There's No Place Like HOME

#46 - Fabulous Finals Challenge

Submitted by PhenDog



YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I finally finished my finals and am fantastically free to continue my ficcing follies! Anyway, I don't know if anyone noticed, but if anyone did, that's why I was practicing virtual internet silence over the past week. So now it's time for me to re-establish a personal higeine routine, set my alarm clock for some time OTHER than 4 am (no, I'm not kidding) and consider the possibility of re-expanding my diet to include items outside the four basic food groups of pizza, pop, chips, and pudding cups. (I don't even want to THINK about the positively astounding number of Snack Pack pudding cups that lost their lives to my study habits...)

Yeah, okay...now for something actually on topic. There is a fic challenge in here somewhere I swear! GilesWench issues challenges for her little known holidays...well today is a holiday for me!

So here it is:


Finals Week

Takes place during seasons 4 or 5 (for obvious reasons) when Buffy, Tara, and Willow (plus whoever you want as incidental characters) are busy taking their final exams.

Can be short--just a few paragraphs, or as long as you want, ships or not...but I want it to make me laugh! (I may need a reason to after my grades come back) I know that many of you are past this traumatic time in your life...but I also know that all of those of you who went through it still remember it no matter how long or short ago it was. Feel free to draw on your personal experience!


That's it in the requirements realm...
here're some optional inclusions though if you need something to jog the ol' muse!:


Optional:
1) Someone has a dream (or an actual experience!) in which either a) they have to take a final for a class they forgot they signed up for and never attended or b) they show up to a final naked...
2) Xander sits in on a final or two even though he's not a student and tries out a few of the suggestions on 50 Ways to Flunk a Final which can be found at: http://www.frivolity.com/teatime/Lists/flunk_course_during_final.txt
3) Giles shares a story about his own school "daze" at Oxford
4) One of the exams truly DOES have demonic properties (i.e. something along the lines of anyone who looks directly at it immediately breaks down sobbing/flies into a homicidal rage/etc.)
5) It is discovered that one of the exams is actually just a questionaire designed by a sorcer/demon to single out appropriate snacks/victims/sacrifices.
6) During one of the exams there is a nice little interruption by a demon and because of that everyone gets and A!
7) Willow or Tara performs a spell to pass one of the tests and it horribly backfires!
8) Someone manages to sell a book back to the bookstore and get even close to what they originally paid for it!


Come on...I need to be able to laugh at my pain! help me out,

Phen
