« What do you think ? » asked Cordelia as she twirled to show her outfit to it’s best advantage in the middle of her living room.
« It’s nice. » Xander answered absentmindedly from his seat on the couch as he looked anxiously at the clock. Willow and Buffy were already at the Bronze by now and he wanted to join them. Plus he was looking foward to to the new fruit drinks they were serving, those were worth the the trip to the Bronze by themselves. His pleasant musings were cut short by Cordelia’s indignant screams.
« Nice ? Just nice ? That’s all you have to say ? » Her voice was getting shriller by the second.
« I’m wearing an ensemble taken directly from the catwalks of Milan. An outfit that costs more than all the things that could be called your wardrobe at a stretch, and all you can say is that it’s nice ? » Xander was sure that anyone else but Cordelia would be a scary shade of puce after such a tirade, but his girlfriend just looked as perfect as ever, except from the angry look she was sending his way. If looks could kill, he’d be dead in a millisecond.
Xander’s eyes got wide and fear lurked in them. He seemed to realise the amount of trouble he was in.
« What ? Nice is a good word ! It means a good thing. It’s a nice word ! I mean, what word should I use ? » He wasn’t proud , his panicking mind couldn’t come up with something better. He knew that when it came to fashion Cordelia was dead serious, and he just made a huge faux pas. With a long suffering sigh he resigned himself to a whole lot of groveling.

« Okay, that’s it. I’m not taking another step until I get ice cream. I was promised ice cream and I want it now damn it ! » Xander said as he dropped all the bags he was carrying on the nearest bench.
« But Xander, there’s still more stores to go to. There’s thirty percent off on shoes at the next one. Thirty percent Xander. Thirty. » Buffy had her hands on her hips and a glazed look in her eyes.
« Buffy’s right, we’re in a shopping groove, we can’t stop now. » Willow had her fair share of bags in the ones Xander was carrying for them.
« No, no, I’m putting my foot down. There was clothes and make-up and shoes and more clothes and lingerie, okay that one I didn’t mind much, but there was girly stuff everywhere. I need a break. I need ice cream. »
The girls finally agreed and Xander got his ice cream. He ate it slowly, keeping his mind away from all the shopping left to do. Next time, he’ll ask for ice cream and a whole lunch for the grueling job the girl had drafted him into.

Giles has always been our mentor, our guide. Oh, he’s our friend too, but I think we all look up to him. I know I’ve been looking for his approval ever since I’ve met him. And as we get older and grow into the adults we’re meant to be, I think we owe him a lot, I know I do.
He’s been my model of what a real man should be, a gentleman. He trusts me and at the same time pushes me to think further, to look at everything before making a decision. I think I became more confident of my place in the world because of his support. His opinions, his views, his ideas, all that helped shape me into the man I am today.
I didn’t always agree or see eye to eye with him, but I’ve always respected him and I knew he always respected me, even when he didn’t show it. His influence has been a big part of my life, of all our lives, and espacially of our growing up process. I could even say there’s a little part of him in everyone of us. And even if he’ll be across an ocean from us, his presence will always be felt strongly.

I’m wondering if I can get my diploma in demonology after all the time I’ve spent fighting the forces of evil. It feels like I did a whole course load of stuff about demons. Demons 101, Hellmouth 101, 102 and 103. I even did Vampire History and Things That Go Pouf And Shower You With Slime, Goo or Dust. The last one was particularly messy, and I had to take the course over and over again.
I can’t say that I know everything about demons. I espacially know about the ones I encountered, the ones I had to fight against. The information about them was crucial for survival, that always makes me want to learn for some reason. But the rest of the demon population is still a mystery to me. But after all that time spent fighting things bigger and stronger than me, I guess I became a demon expert after a fashion.
Or maybe I’m just a survival expert.

« Thank you Mandy. I’m Xander Harris here on the red carpet at the 78th Academy Awards for the arrival of the stars. »
« What was she thinking ? That puffy thing looks like it could be used as a floating device. At least she’ll have a pillow if things get boring. »
« Gorgeous as always. That necklace makes her look like a queen. Perfect. »
« That’s what you call making an exit when you flash that much skin as you walk away. »
« Black and white and a three buttons suit, you can’t go wrong with that. It’s a classic and always in style. »
« It seems there’s even pockets on her gown. I’m not sure why or what to say about it all. The dress is beautiful, but pockets make it a little plebeian. »
« Perfect and wonderful. She’s absolutely glowing in that gown. And those earrings, fabulous. »
« Unfortunatly it’s a miss for her. The color clashes with her hair and add the collar and the waistband, it’s just not the best. »
« Velvet jacket on the red carpet, why not ? Looks very stylish. »
