AUTHOR'S NOTES: A writer in another genre suggested I try to stick to lighter, fluffier stories for awhile. She said the lighter fics keep me happier, and I should try and stay happier and positive right now or I'll never get a job (actually, she said I wouldn't save enough money go to see *NSYNC but whatever). I guess she's right, fluff fics don't leave me depressed the way some of my other work has. When I finished one of my post-IWRY fics, I was so upset that I couldn't calm down without watching Earshot and listening to Britney Spears music. (God, that's embarrassing.) So, following her advice, I try harder to bring you silly stories. In The End this isn't, but I do like it. :)
AUTHOR'S NOTES2: Hope I spelled all the figure skater's names right…

"It's blasphemy, I tell you!" Buffy shouted. "Blasphemy!"

"Buffy," Giles said in his usual, calm voice, "Perhaps you should calm down. After all, it is only the Olympics and-"

"Only the Olympics?!" Buffy's face filled with rage. "ONLY THE OLYMPICS?"

"Buffy takes figure skating very seriously," Dawn said, creeping her way into the webcam's view. She waved at Giles and he waved back. "She wanted to be Peggy Flemming when she was little, remember?"

"Dorothy Hamil!" Buffy shouted. "It was Dorothy Hamil!"

"I like Kristi Yammagucci," Willow said from her usual spot in front of the computer.

"Giles, maybe you English shudder the Olympics because you never win medals," Buffy said tersely, "But I LOVE the Olympics. I LOVE THEM. They are a sacred time for all athletes but especially for figure skaters, and Michelle was robbed. She was ROBBED!"

"Buffy-"

"Robbed!" Buffy repeated.

"Willow, is it no use?" Giles asked even though he couldn't see her.

"She's right, Giles. I may not be as verbal about it as Buffy is, but the results were extremely unfair."

"I suck at math," Dawn spoke up. "And even I know that you can't possibly go from fourth to first."

"Um, well, no. Not usually."

The phone rang and Buffy flew out of the room.

"What on Earth?" Giles gave Dawn a blank look.

She returned the expression and rolled her eyes. He should KNOW about this by now. "It's Thursday night."

"And?" he pressed.

"Angel calls every Thursday," Willow explained.

"Like clockwork." Dawn added.

"Hi!" Buffy answered enthusiastically, the way she always answers the phone on Thursdays, in case it's time. Sometimes she scares of telemarketers, which is an added bonus.

"Michelle got ROBBED!" Angel growled.

Buffy smiled and leaned against the fridge. "I knew you'd see it that way. Now, about the pairs competition...."
