Bridge gets up on stage, takes a deep breath, and sings. It should be fairly obvious who this song is directed at. Here's a hint: it's not Dick or Tino.

These days I feel a change, all the patterns rearranged
Though I can't explain, I know I'm not afraid
Now I realize all good things can be supplied
And they come from you

It's all brand new, and it shines right through
Shines right through me
I look at you, and it shines right through
Shines right through me

This feeling that I've found, like sleeping on a cloud
Smiling at the sky, not even knowing why
Strange how things work out, but I know without a doubt
That it comes from you

Break me out of emptiness, lead me to your light
Anything worth having is worth some sacrifice
Laid too long in loneliness, this world was made to change
Half an hour of sunshine is worth a week of rain

Air is flowing free, it's a little easier to breathe
This soul unbound, was lost and found
No reason left to hide, I feel a light inside and it comes from you
It comes from you...

Xander doesn't ask how the zombies seem to know every single song ever; he just responds to the incoherent blurgle that he assumes is a yes (since it's accompanied by the opening notes of the tune) by backing away from the band and towards the microphone.

I'm so cool, too bad I'm a loser
I'm so smart, too bad I can't get anything figured out
I'm so brave, too bad I'm a baby
I'm so fly, that's probably why it
Feels just like I'm falling for the first time

I'm so green, it's really amazing
I'm so clean, too bad I can't get all the dirt off of me.
I'm so sane, it's driving me crazy
It's so strange, I can't believe it
Feels just like I'm falling for the first time

Anyone perfect must be lying, anything easy has its cost
Anyone plain can be lovely, anyone loved can be lost
What if I lost my direction? What if I lost sense of time?
What if I nursed this infection? Maybe the worst is behind
It feels just like I'm falling for the first time.

I'm so chill, no wonder it's freezing
I'm so still, I just can't keep my fingers out of anything
I'm so thrilled to finally be failing
I'm so done, turn me over cause it
Feels just like I'm falling for the first time

Anything plain can be lovely, anything loved can be lost
Maybe I lost my direction, what if our love was the cost?
Anyone perfect must be lying, anything easy has its cost
Anyone plain can be lovely, anyone loved can be lost
What if I lost my direction? What if I lost sense of time?
What if I nursed this infection? Maybe the worst is behind.
It feels just like I'm falling for the first time.

Dick was there. He was concentrating on making a log cabin out of toothpicks but he was there. Tino was also there for the modding.

There is a Xander at the bar, nursing something blue with more rum in it than the smell would make you think. Yay Tino; Xander can use all the fortification he can get.

There's a Bridge not far behind him, who gives the blue drink a suspicious look and orders something green for himself.

"Hey!" And then he's not so much behind as sitting beside.

"I'm not drunk enough to sing yet," Xander warns him.

"That's okay, we've still got lots of time," Bridge says cheerfully. "Plus I'm gonna sing even if I'm not drunk."

"Oh, I will too. I'll just sound better if I'm sloshed. ....to me, anyway."

"But you're not singing for you, you're singing for me," Bridge points out logically.

"I'll probably sound better to you if I'm sloshed too."

"You always sound good to me."

"Even when I'm singing the Lumberjack Song?" Xander asks curiously. "I tried to convince Mel she needed to know it so she could pretend to be a lumberjack when she comes with us to protect me from your parents, but she wasn't buying it."

Sadly, he's really not drunk yet.

"I don't know the lumberjack song," Bridge says, confused. "And you're not gonna need *protection*,"

"Well, having a superpowered bodyguard never hurts," Xander argues. Then he adds, "You really don't know the Lumberjack Song?"

"Um, am I supposed to?" Bridge blinks.

"Well, if you ever want to disguise yourself as a lumberjack, yes."

"It's never really come up..." Bridge says thoughtfully. "I mean, SPD does undercover work, sometimes, but not at like, logging camps... at least no one's ever needed to *before*..."

"You never know when aliens are gonna try to infiltrate disguised as an oak tree," Xander points out.

"That wasn't an alien, that was a sorcerer," Bridge retorts.

"And that means aliens can't have the same idea?"

"...No," Bridge admits.

"So you clearly need to learn the Lumberjack Song for your own protection."

"I don't suppose you'd know anyone willing to teach it to me," Bridge says.

"Sure!" Xander nods - then twigs to where he is. "uh..."

"This *so* doesn't count as the song you owe me," Bridge says. "So you don't have to sing it now if you don't want."

Xander glances at his glass, then shakes his head. "Yeah, I haven't had quite enough booze to convince myself it's funnier than it is stupid."

"Want me to sing mine?" Bridge chirps, having finished his glass of green... whatever it was (he chose based on the colour) a while ago.

Xander grins. "Sure." Gives him more time to ~~drink~~ pick his own song.

Bridge bounces off to the stage (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomtownies/1795689.html?thread=82400873#t82400873), returning once his song is done.

"You're kind of a dork," Xander says after studying him for a quiet moment. If that comes out sounding a little like I kinda love you, it's not a coincidence.

"It's true, you know," Bridge says easily. "You're my light."

"God help you if you're trying to read by me, then. I can be pretty dim sometimes," Xander answers, covering his reaction to that with a joke because...well, because he's Xander. He heads for the stage before he lets his mouth run too far away with him.

When he gets back, he coughs and reaches for his drink.

Bridge is grinning kind of a lot. "I do believe the dorkiness is mutual," he says.

"So you don't wish I'd gone with the Lumberjack Song instead?" Xander puts down his drink and grins back.

"Nope," Bridge says. "I like *that* song."

"It didn't actually qualify as a stripping song, though." ....not that the Lumberjack Song does either.

"We could save that part for another night?" Bridge suggests.

"At least the musical part," Xander agrees. There could still be stripping. Just possibly the more practical kind.

"I am totally okay with that." Bridge nods.

My computer is being a bitch tonight so I might be a wee bit slow on pings.
