CTVS LIVING IT UP

-Ring

-Hey Harmony, it's Cordelia.

-No, got stuck on patrol duty. Giles found out I let a vampire get away. It wasn't even my fault! I was wearing high heels, you know, the really expensive Gucci ones? Well the vamp just runs into a cemetery, and there is no way in hell I'm following in these shoes. I just know they'll get broken. You'd think that Giles would be understanding, but nooo. I get a way long lecture on priorities yadda yadda appropriate footwear. Appropriate footwear! That's rich coming from a man who dresses from the same era as his books.

-Oh I had another run in with Spike on Halloween, the one where everyone stupid enough to buy a costume from a downmarket shop got turned into their costume. You just can't help some people. And I don't even want to imagine what Xander and Buffy got up to with the Romeo and Juliet costumes.

-What? You got gossip about them? Spill.

-Buffy did THAT! In Xander's CAR! Okay making eww face now.

-Getting away as far as away as I can from that mental image, Spike broke into my house! Fortunately my parents were out socialising with some rich old client. Anyway I didn't have a weapon so I ran to the kitchen, where's lots of sharp pointy things. So I pick something up and face Spike and point it at him. He says. "Cordelia that's broccoli, that wouldn't work even if you sharpen it." I said. "Depends where I shove it." Well we had a big fight. Short version I won, he ran, big mess in home. I had to miss the Bronze Halloween party cause I had to clean the house. Spike is so evil he makes me miss parties! How'd he get in without an invitation? Complete mystery, I'll let the librarian work it out.

-Oh our Filipino maid disappeared, and we can't do anything about it as she's an illegal. We take her into this country and our home and how does she repay us? By running off. What? When did I last see her? Halloween.

-The costumes thing? Actually that sorted itself out unlike Willow's hair. I actually went to Giles for an explanation. About the costumes not Willow's hair. Not even Stephen Hawking could explain that. Well anyway I spoke to Giles, expecting one of those big explanations he so loves. Instead he goes quiet on me. Say….. You don't think he was behind it do you? It fits, he knows all those bizarro rituals and he hates youth culture… Well gotta run!

AUTHOR'S NOTE

Ah dear Cordy, how I miss thee on BTVS. For my next CTVS fic I'm actually considering killing a major character off. Those who know me can probably guess who! *LOL* It won't be for a while though as I'm more of a Spike fic writer and I have several projects on the go.
