The reluctant single eyed watcher watched the wind blow dirt around in the whole he used to call home. Sunnydale may have been a hellmouth, it may have been full of demons and vampires. It was also his home, his hellmouth. A single tear came from his single eye as he spoke. "I'm so sorry, Ahn, it should have been me." Xander muttered trying to compose himself. He sat there silently sobbing as he thought of his lost love. He loved his Anya, even if she was second to his Buffy, even knowing he was just Buffy's "The Xander-Shaped friend."
"I could have done something. It should have been me, for not loving you as much as you loved me knowing that I was all gung hoe for Buffy even while we were engaged. You kept me, even after you figured out that I was still in love with the slayer. Why would you love a worthless idiot, waste of life, train wreck of person named Xander Harris enough you would sacrifice so much, even your life for him?" Xander muttered to himself and started choking up and tried to hold back the water works.
Xander looked down into the whole as he dropped a single red rose, and thought things he shouldn't be when he heard a whisper. "I love you too sex bunny, you better not to what your thinking, because the big guy doesn't take them kind of people. Even if he did I would kick your nice ass out"
Xander looked up with hope in his eye. (I'm going crazy, because I could have swore I just heard Anya?) "Ahn?" his voice full of hope. He sat there waiting for a response. It was just silence. "It was just the wind, I guess." a composed Xander spoke.
He took one last look into the whole that had some many good, bad, and painful memories. " I love you too." as he turned his head with thoughts of leaving.

“So this is what is left of Sunnydale?” Phoenix said gently. She has soundlessly walked up beside Xander when he turned to leave. She had come here thinking she could get a few answers. Maybe even find the old Scooby gang….well that’s what her old watcher use to call them. She had always spent hours listening to Clarkson talk about them. She even heard stories of Faith. “You know I gotta say….that sucks…I mean I know it was over a hell mouth but I heard some great stories about this place and the slayer and her friends who lived here.” She said with a bit of a sing song voice. It was odd but Phoenix was in a great mood today. Today her dark brown hair was down and very straight. Her dark brown eyes where outlined in dark eyeliner and a bit of black eye shadow. She was wearing black trip pants with crimson red chains. She had on a black tank top and a dark blue long fishnet shirt over it. She also wore steel toe boots.
She crossed her arms gently as she looked down at the big whole. She sighed softly “So I’m going to guess your Xander….I know what you’re going to ask…how the hell I know your name and who the hell am I. Right?” She smiled showing off her pearly whites. “Phoenix Lange. Slayer. I heard stories about you and your friend.” She knew it was blunt and what not but she figured that was what needed to happen. Taking in a deep breath she turned back to the big whole in the ground. Chewing on her lip she was lost in thought for a moment. “Sad that happened….” She said gently. Before she got too lost in thought she turned back to Xander. She could tell he had been crying and that he wanted to. She felt a ping of guilt for just walking up beside him like this. She could tell that he had lost someone very close to him. She knew how it felt and when she had found out about her family she didn’t want someone coming up and talking to her….though that’s when Clarkson showed his ugly….no actually he had a rather cute face…. “I know….I’m probably seem insane to you…but…you seemed sad. And well I am in a scary great mood figured I could turn that frown upside down.” It was odd but…well Phoenix was an odd one when she was in a good mood.

Xander began to walk when he heard someone walk up behind him.(Not a vamp or demon, way too deliberate.) he thought to himself. He listened reluctantly not even bothering to turn around, while he rubbed the tears out of his only eye. "It's fucking fantastic! It's a great thing when so many people die just because they have the bad luck of living on a hellmouth! What the hell would you know or even care anyways!" Xander shot back to the voice approaching him. He thought of Jesse, Miss Calender, Joyce Summers, and his Anya. Xander's shoulder's shrugged while he turned around to face his visitor. (Faith?... Xander thought when he took a reluctant look at the girl.)He did a double take. (Noo.. shes different, but she is a slayer, the way she carries herself is obvious.) Xander sighed as she continued to talk almost unfazed.
He heard her mention his name and then introduce herself to him. "Yeah the one and only one eye wonder, Buffy's donut boy."Xander smiled back when she introduced herself to him. (She pretty cute.)"It's a pleasure to meet you, and I could already tell that you were a slayer, known one since I was 16, and I even lost my virginity to one." (TMI! man!) Xander chuckled at his stupidity as he reached out to shake her hand. "Sorry about shooting off on you, my heads in the gutter, tough day." Xander gave her a smile.
"It is sad, but Buffy did her best to save as many people as possible, she is really amazing." Xander put Buffy on that pedestal he always does. "She's the most amazing person I ever met, her and Anya." Xander heared himself acting like he was crushing on his best friend.
Xander gave Phoenix an amused look. "This is different, I'm usually the person cheering my friends up." Xander smiled and thought. (Okay Xander she may remind you of Faith, but she isn't. No dirty thoughts!) "I don't know really, you already made this old dog smile a few times already. I think you accomplished something." Xander replied with a grin.

Phoenix had heard him blow up but she looked at him and smiled none the less. She knew how it was. She still blew up at people. Even people she saved. She found her favorite line for them was ‘Ya know you’re a moron when people say DON’T go over there you go…next time I’m not saving you’ She had to bite back a laugh when he said something about losing his Virginity. *Wow….he’s very open isn’t he?* She thought. Shaking his hand gently and then putting her hands back in her pockets she shrugged “Happens all the time…people deserve a day where they can blow up at someone and not get hit for it….or stabbed…either way you look at it.”
She nodded when he talked about Buffy. “Yeah I heard stories of her….she sounded like a great girl when I heard the stories…even heard stories of Faith….”She said gently. If she had to pick her favorite though she’d pick Faith. Only because she was living proof that you could mess up really bad and still make the right choice in the end. When he said something about Anya she nodded gently. She could see that was what had him out here today. The pain of a broken heart.
”Ah but a smile is a smile…anyone can smile…a laugh…a real rib hurting laugh is what I’m here to do….” She shrugged gently “Which is very odd for me…normally I’m in your shoes….but eh…things happen for a reason right?” she smiled gently. “And I promise you I’m only a little insane.” She smiled again showing off her pearly whites. Hoping he got the small joke.

Xander couldn't help but laugh at the mention of Faith. "Faith....is great too, we have our fair share of history too." (Too much history) he frowned even though he forgave Faith a long time ago.
Xander laughed at her insane joke. " I'm glad that we had our little role reversal, because I would have spent the rest of night getting smashed at the bar if it wasn't for you." as he rubs his neck nervously as he hoped his honesty wouldn't get the best of him.
"Trust me, I lost most of my marbles and I'm only 27. Am I 27? I don't even know my age, but I can name you all of the Jackson 5, if it matters." he smiled at her and shook his head.
"I don't know if you will make me laugh that much, but if your up for some fun filled vampire patrolling time with the infamous Xander Harris, you can try your best then." he offered her with a smile.

She smirked at his honesty that was a rare thing to find now a day. A thing she was looking for in all people. Something seemed to be lost amongst the pain and angry. “If it makes you feel any better I’m 21 years old and I can name the Jackson five. And a few other things a girl my age should know…I’m going to blame my army days.” She said with another smile. She could get use to this good mood stuff.
Hearing him say something about a bar she laughed “Funny I was doing that just the other night…found a really yummy drink…called a Scooby snack.” She grinned again. She had drank five of those…no maybe it was six. She had lost count after the third one.
”Oh making Vamps all dusty and making them run and cry to their sires? Or would it be mommies? Any who sounds like nothing but fun to me.” She smiled again. She raised an eyebrow at him saying she probably couldn’t get him to laugh “I love a challenge.”

Xander chuckled a little bit when she mentioned she was in the army. (Halloween 1997, ha!) He noticed a pissed reaction and was quick to explain "No, I didn't laugh at you. Back in SunnyD some crazy warlock named Ethan Rayne owned a costume shop and put a spell on all the costumes and what ever costume you had turned you in what you were wearing." Xander couldn't help but smile as he told her the story. (Good times.) "Willow was turned into skanky ghost, Buffy into a medieval air head of a princess, and yours truly transformer into a bad ass G.I. Ever since I have had a vague memory and knack for military intelligence, knowledge and organization." he smiled a bit. "It comes in handy when your second in charge of all the slayers."
He started walking by her side. "A Scooby Snack? What? I'm Shaggy of the Scooby gang and I never had one, or even heard of it? I'm terribly disappointed in myself." Xander said excitingly.
"Well, if they don't run home and cry. I will, I have been known to run home to cry to my mommy, or now my Buffy." Xander playfully said. Suddenly he thought. (My Buffy?.. What?) "I think you have already won the challenge, because unless I'm as stupid as I think I could have swore I giggled like a little girl a couple of times." Xander said as they walked together

Her face did get a little angry when he chuckled. She didn’t mean for it to it just happened. But when he explained she nodded. “I understand that was part of an evil plan…but dude that sounds totally cool.” She smirked. “Don’t I know it…I’ve had to go back to my military training once in a while when fighting the things that go bump in the night. Works though. They don’t expect it.” She grinned when she thought about the last time she had to use her army training. That was one hell of a time.
As they started to walk she looked over at him “Really? Must be a south bend thing or something because I have them all the time…they are really yummy. Next time your in a bar ask for one. They should know what it is. The bar I go to does at least.” She figured there was only one bar in this town so she didn’t think she needed to say which bar it was.
Phoenix laughed softly “Your Buffy? I’d make a witty comment to that but I think I’ll leave that one alone.” She played with her sleeve as they kept walking. She laughed softly “Well I always win challenges. That’s what makes it so much fun. So Xander the Shaggy of the Scooby gang. Tell me about yourself. I know some things. Like I said I’ve heard stories. But who is the man behind the mask?” She honestly almost said behind the eye patch but she decided against it. She really didn’t want to piss him off.

Xander and Phoenix continued to walk. (She's a pretty cool girl, hot one nonetheless.) "Yeah, it's on the top my list of drinks to order now. I'll try it the next time I go for my nightly beer after my night patrol, Ive been doing since Buffy's been MIA." Xander laughed to himself for a second." I'm sure Buffy would get a kick out of it, too."
Xander lost his breath for a second when she mention him saying "His Buffy." He sighed thankfully when she said she was going to drop it. (Did you really say that? Dork, thank God she's cool about it and dropped it you idiot.) "And for that, I say thank you for leaving Xander Harris's little slip alone." he smiled nervously about to change the subject when she did.
"Don't you mean the man behind the eye patch?" Xander said jokingly. He thought to himself about her request. He had so many wacky, sad, fun, and horrible stories he could tell her. He smiled and waved his hand up. "Not much too tell. Boy was loser, boy met girl, girl ends up being slayer, boy brings girl back to life, boys been following her around since, Sunnydale blows and here is Xander Harris presently talking to an attractive slayer by a giant whole, where I spent 22 years of my life. He sighed and then smiled at Phoenix. Anything specific you want to know about Xander Harris international man of mystery other than my middle name"

Phoenix nodded as they kept talking. “It’s really good…You even get a slice of pineapple with it.” She grinned again. When he said something about Buffy being MIA her eyebrow shot up. But she decided to leave that one alone as. She figured that Buffy Summer deserved a little break after all. She had what? Died and came back to life twice? Or would it be three times? One never really knows. From the stories all they knew was Buffy died a lot. She smiled a bit and nodded
She shrugged gently “Trust me I’ve had worse slips than that…ever fought with someone you really hate and then say ‘will you just kiss me already?’ Yeah not the finest of moments in a 16 year old’s life.” She looked over at him for a second “Yeah. Tried covering it up with ‘Just eat the damn apple snow white.’ Didn’t work out to well. My face was as red as the apple I was holding though….found out that day I could change colors…was sweet”
“Was going to say that…but I figured you heard it all the time.” she said with a hint of amusement in her voice. As she listened to him she cocked an eyebrow “Wow…that’s your whole life story? Got to love the ones that are only a paragraph.” she grinned again. She thought for a moment before she came up with something. “Most embarrassing thing that’s ever happened to you while slaying?”
