...Or Maybe Midgets. 5/10

[ffutures]

Here's the next part of my BtVS / Time Bandits crossover Drabble sequence:



5 - China, 1900

Halfreck looks down from the balcony and says "Hmmm... familiar faces!"

Anyanka joins her, saying "The midget thieves and the boy? Did you ever find out who they are?"

"D'Hoffryn told me last year. They're looters, the Supreme Being's chasing them through time from one disaster to another. The boy's a stray they picked up in the future. I think he wished for adventure."

"So if they're around," Anyanka says nervously, "the Supreme Being could appear?"

Below a midget says "We've got twelve hours before the Boxers burn the town. Head for the temple first..."

"We'd better pack," says Halfreck.



I think I'm going to post all of the stories to livejournal before I post them elsewhere.

I didn't understand where you were going with this when you started, but I think I'm beginning to get it now.

It's a pity that Anyanka wasn't around at the time of Ancient Greece. That was always my favourite part of Time Bandits.

The script for the ancient Greece portion contained the description:

“The Greek Warrior removes his helmet revealing himself to be Sean Connery or an actor of equal but cheaper stature.”

I guess Sean like the idea, and agreed to work cheap.
