Batteries Definately Included...Or...Buffy the Furby Slayer: Prologue
by Jessi
Buffy and the others are Joss'. I don't have the rights to the Furbies,I just play soccer with them. Don't sue.

This is strictly a what-the-hell-was-I-thinking, Pepsi-and-Fuzzy-Peaches-don't-mix, just-die-and-leave-me-the-hell-alone kind of story I wrote to vent my annoyance of my Furby. So Cocoa, this is for you.

Summery:

It's Easter, and Buffy got a Furby. Harmless, huh? Yeah, but on the Hellmouth, the furballs can do some serious damage. Willow's got 6 of them too, and together, they plan to take over Sunnydale. Buffy and Willow think they're just hallucinating, but Angel, Oz and Xander swear they heard the Furbies talk. And they probably weren't talking in Furbish…

Can the boys snap some sense into their girlfriends before the little robots get too smart for their own good and find out about the Hellmouth?

Prologue

'Getting Aquainted'

It was a quiet night in Sunnydale after Easter. Nothing was sufficiently happening, and no one was in the Summers' house besides Buffy and her homework. Or that's what she thought.

"Mom, I'm alright!" Buffy insisted over the phone, stealing three chocolate eggs from her stash. "No, I'm not in the chocolate. It's a holiday; vampires don't really come out. Especially when there are crosses and Jesus' outside, so I'm doing my homework." She listened longer. "He's doing okay, but he won't stop laughing. I have to go, Jalopy calls. What were they thinking when they named these things? Bye, love ya. Have fun!" she set the cordless on the kitchen counter, unwrapped her cream egg and scaled the stairs to shut her crying Furby up. Once at her door, she saw a tall man sitting on her bed with his back to her, turning the popular ball of fuzz over as it giggled inanely.

Buffy smiled to herself, wiped the cream off her face and tiptoed in behind him. She quietly walked up and pounced on him, sending him flying up with a yell, making the Furby hit the ceiling.

"B-Buffy! You scared me." Angel stuttered.

"By the distance you jumped, how loud you screamed and how high Jalopy went, you'd think I gave you a heart attack." Buffy replied, shoving the last of her candy in her mouth and setting Jalopy on her bedside table. "Well, if your heart actually worked."

'Nee-tye kah!' the little robot said to them.

"What?"

"'Tickle me' You've been laughing too much! Time for you to go to bed!" Buffy told the Furby, picking it up and setting it in her double compartment trunk, closing the lid and shoving it in her closet.

"What the hell is that?" Angel questioned.

"Jalopy? He's a Furby. You know those things that people were practically killing each other for at Christmas? There's a bunch now, and my mom thought it would be cute to get one for Easter. I swear, I get crap for the good holidays and good stuff on the crappy holidays."

"What's he supposed to do?"

"Sing, talk, dance, drive you insane." Angel cracked a small smile, so did Buffy.

"I just came over to see if you were home, wish you a happy Easter, that kind of stuff. I'd better get going." The vampire got up and started for the window when Buffy stopped him.

"Wait up. Maybe we can…patrol together. I've really got nothing else to do."

"What about your homework?"

"It's not due till next week. Let me just get some stuff." She watched Angel slip out and land on the ground while she changed shirts, got her backpack and crammed it full Slaying supplies. She decided to leave the trunk open, so she shut off the lights, turned on her answering machine and went out the window. As soon as Buffy and Angel were gone, a slight jarring came from the other compartment of the trunk, where Jalopy had been set down. A little puff of black and white fur sprung up, followed by two dark brown eyes and the rest of his puffball of a body.

'Hmm…Doo-ay!' he bent down, as much as a Furby could, and grasped one of Buffy's stakes, with a gleam in his eye. 'Yum…' He said before realizing there was no light for his sensor to work. 'Yawn, kay way-toh koh-koh' His eyes closed four times as he snored and there was a thud as he hit the bottom of the compartment.
