Ooh, excellent ending line. Go Anya! and props to Hank for not freaking out (but then I guess Joyce gets most of the credit there) and to Spike, for showing just how much he cares. and that banner is lovely, by the way!

Oh wow! What a wonderful chapter! I can't believe Spike admitted to Hank that he wanted to marry Buffy, that's so sweet!

Author's Response: Thank you! I was hoping that wouldn't seem contrived, lol.

It's good to see Spike and Frank coming to an understanding. It seems as if Buffy had been waiting for this to come out since her last fight with Angel or Cordy catching them so I wonder how she will react to this where even Anya is concerned. Hmm....

Author's Response: Things are going to get more complicated--and you've got Buffy's anticipation pegged. Thanks so much for reviewing!

Can't comment ont he banner because that would, you know, make me sound full of myself ;P I can say thank you including it in the update though :)

And I think out of al the Buffy under-age/old Spike fics, yours is one of the best because you really are making the reaction of the people seeing it, realistic and not just letting them live in a bubble :-)

Author's Response: Aww, thank you!! Really, that means a ton to me. =) *hugs you tight* And you can comment on the banner all you want...you made it, after all, and it's gorgeous. *g*

*meep* adore Anya ... Spike may think that she was ignoring him, but knowing that she understands what he's going through is so sweet
and Spike telling Hank he wants to marry Buffy *squee*

Author's Response: Hee! Anya is one of my favorite characters...and I'm glad you liked that little detail with Spike. ;)

Elena, I loved it. And Anya was right on the money again, and trying to teach thick Xander something that shoudl be obvious.

Author's Response: Xander is a bit thick, isn't he? I'm so glad you liked it. Thank you.

This type of fic has always been difficult for me. I live in the US.
Then I have to remember that in Europe and Brittain; the age of consent is 16.
I'm not saying that I approve, but then again, who am I to judge?
As long as Spike intends on doing the right thing? I guess I can handle it.
Its a tough call, but we have to remember; the age of consent is 16 in most countries?
Again, not thrilled about it, but this is fiction.
I thought the chapter was sweet, especially Hank and Spike's convo.
Xander and Anya were just too cute.

Author's Response: I live in the US too, and the whole age of consent issue is one of the reasons I chose to make Buffy 16. Are kids in other countries more mature? Does their culture raise them to be able to make decisions for themselves at such a young age? This is fiction of course, but I have personally known girls who get mixed up in situations very similar to what Buffy's in right now. Part of the point of this fic is making you doubt what they're doing, so I'm glad I'm succeeding. Thanks for the feedback!

Well I thought maybe Hank might talk some sense into Spike but somehow by some miracle a father of a sixteen year old girl who is dating a 38yr old guy has somehow decided that it is OK, WTF? I am sure my husband would have nothing to say if our 15yr old son started dating a 37 yr old woman who has admittedly slept with half of our town, no your right, its perfectly natural and everyone should just let them be, PLEASE people just because ita our fav pair, doesnt make it OK. I know its fiction and really all I have to do is stop reading right? However where I come from we have just jailed a 36yr old teacher for her inappropriate behaviour with a 15yr old student...please tell why this is different...what the hell would they even have in common?Sorry folks I know everyone else loves this fic and Panta I think your great but I find this just a little too close to home to enjoy anymore. I love my Spuffy and love this site but I like em to be consenting and of age..sorry...good luck with the rest...:)

Author's Response: First off, I'm sorry to reply to this so late. I stated at the beginning of this fic that I did not condone relationships like this in real life. If you have not read the previous chapters then you probably don't fully understand the motivations I am giving these characters; if you have read the previous chapters then why are you reviewing to tell me that you don't approve? I already stated pretty blatantly what this relationship was going to be like. And while, as I stated, I don't condone relationships like this, I still think you don't quite understand where I'm coming from with this fic. In this fic, Buffy and Spike are ten, not 21 or 22, years apart. Spike is 26. While her father doesn't approve of the relationship, her mother is willing to trust Buffy enough to let them try to be together without interfering unless Spike hurts her. Though she's not legally and adult yet, your phrase "consenting adult" is inherently erroneous. 16 is old enough to consent to a romantic relationship, as is exemplified by the fact that in many countries, 16 is the legal age of consent. Spike may not be exhibiting the best of judgement, but that issue will be addressed in time.

Thank you for taking the time to give me your opinion.

So very true. The world would be a much better place if people just left other people alone. If they are happy and its not hurting anyone, let it be. I'm very glad that Buffy's parents aren't angry at Spike, just what happened. Can't wait for more. I very much missed this story.

Author's Response: Exactly. People are extremely meddlesome in this fic. *has River moment* Thanks so much for reviewing!

LOVE~LOVE~LOVE the banner!! It's perfect!

Really glad to see an update!
Also, extremely pleased by Hank's reaction to the pictures. I was concerned about that..Also, Spike's promise to Hank was very sweet..

K..Here's what Buffy and Spike should do.......Finish High School and find Buffy a college away from Sunnyhell..Spike marries Buffy..and they move to the town where she will attend school. Of course Spike would have to find a job..which would be a sacrifice..*sigh* That's the Spuffy girl in me talking...lol

Whatever you decide to do with these characters will be great I am sure : D

Author's Response: Isn't the banner gorgeous?? *hearts it*

I'm glad you like the story! And--LOL--things won't be quite that easy, but the ending will be happy. That I can promise.
