Disclaimer: Characters belong to ME except for Agnes Pringle and various vampires.
Summary: This is the story of Agnes Pringle, English spinster and reluctant vampire. Agnes used to run a teastall in the local garbage dump - The Replacement, Season 5 - but she has now opened a teashop in Sunnydale High Street with the money left her by her admirer Richard Wilkins III. Buffy has died, Spike is still grieving, Dawn is working in the tearooms as part-time waitress and Agnes is teaching Andrew to cook. Life is busy and made harder by the Buffybot slaying some of Agnes' friends.
Chapter 30
Choices
Agnes Pringle eased her toes out of her sensible shoes and wriggled them blissfully. She’d been on her feet constantly since she’d got out of bed at noon and she now had half an hour when she could relax before the early evening customers arrived. The smell of baking hung in the air; the spicy warmth of cinnamon and apple turnovers escaping into the street to entice people into the Olde Willow Tree Teashoppe. She wished she didn’t feel so tired: she was babysitting again this evening. That poor girl, Shona, who’d lost her husband to the pretend Slayer, had asked if she would look after Ronnie and Nancy for a couple of hours and Agnes hadn’t the heart to say no, even though she was exhausted.
But weren’t vampires supposed to have endless energy and strength? Agnes sometimes wondered if a lot of the laws and legends she’d heard over the past years were nothing more than fairy-tales. All she knew was that her feet hurt – she was sure she was developing a corn on one toe and she’d never heard of a vampire foot specialist living in Sunnydale.
