It seems the net is starting to close around the hapless trio. Pity cos I could do with more of Buffy slapping Xander around. It's my kind of fun. Loved the update.

Thanks for the update. I hope you had a lovely hoiday season. I'm glad some answers are coming to light, and Buffy's getting less shy about standing her ground.

Fab update, I love this story.  Yay Buffy's sticking up for herself again, I can never have too much of that, but Xander and Willow are being deliberately obtuse, though points for the security camera business.

Buffy standing up for herself, good. Willow at least seems to slowly beginn to see her point.

Great chapter!  Looking forward to seeing how Buffy and Spike deal with the scoobs.

Oooooooooooo! Sometimes there is something so satisfying when Buffy stands up to Willow and Xander especially in the later seasons. I love the growth you have given Buffy in the past two chapters and how this situation has given her the opportunity to open up to Spike about how she feels not only about the people around her but herself. Love what you putting out there and cant wait for more.

Maybe being stuck in a vampire body makes you crazy or something really Xander. And been Xander makes you annoying as hell. 

I knew it! Buffy makes a perfectly valid point about him not knocking before he comes into her house and suddenly there is something wrong with her. How would he like it if they just started barging into his place all hours of the day and night with no warning. Anya would flip!

If Willow was so worried about Buffy patrolling in Spike's body why didn't she go with them instead of waiting at home? My guess. She was hoping Buffy would come back by herself so Willow could 'talk' to her.

I have a suggestion. Sell the damn house and Buffy and Dawn get a small two bedroom apartment! Don't give anyone else the keys, they would have to knock then! It would be cheaper for Buffy and she wouldn't have a freeloading friend mooching off her. Plus she wouldn't have grand central station running thru her place anymore!

Good for Buffy - and now I'm worried about what Willow and Xander might get up to. Good to get a lead on the three stooges...
