Fic: Giggle
In the midst of writing my piece for SeasonalSpuffy - this came out. It has nothing to do with what I actually wrote, so for now it is a drabble just for your reading pleasure:::
Title: Giggle
Medium: Fic
Setting: post-NFA... somewhere (part of my Dawn-AU)
Pairing: Spuffy
Buffy giggles.
That's the first clue that something is amiss. All the girls in the training room grow slightly quieter, but not to the point that she notices. The infamous "She" ----
The Girl Who Died.
And she's right there in the room with them, staring down at her cellphone like any of them would do - giggling at something flashing on the screen as if she was any other 20-something girl. Only she's not. She's their leader. The hope for most of them that they will make it past their eighteenth birthday.
She's not usually State-side, rumors circulate about her top-secret mission somewhere in India (Germany? Egypt? South Africa?) that are always hushed quickly by the Watchers or the older girls. But today, just for today, here she is. With the youngest of the recruits... standing in the middle of the training room giggling and blushing at her phone ----
And just for a brief moment, She is just another 20-something girl.... txting.
