A/N: written for giles_shorts for the last line Maybe things would work out okay after all.


Maybe things would work out okay after all. The Master was dead, the Hellmouth lay silent once more and Buffy was on the way back to being her old self again. A relieved smile flitted at the corners of his mouth. Far be it for him to jinx it but he could dare say things were starting to look up.

“Giles, you have got to come quick. You are not going to believe this!”

Bloody hell! “Weapons?”

Xander nodded his head and followed Giles to the weapons locker. “Big ones.”

When was he going to learn to stop tempting fate?

Such a perfectly captured moment and so true to the characters. I could see this little beat actually happening on the show. Fantastic work!

The Hellmouth has a certain penchant for stacking the odds against our heroes, doesn't it?

And I gotta agree with Quaggy. I can see this scene inserted into the show somewhere. :)

[angelus2hot]

Yes, it does.

Thank you very much! :D
