"Ok, everybody to the table." Joyce shouted as she maneuvered around Giles and Jenny Calendar who were finishing filling the glasses with water and setting out the other side dishes.
"Coming Mom!" Buffy's voice echoed in from the front room, the sounds of the holiday TV special "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer" still coming from the TV just as some elf on the show was talking about Bumble's bouncing.
Willow and Buffy then bounced into the room wearing bright holiday sweaters and were quickly followed by Andrew and Jonathan who were holding a rousing conversation in Klingon.
"Now boys, what have I told you about speaking Klingon at the table?" Joyce chided Andrew and Jonathan with a smile on her face as she entered the dining room for the final trip with a green bean casserole and a set of serving utensils.
"Sorry Ms. Summers," Andrew said as he and Jonathan looked a bit sheepish about being caught in geek mode, so they nodded and simply took their spot at the table only for Jonathan to pause.
"Hey, how did you know it was Klingon?" Jonathan questioned with a startled look on his face.
"Well I used to have a crush on Captain Kirk." Joyce said with a wink, which left both Andrew and Jonathan speechless as they watched Ms. Summers waltz around the table depositing food.
