Broken

"What the hell happened?"

Spike glared at the debris littering the floor of his basement apartment. He dropped his packages and crossed the room. Shards of glass crunched beneath his boots and an acrid smell of burning assailed his nostrils.

"I do not understand," Illyria said gloomily. " I no longer control the ones who would serve my cause."

She handed Spike a small plastic box. He examined it, shook it, pointed it in the direction of the damage, and pressed a button.

Nothing happened.

"I think you broke it, Blue," he said gesturing at the smouldering remains of the television.

Hee! I remember this, I do believe. So amusing. Those TVs sure are a handful.

Hehehe nice.

Hee. Cute. I would think TV's were way too delicate for Illyria. Not that she couldn't handle delicate things. I just think she wouldn't try.

I actually consider this drabble a failure as no-one got the reference to the games console Spike used with his TV. But it amuses so it's not a complete failure.

It's the tiny minions who live inside that give the most trouble.

Thank you!

LOL
yes, of course!

The reference wasn't jump in your face, but my assumption was that Illyria was playing some kind of game, and managed to make the TV explode, whether from kicking it in, or making the game do something the TV couldn't handle.

I think more people got it than you might think.

This drabble made me think of one I wrote, so I put it in together and posted some of my Spike vs Illyria drabbles.
