For open_on_sunday's prompt "Sale."

Stylish, Yet Affordable

"Yup, that's definitely you," the saleswoman beams.

Buffy sighs and checks the price tag on the jacket for the fifth time. "I guess I'm too much for me to handle." She looks away from the mirror as she takes the jacket off; it snags on her Doublemeat Palace name tag.

"Oh, I forgot to mention, this one's on sale. 50% off."

"Really? I -"

"Really."

"Look, I'll be honest with you. I can't really afford a new jacket at all, I just wanted to -"

The saleswoman looks her in the eye. "My son graduated from Sunnydale High. Just take the jacket."

That is so nice. It made me smile, and tear up a little (but to be fair, I just watched Casablanca, so I'm very emotional. Vive la France!). With all the terrible stuff going on with season 6 Buffy, I feel like a little something like that would just make her week.

Well, let's hope so. Thanks!
