***Intermission Music***

SHINYYUKARI

Sunday, June 25, 2006 8:50 PM

Ashley wonders the halls of the hotel, starting to trip into her own. She get her key in and is about to go in, when she hears a music box chime. A little girl walks down the hall, holding a little ballerina music box, following her mother. Ashley sees in her eyes that this is her dream. As the little girl passes and the music starts to fade, Ashley closes the door of the hotel room.

They come from every state to find
Some dreams were meant to be declined
Tell the man what did you have in mind
What have you come to do

No turning water into wine
No learning while you're in the line
I'll take you to the broken sign
You see the lights are blue

Come and get it
Lost it at the city limit
Say goodbye
Cause they will find a way to trim it
Everybody
Lookin' for a silly gimmick
Gotta get away
Can't take it for another minute

This town is made of many things
Just look at what the current brings
So high it's only promising
This place was made on you

Tell me baby what's your story
Where you come from
And where you wanna go this time
Tell me lover are you lonely
The thing we need is
Never all that hard to find
Tell me baby what's your story
Where do you come from
And where you wanna go this time
Your so lovely are you lonely
Giving up on the innocence you left behind

Some claim to have the fortitude
To shrewd to blow the interlude
Sustaining pain to set a mood
Step out to be renewed

I'll move you like a baritone
Jungle brothers on the microphone
Getting over with an undertone
It's time to turn to stone

Chitty chitty baby
When your nose is in the nitty gritty
Life could be a little sweet
But life could be a little shitty
What a pity
Boston and a kansas city
Looking for a hundred
But you only ever found a fifty

Three fingers in the honeycomb
You ring just like a xylophone
Devoted to the chromosome
The day that you left home

Tell me baby what's your story
Where you come from
And where you wanna go this time
Tell me lover are you lonely
The thing we need is
Never all that hard to find
Tell me baby what's your story
Where do you come from
And where you wanna go this time
Your so lovely are you lonely
Giving up on the innocence you left behind

Tell me baby what's your story
Where you come from
And where you wanna go this time
Tell me lover are you lonely
The thing we need is
Never all that hard to find
Tell me baby what's your story
Where do you come from
And where you wanna go this time
Your so lovely are you lonely
Giving up on the innocence you left behind

(Tell Me Baby was my second choice, Yukari. Instead..one part of Slow Cheetah..)

Looking in on Glenda, Geraldo sings..

I knew a girl who worked in a store
She knew not what her life was for
She barely knew her name
People tried to tell her she could never be
As happy as the girl in the magazine
She bought it with her pain...

Drinking her coffee, Glenda picks up a magazine and begins to read an artical about abuse in the home of Americans...

They cry in the dark, so you can't see their tears
They hide in the light, so you can't see their fears
Forgive and forget, all the while
Love and pain become one and the same
In the eyes of a wounded child
Because Hell
Hell Is For Children
And you know that their little lives can become such a mess
Hell
Hell Is For Children
And you shouldn't have to pay for your love with your bones and your flesh

It's all so confusing, this brutal abusing
They blacken your eyes, and then apologize
Be daddy's good girl, and don't tell mommy a thing
Be a good little boy, and you'll get a new toy
Tell grandma you fell off the swing

Because Hell
Hell Is For Children
And you know that their little lives can become such a mess
Hell
Hell Is For Children
And you shouldn't have to pay for your love with your bones and your flesh

No, Hell Is For Children

Hell
Hell is for Hell
Hell is for Hell
Hell Is For Children

Glenda for some reason she cannot fathom, feels tired and crawls back into bed. River6213 stays up and continues to drink coffee...

River:
Every single night, the same arrangement
I go out and fight the fight.
Still I always feel this strange estrangement
Nothing here is real, nothing here is right.
A vampire appears from behind a gravestone, rushes at River She spins him around, continues singing.
River:
I've been making shows of [punch] trading blows
Just hoping no one knows [kick, grabs vampire and throws him behind her]
That I've been going through the motions
Walking through the part.
River pulls a stake from her jacket pocket. The vamp attacks her from behind and she stakes him without looking back.

River: Nothing seems to penetrate my heart.
She resumes walking and singing.
River: (verse two)
I was always brave, and kind of righteous.
Now I find I'm wavering.
We see two vampires and a demon gathered near a tree. There's a person tied to the tree. The vampires see River and attack.

River:
Crawl out of your grave, you'll find this fight just [punches a vampire]
Doesn't mean a thing. [punches second vamp]
VAMP 1:
She ain't got that swing.
The vamp punches River and she goes down. A sword is stuck in the ground beside her. She lies there on her back. Sound of crickets chirping.
River: Thanks for noticing.
She continues lying there as the two vamps and the demon begin to do a dance.
VAMPS AND DEMON:
She does pretty well with fiends from hell
But lately we can tell [River gets up and grabs the sword]
That she's just going through the motions
DEMON:
Going through the motions.
River pulls Vamp 1 away, cuts off his head with the sword.
VAMP 2: Faking it somehow. [River pushes him aside, stabs the demon]
DEMON: She's not even half the girl she- [looks down at his wound] ow.
The demon falls over. River continues walking, holding the sword.
River:
Will I stay this way forever?
Sleepwalk through my life's endeavor?
She uses the sword to cut the ropes that are tying the person to a tree. The person comes around the tree trunk and we see it's a very good-looking man.
HANDSOME GUY:
How can I repay-
River:
Whatever.
She turns away, tosses the sword aside and continues walking.
River:
I don't want to beeeeee...
[walks up onto a raised platform ringed by statues, stops]
Going through the motions
Losing all my drive.
I can't even see
If this is really me
And I just want to be-

Vamp 2 attacks her and she stakes him. He explodes into dust which forms an artful cloud, obscuring Buffy from view, then clears as she sings the final word.
River: Aliiiiiive.
End of song "Alive." Wide aerial shot of River standing amidst the gravestones.

Ashley stumbles into her hotel room and passes out on the bed. Another version of her, the one known as Yukari, sits on the bed next to her. Yukari takes a notebook and flips through it, seeing all the ideas that were once pent up. She pats Ashley's leg and continues to go through the note book...

{Yukari:]
Smudged funnies in a broken bottle
On the dot at nine
So daddy throws old clothes
Throws on an old stove
I'm cryin in the corner at 5
Well I've seen black
And I've seen blue
But fine line's I don't see
And just because I am in misery
It don't mean a thing

That I wanna know
That I wanna know

Graduation Day, Graduation Day
We take back everything we said about you

[Kaylee:]
September as far as she remembers
They don't teach humility
And just because her only signal is mayday
It don't mean a thing
That she's faired love
And she's seen war
But fairness she don't see
And just because she is in misery
It don't mean a thing

That she wants to know
That she wants to know

{Both:]
Graduation Day, Graduation Day
We take back everything we said true...

But comroderys old
Doin what I'm told
And everybody knows
This is getting out of hand

Everybody is dying for
The chance to be heard, not ignored
And everybody knows
This is getting out of hand

Graduation Day, Graduation Day
We take back everything we said too...

I'm not gonna
I'm not gonna
I ain't goin to school

I'm not gonna
I'm not gonna
I'm not goin to school

Jayne bursts into song!

*to the tune of "I am the very model of a modern major general*

I am the very model of a modern minor criminal
I get involved in theft and bank heights all of which are filmable
I'm slightly scared of River when she's triggered by subliminal
Messages and wins some fights that should be quite unwinnable
She's scary and she's deadly and she's also totally insane
She doesn't like me very much and might just kill me with her brain
She grabbed me in a tender place once and caused me a lot of pain
And also I betrayed her once for personal financial gain!

*Mal, Kaylee, Zoe and Inara sing*

And also he betrayed her once for personal financial gain
And also he betrayed her once for personal financial gain
And also he betrayed her once for monatary cashy money gain!

*Jayne sings*

It's not as though the crew don't know the mercenary type I am
I'm in it for the money and the sleazy pleasure of the scam
My favourite toys are guns and weapons, anything that can go "Blam!"
And betrayal, after all, is how my Firefly career began
I turned my coat and jumped ship on the understanding there'd be pay
They didn't tell me that I couldn't get it in a certain way
But this crew is daft and never listens to a single word I say
This boat would be much better if they let me captain it my way!

*Mal, Kaylee, Zoe and Inara sing*

This boat would be much better if we let him captain it his way
This boat would be much better if we let him captain it his way
Serenity would rule the skies if we let Jayne captain it his own way!

Ashley wakes up and looks around the hotel room. She shakes her head, wondering if a more artsy version of herelf and Kaylee singing Head Automatica and Jayne expressing how much he wanted to captain Serenity through song was just a dream. She swings her legs over the bed and goes to the bathroom to brush her teeth.

Meanwhile, in somewhere close by, Simon sit, sipping tea and Mal sits across from him, thoughts somewhere else...

[Mal:]
Ba ba da da
Ba ba da da
Ba ba da da
Ba ba da da
Ba ba da da

Take a look at my girlfriend
She's the only one I got (ba ba da da)
Not much of a girlfriend
I never seem to get a lot (ba ba da da, ba ba da da)

Simon looks at Mal like he's crazy but knows where Mal is coming from...

[Simon:]
It's been some time since we last spoke
And this is gonna sound like a bad joke
But Momma, I fell in love again
It's safe to say I have a new girlfriend

And I know it sounds so old
But cupid's got me in a chokehold
And I'm afraid I might give in
Towels on the mat my white flag is wavin'
[Mal:]
(Ba ba da da)

[Simon:]
I mean she even cooks me pancakes
And Alka Seltzer when my tummy aches
If that ain't love, then I don't know what love is

We even got a secret handshake
And she loves the music that my band makes
And I know I'm young, but if I had to choose her or the sun
I'd be one nocturnal son of a gun

[Mal:]
(Ba ba da da, ba ba da da)

Take a look at my girlfriend
She's the only one I got (ba ba da da)
Not much of a girlfriend
I never seem to get a lot (ba ba da da, ba ba da da)

Take a look at my girlfriend
She's the only one I got (ba ba da da)
Not much of a girlfriend
I never seem to get a lot (ba ba da da, ba ba da da)

[Simon:]
It's been awhile since we talked last, and I'm tryin' hard not to talk fast
But Dad, I'm finally thinkin' I may have found the one
Type of girl that will make you way proud of your son

And I know you heard the last song about the girls that didn't last long
But I promise this is on a whole new plane
I can tell by the way she says my name
[Mal:]
(ba ba da da)

[Simon:]
I love the way she calls my phone
She even got her very own ringtone
If that ain't love, then I don't know what love is (ba ba da da)

It's gonna be a long drive home, but I know as soon as I arrive home
And I open the door, take off my coat, and throw my bag on the floor
She'll be back in my arms into my arms once more for sure, like

[Mal:]
Take a look at my girlfriend
She's the only one I got (ba ba da da)
Not much of a girlfriend
I never seem to get a lot (ba ba da da, ba ba da da)

[Simon:]
She's got a smile that would make the most senile
Annoying old man bite his tongue
I'm not done
She's got eyes comparable to sunrise
And it doesn't stop there
Man, I swear
She's got porcelain skin, of course she's a ten
And now she's even got her own song
But movin' on
She's got the cutest laugh I ever heard
And we can be on the phone for three hours
Not sayin' one word
And I would still cherish every moment
And when I start to build my future she's the main component
Call it dumb, call it luck, call it love, or whatever you call it but
Everywhere I go I keep her picture in my wallet like you

[Mal:]
Take a look at my girlfriend
She's the only one I got (ba ba da da)
Not much of a girlfriend
I never seem to get a lot (ba ba da da, ba ba da da)

Take a look at my girlfriend
She's the only one I got (ba ba da da)
Not much of a girlfriend
I never seem to get a lot (ba ba da da, ba ba da da)
