Chapter 5: All I want for Christmas

Buffy falls into a fighting posture, demanding, “Why are you here?”
A little tune begins, and Buffy groans as Sweet begins singing, and she finds herself in the grasp of the music.
“All I want for Christmas is a bride or Queen,
Someone, a match, I’d like to bring,
My lonely dimension, needs a being,
A companion, a beauty, to be seen.
See if I could only,
Have a dancing queen,
Then I could leave forever,
Not be stuck in between!”
Giles looked up, as the accompanying music faded. “Stuck in between? What do you mean?”
Sweet gave a theatrical sigh.
“It seems so long,
Since I last saw all of you.
That last song,
Was a tad bit askew.
I never got to go back
To my home, my dimension.
Instead I got tacked
In this in-between tension
An in-between dimension.”
Sweet cleared his throat, flashed a smile, and added,
“It does seem, however, that I received a summoning.
This time all I needed, was a thought, some stray thinking.
So who was it, who wanted it? Some extra celebrating?”
Everyone immediately looked towards Buffy. Buffy’s eyes widened in realization, but she pouted slightly. “Ok, that is so not fair. It could’ve been, like, anyone in Sunnydale. Anyone, who had a bit of holiday spirit. Right?” Buffy took the opportunity to turn towards her friends, subtly cueing Jenny and Willow to begin their spell, as she turned again to face Sweet and distract him with her complaining.
“Now, what kind of system do you have anyway? If you can’t even tell who summoned you, what’s up with trying to take the summon-er to be your queen or whatever anyway? You know what, I think that’s just your lame, over-used excuse, cuz, you know, it’d be so easy for you to pick any ol’ lady from any town. In fact, why not go to Hollywood and leave Sunnydale alone? It’s not that far away, with all your inter-dimensional travel and crap, you could at least go pick a tourist destination. Plus, I’m sure Hollywood would appreciate the extra song-and-dance. You could even inspire a musical. It couldn’t have hurt you to do a little tactical thinking in your stuck in-between state, could it now?”
As Buffy spoke, she moved towards Sweet, who still had an unperturbed smile on his face. That’s when the music started up again.
Xander and Oz started off, “We wish you would just leave Sunnydale,
Giles continued, “We wish you would just leave and go to hell,
Buffy finished, “We wish you would end the songs and bells and have a crappy new year!”
Jenny and Willow, who had finished their preparations, began a sing-song chant of their own, as the tapping of various drums could be heard and a new tune arose.
“Leave, we command you,“
Buffy and the others provided the additional, “Ba rum bum bum bum”
Willow and Jenny continued,
“There is no Queen meant for you,” “Ba rum bum bum bum”
“The binding spell we weave… “ “Ba rum bum bum bum”
“Will now force you to leave” “Ba rum bum bum bum, rum bum bum bum, rum bum bum bum”
“So to cast you” “Ba rum bum bum bum”
“away when we sing…”
The others all joined in “Away when we sing…”
Sweet, unable to move the second the tune of ‘Little Drummer Boy’ started, was startled to suddenly find himself unable to control his own body as he spun off the stage and began spinning faster and faster as the Scoobies repeated their line, and Willow and Jenny caught Sweet in a magical web.
With a blast of sound, light, and sparks, Sweet combusted as everyone half-sang, half-shouted, “Leave, now!”
The music abruptly ended.
Buffy glanced down at her watch, then looked at the others, smiling brightly. “We have just enough time to go caroling!”

I had some fun changing lyrics and stuff w/ carols, and I guess while I did that I kind of forgot to have a real plot, but anyway, happy holidays everyone, because this is the end of my little ficlet.
