Written for: The LJ Community Open on Sunday's eating and/or food drabble challenge
Note(s): Takes place in Season 4, sometime after "Doomed," when the Scoobies have decided that Spike is harmless and turn him loose.
The kid behind the counter had no idea how close to death he might have been, if things were different. All he saw was another customer. Sunnydale had its share of odd-looking people, so this guy dressed in black, with the nice duster and the platinum hair, didn't really stand out. However, if the boy could have seen under the facade of humanity that covered the seemingly ordinary patron, he probably would have screamed like a girl and wet his pants.
Note: Spike's remark in "Becoming Part 2" about "Happy Meals with legs" brought this one on. I've always thought that phrase was pretty funny...but chipped Spike would have to settle for legless Happy Meals, wouldn't he?

But he couldn't. He plastered on a fake smile and handed Spike his order. "Here's your Happy Meal, sir."
