Zookeeper

"Zookeeper?" Buffy asked looking at one of her best friends.
"You want her to be a zookeeper?" Willow asked.
Xander just shrugged as he handed over the newspaper classifieds. "You told me to look in the newspaper for a job for you. There aren't too many openings right now."
"Willow, please explain to Xander why that will not work," Buffy pleaded to her redheaded girlfriend.
"Vampire's will be able to smell Buffy from a mile away," Willow commented as she sat on the couch next to the Slayer.
"Unless she showers after work," Xander countered.
Thoughtfully, Willow looked up at the blonde. "No."
"Sweetie, you did say you wanted a job," the witch calmly stated.
"Right, a job, a real job, a desk job, not another job which would have me working with dangerous animals," Buffy argued.
"Quite right," Giles answered as he walked out of the kitchen. "We can't have Buffy risking herself anymore than necessary."
"Perfect," Xander sighed. "All of you are against me."
"Oh, bloody hell," Giles said as he looked over at his charge.
"Now, that's what I'm talking about," Xander exclaimed, watching his two best friends on the couch.
Making out on the couch, Buffy and Willow were oblivious to the other people in the room.
"Lord, why do they do this to us?" Giles asked.
"Keep your mouth shut GMan or leave the room," Xander said, pushing the Watcher away.
Just then the phone rang. "Thank goodness," Giles sighed happily as he left the living room.
"I am so happy Buffy asked me to help with her job search," Xander said dreamily.
Hearing this, Buffy and Willow stopped kissing and turned toward their friend.
Grinning, Xander motioned for them to continue. "Please, don't stop on my account."
"For goodness sake Xander, leave the poor girls alone," Giles yelled from the other room.
"Everyone has fantasies girls," Xander said, leaning back in his chair. "You are just fulfilling my deepest and darkest one."
"Did you really think we totally forgot you were in the room Xander?" Buffy asked, staring at the young man.
"Can't a boy dream?"
"Bye Xander," Willow answered. The two girls watched the boy walk stiffly out of the room. "Shall we continue?" the redhead asked.
"Abso-fucking-lutely," Buffy whispered as she quickly attacked Willow's lips.
