Buffy hurried into the library, carrying a large box. “This is all I could find. Cleaned out all the stores and even stole what was in the student’s lounge.”

Xander peered inside. “Perfect.”

“Eww, flies!” Willow gagged.

“And spiders, roaches, centipedes, snakes… All the rubber Halloween goodness!”

“I still think this is bad. Giles’ll be back any minute.”

“Wil, you keep watch. Buffy, start opening all the drawers you can find. Every time he reached for so much as a pen, he’ll get a handful of creepy-crawlies.”

“He’ll be pissed,” Buffy giggled.

“That’s why we don’t let him catch us!”

Awwww, I find this very cute and in-character! Plus, it's a great example of the tried and true drabble strategy of using dialogue to the greatest possible extent-- the voices came through really nicely here!

And the idea of Giles discovering the prank and realizing the effort that was put forth-- PRECIOUS. <3

Nice, taunt dialogue that sets the whole scene.

And I'm so proud of how you used the prompt. Excellent!

Menaces! The lot of them! LOL

I can Giles exacting a very special revenge after it's all over.

I can see this going in a couple of different directions. Either he is started out of his tweed or he acts cool and collected and retaliates in a most spectacular way.
