War of Words and Heart
A/N: This is my first fic (God, if I had a penny for every time I heard that phrase...), and I am so totally open to all flames and suggestions.
Summary: Buffy Summers and Spike Detherow are two opposing lawyers with some bad history. (Trust me, it shall get better once I work out the plot.)
Rated: PG (Again, once the plot is worked out, there may be some changes.)
Spoilers: None, zip, zilch, nadda, (Ok, I think you get the point) .....................................................
Buffy Summers walked into her office on the second floor of Witherstein & Giles, one of the best places to go for an attorney in all of Sunnydale, California. Of course, considering that it was the only place to go for attorneys, aside from their competition, Detherow and Associates, that really wasn't saying much. But of course, it's always good to look at the glass as half full, as Buffy's mother would say.
Buffy had just won a case over a petty lawsuit, albeit an EXPENSIVE one (For her client, anyways), that had boosted her ratings as one of the best in her league by a considerable amount. Now, her boss, and pseudo-father figure, Rupert Giles, was walking towards her with a face that just screamed, "I'm gonna ramble about how this doesn't effect the amount of effort you need to put into your job, yada, yada, yada, so on and so forth." Buffy prepared herself for the massive boredom that was sure to come forth.
Buffy put on her most innocent looking face and said, "Hiya, Giles! Come to reward me for the stunning case I just put up?" She took one look at his face; that now clearly read: "I am not amused," and decided pointedly that he was, in fact, not amused.
"I am not amused."
'Bingo!' Buffy thought. 'Do I get a teddy bear now?' She grinned at the idea.
"However," Giles started again, "I suppose a congratulation is in order, even if the case was primarily a shoe-in for someone of your standings, but- "
Buffy cut him off with a resounding "Well, Duh! Why didn't you give that case to an intern or something? It was in the bag the moment I walked through the door!"
Giles gave her another look. He was getting way to good at those. "As I was saying, you have a new client, a Mrs. Beaker, who is trying to get a divorce, but her husband is not agreeing because of some reason or another, I believe he said that 'Everything was just a misunderstanding.'"
This time Giles had a new look on his face, one that said: "Now I'm going to clean my glasses, please ask me what's wrong."
"What's wrong?" Buffy asked monotonously.
"Well, it has come to my attention that the attorney you shall be arguing against is, and this is really quite funny, actually," He said with a nervous chuckle, "Spike Detherow."
Buffy's eyes got very wide, and suddenly she let out an ear-splitting sound.
"WHAT!" .....................................................
A/N: So, waddya think? Should I continue? Please r/r. P.S.~ If anyone has any lawyer/attorney-esque terms, such as, oh, I don't know, 'WHAT DO YOU CALL A PLACE WHERE ATTORNEYS WORK?!' 'Cuz, seriously, my mind is drawing a blank at the moment, please write out a list and email them to almcintyre@earthlink.net. Mucho Thanks!
Lots of Love, Andi
