Title: A Crazy Plan 85/100 TtH Prompt: #89 Exclamation Summary: The straw that broke the camel’s back. A Crazy Plan Cameron fired off another useless round to provide Buffy some cover. He ducked back around the corner as she reached him. “Keep him busy,” she said, turning to go. “What?” “I’ve got a plan. Keep him busy,” she said over her shoulder, slipping out of sight. He cursed her brashness and turned back to the Prior that had pinned them down. From his left he could hear Vala and Daniel fire off a couple more shots. They were going to have to come up with another plan to keep the Prior busy because he was going to get bored and they were going to run out of ammo. “Any ideas, Jackson? Vala?” “No,” Vala shouted back. “Nothing comes to mind,” Daniel replied. “Damn, I guess it’s up to me then,” Cameron muttered. The flash of an half-formed idea appeared in his head. Going on instinct, he yelled, “Cease fire!” “Mitchell, what are you doing?” Daniel yelled, as Cameron stepped out from his cover with his hands in the air. “I request parlay,” Cameron said, walking towards the Prior. He stopped when he was ten feet away. “Great, now he thinks he’s a pirate,” Daniel muttered. He looked over at Vala. “Be ready. Who knows what he’s up to.” “Where’s Buffy?” Vala whispered. Daniel risked looking out, but he only saw Cameron talking to the Prior. “I don’t know.” “Do you think she put him up to this?” “It’s possible. It’s the kind of crazy she likes to do,” Daniel said with a roll of his eyes. They both tensed as they saw Cameron rise in the air. His legs kicked and he grasped uselessly at the invisible hold around his neck. “What should we do?” Vala asked. “Nothing. Look,” Daniel said, pointing at the figure moving discreetly behind the Prior. While the struggling Colonel distracted the Prior, Buffy slipped up behind him and drove her knife into its neck. “Recover from that you bastard,” Buffy said derisively. She rushed over to Cameron who was crumpled on the ground. “Are you okay?” “No! What the hell were you thinking?” He asked, scrambling to his feet. He absently rubbed at his neck. “I was thinking that we needed to get out of here,” she replied. Neither of them noticed Daniel and Vala hurrying over to them. “You didn’t have to risk yourself like that!” “Oh, like you were any better? What on Earth possessed you into requesting parlay? This isn’t exactly the Caribbean!” Buffy retorted. “You told me to keep him busy!” Cameron shouted. He moved until they were nearly standing nose to nose. “I meant distracted! Not to carry on a conversation with him!” Cameron let out a strangled scream. “You drive me crazy!” “You drive me crazier!” Without another word, he hauled her against him and crushed his mouth to hers. Buffy’s hands fisted his jacket as she fiercely kissed him back. “Now that’s hot,” Vala said calmly as a needy moan could be heard from the kissing couple. Cameron broke the kiss and looked down at Buffy’s flushed face. “Do you understand now?” “Clearly,” she said a bit breathlessly. “Discuss this later?” “My house.” “Fine.” He looked over at the amused Daniel and Vala. “Let’s head back to the gate.” “You don’t think we should talk about what just happened?” Daniel asked with a smirk. “No, and it doesn’t appear in the official report either,” Cameron said. He bent down and pulled Buffy’s knife out of the body. After cleaning it off, he handed it to her. “Don’t forget this.” She gave him a strange smile and said, “Never.” She slipped it into its sheath and headed towards the stargate. “About time,” Daniel said softly as he walked past Cameron to catch up with Buffy.
