Giles and Xander have a lot of nerve , I can't wait for
spike to break his word , I hope he does.

Author's Response: It wouldn't be a Spuffy fic without it. ;)

What!!!!!! Spike just give in to what Giles wants just like that. That doesn't sound like Spike. Spike would have said forget you and get his girl. I hating Spike for giving in just so easily.

I don't read a lot of high school stories. But why does it seem like almost every high school story that I read. Has Xander obsess with Buffy. I like it when Xander is in love with his own girl. I don't like Xander obsess with Buffy. I always thought that he was better than that. but it is your story so write it the way you want to.

I hope spike has a friend somewhere in story besides buffy. He needs someone to care about him.


Have fun with your vacation. Hawaii is awesome.

Author's Response: He doesn't know her all that well yet. He feels they have some connection, but he has lived his own life away from Buffy for seventeen years. I'm trying to stray away from the "you complete me" that I see in so many high school fics. As far as Xander, I'm definitely not heading in the direction of Xander in the way. I want Spike to help Xander with his obsession. And, this is only season two, remember, so I think it's safe to say he is still obsessed with her. I know that it gets sort of dicey in six and seven (although it explains some of his motives) but a recurring theme of seasons one and two is Xander's obsession over Buffy, which is partially why the culmination of Becoming Part 2 is so brilliant. But he's going to be much more of a character, trust me. And Spike will have lots of friends. ^_^

Considering he was raised by monks, he should have a excellent education. Don't know how worldly he is but definately educated. How old is he anyway? Does his race age slowly or is he immortal? So many things to keep the watchers and us, excited and begging for more! Good Luck with classes, looking forward to more.

Author's Response: Classes went fine; I didn't get the one thing I wanted (which was the English intro) but I did get my Psych intro, which sadly is a 500 student class. Yeah, him being raised by monks will play a _BIG_ part in this story. Most of his character traits (some you already know, like his intelligence) will be directly because he was raised by monks. It'll be touched up on later. But you're definitely on the right track. ;)

I'm liking the story so far, the idea of Spike being a dragon is interesting. I'm a little leery of the Council of Wankers coming to investigate him???

Loved the Buffy thoughts, it seemed very much in character. Spike coming to the rescue and covering for Buffy was 'sweet'!!!

(The high school I went to would have burned that book, fired the teacher for letting that paragraph be read aloud, and given the student detention for the rest of the year for reading it out loud. The California school system must be so much more progressive and liberal???) :D

Looking forward to the next chapter!!!

Author's Response: It's one of the most challenged books in the US. I like it mostly because of that alone; the writing style isn't that great. But it does contain a plethora of feminist themes, and that's why I wanted to put it in, because a big part of Buffy was third wave feminism. I didn't think anyone would mind, considering there's much more crude stuff on this site. But yeah, I read it my senior year of high school, and lots of people complained about the crudeness and vulgarness of it. Didn't really think much about it, though. At my school we read it aloud in class all the time. And yes, council could be a problem. ;)

Uh-huh... surprise oral exam. Buffy can be really lucky that Spike was there with her and that he reads a lot; without reading the books she would have had no way to pass the test. Spike was really helpful... because it was Buffy I guess. They can be lucky too that it was a new teacher; the old one would have known that Spike is new and couldn't have known of the homework (reading list), and working together with Buffy.

Author's Response: It's happens sometimes; happened at my school all the time. ;) And yeah, Spike was very helpful to her.

That was very sweet how Spike helped ger out. Loved the chapter. You definitely got me hooked with this story. :)

Author's Response: =D Thanks! Sweet is good, right? ;)

You still have my interest with this one. I so felt Buffy's pain, I always hated to speak in front of the class when I was in school. Most of the time I wouldn't even know what to say, but I didn't have a Spike to help me out. Can't wait for more=)

Author's Response: Yeah, I was trying to capture that experience. That's why I had Spike go off on that "story is experience" tandem in class; it was kinda ironic because that's what I was trying to create. I personally have no trouble speaking in front of classes (I actually revel in it because it's one of those times I feel truly alive and on the edge) but I can definitely relate.

Great start! I can't wait to read more of this. :)

Author's Response: Thank you. I got part of chapter two done last night, but I was just too wasted from orientation to finish it.

Oh I really like it. Good to see you already decided to continue it :-D

Author's Response: Thank you. And yep, definitely continuing. =D

I really liked it! It is definiely different. You have captured the characters perfectly. I can't wait to read more.

Author's Response: :D Thanks. Different is good if its good to you. ;)

I love your idea! It is really very unique. I can't wait to see where this story goes. Please update soon.

Author's Response: Thanks! :D One of my goals was to create something unique; glad I've pulled through in the beginning. ;)

Oh yes, continue please! This sounds like it's going to be one hell of a fic. I can't wait for more! :)

Author's Response: More is already fully planned in my head, thanks to all these motivational reviews. Thanks for your support. ;)

hey i liked it. different and unique for me. i haven't read anything like this before. please continue. N

Author's Response: Thank you very much. These reviews are inspirational. =D
