Glad the cat gets to keep her name. Spike can call her something else, though we all know the cat will likely do its bet to not do anything that Spike tells her. As do most cats... And it seems like it was a pretty good home coming. More Drama to come for sure, but this all went pretty well. And Faith and Lindsey... Could work. Gonna have to watch out for that. Update soon!

Author's Response: Hi BuffyRat! I'm thinking that cat and Spike are gonna have a rocky relationship, perhaps forever. As you point out - cats have a habit of not exactly doing what you say. Angelpie seems to have a link with Bess, but doing what Spike says? I'm thinking, not so much. Thanks so much for stopping in! -p4s 2012.01.21

A good talk between Buffy and Bess. Spike may not like the cats name for now, but when Angel dislike it then Spike will love it.

I can't really see Faith as the Slayer-general, I see her more like a loner or team leader. Faith is too hot headed and I wouldn't place Buffy in that position either. I would have put Wesley in charge in case of an emergency. He is like in the later Angel seasons in this story right? In that case he's clear headed, logical and not afraid to act when needed.

Author's Response: Hi magnus! Oh! That's a great point - if Angel hates it, Spike will LOVE the kitties name! I hadn't considered that Angel would hate it! I see your point on the Slayer -general and Wes is much like the late seasons of Angel. Of course, although the final decisions come down to the general, it's not like they're in a bubble and I'm sure Faith will turn to her friends as well as Wes and Giles for input before making decisons - we hope. Wes is definately not afraid to make the hard decisions, for the greater good, is he? We'll see how that plays out later - it will hopefully not come into play for a while, but you never know. Thanks so much for great input!! -p4s 2012.01.21

Love how the family reunion went smoothly, almost as if Bess only was gone a day. The name “Angelpie” really should make Spike happy; it’s a good way to get back at his sire. Little Billy defending Bess and Angelpie with the jaw ticking and the eyes blazing was just too adorable! A “mini-me” version of Spike! He was like the little “Seabiscuit” of that match of emotions. Too, too endearing. I love the idea of Slayer Olympics, this could really be a good way to find out the strengths they have within their ranks to make “special teams” for particular circumstances. They can have their very own motor club now that Bess know how to ride a Harley. Imagine the roar and rumble of slayers on “hawg’s” going against demon bikers similar to “Razor” and their biker gangs. The slayers have a magical scythe, so if they can have bikes designed with weaponry built into them and become like a biker dragoon squad that would be every male’s fantasy. (Next calendar edition – biker slayers and their rides!) Spike would be so proud! I cannot blame Buffy for not wanting to be the general. Her main concern and focus should be the safety and welfare of her family now that a prophecy is hanging over their heads. So, Faith mentioning that Lindsey had to walk over burning coals in Nepal, does that mean that they have the solution to Spike’s upcoming match against Pele? So Spike’s frame of mind should be that it’s a matter of belief that he won’t get burned? Mind over matter kinda thing? If that’s the case, then will he have to be hypnotized to not feel the burn? Your muse is evil! Sedate him!

Author's Response: Hi Vette!! I just *love* Billy! Definately a little mini-me of Spike! So sweet but also willing to stand up for others when pressed. LOL on the Biker Slayers and their rides! Whoo-hooo! Hot! Now, just what (who?) would Buffy's ride be in that scenerio? heehee! I can see Faith as a biker chick, too ... got a good start there! Not sure that Spike can use the same methods that Lindsey did, since he's more combustable, I don't think mind over matter will work this time. We'll see. {cue evil laugh track} My muse is now singing ' I wanna be sedated....' He is definately evil!! Thanks so much for your always indepth and amusing/entertaining reviews! You always make me laugh! {hugs} -p4s 2012.01.21

Yes he will get hs toe stomped on. Faith should be the general, Buffy needs to worry about her family, it is not a normal one. She has to proctect them.
Spike is in deep doodoo with Pele.

Author's Response: Hi Gopher101! I think you're right on all counts! very deep doodoo ... {hugs} -p4s 2012.01.21

I'm not sure I like it but I understand why Buffy wants Faith to be the Slayer-general. I am really looking forward to Angelpie wrapping Spike around her little paw! Thanks for another wonderful update! More soon please.

Author's Response: Hi Melly! Poor Spike, he's totally outnumbered on the Angelpie fight - that's one he will never win! I really struggled with who should be the Slayer-general, but after much internal debate between myself, I decided that after all Buffy had been through with the Wish World and losing Bess, and all the prophecies hanging over them, that she would want to put her family first for once. Not sure how that will work out, honestly, 'cos my muse doesn't share his secrects for the future with me. I have a feeling that there could be a conflict between Buffy and Faith which would leave Buffy and Spike standing alone ... (geee - sounds vaguely like something that happened in s7, doesn't it?) Only 'cos that sounds like something my muse would do. Only time will tell. Thanks much for reading and always stopping in! Love hearing from you!! -p4s 2012.01.18
