Lord I just want to slap the Scoobie sometimes...yes even the indomitable Giles! While caution must be a way of life for those who fight vampires and all other manner of beasties you'd think they'd have learned to try and foster goodness and selflessness wherever it shows itself - it's not like there's that much of it to go around in the first place so you'd wanna sow the seeds where you can wouldn't you? Still lovin' it.

Author's Response: The hypocricy of many of the Scoobies drove me around the bend as well, especially in seasons five through seven. For the "good guys," they were terribly elitist. Oh well. Thanks for reviewing!

Love your story! Pleas write more soon! Thanks!

Author's Response: I'm working on it! :-) Thanks for commenting!

This story is unique and such a delight to read. Thanks so much.

Author's Response: Thanks for taking the time to comment! I'm glad you're liking it so far.

Wow, Meret's going to get big!

Poor Spike, he really does try. Geez, I never got why Willow and Tara never chipped in with rent. They knew how hard things were for Buffy, how broke she was. She had to carry that whole household on part time at the Doublemeat. It was beyond ridiculous. And unfair. Dawn was old enough to get a part time job, too. You can do that at 15, and the responsibility would have been good for her. She had too much free time to get in to trouble.

Author's Response: I spent most of season 6 wanting to slap each member of the Scoobies silly in turns, especially when it came to the whole money issue. I really hope it was simply an oversight on Joss and co.'s part, because if it wasn't the whole "We spent all of Joyce's life insurance money and you didn't leave a policy so we brought you back from the dead to pay the bills" vibe I was getting was absolutely intentional. Grr. Thanks for reviewing!

Ohhhh he's such a sweety *hugs Spike*

Author's Response: Hee hee. :-) Thanks for commenting!
