"Goal!" the TV announcer shouted. "Arsenal makes a last-second goal to win the game, three to two..."

Spike growled and threw his beer across the crypt in frustration. Bloody hell! Manchester United had lost again. Then his subconscious picked up Dawn's involuntary squeal. "Somethin' to say, Niblet?" he asked, his voice sour.

Dawn looked like a toddler who had been caught with her hand in the cookie jar. "Oh, nothing," she said, too quickly.

"You were rooting for Arsenal, weren't you?" Spike said in disbelief.

"Well, yeah. The guys on that team are way cuter than the guys on United's..."

Hee! That's great. I think you probably got both of their voices just right, which is amazing considering a) it's so short and b) it's hilarious.

LOL Thanks! I'm tired of writing angst and darkfic, so I thought this would be fun. Originally, it was going to be Angel and Buffy watching a hockey game, but I don't know who Angel roots for--then I realized that it works with any pairing and any sport.

And of course, a fifteen-year-old girl will choose her sports team by how cute the guys are.

*sigh* Back to the darkfic. It doesn't help that the Challenge100's challenge this week is to write about something unsettling. *grumble*

LOL.

I used to root for teams based on their hotness quotient too.
