Prelude and fugue

With apologies to peasant_



This is a fairy story.

Once there was a dancer who wanted to dance. Once there was an evil magician who said:

“Come dance for me.”

And she came. She came and he trapped her like a butterfly on a pin and she danced to his tune. Always the same tune.

But a handsome man came to save her and the magician’s power was broken and…




This is another story.

Once there was a little girl who loved to dance. Once there was an evil government who said:

“Come dance for us.”

And she came. She came and they trapped her like a lightning bug in a jar and they taught her a new dance. That dance was death.

But a handsome man came to save her and he put her in a box and tried to take her home. But that home was broken and the wind blew through it. How does the story end?

Nice one!

Shall I tell you my super secret pet theory?
Dru was a ballet dancer.

It fits her class. It fits the way she moves. It fits the fact that Angelus had a thing about the ballet. And it fits that Joss loves thin girls who dance and kill and dance some more.

So I reckon you need a third movement ;)

I do. And could the ballet dancer thing even go some way to accounting for the accent what with travelling around a lot?

In my own sekrit dance ranking of of the 'verse Dru always comes out top. Angel/Angelus has a 'not even bothering to try' thing going in 'She' that I think shows potential. Darla would just want to know when she was getting paid and Spike has never grasped the principles of leading.

Lovely. I can see Dru as a dancer, especially since she hears her own music...
