Combo Meal
“Richard, this food can’t be healthy,” the older woman said.
“I know it isn’t, but I like it,” Richard replied.
“Hi, I can help you,” Buffy called, plastering a fake smile to her face.
“Yes, we’ll have two of your specials.”
“We will not. I’m not eating here, Richard.” Emily Gilmore pulled her purse securely in front of her. “This place is disturbing.”
“Emily, the car is broken, Robert doesn’t know how long it will take, and you insisted on coming with me. So, you’re going to eat the hamburger and be happy with it.” Richard turned back to Buffy. “Now, - Buffy is it? - we will have two of your delightful sandwiches with two coffees and cherry pies for dessert.”
“If you get the combo you save 15 cents,” Buffy heard herself say.
“Then make those combos, please.”
“It’ll be $14.89.”
“Richard, I’m not going to eat that greasy thing,” Emily sniffed, looking beyond Buffy.
“Then you’ll simply have to starve, my dear.” Richard handed Buffy a crisp twenty. Emily huffed and stomped out the door. “You’ll have to forgive my wife. She’s been like this since the Change.”
“Sorry to hear that?”
“We all were,” Richard sighed.

Stop It
“I mean it, stop it now. You’re freaking me out,” Tonks shuddered, turning away from the younger man. He was eighteen, reasonably cute, but was too young for her tastes.
“Are you seeing anybody?” Connor leaned towards her, getting snickers out of several people in the room.
“Yes, now leave me alone.”
“She’s quite single, actually,” Charlie Weasley grinned at his old friend.
“You’re a dead man, Weasley,” she muttered. Connor sidled closer to her.
“They were supposed to fix that thing he has for older women,” Angel muttered.
“They did. Forehead Jr. got hit with a lust spell,” Spike chuckled. “Now he’s all raging hormones and randy notions.”
“Well, could one of you keep him away from me until it’s passed. I don’t particularly fancy the notion that he’s undressing me with his eyes,” Tonks snapped, slapping at Connor’s hand that was slowly working it’s way up her thigh. “If you don’t stop that I’m going to hex you until you’re blue in the -”
“Balls? Bit late for that, luv,” Spike laughed. Angel smacked him upside the head. “Oy!”
“Reflex.”
“I was gonna say face,” she said, hexing Connor.
“That was harsh,” Charlie admonished.
“And also very necessary.”

Tears Are Tears
“Are - are you okay?” Tara asked, sitting in the sand next to Claire and the baby.
“Yeah, ‘cept for all this stupid crying. I thought all these mood swings were supposed to stop after I had him.”
“Not -not right away. It’s an emotional time for you,” Tara said quietly, her finger stroking the baby’s hand. “The end of something and the beginning of something new.”
“Tears can’t just be tears?” Claire said, trying to brush them away.
“They can. Sometimes they’re more, or they need to be more. They can be healing, happy, or sad. Or just tears.”

Okay, that's about it.
