When the feed first clicks on, everything seems normal. Just your average, everyday pain in the butt accidental video post facilitated by your friendly neighborhood nosy alien overlords. Dawn is looking through her closet, staring at her clothes consideringly.

Then, out of nowhere? Electric guitars, sounding out the intro to--

"Now listen--
Not a dime, I can't pay my rent
I can barely make it through the week
Saturday night I'd like to make my girl
But right now I can't make ends meet."

That. Dawn is suddenly in motion, dancing around her room in a way that's both appropriate for a Whitesnake video and seemingly previously choreographed. And the guitars have been joined by drums and bass, also seemingly out of nowhere.

"I'm always working slaving every day
Gotta get away from that same old same old
I need a chance just to get away
If you could hear me think this is what I'd say--"

Pause for some serious rocker face, right at the tablet.

"Don't need nothing but a good time
How can I resist?
Ain't looking for nothing but a good time
And it don't get better than this."

Then as soon as it starts, the music cuts out and Dawn is left blinking in confusion, hairbrush clenched tight in her hand.

"Oh, wow. That was. Really, really weird."

Xander sits down on the nearest surface, which happens to be his bed, and pinches the bridge of his nose in an 'oh no not this again' type way.

"I promise I didn't summon anything this time. I've been cutting right back on the demon evocation. Once bitten twice not ever going to touch a spellbook again." Sigh. "Thanks though, I liked yours too, and..."

Oh wait, is that music? Why yes, it is.

"I was made for loving you, baby
You were made for loving me
And I can't get enough of you, baby
Can you get enough of me"

"This is kind of stupid. We're in the same building and talking over the tablets. It's like that cell phone from the front of the house to the back thing, since you can't walk thirty feet."

Anyone who thinks she maybe just wants to see if they can do an epic duet would be... so totally right, carry on.

Also carrying on? The music. This time it's bouncy and sweet, somewhat Broadway-esque.

"Live in my house,
I'll be your shelter,
Just pay me back
With one thousand kisses
Be my lover
and I'll cover you

Open your door,
I'll be your tenant
Don't got much baggage to lay at your feet
But sweet kisses I've got to spare
I'll be there and I'll cover you."

...She doesn't even bother to look annoyed after. What? It was cute.

It was cute, and Xander is more than persuaded to make the (admittedly very short) journey to Dawn's room. It should also be noted that he can't bring himself to look annoyed anymore either.

"You make a good point - okay, I'm on my way. Be with you in T minus 30 seconds."

With that he's off and making his way to Dawn's room, and when he gets there (not bothering to knock, it seems kind of redundant) he's accompanied by the sounds of Motown horns as he opens the door.

"If you need me, call me
No matter where you are
No matter how far
Just call my name
I'll be there in a hurry
You don't have to worry
'Cause baby,
There ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you"

Okay, he might be looking mildly sheepish after that one.
