Title: Nyctophobia, or When Buffy met Damon
Author: Tempest
Disclaimer: I don't own any characters recognizable from Vampire Diaries or Buffy the Vampire Slayer. They belong to L.J. Smith and Joss Whedon respectively. I make no money off these works. No copyright infringement intended.
Author's Notes: I guess I should explain what a drabble is for those who don't know. A drabble is a story written in 100 words – a little more or a little less. I consider any story that's around 200 words a double drabble and anything more than that (1000 words max for me) an evolved drabble. Those are just my own rules. You approach it how you see fit. I may write more of these.

"What kind of psycho girl goes around introducing herself as Buffy the vampire slayer?" he asked her, eyeing the blonde girl with obvious disdain edged with a hit of irritation.

"What kind of psycho vampire refuses to die when the sun comes up?" she shot back at him, gripping the stake in her hand.

"I don't think I get your drift," he smirked at her.

She rolled her eyes at him. "You must have slept through Vampire Slaying 101. Let me clue you in. This is the part where you die because that's what vampires do when the sun hits them."

Damon looked thoughtful for a moment before saying, "Funny, a vampire hunter in St. Louis told me the same thing last week, but she didn't say it quite so eloquently." He raised an eyebrow at her.

"Are you mocking me?"
