I started to re-watch my Buffy DVDs lately (have to continue soon) so I'm glad I saw the episode lately, I knew what you were talking of.
Buffy noticed it in time this time - it's definitely better to have a boyfriend that is supernatural (especially when you're supernatural on your own) *g*.

Author's Response: Oh, God, is it hard to follow? I wanted to avoid re-writing loads of dialogue from ep.s, on the grounds that we all know what happened but now I'll start putting which ep.s I'm covering per chapter. Obviously, anything which involves Angel or Faith, is going to be different or not happen and we're heading towards a major change... So glad people are still reading. Thank you.
