willow_25We'll see if this is as successful now as it was in my head at 1 this morning, when I was too tired to get out of bed and write it.
Ozma914 requested Buffy and the 'bot having a conversation. So, here it goes. I've forgotten the episode name, because I'm a bad, bad person...The one where Glory tortures Spike.
*****
With clothes on, Buffy was embarrassed to admit how exactly like her the robot was. Without clothes it was easier not to be wigged by the thing, because they were obviously different. Not all that much; the clothes covered most of it, but enough that they weren't twins.
"Less-pleasant Buffy?" The robot asked, with it's nearly unshakable over-sized grin, and exchanged its skirt for her pants.
"Yes..." Buffy would have called it by name, if it had a name other than 'Buffy' or 'robot'.
"We have excellent taste in clothes." The 'bot declared, and winked at her.
Buffy couldn't help but smile. Giving yourself a compliment had just taken on a whole new meaning.
"We need a cape, though." The 'bot declared, with a slightly smaller grin and a decisive nod.
Buffy blinked at her. "A cape?"
"We're super-heroes! Super-heroes wear capes. And tights. Spike said so. And, then I could defeat super-villain Spike, and tie him up, and..."
"Okay, that's enough of that topic." Buffy shuddered. It was even worse than hearing Anya's role-playing stories, imagining the fake-her and Spike playing sex games together.
"Less-pleasant Buffy?" The robot asked again. Buffy was really starting to hate being called that. She could be damn pleasant when she wanted to be!
"Yes, robo-Buffy?" She responded snarkily.
"You're not going to injure Spike more than is necessary, are you?"
"I'm not going there to injure him at all, I just want to talk to him."
The robot nodded thoughtfully, smoothing Buffy's shirt over her stomach and examining her reflection. "You're not going to have sex with Spike, are you?"
Buffy met the robot's eyes in the mirror, surprised to see that the ever-present grin was gone, replaced by an almost nervous expression. She looked, in that moment, very human. "No." Buffy responded. "I'm not going to have sex with Spike." She refrained from adding 'ever, ever, ever' to spare the robot's...Well, not like she had feelings, but whatever.
The robot's big smile returned. "Good. That's my job."
Dressed now, Buffy led the robot out of the bathroom, and back into the main part of the Magic Box. "You can turn her off now." She told Willow, and left the shop without another word.
