Rating: PG
Summary: Because it didn't exactly end with Band Candy. Thankfully, Buffy doesn't know that. Mostly.
Author's Note: Written for otahyoni's prompt "Five times Joyce and Giles made out completely by accident." Turned out to be epic, because apparently, I am actually incapable of writing anything short. I suck.

You know, a few short years ago, something like this would have been against all my personal beliefs. I like to think that I've really grown as a human being. Besides, I have come to a place in my life where I realize that Giles/Joyce would've been really nice, and actually lament its relative nonexistence.

However, just because I still feel sort of guilty -- Giles/Jenny <3 <3 <3 <3. For the record.

And no, the title is not a completely obscure reference to George of the Jungle. Because Giles walked into the tree when Buffy was all, "Unless you're too busy having sex with my mother!" Remember?!?! Yeah, that's what I thought. My titles rock.

( The summer after graduation, Giles comes face to face with the ugly reality that he is unemployed. )
