Tsk... Xander doesn't let Anya talk. I'm sure there was something she wanted to point out. Cookies for Tara to notice. Maybe they'll have a chance now to find them.
~ Time moved different in both dimensions? Or it was a time jump. Buffy can count herself as lucky that Spike is with her :) He knows his way around.
Ah back. Hadn't it been for Spike Buffy would have panicked. Nobody gave Buffy time (room), they just shouted, glad to have her back. It's different now that they are back.
Spike doesn't have to worry about Buffy, he has to worry about Xander that he remembers Spike didn't get a headache. ~ Good remark to Xander :-D
Neat hiding hole Spike found; even spell proofed, that's thoughtful (but hopefully not needed).
Awe :) Spike is indeed only a demon :) I really hope Buffy won't have that kind of amnesia that will let her forget what happened when she lost her memory.

Author's Response: I thought it would be very likely that time would move differently in other dimensions and I wanted time for Buffy to get to know Spike. Twelve days in each other's company would allow for that. And Xander never seems to get called for the mean things he says and does, so I took the opportunity here.
