"Hi, this is Xander Harris... well, his answering machine. I'm either too busy to come to the phone or I'm off slaying… laundry or delivering pizzas or something. Please leave your message after th…" Click. Beeeeeeeeeep.

"Hey, Xander, I'm just calling to invite you to another fun night of research at the Magic Box. Something ooky is stealing people's pets down around South and Vine and it's leaving the bones in weird little piles in the park. We need to find out what it is before it starts stealing babies. Come by about seven, Giles is springing for pizza. Oh, and Giles says to ask you to let Spike know if you see him, but it's not like you're friends or anything, right, so I don't know what that's about. Seven o'clock. Don't forget!"

Clunk.

"Spike?" Yawn. "Was that Buffy on the phone?"

Bedsprings creak.

"Don't know, luv, and I don't care. She's probably wanting you to go out and get yourself beaten senseless again for no good reason except to keep her new shoes clean."

"Hey, we agreed. No dissing the…"

"Personally, I’d rather fuck you senseless, but if you're not up for it again so soon, I suppose I could burn off all this excess energy killing demons for her royal Buffness."

"No, no, I think I can force myself to… Oh! Oh, yeah, Spike, that’s… Just right th-ah!"

"Xander? While I'm fairly certain you're not in any immediate danger, even if you are doing what I think you're doing with Spike, and please God may I never have cause to think that again… Ah, where was I? Oh, yes. While I don't imagine you're lying in a bleeding, broken heap on your kitchen floor, Willow and Buffy are not so easily convinced and are therefore on their way to save you. I'm sure that you and Spike would rather be dressed and vaguely vertical when they burst in to rescue you from - I believe giant mutant killer roaches won the straw poll, despite my abstention from the vote. Well, I just thought it advisable to warn you they were on their way, fully armed and-"

Clunk.

"Oh no… Spike? Spike, wake up! Damn clingy vampire! What are you, part octopus? Let me go! Wake up and get some pants on before Willow and Buffy get here. Did I mention I gave Willow a spare key, just in case? Come on, come on, get up already!"

Thud thud.

"Xander? Are you in there? Are you okay?"

rattle rattle clink…

Heeee, you're very evil, but you know that, don't you? To leave the boys there, and us worried about Buffy and Willow bursting in with weapons. But glad to see that they've moved (well beyond!) that first kiss stage. I'm definitely looking forward to the next installment in the series.

Eeensy thing -- Buffy using the word fancy ("fancy another fun night") sticks out a bit, as the rest of her speech is good American-speak.

Thank you! *twirls evil moustache and cackles gleefully*

And ack! Um... *wracks brain*
...
Okay, amended. Thanks! *smooch*

[piratepurple.livejournal.com]

Eep! Busted!

[darkhavens.livejournal.com]

Hee! Yis! Out of the closet and into the spotlight. :D

Thanks!

[outsideth3box.livejournal.com]

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeee!

[darkhavens.livejournal.com]

:D Thanks!

[fanbot.livejournal.com]

And you present me with yet another reason to love you!


And the link to part two that is on part one leads you ... to part one.

[darkhavens.livejournal.com]

*head desk* Thank you. This is what comes of not writing for three simultaneous deadlines until there are only four hours left to go. o.O

Thanks! *smooch*

[inkingwords.livejournal.com]

These were great!!!!

[darkhavens.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I love playing with dialogue. :D

[savoytruffle.livejournal.com]

hee! busted!

[darkhavens.livejournal.com]

So very busted! Yis!
Thanks. :D

[epona34.livejournal.com]

Wonderful.
I love the message on Xander's answering machine.
Thanks for sharing.

[darkhavens.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

I've been cut off by my own machine so many times while recording a new message, so I figured Xander might have the same problem. *g*

[tabaqui]

BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaahahhahaaahaha!!!
Giant roaches!
Wheeeeeeee!

Love it.

[darkhavens.livejournal.com]

Yis! You know Buffy and Willow would egg each other on to come up with totally impossible reasons for Xander not answering his phone or coming to meetings. And they figure he's a guy, so he's not the tidiest of neatniks, so he probably has roaches and this being Sunnydale... And then the Praying Mantis lady would get a mention and they'd be out the door so fast! :D

Thankee.

[tabaqui]

Oh, absolutely. In their shoes? I would feel the same, i'm sure.
:)

[kitty-poker1.livejournal.com]

What are you, part octopus?

LMAO! I'd chide you on the cliffie but I think I can wait another week to find out what happens next. I think. *g*

[darkhavens.livejournal.com]

Thank you! You know Spike's got to be a snuggler, and with vamp strength there'd be no getting away from him. *g*

You know I posted part three (http://darkhavens.livejournal.com/140513.html#cutid1), right? *nudge nudge* ;)

[soraidh.livejournal.com]

I love it. I love that it's Giles who's warning them. I love that Buffy is obvlious in the first message, going so far as to comment on how they're not friends even though Giles--her watcher thinks he'd see Spike. I'm looking forward to reading more!

[darkhavens.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I think Giles wanted to make sure nobody got staked/blamed/hurt. He knows Buffy - the Slayer - has a hair trigger temper around vampires, and I'm sure he figured biting would have been a part of the boys fun and games.

Buffy's just Buffy - oblivious to anything not directly related to her or to slayage. She has the whole world to worry about! *g*

[sablerose2.livejournal.com]

Oh no you did not stop there!!! That's just too mean come on need more!!

[darkhavens.livejournal.com]

Part three was posted last week, you must have missed it. ;) It's linked at the bottom of this fic post.

Thanks for reading and commenting! :D

[batmanvinnie.livejournal.com]

LOL
Love it! Love that Giles is helping them out. Very nice

[darkhavens.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

I think Giles believes he's simply doing damage control, but he's on their side really. *g*

[electricalgwen.livejournal.com]

"dressed and vaguely vertical" - heee!
Fun fun. Thud.

[darkhavens.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

Spike always seems to be leaning and Xander slouches, so I figure 'vaguely vertical' covers a multitude of sins. ;)

[a-phoenixdragon.livejournal.com]

Damn!!

Can't a vampire and a geek get laid without being pestered back to life and half to death?! Geez...

LOL!! Another good romp, hon!

[darkhavens.livejournal.com]

Thanks! they can't have five minutes peace without someone trying to kill them or drag them out of bed. Such a shame. *g*

[acostilow.livejournal.com]

Can I just say that I love you? 'Cuz, you know, I love you. :D

*dances off the read the rest*

[darkhavens.livejournal.com]

Hee! Thanks!
*dances off to answer the rest* (so so very behind on the fb front. *shame*)
