Well done

Author's Response: Thanks!

I am sure there are "jerks" no matter where you go.

Its New Orleans I wouldn't want to go to... not before Katrina and definitely not after. Great places to eat., but has the normal big city problems.

And my attitude toward the whole thing is .. our Gov. and the Mayor of N.O. didn't let anyone in until the last minute.. there were buses ready.. And if you check into the history of the money for the levees you might find a lot of it went elsewhere lets say.. some people have nice marinas around their homes.

Anyway.. enjoying your story.. And just hope for a good game from each team.

Anyway, said enough.

Author's Response: I agree. Michigan was terrible this year. Yes, all I want is a good game. Good luck to you and may the best team win!

"Give her a few vamps, a demon here or there…anything but this" *chuckles* Sounds like me when I had my first presentation!!! LOL!!!

Awwww, they walked hand in hand!!!

And eeek!!! He told Riley they'd met before? Oh-no-no-no-no-NO!!! You have me sooo worried, you evil-evil woman! Fix this soon, please??????

Loved this, and no crave for more... and I mean NOW! LOL!!!

Hugs and kisses!

Author's Response: Yeah, thank GOD I've never had to give a presentation like that! No, no no no all you want, it's still coming down! Crave, crave more your greedy woman!

such a sad chapter... beautifully written though. off to read more

Author's Response: It is sad. It's only the tip of the iceberg for poor Spike, this thing is going to near scramble his brain. Which on the show, I'm surprised it didn't do more damage. Thanks for the review

wonderful chapter, poor spike with buffy swinging hot and cold. great that he has the gem. off to read the next

Author's Response: From my memory, Buffy has never known or trusted herself emotionally, so of course her moods are way out of wack. Thanks for the review!

loved the scoobies like this really well written chapter. just caught up with what i hadn't reviewed or read before sorry

Author's Response: Oh you're so sweet Vara! Thanks for coming back and reviewing all the chapters you missed. Yeah, I was tired of the Scoobies being all nasty like. grrrr.

Gotta say that was one entertaining presentation... lol!
Spike's knowledge definitely came in handy, I enjoyed hearing his personal inner thoughts throughout the report. His comparison between Buffy's color and Dru's pasty white bum really gave me a case of the giggles. :D Loved the cliffhanger-y ending of the chapter. Fantastic update!

Author's Response: LOL, thanks Mary. I thought up that pasty bum thing on the spur of the moment. But the rest were kinda planned. I had to chuckle myself. Thanks for the review, as always Mary, you're a gem!

oh, my. poor spike:.(

Author's Response: I know...Sigh. But, it's gonna get worse before it gets better. Thanks Jeanie for the review!

Awe, poor Spike. And with the shield gone Buffy will now exactly know what he is thinking. Maybe she'll be surprised.
Happy New Year!

Author's Response: She will be surprised...especially during the exam! But she really does have a secret soft spot for him. Thanks for the wishes, hope your New Year was great as well! Thanks for the review Cordy!

Oh no! Looks like things are taking a scary turn for poor Spike. :( After a bit of looking I found the I Spuffy vid... the song fit the goings on of chapter perfectly, thanks for recommending the vid by the way I really enjoyed watching it. :D Great update!

Author's Response: Isn't that a great vid??? I love that song and I have to keep from crying when I hear it! Gah! Yes, poor Spike is so inundated with information it's just spilling out like Dru's ramblings. And yes, Buffy is genuinely upset at the turn of events with Spike and the chip. Thanks Mary for the great review!

Poor Spike.. Can't shield his thoughts anymore..

Sad.. what good is the ring if he is insane..



Author's Response: My thoughts exactly. Great, you're invincible...but you're also a basket case. Go figure. Buffy knows he can't shield them, but Spike doesn't. Ouch. Thanks!

Aww! Loved it! I'm so happy she told him that she believes in him, just what he needed to hear. Really great update, can't wait for the next chap! :)

Author's Response: Thanks so much Pet! He does need that sometimes, doesn't he? Everyone does. Thanks for the review hun!

Good to hear you're better :)
Awe :) Spike didn't want the ring and surprised Buffy. But she understood his reason. And she trust him after all :) I guess that was all he needed.
And Willow is responsible... well so far the spell did only good and was funny.
~ Till next time.

Author's Response: Yup, mostly better. Well, Spike's self esteem is low, unlike his ego. Buffy's gonna have to do some major stroking in that department. Ugh, that sounded perverted. Oh well. Thanks!
