Sheena the jungle girl

Joyce closed the front door behind her as softly as possible, trying to get out without her daughter making a scene. Only to run face first into her best male friend. With a gasp she clasped her coat tighter to her, "Xander!"

"Heya, Missus S." xander gave her a curious look, "Uuuuh, what ya doing?"

Rolling her eyes Joyce sagged a bit, "Xander... I am not in the mood for a scene with Buffy tonight, so I am getting out of here before Her Majesty is done." Joyce pointed up to the second floor where no doubt Buffy was still getting ready.

"And you are doing this why?"

Joyce looked up at the second floor and then back at Xander, "I'm trusting you to be mature about this... Soldier."

Xander stood at attention, "Ma'am."

Opening her coat Joyce briefly allowed the young man to see her in her costumed. She was even mildly amused and slightly enjoyed seeing him jolt as his eyes got wide and stared at her. She did a small pose with a cocked hip in his direction, show casing her leopard skin Jungle girl two piece outfit. She was no Tanya Roberts, Joyce was a realist, but she was working what she had.

"Whoooooa nelly." Xander slowly hissed.

With a smiled and a chuckle Joyce shut her coat, concealing her costume from Xander. "That's why. I'm not looking for an argument about appropriate attire with my daughter who owns nothing but skin tight jeans and short mini skirts."

"Hhhhhence why Buffy thinks your going to L.A. to look at art for the gallery." Xander nodded his head. "Gotcha."

"Smart boy." Joyce inclined her head. "Keep an eye for Buffy for me. I don't expect any trouble but..." She trailed off as she walked to her car.

"But." xander nodded his head, he then quirked his head to the side, "And if there is trouble?"

"I'll be at the Kendall's masquerade ball. Call only if there's trouble."

Xander saluted. "Ma'am." he about faced and headed for the door only to stop, turn back and look at her as she was getting into her car, "If you run into any trouble give it your best Tarzan yodel and I'll come running."

"I'm a big girl Xander, I can take care of myself."
