I own neither Buffy nor any of the fandoms I cross it with. These drabbles are all written for prompts given to my over on my lj. For the link, see my profile. More prompts are always welcome. I'll get bored enough to write them eventually.

#2: Buffy, Ruby - With friends like them who needs enemies. – 216 words

.

"Know that warehouse down by the river?" Ruby asks by way of greeting, throwing herself into an empty love seat.

"There's dozens down there," Buffy points out, rolling her eyes.

"The one with the pin-up painted on the side." Ruby leans forward across the table and snatches the other blonde's drink, pulling it towards her and taking a sip. She grimaces at the sugary taste of the cocktail but doesn't hand it back.

Buffy scrunches up her nose as she goes through her mental catalogue of empty warehouses. It takes longer than she'd like to admit. Finally she nods, eying the glass in the demon's hand, wondering if it's worth causing a scene over in the middle of a crowded night club. "Yeah, I know it. Why?"

"Bunch of demons planning mass homicide," Ruby shrugs, twirling the straw between her fingers.

The slayer perks up. "When?"

Checking her watch, the demon frowns. "Midnight?"

Buffy reaches across the table, grabs the other woman's wrist and twists it to check the time herself. Half past eleven.

"What the… Ruby!" She jumps to her feet, grabs her purse and takes off running.

She's already halfway across the dance floor when Ruby kicks her booted feet up on the table and says, mostly to herself, "I'll finish your drink then."
