“Hey, wait till you have an evil twin! See how you handle it!”

I’m here!

Hello?

Hey, don’t taunt the firtility godess!

Still around? I’m starting late. I should be all caught up by Angel. :slight_smile:

Secondary Xander has quite a punch. :eek:

“It’s me, Xander, and I can prove it.”

I’ve often wondered how I’d prove myself to my friends and family if I had an evil (or somewhat less evil :p) twin or I changed bodies in some way. Sure, it’s unlikely, but better to have a plan, just in case. :slight_smile:

“But I never help. I get in trouble, and Buffy saves me.”
“That’s not true! Sometime, we all help to save you.” :smiley:

“Hey, wait 'til you’ve got an evil twin and see how you handle it!”
“I handled it fine.” :smiley:

“I’m dying! I may have as few as fifty years left!” :smiley:

[spoiler]Or fewer. :eek:[/spoiler]

“I said, ‘Oh, dear Lord!’”
“You always say that.”
“It’s always important.” :smiley:

“OK, Xander… z…” :smiley:

“Washington’s still there, but he’s all smushy. And he may be Jefferson.” :smiley:

I really do love the relationship between Riley and Xander. Unlikely friends, but it feels natural.

And then…

There’s this disturbing confession. I was nearly in tears when Riley said “…but she doesn’t love me.” All the moreso when I found out how many people loathed his character. So heartbreaking. Damn you, Joss. :mad:
