Chapter Five - What The Clucking Bell Is This?

"What are you talking about?" Said Buffy.

"I'm telling you it's true." Replied Xander.

"It couldn't be…could it? No, you're just joking, aren't you?"

"Believe what you want to believe."

"But…what a melon?"

"Yeah, I was shocked by that too. However the thing I don't understand is how they…you know…with the…thing."

"Oh, that's easy…what? We were bored one night and this is too much information, isn't it?"

"Any information about a naked woman is never too much."

"Well, I'm not telling you anyway."

"Aww…I'll just have to imagine it then."

"Hey!"

"Well, hello naked Buffy."

"Stop that!"

"What's that you say? You want to do your workout in the nude…well okay."

"Xander!"

"What?"

"Look at my face."

"Oh, sorry."

"No, I meant look at my face as in see that I have my serious face on and what did you think I meant?"

"Err…um…look at that squirrel."

"Don't change the subject."

"Come on…look at the squirrel. You know you want too."

"Well okay but then we are getting right back to the…aww, he's so cute."

"How do you know it is a he?"

"Is that a trick question?"

"Oh, he is a he…and what a he, he is."

"Err…Xander, that's his tail."

"Oh, of course it is…you know, I always wished I had a tail."

"Excuse me?"

"I said a wished I had a tail."

"Why?"

"Balance."

"You fall over a lot?"

"A surprisingly large amount."

"Yeah, what is up with that?"

"I don't know but if I had a tail…"

"Xander, you aren't going to get a tail."

"I boy can dream, can't he?"

"As long as it isn't about naked Buffy…Xander!"

"Sorry."

"What is it with men and naked women?"

"It's not just naked women, it is also scantily clad women."

"Men are weird."

"Nice generalisation there."

"I do my best."

"That's pretty good I think you might be ready for the great insulting Olympics."

"Thanks."

"No problem."

[Silence]

"Do you ever get the feeling that our conversations have little or no purpose?"

"You can't expect every conversation to have a purpose."

"Yeah, I suppose."

"In fact more conversations don't have a purpose."

"Probably."

"This isn't like television where everything is done for a reason."

"God, it would be hell if this was television."

"Yeah…but it would explain a lot."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, the whole vampires thing. That sounds like something that they would do on a television show."

"So, are you saying that our entire lives, our whole existence is solely for the purposes of television?"

[Silence]

"No, that just sounds ridiculous."
