[TBS] Prompt 2.1E.7 - To boldly go
To boldly go where no man has gone before.
"I can't believe I'm doing this." Buffy muttered under her breath as she followed Andrew. How had this happened? Okay, she knew how since she'd drawn the short stick but she didn't know how. What was the point of having like a million slayers if it's not to make them do stuff you don't want to do? It should be a law.
"You look great." Andrew practically beamed at Buffy. "You did a really good job on your makeup."
Buffy made a non-committal growl to his statement. Heads were going to roll over this and maybe not just the demon ones she was there stop.
"I'm so excited! This is the first one I've been to."
She whipped her head around and looked at him in anger. "What?! I thought you said that you'd be the perfect one to go because you'd been to a lot of these in California."
Oblivious to her anger, Andrew nodded. "Yeah I did. I just meant here. I haven't been to one here or this big. This is huge. Do you know how rare it is to have all the captains of the Enterprise to be here? And it's not just Star Trek, there's Andromeda and the other Gene Roddenberry stuff."
Buffy perked up a bit. Maybe it wasn't so bad. "Yeah? Harrison Ford going to be here?" Sure he was old but he was Han Solo. Seriously, she could overlook him being like a hundred and looking like crap for Han Solo.
He let out an aggrieved sigh. "That's Star Wars not Star Trek."
The day just got longer for Buffy and if the demons didn't show up within the first ten minutes she was going to hunt them out.
"I figure the demons will be able to blend in for the costume part. That's why I talked Mr. Giles into entering us."
Buffy stopped walking and stared after Andrew. Oh Giles was going to pay and pay big for this. "I'm sorry, did you say we're entered in the contest? Giles told me it was to blend in to the stupid convention."
"Yes to blend in for the contest." Andrew couldn't understand why Buffy was so confused.
She took a deep calming breath. There were demons to find and behead before any innocents got hurt. "So what am I supposed to be?"
Before Andrew could answer a towering 'thing' came toward her holding a weapon. "nuqneH"
Buffy raised her sword and got into fighting stance at the same instant that Andrew yelled, "No! Buffy!"
The man dressed in the Klingon outfit smiled, "Man, you're good. Where'd you get that sword? Looks real."
Her muscles unclinched and she made a solemn vow that Giles owed her big. Shopping trip, no expense spared, big for this. It was going to be a very long night.
