Brilliant play…Good Lord! A world without chocolate is like a world without scrunchies, shrimp or a world of nothing but bunnies! Too horrid to imagine! So glad that Bess returned home, that took a lot of courage. Hope that the family lets her know just how much they missed her and hope that Angelpie loves meeting her new extended family. Judy don’t let Clem get any ideas of gambling with her. So, what presents did Bess receive? Will we get to see her open them? I hope so. Your evil muse must be setting us up for more heartache. He tortures us like Angelus, first with the happy…then with the horror. Did Bess bring her own presents for her family? If not, then she can perform for them as part of her gift to them. Look forward to the next chapter.

Author's Response: Hi Vette!! Yes, a world without chocolate ... dear lord, we would all be doomed! :) We will see her presents and Angelpie will meet the family very shortly ... including Spike. :O Ok, my muse was very happy with this review up to the part where you compared him to Angelus! Oh dear ... now he's stomping mad!! Oh no - he's breaking furniture now ... I better go and see if I can calm him down! You really should know better, Vette! What are you trying to do, make him dust Spike just to get even with you? EEEEK! Gotta run ...

How do you do it?!? The Christmas play was brilliant!! I lack the vocabulary to tell you how much I loved it!!! And then to top everything off with bringing Bess home. Should I be worried about your muse? Not that I'm complaining you understand but I think something may be wrong with him because this chapter was so lacking in the angst. You don't ever have to apologize for too many pictures of Spike. It's simply not possible to have too many, I’m sure Buffy would agree with me on this. Thanks for one of your best ever!! More soon please.

Author's Response: YAY!!! Oh, you totally made my day (twice actually, when you left this and I read it and now today again when I finally have time to reply!)!! I'm so glad you loved the play! I do think my muse might've been smoking some wacky-weed when he wrote this ... it's quite out of character! Either that or he's lulling us into a false sense of security before he drops a bomb on us. :O There are some readers that appreciate a good Buffy picture or two ... I couldn't believe it when I saw I did almost all Spike! With his sexy wounds, no less! heehee! I agree you can never have too many Spike pictures ... and I'm sure Buffy would agree, but for the Spikes that read the story, they like to see the Slayer now and then! heehee! {hugs} Thanks soooo much for this review! It really did make my day(s)!!! -p4s 2012.01.18

Well she's a bit crazy, bv that can be good. She get angry fast but forgive fast. Some fights, some angst and some nice moments, a good chapter. I can't help but somehow like the loanshark, you made him well. It was good that Anya came up with a solution so they can use the money. Since they are living real lives they can't suddenly have money without any official reason.

Author's Response: Hi Magnus! I'm glad you liked the loanshark. I know everyone hated him at first, with all his threats and jacking the amount Spike owed, but I think he's really a fairly nice guy, just in a questionable business that requires a certain reputation to be successful. Yeah, I try to keep some of the reality of living in the real world in here. I totally hated things in canon like in s6 Buffy had to work double shifts at the burger joint just to survive, but in s7 she worked part time at the school and was fine? And then supported all those Potentials, too? Someone needed to explain that to me! Oh well ... I can handle three headed monsters and bringing people back from the dead, but things like that bother me! heehee! Thanks much for reading and always stopping in! {hugs} -p4s 2012.01.18

Glad that Buffy decided to bet on her favorite vampire even though she was mad at him – wise move! The fight club should sell DVD’s of their fights to their clientele, maybe Buffy could use her phone to record the Spike’s next fight and have the slayers go and sell them like Girl Scout cookies to the friendly demon community. In the TV series Spike had a minion video record Buffy when she was fighting, I think he got aroused when he viewed the footage and I can imagine that any recording of slayers fighting would have the same aphrodisiac effects on Sunnydale’s demon clientele. Maybe the girls could wear costumes like cowgirl or waitress outfits to sell the product! I’m totally off topic here, damn your muse for making want to make money for the Weckerly’s! Glares at him. Loved how Anya cooked up a plan to launder the winnings into useable cash - even dragged Giles into it with a gentle nudge. Well, I think that Buffy and Spike need to go shopping for non-flammable clothing for Spike’s next bout. Could he dress like a firefighter for the match? Eyes glaze over thinking of a calendar of Spike wearing different blue collar outfits. Gives your sinister muse a wish list of sexy uniforms for Spike and/or slayers to wear put him to work on that! Fire is operative word in this segment of their lives, a prophecy that state’s “the seer of truth is ‘a daughter of fire” and now Spike’s biggest bout is with Pele who has the power of fire, someone’s gonna get burned! Bites fingernails thinking about it.

Author's Response: God, Vette! I so love your reviews! You have me rolling ... and thinking about sexy uniforms for Spike to wear for a vamp/Slayer calender or video that could be hawked to demons and Slayers! heehee! Of course, it would 'not Village People at all' ... :P And, yeah, Spike totally got hot watching those vids of Buffy fighting! I hadn't actually put the fire references together until you said that - how cool! My muse works in mysterious ways and often leaves me in the dark with his themes... I'm actually just the stenographer... you might've figured that out. It's good to know that even Giles can be bought! LOL! And God bless Anya, ever the pragmatist! Keep biting your nails, gonna make you wait a bit for the fight ... be prepared, of course, for evil cliffies in here too! {hugs} -p4s 2012.01.17

Thank god that Spike won that, and the loan shark is leaving them alone for the time being. Hope they have a plan to take on the fire demon. And that they are successful with the money laundering. :) Still, seems like things are looking up. Just a little. Update soon.

Author's Response: Hi BuffyRat! Things do seem to be looking up and I think their problems with the loan shark are over. Now, the Pele demon - we'll just have to wait and see how that works out... I'm sure Anya will be able to handle the money laundering! heehee! -p4s 2012.01.17

I bet you Buffy will not let hime out of the house that night, unless Bess comes backs and hands the ring over to Spike to wear for the night.

Author's Response: Hi gopher101 ... Buffy may very well stop him from fighting, especially the more she finds out about this demon and the more worried she gets. The ring won't help him - he won't be able to wear it in the fight, so it's gonna have to just be him in there. No protection. Will have more soon! Thanks! -p4s 2012.01.17

Author's Response: Hi Michelle! The fight with the Pele demon is going to worry Buffy quite a lot ... and the more she finds out about it, the more worried she'll be. There is a definate chance that Spike will not win this... and a small chance that he could dust! {eeeek!} We'll just have to wait and see... Thanks for stopping in! -p4s 2012.01.17

Yippee!!! Spike won!! Loved the Shark's office and how Spike got some of his money back from him. Thank goodness for Anya so trouble with the IRS has been avoided. Leave it to your muse to come up with the evil idea of Spike having to fight Pele. Looking forward to learning what Bess has been doing in Cleveland. Thanks for the great (& quick) update. More soon please.

Author's Response: Hi Melly! Wasn't the shark's office neat?! So neat that I may have to use that set again ... I hate to spend all that time creating it and then just toss it away! heehee! What worse for a vamp to fight than a fire demon? Maybe a wood-stake demon ... but fire's pretty high on the list of things Spike would prefer to not face. Thanks so much for stopping in!

Very glad that Willow was a pretty good voice of reason all things considered. And despite how badly she wants to help, Buffy really is between a rock and a hard place, as Spike really is only gonna make things worse if there are any more broken rules. Hope she bets right... and that her man wins:) Update soon!

Author's Response: Hi BuffyRat! I was really happy with Willow's talk with Buffy - she seemed to be able to find the right way to point out that Spike was doing what he thought was best - even if he made some mistakes in how he went about it. And yeah, helping him fight wouldn't be of the good as far as the tournament goes, but if he's getting beaten badly, you know she'd jump in and protect him ...

Spike owes Willow a bouquet of flowers for being such a good friend to them both and loaning money when they need it. Willow not allowing Buffy to overlook her own transgressions is priceless and just what a good friend would do. I wonder if Faith (her name says it all) placed her own bet on Spike unbeknownst to Buffy. Will Buffy bet for or against Spike? Well, love may stink but to make sure she gets something out of the fight, she could split the bet down the middle on both opponents (if that is allowed). How Spike plans to cut off the head of his opponent is a mystery, unless he plans on breaking the plexiglas window and using it as a sharp object. Buffy kissing Faith may lead to Faith wanting to kiss Spike to do a comparison test to see who smooches the best! Your muse is really quite the tease throwing in the kiss as a diversion. Is there a spell to make mansions impervious to destruction? After they discover how to make a gem of amarra for Spike, they may want to make for F.L. Wright’s Ennis house a Mayan architectural artifact to protect it. Love stinks but your cliff hanger does too!

Author's Response: Hi Vette! I totally loved Willow's talk, I could just hear her so clearly through that - she's a great friend (to both of them) and has known Buffy long enough to be able to say those things to the Slayer in a way that won't get her head knocked off ... :) I personally wouldn't mind a little Faith kissage of Spike ... not sure how Buffy would feel about it, tho! She's not the prude she once was but not sure she's quite that open minded about her man. Maybe we could have a nice dream with the three of them and see how many reviewers come at me with their pitch forks ... eeek! Sorry for the evil Cliffie --- well, not really, but it sounds good! Will have more soon! Won't leave you hanging long, I promise!! I know, I hate waiting too long for updates when I'm reading, so I try not to do that to you. I love your reviews - totally love them! Thanks sooo much! My blue-eyed muse is sending you smoochies right now! -p4s 2012.01.11

Willow did a good job with the talk but what Spike did was much worse than what Buffy has done. He could have borrowed money from Willow and then the family wouldn't have been in danger. And he should have said something to Buffy. If he had died she wouldn't have known anything and the loanshark would still come to collect.

She will bet on Spike of course why else change the odds? But I don't remember this demon so I just have to wait and see.

Anyway, a Buffy/Faith kiss, very nice :-)


Author's Response: Hi Magnus - Well, that's very true. If he would have just borrowed the money from Willow - of course he would've had to tell Buffy about it then ... which would've been the *smart* thing to do... He just wants to handle things himself and I think it pains him to know that Willow and Tara are doing so much better than he is that it just hurts his pride to have to borrow money from them. And that's very true, if he had dusted, not only would she have lost him but Mr. Shark would still be at her doorstep and she wouldn't know anything about it... Glad you liked the Buffy/Faith kiss! I have to admit, I even liked it when my evil muse snuck it in there -- I was like - WHOA! That was hot! heehee! Where'd that come from!? Will have more soon! Thanks so much! -p4s 2012.01.11

Nice christmas part but the first picture told me it wouldn't end well. Buffy reacted as expected, and I can't blame her. Spike has trouble with thinking things through, he acts first and then don't think. Buffy will forgive him, after some time but it isn't just the lies, it's the he put the family in that makes this so bad. Spike has done a lot of stupid things but this is probably the worst.

If Buffy let him in the house again then I guess she will stop him from fighting, if not, he will probably keep fighting. Taking his place seems unlikely, she will think about the children

Author's Response: Hi magnus! Yeah, I figured that broken ornament was a give-away. My muse does love to buld the happy then pull the rug away and crash everyone down! Will post soon to see how Spike does ... Thanks much!! -p4s 2012.01.11

Poor Spike, doing the wrong thing for the right reason. Even if he wins that fight and the half million, I'm not sure that Buffy will quite forgive him. Here's hoping that Bess comes round, and that the children don't quite catch on to what's going on. Update soon.

Author's Response: Hi BuffyRat! Unfortunately, the kids are gonna hear what's going on - Buffy, however, does the right thing and doesn't bad mouth Spike with them, thank goodness! Spike doesn't always think things through - always thinks he can handle stuff and just wants to give them the world ... he's got a good heart, but his plans will always be a bit off I'm afraid.

Your evil muse has donned his Grinch outfit and ruined the happy moment the Weckerly family was enjoying. I’m sure at this moment he is happily dipping candy canes into cod liver oil and removing batteries from toys. Blue boy is set to name the home into “the mansion of misery” and now they have more repairs to make on their place. Since they are borrowing money from Willow, they may as well have her put some magic around the mansion to prevent violence like Lorne had at Clarita’s. Also, they should look into an alarm system around the perimeter of the property like the wicca’s did around the magic box against Glory on the TV series. I feel for Spike, for all of his good intentions, he broke Buffy’s trust, but she is also keeping her own secrets too! Pot…kettle black! The shark has to pay, he has been toying with Spike by threatening his family and even though business is business, how would he like it if his family were threatened. Hints to your muse to have Spike grab a baby shark and threatened to serve it up as sushi! Only then would “seal breath” understand how vulnerable he can be too! Hope that Spike and Buffy can let cooler heads prevail and know that when it comes to protecting your loved ones (such as Spike did for Bess) that there are not right or wrong answers. Channeling thoughts of Hannibal Lector to your muse to heat up some fava beans and a nice Chianti to eat with shark liver!

Author's Response: LOL!!!!!! cod liver oil!! Not even my muse is that evil ... is he?? heehee! The problem with the spell like at Caritas is that Spike can't fight ... and neither can Buffy for that matter (Giles has it on the Magic Box and they had this problem a long time ago - they couldn't hurt a human (watcher) there) ... Oh yes, someone may point out the pot and kettle problem to Buffy very shortly! LOL! on Fava beans and chianti with shark liver! You're too funny!! I love your reviews, Vette!!

You broke my heart with the last chapter and now you and your muse have decided to stomp on the pieces. I keep hoping since Bess is so strong she'll come back and kick some demon shark a** and then win the tournement. I'll settle for Buffy and Spike working this out and it not destroying their marriage. Thanks for another great, although heartbreaking, update. More soon please

Author's Response: Hi Melly ... Well, my evil, blue-eyed muse is doing a little jig now ... dancing around the computer as he breaks our hearts and stomps on them. Buffy will certainly consider kicking some shark ass in the next chapter ... but technically, Spike did borrow the money, despite the shark's extra-high interest and late fees ... Of course, if he actually comes after the kids, then all bets are off. We'll find out soon what Buffy decides to do ... and we will get back with Bess soon too. Thanks so much.

My letter to Santa Claus….Dear Santa, please leave a lump of coal and some “happy pills” for Passion4Spike’s evil & sinister muse. Oh, don’t forget to leave some restraining chains and a ball gag to keep him under control. I don’t think Mrs. Claus would mind loaning hers to him to keep him under control. Love Vette. Honestly! Your muse pulled out all the tear-jerking moves from the kids writing to Santa to Buffy and Spike feeling inadequate to providing Christmas prezzies for their children. Spike thinking that he lost the fight and wallowing in despair really was heart wrenching. Buffy better patent her scrunchie invention before someone beats her to it (glares at Anya). The council could invest in Buffy’s scrunchie invention by placing an order for a slayer branded scrunchie (stake pattern) complete with Velcro for attaching a wooden hair stick for a backup stake. Bess is being all secretive with her anti-spyware magical mojo. Sounds like she is setting roots in Cleveland though I really she returns to Sunnydale to bond to her family. If all else fails in buying gifts for the kids, they could always resort to buying a puppy, I’m sure Angelpie wouldn’t mind another pet to play with if Bess ever returns home to her family. Mails letter to Santa.

Author's Response: ROFL!!!!!!!! My blue-eyed muse is this moment sitting under my (yes, still up!) Christmas tree waiting for the happy pills and ball gag to arrive. They're so cute at that age!
