"You're doing it wrong."
Xander snarled at the old, cantankerous next-door neighbor. Stupid Cleveland with its stupid snow and stupid Slayer House with its stupid long driveway. He much preferred the Hellmouth to be in California.
Dr. Benjamin Franklin Pierce MD-Ret, 'just call me Hawkeye,' grinned at the hapless man that had slipped on the stupid ice. Xander wondered if the veteran had dressed for the cold just to come outside and harass his new neighbors.
Xander ignored the old man and stumbled to his feet. He slipped again but this time a strong hand on his elbow stopped his descent. Xander looked down at one of the newer Slayers.
Kathleen smiled at him, gently took the shovel from his hands and shooed him back to the house.
Xander heard Hawkeye mutter, "Then again, maybe not." Then the old man proceeded to give the young, pretty Kathleen several helpful hints on how to correctly shovel snow.
The old man certainly knew how to shovel it.
