First off, you are welcome. Believe me, I understand the negative vibes from naysayers about BTVS, etc. They don't get it, so you're not supposed to, right? Anyway, wonderful chapter. I think the explaination was wonderful. Luv, spuf

Author's Response: *sigh* closeminded people...and I'm glad you liked the explanation, it was a little insane but like I said it is Dru =D Thanks a million for the feedback!

hmmm I want to know why Spike/William pretends he is British?......hmmmmmm.

Author's Response: um I think I put in an earlier chapter that he went to a british school when he was a preteen and kept the accent just to piss off his parents =D but I may have deleted it...I'm not big on organization, lol

Enjoying the story.

Author's Response: thanks for telling me =D

I love this fic! It is super cute! I can't wait for you to update! Post soon! Kuudos!

Author's Response: wow, thanks! =D I'll try to post soon...my family thinks they have every right to use the computer as much as I do *puzzled look*

great great great great. i want a confession like that from spike. please. to hold me in his arms and tell me that he has been in love with me for a long time. you are a great writer.

Author's Response: thank you thank you thank you thank you =D And I'd love a confession like that, too *dreamy look* Oh, well, that's why I write! And it's absolutely wonderful to be told I'm good at it. My ego thanks you. *slaps jumping ego down and scolds it to behave*

sorry i wasnt trying to accuse you or anything, but it sounded very familiar. I'm thinking it couldve been from the show itself or maybe a movie. But if others have a line like that, then it is possible to have been from the show. BTW i just finished reading your whole story and it great. I love it.

Author's Response: Oh, I didn't think you were trying to accuse me of anything--it's just I read over that, and you're right, it is terribly familiar, and so I kind of got worried and suspected myself =D So I changed it. And wow, you read the whole thing so far? I'm flattered--thanks!

This was an excellent chapter, very cute. The "“Think we should go help him?” Silence." and the “Amish-ish?” parts were the best. I think that you do wonderful with the comedy parts, just so you know. I can't wait for more. Please update soon.

Author's Response: Aww, thanks! It's so wonderful when someone tells me I write comedy well, because to be honest I have this freaky insecurity about writing comedy...I read all the "funny" bits I've written, and I think they suck. So thanks an absolute ton! =D

loved this update

Author's Response: thanks =D

thanx for adding the phone conv, i really enjoyed it.....one of the things i love most about halloween is shocking your partner with hotness so good job there and your evil for not telling us there outfits lol! Poor poor Lorne, i hope Cordy doesnt go to roughly on him. But maybe he can bring out the part of her thats not a bitch? I loved the whole talk between Buffy and Spike through their horniness and the eating innuendo made me lol! Anya was hilarious as usual and i dunno if ive told you this but i love Faith in this story. Shes still a ho, nothing will ever change that, but shes a good friend! Great job on this awesome updte and i cant wait for more!xxx linz

Author's Response: I have this weird habit of using phone convos to show what the characters think of things =D but I'm glad you enjoyed it...I kept thinking of S2's "Halloween", and I HAD to do a sexy Spuffy one *g* And yeah--poor, poor Lorne, lol. The convo between Spike and Buffy was one of my favorite parts, hehe. Thanks for saying you like Faith--I've got a few friends like that, so I know what you mean about how she'll always be a ho =D Thanks BUNCHES for reviewing again!!

Luved the update... :D imma add ur LJ.. im k155_me btw ok? poor Spike, i hate it when they bring ur mom up LOL :P cya xx

Author's Response: added you =D and thanks for the review!

Right now, you and Mrs Muir are the ones I anxiously look for to post chapters and stories. Went to your LJ and liked that too. I just wanted to tell you to hang in there even though your family doesn't understand. Whenever my mom (this was a few years ago now!) would complain about some hobby or craft I was interested in I used to play the old 'would you like it better if I was on drugs? Or partied all weekend? Or sleeping around with boys?' When you think about it writing fanfic is a harmless amusement, certainly in comparison with what you could be up to. (Of course I was actually in a very scary religious cult, but she didn't know that at the time so didn't know to worry about that yet. *g*). Anyway, you've a talent and you are working at your art, honing your craft. As long as you aren't performing scary rituals in the basement, they should be thrilled you are doing something so constructive with your time. Thanks for the quick chapters, and keep writing. You do have the gift! And so far the story is progressing nicely, with the humor and the angst. I was also thinking when I was reading that when you write the interactions between Buffy and her parents, her reactions to the situations and statements just scream to me 'her mama raised her right'. About you. And I'm from LA, so I don't know where I'm channeling that from, but there's just something very balanced and grounded in your perspective on those relationships, and how Buffy comports herself even under major stress with them. Very nice. :-)

Author's Response: Wow...thanks so much =D That's one of the things I was most worried about with this fic--that Buffy would come off as immature, or that people would think Joyce was just over-the-top horrible. Your saying that I'm being balanced and grounded about it is incredible. And I've done the whole "At least I'm not (fill in nefarious teen activity here)" *grin* I haven't joined any freaky religious cults yet =D but in a way, Spuffy's sort of a cult...minus the animal sacrifices in the basement. And you were right about honing my skills--I write fanfic to work out things in my writing that I think I need practice with, like funny dialogue or structered character development or whatever. And of course I write it because it's like you said a harmless amusement. I'd like to be able to say more to both you and spufette, because your encouragement mean an absolute ton to me, but the truth is that I'm having trouble finding the words to express my gratitude. It's nice to know that I'm not the only black sheep, and that lots of other people go through their family disapproving of them =D So thank you again and again.

Woo hoo! Cute chapter.GOing to check out the LJ

Author's Response: thanks =D glad you liked it!

I love how you saw the hint of anger in Giles and the twist with Ethan being an old teacher. What he wrote to her was so sweet, i cant wait to see where this goes now! I demand Spuffy lol...please update when you can :)

Author's Response: i was actually a little worried that I'd made Giles too mean--apparently not =D glad you liked it...thanks bunches for reviewing!
