lol - I had to read what a mallet is. Be careful what you ask for - especially on the hellmouth. :-D Thanks for the update.

well, i wonder what happened on the shopping trip. just have to wait and see. buffy's got a boyfriend....yeaaaaaa.....i didn't realize how anxious Dawn is about getting to those books and find out what she wants to know. that was classic dawn about starting from the most recent and not the beggining. that was every interestign what willow did with manipulating time like that. guess she really was in a hurry. guess we now know just how she feels about everything that is going one. i understand her not knowing buffy was in heaven and not understanding on some level but she and xander both know she had to crawl her way out.....well, selfish, the both of them. Wesley should know better than to match spike drink for drink.....and dawn giving him the mallet was the funniest part. i'm still laughing. great chapter Nia. can't wait to find out whats in those books that dawn has...:)

looking like wapping up is coming up!

Another great Chapter. Please more chapters i just love it when Spike and Buffy get along So glad she said he was her boyfriend.Hopefully they will get Willow under control And Zander will take his head out of you know where. Please continue to uppdate soon and often. Looking forward to the next chater please More

"Why they’d decided to start translating from the beginning, instead of the end she didn’t really understand. Were they trying to drive her mad? What was wrong with them?" -- This part cracked me up! That's our Dawnster - always one step ahead... sort of. LoL. Oh Nia, this chapter was too cute for words! I could just see Spike's shocked reaction to Buffy calling him her "boyfriend". And Tara's response to his look was hilarious! Buffy and Spike are just too adorable! I could just eat them up. Of course, with Spike included as a side dish or topping, I would eat just about anything. Wesley and Dawn's interplay this chapter was priceless. Just absolutely delightful. That Dawn sure has a wicked sense of humor. I think she gets it from Spike. I'm glad Tara is more at peace since her confab with Spike. It's so much easier to make difficult decisions when you aren't so bogged down by worry and fear. And it looks like she's going to need to be able to make some very hard decisions in the future. I'm so glad she has that support system. It's wonderful to see her opening up to someone that isn't Willow. For so long, Willow was the only one of the group that she would open up to. Reading Tara in your story is like watching a flower bloom. I thought Willow in this chapter was very... deluded. She seems to be seeing only what she wants to see, the way she wants to see it. And it would appear that her powers have evolved to the point that she can now make her immediate environment cater to her conscious and subconscious desires. I could be mistaken, but were the people frozen in place because she subconsciously willed it so, due to her lateness? If this is true, what could that mean for the others in the Summers' household? Will she soon be able to control their actions, thereby moving them as puzzle pieces? You are introducing some very scary themes here. Very 1984. I love it! I can't wait to see what Dawn discovers in those volumes she pilfered!

What a great scence finding all those lovely Englishmen lying about..can't say I would kick any of them out for eating crackers or being a vampire....Great analogy of the marshmellow's with Buffy's thoughts on Spike...toasty on the outside but YUMMY goodness on the inside.....*sighs*...Ah but Dawn...not waiting around for things going to do her own homework....Though i do hope she will find her answers, she deserves them....Willow that drip finding them all frozen....oh good gods what happened now.....though i am thinking that she may of thought thing that way so she could be on time for class and it just happened...grrrrrrr that woman....LOVED the last scene with Dawn and Wes...leave it to Dawn to grab a mallet and offer it over as a hangover remedy and to take it literally...love it love it.....But ohhhhhh what do the books say and what did Willow do to the class?????? Either way NICE way to keep things twining together like a fine celtic knot....
