Very nice. Kinda captures the outcast comraderie they had together in the episode The Initiative

That's what I was going for. Glad you liked it.

Not only is that well in character for Xander, but it actually reminds me a lot of me at the same point in my life!

redrikki September 9 2007, 13:35:52 UTC

Thanks. I think we've all felt that way. Not about high school, but certainly about life.

You've caught that sense of isolation and trying to find his place well, I think. And I love this line: "side-kicking evil’s ass with the gang." Very Xander!

Glad you liked it.

You really captured Xander here. I love the last line.

redrikki September 9 2007, 20:09:55 UTC

Glad you like it. Thanks for saying.

You've really captured how at a loss for purpose Xander was at this time yet also how he got past it with his outlook.

Thanks. Season four Xander always struck me as a guy struggling to figure out his purpose and role both in life and in the group. By season five, and, oddly enough, by the end of this drabble, he sort of figured himself out.
