Title: Skin Problem
Fandom: BtVS
Characters: Buffy, Cordelia
Prompt: #005 Outsides
Word Count: 100
Rating: G
"Ew! Haven’t you ever heard of skin cream?” Cordelia shrieked at the scaly demon in front of them. They had caught it in the process of losing its skin and clumps of grey matter hung off its thin body.
Cordelia had decided that lecturing the demon on the use of skin cream was much more important to killing it and wasn’t being particularly helpful.
“Would you just shut up for a minute and let me kill this thing?” Buffy yelled at her, exasperated.
“But, it’s insides! They’re on the outside!” Cordelia babbled uselessly, pointing at the demon.
“Yeah, I noticed!”
Title: Deceitful

“You didn’t just make this up, did you?” Buffy glowered at Spike and continued on through the Shady Hill cemetery with the vampire by her side.
“No!” Spike protested. “Course not! Why would I make it up?” He hurried to catch up to the Slayer, who had increased her gait.
“I take it you’ve forgotten about our last experience?” Buffy reminded. She rolled her eyes at him and replayed it in her mind. Spike had admitted that he liked her and in the process had completely grossed her out.
Sighing wearily, Buffy turned to him.
“It’s been hours. I’m leaving.”
Title: Deserted

Characters: Buffy, Giles
Prompt: #007 Days
Word Count: 100
Rating: G
Warm tendrils of sunshine snaked its way down the sky and fiercely caressed her back. The sand was hot under her bare feet and she moved quickly to ease the burning.
She was beginning to lose all hope.
Finding cover from the sun behind an outcrop of rock, Buffy slumped to the ground. She stared out at the desert, the place she was quite sure she was going to die.
Then, she saw the car. Pulling herself to her feet, she staggered down towards it, waving madly. It slowed to a stop and Giles walked over.
“Buffy! It’s been days!”
Title: Return
Fandom: BtVS
Characters: Xander, Willow, mention of Cordelia and Buffy
Prompt: #008 Weeks
Word Count: 100
Rating: PG
“How long is she going to be away for, again?” Xander called to Willow as he narrowly missed being knocked out by a newly-made vampire.
“Who, Buffy?” came the reply.
Xander rolled his eyes and ducked as the vampire came for him again, “Yeah. Who else would I be talking about?”
Willow shrugged, a little embarrassed. “Well…uh…Cordelia?” she threw back.
Xander groaned. “Don’t start that again!”
“You’re the one who started it, mister! With all the smoochies in the broom closet, remember?”
“Ha ha. Funny,” Xander retorted. “So, when is Buffy back?” The vampire dusted, he turned around.
“Next week.”
Title: Fresh Start
Fandom: BtVS
Characters: Buffy
Prompt: #009 Months
Word Count: 100
Rating: PG
Months had passed since the Hellmouth on the Sunnydale High campus had been closed. All that remained were the scorched items that had somehow managed to survive through the ordeal.
Buffy stared out across the landmark where her town used to be. Despite the long period of time that it had taken to salvage what had been left behind, no plans of rebuilding Sunnydale had arisen and for that, the Slayer was glad.
They had all been given a fresh start. Sunnydale was a place of the past and it was best left forgotten. Buffy turned and walked away, smiling.
Title: The Other Slayers
Fandom: BtVS
Characters: Buffy, Spike
Prompt: #010 Years
Word Count: 100
Rating: PG
Buffy listened as Spike relived his gruesome victories against previous Slayers from years earlier. A glint of pride sparked in his eyes as he explained how they fell. Buffy was somewhat unsettled by his obvious pleasure on the matter.
“You’re really enjoying this, aren’t you?” she noted.
Spike paused and glanced up at her. “…I don’t like to brag or anything,” he started. “Oh hell, I love to brag!”
“I’ll take that as a ‘yes’,” Buffy said, rolling her eyes.
“What’s wrong with that?” Spike asked defensively.
“You’re talking about killing people. And enjoying it. Psycho murderer, much?”
“Oh. Right.”
