Hello everybody! Thank you for the reviews! I have such a huge list of requests. Keep em' coming! If you haven't noticed by know I'm picking any show from any decade. Doesn't matter if the show wasn't around during the btvs time period.
I do not own btvs or any show I reference
Bob the Builder
Xander gave himself a pat on the back for a job well done. He had finally finished the last of the repairs to the magic shop. Last night, some lesser big bad had attacked and knocked the door off its hinges.
"Can we fix it? Yes, we can." Xander chuckled to himself.
"Why thank you, Xander." Xander looked at Giles startled, hoping that he didn't hear.
"No problem G-man. You got something that needs fixin' and I'm the man for the job."
Xander grinned at the older gentleman and began putting his tools away.
"I admit, though, I have been rather curious about that for awhile." Giles began sweeping up debri and dust left over from the fight.
"About what?" Xander asked. He paused and looked up.
"Where on earth do you learn these sorts of things?"
"I guess it all started with Bob." Xander said thoughtlessly. He stiffened once he realized what he said.
"Bob?" Giles asked curiously.
"Well, yeah. Bob." Xander shifted uncomfortably.
"When did you meet Bob?" Giles stopped sweeping and looked at the younger man.
"I was a kid." Xander finished putting his tools away and avoided Giles' eyes. "He was a builder. The guy always had a 'can do' attitude." Xander paused for a moment, "Taught me about teamwork and stuff too. He was a really nice guy."
"Was? Oh dear, I'm sorry I didn't realize." Giles felt bad for overstepping his bounds. Obviously, this Bob fellow meant a lot to Xander and had passed away. Hopefully, peacefully.
"No, its okay you didn't know. Er, I got to go G-man. I'll see you and the girls later."
"Have a good day, Xander, and my condolences."
"Yeah okay." Xander muttered on his way out. A few blocks away from the magic shop he gave a huge sigh of relief.
"Thank god G-man doen't know much about cartoon shows. I would never live it down if he realized I was talking about Bob the Builder. Dignity and respect? Gone."
Especially, if Giles realized that the show had premiered two years ago.
