Christ that was frustrating, but then again, so was all of high school. I like how progressive Joyce is, I like that Buffy is accepting of the fact that the boys are probably gay and she's just upset that she's being kept out of the loop. I wonder what this party will be about and if Riley will continue to be a sweet, if bland presence or if things are going to get ugly between him and Buffy.


Author's Response: She's definitely starting to come to terms with the idea, and now she really just wants Xander to be happy. The party is going to bring up some new issues...and as far as Riley goes...:) Thanks for the review!

That was a quick update. Review, bam, chapter. Don't imagine I'll get lucky twice. An interesting dynamic, indeed. Update soon!

Author's Response: Nope, sorry, the next one's not quite done yet. Tomorrow probably! Thanks for the review, again!

Gotta say, there are still a few things not quite adding up here. One of these days, they'll get to the bottom. Update soon.

Author's Response: Just posted the next chap! Things should begin to make sense soon. I hope...Thanks for reviewing!

My thoughts?... Things can be so very confusing in the situation like this. Xander's behaviour was much like jelousy... And Will? Oh my...
I like it that Buffy is taking her side with her brother, he is her familly after all. But Will has been a friend for a long time... she should probably try and find out what is going on for real, before actually side with one or the other.
loved the update!
I skii quite well myself, so it was funny to see how they had problems with it ;D

Author's Response: Definitely confusing, especially when no on will talk to you about it. Buffy on the show was always putting her family before anyone and that's something I couldn't change about her. She's definitely going to be doing some questioning in the next chapter! I've never actually been skiing before. I've watched people from the lodge, so yeah...Thanks for being such a loyal reviewer!!

I like that she's coming out of the veil of her crush on Will and she's honestly worried for her brother. The skating scene was great. I was always that kid whose parents didn't have enough money to take me to things like skiiing or skating lessons, so I know what that's like to be the clumsy one out. Can't wait to read the next chapter.

Author's Response: I have still never been skiing and my first attempt at ice skating was much like Will's. things are definitely more serious now, and Buffy is very conflicted about what's going one, especially since she doesn't really understand yet. Thanks for being such a loyal reviewer!

Lovely Christmas. And I'd wager she didn't imagine that. The start of something wonderful. Update soon.

Author's Response: Hmmm...we'll see. :) Thanks for reading!!!

That was just adorable.

Author's Response: Glad you think so! I learned at an early age that giving mom hand drawn portraits is a sure fire way to "win Christmas" and make her cry. Thanks!

Excellent chapter, makes me wish it was Christmas. Loved the spuffy moments. Can't wait until the next chapter!

Author's Response: Glad you liked! I was wishing it was Christmas as I was writing it. Thanks!

Christmass can never be too fluffy :)
and the end? awwwwww..... sweet! :D

Author's Response: I always worry about making it too fluffy and ruining the tone of the story. Glad you enjoyed it though!! Thanks!

I love this story so far and can't wait to see where you're going with it (and for the Spuffy, of course)! Please post soon!

Author's Response: I'm glad you like! I promise the Spuffy will be worth the wait, as I plan on dragging it out as long as possible...;) Thanks for reading and reviewing!

A little about Will's familly in here..
LOL jelousy and green icing at the end... quite fitting :)
can't wait to read more..

Author's Response: I hoped the green icing thing wouldn't be too obvious/cheesy, so i'm glad you liked it. Thanks for reading and reviewing!

Yay, Mario Kart! I don't think this chapter was filler--it teases out the relationship between Will and Buffy a little more in a subtle way.

Author's Response: I guess it just feels like filler cause I'm itching to get to more conflict. I am trying to form more of a foundation for Will and Buffy's future relationship, though. Thanks for reading and reviewing!!!

Really enjoying this read! (And I don't always go for highschool fics)
Like the characters and the suspense is really building. Looking forward to more (hopefully) soon!

Author's Response: I don't usually like high school fics all that much either. I wanted to write one that had something different that your typical Buffy and Spike are bffs in high school type of thing. More coming soon! Thanks for reviewing!

Great chapter! I gotta say, I'm very happy with how fast you're updating this story. =D

Author's Response: I just seem to keep writing these days, and I have big plans for the future of this story and I don't want it to take all year. :) Thanks for reading!

The baby's asleep, the dog's been walked and I've wrested the internet from my husband. Time for a more detailed comment on your story. I love the way this scene feels like an initiation for Buffy. It seems like her inquiry into the boy's relationship and the fact she's dating Riley have implied she's grown up enough to play a more equal part in their friendship, even if the boys still treat her like a kid. I also like the use of really sexual language in the scene that totally goes over Buffy's head.
The only critique I have is that I wish there'd been a sentence or two of description for the Aunt. She's mentioned but we don't know what she looks like.
Finally, just want to say I have a crush on this story like it's just rendered my portrait in sugar. Can't wait for the next post.

Author's Response: I really want this story to focus a lot on Buffy coming of age, hence this chapter. And I've gotta have some Spike innuendo, wouldn't be him without it! I know I definitely need to work on more descriptive things. I've done a lot of playwriting recently, so I have a tendency to focus on dialogue and action more than anything else. It means a lot that you like my story so much! It makes writing it even more enjoyable. Thanks so much for the detailed review!

LOL sounds like they're having fun there.
The three of them sharing a room... I wonder what happens next :)
thank you for the update!

Author's Response: Lots of fun! Stay tuned for more soon! Thanks for reading!

I like the bit about single people's Christmas decorations, that was so apt. Another chapter that reminded me of high school, you're so good at capturing the mood. Looking forward to more.

Author's Response: People without kids always have immaculate Christmas decor. I'm more of an eclectic homemade decoration kind of person.

Love that. Love how not phased Spike was by the whole question. And I love him drawing her in sugar. So very hot. Crush totally on. Update soon!

Author's Response: It's kind of difficult to shock Spike, I think. At least in my story...Thanks for reading!

One thing Buffy isn't taking into consideration, just because Will said they've never been a couple, doesn't mean they haven't been "together." Or maybe I'm just reading into it. Anyhow, enjoyed the chapter

Author's Response: Buffy is still very naive right now, so she wouldn't really think to even ask that...at least not yet. Thank so much!

This had the dual effect of giving us an answer to her question, yet building on the mystery of the situation further. It also brings back memories of skipping school and hanging out in diners doing stupid stuff to pass the time. Lovely chapter.

Author's Response: Exactly what I was going for! Thanks so much!

Heh.. :D That sugar thing at the end was, well, SWEET! :D Crush back on indeed... but all the same... she didn't exactly find out if they ARE gay or NOT. Just that they don't date :D
Poor confused Buffy... :)
waiting for the next update!

Author's Response: I'm glad you like the sugar thing, it made me smile while I was writing it! Thanks for reading!
