I just love that you wrote Buffy having such a talent at something (the swimming)..You know something to set her apart and gives her an edge..Something other than just pleasing character traits. After all, that's what made her the main character in the TV show..Her skills at vampire slaying/fighting..
Wonder what happened to Joyce?
Looking forward to more!
Author's Response: Thank you! I wanted to make Buffy special for something other than her looks and appeal with guys. LOL. Plus I was a swimmer so it's something I can talk about/write quite easily. As for Joyce... that will be explained soon enough. I'm glad youre enjoying it so much, more will be put up soon!

Author's Response: They are saying such nice things and I keep getting all blushy about it. LOL. I never thought it would gain this much of a response - it's a lovely surprise. *hugs*

I re-read this chapter, then I read Katakata's review below.
I think that K put it beautifully: You have captured teenagers' points of view very well.
Teenage emotions are in such upheaval all the time. For so many reasons.
Parents they're embarrassed by, no matter how 'cool' the other kids think they are. Wanting to fit in at school with the cool kids, but not sure it's for the best. Having their extracirricular activites blow up in their faces and of course, the errant parent that is running late to pick them up.
You do capture everything so nicely and that just proves what a talented writer you are.

Author's Response: Thank you. *blushes* That is SUCH a big compliment. I'm so glad you are enjoying the story and I will endeavour to make sure to keep it to a standard which you are all happy with. The feedback I've gained has been phenomenal (sp?) and it just encourages me to write even more. Thanks for your support.

keep up the great work.
Author's Response: Thank you, I'll try! LOL

Oh dear, somethings wrong with Joyce, huh?
Sigh.
Well, at least Spike is trying to be nice. I hope the others don't go to rough on her. We all know how high school kids can be, right???
I was just thinking about this fic yesterday. I'm so glad you updated.

Author's Response: What happened to Joyce will be in the next chapter. And yes, Spike is trying to be nice to Buffy - which is a change from his attitude in the beginning. LOL. I'm so glad you're enjoying this fic! More will be up soon.

hmmm Apike is really trying and Buffy is still being a bitch!
where the hell is Joyce????
Author's Response: Yes Buffy is being a little bit of a bitch. BUT Spike had been quite the asshole to her so even though he's being nice now, it's going to take a little time for her to warm up to him. As for Joyce, you'll find out soon enough... Thanks for the review!
Date: 02/05/2006 - 11:20 am Title: Unexpected.
Oh no.. i hope nothing has happend to Joyce..?
Great story!
Author's Response: You'll find out soon enough... Thanks for the review!

Even if Buffy dressed for Angel Spike got to enjoy the sight :) ~ *gg* Buffy was in for a surprise! I'm sure she'll have something to tell her later :) And it seems after Angel took his interest in Buffy Spike is getting in motion too. He was very helpful, driving her home. I wonder where Buffy's mother was. Hope nothing happened.
Author's Response: Yes, Spike did. LOL. And Angel interest in Buffy has definitely opened Spike's eyes a little. Thanks for the review!

Well, for a high school fic your portrayal of your characters seems a little more rounded than the normal fare. I like it! The world is often more simple in the mind of the average teen it's true - school:hard, boys: either date-able or losers, parents: either perfect or prison masters (normally the latter until you hit about 20) and so on and so forth. That doesn't mean their experiences need to be treated two-dimensionally however so I appreciate the depth you're trying to work into your story. 8-)
Author's Response: Thank you very much - that's so sweet of you to say! I am so glad that you are enjoying the story so far, and hope you continue to do so. More will be up soon.

Oh, definitely liked it. I like how Spike is "improving" his behavior towards Buffy, but the way he did it, curt-like, was kind of ass-ey. *grin* But I know he'll improve more, right?
Now, I just hope that Joyce is ok. Keep going, I like this story!
Author's Response: Thanks! I'm so glad you liked it. Spike's improvements keep coming, but in his way.
