Drabble - "Happy Meals with Legs"

I was planning to post chapter 2 of The Heat Death of the Universe, but that didn't work out. I apologize.

Instead, I have a drabble.

Happy Meals With Legs

“Well they’re not biting me!”

“Of course they’re not biting you! They only bite humans.”

“So they’ve got good taste.”

“Spike!”

“What? We’ve got things in common.”

“Yeah, well you’re not biting me again until they are all dead.”

“I wonder if Slayer’s blood tastes better to them?”

“Whatever. They’re about to learn that messing with the Slayer was a bad idea.”

“They’re a bit small to be staked.”

“That’s why we are calling the exterminator.”

“They don’t even get a fair fight. Poor buggers.”

“Spike, I swear, if you start feeling sorry for the bedbugs, I WILL stake you.”

Brilliantly done!

A wonderful transition from biting demons to biting bugs with some classic Spike and Buffy snark. :D

Thank you!

Bwaa-haa-haa!!

I did not see the bedbugs coming; perfect! And I needed a laugh this morning. :D

[green-maia.livejournal.com]

I'm glad it made you laugh!

A pest worse than vampires! Hee! Well done. :-)

Thank you!

Also: fleas, mosquitoes, lice...

If Spike knows what's good for him, and I suspect he does, he'd better figure out a way to keep Buffy unbitten. Sleep tight!

I love it! Especially the punchline, but I adore the idea of Spike's fellow-feeling for other bloodsuckers.

[green-maia.livejournal.com]

Hee!

I was going to guess chiggers. Great Spike snark. Of course the bugs want Slayer blood: doesn't everybody? I love the idea of him patiently staking each bug (with a toothpick?), in defense of his Slayer.

I'm a New Yorker - it could only be bedbugs. They're a collective obsession in this city, for good reason - they're taking over! I got the idea for this from a New Yorker cartoon a few weeks ago where there's a vampire sitting next to a woman's bed and she's covered with bedbug bites and she says to the vampire, "Sorry, the bedbugs got here first." They really are like little vampires, too - they hide during the day, come out at night, and stay away from light...

Bwahaha! At first I thought "they" were mosquitos... :)))))
