Thank god it's Friday and I only have to wait until tomorrow. You are still posting the next chapter on Saturday aren't you? This is sooooo good. Lorne really is spot on. I love this story and am counting down. Please please please keep on going - and quickly!!!
Author's Response: Hi sweety. Yes, I'm still posting tomorrow as promised. Glad you like Lorne - he is sooooo much fun to write. I do hope you enjoy chapter 18 - it will be on the romantic side (yup a little fluffy territory). Thanks for the review and let me know what you think of 18.

I am really enjoying this story. Hope the happier chapters are posted soon. I understand that some angst is necessary . You need conflict and resolution to carry the story along and keep us all interested but a little bit of happiness for our couple would be nice. I'm so enjoying Lorne in this fic. Great writing, spot on character voices. I will be anxiously awaiting new postings.
Author's Response: Oh yes, the happier chapters will be posted soon, promise. Yes, unfortunetely without angst and obstacles all you have is fluff or romance - not really my thing. Glad you like the characters, I found it easier to rely on canon personality in most cases... but it's fun that way too. I do hope you enjoy chapter 18, it will be posted saturday. Thanks for the lovely review and for giving my story a shot sweety.

I don't usually review this early in a fic but this chapter had me laughing so hard and I just had to tell you how much I'm enjoying it. So glad that Lorne is in this too. Love him. I'm a little nervous about what's to come but your writing is so good and I'm intrigued by this plot, so I'm forging ahead. nana, naaaa, na naa, na, I'm getting a man-ho'. Totally cracked me up! Loved it! Go you.
Author's Response: That's so wonderful, I luuuuuuuuuuv to make people laugh. My sense of humor lands somewhere between Anya and Lornes - obviously why I love to write them. Glad that you reviewed to let me know you're enjoying it so far. I hope you like the rest as well... I realize this fic may not be for everyone, but it's created with the best of intentions to entertain. So glad you dropped by to review sweety, thank you so much.

I started this fic long time ago and somehow I stopped reading. But I am happy that I found it again and read all the chapters in one. I´m so happy that there are some happier chapters coming, but there will be much more... Well, I´m interested in reading this fic and now I´m doing my best to not forget that I read this one. I even try to review even it is difficult for me, because I´m German and much better in reading than writing. But I try.
So, looking forward.. hugs
Author's Response: Oh sweety, you made my day. I'm so happy you found it again too and reviewed to let me know. I think you've done a wonderful job writing this review and I can't thank you enough for taking the time to do so. Hugs and kisses.

Your story has kept me on my toes; I can't wait for the next chapter. Now for a little more romance...
Author's Response: Good, glad to hear it, I think it would be boring if everything went too smoothly. Glad you enjoyed the chappy hon and thanks for the review. Romance, straight ahead, to the spike mobile we gooooooooo.

This was a great update, and a wonderful Lorne ! I like him so much here!
Really enjoying the developments , and the ending is sweet and promising. Spike so happy thinking he is going to meet his girl soon. :)
Thank you so much for the lovely reading !
Author's Response: Glad you enjoyed it sweety. Yup, Lorne always makes things right even if Buffy did figure some things out for herself. William is super stoked he's going to see Buffy again, but will also be a bit apprehensive at the same time. Not to worry though, Buffy's plans will put him at ease. Thanks for the lovely review sweety.

omg! love it! that you made buffy so resourceful was brilliant! i can't wait for the next chapter. i am so addicted to this fic, hmm, wonder if there's a support-group for obsessive readers? never mind. wonder what buffy has in store for our not-so-innocent william? keep them coming! (hehe, couldn't resist)
oh, by the way, i'm so jealous of buffy. a versace dress and matching shoes as a prezzie. *sigh*, a dream come true.
Author's Response: LOL, I'm soooooo happy you like my story, and that you enjoyed this chapter. Yeah, Versace and a spa day - what girl could resist, especially with a friend like Lorne. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised by Buffy's plans. It definetely won't be something you're expecting, teehee, I had to tease a bit. Thanks so much for the wonderful review hon.

Oh Girl! I knew this was gonna be good, but you have really out done yourself! I CAN NOT wait to see what Buffy has instore for Spike, or should I say William ;)
AMAZIN' doesn't even begin to say what I think about this fic! Kuddos Sweets!
Author's Response: Thanks sweety, I knew you would like this chapter, and of course, the next will be Buffy's plans for............... William.

Date: 10/09/2006 - 07:48 pm Title: Surprises
Love it! Glad things are back on a positive note...for now, at least.
Author's Response: Thanks hon, yup, happiness straight ahead.

I swear this chapter took me back to my high school years (in a good way) with the whole helpful friend intervention. That Lorne is such a sweetheart! I loved their day together (and I so want to treat myself to some spa time). I was happy that Buffy had some time to process the other evenings events and to realize that perhaps she jumped to some wrong conclusions. I can't wait to see what you have cooked up for their next time together. As always, great chapter.
Author's Response: LOL, yeah, good 'ol Lorne to the rescue. Of course Buffy figured out a lot of things just from what Lorne told her. She'll be treading into make-up territory, and I think you'll like what she has planned. Thanks for the great review sweety.

Oh my god there is nothing that can be said this moment in time that was just well I can't describe how I feel but can I get one of those chocolate massage things it sounds yummy....sorry sorta drifted there for a moment as I was saying I can wait to find out what going to happen when Spike get around to Buffy's much spuffiness I hope but then you have prewarned us there will be agnst too so prewarned is for told and I'm prepared to cry my eyes out again...al in the name of good writing which this is and getting better with every chapter....I'm wafferling now update soon spikes mrs
Author's Response: Oh yes, and that chocolate souffle wrap is for real. I did the research into spa 415 in Beverly Hills and checked it all out. I figured everyone would enjoy a bit of chocolate. I hope I don't make you cry later on, but just know the spuffy luvin is coming up soon, and of course after the next round of angst too. Oh thank you, I hope my writing is getting better, I feel like it is, but it's hard to judge my own work. Of course the beta's are what make all the difference in the world. Thanks for the lovely review hon.

I just started reading this story and wow!!!! I could not tear myself away from the computer (even though I should be studying right now lol) and I can't believe I never saw this story before! It's so good! I love how you wrote both Buffy and William...and Lorne too! it's just so perfect. I hope you post again soon. =)
Author's Response: Squeeeee, I love getting new readers, it so exciting to hear the responses. I'm thrilled you came aboard for the ride hon. Hope you got some studying done though, wouldn't want to be responsable for bad grades. Glad you like everything so far, and hope to hear from you next chapter as well.

Wow... what a great chapter. Bye-bye Riley, you will not be missed. Holy crap this was really a loaded chapter. So much emotion going on. I was really happy that Spike got to see Buffy breaking up with Riley rather than continue his original assumption that she was on a date. I think you already have enough angst working for you in this chapter without that added piece of misery. I can't wait to see how hurtful words, even unfinished, are mended. I'm also curious to see what it will take for Buffy to overcome her own insecurties.
Author's Response: LOL, yeah, he had to go. There was a lot of emotions running high that night, causing all sorts of problems. The next few chapters will be better, but the angst isn't over yet, sorry. It's to soon for them to get together just yet. Hope you like the next chapter hon, and thanks for the wonderful review.

I have faith in the Spuffy!! Can't wait for more. Oh, and I visited England for the first time this past weekend...brilliant country. Love it!
Author's Response: Really? I'm so jealous, I won't get to go for at least 3 more years. But I will get there. So glad you liked the chappie, thanks and look to saturday for chapter 18.

Date: 10/09/2006 - 01:33 pm Title: Surprises
I'm still reading and enjoying!! My computer time has become limited so I don't always get to review. I just wanted you to know that I was still here and still hanging on to every word!!
Author's Response: Thank you, I'm so glad you're still with me and still enjoying it. I really appreciate the review too, I understand it's not always possible, so no worries. Thanks again sweety, and I hope you enjoy next chapter as well.

The shopping trip was all kinds of fun. Lorne was a good balance of effervescence and calculation. I liked his quiet observation of Buffy, and I was delighted with the outcome of the chapter. Buffy really isn't being manipulated, she's coming to her own conclusions. I'm looking forward to her plans for Spike, or is it going to be William finally?
Author's Response: Thank you hon, I appreciate you looking deeper into everything. It's important for the readers to know that although Lorne is there to fix things, that Buffy is not so stupid or a bitch to realize things for herself. Ah, I think you'll enjoy her plans, and it's for William, not Spike. Thanks for the truly wonderful review.

Date: 10/09/2006 - 12:34 pm Title: Surprises
Yes, here I am sticking it out to the bitter (well spuffy) end! I can't wait to find out what Buffy has planned for sweet shy william! Loved the day-at-the-spa-with-Lorne! He must be so much fun to write and whenever he's in a tale, it's always fun to read cause he is just so happy! I didn't like Angel the series until seson 5 (unless Spike was in the episode), but Lorne made the other seasons tolerable (once he showed up as a regular!). More please.
Author's Response: Glad you liked it sweety. I LOVE writing Lorne and your right, he's always so happy and helpful. I adored him in Angel, it helped balance all the brooding Angel did. I think you'll really enjoy what Buffy is cooking up for William. Thanks so much for sticking with me sweety, and the great review.

I just love Lorne! Great chapter!
Author's Response: Thanks hon, he's fun to write.

Date: 10/08/2006 - 05:26 pm Title: Surprises
I really like how far this got them all....and I think Lorne as a friend for Buffy is great--he's also a great friend for Spike :)
I hope you are in fact able to update this soon (and maybe then my internet will be consistently here and I can leave a better, longer review)
Author's Response: Thanks hon, I really wanted Lorne to have a heart of gold when it comes to those he cares about. Look forward to saturday for chapter 18 sweety, and I hope you internet doesn't go wonky on you either. Thanks for the lovely review sweety.
