Where: Metropolis General Why: Uh...battle injuries. Duh. Xander had awoken early in the morning. Lois was at the Planet typing up a story, but Clark was there when I came to. Got the doctors to give him my details by saying he was my brother. Hey, worked for them. Considering I had a good bit of construction materials dropped on me I didn't suffer too much. Few bruised ribs and a broken arm. Slight concussion. Should be out of this bed late tomorrow. Clark managed to get word to the important people of what happened...Abby, Buff. They might pop in for a visit to tell me how dumb i was to help. Feel great though. Slight pain, but I've had much worse. "Ooh. Jell-o." |

Carry On My Wayward Son So Much For my Happy Ending Someday Ordinary As I sat here thinking of what to write in my post-birthday post, these are the songs that decided to play. My Media player is cursed. Thats all I'm saying. So, another year under my belt. Some how managed to survive it...easy when you're not really out there saving the world all that often. Even in this Podunk town. This last year, has been slightly better than past ones. But not by much. There's been a lot of bad last few years. The few good things are slowly balancing out the bad. Quit my job, a few months ago. Company just got too big for its britches...made too many changes that took away from who we were. So I got out of it. Working as kind of a handyman around town. But thats just to bide time, pay the bills. Truth is? I have no clue what I want to do. Got into construction cause it was one of the many jobs i had in my quest for a career that would last more than a week. I did a remarkable job. I'm good at what I do. Just don't know if I just want to be the guy who fixes windows all my life you know? Think part of the reason I don't know what I want to do is because, part of me doesn't know who I am or where I belong. Seems no matter what I do, where I go...I don't feel like I'm part of it. ( More stuff under here ) |

Well, in less than 12 hours I will be another year older. Another year wiser? Who knows. Been a year. Will say that much. Lots of changes. Which is good I guess. I'll probably be more elaborate and verbal another time. For now...stuff to do. |

ANYWAYS... So, here's the scoop. 1. I am alive...which is proof that I'm writing this. 2. My family has power now! 3. I do not. Power was restored at my parents house thankfully, cause if I had to go another night in that ungodly heat...i'd die. Only not. Power will NOT be restored to my house (AIM/Palace on that computer) until another few days. No more than I week I hope. Now for TALES OF INTREST!! We went to the hospital on Saturday afternoon. Few hours later while I was talking to a friends mom that was there at the hospital, they came with bracelets. We were told its so the hospital can know who's supposed to be there. Later found it was to ID the body should the worst happen. I'll wait as you pick your slack-jaws back up.... We good? Great, cause I had the same interest. Peanut said in my head, "What the hell?!" Storm really got nasty around 11am. Had cell service for a little while but lost it. So I couldn't let Bard know storm's here and I survived until late in the day. Storm was done with, save for some dark coulds, slight wind and iffy rain. Got to go home with my mom and bro. No power, had land line for about an hour before it crapped out, so I got the message to Bard right in time. For now, I do have cell service and power. Just have to wait for my end to get back up and runnning. The brunt of the damage at my house is on the roof. Lost a lot of shingles, but near as I can tell, no leaks. DO have tons of branches to clean up when I get to it this weekend. But over all, survived unscathed. I'll keep an eye on anything on IJ until I can make it to my main computer again. But for now...XAND is ALIVE!! now to hunt for some real food. |

Xander looks at himself in the mirror. He's wearing a black suit with a grey dressup shirt. He tosses one tie after another to the side trying to find one that looks good with his outfit. Tonight, he was taking out Abigail to dinner. She would be dressing up as well. "Forget this." He tosses another tie down and puts his shirt collar on the outside. "Better." |

The sun is shining and the birds are singing. Hard to tell on a barg, but when Xander opened his eyes, he did see a sight that was just as beautiful...Abigail asleep in his arms. He leans forward and kisses her cheek. "Rise and shine beautiful," he whispers in her ear. |

"You want a peice of this Harris?" "Oh, I don't want a peice of you, I want the whole thing." "Think you're up to the challenge?" "I'll go all night if I have to...and I have done it before. Think you can handle this?" "Oh, I'll handle it alright." "Lets do it then." I started the X-Box game and sat on the Kent couch next to Kara. "I'm the blue one right," she asked. "Yeah, and I'm the red one." "Good. Like blue." I couldn't help but chuckle. "That much I know." "Eyeballing me Xander," she asked while trying to kill my guy. "Just trying to distract you from my AWESOMENESS!" I shouted trying to kill her character. "Not going to work on me. Lois taught me everything I know." "Guess that means I'm in trouble. She is ruthless when she plays this game. Formidable foe. She hates losing." "Speaking of Lois, can we have the same arrangement if you lose? Lois told me about it, and I really want to hear it for myself." "Well, like to think of it as our thing. But what the hell. I'm sure Lois wont mind having another reason to bust my chops. Just have to be me first..." KABOOM! "You lose. I win," Kara said proudly. Damnit. "Uh...we didn't so much shake on it. So, can we really say that its legally binding?" "Say it, or I'll hurt you." "You wouldn't." "Try me," she replied staring me down. I sighed in defeat. "Alright, alright." I muttered something under my breath. "Sorry, I didn't quite get that." "You heard me with those super-ears of yours," I replied as Clark walked into the house from his lunch with Lois. "Heard what," Clark asked walking into the living room. "Just beat Xander in a video game and he agreed to say what Lois makes him say when she beats him." "She got lucky." "Just say it," Clark said. "Kara's like Lois, wont back down." "Okay..." Then I said the phrase I had to tell Lois 99% of the time when we played video games together and I lost. "I'm your be-yatch." "One more time please, Want to savor this moment," Kara said trying not to laugh. "Don't push it Supergirl." I turned to Clark. "Lois is a bad influence on you. You know that right?" "Yep." She looked at the time. "Ooh. I got to get to my shift at the Talon. I'll see you later loser," she said kiddingly. With a zip she was on her way to the local coffee house. "Not funny," I yelled as the door swung shut. "Its not funny." Clark was trying not to laugh. "Not one word Wonderboy," I said heading outside. "Oh come on. Its a little funny," He said following me outside. "Great way to start your vacation huh?" "Yeah, yeah," I said picking up his basketball and tossing it to him. ( In a world where Xander is surrounded by women, male bonding is needed... ) |

Xander opens the door to his apartment in Port Charles. It was a small studio apartment, but it had a decent sized balcony with a nice view of the town. "Welcome to my little Fortress of Solitude," Xander said letting her enter first. |

After an interesting day, Xander arrives home and plops on his couch. "What the hell did I just do?" Oh, yeah...I quit my job. |

So...as of Monday morning, our construction company was bought out by a Donald Chump wannabe. Billionaires. Feel the need to purchase anything they can. What does this mean? Currently they are cutting the fat as it were. Going through reports and any and all information on every employee. Tomorrow morning, we find out who stays and who goes. Think all should be well with me. I hope. |

Sometimes its hard to find the right words. Sometimes they come easy...Sometimes the words dont come out at all. Ultimately you have to grit your teeth and just say it. Other times we lie. Why do people do this? I don't know.... Maybe it's 'cause they're proud...maybe it's 'cause they're scared....Maybe it's because telling the truth would make them feel too vulnerable. But there are a few things that I believe in. That in the end no matter how weak you think you are, when it comes to crunch time you know that deep down you'll come through for not only yourself, but your friends. The ones you love and trust no matter what. And nothing is more important than making time for an old friend. Because even if it breaks your heart to be 'just friends', if you really care about someone, you'll take the hit. Because in your heart of hearts you know that one simple fact. That she's worth it...uh, or he as the uh, case may be. Going now. |

I couldn't have been out more than a few seconds. But I felt better when I woke up. Invigorated actually. Climbed back up and told my crew to take the rest of the week off and I'd deal with thier find after the holidays. I did the last of my shopping, I know shopping on Christmas Eve equals nightmare. Then I went to the hospital to play Santa for the kids. It was just what I needed to re-charge the Xander batteries. Kids were awesome. All sweet. They sat on my lap telling me what they wanted for Christmas. Then they all sat on the floor as some residents were cleaning up their wrapping paper from opened presents. Thats when they started asking all the questions. And you know what? I went with it. "Santa...how do fit down the chimney...and what if a house doesn't have one?" I smiled and gave that little girl my best Ho ho ho. I took a cloth out of my sack and made a rose out of it. "You see kids, Santa is very..." I lit up the bottom and turned it into a real rose and handed it to a nurse who was standing near me. "Magical." They oooed and clapped. And no it wasnt real magic. Slight of hand stuff you pick up at a magic shop. "I go down the chimney and no matter if its there or not, one appears to fit my size so I can see each and everyone of you." "But how do you do it in one night," a little girl asked. "My sleigh has the ability to slow down the time-space continuim. Where a second becomes an hour, a minute becomes a week and an hour becomes a mellinium, then you can visit all the children over the world in one night. But enough of my secrets...its story time." I read them "The Night Before Christmas" with my special added commentary. Like teasing them that the whole "his belly shook like a bowl full of jelly" part seemed a bit insensitve as I do have a weight issue. They chuckled. Doctors rolled their eyes while a hint of a smile was on their lips. Cause damnit, I'm funny. After the kids went back to their rooms, I started to head out the door when I was stopped by a nurse. "Hey!" I turned. She was short, blonde hair to her shoulders, beautiful smile. Kind of reminded me of Elizabeth Banks. "I just want to thank you for what you did for those kids. It means a lot to have someone raise their spirits on Christmas." "If it hadn't been me, would have been one of the doctors. But, none the less, happy to have made their christmas. They deserve it. Those kids are great." "You were a pretty good Santa. If I hadn't known any better, I'd say you were the real thing." "No such luck. Just an average nobody in a red suit who likes to see others happy." She held up her rose. "Well, this average nobody sure made my day," she said with a smile. "I'm Kim Jacobs." "Xander. Harris. But uh...Santa around the kids. Heh." "So, will you be visiting my house tonight Mr. Claus?" "That depends if you've been naughty or nice." "What would you say if I've been very naughty," She said slyly. "Well, lucky for you Santa visits all the naughty girls," I replied with a wink. "I uh, have to get going. Last minute gifts to wrap." She nodded. "Will I be seeing you again?" "Definitely." "Nurse Jacobs. We need you over here," one of the other nurses called. "Duty calls. See you around Xander." I backed towards the door as I watched her leave. What happened Christmas Day? Stay tuned and I'll tell. |

So...I get a text message from work. I know work on Christmas eve. It blows, but some prep work had to be done before the holidays. "Okay, all you guys had to do some digging to prep the foundation. What'd you guys need that was so urgent?" The workers led me to where they were digging...there was a giant hole there. "We were digging when the ground started to crack. Got out of the way before it caved in. Looks like there's something down there. Thought one of the head honchos should be the first down there," he said with a smile handing me a flashlight. "Merry Christmas to me...you do realize I have to play Santa for a bunch of kids tonight right? I get hurt, on your heads may it rest." I climed down and saw weird etchings. Some language I've seen once or twice over the years in many of Giles books I couldn't read because, well, another language. "What do you see?" "Etchings...some kind of two headed statue thing poking out of the wall...what the hell is that." I looked closer. And stupidly, touched it. It went inside the wall and started glowing red and blue. "That cant be good." The light shot a beam of light, knocking me to the ground. I saw something moving before the darkness took me. |

I'm Xander Harris. My story is pretty short, but far from simple. There's adventure, romance, and a lot of pain...mostly pain. My life sucked growing up. I only had two best friends to speak of: Willow Rosenburg and Jesse. Along came a girl...most beautiful girl I'd ever seen. Saw her coming into school one day and BAM steel rail or teen love? Both actually. Her name? Buffy Summers. Found out she was a vampire slayer. Thought it was just some small thing at first, then Willow and I became Slayerettes. Been fighting by her side for going on eleven years now. Always watching her back...even when she doesnt know it. Few stories come to mind. Now live in Port Charles. I used to live next door to Buffy, but I took a job out of state for a while. Stuff happened and I had to get away. Don't even want to go inside my old house anymore. Too many memories I want to forget. Moving far far far FAR away from that subject... I work construction. At least for now, think of changing career paths. Just want a job where I make a difference and do something great. I'm not exactly part of the 'saving the world' lately. Been relatively quiet, no big apocalypses, nothing Buff can't handle alone or with De. Deina is one of our new Scoobies. She's awesome. Its why I gave her and her husband my house. They're family to me and thought since I wasnt going to need it when I had work in Boston, they could build a life there and still be close enough to Buffy so they can gossip and such. But going back to what I was saying, I just...when I die I want people to say, "That Xander was a great guy and made a difference." Sometimes miss how things were you know? Being an intracal part of saving the world. Sure I was mostly just backup...help on the occasional patrol, but I felt validated. That as long as I was in the forefront of helping, I was part of something not only important, but great. Lately it just seems I'm in the shadows of it all. I cant even tell you the last time something really evil went down and I was in the thick of it...at least in Port Charles. Sure I had those minor adventures in Boston and on Halloween (no longer my favorite holiday for so many reasons). But there was something missing. She wasn't there. I like it when she's there. I miss what we had. Seems we're drifting further and further apart and I don't want to drift. Holidays are coming up...hate to sound like a Scrooge, but Christmas has never been my favorite holiday. Just have to muddle through it. Hopefully next year will be better. |

Sanctuary. Its a hard place to find. No matter where you go. For years I've fought evil. Stood by my best friends side ready to die to protect the world and her and all those Scoobies I consider to be family. But where does a Zeppo go when he feels like the world is moving forward and he feels his friends are slowly leaving him beind? What is his destiny? Why is here? What's the next step? Where do you go from here? What do you do when you feel alone, even though there's always people around? |
