Douglas Adams' books, so I can't really take credit for it, but it just had so
many possibilities that I had to do something with it. And here this is. Hope you like!
Buffy tingled and stopped
walking. "Well, well. Would you look at this," A male voice called
out from an alleyway behind her.
How typical,
Buffy thought, a vampire that thinks he's got what it takes to kill the
slayer has decided that 2 AM is, of course, the best time to confront me.
She had just been walking home after a particularly long night of demon
slayage, and was ready to call it a night.
She had escorted Xander and Anya to their apartment and her plan to go
straight home where Dawn was asleep and Spike (hopefully) was waiting up for
her. But no, the latest evil vampire
that thought he was worth being called a big bad was seriously interrupting her
well thought out plan.
The voice
continued, "what are you doing out at this late hour, honey? A girl walking home alone at this hour
should be careful, something bad could happen to her. Maybe you'd like some company".
Buffy was a little
surprised, most of the self proclaimed baddies, especially the ones in this
town, recognized the slayer on sight, or by smell, or whatever icky sense
demons used that said 'this is a slayer'. It was a bit of a change to get one
that hadn't a clue as to what he was in for.
Buffy smiled. This will be
easier than I thought; maybe I can have a little fun with it too.
She put a
frightened look on her face and turned around and took a few steps toward the
vampire.
"Oh, please sir," she
managed to get in a sniffle or two, "I just had a really bad night an-and I
don't know what to do…I don't want to be alone" at this point Buffy was doing
some light sobbing, trying hard to think victim like thoughts. She actually thought that she was pouring it
on a bit thick but the vampire didn't seem to notice, too eager for an easy
meal.
The vampire closed
the distance between them until he was only a few feet away. There was a smile on his face and Buffy got
the impression that he wasn't the good of an actor either. She wondered how he had been able to survive
long enough to actually learn too suppress his demon face.
"Why don't I walk
you to my place and you can tell me all about it over a cup of coffee, kay?
Inwardly, Buffy
snickered. Obviously thinks he's
going to get more than just dinner.
Guess the acting wasn't that bad,
Buff. Well, let's make sure he's
right.
"What's your name,
honey?" Her thoughts were interrupted
and she decided that this was the perfect time for an abrupt character change.
The response to
his question was not what he was expecting; or, more precisely, it was a swift
jab to his nose. The vampire made no
attempt to retaliate, apparently he was used to his quarry being the timid
quiet type. Buffy smiled wide and
bright at the stunned vampire.
"Ow!" That hadn't hurt him too bad, she hadn't hit
him with her full strength. The
response was more of a reflex.
"I usually…"Buffy kicked his
stomach. This one wasn't held back, she
wanted this to be over before he had a chance to get over the surprise and pain
and actually fight back.
"What the…ohh!" He went from
clutching at his face to hunching over in a vain attempt to protect himself
from the powerful assault.
"...try to introduce
myself..." Buffy lifted him up and hit his jaw and his nose again for good
measure, causing his nose to begin bleeding.
"...before physical intimacy
takes place,..." A swift kick to his more private vampire parts and the vampire
was kneeling at her feet.
"...but sometimes," Buffy let
out a sigh and plunged the stake into the startled vampire's chest, "there just
isn't time".
She looked on as the vampire
stared at her and exploded into its component atoms. Buffy smugly rubbed the vampire dust off her hands and continued
walking home with a rather contented smile on her face.
The End
