"So how's everything going on the whole get-Xander-and-Angel-togther plan going?" Cordeila asked as she sat down beside Willow. The redhead frowned in contemplation. "I think we need a smaller title" she mused. Cordelia elegantly dusted off a doughnut and took a bite.

"It's not like it's a big deal anymore. It's pretty much the whole 'thing' these days" the cheerleader frowned as if Xander being more fashionable then her was disturbing.

Buffy seconded that. "And he really couldn't have chosen a more public place to do it." She glanced around the cafeteria noting the many whispers throughout the room that ranged from the jocks to the nerds.

"I mean the winter festival that everyone attended. Xander kissed Angel right in the middle of the dance floor."

Willow pulled the sleeves of her long jumper over her fists and gazed dreamily at the far wall. "It was so romantic" she enthused. "And so brave, I mean not in the whole killing demons for a living but still so brave."

Cordelia rolled her eyes at her friend but it didn't have the usual scorn. "We all know Willow."

The girls looked up as Larry appeared the large boy had an unbelievably large smile across his face.

"Man Harriss is my hero. I could never have done that! I mean kiss a guy like in front of everyone. Man that so rocks"

Buffy tried to process that and realized in his own way Larry had just complimented Xander.

"Thanks Larry. I'm sure he'll appreciate that"

Satisfied the jock turned away. Buffy leaned forward so only her bested buds could hear her. "Has anyone seen Xander anyway?"

That only brought frowns and shaking of heads.

Speak of the devil Xander appeared. The dark haired boy took a seat by Cordelia, taking one of her carrot sticks. Biting into it he grimaced "How can you eat that Cor?"

Cordelia folded her arms over her cheast. "So you and Angel getting it together?"

When she received glares from the rest of the tables occupants she groaned.

"Please like any of you were gonna say it. Listen up Harriss cause I am not doing this again. Kissing Angel was probably the most single coolest thing you will ever achieve okay? So don't blow it."

That being said the cheerleader got up and swept from the room leaving the scoobies staring after her.

Buffy recovered first "So are you actually gonna listen to her holiness?"

Xander didn't look up from the comic book he had been reading. "Why? It happened I have my five minutes of popularity and I am happy. By the way why are you so into this Angel's your guy"

Buffy ticked the items of the list.

"One.Angel and I are history. Two I can't believe we never saw how good you two are together and three Cordy's so right."

"Look guys I am not ready to be dealing with this"

Buffy suddenly realized how lost and confused Xander really was and instantly covered his hand with hers. Willow quickly followed.

"But when you do we'll be here. And most importantly so will Angel"
