I'm here with you I dislike the Immortal with a screaming bloody passion. Therefore I guessing I will hate the comic books Joss is writing (with the information I have now about it)... because it's about Buffy living in Italy with the Immortal *shudder* But on to your story:

Buffy and her friends were attacked in Italy? I wonder why this happened. *Immortal cough? I wonder if he had something to do with it.* And now Spike is in a hurry to go back? After Andrew mentioned Xander.... *on the next one*
