Drabble: No Escape

[lirazel]

My first drabble reponse for the challenge I issued last week!  This one is for pennydrdful , who requested Buffy and Spike, in a place they had hoped to avoid.  I was incredibly proud of myself for producing an actual 100-word drabble!

So.  Buffy and Spike, post-NFA.  Couldn't come up with a title for something so short, but if you have any suggestions, let me know.  Thanks to angearia  for the title.

“Oh, no.  No, no, no, no, no!”

 

“Buffy—“

 

“You have got to be kidding me!  Are they hellbent on world domination?  Does this signal some apocalypse I have to combat?  Have they followed me here?”

 

“Pet, I really don’t think that it’s anything to do with you.  It’s just the way these people operate.”

 

“They’re trying to torture me.  They are.”

 

“Look, we’ll just…ignore it, alright?  Stay far away.”

 

“Spike, get me out of here.”

 

And Spike takes her elbow and steers her away from the brand new Doublemeat Palace, its flashing “Grand Opening!” sign lighting up Leicester Square.

Bwahaha! Poor Buffy!
Hopefully Spike fill find a way to distract her! :)

Ha! Glad you enjoyed it!

And yes, yes, in my future!Spuffy!verse, Spike is always looking for opportunities to distract her...and she's always glad when he does!

HAHA! That is definitely a place Buffy never wanted to see again.

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

I thought so! Can you imagine her horror?

Oh, evil [hat] memories!!!

:Giggle:

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

Yes, indeed! Poor, poor Buffy! I'm sure she's trying to wipe those memories from her mind entirely!

Brilliant! LOL

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much! Glad you liked it!

[angearia.livejournal.com]

Bwah! Love it.

You could go for a title like "Evil Signs" or "Signs of Imminent Evil". Heh - "No Escape".

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

So glad you liked it!

Ooooh! I like those suggestions! I think I might have to go with "No Escape." Thanks!

Heee! That seems like a very plausible scenario.;)

Thanks! That's what happens with fast food chains--they take over till you're in Honduras or a small town in the Czech Republic and you keep seeing McDonald's everywhere and you ask God why you can't escape them (and yes, this has happened to me).

Ha! Fantastic!! What a great, light-hearted take on the prompt. Thanks so much :)

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

So glad you liked it! You're welcome! And honestly, at first, everything I came up with was so angst, and I thought, "There's no way I could do a drabble; it would turn into an epic!" And then this just came to me....

I'm so grateful to you for the prompt! I almost never write silly or even lighthearted stuff, and I'm so glad I got to here! Thanks again!

(Wow, that was a lot of exclamation points. Apologies.)
