A/N: Written for Malana's TTH "20 minutes in Smallville" Challange.

Disclaimes: If I have to actually write one, then 'duh' I don't own anything!

Damn.
Damn that stupid Xander and his "hey-we-just-saved-the-whole-freaking-planet-so-we-should-go-explore-it-while-we-look-for-new-slayers" road trip. The whole thing had been his fault.

Of all the boring places to end up, why did they have to come to Smallville? All there was in that place was farms, some funky weird mystic rocks that Willow said may have been used in the creation of The Key, and a few people with wacky powers. That, and two new Slayers she had to collect.

Lana and Chloe were going to be her first assignments as an offical Watcher.

She had straitened the royal blue peasant top she had gotten in Italy and brushed off the road dust from her shoulder. Finding that Summers' confidance that rolled off in waves that would knock most C.E.O.'s off their feet, she had walked determindly into the local coffee shop.

Right smack into the owner of the most dreamy blue eyes. In the confusion of his three spilt iced mochas and the tangle of legs, her hand brushed his.

She pulled her hand away the instant she noticed him gasping for breath, noticed the veines on his beautiful face become instantly more pronounced. This didn't scare her in the slighest, after all, living on a hellmouth, you see stranger things than accidently sucking the lifeforce out of someone all the time. What scared her, what sent her running out the door, was the strangled words that dripped from his tightly drawn lips...

"Why do all the pretty ones have to be made of green?"
