Drabble: Shooty Dog Blues

[il_mio_capitano]

As we have a few consecutive days with no sign-ups, it seems a good time to play first line/last line drabble challenge.

The Rules are:
1. Open to everyone from now until end of June 8th. After that, no more please as we will be back to regular posting days.
2. Drabbles only of 100 word length exactly (though I'm not going to count).
3. Your drabble must begin by using the last line of a previous drabble. One long chain of drabbles is good, but you are free to pick up any last line. A last line can be used more than once.
4. Create a new post each time (keeps it easier to track).

I get to go first! My thanks to quaggy for this prompt. Also my apologies for using it in only a drabble. Hope you don't mind too much.

Title: Shooty Dog Blues

Author: il-mio-capitano

length: 100

 

 "<<Exterminate! Exterminate!>>"

 

Joyfully, Giles worked the control paddle and his model Dalek patrolled officiously around his office and then out into the corridor. It was highly unprofessional but clearly the best Christmas present ever he'd ever had.

 

"<<K-9 will engage!>>"

 

From out of Xander's office, another Dr Who toy appeared and, much to the disapproval of the rest of the staff, the two locked in deadly laser battle. Giles fired but Xander was quicker and the Dalek lost power on a direct hit.

 

"Bad dog," snarled Giles.

 

The dog's antenna ears wiggled proudly.

 

"<<Affirmative>>."

 

"I wasn't talking to you."

Ahahahahahahahaha! Oh this is excellent.

Bad dog indeed. Victory for K9! :D

Thank you!

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 this is brilliant. Had me laughing proper laughs, not those loud exhales through the nose laughs, and that's high praise indeed x

I feel like we really do need more Head in Who.

[il_mio_capitano]

Thank you! And yes we do, though I don't suppose we will get any.

[quaggy]

I LOVE THIS! I LOVE THIS! I LOVE THIS!! How could I possibly mind a drabble when you did it so brilliantly?! (How could I mind a drabble period? You know I love them.) The addition of Xander and K-9 was particularly inspired! I'm pretty sure neither one of them are going to get any work done for a good long time.

[il_mio_capitano]

Thank you, I'm so relieved you like it! I suspect no-one else would get any work done either...

[quaggy]

Hmmm... until every launches a detail operation. Willow is sent to distract Xander and the same time that Buffy distracts Giles. Meanwhile, a crack team of Slayers and Watchers sneak into the culprits' offices and steal the toys. Giles and Xander will still not be getting any work done as they'll be too busy with recovery efforts, but everyone else will get some peace ;-)

LOL!!! *Slow clap* *Standing slow clap*

[il_mio_capitano]

8-) Did you like that then?

[littleotter73]

Absolutely brilliant!!! This is my favourite drabble that you have written in ever. In fact, it is just my favourite drabble ever!

I seriously laughed out loud and bow down in awe to your drabble skillz.

[il_mio_capitano]

Thank you :). It worked out quite nicely didn't it?

[sparrow2000]

Hee, hee, hee. That was great fun.

[il_mio_capitano]

Thank you!

OMG that was adorable. I can totally see Doctor Who being one of the few shared interests Giles and Xander have. Perfect. :)

[dragonyphoenix]

Hee hee hee. I'm giggling here!
