Title: American Pie Snippet
Disclaimer: Joss owns everything.
Shadow dared me to write this, it's no really very good but it meets her
dare.

On of the problems of being a Scooby team member was you had to answer the
phone even when it was a good dream you were having.

"Yeah Xander, It's Buffy, you remember that time in high school when the
KazXintra Demon striped off all of your close and super glued you to the
woodshop table." Buffy said in a rushed voice.

"Yeah" Xander said trying to wake himself up and feeling like he had stepped
into a nightmare.

"And I got you off the table using paint thinner before class started the
next day." Buffy continued. Xander could her mumbled sounds in the back
ground as she spoke. 

"Yeah." Xander replied sitting up in bed.

"And I told you that it was ok, because someday something equally
embarrassing would happen to me and you would the help me out and never tell
a soul?" Buffy said over the phone as the muffled sound in the back ground
got louder.

"I take it, I am going to get to pay you back?" Xander said with a smile
getting out of the bed.

"Just come over to my moms house and bring a can of paint thinner. And don't
wake up Dawn or my Mom." Buffy ordered. 

"What exactly are you glued too?" Xander asked.

"Willow" Buffy moaned a little do deeply, and a tad to sexually for Xander's
taste. 

"Ok?" Xander replied as a thousand question rushed his tired brain.

Xander opened the front door of the Summer's home and quietly tiptoed in. He
then walked toward the stairs only to trip on the rug. He and his can of
paint thinner remained quiet for a few minutes before he started up the
stairs again. After the 4th creek in the floor he thought the whole house
would here him but he made it to the top of the stairs.

And that is when he walked into a person standing just off the landing. "Hi
Mrs. Summers."

"Xander why are you skulking around the house a 3 in the morning?" Joyce
asked in her mother tone crossing her arms.

For several seconds he didn't have an answer until he looked down at the
paint thinner in his hand. "Buffy need some paint thinner of a demon
problem." He hoped it was an honest answer.

"I see." Joyce replied unbelieving.

Buffy cracked open her door and said, "Mom he is telling the truth no can I
please have the thinner?"

Joyce shifted gears and became concerned. She still remember the blue goop
on her daughters cloths the week before. Slaying was a messy business. "How
can we help honey?" Joyce asked.

"Just give me the thinner ok." That is all I need Buffy said groaning a
little as she pulled her arm out of the crack in the door. 

"Honey, don't be silly let us help Joyce say grasping the door and throwing
it open. 

"Noooooo" Buffy screamed as the door flew open wide.
"I don't even want to know how Willow got her face stuck there?" Joyce said
taking the can out of a frozen Xander's hand and giving it to her daughter.

"Well at least I know she is a natural blond." Xander finally said coming
out of his fog.
