Ok Piper, you got me. I give up. I tried to resist reading this story until it was complete, because I feel like everything I'm reading these days is unfinished. However, I saw that you won an award on the thing and I feel like such a bad person having ignored the writings of my beta. So, I may not review every chappy like I would have if I'd read as you posted, but I'll review in little bits as I sit here and read. So sorry for my blatant disregard of your excellent writing.

Meanie...leaving us wondering what the meeting is about as well. ;P lol Great chapter. The exchange between Buffy and Giles on the phone was so dead on. I could totally hear that conversation between them in my head. Loved that you pulled out Willow's 'resolve face.' I always thought that needed to happen more often - that Buffy's friends force her to talk about what was going on inside that head of hers. A lovely moment in their friendship. I know S/B peeps aren't usually big Riley fans, but my only suggestion is to not let Riley get too cartoonish or become a charicature because it takes away from an otherwise three dimensional story. That's just my opinion, though. There is probably a method to your madness. :) Can't wait for more!!

cant wait to find out why they need spike at the meeting not that i have a problem with that.keep it coming
