Anya curled up next to Xander as he pushed the "play" button on the remote, and the rest of the Scoobies arranged themselves around the living room, munching on the various snackage scattered at hand. Dawn frowned as the credits began rolling for "Harvey." "I thought it was supposed to be scary movie night," she said. "What's so scary about this?"

Willow picked up the other movie boxes. "‘Who Framed Roger Rabbit?' ‘Watership Down'? ‘Night of the Lepus'? ‘Monty Python and the Holy Grail'? Who picked these?"

"Ahn..." Xander started.

"What?" she answered. "They're the scariest ones I could find."

Notes: For my younger audience: "Harvey" is a classic movie with Jimmy Stewart about a man who is the only one who can see a six-foot tall invisible rabbit. "Watership Down" is animated, and based on the novel by the same name by Richard Adams, about a group of rabbits who abandon their doomed home and go searching for a new one. "Night of the Lepus" is a Z- grade horror flick about giant bunnies. And of course everyone knows about the killer rabbit in "Monty Python and the Holy Grail."

That's so cute. Love your inclusion of Harvey --- wonderful movie.

Thanks! Of course, a giant invisible rabbit would be even more horrifying to Anya. I'm sure she'd rather they stayed where she could see them, if they're going to be hanging around.

Love it! I always thought the killer rabbit in Monty Python could traumatize Anya for life. Very real, very true-to-Scoobies little fic.

*blush* Thanks!

Hee! I love this. Perfect Anya.

*grins* It practically wrote itself, once I sat down and actually did it. The concept has been sitting in my Plot Bunny (heh) file for quite some time. :-)

Hee. I knew, of course, of Monty Python and the Holy Grail, and I knew about Harvey after watching A Beautiful Mind and demanding that my dad explain one of the jokes to me. Thanks for explaining Watership Down and Night of the Lepus.

This was so funny. XD

*shock* You haven't read "Watership Down"???? Hie thee to your local used bookstore and grab a copy, sooner rather than later.

Glad you enjoyed. :-)

You know what would have been great? If one of the movies she rented was "Donnie Darko," which features a six-foot tall demonic bunny named Frank.
