Award+drabble

[beer_good_foamy]

Yeeee-haaa! The Serenity on the Hellmouth Awards announced the winners of round 5, and my fic Mission Accomplished picked up another award. Huge thanks to everyone involved, and congrats to the other winners on my flist!


Also, here's a drabble for the open_on_sunday prompt "teach/teacher".

Jitters


4AM. Five hours before the Slayer Academy opens, Robin finds Faith drinking beer in the kitchen. He grabs two more from the fridge, sits down and waits.

"Last time I set foot in a classroom I was 15," she says finally. "B's insane."

"You're a fight instructor. I don't think she's expecting you to teach algebra."

"Yeah, but... Me as an authority figure? I'm not sure I can even spell 'unqualified'."

"I once hired Buffy to counsel kids with emotional problems."

Faith frowns. "Huh."

"Most of them survived, too." He takes another sip. "Are you coming back to bed?"

"Yeah."

Congratulations!

And you made me laugh:

"I once hired Buffy to counsel kids with emotional problems."

Faith frowns. "Huh."

LOL, that's about what I thought, too.

Terrific. Buffy and Faith, two greatest mentors of youth... :)

Always made me go 'huh' too!

Robin never let Faith get away with too much emo without cracking some kind of halfway decent joke.

Well bowled, sir.

Congratulations!

Are you coming back to bed?

I LOLed.
I don't know whether it got me because I wasn't expecting it, or because of the idea of drinking beer at 4AM -- and then going back to bed.

What the hey, I'm weird. ;D

That was very smart of Robin, to tell that particular story on himself.
