The Shopping Slayer

“Oh my God,” Cordelia said, bringing two perfectly manicured fingers to her temple, “you cannot buy that.”

Angel frowned, turning the necklace over in his hands, examining it for flaws. “Why not? I’m sure Fred will love it.”

“Um, first of all, it’s Shanel, with an S, which is not a thing. Secondly, you’re buying a garnet for someone who is clearly a summer.”

Angel just blinked. “I don’t think—what?”

Cordelia sighed. She snatched the necklace from Angel’s hand, and set it back on the display. Then she grabbed him by the hand and began to drag him into the belly of the department store.

“You are too old not to know how to shop, Angel. It’s just pathetic.”

“Um . . . sorry?”

“Happily, you have me here. For once, you’re the damsel in distress, and here I come to save your ass.”

Angel grinned crookedly. “Thanks, Cordy.”

Cordelia rolled her eyes, but she was smiling. “Merry Christmas, Angel. Now, let’s talk about what you’re getting me.”

Too adorable. I love the C/A friendship and this just perfectly caaptures it.

Thank you! I love them together. Just not, you know, together together.

Also, I was shocked to discover while researching this that

      (a) I'm a summer, not a winter, and
      (b) I'm not supposed to wear black.

Black is, like, half my wardrobe. I feel so betrayed.

I never pay attention to that stuff. If it fits, I'm happy.

Oh love it! Yes, so very Cordy being Cordy and Angel being clueless (you know Angelus knew how to shop; I'm sure Darla beat that into his head *g*).

you know Angelus knew how to shop



OMGGGGG! I'm dying laughing. Darla does have her priorities, after all.

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it. :)
