After a night of celebration (i.e. drinking) it was decided that it was too late for Xander to go home and so he was sleeping on the sofa. The actual decision-making process was very interesting indeed, you see Buffy said to Xander that she…wait, that's a different chapter. Oh well, that's a pity because it was a really interesting story. Anyway let's start this chapter…
"I can't sleep." Said Buffy.
"Is that my fault?" Asked Xander.
"Well no, but…"
"But?"
"Yes but."
"There's always a but."
"What's wrong with a but?"
"Buts are always bad."
"Anyway…" Said Buffy with a roll of her eyes.
"I saw that."
"Saw what?"
"You rolled your eyes."
"So?" Said Buffy with another roll of her eyes.
"You did it again!"
"Anyway…"
""I can't believe you rolled your eyes at me."
"Anyway…I've forgotten what I was going to say."
"It started with a but."
"Oh yeah…but it was indirectly your fault."
"I love your but." Said Xander with a smile.
"Excuse me?"
"How is it indirectly my fault?"
"Well…" Buffy paused to take a long breath, "I can't sleep because I've had too much to drink…"
"You had like two glasses."
Buffy ignored him and carried on, "…I drank too much because we were celebrating. We were celebrating because you got a new job. Therefore I can't sleep because you got a new job and so you are indirectly responsible."
"Well done Sherlock."
"Are you mocking me?"
"No, I'm indirectly mocking you."
"It might have been the cheese."
"It's always the cheese."
"Why do you always defend the cheese?"
"Why do you always attack the cheese?"
"Why do you always answer my question with another question?"
"I don't…or do I?"
"There are times when you can be very annoying."
"Really early in the morning is usually one of them."
"Hey it's not my fault you're awake."
"Yes it is!"
"Okay maybe it is my fault but that doesn't mean I should be blamed."
"Yes it does."
"Well…err…shut up Xander!"
"Nice comeback."
"Nightmares!"
"What?"
"That's why I attack cheese. Cheese gives you nightmares."
"That's just a myth."
"Says you."
"Me and the National Cheese Appreciation Society."
"NCAS?"
"Actually no. NCAS is the National Caterpillar Appreciation Society."
Buffy laughs.
"I wouldn't laugh if I were you NCAS is a very powerful group." Cautioned Xander.
"What are they going to do? Tickle me to death?"
"You do realise that NCAS is made up of people not caterpillar, right?"
"…Yeah, of course."
"This conversation has gotten very weird indeed."
"That's what happens when you don't get enough sleep."
"Yeah you're right, maybe we should try and do something about that." Said Xander.
Neither one of them moved or said anything. Although I suppose you can hardly say something and not move. I could have just said that they didn't work but then I suppose you might think they could have been suddenly paralysed for some reason.
"Hey do you want to watch a movie?" Asked Buffy.
"Actually I want to sleep but since you have make sure that isn't going to happen anytime soon, why not?"
"What do you want to watch?"
"Something with a lot of violence."
"Sleepless in Seattle?"
"Okay, what version have you seen?"
Author's note: For some reason some of you think I am mentally unstable or suffer from some kind of mental illness…I don't know why. Anyway let me assure you that I am of sound mind and I even have a certificate to prove it. Now if you will excuse me I have to go and take my postal exam to see if I can become a US postal worker. Now where did I put my handgun…?
