I swear hearing kids sing Moves like Jagger, is just wrong. Thoug your muse might like that, it is funny in a really twisted way.
Poor Spike that is one heck of a nightmare.

Author's Response: I LOVE THAT SONG! Some of the words are quite spuffy, don't you think? A bit of pain and pleasure ... and control and 'if I share my secret, your gonna have to keep it' ... very season 6! Heehee! Yes, it's a heck fo a nightmare ... Let's hope Buffy can find a way out for him, since he seems to be lost. Thanks gopher! Love hearing from U!! -p4s 2012.01.29

Poor Spike, trapped in a nightmare. He really must worry about his demon a lot, to have this kind of nightmare, the guilt of killing for money is probably a part of it too. He needs to remember that he's no Angelus, the demon is a part of him but not all, he could love and care before the soul.

Author's Response: Hi magnus! That is so true, he could love and did save his family even before his soul was restored completely. Even in canon, he tried to save his Mother, despite that not working out. His fear of the demon and what it *could do*, however, I think is what's driving his nightmare. Also, his guilt is adding to it because he knows how close he came to dusting and leaving his family alone. I think it's all just combined in his mind and is bringing his worst fears to life for him. Hopefully Buffy can find a way to break him out of it soon. -p4s 2012.01.29

OMG! Another heart-stopping cliff hanger! Gives Passion4Spike the link to Yoko Ono’s “Kiss Kiss Kiss” link. If this doesn’t rein in your evil spirited muse, *channeling Giles* THEN THE EARTH IS DOOMED!

Spike is acting like crazy Spike when The First Evil had him by the short hairs. Say It Isn’t So! Is his demon willing to allow William to stake him through the heart? Buffy entering his nightmare to witness his own personal purgatory must now know that his demon is keeping him in a coma. His demon apparently doesn’t love his own blood kin to drink from imaginary Mackenzie, it seems to love his sire more to have conjured her up to introduce vamp Buffy. Even newly turned William still felt love (even though his best intentions in turning his mother proved disastrous) is his demon too far gone from being held down?. Loved reading about the kids and how they miss their father, Annie and Bess talking was epic, Bess helping others is actually making her face her own demons and may actually help her to set an example for her siblings. BTW, I loved reading about the teddy bear and kitty in this chapter, it made Annier act her age. Sometimes the kids are a little too grown up and need to have their childhood toys and pets for comfort. Buffy’s guilt is not helping her family in my mind, the nearest person who can help would be Bess. Her demon was in control when she was first introduced and also has a soul. If only she could enter Spike’s mind to help her father. If not, then only Angel can help to make Spike’s demon submit – out of all the others, he can pull authority over Spike’s demon plus he would love the chance to pay Spike back for his taunts. I guess they got the prize money, so now they can put it to good use by setting up trusts for their kids if Spike ever snaps out of his pity party. Well, pulls out the cookbook again to bake sedated chocolate brownies for me and your muse to pass the time until your next update. ARGH!


Author's Response: Oh God! Please, not YOKO! Uncle! Uncle! LOL! Yes, I do admit that I tend to write the kids a bit older than they are ... I think that comes from being an only child and not having the experience of what a bunch of children would actually be like. I always preferred spending time with adults than children, children were so ... childish! LOL! So why the heck does my muse keep adding more!? (when I started this UNI it was gonna just be Annie/the Key - that was it!) I have no bloody idea why that changed! I also try to put in a few tantrums like this one and the one Billy had early in the story, 'cos obvously, kids have tantrums, even the best behaved ones. I'll try to remember to keep adding in props and stuff like that to keep their ages in perspective. I love the idea of Angel coming to stomp down Spike's demon, too bad I didn't think of it before I wrote the next chapter ... I don't know that the demon is actually stronger than it ever was, I just think Spike is afraid that it is and his hallucination/dream is projecting that fear and bringing his worst nightmare to life. Yes, they did get the prize money - that will be made clear in the next chapter. Ok, hold off on the cookies, Vette - there is a small glimmer of hope in the next chapter ... you might not need them! We couldn't take another second of Yoko so I posted right quick like a bunny just to get that wailing to stop... heehee! Thanks so much for your always indepth and funny reviews! -p4s 2012.01.29

There is nothing to say. Your muse
just seems to hate that family. Here is a song for your muse. "Love will keep us together' by Captain and Tenille.

Author's Response: Oh Bridget ... That could only be topped by Muskrat Love! He honestly doesn't hate them, he just likes to test them ... and us ... to our very limits. Just to see what we can take. Thanks so much for sticking with us and the music! -p4s 2012.01.29

Your muse beginning to like Mandy is proof positive that he’s gone sack of hammers now. You my dear must be saved from his insane, evil thrall as soon as possible so we can all return to a more happy, Spuffy life. I fear before that can happen though the insane duo of your muse and Dru are going to make us all suffer more than I care to imagine. Thanks for another great update. More soon please

Author's Response: Hi Melly!! heehee! You could be right about the sack of hammers! When I forced him to let Spike win, Blue Boy's (BB for short) first thought was - 'we need Dru!' LOL! oh dear ... what have I done? ;) -p4s 2012.01.29
