That is wildly of the not good. Giles and his damn meditation sessions I suspect. Good thing she has Spike. Even if they're not living together. Love that debate.

"You need washcloths.”
“For what?”
“Taking off makeup.”
“Yeah, I knew I was doin’ it wrong.”

Really loved that exchange. Still giggling about that one.

Author's Response: I love domestic Buffy and Spike. But every now and then I also like to put in something to remind that he's not entirely domesticated. Yes, Giles has been up to something. Thanks for reviewing!

I have the feeling that Spike is going to seriously pissed at her watcher for doing this to her when Angelus is still around. He'll probably get all 'grrrr' and then Giles and everyone will know what Spike is. Wonder if Spike can protect her from this...I mean it's not her b-day....so is it like 24 hr thing or longer? And how the heck did this happen to Buffy when she was with Spike the whole weekend--Giles couldn't inject her with the drugs...or is it a spell?

And of course blindfold sex....hot.

Author's Response: Well, technically we see Buffy on Saturday, and then it cuts to the beginning of the week. So we don't know what she did all day Sunday yet. And Giles has been showing her meditations, so... As for what Spike does, you'll have to wait and see. :) Thanks for reviewing!

OMG.... OH. MY. GOD!!! There was so much to love about this chapter. Buffy's little snoopy dance for FINALLY beating Spike and oooo, and the blindfolded sex... yup, definitely hawt! I loved the part where she brought the groceries in only to produce uber amounts of products for the bathroom. Lpike's line, “Well, it’s no bloody wonder I could never decide what you smelled like.”, had me rolling on the floor laughing. I seriously though Buffy would be truly ready by the end of the chapter to fight Angelus but you went and threw and interesting monkey-wrench into the mix. Nice job. Now you have me wondering - and sitting on the edge of my seat - as to what the problem is with her that her Slayer strength is suddenly gone. I truly hope you're able to update soon, I don't think I can tak ethe suspense, hehehheeheh. Bravo on a great chapter darling. Hugs and kisses.

Author's Response: Thank you so much! I think it was time for Buffy to beat Spike. They've been fighting for a while, but of course she had to do a little celebrating. Which, er, turned into some big celebrating, LOL. And of course she had to bring a lot of things for the bathroom. Though if you ask me, Spike got off easy. I know girls who bring that much to stay over for a weekend. Yep, I just had to throw one more problem for Buffy in there. Besides, I can't move that quickly, LOL. I couldn't have her beating Spike in one chapter to fighting Angelus the next. I'm glad you liked it, and thanks for reviewing!

Hot training session :D
Good to see Buffy becoming a stronger slayer. She needs to be with Angelus.
They became so good, pair-wise and fighting-wise. Got me worried when I read that Buffy couldn't fight Spike all at once. Remembered me of the Cruciamentum. So Giles did it to her, huh? Good thing Buffy has Spike by her side. Sounds as if Giles got himself in trouble now.

Author's Response: Buffy and Spike's training sessions are turning hotter... And they're making a very good fighting team. Yep, it's the Cruciamentium, but with a little different spin on it. Glad you liked the chapter, and thanks for reviewing!

Thanks for great update. The Cruciamentium was such a trying time for buffy on so many levels. Hope that Spike is a source of help to soothe her as she's still Buffy and that's all that matters to him.

Author's Response: Well, this Spike and Buffy met when she was human, so in a way it's like a throwback to the past. I'm sure having Spike around for the Cruciamentium couldn't hurt (not that he will take care of everything). Thanks for reviewing!

wonderful update, loved the mini argument over money....and loved how spike didn't know what she smelt of.
looking forward to more

Author's Response: Thank you! I'm glad you liked it!

Interesting I cant wait to see where this goes and it should be interesting to see how Spike handles it, especially if shes threatened.


Author's Response: Thank you! I'm glad you liked it!

i normally don't give threats, but you are so EVIL for stopping there and i demand a new chapter in under a week or i'll scream!!!....okay, rant over. lol. update soon

Author's Response: I'm trying to have the next chapter up by the weekend, but no promises, LOL. Although, uh, it is probably going to end in a cliff hanger as well. Thanks for reviewing!
