Prompt set #21 for writers_muses

“Alright, alright you two. You two sort it out in a civil manner, and that’s an order.”

set pre-comic book canon

Buffy was tired of hearing Dawn and Andrew snipe at each other. They’d been at it since Giles had shipped Andrew to Rome under the guise of ‘learning from a seasoned slayer’. Buffy knew the real reason was because Andrew had driven him insane.
“Sam and Frodo were not gay!” Andrew’s voice had a shriek to it that only dolphins and dogs could decipher. It made Buffy wince and sip her coffee too fast, which resulted in a burned tongue.

“Oh please. They were so gay. They just weren’t open about it. The Shire probably frowned on gay relationships,” Dawn rolled her eyes and poked at her grapefruit with her fork, sending juice spritzing all over the table.

Buffy sighed, grabbed a napkin, stood up and wiped the table. “That’s it, you two. Sort this out in a civil, quiet manner. I’m going to eat crepes and coffee at the shop down the street. Neither of you are invited. When I get back if you’re still sniping at each other I swear to God I’ll ship you both off to Cleveland.”
