Trying to ignore everyone coupling off all over the damn school, Sam turned on the Aaron Echolls film festival and prepared to lose herself in the movies. She had a large bowl of popcorn and bottle of diet coke and settled into one of the chairs.

Of course, she was immensely interruptable.

"More or less. There was this thing a couple Halloweens ago where we all got turned into whatever we were dressed up as, for real, memories and all. I was a soldier." He scratched his head. "Some of it's a bit hazy, but your basic emergency first aid's definitely still in there; not a skill you're gonna lose from lack of practice in Sunnydale."

"Definitely a handy skill to have," Sam mused, though, wow, she wished she'd known about that when they'd been setting up the study group. Janet could have used the help. "A soldier, huh? Ever want that kind of life for yourself for real?"

"Thought about it at one point," Xander admitted. "I'm ok at following orders. But... not so ok with the part where if you don't like the orders, they throw you in the stockade instead of firing you when you tell your boss to kiss your ass." He grinned. "Also not so great with the getting up at 0600 hours, Shop class aside."

Sam grinned back. "I'd tell you that you only have to follow orders until you're high enough in the chain of command to give your own, but that's a lie."

"My dad used to tell stories..." Her smile dimmed slightly. "Well, let's just say that getting up early isn't an automatic skill for a lot of people."

Xander snorted. "It's definitely not for my dad. I come by it honestly, I guess. "

"It's not for everyone. I think that's why God invented coffee."
