Oh, Lord. Don't tell me Angel is going to try to get Buffy and Riley together, as he is giving a dowry to Buffy and offered to help her find someone. Please let Spike get his butt home. I just wonder what Teguas's last treatment will do to Aimee. Looking forward to that one. I guess all hell will break loose when everyone gets to the ranch. Spike hasn't told Buffy the extent of his relationship with Aimee. Aimee is sure to rub that into Buffy now that she's done with her treatments till later. Buffy still has Maria at her back. Will hope for the best, but not expect it. Good update.

Author's Response: Hee! Yes, I'm sad to tell you that Angel is going to try to get Buffy and Riley together, but it won't come to fruition, so don't worry. ;) Spike is coming back on chapter 32. And you'll find out about what the treatment will do to Aimée on chapter 31. ;) As you guessed, yes, all hell will break loose now that we've moved the action to Campo Real. ... And I can tell you Buffy's reaction to finding out how far Aimée and William's relationship went, will be better than William finding out that Buffy was in love with Angel, even if nothing happened between them. but as you say, María is still there, and she will help Buffy out. Thanks for reviewing!

Will Aimée be able to sit after the final treatment of Tegua? That is the question ;)! Possibly, but very, very carefully...

So, look who is he coming! Riley... A man who has monetary problems and who is Angel's friend.

Hum... Angel who says Joyce and Aimée that he could find a suitable husband for Buffy. A Buffy he gaves a generous dowry.

So, we have a man who needs money and who likes (very much) beautiful women, and a beautiful woman who has a generous dowry. In middle of that, Angel. A man who is already on the way to make happily the most beautiful mistake of his life, marrying little Aimée. And, when we see his wisdom concerning love affairs... He could think he would make a good action marrying Riley and Buffy. God, he would be ever able to think he is himself very clever to have had such idea :(! Can't help myself ;)!...

And Spike, thanks to Xander, has a lot of things to think about.

Yes, Buffy could be hurt to know that he went so far with Aimée, but she has already shown wisdom when she had learnt about their "affair". And maybe has she already some doubts...

Little Aimée. No doubt our pirate will be surprised to learn that his former (and very short-time) lover will be... err... his future stepsister, and twice! Officially, by Buffy (Aimée's sister and his future wife), and unofficially, by Angel ("unknown" Spike's brother and Aimée's future husband).

But to think Aimée will keep quiet herself, having a marriage on the way, would be a mistake. As said Willliam Congreve: "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned".

You said it will be a little misunderstanding? I'm very curious :)! And I already have my head full of question! Thanks ;)!

Author's Response: Hee! You'll find out if she will be able to sit soon enough. ;)

*lol* Yeah, I couldn't have put it better than you did. Angel is certainly on the way to make happily the most beautiful mistake of his life and he's convinced Riley is the best option for his future sister-in-law. Of course, as you can imagine, Angel is not the best in judging a person's character, is he? ;)

I think Buffy will be understanding, up to a certain point, there's going to be something that could change her mind about being so understanding.

I agree with you about Aimée, too. It will be a surprise for William to find out that little Aimée was playing with him, not that he wasn't doing the same with her. ;)

About Aimée being able to keep quiet, well, you'll find out soon. ;)

Yes, there's going to be a little misunderstanding, which will happen in chapter 32. Thanks so much for reviewing, cariño!

Darn it! I just went back and read your response to the last chapter review I did..I am slapping myself up side the head! lol So..Of course Spike is going to talk to Rupert, and........Damn it!

So..Riley has the hots for Darla..Is he the one that Angel is looking to set Buffy up with? Thank you for the great update!

Author's Response: Exactly, but I promise I'll try not to drag the misunderstanding more than I absolutely have to. There's still too much I have to tell to focus on that.

Riley has the hots for any woman that's beautiful and rich. Although there will be an interesting relationship between him and Darla. And yes, he's the one Angel is looking to set Buffy up with. Thank you for reviewing!

Oh my gosh! I just reread Spike's confession about his affair with Aimée and I hadn't noticed that he said he "thought" about marrying Aimée and not that he "was" engaged to her... Buffy's reaction should be interesting.
I continue to love the Aimée/Tegua scenes. I can't wait to find out what the mysterious "little something" is that has Tegua smiling.
I liked Cordy and Angel's first meeting. And Riley and Darla... that's an interesting combination. Wonderful chapter!

Author's Response: Hee! Well, yes, I think it will be quite interesting, although not as interesting as Spike's reaction to knowing that Buffy fancied herself in love with Angel. ;) Oh, you'll find about the mysterious little something on chapter 32, I'm still trying to decide how much I want to make Aimée suffer. ;) I'm glad you liked Cordy and Angel, hope you like them more as the story advances. :) And Riley and Darla, yeah, it will be interesting how that would evolve, at least I hope. Thank you so much for reviewing. :D
