A beep distracted Xander from the project he was working on, and he set it aside for a moment, going to the desk and opening his e-mail window.

Subject: Hi!

OMG we met Dracula!

...and then Buffy staked him. As she does. But still, Dracula!

...and then Spike bitched because she didn't wait for Spike to shake him down for the vast sums of money he apparently owed Spike before she staked him. As he does.

...I just said 'OMG.' I feel dirty. As I...don't usually. But OMG, *Dracula*.

So what've *you* been doing all week?

love, Willow

P.S. Your UC Sunnydale address should be working now; I attached instructions on how to log in, but I'm not sure if you can do it from Fandom. Still, if you want to give it out to people, it's xharris@ucsd.edu.


Xander blinked and typed up a reply:

To: wrosenberg@ucsd.edu
From: xander.harris@fandomhigh.net
Subject: re: Hi!

What'd I do this week? Talked to people, mostly. Conner about how weird the whole time-difference thing is, and to Broots (you'd like him; I think other-You does, anyway) about how he thought he was Rory at the time, don't ask because you don't want to know, and Bridge about our anniversary, which is this Sunday. And then Anders about evil herbivores, and Bridge again about cupcakes. As we do. And Callisto about...um. You really don't want to know. Anyway.

Monday we found another weird sixth floor room; there were raccoon tails. And gold coins; I grabbed a couple, but I'm not stupid enough to try to spend 'em. They'd probably turn into bricks or something. And Tuesday was my workshop, which was mostly a waterballoon fight. And was other-you's idea, so... thanks? And then, shockingly, more talking. To Bridge. About non-existent tv shows. And then later about camping. Which we're doing on Sunday. And then Thursday I ...helped Bridge study for class and then co-hosted the radio.

So....nothing real exciting except the studying part. Which honestly? I'm good with. Oh, there *was* a guy hanging out in the common room who made Bridge's head buzz, but Bridge doesn't seem to think he's dangerous. He's no *Dracula OMG*.

*mocks because I love*

love, Xander


Then he went back to his bed, where the contents of his project were spread out across the blanket.

Bridge frowns up at the vent before turning back towards Parker, eyes narrowed in thought. "Are you an only child?" he asks her.

Parker blinks at him, momentarily diverted from her frustration with Angelo. "What? I mean, yes. Mostly."

"I had a brother." She folded her arms, still rubbing at her forehead. "A twin. He died the day we were born. Why are you asking me about this?"

From: [identity profile] bridge-carson.livejournal.com
"I don't think he's dead," Bridge says, shaking his head. "Actually, I think he 's right here. Or not *right* here, because he just left through the vent..."

"What?" Parker stared at Bridge like he was going nuts, eyes wide, then looked at Xander. "Tell me he's been smoking something, because that's... that's just..."

"But that's-- it isn't possible, I saw our birthing video for Christ's... sake...." Parker's voice got smaller as she slumped back against the wall, stunned. "Oh my god."

"He said it himself," Bridge points out "'Share eyes'. And- that's not the only similarity. I could sense it. In his aura, and yours."

"No." Parker shook her head, less an answer than a denial of what Bridge had said. "I would've-- I should've known, he's been my friend for years, I --" Her face started to crumple, and her breathing went ragged, as she hugged herself harder. "I don't want to believe this."

"That part's good." Xander's support, and Bridge standing there, watching sympathetically, let her get herself mostly under control again. Parker took a lonnng breath.

There was no way to tell them about the other half of it. Bridge would, justiafiably, freak. So. Put it aside. Deal later.

"Now I just have to find him before he cliff-dives of the roof, or something."

Bridge gives Parker a searching look, aware that there was something about this that was *really* bothering her. More than just the idea of Angelo being her brother.

"Nadia." He says, looking up at the ceiling.

Date: 2006-08-13 03:08 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] mparkerceo.livejournal.com
"Nadia?" Parker sighed. "God, he's fast. Okay. Nadia's it is. Did he say anything else, Xander? I mean--" She sighed. "Is he okay?"

"At least he has that much sense." Parker sighed. "If he comes back, tell him I'm not mad. Just stay!" She rubbed her eyes. "I'm dealing with the other thing tomorrow."

From: [identity profile] mparkerceo.livejournal.com
"Thanks, Xander." She headed for the door, shaking her head, and muttering, "As soon as I get my hands on him, we're going to talk."

"See you later?" Bridge says to Xander as Parker all but drags him out the door and back upstairs.
