(Did not get the chapter done for Not your typical body switch. I'm working on it. But I wrote something like a month or two ago. This is pure Wile E Coyote running in to brick wall cartoon adventure. You could argue this is a cross over but the thing is most of the cross over characters have nothing but cameos. Small amount of page time. There are some rules to Reading this. Rule 1. Don't write me saying Time line is wrong Example "If you would have done A first Than B,. Wouldn't have to be done at all. You may be correct but this is my swimming pool and I will create the waves I like. Besides if you take the path of least resistance than there is no drama and boom snooze city. So NO POINTING OUT Time travel errors. 2. I'm writing this Xander as a little more selfish cause it's more fun that way. He's going to make the universe the way he wants. I am not going to write this nearly as frequently as the other story. This is more of a work on it as I can get to it thing. Some of the chapters will be long some nothing more than half a page blurb. That being said Please buckle your seat belts, put your seat and tray table in an upright position keep your hands in the ride yada yada yada. I present to you. A Xander Shaped Universe)
Xander sat across from Buffy in the booth at the restaurant. "I've made up my mind Buffy and I can't do it. I'm not going to be there."
Buffy turned her head. "This could be the biggest day of my life. You aren't going to be there. Willow is going to be there, Dawn."
"What about Giles?"
Buffy looked down angry. "You both are being stubborn."
"Buffy you are marrying a vampire. It's not even that. He is beneath you and you deserve so much better but you don't see it."
"I should get some say in what I deserve."
"You are giving up a life in the Sun. You are giving up kids. Technically you are giving up getting married cause the truth is Spike isn't human and it's not like he can marry you for real."
"Xander love is about sacrifice and."
"You are the one having to make all the sacrifice."
"Xander I know you care and I know."
"I love you Buffy. "
He reached across the table taking his hand. "Xander I." She swallowed the lump in her throat. "There are times I wanted to be with you more than anything but you were with Anya. I was with Riley and it seemed like our timing was never."
"It's not too late."
"I'm with Spike now and I. Nothing changes that. This is just the way it is."
Xander stood up. "Well I won't be at your ceremony. I won't watch you throw your life away."
With that he stood up and walked out of the restaurant and in to the open mall. He sighed and shook his head. "I can't even remember where I parked." He took a few steps and stopped to look around.
As he turned a round a blur of red and black fury hit him as he was running and knocked both of them down. He was masked and wearing more spandex than any man should ever wear.
He looked at Xander picking himself up. "Whoa pal. Sorry for the knock down but you really shouldn't just you know stand in the middle of a mad mans path as he is trying to make a care free escape from the mall." As he stood over him he extended his hand to pull him up. "The names Dead Pool but you can call me." He scratched his head. "Yeah I'm never going to see you again so you don't have to call me anything."
Xander took his hand pulling himself up. "This seems like my kind of luck. The woman I love is"
"Yeah yeah fascinating stuff. Ya see the thing is I got this half man half cyborg chasing me. So I really have to get moving. But good luck with that love thing " He took off running.
Deadpool took off running and looked behind him. Cable was no where in sight and he had finally found a way to escape his grasp. "You can't capture me." He laughed and turned his head back just in time to see the wall of a man standing in front of him. "Oh fuckbucket."
Cable thrust his hand to Deadpools throat grabbing him and choking him out. "Listen dipshit. You have something of mine. I WANT IT BACK"
Deadpool had been using his time jumper to travel forwards and backwards in time. He gurgled through a high pitch squeak. "Cable always good to see you."
He closed his fist tighter. "NOW."
Deadpool nodded. "Okay okay."
Cable dropped him letting him go. "Just relax. I got it. But first" He threw a quick high kick connecting with Cable's arm. Cable didn't flinch but a loud metal clang could be heard as Deadpool's foot connected. "Holy fuck that hurt."
Cable glared at him. "Are you done?"
"God you are so angry." He sighed. "Fine. I was done with it anyways. Well mostly done." Cable put his hand out to collect the time jumper. Cable reached for his wrist but found it wasn't there. He reached for his other wrist. It wasn't there either. He laughed. "Uhm hold on I." He reached in to his pocket but it wasn't there.
"Stop stalling Wade."
"I swear to god I'm not. I"
"Did you fucking lose it?"
"No of course not. I had it when I was running and than that kid. OH SHIT. I know where it is."
1 minute earlier
"Yeah yeah fascinating stuff. Ya see the thing is I got this half man half cyborg chasing me. So I really have to get moving. But good luck with that love thing "
Xander muttered "Asshole" As he took off running Xander noticed what looked like a watch on the ground. "Wait." But he was to far-gone. Xander picked it up checking it out. "This thing isn't even set for the right time"" The date was set for July 3rd 1957. Above that it said Crystal Lake New Jersey. Xander shrugged. "I can fix this." He pushed the button and suddenly music blared from out of now where.
"What the hell is that?" He listened for a second. The music was Cher. "Oh I know this one. It's If I could turn back time. God this is awful. Who"
He suddenly felt like he was being pulled back at a million miles an hour. Everything spun around him and he felt sick. Suddenly it stopped and he looked around "What the holy hell was that?"
Before he could respond he heard water splashing and some one yelling. Xander turned looking around and recognized wherever he was. It was the woods. With everything he had he took off running towards the sound of yelling and splashing. As he ran through the brush he saw a boat dock.
Just 10 yards past the dock a boy was drowning in the lake. The kid was bobbing up and down under the water and didn't have long. "OH SHIT." With everything he had he ran to the end of the dock and dove in. "Hold on kid I am coming."
He swam as fast as he could urgent to get to the kid. Finally he got to the kid and Xander wrapped his arm around him. "Don't worry I got you."
With everything he had Xander started swimming back to the shore. The kid clutched Xander like he was his lifeline. Finally he reached the shore and two teenagers came out of the woods. They were buttoning there clothes up and reeked of pot.
Xander scooped the boy up carrying him out of the water. He set him down on his feet. "You okay kid?"
Before he could respond a shrieking war cry could be heard from one of the near by cabins. A woman in a blue sweater with a machete came running at him. "Get away from my boy."
Xander jumped back "Whoa whoa whoa lady calm down."
The boy jumped in front of Xander. "He saved me mama." The boy had an audible slur and a face only his mother could love.
She looked at him kneeling down to look him in the eyes. "Jason what is going on?'
"I was swimming mama and he helped me."
She pulled her son in to her arms and hugged him. "Jason you mustn't worry mother like that." Jason hugged his mom happily.
The woman stood up looking at Xander. "Well I guess thanks are in order. My name Pamela and this is my son Jason." She looked around "Where were the counselors?'
"I think they were in the woods having sex. If I were you. I would talk to who ever owns this place and sue their ass if they don't hire better help."
She nodded "I'll take what you say in to consideration. One again I thank you Mister?"
Xander shook his head remembering he had yet to introduce himself. "Oh Mister Harris and you are welcome." Xander smiled and pointed at little Jason. "Now you promise me you won't go back in that water alone or at least until you swim better."
Jason smiled and ran to him hugging Xander. Xander felt the air go out of his lung. "Wow that kid has a grip."
Pamela looked at Xander. "If you come up to the cabin we can get you some towels to dry off."
Xander smiled but shook his head. "I have to go. As she walked away Xander stepped back in to the woods. "What the hell is this thing?"
He looked again at the time jumper thinking it was just a watch. Xander reached for the dial and made an adjustment. He set the time back June 13 2010. "Okay now the time is right and."
He suddenly heard Cher singing If I could turn back time. "Oh shit not again."
With out warning he felt himself getting pulled in to the darkness and dizziness again. He forgot to adjust the location so he was still set for Camp Crystal Lake New Jersey. When the spinning stopped he looked around once again. He was back in the almost identical location. "What the hell is this thing?"
He heard a rustling behind him. He knew where ever he was he wasn't in the woods alone. "HELLO?"
As he turned around an almost 7 foot beast of a man stood in front of him with a machete in hand wearing a hockey mask. Xander stumbled back wards "Oh God no. Please don't kill me."
Xander cringed as the man stepped to him. He quickly pulled his mask off and dropped the machete. "Oh God pal. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you."
Xander looked up at him. "I think I need to change my pants."
The man extended his hand to him to help him up off the ground. "I do apologize. I was just clearing some of the brush out here. It gets real thick and it's hard for some of the younger kids to get through the nature hikes. But I promise you I only cut down the trees and bush." He smiled at him real friendly. "My name is Jason."
Xander looked at him confused. "My name is Xander ah Xander Harris."
Jason took his hand shaking it. "That's a hell of a good name." I'm the head counselor here at Camp Harris."
"What is with the hockey mask?"
"Oh my momma. Bless her soul. She was always worried I would hurt myself cutting things down." Jason looked at him. "You seem familiar to me. Have we met before?"
Xander turned his head not sure what to say. He was trying to figure out what the hell was going on. "I thought this was called Camp Crystal Lake?"
"Oh it was. A long time ago the guy that used to own this place. He hired some real jack hole teenagers. I almost drowned in the lake. Well my mom took some advice and sued the hell out of the owner. Mom took ownership of the camp and ran things much safer. She hired good people."
"But the name?"
"My mom decided to name it after the man that saved my life that day. We never saw him again but we figured it was a fitting tribute."
"I'm sorry how many years ago?"
"Just a little over 40 I guess." Xander stood there stunned not even sure how to react. "Well listen buddy. We are about an hour away from some good campfire songs, ghost stories around the fire and smore's if you want to join us."
Xander looked at him. "That's a kind offer but I think I have work to do."
Jason smiled at him and extended his hand for one last shake. "Well if you change your mind you'll never find a kinder group of folk than here at Camp Harris."
Xander offered a forced smile and started walking deeper in to the woods. He looked at the time jumper again. "You aren't a watch at all. You are a time machine."
Suddenly a smaller version of Xander dressed like the devil stood on his shoulder. He spoke to Xander talking directly in to his ear. "Hey you know what you could do with that thing. I mean you could carve the universe the way it should be. You could stop getting the shaft and finally get the life you deserve."
Xander was about to say something but stopped, as the Angel equivalent appeared on his other shoulder. "For Shame on you Xander Harris. You cannot change things that are meant to be. The world you have may not be perfect but it is the world you have created."
The devil on his shoulder rolled his eyes. "Did you Kill your Teacher Miss Callendar? Did you let all the people in your life you cared about and love die? You can save their lives. You can save her from wasting hers. Come on you know you want too."
The Angel looked at Xander. "I know Xander He is a good boy and he will make the right choice."
Xander shook his head "Yeah I'm with the other guy sorry."
The Devil just laughed "Ha Ha ha. Let's get some shit done."
With that they both poofed out of sight. Xander bit his lip. "Okay where do I start?'
He smiled and set the position to Sunnydale California and the date to Febuary 25th 2001. As he pushed the button Cher once again played in the background. Xander sighed already sick of the music. "I hate Cher."
