March 21, 2008 (AP) -- "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" was resurrected for one night only. The cast of the popular supernatural series, which ran from 1997 to 2003 on The WB and then UPN, were in good spirits Thursday while reuniting for a panel discussion at the William S. Paley Television Festival.

That doesn't mean fans should expect the gang to get back together on screen.

"So many stars would have to align," creator Joss Whedon said about the possibility of a new "Buffy" project.

For seven seasons, the slayer and company battled vampires, demons, werewolves, high school and other forces of darkness with tongue planted firmly in cheek.

"Buffy the Vampire Slayer," based on the movie of the same name, was never lauded with many awards, but it has been cited by many critics as being one of the most influential shows in TV history.

Sarah Michelle Gellar said she was surprised to find out moments before the reunion that her character recently had her first sexual tryst with a woman in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Eight," a comic book series that picks up where the show ended. Gellar also reminisced about auditioning 11 times before landing the role of Buffy Summers.

"All my friends felt sorry for me because I was on a midseason replacement on a network no one had heard of on a show based on a movie that wasn't all that," the 30-year-old actress said.

Before the panel, audience members watched the fifth-season musical episode "Once More, With Feeling." Other cast members at the reunion were Amber Benson, Nicholas Brendon, Emma Caulfield, Seth Green, James Marsters and Michelle Trachtenberg, who played Buffy's surprise sister Dawn and will join the cast of The CW's "Gossip Girl" this fall.

Chapter 04: Prepping the Inn

Huffing and puffing, Renfield slowly dragged the hand-cart up the pathway. It had been a while since he had to do this, and he was a bit out of shape as a result. "Why the Master just doesn't let me use some sort of 20th century automotive device to deliver this stuff, I'll never know". But he learned not to question his Master's word.

He stopped the cart in front of the doorway, and began to pull some bottles from within it. Wine bottles, to be exact, but of course his Master never drinks wine, nor do any of his guests, as far as he knows.

Chapter 02

With elastic step, inhaling the night-air with voluptuous delight, Reginald Clarke made his way down Broadway, lying stretched out before him, bathed in light and pulsating with life.

Dance of Death

When darkness falls
The beasts of prey
Call you from your shallow slumber
The Ancient voice
Echoes in your mind
And brings you sweet insanity

You feel the thirst
It's everything
Taking over body and soul

It's too late now
You can't resist
Begin your deadly dance

Now darkness falls
And the beasts of prey
Call you from your shallow slumber

Death and carnage
Sustain your being
And drown you in insanity

Bells Ringing

The moments come and go, painfully slow
A stillness in the air, as time decides to stop
Thoughts slipping through a passage of the mind
Quivering as they wish to explode across the void
It is these days that I detest; patience wears thin
Teetering on the edge of love and life
Yet the phone does not ring and the mail is late
How long should I give and never receive
Coming so close only to pull away once more
Awkwardness riddling two paths becoming one
Wicked are the clouds that swirl with abandonment

Lost Love

Pain and destruction; laughter in my head,
Last words are drownding out the ones you said,
"Master of America" as you flawlessly die in my bed
Not only you, but my soul now is also dead.

Time to seek laughter, and a normal life
Time to realize the ones you love, are also the ones you hate.
Not ready for your sex until I'm a wife
What is between us Destiny? or was it Fate?

Diffrences, compromises so much to share
Take what you will, but please leave me not so bare
