#010 - Translating Buffy
title: Translating Buffy
word count: 200
fandom: Stargate SG-1
challenge: #010 - vacation
summary: Buffy and Daniel have a minor argument.
disclaimer: The words are mine; the worlds are not. I claim nothing but the plot.
notes: 4th in my drabble series about a relationship between the frequently dead.
"Those three months I spent on P4T-3G6..." Daniel began.
"Don't count; you had amnesia." Buffy shook her head.
"The three weeks the team spent on P4X-347..." he tried again. Hadn't that been more vacation than mission? SG-1 had only stayed there for medical reasons.
"You mean the killer lightbulb planet?" She raised her eyebrows. "Besides, going through the gate is by definition part of our job."
Well, that eliminated Abydos. "There was that time Sam and I went to Chicago and then Egypt..." Daniel was grasping at straws.
"Chasing Osiris?" Buffy stared at him in disbelief.
Daniel winced, then sighed. "Okay, okay. So I haven't been on a real vacation since I started working here. Is that what you wanted me to say?"
She rolled her eyes, then reached for his lapels and tugged him closer. "No, what I wanted you to say was, 'You know, it has been awhile. How does Hawaii sound?'"
He blinked at her, then grinned and wrapped his arms around her small frame. "Another note for my Buffy translation journal: 'So when was the last time' is a hint, not a question." Then he repeated her words back to her.
Buffy smiled. "It sounds great."
