Xander Harris took a deep breath as he looked up. Never in his life had he been so intimidated. He didn't know how or why it was always him that ended up in these situations, but he hoped the Powers That Be were enjoying their cosmic chuckle at his expense.
Xander had seen some pretty awful things in his life. He'd faced some truly horrifying demons and witnessed the people he loved the most go through excruciating pain. Within their relationship there were times when Anya had dipped into the realm of cruel and unusual, and still nothing had ever terrified him as much as what was before him now.
Why was he here? Because Buffy had asked him to be. Xander didn't have superpowers. He couldn't fight. He didn't know how to use magic. His job was simply to be there whenever he was needed. Buffy had a task for him, and he wasn't about to let her down. He wanted to show her, as well as all the potentials, that regardless of physical ability he was still a useful ally and was willing to do what he could to help.
Alright then. Let's do this. Glancing around nervously, Xander filled his shopping cart to the top with the little pink boxes off of the shelf. He then hurried out of the feminine products aisle, praying to get through checkout before he ran into any of the guys from work.
