omg u pulled a S2!! that was wicked cool! and interwove it with S5! great job Tori! i loved this chapter and am glad that Giles finally saw the light. poor Spike! u know u'll have to bring her back right?

Author's Response: Yes, poor Spike...someone should comfort him, but who? Me. Anyway, so happy to hear that you approve of my wickedly evil mind!

Aw man, Buffy.

Author's Response: Yep, she's a goner...for now anyway! :) Thanks!

Loved it, loved it, loved it! Such a nice twist! :) And that letter was more than beautifully written... Is she really gone, like forever? / Ariadne

Author's Response: Hey girl! Glad to see you are still sticking around. Thanks so much for the review and yes, she is most certainly gone. (at least for this part of the story anyway!)

Thought so, Buffy needed the blood to close the portal. She knew what she had to do even if it broke her heart.
I must say I hope Buffy will manage to come back :)

Author's Response: Yes, my dear, you figured it out. **Gives Gold Star** I guess it was a little obvious, but some people were still left in the dark. Thanks so much for the review, and yes...she will be back in many many many weeks. That will be resolved in the sequel for those of you who prefer the traditional happy ending that I usually write. LoL! Thanks again, babe!

I'm still a little mad at Buffy. I know she was trying to save his life but I'm still mad at her. I hope Spike goes easy on her though. I want my Spuffy.

I hope it doesn't take forever to have Buffy come back either. that or I hope Spike does move on and find another girl. As much as I hate saying that. He is still young. Although, he may not live long which is all more reason on why he should move on. His life most likely is short.

This is what I will say to Spike

Carpe Diem ("seize the day")

Author's Response: I imagine most of the anger everyone feels towards Buffy at this point is because she took it upon herself to fix the situation and never gave Spike the chance to weigh in with his opinion. Course, its not like she ever did that in the show, right? Do as she says not as she does...sound about right? Well, as far as Buffy coming back, it won't happen anytime soon...well, for her anyway. She is in a hell dimension and will be there for several weeks in real life time span. All of that will be answered in the sequel, which I will be starting on after my vacation in about 2 weeks. Thank you so much for the review!
