Title: What Do You Know About… 73/100 TtH Prompt: #5 Pets Summary: Vala asks a series of questions. What Do You Know About… “What do you know about dogs?” Vala asked. Buffy turned her attention away from the television to stare at her friend in confusion. “What?” “Dogs. What do you know about them?” “Depends on what kind of dog you’re talking about,” Buffy said slowly. “Just in general,” Vala said, waving her hand around in a vague gesture. “Not much – some like to chew on things, others drool, loud barks, you have to walk them. Why?” “No reason,” Vala said with a smile. Buffy gave her a look that clearly said she didn’t believe her, but turned back to the television. After a few minutes, Vala asked, “What do you know about cats?” “Other than they’re picky, they scratch up the furniture, and cough up hairballs, nothing. Why?” Buffy replied with a frown. “Just wondering.” “Why?” Buffy repeated. “What about hamsters?” “Glorified mice. What’s this all about?” Vala flushed slightly causing Buffy some concern because it definitely wasn’t a typical reaction for her friend. “I heard some people on the base talking about pets, and I thought it might be nice to get one.” Buffy sighed. “Pets take a lot of work and we’re gone so much. It wouldn’t be fair to the animal.” “I know, it’s just… I don’t know,” Vala said with a slight shrug. “We could get fish,” Buffy suggested. “Fish?” Vala asked. “Yeah, You can get a bunch of different kinds and decorate the tank. Plus, you can get these things to feed them while you’re gone.” “Really?” “Really.” “Any kind I want?” Buffy grinned. “Any kind you want.” “Can we go now?” “It’s after nine at night. All the stores are close,” Buffy pointed out. “How about tomorrow?” “Sure.” Previous Chapter Buffygate Menu Next Chapter |
