Just For the Halibut

“Xander,” Spike smirked, whispering. “Xander.”

“Shut up,” Xander mumbled, flailing an arm in Spike's general direction. “Can't torture me so let me sleep.”

Spike leaned back and blinked about a half dozen times before an evil grin lit up his face.

“What's that tuna you're humming? Salmon Chanted Evening. Get it? The tuna is Salmon Chanted Evening. I know, that one was cod awful but don't worry, a lot more where that came from. What's wrong luv? You seem to be floundering. Nothing to carp on about. Not like I have a sole or anything, just fish and a chip.”

Xander rolled over and stared, unblinking, at the ceiling. Oh God, he'd been wrong. Spike could torture him.

Heeheehee. Cute!

Took me ages to figure out the Zander Lake in my area is named after the zander *fish,* not a misspelling of the name Xander...

There's a fish called Zander? Much better than a fish called Wanda, don'cha think? Thanks for that. Seriously cool. Very glad I went with fish puns now.

... and now I'm wondering if Spike chose fish puns because he knew about the zander fish. Gotta love the way my brain works, sometimes.
