At last Buffy has some hope, cryptic as it is, but she'll need it to cope with the endless overbearing, nosey-hole, interfering know all aspects of life with the Scoobies.  What a bunch.
Don't hold back, what do you really feel :-)?

So William didn't have all the memories, but now Buffy has an idea what to do, but have to figure out how. I can't blame the Scoobies for being so worried, with the way Buffy is acting, when you sees it from their point of view.

I had to think, while writing this, whether the story would suffer if the Scoobies knew. I ultimately decided it worked better with them in the dark, but it does make me think about how both sides are seeing things.

Gah!  This story just keeps getting better.  Can't wait until the next update.
Thanks so much. I will have the next chapter up ASAP.

Thanks for the update and for some Spuffy time. Poor William. That will be Buffy's fate if she doesn't get to him I think. Very sad.
Don't worry, I won't let William suffer forever...

   Excellent chapter.   I had been kind of wondering, why not just tell them?  Why not.  You explained it perfectly here.  The funny thing is, it's not anything I didn't know.  I just didn't care enough about the backround characters to put myself in their place.
  That is a good thing I think.  This is after all, not really an ensemble piece.  This is at it's heart a Buffy piece no? Buffy and Spike maybe in the end, but in this alternate Sunnydaye it is an all Buffy story.

  You have me missing the obvious and I love that.  I guess it just shows how completely engrossed I am.  Awesome job.
Thank you sooo much for the kind review. It has turned out to be a Buffy piece, which is weird for me, because I tend to focus more on Spike's POV most of the time. But I am glad to have you engrossed, and will try to pick up the pace on the postings!

I was thinking what if Halfrek just happened to show up as a friend of Anya's to help her as she's close to birth.   She would have knowledge of both realities as Anya did when she was a vengeance demon.   Could she be a means to get Buffy down stream?
I had something else in mind, although that certainly would have been easier!

Poor William, the memory of her kept him all alone. Who could compete with Dream Buffy? He got turned? It really was all about Riley. What he wanted, what he needed, how he felt. Save me from clingy men. Buffy's going to find her man one way or another! YAY I think she has the right idea though about not telling them what is really going on. They, especially Riley, would have her back in the loony bin in a heart beat. His jealously and insecurities would have him convinced that something was wrong with her. Willow can't be trusted with Magic. She's proved that over and over again. Letting her know what's going on would be a mistake of monumental proportions. Friend or not she'd try to fix it and probably wind up taking all of Buffy's memories turning her into a zombie.
Yeah, I don't think the Scoobies need to know all these details, and the next chapter will probably cement that even firmer.

Soooo, back to the past, it's not gonna be easy without a powerful witch, or maybe a vengeance demon. Well at least she's got a plan now, way to go. Super update.

Thanks so much! The plan will get even more convoluted before the end though.

(pardon if this idea has been raised before) It has occurred to me in the past that the whole plan to get rid of Angelus before he was Angelus might have been attributed to the wrong group - wasn't Wolfram and Hart trying to get rid of him? Could Buffy and Spike have played into their hands?

In any case, I wait with bated breath, on the edge of my seat, in antici...(wait for it)...pation, etc., for each chapter. I do think that Buffy's mistrust is making her own life harder for her, but I really look forward to the continuation of this story. Each chapter is deliciously teasing but, like eating bubbles, leaving me begging for more. Seriously. More please!
LOL, love the Rocky Horror reference. I'm working on more, I don't want the anticipation to become fatal.

I'm so glad we got a little Spike in this chapter.  I've certainly missed him.  I wish Buffy would tell the Scoobies what's going on but it is what it is.  I'm really enjoying this so far.
I am so glad you're enjoying it! More coming soon!
