I enjoyed this light chapter. Buffy's first day of training was very entertaining. Then, ending on Faith dying, you brought the creepy. That sure sounded like Angelus taunting Faith.

This vivid exchange made me laugh: Wesley handed her a thin, yellow styrofoam cylinder.

Buffy raised an eyebrow. “Is this from a Nerf gun?”

“Yes, well—”

“How do you think I learned to shoot the crossbow?” Excellent point.

Author's Response: Glad you liked Buffy's training day, and the Nerf gun! Angelus will indeed be putting in an appearance... Thanks for reviewing!

ahhh...so Faith was Wesleys slayer...and she was called BEFORE buffy ... interesting, but of a spin on the plot. im impressed, keep it up
xo

Author's Response: Yeah, Faith was his Slayer. I'm glad you're liking it! Thanks!

Buffy sure learns fast.. Can't wait to read more!

Author's Response: It's a Slayer thing. :) Thanks for reading!

I can't believe I'm saying this but - you have to update quick! I'm dying here!! lol I'm not usually for the dumb talk but I've been enjoying the story for the past couple of hours and I regret dearly that I started one more WIP. Now I have to wait for updates but hey, it's still worth it.
Will you make B/S fight?? I hope you will. I'm waiting at least for some angst to occur though I'm not holding my breath. You seem to be writing a balanced fic. I usually don't much read them but your's good. When I'll decide what especially I like, I'll tell you. Well done anyway. :)

Author's Response: Ah, I know the feeling of getting too caught up in WIPs. On the one hand, you can read them *now* but on the other, you have to wait between chapters. Personally, I'm impatient, and can't wait months to read something I might like reading now. (And some go for *years*!) Though I can't see this story going any longer than a few months, and I tend to post chapters quick. Anyway... I'm not really one for the super angst. There will be some emotional angst, but I'm not planning a knock down, drag out fight between B&S. (Sorry if that disappoints!) I hope you keep liking, and thanks for reviewing!

Great job!
Wesley back in the saddle, and w/Fred to help (brings to mind training/sparring w/Connor in the Hyperion); Yay!
Poor Faithy....Angelus, I presume? And at least she kept her spunk, her will, and was strong til the end.
Ironic, innit, that the Slayer of Slayers was WITH the next Slayer, probably, as Faith went out...or close to it, and surely was NOT the one to kill that Slayer.

Author's Response: Yep, it was Angelus. He's set up shop in SD recently. Don't feel too bad for Faith though, she's been a bad girl and not exactly a good Slayer. She was playing with Angelus long before he decided he'd had enough. And yeah, Buffy and Spike are in quite the odd circumstances. Thanks for reviewing!

Guess we eventually come to the showdown between Spike and Buffy. Sad..

And she knows about the Gem and what power it gives him..

Enjoyed.

Author's Response: Well, we're not quite going to have a showdown. Thanks for reviewing!
