I loved-Loved-LOVED it! The honesty, the talk, so true to them, and the business deal--OH, THE BUSINESS DEAL!!!

THANK YOUOUOU! The night ahead of me is expected to be shitty, but you gave me a happy *does happy dance* (get your mind out of the gutter, lol)

This was perfect, can't wait for more, though I know I'll have to!

Author's Response: Hehe, the business deal. It's all about the business. :) Glad I made your day, so to speak. Thanks for reviewing!

Noooo...! You're so mean...*sobbing* It's one hell of a cliffhanger!! Great work, is it really your first story? I'm stuck with you honey

Author's Response: It's my first Buffy story. I wrote a couple of ones for the anime Inuyasha a few years back. Thanks for reviewing!

Ah a free lesson for Buffy. I wonder why he decided to run again.
Oh what a question! Looking forward to Saturday to hear the answer or to read more (in case Buffy doesn't get an answer to that question.

Author's Response: Oh, she'll get an answer. :) Thanks for reviewing!

Well? Answer the question!

Please?

Author's Response: Don't worry, he will! Thanks for reading!

Strraight to the point, go Buffy :) I'm still enjoying this fic very much :) Can't wait to read how he'll react!

Author's Response: Thank you so much! I'm glad you're liking it!

OMG! I can see Spike's face right now, shock, maybe mock indignation, then maybe pretending to be angry at her suggestion... Or will he just bow his head and admit it?

You write them both so well, I love this story and will be eagerly waiting for Saturday!

Thank you for a wonderful update! (and Spike can drop me on my back and bite my neck any day!!! lol)

Author's Response: Hmm, what will Spike do? He's going to be brutally honest, I'll tell you that. :) Thank you so much for the compliments! (We can all dream, huh? But Buffy is the only one Spike would drop and bite without killing, I bet. :)

I think it's my favourite chapter. Well done! Really! I LOVED the fighting scene. I love your Spike. I love him more than any other Spike in any other story right now. And Buffy? Way to be stupid! How could she ask him that?!? Well, I understand why she did it, I maybe even I would have done that too, but still... Ask a guy (any guy) if he's in love with her?! LOL Way foolish. But asking Spike that might actually work. Or not. I'm really, really impatient to see, how you resolve it.

Author's Response: Aw, really, favorite chapter? But it was so short, and really just a bridge to the next chapter. (Though I did like writing the fighting scene.) But current favorite Spike, wow. Thank you so much! Well, as for stupid Buffy, yes and no. She's got a reason, and the reason she wants to know is leading up to something else. I hope you like how I handle it. Thanks again!

Haha! I love that she just layed it on the line there. I know what I want Spike to say but knowing Spike it probably wont happen, sadly. :(

Love love love this chapter~!

Author's Response: Well, he might say close to what you want him to say... :) Thank you so much!

I had somehow missed this chapter until today. Sorry for that. I loved this chapter, I love how Spike can't stay away from Buffy, the way he reacted when she was in danger. I guess what Wesley said hit a little too close to home and that's why he reacted like that? Although I don't really see Spike as trying to kill her. Anyway, fantastic chapter, darling!

Author's Response: Yeah, Wesley just hit the wrong button there. Spike won't be trying to kill her, but of course, Wesley hasn't been witness to most of their interactions, so he doesn't have much to base what Spike might do on, except "vampire." Glad you're loving it, and thank you so much!

So... first of all, I'm really enjoying this story so far, despite my current 'allergy' to angst (usually I'm fine with it, just not lately). Altho this story is far from being angsty, I still wanted to point that out (maybe so you'll keep it light? :P). Anyway... can't wait to read more of it and see exactly how the Aurelius Reunion Party 2000 is going to go down. Also... curious about the whole Master business... is he still there? Is Darla? From the bits and pieces... apparently not, but you never now... I always did find Spike beating the crap (both with physical and verbal blows) out of all his elders highly entertaining.

Author's Response: Don't worry, I have a permanent allergy to angst. Small doses I can deal with, but angst is not a category I revel in, so the story will be as light as it's been. As for what other vampires are on the Hellmouth with Angelus, that will have to be a mystery for a bit longer, sorry! :) Thanks for reviewing!

So Spike is still playing Buffy's bodyguard; she would have been dead.
Not a good epiphany Buffy got and asked how long slayers would live. Well that's nothing she can decide or influence except always pay attention and be on her best (well trained).
And Spike is also very torn. ~ Now you made me curious how Spike will come to SD (reading your answer) :)

Author's Response: Yeah, Buffy will definitely be stepping up on the training and not taking anything for granted when it comes to Slaying. Thanks for reviewing!

yey for spike-confusion. i like the read but i also think that spike is a tad too obvious, he should at least try to hide that he's confused - it would be more in character for him. not that i wouldn't enjoy him like you write him. update soon. and please, please make it something like a chapter!! i know that most spuffy writers tend to consider 1000 words a chapter but hell, it's not. even children's stories have longer chapters! anyway, it was a good chapter. thanks :)

Author's Response: *mock pouts* It was over a 1000 words. (Eh, this is my first fic, I'm still feeling my way around on chapter lengths. Longer chapters means fewer updates.) But I'm trying to make them closer to 1500. Anyway, glad you're enjoying it, and thanks for reviewing!
