Buffy & Freddy.
WHO: Buffy Summers & Freddy Freeman
WHAT: Ooh, time to go sightseeing!
WHERE: Starts off at Freddy’s place, moves on from there.
WHEN: Sunday, some point after the morning of Christmas in June.
WARNINGS: Language maybe.
SPOILERS: Um.. not sure? Maybe for Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Shazam?

Buffy checked her wallet once more as she headed for the floor Freddy was staying in. She was sure she had enough for whatever they likely did, and she could try and improvise if she didn’t, but it didn’t hurt to triple check. She hadn’t exactly arrived with a bucket of cash. But she’d been wearing some jewelry that she pawned the other day in the off chance she didn’t find a job in time for next month’s rent. Plus she had ‘earned’ some extra when coming across some muggers during patrol. Luckily she hadn’t needed to buy a new wardrobe as of yet so her necessities had been kind of minimal so far. She knew she wanted to be sure Freddy had a good time and hoped whatever they did would be enough.

Goodland was a strange place, mirror of Manhattan that it was, but it seemed like the well known tourist spots still existed so there was still plenty to see and she was more than willing to hear any suggestions Freddy had. He seemed like a good kid and while he didn’t totally remind her of Dawn, he did remind her of some of the younger Slayers they had managed to locate and start training before her arrival here. And while none of them were ever exactly like Dawn, no one could be, they all seemed to trigger a big sister instinct in her. Maybe it was the whole shared power thing or the fact she had just started taking the whole oldest Slayer role to a new level. Whatever it was, it had her protective big sister senses on high, and the kid was already on her list of people she’d take a bullet for. Funny that. Her thoughts finally settling down after one last cash count, Buffy paused in front of the apartment door with a shrug. Whatever happened, happened. In the end, she wanted to explore and having company, even if it was a kid (or rather a teenager) was a hell of a lot more fun than adulting with adults. Confident in her choices and wallet contents, Buffy lightly rapped her knuckles on the door and waited.

Freddy didn't think to bring anything other than his phone and money. He had Rosa and Mary to consider those things back home. "I don't have sunblock," he admitted. Granted, it was still winter in his reality so he was getting used to the change in seasons. "Oh, Audrey mentioned horses might be there! If there are, we need to take a pic for her. And I said I'd buy chocolate kisses for Laura. Can you believe she has never had one? She is like from another place way in the future or something!" He hobbled along the hallway after Buffy. He couldn't help noticing how pretty she was; they talked briefly at Alicia's pizza party, but Freddy's mind had been all over the place while in the crowd of people. He blushed a little, thinking about it. He also wanted to get star stickers for Nico if they came across some, but, for some reason, he didn't want to admit that to Buffy. "Have you ever been to NYC?" He asked, remembering his manners.

She instantly pulled a small bottle of sunscreen and once they were in the elevator, she tilted her head in question. “We have to get you suited for battle,” She held up said bottle, “You want to do it, or do I do the mom face and put it on your face and arms while you glare at me the way I glared at mine when I was a kid?” She wore a crooked smile, as if to say she wasn’t actually going to force him to do anything, but she couldn’t help but channel her mom in this moment. At least the usually sharp pang of missing her was a little less painful and more wistful this time. “Ooh, horses, horses are way better than cars. I can’t crash a horse. We are so doing- wait what?” Her words came to an instant stop at the undeniably horrible situation to come to her attention. “Laura’s never had chocolate kisses? That’s just wrong. It’s too bad we’re stuck here, if we were back home, we could take her to Hershey or something. But we'll fix it, we'll be her new chocolate dealers.”

Buffy shook her head, some of the light curls she had bouncing slightly, “Never been to NYC, other than a flight layover that didn’t give me time to look around. I grew up in L.A though, so at least the big city theme if familiar, even if the energy is different. I always wanted to go, mostly for shopping, but after Sunnydale sank we pretty much hopped around until we settled in Scotland.” It would have been nice to have had a real break, but even if she wasn’t the only Slayer anymore, there were still a lot of girls that needed help with their new status so the job was still her life. Maybe Goodland was her time off. Huh. That was something to really consider. “I’m going to think of this as my chance to finally see it like a normal person and get to have some fun. Haven’t gotten to do that in months.”
