Prompt: When You Wish Upon a Star Creature (comedy)
Prompt: When You Wish Upon a Star Creature
Setting: Post Series
Rating: PG
Words: 400
A/N: Did I mention the prompt-drunkness?
Please, please don’t notice me, the star thought as it plummeted to Earth. Please just let me die in peace.
“I wish –” a thousand voices chorused.
Damn magic. With a dying sigh, the star got to work, doing its best to fill as many wishes as it could before it faded to nothing.
“Buffy!” Dawn shrieked. “BuffyBuffyBUFFEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!”
“Dawn, there better be an apocalypse in –” Buffy pulled up short, eyeing the bevy of confused creatures in their back yard. “Um?”
“I – there was a falling star,” Dawn said, “and I made a wish on it. You know, star light, star –”
“What did we say about wishing?”
“Yeah, but there’s nobody else around, and we’re not on the Hellmouth anymore, and it’s just a star. I’ve wished on them a gazillion times and never had any of them come true.”
“Uh huh,” Buffy said, keeping an eye on the lion, who was looking a little too hungry for her tastes. “And what exactly did you wish?”
“That – that we could see Spike again, alive.”
Buffy stared at the results of Dawn’s wish. “That’s it?”
“Well, I was kind of thinking about how there are other dimensions, and how if maybe we couldn’t have the Spike from our dimension, maybe there was another one out there. Like Willow’s vampire double. Except Spike’s already a vampire... and...”
“So... so we got animals?”
“I don’t know?” Dawn studied the insta-zoo in the back yard. “I guess they all have a certain Spike-ness to them? Maybe?”
Buffy stared some more at the lion, the donkey, the moth, the bat, the bunny, the penguin, and the... narwhal? Then she sat down heavily. “Oh god, Dawn. What the hell are we supposed to do with them? Even if they are all... Spike? I can’t believe I just said that.”
“You must choooose one....” a voice intoned.
Dawn and Buffy looked at each other, then back at the animals.
“None, I guess...” Dawn said.
“What?” the voice said. “Do you know how hard it was to bring so many choices here?”
“They have to all go back,” Buffy said firmly.
“Fine,” the voice said huffily. The animals disappeared. “In that case –” A black-clad vampire suddenly appeared on the lawn. “I hope you’re happy now!” it said.
Somewhere in the distance, a star winked out.
