Oh this is good, wonder what Spike will do with Buffy dating.

Author's Response: I'm sure he will react in a calm and mature manner. *coughs*

Thanks for reviewing :)

Right finally got caught up and I am really enjoying your fic... one thing though, every now and again you put 'jack' instead of 'jake' thought I would let you know!

Thank you for posting it's really good! xxx

Author's Response: Ack! I'll have to go back and change that. Thank you for letting me know. Please do let me know if you see anything else dumb. I admit it, I don't have a beta *hangs head*. The funny thing is I keep calling him Richard in my head and I know someday that's going to get me. I wanted him to not be Richard, but *shrugs*. Thanks for the review and catching my mistake! I'll just go run along and fix that...

When are these two bananas going to talk and clear the air , oh i know after Buffy sleeps with Jake (Please don't, i'm still nauseous from melanie) and they both rub the fact that they have moved on without really moving on in each others face and Melanie and Jake meet and hookup, or is he her ex, and I can't wait for the next update because i really like this fic but, can't stand her attitude and to see them so unhappy, especially him.

Author's Response: I know! I'm sorry it's so annoying. I am going somewhere, honest. As I wrote in another review, it's only been a day since the bar so in story time that's not that long that they've been totally avoiding each other. Oooh, you should be writing this, hadn't thought of Jake being her ex, :) I'll try to write fast. I don't have the next chapter roughed out at all either. The one after that has more stuff written, so if I get through the next it shouldn't be too long. Thanks for the review, glad you're still reading.

Great chapter- the Spike and Dawn interaction made such a great read, and I loved seeing her powers of manipulation coming out to play once more! Hillarious character!

I loved the little touches you've added in, to show that even though they're apart, Spike and Buffy still know each other inside out. Like when Jake comes round with the stupid rose, and Spike thinks to himself that she prefers daisies, as only he would know. I think that really shows how he is still maintaining his emotions for her.

And the detail about Buffy's answering machine being overloaded, because there were still some messages from her mom that she doesn't want to let go of yet. I found that to be really touching, and it sort of brought in a new layer to her character.

All in all, great well-rounded writing (not sharp or pointy!) Can't wait for more xxx

Author's Response: Thanks so much! Well, I'm so sappy I save my Dad singing Happy Birthday and other stuff like that. I would save Joyce's messages if I were Buffy...and I'd procrastinate finding a way to get them off because well, I' m a slacker. I know everybody wanted Spike and Buffy to confront each other and they haven't been in the same place since the first chapter, but in story time, that was only a day ago, so not too long. All I can say is that I do have a plan (at least for the next two chapters haha).
