Heh. I pretty much decided that if Xander met Xander, I wouldn't be able to contain the universe-destroying fallout. So I settled on keeping it to the imaginary conversation, plus Spike's report on seeing Zeppo!Xander walk by while Xander and Dawn stay tucked safely out of sight.

I'm so very glad you enjoyed the story! I mean, I'm happy when anyone tells me they liked it, but especially you. Curious: did you let S. know what/who you were reading? :D
