-'Pirates of the Hellmouth.'-
A response to the 'Xander didn't dress up like a soldier for Halloween' challenge.
Pairings/Crossovers: You'll see, its pretty damn obvious if you think about it
A/N: Something a little lighter for Pete M.
Disclaimers: I don't own anything relating to Buffy, Angel, or Pirates of the Caribbean.
Dedicated to Eddie.

Xander stood outside 1630 Revello Drive, waiting for the girls to answer the doorbell. He tugged on the backsides of his pants. 'Stupid pantaloons are giving me a wedgie.' He thought to himself. He had looked himself over in the mirror several times before actually deciding to go out. He felt kinda silly in the get up, although he reasoned he didn't look that bad. The outfit Ethan had 'selected' for him didn't look as bad as he thought it would. The light tan pantaloons were a little tight in the rear, but actually felt comfortable. The light gray button down shirt and darker tan vest he was wearing didn't really feel like something a pirate would wear, but in the shops mirror, he felt that the overall package looked decent enough. What actually made the most difference to him was the sword hanging by his left side and the toy gun he got from Williamsburg on his left side. It made him look more like an '18th century man of action' than just '18th century man.'
"Xander, come in."
"Buffy! Lady of Buffdom, Duchess of Buffonia, I am in awe!" Xander bowed down infront of her. "I have come to pledge my eternal allegiance."
Buffy smiled at Xander and curtsied. "Why thank you, kind sir. But wait till you see..."
They turned to look up the stairs at Willow. She has put on a ghost sheet with 'BOO!' on the front in large bold letters.
"...Willow the friendly ghost."
Xander smiled and looked at his oldest friend. "Hey, Will! That's a fine boo you got there."
//////////////////////////
The three walked towards Sunnydale High School. Willow and Buffy were walking ahead talking to each other. Xander tried to include himself in the conversation. "So, what's on the agenda for the womanly inclined?"
Buffy spun around with a sly grin. "The womanly inclined are talking of womanly things of which men have no business my good sir."
Xander flinched in mock pain. "Girl talk, got it."
Willow smiled. "Youre darn tootin! Seeing, as we are women and all."
Xander decided to fall behind a couple more steps, as to keep out of the conversation for his own sanity.
Willow watched as he slowly got out of hearing range.
"So, do you think Angel will like your costume?"
Buffy smiled sweetly. "I hope so. I mean this is what he was into wasn't it? He'll like it wont he?"
"Oh, I'm sure he will. No man can resist Regular Buffy, or, or Lady Buffy."
Buffy noticed how Willow's face fell. "It's ok Will, he'll come around. You just gotta show him the real you. The 'sexy-now' Willow. Not the 'boo' Willow."
"I just..."
"Listen alright. I was Hemery High's queen of the hormone charged boys. I KNOW how to make a high school boy fall on his knees for you."
"Obviously."
Buffy's voice dropped an octave. "Willow."
"Sorry. Sorry. It's just why wont he notice me? I mean, he OBVIOUSLY chose that costume to match yours. He, he even talked to that Ethan guy for half an hour getting it 'just right' for you."
"He notices you Will, he just doesn't have the other brain cell to put it all together."
"HAHAHA."
Xander saw his two best friends laughing together in a laugh reserved only for women making fun of a man. He thought to himself, 'There is no good that can come from this.'
Buffy perked up. "I have an idea okay?"
Willow looked to her eagerly. "What?"
"If he is already dressed up like that, which by the way, what is he?"
"I think he called himself a common lowly blacksmith zombie killer."
"Wills, I think our boy is in need of some therapy, or at least some major brain surgery."
Willow nodded. "Agreed."
They both looked over their shoulders and snickered. Xander groaned pitifully and looked skyward.
"Anyway, Snyder is going to pair us up to take out the kids, remember?"
"Yep, he gave the whole 'If one of you fouls up, its both of you going to detention."
"Sooo, if we switch costumes, then Snyder would probably pair you up with Xander?"
Willow flushed pink with anticipation. "Really, you'd do that for me?"
Buffy smiled for her friend. "Yeah, besides, if I wear the costume you got underneath that little sheet, I'm SURE to get Angels attention."
The girls happy squealing and noises of happiness did little to raise Xander's hopes. "They're planning something...that's not good."
////////////////
Xander looked over at the general gathering infront of the school. He was surprised to see so many pirate costumes. Even that weird kid Andrew was dressed as a pirate, not to mention about twenty or thirty of the kids. "Ethan was right. I guess pirate costumes ARE in this year."
Larry came by dressed as another pirate and interrupted his musings.
"What are you dressed as Harris, anal-retentive ass pirate?"
"Larry, you realize that you are also dressed like a pirate and that you are very talkative about men's asses?"
Larry leaned in closer and shoved him. "Where's your bodyguard, Harris? Curling her hair?"
Xander flinched. Larry laughed in Xander's face and then left. Xander pointed his Williamsburg replica gun at him, but then just dismissed him.

Buffy and Willow exited the girls' bathroom. Willow had switched into Buffy's old costume, while Buffy had switched into Willow's costume.
"SUMMERS!!" Buffy turned around to face Snyder. "What in God's name are you wearing? You cant wear that infront of children you little harlot!"
"Wait, Principal Snyder, there is a good explanation for this."
"There is?"
Willow looked questioningly at Buffy. "There is?"
"There IS. I just haven't finished putting on the rest of my costume." Buffy turned to pull out the discarded ghost costume. "You know how it is, getting all hot under you costume, so I thought that I would wear something light to..."
Willow jumped in. "Take the edge off."
Buffy nodded quickly. "...take the edge off."
Snyder shook his head. "You know what, never mind, I don't want to hear about it." He turned and pointed to a group of children idly playing in the front lawn. "This is your group, Summers. You will be paired up with Levinson. No need to speak to them. The last thing they need is your influence. Just bring them back in one piece and I won't expel you. Come with me Rosenburg."
Buffy knelt down to the kids. "Hi."
Snyder abruptly turned around. "Ah, ah!"
