Title: Thanks For Volunteering TtH Prompt: #32 Snow Summary: Buffy and Vala can’t believe they got sent to this planet. Thanks For Volunteering “This is ridiculous,” Buffy chattered. She was so bundled up in her snow gear that all anyone could see were her hazel eyes peering out. “Couldn’t we have come to this planet during summer?” “Everytime we have sent probes here, it was winter,” Daniel said. He might have shrugged, but she couldn’t tell by the puffy jacket he was wearing. “So why are we here?” Vala asked. The thief was nearly as bundled up as Buffy. “Just a simple mineral survey,” Cameron said with a grin. Out of the four of them he seemed to be the most at ease in the foot deep snow covered terrain. “To see if there is anything of interest here.” “What could be interesting on Hoth?” Buffy asked, bouncing in place to keep warm. “It’s not like we’re going to find a hidden rebel base… And I’ve hung out with Andrew for far too long.” “I don’t understand,” Vala said, looking at Cameron and Daniel who were laughing loudly. “It comes from a movie,” Cameron said. “We’ll have movie night at Buffy’s house and show it.” “Thanks for volunteering my place,” Buffy said dryly. “You’re welcome.” “Could I pass? They were Teal’c’s favorite and I’m a little burned out,” Daniel said, setting up some equipment. “Sorry, no can do, Jackson. We’re gonna watch all six movies and you and Vala still can’t be separated for more than eight hours.” Cameron looked at Daniel and said, “What? I didn’t quite catch that.” “Nothing,” Daniel said in a strained voice. “But what I still don’t understand is why we were the ones sent here and not another team,” Buffy whined. “Not a cold weather fan are ya?” Cameron asked. “I grew up in southern California, what do you think?” She retorted. “Easy, Buffy. This won’t be bad. It could be kind of fun.” “Whatever,” she said with a roll of her eyes. She froze when she felt something hit her between her shoulder blades. “Cam, I warn you, don’t start this ‘cause you won’t win.” “I’m shaking in my boots,” he taunted before throwing another snowball at her. “That’s it!” She cried. The tiny slayer quickly made three snowballs and threw them in rapid succession at Cameron. He laughed as all but the last one missed. “Wuss!” He threw another one at her that missed by a mile. As the two of them chased each other with snowballs, shrieking with laughter, Vala looked at Daniel and calmly said, “They can be such children at times.” “You’re right,” he agreed before hitting her with a snowball and dashing off.
