BTW.. went back and reread your bio.. realized you were a Bama girl.

If it is the Alabama Crimson Tide you back.. Hoping Saban can do some good and then won't pick up and leave! Ha!

I'm from Louisiana ...LSU Tigers.

Good luck against Arkansas and we'll see what happens Nov. 3 LOL



Author's Response: Hey Pam! Well, I am from Bama but I am a Auburn fan. War Eagle! (Even though my boys are sucking very nicely this season) So, far though, Alabama seems to be kicking some major booty. I am at least a nice enough person to pull for them when they aren't playing my boys!

OK great , now bring Spike back before she decides he's all wrong for her or some other guy comes along and she decides she has to be with him instead , because that's how she is and it's totally frustrating when she does stuff like that, but she'll probably do it anyway right,even though she's not in a relationship. OMG I hope he hasn't moved on also. I feel an ill wind blowing in , love this story though.

Author's Response: There is an ill wind a blowing! How perseptive you are, Jo! Glad you are still liking the story, I am actually quite taken with it. In fact, it was suppose to be my secondary story that I fall back on when Lose Control gives me trouble, but all Muse wants to do is work on this! Crazy muse! Thanks so much!

I have a strange feeling that Barb from the book club was infact Spike from the bedroom but what could they possibly have to discuss - stay the hell away from my daughter or wait around in the wings and see if you still have feelings for each other when Buffy's grown up? I thought the time passing worked well. Spuffy with no Sp just isn't the same! Really looking forward to more and thanks for the update.

Author's Response: I totally love the way you worded the whole "Barb from the book club was infact Spike from the bedroom". Great! Glad the time passage worked out so well. I was a bit nervous about it. Thanks so much, Sam!

oh also i wonder how joyce knew spike age, i really hope that he didnt come by to talk with her and she kept that from buffy. also i hope that she didnt know that becuz she was either with him or knew that he was with cordys mom. i cant wait to read if anything like that happened, thanx

Author's Response: Very good, grasshopper. I was wondering who would catch that or if it wasn't as obvious as I had thought. You will be clued in soon. If not the next chapter, then the one after that! Thanks again!

Great high school ending. Now to the adult stuff please.
The chapter was good.

Author's Response: Thank you so much, DK. Honestly, I had not intended for this to have stretched out so long during the HS years, but Muse got carried away. Adult stuff will be soon, promise. Glad you liked it!

aweseme update.....hope spike comes back again soon lol....cant wait for the next installment :)

Author's Response: Thanks! Spike will be back in the next chapter, promise. The next update probably won't be until next week since tomorrow is a big day...FOOTBALL!

OMFG I CANT BELIEVE JOYCE, SHE WAS SO MEAN ABOUT IT!! ASLO BUFFY TOTALLY OVERREACTED, HE WAS DOING WAT HE THOUGHT WAS RIGHT!!! i LOVE this story and am so happy that u updated. i cant believe that she wouldnt listen to the understandin behind spikes decision and that she pretty much pushed him away. i really hope that the unber agnst wont be to bad and that theyre coming together afterwards will definitely be worth the wait. also i hope that eventually things work out and they end up happy. PLEASE update as soon as u can, i cant wait to read more. THANX, U ROCK!!!

Author's Response: Yes, Buffy totally overreacted, but put yourself into her situation. The first guy you sleep with decides to leave you all of the sudden because of her mother. I wouldn't believe him as far as I can throw him! Everything will work out eventually, but there will be many chapters of angst to follow before hand. Thank you so much for the fantastic review!

awww thats sad but i know u got something up yo sleeve and its gonna be good so more plz

Author's Response: Of course I have something up my sleeve! Always do! Thanks so much for the review, Tina!

So I guess there will be more yelling, Buffy slowly moving on after a while, Spike dating someone older for a while and then they meet again and after much fighting reluctantly admit that they are still majorly addicted to each other?
I hope you´re not that predictable, can´t wait to find out if someone finally has a different idea how to solve a situation like that......

Author's Response: Thanks so much, Angela. I truly hope that the next part of the story isn't "cookie-cutter" and that I'm not overly predictable. There relationship will take a while to pan out in the long run, but only because I want them both to grow up a bit before having them settle in for the long haul. Spike, however, will not be moving on with anyone else; so, that means there won't be any lovin' with Drusilla and I hope that will make yous happy. She will most likely make several appearances, but not be a serious character. The next setting the lovebirds will find themselves in together will be a mental doozy. Hope it can meet your expectations, I would hate to lose you as a reader. Thanks again!

Oh boy , this is very bad and what an unreasonable B---- Joyce is , how is Spike gonna make Buffy understand?

Author's Response: I know I pulled the total bitch card with Joyce, but I was channeling my inner mother! LoL! My mom would've acted about the same way, but with more objects flying at Buffy's head! Thanks for the review!

I thought Joyce was to hard on Buffy, seems like she has forgotten how it's to be young and in love? She has a cynical attitude about men, judging everyone alike, like all men want is sex. She destroyed the magic between Spike and Buffy. Spike broke up with Buffy, I feel sorry for her now. I hope she can understand him, why he acted like he did, and that she'll stop listening to her mothers narrow-mindead arguments. I don't want them to fight, but Buffy has to defend her view, she's not a child any longer, her mother has to let her in, let her make her own decisions and mistakes. I guess her mother really cares about her, but she has to learn how to deal with her feelings about Buffy growing up, not being her little girl. Thanks for writing!

Author's Response: Wow, thanks so much for the heartfelt review! Yes, Joyce was overly hard on Buffy, but then again...my mother would have done the exact same thing, but with flying objects tossed in. As far as our fav blonde couple, I am sorry to say that there will not be any Spuffy for several chapters. Please don't be too mad at me! Thanks for the review!!!!!

Hot and sweet, but it sure was a evil cliffhanger :p Yeah, I did read the warning... :) I guess that Joyce is home, not pleased with what she has found in her daughter's bed. I hope she won't find out who he really is, not yet anyway. Let the angst begin... Please update soon, I'm totally addicted to your story :)

Author's Response: There are no plans to have Joyce find out his true identity, at least not any time soon if at all. Don't need more drama to tear Joyce and Buffy apart. Glad you liked it and hopefully i can get something out next week. First, I have to work on Lose Control, though! Thanks again!!!!!!!!!

FUCK!!! NOOOOOOO!!!!!!! I CANT BELIEVE HER MOM CAUGHT THEM!!! also im SOOO SAD that there is going to be angst in their furture, theyre meant to be together and i hate theyre going to have trouble before they get to be happy. i really hope that her mom dosnt freak to much and that he still goes through with breaking up with cordys mom. also i hope that everything works out well and that they angst isnt too bad. PLEASE update as soon as u can, im DYING to read wat happens next. THANX

Author's Response: WOW! I really hate that I am going to have to break your poor, sweet heart...but, there will be some uber-angst in store for our fave blondes in the future. Just be patient....there is a method to my madness. Thank you so much!
