Summary: Shoto meets his crush at the airport, having rehearsed his confession speech and even learned some Thai for it, but all those plans come to naught in the face of how cute Baabel can be and a bad translation thanks to Google.

Title: Harmless Fun
Fandom: Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Author: veronyxk84
Characters: Buffy, Dawn (mentioned: Spike, Xander)
Rating: PG-13/Teen
Length: 200 (Google Docs)
Content notes: mention of alcohol use, legal age
Spoilers/Setting: Set in a post-series future where Buffy/Spike and Dawn/Xander are established couples.
Summary: Karaoke night.
Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction created for fun and no profit has been made. All rights belong to the respective owners.
Author notes: “Seven Drunken Nights” is an Irish folk song by The Dubliners, whose last two verses are often skipped when performed because they're considered too raunchy. [More info on Wiki and here's a lovely censored performance by Celtic Thunder.]
While it might make little sense for Spike (British) to sing this song, Dowling might have had Irish ancestors (according to a surname search) and this dare was meant for fun.
BTW, I absolutely love this song (Mike Denver's version) to which I learned a line-dance choreography years ago.
