Advent Drabble Challenge: Drabble: Choices (PG, Buffy,Giles)

It's been far too long since we've played First Line Last Drabbles. So let's countdown to Christmas and cheer what has been an extraordinary year.

Basic rules:
1. Drabbles are 100 words (although cheating is slightly allowed - especially by me)
2. The first line of a drabble must begin with the last line of a previous drabble
3. Otherwise no continuity is expected
3. Must involve Giles however slightly because, hey, we are Giles_shorts


Right then. I shall begin

Title: Choices
Author: il_mio_capitano
Length: 100
Characters: Buffy, Giles
Rating PG for goo


Waving her crossbow, Buffy backed the two versions of Giles against the wall.

“It’s me,” Giles One said. “The other one is the demon.”

“Rubbish,” Giles Two pleaded. “It scanned my memories; don’t believe a word it says.”

Giles One removed his glasses. “Then look into my eyes. Remember how I was the only one who could look at you this way?”

Buffy smiled then blasted a bolt straight through his head. Giles One collapsed into green goo.

Real Giles released his breath. “Well, that could’ve gone badly wrong. What gave him away?”

“He looked too smug.”

“Good to know.”

Characters: Giles, Anya
Word Count: 100
Rating: FRC
Last Line: Good to know

"Good to know," Giles muttered in annoyance.

"What's that?" Anya asked, looking up from her inventory ledger. 

"The bank is sorry for the wait and truly appreciates my business," he huffed in reply, the phone to his ear. "I might believe them if I wasn't on hold for almost an hour."

"They are full of malarky. They told me the same thing last Thursday when I was on hold. I do not think they are sincere," she complained. "I mean, they are the bank. They have a lot of money. Hire appropriately."

Giles rolled his eyes. "Ah yes, problem solved."
