Drabble

Sigh. You know how sometimes you come up with one line of dialogue that's so perfect it triggers an entire fic, only by the time the fic starts to take shape you realise that the perfect line of dialogue doesn't actually fit and now you'll never get to use it...? Damnit.

Anyway, moving on. This week's prompt at [livejournal.com profile] open_on_sunday is "Holiday travel."

Soccer Mom To The Undead
"School Hard"

"Rock beats scissors. You get to perform the sacred duuuu-ty," Lisa singsonged.

Betty sighed. "Two out of three?"

"No way."

"I thought I was done with this when I became a vampire."

"Now, now. Driving our 'great' leader around town so he can feed before the ritual is an honor."

"Why can't he just walk?"

Lisa chuckled. "Because he's the Anointed One. Duh. I'm surprised you're not more grateful. The rest of us will have to spend all night eating high school kids. I'm sure your evening will be much more fun."

Betty really hated the Feast of St Vigeous.

Hee! Clever cookie offered.

And -You know how sometimes you come up with one line of dialogue that's so perfect it triggers an entire fic, only by the time the fic starts to take shape you realise that the perfect line of dialogue doesn't actually fit and now you'll never get to use it.. I can so feel your pain! Been there, done that - more than once. :)

I can so feel your pain!

I thought I wouldn't be the only one. :-)

Great drabble. What happened to poor old Betty once the Annoying One was dust?

Well, she got him home in time for bed, and Spike didn't dust him until the next day. I think she shows up briefly at Drusilla's party in "Surprise." :-) Thanks!

Yes, I have had that sad dialogue experience before!
