'Maybe the bastards would think her easier prey than him and go for her first. A vamp could wish.' LOL! Yeah, right, Spike! Keep acting like Big Bad, we know the truth! :P

“Do you, um, think you could get off now?” Buffy, Buffy, Buffy ... you can't give him a straight line like that! heehee!

Love all Buffy's embarrassment and Spike taking the piss out of her. These ware-bears seem to be quite a problem, however. Can they be hurt after they turn solid? B/S didn't actually try, just ran - which, granted, was probably a good idea, but still a question.

Enjoying the story!


Author's Response: Classic Buffy not thinking before she speaks ;) Unchipped, early season Spike is my fave, hands down! I love stories where he and Buffy are forced to co-operate for a common goal and all the snark, bickering and UST that comes from it :D The spirit animals can flicker betwen solid (to inflict harm on their victim) and incorporeal (in order not to take any damage) at will, so they are still 'invulnerable' while in animal form I'm afraid. Spike has experience in that from before Buffy & co arrived - just to clear that up. I am now very excited to hear what you think of the rest of the story! :D -3hrs

Author's Response: Hee. I think my favourite parts are when Buffy digs a hole for herself that allows Spike to easily take the piss. Snarky Spuffy is awesome. The bears certainly are a problem. No wonder Spike dislikes them so :) - wolf
