Love her getting her own back. Serves him right, she's a damn tough girl.

Author's Response: Oh yea - that was one satisifying moment she got on him and he so deserved to get his ass kicked by a girl, hee hee hee. Thanks for the review darling - smoochies.

Oh my god, how much do i love this story? I loved the first chapter - I adored this chapter. hahahah Go Buffy. Freaking hilarious.
Fantastic story, would love to write more but i'm off to chapter three x

Author's Response: I'm so pleased you're enjoying it sweety. Writing this story was sooooooo much fun - can't wait to see your reaction to next chapter. THanks so much for the review. Kisses.

I´ll read more tomorrow :) Like it so far :)

Author's Response: YAY, that's wonderful. Lots of UST ahead until chapter 6, *winks*, and I do hope you like chapter 6 - the story get's more interesting after that b/c they meet back up on neutral ground. Thank you for the review darling, I really do hope you enjoy IAN. Huggles.

The breakup with Angel was well devised, and I like that all we had was Spike's POV, watching but not hearing the event. Spike's baiting with the pugil sticks was also well written, and I could feel the anger building in Buffy as Spike taunted her. Thanks for letting her get some of her own back, and Spike's role there made him a bit more sympathetic.

You're doing a great job keeping each of the characters in voice, even in these completely different roles. Having Lindsey in the background is adding another layer of tension to this entertaining story.

Author's Response: Thanks sweety, I felt Angel would only serve one real purpose in this fic and as soon as he did, it was asta la vista baby. Oh Buffy was furious over the pugil incident and Spike cruelly taunting her about Cordelia and her boyfriend... sent her over the edge. He needed a good swat to the head and to land on his ass for that one. I'm pleased that you're enjoying the characters and their personalities in this setting. I love a good challenge and well the army, with the btvs and ats characters in it, definetely poses one, giggles. I loved your review hon and I appreciate it more than you know, thanks so much. Smooches.

Hehe (because Spike doesn't know why it bothered him that she knows Angel's face now when thinking about Buffy has a boyfriend) :)
Uh-huh.. Lindsey. Thank god for Spike's protective streak.
And I bet that works all the time with the inductees in the boot camp: Letting them eat as much as they want and then taking them to the gas chamber.
Mmm something is off; Buffy was crying when she phoned Angel?
Oh bad break up. And Spike is happy to know Buffy is free *gg*. Now I wonder what he has in mind to let her feel better. Distracting her with another mean drill thing? It's so funny (yet not for Buffy) that Spike is using everything to mock Buffy / turn her words around. (Like when she felt for him in the true sense of the words *g*.) Oh! Channeling Buffy's anger. *nods* She'll feel better after this. ~ Loved the update :) And a good day to you too.
To your question: After reading the second chapter I still love it. BTW got an announcement from the new story of yours; it worked again. And I wanted to mention that you'll see the updates on the RSS Feed from the update site too. I added it to my F-List so I see it.

Author's Response: Oh yes, Spike is very happy Buffy is single - makes him feel a tad less guilty over his lusty thoughts, giggles. Angel simply had to go - what can I say. They really do let you eat whatever you want before the gas chamber, at least they did during my experience. Lindsey will add a little flavor to the fic, bring out the possessivness in Spike. Glad you enjoyed the ass-kicking scene, Spike so deserved it. Thanks for answering my question sweety and I do hope you have a great weekend. As always, thanks for the lovely reivew, you're such a doll, smoochies.

Loving it! Just like your other fics, loving them! You've very rapidly become one of my favorites!

Thanks!

Author's Response: Oh wow, thank you so much, my muse is blushing profusely from your kind words. Glad you like this little ditty, had this plot bunny on my mind for a couple months until the itch just had to be scratched. Thank you for the wonderful review sweety, smooches.

Okay can I say again how much I freakin' loved this chappie.

"I wear the cheese, it does not wear me..." LMAO!!!! Oh I just couldn't help but giggle ;)


Ahhhh, my favorite part...Spike gettin' his ass served! I loved that he let her get all that frustration out, but I bet he never thought he would get his ass handed to him like that ;). The Bob Barker moment had me ready to pee my pants!

Girls as always, Your work blows me away and it is such an honor to get to meld minds with you. I bow down at your feet, LOL! You're the bestest, Kuddos!

Author's Response: I sooooooo love that cheese part on btvs. I feel like such a weirdo cuz that part had me falling out of my chair, it was so bizarre but it struck a funny bone. Oh, you know Spike had it coming. Bob Barker moment indeed... the price is WRONG.... BITCH... classic Adam Sandler. Oh I love plotting with you, it's always a bright spot in my day to chat with you. We are 2 peas in a pod you and I... Love ya girl, thanks for the help and the reviews.

Yee-haw! Go Buffy!!
Great depiction of what it must be like in the army. I'm soooo not made for the subservience, but we need all kinds of folks for all kinds of jobs, I guess.
Can't wait for the next chapter :)

Author's Response: Giggles, she did get him good, huh? I didn't think I was cut out for the Army either, but once you get thru basic and school, it's not so bad, you get used to it. Thanks for the lovely review sweets, hugs to you and have an awesome weekend.

woohoo buffy !! love this story so far.

Author's Response: LOL, glad you liked the ass-kickin part and enjoy the story so far hon, thanks for the review sweets, smoochies to you.

Really great story - I'm hooked. Spike is nasty but I can't hate him and surely there has to be a good man inside just waiting to put in an appearance. Can't wait for the next chapter - please update soon.

Author's Response: It's hard to hate someone who's that hot, but at least I'm giving it the old college try, lol. There is most definetely a good man deep down inside him, but it will take some time and a strong willed Buffy to bring it out of him. So glad you liked it sweety and thanks for the great review. Smooches.

I skimmed this last night before bed and thought "Spike is not sooo terrible." When I re-read it this morning, "yeah, he is pretty much an asshole." It did not make me hate him and obviously since Buffy is looking at his butt, there are parts of her that do not hate hime as well.;-) Some of the things he said to her were pretty cruel and the cheese thing was just gross (this coming from a girl who believes in the 10 second rule), but giving her the opportunity to get her anger out and build her confidence was a good thing. I wonder if anyone will pick up on the “Tha’s my girl, come on.” comment? I had noticed that you are getting through the basic training pretty quickly, only 4 weeks left, right? Does that mean that poor Buffy is going to get stuck with Sgt. Satan? Poor girl. Oh and I meant to comment on the manip in my last review. Honey, that is beyond HOT! If that were on the Uncle Sam poster, women and gay men would be lined up around the block to get in the army. Thanks for another great chapter!!


Author's Response: LMAO. Yeah, he's quite the bung-hole in this one, but it adds to the tension in an oh so delicious way. Oh Buffy might hate him but she's not blind. Nope, no one picked up on the my girl comment, but there will be another moment when that may come out and it will be hard to ignore, hint, hint. I am taking it at a fast pace but it's definetely for a reason as you'll come to see. Oh yeah, that manip is smokin hot, kitty did a stellar job on it. If that were the official Uncle Sam poster, the military recruit status would jump up with a lot of women joining I imagine, lol. Thanks for the super review sweetheart, hope you enjoy next chapter as well, smooches.

Really enjoying this fic so far, didn't expect to but thought I would try at least one chapter but I wanna keep reading, hope you update soon.

Author's Response: YAY, that's awesome, I'm so glad you're enjoying it sweety. I'm having soooooo much fun writing it and it thrills me that you gave it a shot and decided to stay. I'll keep the action going sweety, promise. Thanks so very much from the bottom of my heart, huge hugs and a big fat kiss.

you... you did it again! i can't believe it... i was late again this morning and i couldn't even finish the chapter! i didn't get to the ass-whooping part... it was sooo frustrating! :(

i was going to suggest shorter chapters but... who i am kidding? i don't want short! lol
i want long and juicy chapters where buffy takes her sweet time to kick spike's ass... ;P

i liked how you used the letter to describe buffy's routine and life at the camp, and it's good to see that she's getting along with willow. spike's really mean to her, and even if i do think he wanted her to move on (just for selfish reason i bet), i don't think he saw that coming. i'm wondering if he is more pissed cuz she beat him or cuz she won't be punished for this... :D


Author's Response: Uh-oh, maybe I should write shorter chapters??? Tell your boss to call me and I'll have a word with him, LOL. But I am soooooo happy you liked the chapter sweety. Yeah, I figured Buffy's letters were a good way to include some of the military stuff without making it read too terribly dry, especially using soe of that valley girl voice to describe it. Oh Spike is most definetely hapy over her break up, even if he is the King od D-nile right now. He's a good DS though for helping her to channel it, too bad it cost him a blow to his ego and a bloody nose, *giggles*. I think he's more pissed that he can't punish her over what happened b/c believe it or not, it's his job to make her into a good soldier. Thank you very much for the awesome review hon. Hugs and kisses.
