Primeval drabble: Fireworks

Title: Fireworks

A/N: For the P100 challenge 340: Fireworks. Part of my Making An Impression drabble series. Thanks go to Fred for looking it over for me.


April flinched when she heard the crashes coming from her boss' office. He was in a foul mood and that always meant someone had pissed him off... idiots, didn't they realise Philip Burton was not a man to be crossed lightly.

She smiled when the crashes and smashes continued. How could she have forgotten that Philip's idiot of a crush had married his 'arch enemy'? That would certainly explain the fireworks and she sat down to wait, ready to comfort her boss when he calmed down.

Then maybe, he'd realise what was in front of him and forget his plans.

I don't know, April. I have a feeling he's still going to ignore you... Definitely fireworks there!

You're probably right, but April will keep trying. Hee, Burton doesn't like being thwarted.

Thanks for reading.

Very nice look from April's perspective. Although she can be alluring, I don't think she'll be enough to take Philip's mind off Connor and James. Nice one!

Good to know April worked OK. No, she's not got much of a chance, but she'll keep trying.

Thanks for reading.

Nice to see Philip's pissed off! He deserves it.

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2013-11-11 07:03 pm (UTC)(link)
He does, he really does... but it is what he does next that should worry the boys ;)

Thanks for looking at it for me and for reading.

Oh, April. Be careful what you wish for. I really don't think the tender mercies of Philip Burton are what you imagine them to be. If I were you, I'd hide under the desk until the storm blows over.
I love this perspective. *g*

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2013-11-11 07:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Hee, true, although I doubt April looks at it like that. Sensible advise.

Glad you liked it and thanks for reading.

Good luck, April :-S

Hee, she'll need it.

Thanks for reading.

I do feel a bit sorry for April in this. Though only a tiny bit!

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2013-11-12 07:41 pm (UTC)(link)
So do I, she's not thinking straight about Burton.

Thanks for reading.

Sorry, April, you can't compete with Connor, but good luck in trying (nobly) to distract Philip

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2013-11-12 07:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Not as far as Philip is concerned, but any distraction would be useful.

Thanks for reading.

[identity profile] lsellersfic.livejournal.com 2013-11-16 03:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Sadly, I suspect not.

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2013-11-16 03:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Unfortunately I suspect you're correct.

Thanks for reading.

Interesting perspective, but not sure it will worl, April.

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2013-11-17 02:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Probably not, but April can live in hope.

Thanks for reading.

I think you're out of luck, there, April! ;-)

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2013-11-17 09:59 pm (UTC)(link)
I think you're right, but April can still hope ;)

Thanks for reading.

[identity profile] stealingpennies.livejournal.com 2013-11-18 02:20 pm (UTC)(link)

*snicker* Yes, yes. April and Philip totally deserve each other!

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2013-11-18 07:58 pm (UTC)(link)
They really do, don't they *vbeg*

Thanks for reading.

[identity profile] deinonychus-1.livejournal.com 2013-12-06 08:30 pm (UTC)(link)
I doubt anything could distract Philip from his plans!

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2013-12-06 09:10 pm (UTC)(link)
You're probably right, but April can still hope.

Thanks for reading.

April is in for a rude awakening, if she's waiting to get noticed by Philip.

[identity profile] knitekat.livejournal.com 2014-03-03 11:11 pm (UTC)(link)
True, but she can hope.

Thanks for reading.
