Title: Gone
Fandom: BtVS

Characters: Joyce, Buffy.
Rating: PG
Written For: Challenge 046: Mind at doubledrabbles.
Spoilers/Setting: Becoming Part 2.
Summary: Buffy has run away and all Joyce wants is for her daughter to come home.
Disclaimer: I don’t own BtVS, or the characters. They belong to the wonderful Joss Whedon.
A/N: Double drabble.
Joyce is slowly going out of her mind; she doesn’t know her little girl anymore. Buffy claimed she’s a Slayer, whatever that is, insisted that vampires and demons are real, and that she had to stop her ex-boyfriend Angel from ending the world, or something. Maybe it’s Buffy who’s lost her mind; a bad break-up, especially after what happened between her parents, might have pushed her over the edge.
In retrospect, giving Buffy an ultimatum was the wrong way to handle things. If Joyce had tried to be more sympathetic and understanding, perhaps if she’d offered to go with her daughter to confront Angel instead of telling Buffy not to bother coming back if she left… Of all the times Joyce had screwed up as a parent that was hands down the worst. She hadn’t even meant it, not really; she’d simply been trying to shock her daughter back to reality, make her see sense. It had backfired spectacularly.
Now Buffy’s gone, run away from home. She must have slipped back during the night, thrown a few things in a bag, and left. Joyce has no idea where her daughter is, or if she’s okay.
She just wants Buffy back.
The End

Rick Castle: Looks like Buffy’s visiting the Big Apple.*Castle episode Vampire Weekend*
It would have been cool to see Xander excel in that! His role was to stay humble, I suppose.
Yep. Plus Angel as a puppet. He was so adorable. I wish Buffy had seen him like that.:)

Who wouldn't love a cuddly vampire?

Xander[To Giles]: You could just said, "shh"! God, are you Brits such drama queens?
True, he was the voice of reason. When he wasn't being a tad sarcastic.
Cuddly Angelus in "Sesame Street". That would be cool but scary for the kids.*imagining*

Wasn't there already a vampire on sesame street?

Date: 2020-09-17 11:11 am (UTC)Yep. Reality check.
Precisely. Anya was also pretty sarcastic in her own way.
Yes. Count Dracula, numbers was his thing. Hence the name. I meant Angel without a soul. Could you imagine Angelus's attitude towards the kids?
Or maybe cavewoman Buffy meeting Angel puppet. My mind is going places.
