Life's a beach [RP for stillacrime]

RP Prompt: Everyone needs to get away sometime. Here is a chance for your muse to make their great escape. Where they go and with whom is all up to you.

Lately things had been a lot darker between Danny and her. Not bad just more needy, more desperate, more like the life she had to live instead of the life she wanted to live. Taking a vacation right now was out of the question. Danny couldn't get the time off but Buffy still thought they could use a vacation and she missed the beach. The California beach. Sure they had beaches in New York but they were different. And also they were full of people.

Since they couldn't go to California, Buffy had decided to bring California to them. Danny had the day off. Buffy sent Danny out for bags of ice while she put everything together on the roof. She didn't tell him what she was up to, just that she had a surprise and she needed ice. On the roof she had a sandbox full of sand, lawn chairs sitting so that they could put their feet in the sand. She also had a kiddie pool full of water, a cooler with bottles of water and beer just waiting for ice, sunscreen, and her ipod dock. She had her ipod set to play nothing but beach boys songs along with a few other California, sun and beach related songs by various artists. There was also a smores maker off to the side. They could use it to roast hot dogs as well. She considered a fire pit but she was pretty sure that was in violation of some kind of fire code or the other. She had a baseball and a couples of gloves so they could play catch later. She was wearing her bikini and she'd left Danny a note on top of a pair of swim trunks in the apartment.

Put these on and come up to the roof

"You go above and beyond all the time, Summers. Promise." Danny answered

"That's just how I roll," Buffy managed to get the words out but cracked up as soon as she'd said them. "I'm sorry. One of the boys said it today and we teased him about it."

"That's how you roll? Alright." He chuckled, ducking his head around the laugh and then sipped at his beer. "Maybe someday we can actually go to California and sit on the beach. I never been."

"Someday," Buffy nodded. "We'd have fun. There'd be lots of beach time. I'd show you the crater where I used to live and the high school I went to in LA. We could go have burgers at Johnny Rocket's, unarguably the best hamburgers ever."

"So uh... you gonna tell me how that became a crater? Where your house is?" Danny asked curiously.

Buffy nodded and dug her toes in the sand, brow furrowing slightly. She tried to decided what to censor and what to tell him in order to freak him out the least. "Honestly, I didn't have a lot to do with it. It was this big battle. Me and all the girls. Spike had this amulet that Angel had brought me. He didn't know what it was supposed to do, just that it would help me out and I needed all the help I could get. Turns out the amulet was sort of...an imploding bomb?" She shrugged. "Anyway. It imploded the town. Everyone was out except me and the girls and we got out before it cratered. Scientists said it was a earthquake that exposed a sinkhole and..." she shrugged again. "Anyway, it's now a great big crater. I think they're considering making it a national park because what else are you gonna do with a crater in the ground?"
