The Rest of Us

It helps when you're not alone.  It doesn't help when your best friend hates Jotaro.  *sigh* at least she liked Joseph, or seriously, LBARGH

PS if you haven't seen the music vid with this song & Xander, recommended watching.
PPS yes I will keep digging in the knife about Jesse because it's this huge thing that nobody remembers to the point I'm the only one of the friends showing me the show who even still remembers his name and seriously missed opportunity there Joss
because honestly why make up angst that makes no sense when all you have to do is follow up on things you've already written

        “Why’d he choose you all and not me?” Spike is pacing.
        Xander watches him go back and forth, back and forth.  It’s making him slightly dizzy, which probably means it’s been a little too long since he last took a nap, but he can’t summon up the energy to stop watching.  “It’s Ripper Giles.  Short for Constantine Giles.  He doesn’t tell us squat.”  He makes a face.  “Where does that phrase come from, anyway?  It’s weird.”
        Spike pauses, staring with shocked appreciation.  “Yeah, I c’n see that, but ‘ow the ‘ell d’ya know Constantine, luv?”
        Xander smiles sheepishly.  “There was this comic books store Jesse’s mom used to take us to.  Not too often, since it was on the outskirts of L.A., but every now and then.  We found those and it was all teenage boy stuff—danger, excitement, maybe even sex, saving the world while flipping off all things attempting to be authority figures the British way.  We didn’t buy any, since one of the parents would’ve found it, but we’d sit in there and we’d read the whole thing.”
        The blond almost looks gentle as he asks, “’oo’s Jesse?”, but it earns a stricken expression all the same.
