okay......i have the strangest sense of humor. i giggled madly when spike came in with a broken toe. i mean, of all the injuries he could possibly have. i think it's soooo cute that he's afraid of needles. i am too. anyway........loved it sooooooooo much. yes, spike has a lot to learn but i think buffy is gonna have a fun time teaching him. he's in for some big surprises. first it's hate and then it's lust and then its all consuming passion and then maybe a few other consuming feelings in between (lol) and then its the big LOVE!!!! lol. i know it's gonna be so much fun getting to that point with these two. great job. tell your muse to take a bow. he delivered!!!!! more soon.
Author's Response: Hee hee, it is a pretty sad injury huh? Oh yeah - the fear of needles, its something a lot of people have, even the toughest of guys. I like your summation, hate, lust, passion and then something in -between. Yup, that pretty much says it all as Buffy teaches him the lessons he needs to learn before love can blossom. Giggles, my muse is grinning ear to ear, he says thank you and I of course thank you for such a wonderful review sweety. Smoochies.

Wow. That scene was incredible!
Author's Response: Giggles, glad you liked it hon, thanks for the review.

lol great chapter, thanks!
Author's Response: You're most welcome sweety, glad you enjoyed it and thank you for the great review. Hugs.

Haha, this chapter was so funny. :) Glad they got to see each other again, and it's great seeing Buffy in control! AND YAY TARA!! I love love LOVE TARA!
Author's Response: Very cool - I'm so happy you like Tara in here, I haven't written her yet, but she seemed to fit nicely in here. Glad you enjoyed the S/B banter - I so love them like that and writing it is a blast. Thanks for the great review sweetheart, hugs and kisses.

Love it! Love the snark, love the banter. There aren't enough good fics out there that play around with the early Spike/Buffy love-hate-lust relationship, so I'm really enjoying this. It's so rare to read a fic that keeps the sense of fun that the show had. Great job!
Author's Response: Oh WOW, thank you so much. Personally I loved the witty banter of early btvs and yeah, it's so much fun to keep and write them like this - really makes for some great UST build up. I'm thrilled you're really enjoying this story sweety, I can't thank you enough for such a loveluyreview. Smoochies to you.

I couldn't stop laughing @ Buffy's final, cock-teasing words to Spike to take care of "his problem" with his own hands :D
really, rotflmao.
however do you come out with scenes and banter like these; doesn't matter, though, just as long as you keep doing it ;-)
and, obviously, is spuffy centred :D
bye bye *wave hand*
Author's Response: Giggles, that was my favorite part to write for the chapter too - glad you liked it. I have a lot of help from beasleysmom on the banter and of course, i draw on the army lifestyle and things that tend to happen there that can be funny. Of course Spike and Buffy have always had pretty good banter on the show, so it works well here too I hope. Thanks for the awesome review hon, hugs.

I have been waiting for this all week, great chapter as always. I loved everything especially the part where Buffy tells him "scream for me Spike". That was great,I cant wait to see what happens next. Please update soon.
Author's Response: Awwww, you're making me blush sweetheart. Thanks for such a lovely review. I couldn't resist the 'scream for me' part - it was cruel but sooooo worth it, giggles.

Date: 02/12/2007 - 01:12 pm Title: Rules of Engagement
Brilliant update. I love this sooooo much. Spike certainly has a lot to learn about Buffy but it was very interesting that he should think "it was, after all, one of the things he loved most about her.....". Something he feels but hasn't realised or just a figure of speech (well in this instance thought)? Please please please update soon.
Author's Response: Oh yes, he does have a lot to learn and of course, he doesn't realize that it's not just the sex he wants - but men can be dumb like that, lol. I'll try to update asap sweety. Glad you enjoyed and thanks so much for the great review.

Date: 02/12/2007 - 01:00 pm Title: Rules of Engagement
Wicked awesome update. I loved it! Ha ha ha... a dishonorable discharge. That was clever. Anywho, please update soon!
Author's Response: Giggles, I couldn't resist the 'dishonorable discharge' bit - he deserved it. Thanks for the awesome review sweetheart, smooches to you.

Date: 02/12/2007 - 12:52 pm Title: Rules of Engagement
Hehehe -wonderful !!..I really love the banter between these two - neither one backing down....it's so funny that he's terrified of needles too....lol
Author's Response: They're a lot more alike than they can imagine - it's part of the fun, because they both like winning. Thanks for the review hon, hugs.

Date: 02/12/2007 - 12:48 pm Title: Rules of Engagement
great update, very funny. she sure turned the tables on him. good for her.
Author's Response: Giggles, I felt he sooooo deserved it. Glad you liked it. Thanks for the review sweety.

Date: 02/12/2007 - 12:38 pm Title: Rules of Engagement
Spike just hasn't learned yet has he? Anxiously awaiting more.
Author's Response: Oh no, he's pretty thick headed, giggles. Glad you enjoyed it hon, thanks for the review. Kisses.

Date: 02/12/2007 - 12:12 pm Title: Rules of Engagement
Im going to say what I ALWAYS say......I *LOVED* IT!!! I can not waite for more!!!
Author's Response: Squeeee, I love to hear that - cuz I'm really enjoying writing this one. Thank you for the great review darling, hugs.

Hey, have been waiting for this chappie with my tongue hanging out. Like Buffy having the upper hand for a change, giving Spike a little prick and then a not so little prick. heh heh!. Spike will have to keep on his 9 toes (so to speak) if he wants to win this battle of the Buffy. Hoping for more soon. Damn fic has me completely hooked! :)
Author's Response: Giggles, tongue hanging out? Well I'm glad I could deliver this chappy for you sweety - being hooked isn't too bad I hope? I so love writing our couple like this. Oh yeah, Spike will be hopping about Buffy for some time yet - silly Sergeant. Glad you liked the banter and Buffy's revenge. I loved your review, thank you so much. Smoochies to you.

OMG, OMG, OMG I just loved the reunion. It certainly was everything I was hoping for.
Its time for payback and payback it’s a bitch so I’m sure we are really going to enjoy the chapter to come.
I was really LOL with the syringe scene. The BIG BAD afraid of needles, I couldn’t imagine a funnier way to make Spike suffer just a little bit. Great with the one . . . two . . . and completely missing the three. Oh and the turn around and drop them comment, as priceless as the smack.
And that ending . . . oh dear lord! I really can’t wait to read more, and more, and more. Spike has to pay and Buffy needs to play hard to get. That’s the only way I think Spike is going to be interested enough in her to get to know her.
Please, pretty please make him suffer just like the end, make him see that he has to put more than two cents in this conquest, make it memorable.
And of course, my regular begs of “update soon”.
Ash.
Author's Response: Squeeeeee, I'm so glad you enjoyed it hon and it met with your expectations. I so loved writing Buffy's revenge - especially with the needle. I promise to make him suffer - you have my word. Thank you soooooooooooo much for the awesome review - you totally made my day. Smoochies to you hon.

Very cute! More, please! I am so greedy for this...
Author's Response: Giggles, I don't mind greedy, just as long as you like it sweety. Thank you so much for the lovely review. Hugs and kisses.

The reunion was everything I could have hoped for! Buffy has gotten even stronger since basic training, and despite still wanting Spike like crazy, can stand up to him with nary a twitch. The dialogue was priceless, and little touches like the needle being a bit overly large than needed made this a hilarious read.
I don't know who's enjoying the fighting more - them, or us. I'm having a HELLA good time and can't wait for more!
Author's Response: Yay, I so loved hearing that you got what you hoped for in their reunion. There's so much more banter and fighting to come as the UST builds before giving way. Giggles, I'm glad you're enjoying their fights - cuz its way too much fun to write them like this. Thanks for the lovely review darling, smooches.

Shame on Spike.. and now revenge. He'll never get the girl that way...
Enjoyed.
Author's Response: Giggles, nope - cockiness and crudeness never won any girl over. Ah well, he'll learn over time, but it may be through the school of hard knocks for a bit. Thanks for the review hon, hugs.

What a hoot! What a way to start the week. The Battle of Spuffy has begun. Neither combatant will take any prisoners. They are in for a rough ride and so are we!!!
Update soon...I can hardly wait!!
Author's Response: Giggles, and you know it's going to be a battle they'll fight tooth and nail as well as their attraction - okay, uffy will be fighting the attraction. Nope, no prisoners as far as Spike is concerned, lol. I'm so glad you liked the chappy hon. Thank you so much for the lovely review. Smoochies to you.

Date: 02/12/2007 - 10:35 am Title: Rules of Engagement
when are you going to let spike and buffy get together? i really like the story, but i really think that they should get together soon.
Author's Response: Well, I'll be honest, it's not going to be any time soon. If I were writing this as a porn without plot, I'd say probably in a chapter or two. I'm aiming for a spuffy ending ultimately and right now our blonde couple has nothing but a small measure of mutual respect and a lot of attraction - not much to create a relationship on. I hope I don't lose you as a reader, but I can tell you with certainty they won't get together for a few chapters yet. The UST is what fuels their fire and over time, as they actually get to know one another a little better, that's where feelings will develop. Like I said, I hate to lose you as a reader, but if you want to skip reading any updates so you're not disappointed, I totally understand. Maybe come back around chapter 10 or so and check the progress. It won't be an incredably long fic by any means, there just isn't enough material to drag it out. Thank you so much for the review darling, I really appreciate it and that you've enjoyed it so far. Have a great week, hugs.

I'm such a horrible reviewer! So sorry I haven't been reviewing as much as I should! I can't even tell you how much I love this story. It's so much fun to read! =D
And I love the names of these Forts! FT Sham, FT Crumb... is there a FT Dust? lol!! It amuses me.
Really good chapter! I feel for Spike on one part though... I can't STAND needles. *shudders* I still remember this one nurse telling me how it's usually the big tough looking guys who cry the most at needles, hehe.
Looking forward to more! =D
Author's Response: No you're not, you're a good reviewer - we all have things going on other than spuffy and don't you worry over a thing. I love getting reviews but I'm just glad I'm keeping you entertained hon, it's the #1 reason for writing. Tee hee, yeah, I changed up a few names of the posts, mostly for fun but they do relate to real posts - as you well know. Yeah, poor Spikey isn't to keen on the needles. I've seen (cuz I've given so many during my short career) many a big man literally faint - it's not pretty. Glad you enjoyed the chapter sweety and thanks for the beautiful review. Smoochies to you hon.

A perfect about turn.
Attention! The little girl finds herself in the driving seat even though he steers the conversation with lewd and disrespectful innuendo. He knows what he's doing; so does she. This time, the 'little girl' does not rise to the bait (even when he does!) and over the course of his treatment, sticks it to him - both in the butt and the male pride department. Oh yeah, he screamed for her , all right and now the gloves are off.
He has her in his sights ....... until she traps him.
Fantatic banter and wrong-footing .....!
Author's Response: LOL, I so loved your review sweety. Oh yeah, Buffy is in the driver's seat and has the upper hand - especially since its her he wants. She'll use it to her advantage - you can count on it. Thank you so much hon - have a great week, hugs.

Date: 02/12/2007 - 09:32 am Title: Rules of Engagement
Hee! This chapter was hilarious, I loved it so much. Spike's arrogance is so not helping his case, even if Buffy can't stop being attracted to him. *giggles* And yes, more deliciously yummy UST, pretty please? *battes eyelashes and sends smooches*
Author's Response: Tee hee - you know me and my sense of humor - a tad twisted. Oh yes, more UST to come. Thank you sweety, for everything.

when are you going to update? i'm dying here women! lol
Author's Response: I hope to sometime this week sweety. I'm currently working on the next chappy - I just had to work on two of my other stories since it's been awhile since I've update either. Thanks for the support and review darling, smooches.

Date: 02/09/2007 - 02:00 am Title: One Good Day
omg... please update again soon
Author's Response: Thank you sweety - hopefully sometime this week. Smooches.
