Summary: Four years after the murder and Spike still can't talk about it. Will the arrival of Buffy Summers at Sunnydale High change that? Buffy and her brothers are new to the small town and she is certain Spike Giles has something to hide. Though perhaps Buffy does as well?

Ah that's what it is eaten Spike away about his mother's death. Not sure what he really could have done with 14 (depends on what has happened).
Enjoyed the update.
Author's Response: thanks cor!

Gunn is right - if Spike wants to be with Buffy he has to share his feelings / talk to Buffy. I hope he learned that now.
~ Looking forward to more.
Author's Response: Thanks! And I dont think you'll be disappointed!

Heh - the hug-a-thon worked :)
Giles' teasing was fun.
Looking forward to the date :))
PS = it's "of course"
Author's Response: glad you liked.... yikes about the course coarse thing... i always mess that up! thanks for the help! *hugs*

Oh yeah - good update :) Loved the banter.
(Regarding course/coarse - that's what a beta is for and more. Stupid spell check doesn't find everything. I notice all the time if I reread my reviews that I've missed something.)
And now that got longer than my review *g*
Looking forward to more.
Author's Response: lol thanks cordy! And thanks for the little extra beta-lite help *g* more up soon.

Awe :) (When Buffy imagined Spike as her future boyfriend).
Can't be bad when Spike starts to write music again :) Hopefully he'll start to feel better now.
Author's Response: hehe im glad you liked in cor. More up soon. and as for Spike feeling better... we shall see ;-)

Giles is right - if he s still so hurt after all these years it's time to ask for help. William isn't ready for that yet.
Hopefully time will help - in this case, in the form of Buffy.
Author's Response: Yeah... these boys need some serious TLC don't they lol. GLad you liked. *hugs*

Heh - Spike took good care of Buffy :)
But now I'm wondering what they talked about - Buffy definitely meant something else, not the same Spike thought of.
Author's Response: he did didn't he :-) And don't worry you will find out just what Buffy meant soon enough! More up in a little while! *hugs* and thanks cor.

Oh my and there I wondered why Spike didn't react - this triggered bad memories. I hope Buffy can get out of this.

The chapter didn't go the way I liked it - hope it will get better. Buffy is all alone now against the Coach.
Author's Response: Dont worry... Buffy isn't alone... and this is a Spuffy story so... put your faith in me! *hugs*

Sad past of William.... this was devastating for him.
But not wanting to be with Buffy because of that? Not his best decision.
And Buffy was raped before? No wonder she is frozen when the Coach attacked her - Buffy never coped with it, didn't tell anybody.
This will eat her away if she doesn't do something *sigh*
But got so hurt in the past and now they hurt each other.
Author's Response: I know, he is so stupid! But teenagers remember... the pay off in the end will be great though! Don't worry the angsty build up will relent eventually! More up soon! Glad you still like!

Going to L.A. ... and risking to be alone with the Coach? Won't be easy for Buffy. If she had told the others she could count on their support.
Mmmmh wonder if they will talk soon.
Author's Response: Yes... Buffy needs to be more honest! The trip awaits.... more up tonight! thanks for always reviewing :-)

Mmmh it sounds as if Angel and Xander knows what Coach Rayne did... or did they watch Spike? Sounded like they where looking out for Coach Rayne but I'm not sure.
More angst? You're evil ;))
Author's Response: LOL.... you will find out who and what they were looking out for in the next chap! And the angst gets a little more heavy in the next couple chaps.... but i like a happy ending too... so stick with me! *hugs*

Ah Ford? I expected the Coach. But at last this time Ford got what he deserved :)
And after all one misunderstanding is out of the way now. *hopefully*
Till next time :)

That chapter went definitely better for Buffy - no attack :) And Spike explained the why, so good to see them okay again.

Hope Giles won't get in trouble - but he did what the police can't do. And Ethan had it coming - I guess Buffy isn't the first one he was after.
Enjoyed :)
Author's Response: Yeah... Ethan had it coming plus i can't resist me a little Ripper *pants* Thanks Cordy! More up right now!

And Buffy was right - a good idea or hers to get counseling too. It will help her with the stuff that happened in the past.
Enjoyed the read :) Looking forward to the rest.

Awe, loved the way it ended (and open enough for a sequel if you ever want to do it).
Enjoyed the read :)
Author's Response: Thanks! I want you to know it was a sheer pleausre posting it thanks to your constant encouragement and reviews! *hugs* sequel huh? Will shall see.
Summary: Sequel to Second Youth. Happy season seven! Buffy and her happy family deal with those that would wish to tear them apart: government agencies, the Watcher’s Council and a rogue demon hunter.

Date: 02/18/2007 Title: Chapter 16: Dawn’s plan
That sounds as if Dawn isn't in a good condition but at last she is alive *is glad about that*.
And I'm sure Buffy will have no problem granting Anya's wish.
Graham will have answers (at last some, not all; he isn't so high in rank). I thought first the plan would be dangerous to Dawn but she doesn't want to go in a military base, she wants to kidnap him. That sounds less dangerous and 'doable'.
Author's Response: Thanks for the review!

Wood was indeed perplexed *g*. ~ Dawn is only tired, that's good. I wasn't sure if it was worse. I wondered how they'll get Graham to talk. With the truth spell they know at last he won't lie. (I'm not sure if a spell would make you tell everything too? Works it that way? Even better than.)
Author's Response: Thanks for the review!

Spike in 'Daddy' mood, wanting Dawn to keep his little nibblet is fun :) Just not for Dawn *gg*
Graham talked.. what a disappointment for Dawn that Graham would have held his orders higher (then her). Area 51? Mmmh-hmmm I wonder what they are doing with all the captured demons there.
And Graham heard too much; they must see that he won't talk.
Author's Response: I'm sure they'll do something to make sure he doesn't talk.
