Prologue by:
Carlos H.


Xander grinned as he let his friends into his apartment. Since he had begun to work minimum wage jobs, he had become good friends with a bunch of other workers from his various jobs. They joked that they just swapped jobs around; because often when one was fired then another of them took the position. There were eight of them in all.

They had started hanging out together after work and on the weekends. One tradition they had started was having slumber parties over Saturday nights once every two weeks. The person who had hosted the week before had to choose the movies they watched, usually with a theme connecting all the movies.

Xander loved his new group of friends. Once Willow, Oz, and Buffy had started college they had grown apart. Now Xander had friends who he did not feel dumb around. They were all guys in their little gang.

About ten minutes after the pizza had arrived and they had begun to stuff themselves, the doorbell rang. Xander was walking out of the kitchen holding more glasses than he could really balance.

"Hey Andrew, could you see whose at the door?" he asked as he tried to put down the glasses without spilling them.

"Sure," Andrew said as he got up and walked out of the living room over to the door. He opened it to see a tall, bleach blonde man standing in the doorway. "Who are you?" he asked.

The man looked surprised, but covered it quickly. "This is...Xander's house, isn't it?" he asked, slightly hesitating before using Xander's name.

"Yeah, it is..."

"I'm a friend of his that's just stopping by for a visit, you know. May I come in?"

"Oh, yeah, sure. Come in."

The man grinned as he walked past Andrew into the apartment. "Uh...Xander's just in the living room," Andrew said, following behind the blonde.

Xander looked up from Chester, with whom he had been having an in-depth conversation with about the merits of working at one grocery store over another in honor of the job he had started the day before. His eyes widened and his jaw dropped. "S-Spike? How did you get in here?"

Xander and Andrew looked over at Spike. Spike smirked with devilish delight. "You know, Harris, you really should tell your friends to be more careful about who they invite into your house." The peroxide blond menace looked around the apartment and found quite the view. Spike saw a couple getting it on in a corner, two guys getting drunk, and lastly he saw a peroxide blond beauty writing something. "Well, it looks like Nummy has an interesting new batch of friends," The peroxide blond thinks.

"What are you doing here?"

"I need a place to crash. I figured you have a microwave I can use, so I thought I'd stop by."

"What's wrong with your crypt?"

"It's being fumigated," Spike deadpanned. "Now, where is your kitchen?" he asked, as he looked around. He saw the door to the kitchen and went through it.

"Okay," Xander said. "From now on, no one invites anyone in without asking me first."

You in the sea
On a decline
Breaking the waves
Watching the lights go down
Letting the cables sleep
Whatever you say it's alright
Whatever you do it's all good
Whatever you say it's alright
Silence is not the way
We need to talk about it
If heaven is on the way
We'll wrap the world around it
If heaven is on the way
If heaven is on the way
I'm a stranger in this town
I'm a stranger in this town
If heaven is on the way
If heaven is on the way
I'm a stranger in this town
I'm a stranger in this town
