What The Bloody Hell Is Going On Here?
Chapter 6 – We Can Work It Out
"Xander, I didn't mean what I said. It was a heat of the moment thing. I'm sorry. Call me." Buffy put down the phone.
"Not answering?" Asked Willow.
"Nope."
"He could be out."
"He also could be ignoring me for amazing insensitive comment."
"Yeah there is that."
"You're not helping."
"That's not true. I said you should go round and apologise."
"I did."
"It's not my fault that he wasn't there."
"He was."
"He was?"
"Yeah."
"I thought you said he wasn't."
"I said he didn't answer the door."
"Oh."
"Yeah, oh."
"Maybe he is ignoring you then."
"He has every right too."
"It can't have been that bad."
"It was."
"What exactly did you say?"
"I said something about him leaving Anya at the altar."
"That's not that bad."
"It isn't?"
"No, it is. I was just trying to console you."
"Thanks but I don't think there is much chance of that."
"Maybe he isn't upset at all. Maybe he is re-assessing his life and all that. Maybe he is…"
"Maybe he is thinking about how much I hurt him. Maybe he will ignore me for the rest of his life."
"He won't do that."
"How do you know?"
"It's Xander."
"Exactly. It's Xander."
"Okay stop doing that."
"What?"
"Copying what I say but putting a negative spin on it."
"I'm not putting a negative spin, I'm putting on a truth spin."
"You did it again."
"Willow I just said an incredibly hurtful thing to my best friend possibly causing him to never want to see me again and you're talking about that?"
"Okay I might have got my priorities slightly out of whack."
"Slightly?"
"Like you said Buffy, let's focus on the issue at hand."
"Right, focus. That's what we should do, focus."
"Yeah, focus."
"He's never going to see me again, is he?"
"Of course he is."
"How do you know that?"
"Trust me."
"Trust you? Why? What do you know?"
"Okay I think you are missing the whole premise of the trust me plan. You are meant to not ask questions and just, well, trust me."
"I don't like the sound of this plan."
"I could call it something different if you want."
"That's not what I meant."
"I know, just trying to inject some humour in lighten the mood."
"You call that humour?"
"Okay maybe not laugh-out-loud humour..."
"Maybe?"
"…but…I have forgotten what I was going to say."
"You were talking about the trust me plan."
"Oh yeah, just trust me."
Buffy was about to ask another question when the doorbell sounded.
"That's be the pizza I ordered." Said Willow.
"You ordered pizza?"
"Yeah all this moping around feeling sorry for yourself can make you very hungry."
"I hope you didn't order any garlic br…"
Buffy opened the door and froze at the sight of Xander.
"Xander!"
"Hi."
