MCA #0, Thursday Morning

[needsaparrot]

"Shut up." Xander was not talking to a frog. At all.

Okay, maybe it'd be more accurate to say Xander was not speaking to the frog. What? Jeremiah kept staring at him.

"Did Giles put you up to this? Dawn?" Xander had a unique definition of 'not speaking,' yes.

"Rideep?" //Cricketplz?//

"I'm so not having this discussion with you. And not just because I don't speak Frog."

Xander wasn't talking to a frog; he was putting a frog tank in the bedroom.

"No sneaky math at all," Willow said. "In fact, I even took the numbers out just for you. There's also pictures."

With that Willow turned on her Power Point presentation (http://show.zoho.com/public/willbedone/bridge-presentation-ppt2). She had it set so that it advanced on its own though folks at home could do so by clicking the arrows at the bottom.

She kept a careful eye on Xander so he couldn't run away before the presentation was over.

Though his eyebrows drew further and further together with each slide, shockingly, Xander managed to keep his mouth shut all the way up to number 9.

"Bridge isn't a consenting adult," he said quietly, when that one appeared.

"Depends on where he lives," Willow pointed out. "Besides, it's not like he doesn't have full knowledge of the Xander relationship package. Ergo, informed consent."

[needsaparrot]

"It's not the informed part; it's the adult part."

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"He's more mature than you are," Willow replied with an eyeroll. She then nibbled on popcorn.

[needsaparrot]

Xander sighed. "That's... probably true. But it's not supposed to be."

"Are you going to give me grief for accurate quoting?" Willow asked. "Because I already got grief about taking quotes out of context from someone whose last name rhymes with Tevensie. I'm not going to put up with grief-giving for accurate quotage in return."

[needsaparrot]

"No, I'm just saying Mr. Lyman's right." Xander eyed slide 10. "And so is someone whose last name rhymes with Tevensie. On the respecting decisions front."

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Mr. Lyman said you should go for it," Willow replied. "And Peter managed to out-British Giles. I didn't realize that was possible."

[needsaparrot]

"Mr. Lyman said the thing about consenting adults. And also something about hookers. Which I'm not planning on, but if the guideline is potential, well, it's always possible."

Willow frowned at him. "Maybe we should go back to the pie chart."

[needsaparrot]

"I saw the pie chart. I think your statistical sample may be a little skewed there, though." Willow wasn't the only one who could give Looks.

Which was right about the time the screen flipped over to Slide 11.

"I included the input from Mr. GOB!" Willow replied, defensively.

[needsaparrot]

Xander was to busy staring at the one that started Damn Frakking Right I do to offer an opinion on how relevant GOB's opinion was, though.

Willow was quiet, because she knew when a BFF needed thinky time.

[needsaparrot]

"That wasn't fair," Xander said when the slide moved on, and he'd swallowed past the tightness in his throat.

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"I am nothing if not thorough," Willow replied.

[needsaparrot]

Xander said nothing while he let the rest of the show play through to the end.

"You can't take away my twinkies, y'know," he finally pointed out, voice still strained. "Unless you steal my phone."

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"I am prepared to fight dirty if I have to," Willow said. Then, mostly to herself, added, "Which is what I needed to do to get a quote out of Peter but we're talking about you now."

[needsaparrot]

"We could talk about you and Peter being dir-- no. No, we can't."

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"This would be my point," Willow agreed.

[needsaparrot]

"It's a good presentation," Xander offered, reaching for the popcorn bowl.

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"I'm proud of the clip art," Willow said. She put the bowl between them so they could share. "Did you see I made the frog purple? Also note the overall green color scheme."

[needsaparrot]

"The pie chart, though statistically questionable, also shiny."

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Are you really challenging my spreadsheet?" Willow asked. "Because that sort of talk means I'll have to ask you to step outside, and you know that won't go well for you."
