Spike tried desperately to stop laughing.
“Wee little puppet.”
”Its not funny Spike.”
“Sure it is. Lets stop for a moment Angel. Think how you’d feel if it was me.”
A smile spread across Angel’s face. “You’d deserve it. I’d be laughing at you.”
Spike smirked. “Bloody well proved my point.”
“Did not!”
Spike gave up the fight, laughter exploded from his mouth. Angel leaped onto him knocking Spike to the floor.
“Stop laughing!”
But Spike really couldn’t stop. Angel looked so cute with the tiny velvet body. After several minutes, Angel finally spoke.
“Being short sucks Spike. Plus, being a puppet is so embarrassing.”
“Well, it makes you easier to hold.”
Spike proved his point by scooping Angel up and holding him close.
“Well that part is kind of nice,” admitted Angel.
Spike began petting the top of Angel’s head, running his hands through Angel’s hair. Angel made a little mewling sound.
“What are you doing Spike?”
”Taking you to your room. You’ve been a very naughty puppet.”
Angel considered fighting, but if this was going the way it seemed well…
“Very good plan Spike, just one second.”
Spike picked up the phone, and dialed Harmony. As soon as she picked up, he handed it to Angel.
“Cancel all of my appointments Harmony, I’ll be in my apartment. But, don’t call unless it’s an emergency.”
”Ok Boss.”
Spike hung up the phone, “Onward and upward then. Lets see just how functional your puppet body is.”
