That's just about the greatest first date I've ever read or even heard about. I want a Spike all for myself to take me to such a place!! Great update, can't wait for more!

Author's Response: LOL, I thought it was kind of unique, I mean I wouldn't mind having a first date like that. I'm glad you liked the chapter and thanks so very much for the great review sweety.

In a way it is cute: Washing the clothes on the last possible day to be able to smell the scent longer.
*curious* Where does Buffy want to take them? An event she visited with her mother, hmmm.
And I'm glad that one misunderstanding is out of the way too: Buffy doesn't think any longer that he doesn't like her.
Indeed this 'going out' is more like a date then business *g*. New to Spike too. Even if both sets of eyes are wandering and enjoy what they see ;-)
And then again, Spike needing reassurance, a hello? Awe :) Maybe there was more William speaking than Spike.
They can walk? Anyway, better with all the wine. Awe, how romantic: a music festival. (*grins* Buffy forgot the corkscrew? She was a bit too nervous I guess.) Romantics songs, even more with them dancing to it. :) Glad to read Spike will fight for her now. Anything for my girl, huh? ~
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwweeeee loved the chapter :)

Author's Response: Yeah, William was hanging onto anything he could up until the last moment (w/ the clothes). Buffy was being a tad cryptic only because she wanted to see his reaction to the situation - hey, it could have backfired on her... we know it wouldn't but she didn't know that. I had to have them resolve the huge misunderstanding caused from him walking out on her... the story simply couldn't move forward without burying the hatchet. Oh yes, Spike may have come out to say a few things, but William was present and accounted for in his actions and words. There will be more spuffiness ahead in chapter 19, promise. Thanks hon for the awesome review, talk to you soon.

That was romantic and fluffy, but it was charming. I like how William called Buffy "my girl" a couple of times, and Buffy didn't get all over speculative about it. They both just went with the romance of the evening, not trying to gauge each other's actions and reactions. Now that they're all warm and open to one another , I'm sure you have something in store for us. I hope it includes conversation, something to move the relationship to another level.

Author's Response: Well, they needed a nudge and thankfully Buffy was the one smart enough to know they needed some neutral ground and pleasant distraction from all that was sexual... ok, at least for now. It really wasn't her intention to purchase him for sex, but if it happens as a natural result - she won't argue. Chemistry is well... science. Hopefully you'll enjoy the next chapter too hon. Thanks for the awesome review.

Oh no all the sickly sweetness was exactly what B&S deserve-a very good update indeed. I'll still be waiting with bated breath for the next chapter of course, but I'm ecstatically happy to see these two connecting in a non-ssexual way. Hmmmm did I mention I love this fic

Author's Response: Hee hee, I'm so glad you're still enjoying the fic sweety, and that you enjoyed the romantic chapter. Yes, I felt it was time for them to start connecting, and what better way than a romantic setting faaaaaaaaaaaar away from a bedroom. Thanks so much for the wonderful review, I do hope you enjoy the next chapter just as much.

Well for starters....THIS WAS FREAKIN' AMAZIN'!!!!!!!!!! I swear I had tears in my eyes from the songs you chose. I used 'At Last' in one of my fics too, and actually had it played at my wedding so it's always one of my favs.


The emotions in this chap were just the way it should be and I know you won't fall short in the chaps to come. I'm lovin' this more and more and can't wait to see what's in store for our fav couple. Kuddos on a job well done yet again ;)

Author's Response: Oh sweety, you always have so many kind words for me, and I so hope your tears were good ones and not bad - or else I'll have to punish my muse. WOW, you had At Last played at your wedding, sighhhhhs, how romantic indeed. You know I couldn't resist picking the cream of the crop from that era to put in here, and I'm so happy you enjoyed them all and the emotions our couple felt during their night out.. Thanks so much for the awesome review... I IM 'd you recently to let you know my week has been hectic, but we most definetely need to go to lunch next week.

don't you dare apologize for the fluffy-ness that was this chapter. it was absolutely amazing!!!!!!!!!! lol. ilike a lot of 50s-60s music too. all the songs fit perfectly with the mood. this was well worth any of the angst that you put us all through the last couple of chapters. great job. more to come please.

Author's Response: The muse just threw up his hands in defense of apologizing... he just couldn't help himself from creating a bit of romance and then worrying it would be percieved as fluff. I'm always so happy to get your reviews, full of encouragement and praise. I do hope you enjoy the next chapter as well... they'll continue where they left off. Thanks so much hon for the stellar review.

mmm... Thanks for keeping up the sugar levels!! Thanks for this magical chapter! Thanks for this great story! And... Should I thank to you or your muse for your wonderful style writing? :D
I'm looking forward your next update...knowing it'll be a little more "action" on it, but... hey! they'll still have those romantic songs on their mind (just like I do now) so ... I guess they'll finish this special date in a special way
(Oh god, I think this review is too long for my English... especially when I'm writing it so late in here) :s


Author's Response: *giigles and blushes*... I think my muse is on a sugar high from all your sweet words. Oh yes, they will still have their romantic moment intact from all the wonderful songs they heard. And you can defintely look forward to an evening full of much steamy goodness. I'm so thrilled you enjoyed the chapter hon and your review will have my muse blushing for days, thanks.

It was perfect! Not overly sweet at all. Oh, my god I love the music! I’d forgotten some of the music from the ’50. Thanks for bring them back. You know I’ve never read something where the author, put the songs in there for people to listen to, sure a link but never, in the story that is just great!!

Author's Response: Ooooh squeee, really? I didn't think about leaving a link like at the end of the chapter, I wanted everything accessable in 'real time' with the characters activities. Wow, guess the muse is even smarter than I am, lol. I'm really glad you enjoyed the songs this chapter re-introduced to you, there some of my favs. Thanks so very much for the wonderful review hon.

Wonderful chapter. Really enjoyed the pace. I remember all those song very fondly having dated at that period of time. Brought back many fond memories. They needed this kind of time to be just natural. Hope he really gets the hint how Buffy really feels about him.Look forward to next update and the rest of the date.

Author's Response: Oh that's so wonderful hon... my parents were married during the fifties and of course coming from a family where everyone plays piano, my father would sit at his theatre organ or the piano and play every night - these kind of songs. I would lay on the couch in the room and fall asleep listening to him... When i first came up with this chapter, my muse jumped up and down frantically - he knew there was nothing more perfect than this kind of evening and these kinds of songs to help our couple move closer together. I'm so happy you enjoyed it, and I think there's great hope for him believing he now stands a chance with Buffy, and she him. Thanks for the wonderful review sweety.

I listened to every song as you changed it. it really helped get into the mood. :) I enjoyed it and though i usually like the rock-y-er music from that era, it really fit. Good chapter! UPDATE SOON

Author's Response: Wonderful, I'm glad you did click and listen as you read... I really thought it would make the experience of our couple more 'potent' if you will, as you read. I love the rock and roll tunes from the era as well, but alas I couldn't put them here without breaking the mood theme. I'm soooo glad you liked it hon and thanks for the awesome review.

Spuffy can't ever be too sweet for me, so I loved this chappie! I liked them getting to have some time together outside the bedroom.

Author's Response: Oh yes, my muse insisted they get out of the bedroom... and start moving into eachother's heart. I'm glad it wasn't to sweet for you, my muse is giggling right now in the background. Thank you for the fantastic review hon.

Great chapter.

My grandmother was my babysitter, so I was raised on these songs. The family used to go to a similar thing to this when I was a kid, though it was Big Band music, instead.

That was a perfect "first date".

Author's Response: Wow really??? That is so awesome. oh yes, I like big band music as well. I hope you enjoy the next chapter just as much hon, they'll be riding high on the wave of emotions they've shared thus far. Thanks for the truly wonderful review sweety.

Author's Response: Yay, I love it when readers like you say they can see the scene in their mind. My muse tried very hard to accomplish that, so it pleases me to no end to have you say that. I'm very happy you enjoyed the chapter sweety, and thank you so much for the lovely review.

wow! once again, another great chapter. Thanks for even providing the music. It really sets the mood of your story. I'm sure everyone who has read your story would agree that you are such an amazing and talented writer! Keep it up! I would always be looking forward to the stories that you'll be making. :-)

Author's Response: Oh, no problem at all sweety, the muse was on a mission to incorporate it, darn guy wouldn't let me rest till I did it. I'm so glad it helped you to enjoy the chapter that much more. Omg, i am so blushing right now from your compliment. I promise not to let it go to the muse's head though, I'm on a quest to get better with time so I can hopefully tackle creating a fic that recquires a more complex and intricate plot... someday anyway. For now I am thrilled you'll read whatever the muse comes up with next... you know him, he can be so very naughty sometimes, but he always seeks to entertain. Thanks so much for the lovely review, I'm floating 3 feet off the ground right now, *hugs*.

Ahhhhh... 50's music! LOVE it! I'm 34 and listen to Buddy Holly more than the radio! Everly Brothers are one of my favorites! My AOL radio stays tuned to the 50's channel (Be Bop A Lula is currently playing). Glad I'm not alone! Wonderful story. Keep it up!

Author's Response: Oh man, the Everly Brothers rock. My sister and I had a couple albums we would play on a record player (omg, there was actual vinyl back then) and even at age 8 I would sing my heart out to every song. Ah yes Be Bop A Lula... she's my baby.... so luv it. I'm glad this chapter struck a personal chord for you (hey wow, I just made a pun - I'm so corny sometimes, lol) and had enjoy the chapter that much more. Thanks for the wonderful review - seems we're kindred spirits.

Oh no, not too fluffy at all, it was delightful on the contrary. And the music reminded me of my Mum who loves Johnny Mathis and the Platters (so do I). It's nice to see the characters interact on a different level. A perfect romantic evening...
