Giles could hear the drums of war beating in the air. As the Scoobies poured into the conference room, Xander placed his rather large gift in the center of the table.

 

“Behold! My offering for this year’s White Elephant Extravaganza!” he boomed proudly as Giles placed a small package on the table. “Your puny offering is unsatisfactory, Watcher!”

 

“Even if it is a twenty-four hour cloaking spell?”

 

Xander’s eye grew wide with interest. “Is it?”

 

Giles shrugged, his body language neutral. Never would he admit that the box contained two tickets to the symphony he was counting on stealing back.
