2nd Floor Common Room, Thursday Afternoon

[fh_jackass]

Logan was in the kitchen. Cooking. Because when you were in a kitchen, working with a blender, you could call it cooking. Even if the result was more beverage-y than food-y. It was practically summer, anyway. Perfect time for a cold iced drink. With tequila.

The television was playing "Annie".

"I was right there with you until you got to the plant food and the ham sandwich. Explain, please?"

[thenamesxander.livejournal.com]

"Well, it was magical plant food." Xander clarified. "And Clare thought it was, like, mayonnaise or something. Next thing I know... bam! I'm standing there, staring at myself."

"Uh huh." Dawn was so much less than clear... "Who's Clare? And how did magical plant food make another you?" She eyed him. "Are you a plant?"

[thenamesxander.livejournal.com]

"Clare's a sorceress, or training to be one, only her spells go wrong more often than they go right." Xander said. "And, I'm not a plant. Though I was a tree for a day. That was Clare's fault too."

"I know one of those too," Dawn said, sighing, "and everything was great until she decided to destroy the world because she was all griefy. You might want to watch out for that. Just saying."

"You were a tree? How weird was that?"

Xander winced slightly, thinking about the whole thing with Clare inheriting her mother's powers as the Gatekeeper which is still "TBC" in canon so shhh. "I'll take that under advisement. And being a tree was... interesting. And I was the victim of many a bad pun."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Bad puns? How so? Did you have squirrels and birds? Was there a Lorax?" Goofy much, Dawn?

"'Leaf Xander alone' was one of them, as I recall," Xander said, grinning sheepishly.

She grinned back. "That's kinda cute. What kind of tree were you?"

[thenamesxander.livejournal.com]

"It's funny *now*. At the time, not so much. And I was an oak? I think."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

"Good sturdy tree," Dawn said, then asked, "was it a metaphor, or just what was indigenous to the area?"

[thenamesxander.livejournal.com]

"The second one," Xander said. "Considering I later found my friend Phineas talking to one of the trees in the forest because he thought it was me."

[lilpunkinbelly.livejournal.com]

Dawn started giggling. A lot. "Did the tree answer him?"

[thenamesxander.livejournal.com]

"I... may have used a little invisibility spell to make it seem like the tree was answering back," Xander admitted, grinning sheepishly.

"Oh, that's classic," Dawn said, still giggling. "What'd he do?"
