Two drabbles for [livejournal.com profile] open_on_sunday's prompt "Key".

Missing

They let Giles collect Jenny's personal effects when they release the body. $37 in cash, a few protective charms, a picture of (he assumes) her family, and a keychain.

Over the next few days of Arranging Things, he gets to use her keys. There's two for the double locks on her door, a master key for the school, a car key, a couple for various boxes … And an old iron key that doesn't fit anywhere.

He keeps the key for years, but never figures out what it opens. Whatever it is, it'll stay locked forever, removed from the world.



A Minor Misunderstanding

High above Sunnydale, Doc flashed his knife and grinned at Dawn. "Hey, kid? Wanna see a trick?" Dawn, understandably, screamed.

Doc quickly pulled out a small device, checked it, and shouted to Glory's minions below, "C SHARP!"

"…What?" Dawn stared at him.

Doc held up a digital guitar tuner. "You scream in C sharp," he smiled. "That's all we needed for the chant to send Glorificus home."

"Aren't you going to bleed me?"

He frowned. "Do you want me to?"

Dawn shook her head.

"Good. We've tried to tell your sister for months, all we needed was the right key."

Love them both - the second one is awesomely silly, the first is just very sad.

LOL - *shakes head* If only Buffy had listened.... Oh wait, that sounds too much like comic-Angel.

The first is rather poignant, but "Good. We've tried to tell your sister for months, all we needed was the right key." is just wonderful!

Thanks! The whole Key business really calls for bad puns...

Going straight for the heart, and then straight for the humerus.

I laughed my head off over A Minor Misunderstanding. Loved it!! Our Buffy, so gung-ho with the kicking ass and protecting Dawn. Ha Ha!
