"Come on, Giles, your introduction to American culture isn't complete until you carve your first jack-o-lantern," Xander urged.
The Watcher skeptically eyed the ridiculously rotund orange vegetable that sat before him on the table, it's green stem sticking up jauntily.

Buffy placed a giant bowl next to him.

Ten minutes later he was covered in pumpkin slime. "Worse than any demon," he muttered.
