Title: Just An Opinion TtH Prompt: #60 Lake Summary: Cameron notices that something is wrong. Buffy stood on a small hill overlooking a good-sized lake. On the far side, a dense forest covered the mountain. The sun shining down caused the water’s surface to sparkle and look pristine. She could see Vala following Daniel at the water’s edge as he took samples. Daniel had very excited about the current mission since it actually required exploration. He said it had been a while since he got to do actual exploring instead of combat. While he was giddy about it, the other three were mostly bored. Vala was currently taking her boredom out on her favorite target – Daniel. “Beautiful isn’t it?” Cameron asked, coming up to stand next to her. “Huh?” She asked, tensing slightly. “The lake, the sky, everything. I wonder if this is what Earth looked like before we polluted it.” “Probably,” she said, her eyes sweeping the area. Just because there had been no evidence of people living there, it didn’t mean there weren’t. There could be an alien lake monster lurking about for all anyone knew. “What’s wrong?” “Nothing, why?” “You’ve just been acting strange since that night we all went out,” he said, looking over at her. He could see her jaw tense and then relax. “Have I?” “Yeah, and I think it’s something I said or did because you still act the same around Vala and Jackson,” he said, moving to stand in front of her. “If I did and whatever it was offended you, I’m sorry.” She sighed. “You just said I was beautiful and it just took me by surprise.” “Oh,” he grinned. “But you are beautiful, you know that right?” “Cam…” “Buffy, it’s just an opinion, it doesn’t mean anything else. Hell, even Vala is beautiful when her mouth is shut, Jackson is good looking… Can we just forget I said that?” He asked, squirming slightly. She laughed at his discomfort. “For now.” “Forever please?” “Fine. But I get what you’re saying,” she said, dropping her gaze to her feet. “So, we’re cool?” “We’re cool.” “Great. Game night at my house on Friday. No alcohol this time,” he promised, as he headed down towards Daniel and Vala. Previous Chapter Buffygate Menu Next Chapter |
