Discord's POV
SDC XXIX - It All Boils Down To
A Nasty Mess At The Bottom Of Your Saucepan
FUCKFUCKFUCK!
Not here, not now.
Not 'til I've had a chance to speak to Faith
and explain everything.
'Dizzy, stop panicking, Lucy won't do anything
in daylight. I'm going to say hi and try and crush her hand with my practised
"hello handshake of death". You coming?'
'Do I have a choice?'
'Not really. Come on.'
We walk out front, just as Lucy's stepping
out of the car, smoothing her dress off.
'Elle! My, my, look at you, all swanky in your
Manolo's and Chanel. Cute babe, real cute. And Discord, always nice to see
you. You mended the holes my girls made then? I wish you wouldn't kill them
all the time, they're so hard to train, minds like tea-bags, everything important
falls through. Bee, I'd like you to meet Elle and Discord, put their faces
in that memory bank of yours. So, enough bonding, I'm here to reign vengeance
on all unworthy ones! Ok, just kidding, I'm here for a latte with sprinkles,
excuse me, ladies.'
I look at Elle, and she rolls her eyes at me,
as Lucy and Bee walk into the shop.
'Why does everything have to be so complicated?
'Dizzy, if it wasn't complicated, we'd be bored
out of our minds, bulk buying thousand piece jigsaws, to stop from going insane.
Let go and have a coffee with the Slayers.'
Someone kill me, this sucks.
'Watch what you wish for Discord, Lucy
might give you your very desire.'
For Christ sake, stop listening to my thoughts!
'Oh, moody pants, someone need a nap? Come
on, I'll buy you a nice strong coffee, perk you up a bit!'
'Sorry. I'm your devoted servant, Elle. Whatever
you want.'
She links arms with me and we walk back in
the coffee shop.
Faith's POV
'Jeezus, you feel that B? It's like a whole
heap of Vamps crawled over my leathers.'
I look round, quickly, but everything looks
normal.
It's daylight anyway.
Maybe it's just me.
It's like that chill that ran over me when
I met that Elle chick, just twice as bad.
'I don't feel... woah, ok, I'm with you. What's
going on?'
'I don't know, B, but here comes Dis. Chill
out a bit, don't want to freak her ass out.'
Dis walks over with Elle, and they nab some
seats, and pull them up at our table.
There's that feeling again, like something's
crawling over my skin.
'Faith, I need to speak to you later. There's
a small problem I got to have some advice on. You up for it? Won't take long.'
Yeah, something's going down, can sense it.
'Sure. I'm gonna walk B back, and say thanks
to her mom for inviting us over for Christmas dinner. Hang at mine, I'll check
you when I get back.'
She smiles at me, 'cept her eyes keep darting
over at Elle.
God knows what's going on with the pair of
them.
Elle stares at me and wags her finger, like
she's telling me off.
What the fuck?
Yeah, we're so out of here!
'Come on B, let's split. Nice meeting you Elle.
Speak to you later Dis.'
'Bye Dis! Hi and bye Elle, I like your shoes.
I'm coming Faith, don't pull!'
'Thank you Buffy, you're a sweetheart, literally.
Bye girls, look both ways when crossing the road.'
Is some mental institution missing a patient?
I got some questions for Dis later on, that
cuz of mine has some weird friends!
Discord's POV
'Dizzy, she thinks I'm insane.'
'Look both ways when crossing the road? What
was that?'
'Oh, Buffy was going to get clipped by Lucy's
car later on. Now history's changed, see the impact one little sentence can
have? I know, I have a heart of gold, such a cross to bear. Cross to bear!
Ha, sorry, Christmas joke for you there. Where's "her hotness" then?'
I look round, but Lucy and Bee are gone, so's
her car.
Shit!
'Dizzy, take a pill, please, you're making
me nervous, in the broadest sense of the word of course. Lucy won't do anything,
she knows the rules, le calm, Dizzy, le calm. Is that even French? Could never
master that language. What do you have planned for Dawn then, or have you
not decided yet?'
You already know, you've read my mind!
'We're bonding, stop being moody.'
'I haven't planned anything, Elle. Thought
I'd take things as they come. Lucy's going to put her best into this isn't
she?'
'Her best with extra sprinkles and a side order
of sugared almonds. You should rest, you're going to have to be very focused
later on, and you know Lucy and myself aren't really allowed to intervene.
Should I get cheerleader pom-poms and shout from the side-lines?'
I start laughing at the thought of Elle in
a cheerleader skirt, doing cartwheels with Lucy.
What a freaky though.
'Isn't it? Sorry, read your mind without meaning
to do so. You've always been so receptive to me, Dis, it's almost instinct
now. Come on, let's head back to Faith's. I'll get out of your way for the
talk later on.'
The talk.
Fuck it.
Had to happen one day, Dis.
Carpe diem, Discord, carpe diem.
