Pumpin' up the volume
Breakin' down to the beat
Cruisin' through the west side
We'll be checkin' the scene
Boulevard is freakin'
As I'm comin' up fast
I'll be burnin' rubber
You'll be kissin' my as*
Pull up to the bumper
Get out of the car
License plate says
Stunner #1 Superstar

"All right boys and girls, lets see if the sound system is working in this joint." Sara led them out to the polished floor and up to the wall "This is an interactive club, not exactly karaoke, but close. What you do is place your hand here" Sara gestures to the hand mark on the wall "And your 'theme' music for the moment, will play. You don't have to get on stage, but you can, if no one steps on stage images will appear on the screen up there. Be warned though, once you are on stage, you will have to finish the song."

"What do you mean 'for the moment,'" Gunn tested.

"Well, moods change, and so does, theme music, you probably won't get the same song twice." She looked around "So who would like to go first?" No one moved, so Sara demonstrated, thus going first. She jumped onto the stage as the music started, and instantly looked like part of the band that was playing.

It was the Beastie Boys', Fight for your Right to Party. The video played behind her as everyone got into the music and started dancing. Her clothes changed to a t-shirt and baggy jeans. Chains with large medallions hung around her neck.

After it was over, Gunn took his turn, but opted to not get on stage. His song was Clint Eastwood by Gorillaz. The video played while everyone enjoyed the song. Everyone stopped to watch Noodles kick the Gorillas around. Everyone agreed it was an awesome video.

Dawn got into the swing of things and ran up and placed her hand on the spot. It started playing a song she wasn't that familiar with, but everyone liked the sound of it. Lights flashed and swam with the music. It gave the stage the illusion of lightening dancing across its floor. Afterward, Sara explained that it read the key, and that next time her personality might come out more in the music. The song was Pure Energy by Information Society.

There was silence for a moment then a slow song started, they all looked up to see Willow on stage. It was the Cure with their song, Lovesong. Spike looked at Buffy and gestured to the floor, she rolled her eyes and turned her back to him.

Tara ran into the ladies room. She was crying and Sara went to comfort her, followed closely by Buffy who was trying to distance herself from Spike.

"Tara, Willow still loves you very much, maybe you guys could take it slow." Sara tried, but Willow ran out almost knocking Buffy over.

Next song started playing, and to everyone surprise it was Tara. It was Pictures of Matchstick Men by Ozzy Osbourne and Type O Negative. One the screen behind her imprints of eyes stared across the room. Every time the lyric 'you lied' came up a single tear ran out of the electronic eyes. Tara got off stage and ran into Willow's arms. They were both crying uncontrollably.

Wesley was next, his song lightened the mood and everyone had a big laugh at what "The Hand" picked for him. It was a variation on Stayin' Alive by the Bee Gees, it was sung by Ozzy and Dweezil Zappa. The magical stage placed him in the John Travolta white polyester suit from Saturday Night Fever. He got right into character and hammed it up all the way.

Anya followed with Changes by David Bowie. The was pictures of money piles and wedding dresses. Some pictures of her with her demon face and some her with Xander.

Anya pushed her fiance up to the hand and it blessed Xander with Pretty Fly for a White Guy by Offspring. He did a "Hey" kinda look then got into character then the song.

It picked Stupify by Disturbed for Fred. Her reality had changed so many times. A song about someone's mental scope on reality seemed to fit her perfectly.

Stupify by Disturbed

Spike got into the act and did Rebel Yell by Billy Idol. He had the look down pat, including the signature sneer. Her made some lude gestures during the song that made everyone stare at Buffy. Buffy got so mad she thought for sure it would pick a song that portrayed it and ran up, placed her hand on the imprint and ran up on the stage. Then the song started, and there was nothing she could do but finish ...Joan Jett's I hate myself for Loving You.
