TtH2 Prompt: #31 Sight
Fandom/Theme: Buffy/Firefly
Wordcount: 341
Disclaimer: I own none of the characters featured here. They belong to their respective creators and production companies.
Distribution: My site – Worlds of Possibilities, ff.net, and TtH
Spoilers: Anything for Buffy is fair game and the entire season of Firefly. Happens between series and movie so no spoilers for the BDM.
Series: Since I Found Serenity
Summary: Buffy is shown to her room.
Home?
Buffy had a hard time taking in the sights around her as River led her to the room she would be staying in. This was not how she pictured a real spaceship would look like. She had seen Star Wars and, unfortunately, even Star Trek thanks to both Xander and Andrew. The clean, sterile feel to the ships on those shows was nothing like Serenity. Serenity looked warm and inviting, and for some strange reason it felt like home.
She was still curious as to the bits of Chinese influence that was prevalent throughout the ship. From what she had gathered from the crew during their earlier talk, she had somehow been transported several hundred years into the future. Maybe an entirely different dimension of her own. A future in another dimension.
Wow, that was a bit overwhelming. She shook her head to try and clear her jumbled thoughts and concentrated on following River. Not that the ship was large and easy to get lost in, it was a fairly straightforward ship. But it was easier to do that than understand her current predicament.
River stopped in front of a set of doors that resembled ones she had seen in a Japanese restaurant. She slid the door open and Buffy stepped into the small room. A simple bed was on one side and a place to store her non-existent clothes was on the other. It wasn’t much, but it looked nicer than some hotel rooms she had seen in the past.
She felt River patting her shoulder in a comforting manner. “It’ll be okay.”
Buffy snorted. As if being thrown into another dimension’s future was some sort of sign of being okay.
“Displaced will fit. Become part of family,” River said with a smile before ducking out and shutting the door behind her.
The tiny slayer sighed. Displaced. That certainly described what she was. She was someone who hadn't felt like she belonged in years, but looking around her new room she thought that maybe she had a chance to.

PS - Can I kill Word? Seriously kill it? And perhaps beat Yahoo up while I'm at it? [All this to say, you will get the chapters, but technology is attempting to thwart me. I'm waiting on help from my brilliant techie friend and then, crossing fingers, all shall be well and you shall have chapters.] Sorry, hon.

on 2006-01-16 09:40 pm (UTC)Totally understand the frustration of comp and Yahell problems. Once again, I'm not receiving all the messages from the group. For a while everything is fine, and then things go on the fritz again. I still haven't received the latest part of Buffygate that I posted on Sat. But I got today's post. *sigh* I wish they'd figure out what the problem is and fix it.
I've got one more scene to write and Chapter Nine of Undertow will be complete. I'm just cooking along with it. But I still need to type it up. As long as I get them by Feb. everything will be good. The ones I just sent, don't go up until then.
And no need to apologize. I feel bad that you're having comp problems. :) Hope your friend can help.

PS What does BDM stand for? I keep seeing it, and I know it's referring to Serenity (the movie) but what does it mean exactly?

on 2006-05-28 10:41 pm (UTC)I adore River on Firefly... Actually, I think adore all of the characters. I've never really been able to pick a fav like I can on other shows.
I'm not sure when I'll be able to continue this. It's currently on hiatus, but I'm hoping to return to it eventually. Just keep your eye out for it. :D
BDM stands for Big Damn Movie. It's just what the movie began to be referred to as. :D
Thanks for letting me know that you've enjoyed what I've written so far.

on 2006-05-28 11:32 pm (UTC)I didn't know it was on hiatus...that makes me sad. I'm very intrigued by this story, so I hope your eventually comes soon! And I will definitely keep an eye out. Already am *indicates addition to friends list*
I thought it might be something like that, but I was just curious as to what the official stand was. It's fitting.
I think it's important for an author to get feedback. And depending on the type, it does interesting things for their writing. So I make a point of commenting when I have the time. It also come back to the golden rule, because I love getting comments, so I assume others do too. :)

PS I love your icon. It's one of the greatest Simon moments. Well, one of the greatest moments, period, lool.
