Non of the Characters are mine they all belong to universal; story is mine.
Hard Days of Work
Prologue ish?
It was late evening and Joxer was complaining that he hadn't eaten anything in the last hour.
"Xena, come on, can we at least take a rest?" he complained.
"No, Joxer. I told Gabrielle I'd meet her back in the tavern a couple hours ago," Xena said roughly.
"Yeah, but Gabby knows that things come up," Joxer pleaded.
"More like annoying friends who always get in trouble," Xena muttered.
"What was that?" Joxer said half-mindedly.
"Nothing!" Xena was annoyed at this point.
"Well, I'm hungry, I won't stray far. I'm going to look for some berries or something." Joxer whined.
"Suit yourself. If you get lost, I am not coming to find you." Xena didn't care, honestly she could do without Joxers' made up stories. He doesn't tell stories like Gabrielle and she just wanted to hear Gabrielle after this hard day.
"Fine. I'm Joxer the Mighty, I don't need help anyways," he sauntered off.
"Finally," Xena sighed, "Didn't enjoy that either did ya Argo?"
Argo neighed and Xena laughed. At least she can get to Gabrielle in peace now.
