Buffy needs to know Spike is never out for the count.. as seen by the shower scene.. and of course on display.. (18 .). Spike.
As much as I fear that the present is from Angelus and his sister.. hoping more it is the book from the Witch that realizes the time is near... what ever spell he needs or ?
enjoyed..

Author's Response: Hee... indeed! She didn't see that quick maneuver coming. *g* But she definitely took her fill of seeing him in the birthday suit. ;)
Hmmm... I do like the way you think! I'm not going to say a thing, but you'll find out if you were right in the next chapter. Thank you for the wonderful review!!! :)


Author's Response: Correction: I don't know where's my head at, but the box will actually be revealed in ch22. *shakes head at herself*

Oh look - another update, didn't expect one so soon. Good luck with your move (and having Internet).
Mmmmh I don't think the package with a blood red bow is a good one (from his sister with love?).
Drunken Spike was fun - and he still has good reflexes like getting Buffy under the cold shower, too.
Oh he can be so bad *ggg*

Author's Response: What can I say? I aim to please. ;) Thanks! I pray there will be internet because I need it to update and to do my part-time job for newspaper.
Hmmm... the mysterious package. You'll find out what's in it in the next chapter.
Buffy did not expect him to react so swiftly either. lol Thank you for the yummy review!!! :)


Author's Response: Ahh, not in the next chapter. Spike will find the box in ch22. :)

Very cute. You're the master of the epic tease so I have a feeling they won't even kiss until the last chapter.

Author's Response: Hahaha... you never know. ;) There might be smoochies. Thank you for the delightful review!!! :D

It was very sad for William to realise his sister was turned. He has known very little happiness. Can't wait for more!

Author's Response: Definitely not a walk through the park. Bad luck seems to be piling up on him, doesn't it? More today. :D Thank you for the lovely review!!!

Thought as much - so Spike's sister is still eh un-dead. I wonder if she works with Angelus, is with him. She almost sounded as if not.
Well she worked with Angelus before.
Looking forward to the next chapter. :)

Author's Response: She's definitely of the undead population. A very good question about whose side Eline is on! Her loyalties tend to be really fickle, so I suppose you'll find out eventually. ;)
Thank you for the very lovely review!!! :)

You totally surprised me with the introduction of Eline. What an amazing chapter!!!

Author's Response: I did?! Awesome. :D I was going for a bit of a plot twist, so I'm glad it paid off. Also, how did you know saying it was amazing would melt my heart? Because it did. Thank you for being made of win!!! :)

No wonder he hates Christmas. How horrible to see the shell of his twin and know that she is not the person he loved. Chilling to find out that Dru suffered being held captive for 2 years without his knowing it. Look forward to more.

Author's Response: Christmas time is not a happy one for Spike. Too many bad memories, and a few new ones that he's going to add to the collections of Xmas badness. Finding out that Dru was alive for such a long time didn't help his conscience either. No wodner he's been Scrooging it. More will be up soon. :) Thank you for the wonderful review!!!

Thank you for the lovely update. Poor Spike! I can't blame him for avoiding Christimas like the plague. Also: yay for upcoming Spuffy! :)

Author's Response: I'm happy you liked it! :) Poor Spike indeed. Christmas time has not been good to him this year. Perhaps it will improve after Buffy knocks on his front door. ;) Thank you for the yummy review!!!

Dude, if I thought Buffy's birthdays were bad on the show, Spike's Christmas sure gives them a run for their money. Not only is he haunted by his vamped sister, he finds out the darkness that awaited his beloved Dru. I do hope he's able to come back to himself before sweet little Buffy shows up. Love the back story, dark though it is. Can't wait for more. Update soon!

Author's Response: LOL That is very true. Spike has had a whole lot of badness dumped right on his head. The next chapter will show you how he dealt with it and what happens when Buffy pays him a visit. And speaking of disastrous Buffy birthdays, I already wrote a chapter where she celebrates it, so... well, it should be interesting. ;) Thank you so much for telling me you love the back story!!! I really appreciate it. :) Promise, more will be up as soon as possible.

The Dru stuff is heartbreaking. A thirteen year old vampire is such a disturbing idea. Liked the "Chance," reference at the beginning. The story really seems to be coming together.

Author's Response: Dru has had a shitload of bad luck in her life. To be honest, human thirteen year old girls are a disaster, but a vampire... not good. Eline's mind matures but her body doesn't, and that feeling of being locked sure can't inspire thoughts of puppies and rainbows. I actually did think of Chance when I wrote the beginning. :D So awesome you caught it! Thank you for the awesome review!!!

You knew with Dru's early ravings about the Devil and the Wall being red that she was seeing vampires. And I thought Spike's sister would be turned.. why would Angelus waste the time carrying her off.. But to torture poor Dru for two years.. yet not that much different than what her life had been I guess.
What sadness for William.. Something that Angelus would love-his brand of mental torture..
enjoyed.. but angsty.. definitely ready for the Spuffy chapter.

Author's Response: Yup, that's right. Dru was having visions of vamps, but she didn't exactly know what it all meant then. If she did, she might have prevented what happened to her. And as to your question... why would Angelus waste timing carrying Eline off... well, she wasn't that much of a weight for him. Why do vampires turn humans? To have a new plaything? Because they took a 'liking' to someone? You can take your pick. ;)
Angelus does love games, doesn't he? I believe he takes more pleasure from destroying someone than actually killing them. That's what makes him a monster. That need to inflict as much pain as he possibly can.
I think you'll like the next chapter. Thank you for reviewing, Pam!!! :)

I wouldn't be surprised if Spike did something to make hank send Buffy to a secluded bording school. Cause he has some bad luck, and if they discover her. Shudder.

Author's Response: I promise there will be no boarding school. Hank would never do that. Besides, he couldn't afford it. ;) We'll just have to wait and see what transpires. Thank you for reviewing, gorgeous!!! :)

I love that Hank is so onto the Spike crush, even if Buffy and Spike are both in denial about it. I wonder if one of them will break down on Christmas. I don't think he giver her enough credit at being a fighter. Would it be so bad if he had an ally? I know he may fear losing her, but it is so damn sad to think he won't even try. Still can't wait for more. Love every moment they struggle thru. And maybe she should let curiosity find out what "cookies" Spike is talking about. Update soon!

Author's Response: Sometimes it takes a person with an outside perspective to see things objectivelly. ;) Unfortunately, neither Buffy and Spike can do that. The chapter for (post) Christmas is already written and should be quite fun. It's the one after the next update. You're right... it would be great if Spike could find in her an ally. He's just too used to being on his own that it's really hard to break that habit and let someone so close on purpose. I'm glad you're liking! Hee... the cookies comment made me giggle! Someone's got a naughty mind. ;) Thank you for the wonderful review!!!

I love it! Just read trough the whole thing, it´s great... I really like Hank in this story, it´s about time he got to be the good guy :)

Author's Response: *beams* And I most certainly love you for saying that. ;) It's really awesome that you read it all the way through. It has to mean you really liked it, and that makes me happy. :) I had fun writing Hank, much more fun that I thought I would and it was a nice change to have him be a good parent for once. lol Thank you for the yummy review!!!

Soo cute! Will Spike get Buffy a Xmas present?

Author's Response: Hee... glad you think so! And a very good question... I'm just not sure if I should spoil anything for you. :) But you'll find out in the chapter after the next one, I think. Thank you for reviewing, claudia!!!

It's Christmas and Spike didn't notice? He doesn't decorate much - and has other important things on his mind, huh?
Hank inner monologue was cute (fatten Buffy up). But it's clear to see why he wants to protect her, so much happened to her already.
Looking forward to more.

Author's Response: Nope. He's not much for celebrating holidays. And not much for decorating either, as you mentioned. :) Because yup, there are other things filling his mind.
Hee... I'm glad you liked! He really does want to protect her, as any good father would.
Thank you for the lovely review!!! :D

I loved Hank's thoughts. Witty and sappy, perfect for a dad.
I love how you put Joyce in the story, and yay Giles is still alive.

Author's Response: Haha... I'm happy to hear that! :D
She fits the role of Giles' wife much better than an evil Buffy's mother, doesn't she? At least I thought so. :) Thank you for the yummy review!!!

This chapter was so sweet--wondering what happened to the flour on the floor, though.

Author's Response: I'm glad you think so! :) Oh don't worry about the flour, I haven't forgotten about it. Buffy will mention it in one of the future chapters that I've already written. Thank you for reviewing, Minx!!! :D

I wrote a review but for some reason TSR claimed that it was the wrong code. And we both know that the first review is the best! Anyway, I wanted to tell you that I love your portrayal of Hank. It's nice to see Buffy with a loving father. It makes me wonder how Buffy's character would have been different with her father's presence. I love that you incorporated Joyce as Giles' wife -- and the fact that Spike knew without a doubt that she would have him spilling his secrets over hot chocolate, no less! I love this, please keep going! =)

Author's Response: Ooh, I hate when that happens. Since it happened to me several times, I now obsessively copy every review/reply before hitting 'submit'. :D Glad you liek Hank!! I thought it would be a nice change of pace int he Buffyverse fic since he's usually depicted as a bad guy... but hell, this is AU, so I can do things that would be too farfetched in canon fics. Giles fit that fatherly role there, so I think Buffy hasn't really missed her father too much. But I too wonder if she'd have been different had Hank stayed in her life. :) Ah, Joyce. Of course she'd have Spike spilling the beans in few seconds flat. lol Perhaps we'll get to see that in one of the future chapters. ;) Thank you for being awesome!!!

Buffy... seeing through Spike's facade.
She's almost 18 and never been... let's see if Spike has it bad enough to show up at Buffy's door step Christmas.. LOL
Giles and Joyce... wished Joss would have given that relationship a chance.. Loved them in Band Candy..
enjoyed..

Author's Response: She does that, doesn't she?
Haha... well, you're right ont hat one. ;) The next chapter will show what Spike's up to on Christmas. It might not be a visit to Summers' residence but I think you'll like it. ;)
Oh, yeah. Then again, as we all know Joss, it would have ended badly. He seems to have a problem with his characters being happy. lol
Thank you for the sweet review!!! :D

Clever idea with the flour. But I'm not sure not it will show something - looking forward to find out. Sad, Spike's and Dru's back-story.

Author's Response: It was a good idea, but we all know Buffy's not sleepwalking. ;) Which means you'd be right. There's another William/Dru scene and it will not end all that happily. Thank you for being lovely!!! :D
