Xander might have signed into the UC Sunnydale dorms, but he wasn't moved there yet. His belongings -- including his packed up laptop, since no wireless until he got it to campus -- still sat in a neatly-stacked pile in the Summers' dining room. The trip back to fetch them had been derailed until way too late by Buffy pausing to rid the campus bookstore of a bad case of Skench Demon. As you do.
But the Summerses had a couch -- one with, unlike Giles's, actual cushions on it -- so at the moment there was also a Xander there.
And a phone that still wouldn't connect to other dimensions, though after the third repetition of The number you have dialed he'd given that up for the night and was just lying in the dark playing stored voicemails over and over again.
There was also a frog. Wearing a badge. It was stuffed and not purple, but Xander decided it wasn't fair to blame it for that; besides, he kind of liked green. Plus, he'd determined purely for scientific purposes and only after everybody else had gone to bed, it tolerated hugs a lot better than the other kind of frog.
