Trio: The Musical by Selena and Andraste (PG)

Fandom: BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER
Pairing: None - Characters: Warren, Andrew and Jonathan
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] selenak and [livejournal.com profile] andrastewhite
Author Website: Selena's FanFiction.net page, Andraste's site, Blue Shades
Why this must be read:

Because it's Trio: The Musical! The authors have written Once More, With Feeling from the point of view of the Trio and it is so funny. Who is the greatest captain of Starfleet? Who needs a brain, a heart, the nerve? The lyrics are classic, the story is given an excellent twist, and who can miss Xander's cameo?

JONATHAN:

The greatest Captain was Picard
His voice was great and his head was bald
He faced the Borg, and even when
They ever hereafter were heard of again
They still were cool when he faced them
The great Picard
The greatest Captain of Starfleet.

[Warren and Andrew have stopped fighting by this point and are staring at
Jonathan in amazement. Warren then joins in.]

WARREN:

But Kirk scored chicks in space galore
He never argued, always wore
That phaser by which battles were saved
A bluff or two, and the enemy caved
Before him - James T. Kirk
The greatest Captain of Starfleet

ANDREW:

Janeway wasn't bad, either -
She had shiny hair ...

JONATHAN AND WARREN:

Shut up or beware!

JONATHAN:

His needs were few, his room was bare
A gold fish bowl and a fancy chair
A flute and books on archaeology
An educated man was he
Negotiations were his art
Jean-Luc Picard
The greatest Captain of Starfleet.

WARREN:

Torture-immune and cool he was,
Kick-ass and clever and winning all wars.
Kirk didn't talk, he was all action -

JONATHAN [interrupting]:

Picard pondered, and Picard planned
Like an intelligent man, he planned.

WARREN:

James T. was smooth, James T. was subtle
James T. would blink, and Klingons would scuttle.
James T., James T., James T., James T., James T.

ANDREW:

You two don't mention Sisko; odd
Because he did become a god.

WARREN AND JONATHAN:

Don't make us cry or rather yell!

ANDREW:

And Archer has a dog as well!

WARREN:

James T.!

JONATHAN:

Jean-Luc Picard!

TOGETHER:

The greatest Captain of Starfleet!


[After the last note dies away, the Trio stand blinking at each other for a
moment.]

You might want to mention who the Trio are outside of the cuttag, for the non-Buffy fandom people. I was so confused, since in my head Trio=Harry Potter&Co.
