TITLE: Big into Dominoes
DISCLAIMER: Not mine all belongs to Joss.
"How's the leg, and well the other bones Spike?"
"Fine, Nibblet, getting well better. You ok with it just being the two of us? What with Xander looking after demon girl's head injuries, Giles finally resting that spear wound and Red and Tara getting some girl time together? Don't mind a quiet evening in front of the telly?"
"No problemo, loving the Discovery Channel do piranhas"
"Takes me back them. Weird. And to what that bastard Doc said about me being big into dominoes. Sorry, pet shouldn't have mentioned him."
"Its ok. Take my mind off things. Tell me. Go on you know you wanna. Please Spike"
"OK. You know I broke up with Dru in Brazil right. Well, came back to the States via the Amazon. After Carnivale of course. And that is a very good story you don't get 'til you are much, much older"
"I am older! Than you anyway!"
"Nice try, no chance, official ages here pet. Anyway I drive up to Belem; it's this port city on the mouth of the Amazon. River's so big there you can't see one side from the other. Great juices, you'd love 'em, really great scungy bars, again no stories about those 'til you're older, sorry. But the roads through the jungle don't work too well so its safer to riverboat it. Everybody does. More fun too.
Anyway I get the car loaded in the bottom deck of the boat and sling my hammock on the middle deck in the middle away from the sun to get some air, it being dead hot and stuffy downstairs. But the best bit was the boat has this bar on the top deck. Tricky during the day - couldn't play football on deck with the boys then, but night-time was fun. Always is. Bit of a pain when the ball got kicked too far, must be loads of footballs heading for Africa at a fair rate of knots.
Funny thing was that nobody was allowed to play cards. Apparently people get shot. So instead they were playing the most aggressive game of dominoes I've ever seen in my life - or unlife. Honestly those tiles got slammed so hard on the tables the beer was in severe danger on a regular basis.
Beer was great though. They had this great one called Antarctica, with a penguin logo on it. Saw this great T-Shirt with an Antarctica penguin with a beer in its flipper falling out of the logo. Would look great on you, didn't fit the Big Bad image though, so didn't get it. Should have.
Anyway 6 days on the boat, surviving on some bags in the car's boot"
"That's the trunk, right?"
"Always get confused Nibblet. Anyway bags and some quick bites on stops. Can't hunt on small boats, too obvious. But wouldn't do that now 'course. Even if I could. Old days. Before.
Anyway, story. Spent 6 days playing dominoes, trying not to break the table slapping the tiles down, supping beer, and playing footie with the locals. Fun. Til we get stuck on a sandbar for a day. That was bad, Ran out of beer! Eventually got floated off when we got a tropical downpour. That's wierd pet, it rains so hard you'd be drier in the river! Instant shower, just add shampoo and soap.
Got to Manaus and head North. Dig the car out a couple of times and now we get to the piranas. Funny, thought they'd be bigger. I'm at a small river crossing and the local policeman decides he's board, and wants to bug and get a bribe out of the foreigner. Odd as most crossings were ok. Wrong vamp to chose. Peckish too. Anyway, short story he ends up drained and I got a body to deal with. So decide to see piranhas in action. Pretty impressive. Played piranha fishing with the arms. Which was a bad thing, don't do it. Know you wouldn't, wouldn't either now, not now. Couldn't"
"So real feeding frenzy huh? More popcorn?"
"Thanks, Nibblet. Ooh that's a good bit!
