Author's Notes: This doesn't really have a seting. Angel and
Spike are both in Sunny D and both with souls. Buffy
and Faith are together and this is my lame attempt at
humour and a responce to the challenge.
Buffy and Faith walked along their usual patrol spots but tonight was a no go in the slaying department.
“Damn B, this is wicked boring, you wanna go back to your house where we can make our own fun,” Faith wriggled her eyebrows suggestively.
“That’d be great babe, but I promised to stop by Angel’s. He said he had something really important to show me,” Buffy said.
“Alright, but after we get back can we make our own fun?”
“You betcha babe! Lots of fun,” Buffy gave her a wicked smile, hooking her finger through one of Faith’s belt loops and pulling her into a passionate kiss with a promise of a long fun filled night.
Faith smiled at her girlfriend when they broke apart, happy with the arrangement.
When they got to Angel’s mansion, they would have thought he was throwing a keg party if they didn’t know better. There was loud music playing and there was something that was making the mansion more homey, but neither slayer could put their finger on it.
They walked into the mansion to see Spike and Angel sitting around a game of monopoly.
“Hey, what’s Captain Peroxide doing here?” Faith inquired.
“What does it look like I’m doing?” He asked in sarcasm, as if it was the most obvious thing.
“Playing monopoly…” Buffy said unsurely, ”Why are you playing monopoly?”
“Well….” He began, “It’s along story but we’re playing for the can of Coke in the fridge.”
“Right….Ok, someone better explain this to me right this second. First, Angel what was the big disaster you needed me for, second, why does this place suddenly resemble a college dorm room on a Friday night after finals, third, why is Spike here and why are you playing for a can of coke, you’re still vampires the last time I checked and you drink blood, not coke.” Buffy rambled.
Angel, not taking his eyes off the game board answered, “There was no disaster I just got this whole mansion carpeted, doesn’t it look great! Oh, and I wanted to show it to you. Spike stopped by and offered to help me through a carpet warming party, you know to welcome the new carpet and seeing as I’m socially not very social, well…you see where I’m going with this.”
“And the coke?”
“Well, it adds more flavor, I mean you guys have all sorts of food you can enjoy, lots of textures and flavors and what do we have? Blood! That’s it! It comes in one flavor, one texture and mostly one color. Gets boring so we combine it with human food.”
“Yes!” Spike shouted.
“No…” Angel moaned. Buffy and Faith looked at the game and realized that Spike had won the game.
“I have your streets, your hotels and your can of coke,” Spike howled.
Angel slumped his shoulders and went over to the fridge.
The song on the radio changed to "A Girl Like You" by Edwin Collins and Spike shot a fist in the air. “Oh, yeah baby I love this song.”
I've never known a girl like you before I'll just like any song from days of you He coming knocking out there on my door Well I've never met a girl like you before Give me just a taste so I want more Now my hands are bleeding and my knees are raw `Cause now you got me crawling, crawling on the floor I've never known a girl like you before Wave me a college The devil in me
Angel padded across the room to give Spike the coke. Spike stood shaking the can as well as his bootie. He moved to open the can, as everyone shouted, “NO!” But it was too late, the ring around the can had been removed and due to the shaking of the can the coke spilled over Angel’s brand new carpet.
“Nooooooooooooo,” he howled as his face morphed into that of an angry vampire.
He moved to punch Spike but instead hit the coffee table.
“AAARRRGGG,” he yelped, his face shifted back to human form.
He stuck his thumb into his mouth and began to suck on it.
Everyone stared at him confused. Angel stopped sucking and looked up.
“What! Look at my finger I’ve got a splinter and it hurts! It could have gone through my heart! It could have died! Somebody get it out! Get it out!”
Buffy shook her head and walked over to him, taking his hand into hers.
“Be careful it really hurts,” Angel sulked.
“Urgh, you’re such a big baby sometimes.”
“Yeah well I don’t see a splinter in your finger. You have no idea what it’s like having a splinter when you’re a vampire! You try going through this and then we’ll see who the baby is,” he answered defensively.
Buffy shook her head and examined the wound. She then nodded. “I’m going to need tweezers, some cleansing lotion and a bandaid, stack!”
Spike scrambled around the apartment, obviously feeling guilty for spilling the coke which caused Angel to get angry and break his table and get a splinter.
“There you go,” Buffy said once she’d fixed his thumb, “Now that’s going to need to be changed every two hours, try to keep it out of water and make sure it gets lots of love and care.”
Angel nodded as he sucked on his blood-flavoured pop sickle, which Buffy gave his as a reward for being a good patient.
“B,” Faith asked, “If soul boy is all fixed, can we please leave, coz I want some love and care too.”
Buffy totally forgetting about Angel, walked over to her girlfriend and they both left a sulking Angel and a guilty Spike, who was really beginning to understand how much having a soul and actually caring sucked, behind.
They finally made it to Buffy’s room. Faith was lying on the bed and singing something that went like, “I’ve never known a girl like you before.”
“Whatcha singing babe?”
“That song that was on the radio at Angel’s. You know what?”
“What?”
“I’ve really never known a girl like you before.”
Buffy smiled and pulled Faith into a passionate kiss.
“I love you Faith.”
“I love you too, B.”
