Curses and Blasphemy
Summary: A Xapril Ficlet inspired by the Maria McMorbid Comic, Blasphemy, by Rimfrost on DeviantArt. Set between chapter 20 & 22 of Memories.
April's head dropped to the surface of the bar as she felt her eyes drooping. She had been up for 37 hours straight doing the annual Inventory and she was so tired she could hardly move. She was about to go to sleep right there in the bar when a sudden thought hit her. She lifted her head slightly and looked around the quiet bar. Xander hadn't been seen for almost 2 days and it wasn't like him to disappear for that long unless he'd screwed up badly.
Where is Xander? April thought as she looked around the bar. It was empty except for the cleaner and herself.
Just as she shrugged and put her head back on the table, she heard a crash coming from upstairs followed by a loud cry of 'SUNOVABITCH!'
April raised her eyebrow and wandered upstairs where she found her still-brooding husband on the floor in Hailie's room behind a huge pile of firecrackers. He was furiously taping them together and then stacking them behind him to make an even larger pile.
"Uh…" April mused, looking down at her husband. He looked up at her and basically froze. His hair was a complete mess and he had grease or something smudged under his eyes and down his brow. "What are you doing, honey?"
"Making a bomb," Xander replied curtly, going back to his firecrackers.
"Why?"
"To kill Justin Bieber."
April cupped her mouth to stifle her laughter. Her husband had completely lost his mind. It had grown legs and ran away screaming. But she couldn't help but laugh as he put the last of the fire cracker bombs behind him. Then he lifted them all up and put them under a poster of Justin Bieber that belonged to Hailie.
April turned around as Xander lit the fuses and hid behind Hailie's bed.
A loud bang echoed around the room and debris flew everywhere. As the dust and smoke settled, April and Xander both looked at the poster of Justin on the wall. It was still in tact, with only a few burn marks from the sparks on the crackers.
"Whoa," April breathed as she touched the poster. It didn't feel hot at all.
"CURSES! CURSES AND BLAPHEMY!" Xander cried from behind the bed.
April grinned. Justin Bieber was definitely indestructible.
