“Because it’s Xander. That’s the prophecy of the True Warrior.”
Giles looked up from his book to see his young friends staring open-mouthed at him. Xander had been particularly annoying up to that point so Giles focused on him. “I’m sorry, but it speaks here of a great warrior who will fight for truth and righteousness. The fate of the world rests with the one called Xander.”
The boy who’d dripped pizza all over the books looked pale.
“Oh, I’m sorry,” Giles deadpanned. “I meant to say Xena.”
Buffy narrowed her eyes.
“Are you looking at next week’s TV guide?”
