Fic: Show Me (Buffy, 340 words, PG-13)

[peroxidepirate]

OMG, I actually wrote a fic!! Ok, it's 300-odd words of total crack, and it wasn't even my idea in the first place. But, technically speaking, I wrote a fic! It's been a while. Enjoy.

Title: Show Me
Rating: PG-13
Fandom: Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Disclaimer: Just playing, no profit. I don't own these characters, this universe, or anything else of value.
Characters: Faith, Dawn, Other
Summary: Short (340-ish words), crack-y, S7 ficlet inspired by ladyofthelog 's Rocket Launchers and Time Travel and All That Shit, stormwreath 's Buffy's Little Secret and angearia 's Girls Just Wanna Have Fun. I hope it's entertaining even if you already know how it ends.

Dawn rushed into the bedroom. "Buffy, have you seen my--" She froze, eyes wide, staring at the tableau before her.

Faith crouched on the floor of Buffy's room, face flushed, mouth slightly open. Her hands were busy between her knees, adjusting the settings on a huge, industrial-quality--

"Faith, is that what I think it is?"

Faith started, seeming to notice Dawn for the first time. Then she grinned. "Sure is, little sis." She ran her fingers over the item's length. "What do you think?"

Dawn blinked. "Where did you get it? And why are you playing with it here?"

"Can't have the baby slayers clamoring for a turn," Faith shrugged. "Not enough to go around."

"But why--?"

"It's Buffy's."

"What!?"

"Oh, yeah. She told me Xander got it for her. Right after Angel went over to the dark side? She needed something..."

Mouth falling open, Dawn brought her hand to her forehead. "I think I need to sit down," she whispered, dropping onto the bed. "Xander?"

Faith flashed that grin again. "Boy's worth a little more than meets the eye. He showed her how to use it, too." She tossed her hair back over her shoulder. "Course, I'm such a hands on girl, I just kinda figured it out on my own."

"You would," Dawn muttered. Then a calculating look came over her face. "Buffy doesn't know you're... borrowing... it, does she?"

"What's it to you?"

"I promise not to tell her... if you let me have a turn."

Faith laughed. "You're all right, kid." She lifted one hand, resting it on Dawn's knee. "You want me to leave you alone with it? Or you wanna do this together?"

Dawn gulped, staring at Faith's -- actually, Buffy's -- toy with a combination of excitement and fear. "You're some kind of expert by now, right?"

Eyes shining with excitement, Faith very slowly licked her lips. "You want the full tutorial? Stay home from school and..?"

Dawn looked her in the eye. "Yes. Show me exactly how to use a rocket launcher."

*SQUEE* I love the banner! Will appropriately attach it to the fic just as soon as I can focus enough to figure out how. :)
