Disclaimer: Joss is a creative god. He has assembled an

incredible writing

team of which I am not a member. He created them, they make

money off of

them, I'm just borrowing them for an outing into non-canon

territory and I

sure as heck ain't making any money off of them. I'm just a

fan.

Spoilers: None

Distribution: Shoot me an email first, I'll probably say

yes.

Summary: Response to Cat's Challenge:

"I dare you to write a one paragraph story. In seven

sentences or less,

you must have an introduction, climax and resolution. It can

be funny,

serious, silly or scary. Just have fun with it."

Feedback: Please feed my ego and help me keep the

inspiration flowing.

The Spoken Word

by

Tzigane

He loved her, more than life itself. He needed her more than

he needed

blood to survive. She was the reason he walked the earth and

he would do

anything to prove it to her. With her blonde hair, her

ever-changing eyes,

her strength and her courage, she had become his soul.

Without her, his

unlife was meaningless. And it all came down to this moment

in time that

he could prove himself to her, this one moment when he could

show her his

love with words that would mean more than any he had ever

spoken.

"I do."
