Prompt 223, Minor Character Free For All: Groupie (Sugarshock)
Characters/Pairing (if any) Groupie, Dandelion, Wade
A/N: Id' warn about crack, but it's Sugarshock... it's kind of a given.
He hadn't always been a groupie, but that became his name. He actually didn't even like their music. There was just something about Wade. He felt obliged to like Sugarshock then, even if Dandelion was strangely off-putting. The problem was that Wade was hardly without her bandmates. Robot Phil was great, but the rest of them were kind of in the way all the time.
So, groupie was looking forward to their first date without the band around. Wade had invited him over to her apartment to watch some TV. At first, it seemed great. Just him and Wade, cuddle on the couch, watching Buffy. The night seemed perfect. Perfect until Dandelion came bouncing over the couch and wedged between Groupie and Wade.
"OMG, you're watching Dollhouse?" Dandelion's eyes darted back and forth between the TV, Groupie, and Wade. "You can't watch this!"
Wade, who Groupie assumed was just used to Dandelion's outbursts, was gentle. Personally Groupie wanted to tell her to shove off. "Why not, sweetie?"
Dandelion jumped off the couch and ran to the windows. She quickly pulled the drapes on all but the window next to them. You know, the one that people could actually see them through.
"This is the Vikings favorite TV show." Dandelion plopped back between them and grabbed the remote. On the screen Eliza Dushku had just started some crazy martial arts. Just as the good part came on, Dandelion clicked it off.
"Hey!" Groupie protested. It was the first thing he had said since he had gotten there.
"Groupie!" Wade clicked her tongue.
Groupie sighed. This no speaking thing was odd, but he kinda liked the way she took charge.
Dandelion ignored both of them. "Deadly force may be called for..."
"Because we watched Doll--mrph?!" Wade's sentence was cut short by Dandelion's hand on her mouth. "Murpfhg?"
"Don't say the name of that one show!"
"But you did," Groupie grumbled.
"I've got pancakes," Dandelion said, as if that made perfect sense.
"MMmphfff..." Wade said.
"I know you'll kill me if I don't remove my hand," Dandelion said to Wade.
"GpfehhhammmMMmmm."
Dandelion sighed. "Fine, but don't say that title again. You don't want them hearing."
"Who?" Wade asked. "We're at my apartment."
Dandelion looked around again and was about to say something when a giant spike rammed through the not-draped window.
"Thor on a biscuit!" Dandelion exclaimed. Thankfully, the giant spike narrowly missed the couch.
"Good thing I rearranged the furniture this morning," Wade said.
"You mean I did." Groupie brushed his shirt to get rid of some glass shards that had managed to fall there.
"Groupie! Hush."
Dandelion, in the meantime, had rushed to the front door and opened it. She held a fist up to the air and shook it. "Damn you Joss Whedon. Damn you and your juggling geese."
