Awww thanks! I was hoping people would find the Slayers "asking him out" so they can keep an eye on him and make sure that he's okay (and so they report back to certain anxious friends that he's okay) kind of sweet.

As for what have they done to Xander and why....well, that's all coming out in the wash very soon. ^_^

I seem to remember reading a nutrition book that said "dried fruit is nature's candy" so the line isn't entirely of my creation, cracktastic as it is. (The original context I read it in was even funnier because it was all dried fruit, not just raisins).
