Following on from It Doesn't All Suck Last line: Destiny had dealt her a solid.


Destiny had dealt her a solid pair of aces and Jenny wasn't going to pass up the opportunity. She stared provocatively across the card table at Rupert and tried to fluster him, but he drank his beer and stared back impassively - damn the man!

"Maybe we should make this hand interesting, English?"

"We have an equal amount of chips left," he said neutrally.

She slipped off her jacket to reveal more of her silk blouse.

"I'm prepared to go all in." She lent forward as she spoke and caught him looking. "And you'll have to call me to find out."

"You'd better have brought enough to share."

Dru turned around and growled as she bared her fangs at Angelus who stood staring at her. At a strangled sound from the Watcher lying tied to the bed she spun back around and in a singsong voice she whispered “Shush now my lost lamb, Mummy’s here.”

From the moment she had kissed him in pretense the stars had whispered he belonged to her and she had fought to get him back. And now she wasn’t going to share him with anyone. Not even Miss Edith. It didn’t matter how much she begged.

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?
