Title: Partners in Pranking
Author: lovnvanilla
Pairing: Faith/Tonks
Word Count: 462
Prompt: 36- Caught
Author's Notes: This is going to be part of a larger universe. Eventually I'm going to get to writing how they got together. I'll also come up with a master list of the order that all the ficlets will go in. In the meantime, Faith and Tonks are together. Set post-HP book 7 and post-Chosen. I never watched any episodes of Angel that didn't have Faith in them so I have no idea what went on in the Buffy/Angel-verse after Chosen.
Summary: Faith has become amused by practical jokes. Tonks has introduced her to the Weasley twins. Chaos ensues.
She should have known better really. Faith, who was finally getting tohave a bit of a normal life, with family types around, had begun to display something that could really only be called a fascination with practical jokes. She’d seen her get Buffy with a whoopee cushion (and had agreed that she’d deserved it), Andrew with a joy buzzer(repeatedly), and then Giles with the old shoe polish around the telescope lens trick.
Yes it was immature. But he really should have seen it coming. Think about it. Faith asking if the alignment of the moons of Saturn was a sign of the… sorry, an apocalypse? He was so asking for it.
So when Faith finally convinced her that it was time to go back and face her demons in England, Tonks asked her to come along.
She also introduced Faith to the Weasley twins.
The result? A surprisingly quiet week after their return to Cleveland.
Secure in the knowledge that Faith could keep herself out of trouble for the 20 minutes it would take Tonks to go pick up Chinese food. The former auror ran out to get the order and returned to find Buffy screaming about swamp gunk on her new Prada heels, Willow molting in a corner, Giles attempting to protect a bookcase from the fireworks that were zooming around the room and Xander’s tongue dragging the ground behind him as he chased a gaily laughing Faith who was carrying something that looked suspiciously like Colin Creevey’s camera.
“Save me babe,” Faith begged as she dove behind Tonks and the profusion of take-out.
Xander, assuming Tonks would punish her wayward girlfriend, and exhausted from dragging around the extra weight of a 12-foot long tongue collapsed on the floor. Tonks calmly put down the take-out, put Xander to rights, canceled the fireworks, and levitated Buffy out of the swamp.
By this point Faith was nervous about the look on her girlfriend’s face. “Babe. I’m sorry.”
“Let’s talk about this in our room,” Tonks replied leading the way down the hall and up the stairs.
She made it to the room before she burst out laughing. Faith looked shocked.
“All of them at once? Brilliant! You have to write Fred and George and tell them. They’ll be delighted to have a partner in pranking on this side of the pond.”
Faith smiled in relief. She wasn’t in trouble after all. She also had plenty of tricks left from the twins and that nifty camera that Harry had paid her to steal from that twitchy little Creepy kid.
Almost as if she were reading Faith’s mind Tonks continued. “But beautiful, if that’s Colin’s camera you have to give it back.”
Faith sighed. “Fine, but only after I get the pictures developed.”
