Great chapter. Love that Spike and Buffy got to know each other a little more. It was wonderful to read that Buffy is feeling something for Spike as well. It is about time she realizes what a hottie William is. Although, I'm afraid she is going to be like the Buffy from the show. Meaning that she is going to be in denial when it comes to showing her feelings for William. That she is going to be in denial about Spike when it comes to herself, the crew, and William. That she is going to be all avoiding William because Buffy is stubborn that way. I have that feeling that Buffy is going to try to avoid William by reading this chapter. Just like the way Buffy was on the show. LOL I also don't really like Willow in this story. I know she is Buffy's friend and is protective of her. I totally get that. But I do think Willow is hard on William when she doesn't even know him. This is like the third or second time Willow wanted to get after William and she doesn't even know the guy. So, I'm not a fan of Willow in this story. I hope that Spike is making friends or at least a friend in this story. Buffy has Giles, Willow along with the rest of the crew, and now she is trying to get Dawn. She may be alone but at least she has friends and family that care for her. This Spike has nobody. Really just like Spike from the show. That always made me sad for Spike on the show because he really didn't have anybody to support him. Anybody that really cared for him at times. I do agree that pretty much everybody has secrets in their life. I guess Dawn was Buffy's secret from the crew. I wonder if Spike has any. I'm sure that Spike is going to be keeping an eye out for Buffy on this mission to get Buffy's sister. He will probably be protective over Dawn in time as well. That is just how William is. Look forward to reading what happens next.
