The Challenge: It can be any genre. It must have humorous aspects although you're welcome to write a darker story if you choose. It must include only two characters. One of these characters must be non-human. (An animal, a vegetable, a mineral, a non-mortal being {i.e. Deity, vampire, ghost, be creative}) Must include a non-stereotypical setting. (If it's an animal, it can't be a bright sunny day, if it's a ghost, it can't be a dark stormy night, that sort of thing.) Must include a reference to some sort of popular entertainment.

Cordelia was close to screaming. It was dark, it was wet and it was ruining her last season's, but newly brought, Donna Karan shoes!
"Angel, why don't you just admit that we're lost?"
Cordelia felt more than heard the semi-growl that came from the vampire. "We are not lost."
"Yes we are!" Cordy replied trying hard not to trip on anything in the dark.
"No, were not."
"Yes, we are."
"No, were not."
Cordelia sighed exasperated. "When was the last time you saw a cave in L.A?"
"Last week the Gorlarb demon in your vision lived in a cave," Angel answered easily.
"Okay," Cordelia conceded, "Let me rephrase my question. When was the last time you saw a cave in Hollywood?!"
"Universal Studios."
Cordelia tried to look at the vampire's face in the dark. "You've been to Universal Studios?"
"Well I didn't take the tour," Angel admitted somewhat sheepishly.
"You broke in?"
"There was a demon what was I supposed to do?"
"Whatever, were still lost." Cordelia walked on barely keeping herself from tripping on a- she wasn't entirely sure what it was since it was so dark, but it was something.
"No, we're not," Angel repeated.
"Oh, don't start with me," Cordelia practically snarled.
"Lets just keep on walking"
"We've been 'keeping on walking' for hours" Cordelia foot landed on something incredibly wet and incredibly icky. "When we get out of here you are so dead!" Angel was about to comment but Cordy beat him to it. "Dead-er!"
Angel chose not to comment and risk more of her wrath and just kept on walking. After a few more minutes a very audible squish sound was heard, making a smug smile find its way on Cordelia's face.
"Cordy?"
"What?"
"You have your cell with you, don't you?"
Cordelia shook her head, taking her cell form her pocket. "You and your vampire pride. You better hope Gunn and Wes gets us out of here before Gilmore Girls is on!"
End.
