Title: Not Earth 63/100 TtH Prompt: #86 Forest Summary: Buffy’s first mission offworld since being captured. Not Earth A soft sigh escaped Buffy’s lips as she exited the stargate. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. “Finally,” she murmured. “Are you all right, Buffy?” Daniel asked from her right. “I’m perfect,” she said, opening her eyes. She treated him to one of her dazzling smiles. “We’re in the middle of a forest with no real hope of civilization,” Vala said, looking around in confusion. Buffy tried to find the right words to explain her sudden elation. She was a city girl and had always regarded nature as some sort of forced necessity. Something she could enjoy from afar, but never really felt the need to immerse herself in it. But since joining the SGC, that had changed. Desolate, remote areas seemed to call to something deep inside of her. It set her at peace. Deciding she’d never be able to get that across, she gave another reason that was just as accurate. “It’s not Earth.” “No, it’s not,” Cameron agreed as he started down the steps from the stargate. She followed him down as the other two chose not to comment. They were probably just happy that she was acting more like her old self. She had improved after talking to Faith and Cameron while they were in Cleveland, but there had still been something missing. It was this. It was not knowing what was around the corner. The thrill of living, of saving the world. It just happened to be this forest providing it for her today. Previous Chapter Buffygate Menu Next Chapter |
