Summary: Updated! Musical demons with goatees can be awfully persuasive when it comes down to making kooky decisions like, say, smooching the face off your mortal enemy. Thankfully, the curtain has closed on that brief episode of insanity, and all Buffy has to do is… nothing, forget it ever happened and never see Spike again. Easy.
Dawn‘s brief flirtation with musical theatre has got her wondering about the punkier sides of the Bronze‘s touring bands. Fortunately she‘s found an (un)willing chaperone for the excursion; all Dawn needs to do is… go to a gig and get home safely. Easy.
Unfortunately for Dawn and Buffy, it‘s a Tuesday.
Takes place after OMWF and swerves quickly off canon piste from there.

Story Notes: As a new writer I'm so grateful to the help of Marinaeulalia for her really thorough beta-ing and generally encouragement. You really don't know how British you are until someone reads through your Buffy dialgoue and picks out all the things she would definitely not say!
And for loveisntbrains also, who I'm star struck by and stoked on her wonderful banner ft. the Bronze!
Credit also to Dynamite, who's love of punk & Riot Grrrl reminded me of how much I love punk & Riot Grrrl which gave me the inspiration for this story. I've ended up far from my original idea but the early inspo was hers.

So we're back! I've been writing for Short & Spuffy month, and I'm not the kinda gal who can write two stories at once. I did have these chapters drafted already and they have now been beta'd by the wonderful woman that is Marinaeulalia.
I hope you enjoy!
