Fic or Treat ^_^

Buffy picked up a piece of candy and held it in her fingers, twirling it over and over again as she examined the shiny wrapper. She pulled the wrapper apart and stuck the piece of chocolate in her mouth.

"You know, I think I get it," she piped up in between swallowing the chocolate and licking her fingers. "You know, the whole why the vampires never attack on Halloween."

Giles, Xander, and Willow were looking through books, trying to figure out how to stop the next Big Bad rampaging Sunnydale. Their work was never done.

"Please Buffy, enlighten us to your theory of why vampires stay in on Halloween," Giles replied dryly.

"It's simple! The kids in costumes, the candy. Vampires don't attack because it's the one day when people travel in packs. It's the one day when we pretend to be them. They don't have the power they usually have on Halloween."

Giles stared at Buffy, stunned. "That...was actually an astute observation. Are you feeling all right?"

"I'm feeling just fine! You know, sometimes I do actually pay attention when you speak," Buffy teased as she grabbed for another piece of candy.

Willow just grinned and looked at Xander, expecting to get a knowing grin back. Sometimes, Buffy proved she was more than just a girly girl that also happened to have the ability to slay vampires. She felt proud to be friends with Buffy, and to lend a hand with her ability to hack and do research.

Xander, on the other hand, had been staring at Buffy and was, of course, not paying any attention to Willow's reaction. All in all, it was just another day in the Sunnydale High library, only with the addition of costumed kids roaming the hallways.

Yay for Buffy being smart! (And the power of candy.)

Wonderful little scene. Thank you!
