A silly meme to lighten the air (swunked from
ani_bester)
Tell me about a story I never wrote, (eg, "The one where Uncle Scrooge McDuck meets Lucy van Pelt") and I'll write you a snippet from it.
Snippets will be 100-500 words, unless they're not.
Rules:
1. One per customer
2. Your request should begin: "The one where..."
4. Keep to DCU, Marvel, BSG Voyager, Buffy, classic comi characters, or Harry Potter, since I'm no good with much of anything else.

The goblins relaxed visibly. They never liked being misled, but they could understand a security check, especially from a prospective client. Although what this dumpy little duck could offer...
"...I think we would be speaking of about eight cubic yards of gold."
And there was a silence.
Scrooge McDuck went on: "However, the gold is incidental. What I really want is putting a specific coin where a certain sorceress cannot get at it."
"A sorceress, you say, sir? A particular person?"
"Oh, yes, very particular indeed! Name of Magica de Spell."
The two goblins did a take, then looked at each other.
"Sir," said the taller, "we may have struck a conflict of interests..."
"You see, sir, Miss Magica de Spell is an old and valued customer, as were her mother and grandmother before her. Her family account goes back to 1672."
"BC," added the other goblin.
