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.

"It wasn't him. He was possessed." No, that wasn't an answer. Then again, enjoyed would probably not be the word he'd choose if he was going to answer that.

"Ahhhh," Willow said, getting it. "Sucks how often that happens around us."

[needsaparrot]

Xander snorted. "You know, I actually thought I'd broken my streak there, for a while."

"At least Bridge himself isn't a demon," Willow said. She tucked her feet up under her and picked at a stray thread on her skirt. "And... I think being snuggly with happiness is okay. Provided you're not Angel."

[needsaparrot]

"And there's a nice unpainy example of a seventeen year old dating a much older guy..."

"My boyfriend's from World War II," Willow replied. "So as far as the two people in this room are concerned, I win."

[needsaparrot]

"Your boyfriend's three years younger than you, not nine, and as far as anybody knows, you're actually the same age."

"Hey, this is all seventeen," Willow said, pointing to herself. "It's just my mind that's older and if we're counting that then I really should've included a slide about the whole mental maturity thing since it does seem to be a leitmotif."

[needsaparrot]

"This is all twenty-six. Including the brain." Xander pointed to himself. "I may not be a great grown-up, but I am one."

"So?"

[needsaparrot]

"So I shouldn't have kissed him."

"Yes, because when I think 'Xander Harris' I think 'just like that creepy guy who kept staring at me on the swings until my BFF threw a thermos lid at him,'" Willow replied with an eyeroll.

[needsaparrot]

"The point is I don't want to think that when I think 'Xander Harris.'"

"Are you attracted to Bridge because he's Bridge, or because of the boytoy factor?" Willow asked.

[needsaparrot]

Xander's expression when she said the word boytoy either answered that question or indicated that the popcorn he'd already eaten had decided to crawl up his esophagus and throttle him from within.

Willow, ever helpful, patted him on the back to help prevent choking.

[needsaparrot]

He facepalmed. As you do. "To sum this situation up, you think I'm being stupid."

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Pretty much." Willow nibbled more popcorn. "But since I'm a good friend, I said it with a pie chart."

[needsaparrot]

"So if the subject is being stupid--" Which he wasn't actually admitting to, but for the the purposes of argument... "As far as the two people in this room are concerned, who do think's gonna win?"

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

Willow smiled up at him. "All you. Congratulations."

[needsaparrot]

"Just so we're clear on that."

"Crystal." Willow handed him some popcorn as a prize.

[needsaparrot]

"Yay, me."

"Wanna watch Bitter Woman reruns now?" Willow asked.

[needsaparrot]

Yeah, that would about suit his remaining mental facilities. "Please?"
