Author's Response: Mmmhmm I love me some sweet Spike too :P Buffy does need to stop trying to be good, and just be baaaad with Spike heehee She's already lasted longer than I would have. Think it would've taken me 5 seconds >:D

Thanks for the deelish review! *gobble munch*

Hmm, will Dawn want to return home after being able to act like a precocious princess? - I think so!! Loved the dialogue between our blonde heros. And love the snarky mirror!! Luv Huggles and smoochies!!

Author's Response: We'll see what Dawn's up to soon, I haven't decided if I'll include it in part 1 or wait till part 2 yet. Some readers would probably like for Dawn to stay in the book lol

I'm so glad you liked the dialogue and the snarky mirror lol =D

Thanks for readin & reviewin, Deb! *smoochies*

This chapter was great. I'm in a rush, so that's all the review you get at the moment. Sorry!



Author's Response: Thanks, Niori! Aww I very much appreciate you leaving even a quickie review lol Thanks for taking the time to let me know you liked it, hon :D *smoochies*

Well, its good that they got to talk to the Unari, or representative, but I don't know if I trust what they say. If they are so loving of the key, they might not really want to let her leave so they can keep her safe. Maybe Buffy should ask to leave, then come back after the time for Glory to open the demensions is over, so Dawn is safe and Buffy doesn't die, then go back and retrieve her? But then again, I understand why Buffy won't do that, because she doesn't trust the Unari farther than Dawn could throw them lol.

I hope what they showed them of Dawn is true and not a mirage of sorts. I think it would crush Buffy is something happened to her only sister.

And now they are that much closer to finding the portal. Hopefully they can reach it before sunrise, so Spike won't dust. Can't wait for the update!!

*hugs and smoochies and lurrrve*

Author's Response: Exactly: Buffy doesn't trust the Unari farther than Dawn could throw them lol The other dimension would seem to be a good place for Dawn to hide from Glory, but they don't know if she really would be safe. And Buffy's still worried the Unari aren't just going to let the Key go. Time will tell ;)

Buffy has to convince herself that what she saw was true, that Dawn really is having a good time and isn't in distress. 'Cause there's not a whole helluva lot she can do until she finds Dawn, it would drive her nuts to worry constantly.

Spike and Buffy are on their way, they'll have a little trouble before they arrive at the portal... *cue dramatic music* lol

Thank you so much for all the awesome reviews, Chan! *huggggggs & smoochies*

Yay, they're finally outta there! I was just has happy to see the witch gone, whe was evil. Glad you put in the scene with mirror because we had a little more insight into the workings of the Unari. I'm sure Dawn is having a great time but after awhile I'd miss my real family and friends. It would get lonely.

Author's Response: I'm happy the witch is gone too. She needed a killin lol

I liked the idea of them communicating with the Unari via the Magic Mirror. All they have to do is find it wherever it is they wind up next to hopefully get more answers.

That's exactly right about Dawn. She's having fun and enjoying herself, but on the inside, she's missing her family and friends

Thanks for the sweet reviews, demona! *huggs*

But I didn't expect the mirror talk for the Unari. At last they know now that Dawn is save (and will be kept this way) but the Unari are one of a kind ... more tests then. Maybe it will be a lot longer till Buffy can break up with Riley. Spike is right about the monks could have chosen the Unari (if they knew of them).
Will be interesting to find out what the mirror meant with Spike being not only a vampire.
And didn't Riley want to destroy the book if I remember correctly? That could kill them both.
Very kind to let the animals out before they probably starve.
Looking forward to more. :)

Author's Response: The Unari were smart enough not to get within punching distance of Buffy lol The Mirror seemed a good way for them to communicate, it's so fairy tale-y lol

The only thing stopping Riley from destroying the book is that it might kill Buffy and Dawn too. He's losing his grip, but thankfully he isn't that far gone yet lol A possible explanation for why the monks didn't put Dawn with the Unari is that the Unari aren't the nicest folks and they're a bit nutty lol

I thought it'd be a nice touch to have Spike let the animals free :) It was an act of compassion that probably wouldn't have crossed his mind before. It's just part of the way he's evolved over the time spent in the gingerbread house :)

Thanks for the yummy reviews, ck! *smoochies & hugz*
