Two drabbles, for _beetle_ and camisha

[darkhavens]

A while ago, I succumbed to the 'Drabble my first lines' meme, and promised everyone a drabble in return. Two people have waited patiently for their reciprocal drabbles, camisha and _beetle_.



Now, _beetle_ didn't just choose a first line and write me a drabble. No, she went off and drabbled every first line I'd posted, and put them all together in a wonderful sequence here.

I know this doesn't do justice to such an epic, but today this first line produced the following scene in my head and it wouldn't go away. (100 words exactly.)

~~~~~

"Yeah, you wish."

"Damn right I do! I wish they could all see us together like this so we wouldn't have to keep skulking around and jumping apart every time we hear a bloody flea fart!"

There was a rather unpleasant lurching sensation and then a thump, as the intertwined couple fell the last few inches to the floor of the Magic Box.

The stunned silence hit them like a ton of bricks, and they slowly separated their gazes and peered around at the startled occupants of the room.

"Uh... Hi Buffy. Willow. Tara. G-man. Oz, dude! And Deadboy, Cordy..."

camisha wrote me two drabbles, here and here. She requested '"long weekend" or "days off." how about something along those lines?' (Another 100 words, cos I'm feeling strict today.)

~~~~~

Xander levered himself up and swung his legs over the side of the bed. Gods, he hurt! Every muscle in his back, legs and arms, along with others he didn't want to think about, hummed and burned and did nothing to keep him upright.

"Spike?"

"Mpfh?"

"Spike, next time there's a three day weekend, could we do something less energetic, like, oh, I don't know... run a midnight marathon? Climb a mountain? Sign up for some kind of endurance course?"

"Mpfh?"

"It's not that I didn't enjoy spending three whole days in bed with you, but it's nearly killed me!"

Nobody's ever written you anything before? Then I'm glad I'm the first, and I'm very happy you liked it.

My idea of a proper "hello" is longer than 100 words

LOL! That's pretty much what I thought when I discovered open_on_sunday. I couldn't see how anyone could squeeze a whole story/scene/idea into 100 words. So I tried it. So far I've written 186 of the things for OoS and countless others just for the fun of it. They're addictive, and the 100 word limit makes you work hard, swapping out words and phrases and trying to think of toher ways to say what needs to be said. It's a fun discipline. :o)

Yoda wrote me a drabble, Yoda wrote me a drabble... *dances off, still singing*

You always manage to make me laugh. *g* Thanks!
