Chapter 2

"Uncle Jimmy? Aunt Tracey?" Xander shouted as he entered the house. "We're here! Me and the friends I told you I was bringing!" There was no answer. The keys were still on their hooks by the door and the coats were on their racks- very strange considering it was only forty some-odd degrees outside. Xander's eyes grew wide. He motioned for Kennedy, Willow and Faith (who still had Buffy) to him. He began to whisper: "All right- I've only been here once, but if memory serves, there's a basement over there- Willow will take that- this floor- Kennedy- and two upstairs floors. Faith, can you handle the ones upstairs?"

"Yeah. Here, take Buffy," she grunted, handing off Buffy. Xander took her and the three women took off, slinking through the house. After a moment, Willow came back.

"The basement's all clear."

Kennedy returned with the same reply.

Faith, who, being reckless, took the attic first, was still working on the second story. Everyone heard a door open, then close. Another opened, and closed. The third and final door opened- and a scream echoed throughout the house. A loud thud was heard an Faith came running down the stairs, her face red and her features contorted. A strange wheezing noise was issuing from her mouth, and she was clutching her stomach. It took everyone a moment to realize she was laughing and unable to breathe.

"Hot damn, Harris!" she managed. "They take a break from waiting for company to boink?"

Xander felt his lip drop. He was still trying to register what was being said when his aunt and uncle ran downstairs in bath robes. A look of disgust was plastered on his face and he said, "Ew."

"Hi Xander!" Tracey said, breathless. "I'm Tracey Harris, but you can all call me Aunt Tracey."

Everyone introduced themselves. Tracey moved forward to give Xander a hug, but he withdrew, shuddering.

"Ew," he said.

Tracey looked confused for a moment, then blushed. "Well, Xander, your uncle and I are a sexual as anyone here- we are people, after all."

There was complete silence for a moment. Then each and every one of the new arrivals, except for Buffy, said, "Ew."
