'Hello Little Girl', one for open_on_sunday challenge #118 - The Beatles

[darkhavens]

Pairing: Dru, Willow, reference to Willow/Tara
Disclaimer: Not mine, never will be. No harm, no foul, no money made.
AN1: Although this is set in the baby!vamp!Xander!verse, all you need to know is that Spike turned Xander, they're happy, Willow wants to resoul Xander, and Dru has tracked her down to... talk her out of it. ;)
AN2: Thanks to reremouse for the petting and pandering to the madperson on YIM. ;)
AN3: All titles taken from Steve's Beatles Page.


Hello Little Girl

"Nobody's child, you cry for a shadow, you're the girl with the devil in her heart. You're fixing a hole for no-one, not a second time...

"Do you want to know a secret? This boy's not in chains. He's free as a bird so let it be, leave my kitten alone...

"I'm looking through you, blackbird, and it's all too much. I've just seen a face, another girl, Lady Madonna. Mean Mr Mustard thinking happiness is a warm gun. I saw her standing there, oh, misery! It won't be long. Ask me why, little child."

"W...why?"

"Because. You'll be mine."

This is actually something I've always wanted to try (I should have thought of the Beatles) but could never get to work and make sense. This is fantastic! And my favorite part: "Do you want to know a secret? This boy's not in chains. He's free as a bird so let it be, leave my kitten alone... And it sounds like Dru! Your drabbles always amaze me - this one's just exceptional.

[darkhavens.livejournal.com]

Thank you! It nearly made my head explode, but it was fun to do. :D

And see, I bypassed the 'making sense' part by letting Dru say it all. ;)

[zandra-x.livejournal.com]

Ha! and again Ha! But really, I think you have too much time on your hands.

[darkhavens.livejournal.com]

LOL! Thanks... I think. *g*

[moimoietmoi.livejournal.com]

Wow! Impressive! *g*

[darkhavens.livejournal.com]

Thanks! :D

[sunnyd-lite.livejournal.com]

You are insane, bloody brilliant, but insane. Well done!

[darkhavens.livejournal.com]

Hee! Thank you. :D

Dammit. I hate the Beatles. Absolutely hate them. Capital H.

But this was unbelievable. You have an amazing talent there, chicklet.

(Ok, ok, I admit it. There is a Beatles song that I like. Except no one I know has ever heard of it. Which is creepy. It's called "Run for your life.")

I knew Dru could fix the Willow problem. I love Dru. I think I need a Dru icon...hmmmm...

[darkhavens.livejournal.com]

LOL! Thanks, darlin'. :D

I just went back to the site and found the lyrics to 'Run For Your Life' - wow! Realy really not your typical happy clappy Beatles track, huh? *g*

[outsideth3box.livejournal.com]

Heheh...no, it really isn't the same old same old silly Beatles tune, huh?

I think that's why I like it. It's sort of, The Beatles: The Dark Side. Ya know? Just...more *real* than anything else of theirs. I've liked that song since I was twelve and first discovered it.

That's so cool, you looked it up. ::G::

[lunabee34.livejournal.com]

What a novel concept. Very well done.

[darkhavens.livejournal.com]

Thanks. :D

It was one of those wierd ideas that wouldn't go away until I gave in.

[authoressnebula.livejournal.com]

Okay, this? DAMN. That was just...wow. *bows down in honor of your skills*

[darkhavens.livejournal.com]

Hee! Thankee. :D

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

what a cool idea and it worked wonderfully. Willow Dru? How unusual.

[darkhavens.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I blame the electric storm that woke me up. It fried my circuits. *g*

[piratepurple.livejournal.com]

You are so amazingly talented. You made the song titles sound just like Dru!babble.

[darkhavens.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I was reading the list on Sunday and thinking ooh, now if I put that one and that one together I could hear Dru saying it... and when I woke up today the idea was a huge thing in my brain that wouldn't go away so I sat down and did it. :D

[literati.livejournal.com]

excellent Dru voice as always, babe.

::loves Dru::

I like the fact that you never limit yourself to what or who you write.

♥

Oh I do, I just have mad-brane days and you using the puss-in-boots eyes, and now Kyri... *g*

Thank you darlin'! *smooch*

[tabaqui]

Dude!
That's very, very cool.
:)

[darkhavens.livejournal.com]

It made my brain hurt, but in a good way. Damn, the Beatles have some wierdass song titles. *g*

Thanks! :D

[amejisuto.livejournal.com]

That's just so damn good! Dru rocks! Way to go!

[darkhavens.livejournal.com]

Thanks, sweetie! It was kinda fun having her in my head but now she's gone and left all these Beatles snippets behind and they're driving me crazy! *g*

[maddogs991.livejournal.com]

let it be, leave my kitten alone
That part really could be Dru :D Loved it, very clever use of all the titles. Awesome stuff.

[darkhavens.livejournal.com]

Thanks. :D

Dru is amazing fun to write.

*blink* Okay, I don't know how it happened but I had the same thought to do this for Sue's Music of Pain ficathon next week. Using song lyrics to make prose. There has got to be some hive mind stuff going on here. Either that or it's something in the water.

Awesome work, and using lyrics for Dru's dialogue is perfect. I wonder if Willow was able to work herself out of it?

There has got to be some hive mind stuff going on here. Either that or it's something in the water.

It's music festival season, at least over here, and the challenges are both music-related. Obviously we have synchronised a brain-wrinkle or two.

Thanks!

You'll hve to wait and see about Willow. ;)
