It’s Catchy

TtH Prompt: #40 Birth – turned into Gifts

Summary: Christmas day.


Buffy grinned over at Dawn. Vala’s enthusiasm was definitely catchy. It had been a joy introducing her all of the Earth customs and traditions over the past few months, and Christmas was no different.

Vala had latched onto the giving and receiving of presents with a single-mindedness that had been a little scary at times. She had worked hard at finding the ‘perfect’ gift for her new family and friends, and it didn’t stop with the team.

General Landry had received a book of lesser-known quotes and Walter, the gate technician, had received the ultimate Sudoku book. How Vala had known he liked the puzzles was still a mystery. Her gifts to the team and Dawn were no different. She had somehow managed to get them each something that they immediately fell in love with, but had never thought to ask for.

Now, Vala was gaily ripping the wrapping off the presents given to her. Each squeal of joy at the revealed present got louder and higher pitched. Each giver was given a tight hug and a rain of kisses.

Vala’s childlike enthusiasm was what had been missing from Buffy’s Christmas’ over the past few years. She had been so busy with other worries that she hadn’t gotten into the full spirit of the holiday.

She fervently hoped Vala never lost the joy of the season and that she would be able to catch it again.
