When Alan opened the Official-looking notice, he never expected what he read. His son found him when he came home for dinner, still sitting at the table, staring at the papers.
"Dad? Is something wrong?" Don was worried, normally his Dad would be finishing up dinner, but the Kitchen was dark and there were no food smells.
"I - I got this notice in the mail today."
"Oh yeah? What's it about?"
"You know my youngest sister, your Aunt Rachel?"
"Yeah, yeah, the Black Sheep of the Eppes Family! Whenever her name is mentioned everyone gets all quiet and changes the subject. What about her?"
"She died."
"Oh man, Dad, I'm so sorry! What happened?"
"Something about gangs on PCP and accidents with Barbecue forks. Apparently, she's been living just down the road all these years and we never knew! Anyway, she and her husband left me something."
"They both died? Gangs with Barbecue Forks? That makes no sense at all! When's the Service?"
"It's already happened. Last week, apparently. But she mentioned me specifically in her Will, which is strange, because we never did get on all that well."
"Oh yeah, what did she leave you?"
"Her son, Alexander Lavelle Harris."
Author's Note: Crossovers own my soul! Can't you just see a 16 or 17 year old Xander living with the Eppes?! He's got all these weird, superstitious beliefs, and is weirdly independent for a teenager. Plus, he has this unsophisticated but absolutely vicious fighting style, and doesn't seem to understand the concept of pulling his punches. And, to top it all off, he's absolutely fearless. He just doesn't seem to understand that humans can be a threat to him. It never even occurs to him. And he's paranoid and a trouble-magnet. Poor Don.
