"Look at him," Anya breathed out, her eyes glued to Xander. "Have you ever seen anything so masculine?"
"You mean Guerrero or his wife?" Buffy asked, thinking that she was referring to the woman speaking.
"She's talking about Xander," Kitty informed them.
The University was breaking ground on the site for a new cultural center, and Xander was hired by the construction company to help build it. He was standing to the side with a few other men, wearing a tank top and hard hat with a shovel in hand. They just had to get through the ceremony part.
"Oh. Very manly. Not at all village people," Buffy noted.
"Says the one in a cowboy hat," Kitty said, looking at the black hat on Buffy's head. That and her brown suede skirt made her look very Western.
"Says the one in a bucket hat," Buffy shot back.
Kitty tugged the ends of her white bucket hat down, keeping it secure on her head. "Bucket hats are cute. You look like you're missing a horse."
Buffy shook her head while smiling before looking back at Xander. "Well, it's much sexier than the outfit from his last job."
"Oh, I miss the free hot dogs on sticks," Willow complained. "Least we still get pastries from Kitty."
"I'm imagining having sex with him right now," Anya suddenly announced. She had no problem discussing how intimate she and Xander were. Frequently.
They tuned back into the speech that was being given. "And that's why it's appropriate that the ground-breaking for the UC Sunnydale Cultural Partnership Center is taking place so soon before Thanksgiving. Because that's what the melting pot is about — contributions from all cultures, making our culture stronger."
As the woman finished her speech, most everyone clapped. Buffy and Kitty did as well before Willow stopped them.
"What a load of horse hooey," she grumbled.
"We have a counterpoint?" Buffy asked.
"Yeah. Thanksgiving isn't about the blending of two cultures. It's about one culture wiping out another. And then they make animated specials about the part with the maize and the big, big belt buckles. They don't show you the next scene, where all the bison die and Squanto takes a musket ball in the stomach," she ranted.
