So, now what?

"So... now what?" Xander asked.

"Now the school day is over and I can escape your horrible species for a few miserable hours." Anya answered.

"Uh huh." Xander nodded his head. "Orrrrr we do something else."

Anya groaned, "What?"

"You want to get back in Hoff's good graces? Maybe go out of your way to show him you want to make amends. A little pain now for some reward later." Xander offered.

Anya clucked her tongue. "And I do that how? Flounce around you like an imbecile and simper at your inane drivel?"

Xander cocked an eyebrow, "Would that make HIM happy? To see you doing something you hate? What would make D'Hoffryn more happy? To have HIM see you stewing at home or to have HIM see you taking your punishment? I may not be a super smart guy but I know what the smart choice is. Do you?"

Anya opened her mouth to argue before she shut it. She scowled and her face went red. With a growl Anya slumped in on herself and after a second bobbed her head.

Her whole body language changed as Anya made up her mind. Her voice was up beat and chipper as she switched to a flirtatious posture, leaning into Xander boobs first and smiling at him. The whole thing brought to mind a stereotypical dumb blonde. "Gosh, Xander you are sooo smart. So much smarter then me. I didnt see it right away. Can you tell a dumb girl like me other smart things I should be doing? I'm so dumb I would be lost without a smart guy like you."

Xander felt his phone vibrate with a big alert. Which broke him out of staring in bewilderment at the show Anya was putting on. The dumb blonde act for some reason was a big hit with D'Hoffryn. He supposed he could see the reasoning. For someone like the patron saint of scorned women to act like a dumb blonde in public... that had to be humiliating.

"Oooooh- Kay." Xander slowy nodded his head. He held up his hands, "Just remember I'm not the one doing this. Okay? Don't hold a grudge. Okay? HE is making me do this just as much as HE is making you do this."

Anya giggled keeping with the dumb blonde act, she playfully slapped at his arm, as she crooned, "You are sooo silly, Xander. I'm not angry. I've been a very _bad _girl and need your big strong manly brains to help me make up for being a stupid girl. I deserve this for being a big dumb bad girl."

Xander stared again but was startled out of his amazement by the phone vibrating with an alert. "Riiiiiight."

"So where do you want to go? What do you want to do? I'm good with doing whatever makes you happy, Xander." Anya simpered.

Xander tried to ignore the next phone alert as he now had to think up something to do with Anya. Something that was going to be a suitable punishment for the Patron Saint of Scorned Women.
