Poor Buffy, everything hitting her all at once like that. Glad she finally told her mom.
*pets Buffy*

I am so glad Joyce finally believes her.

Very glad that Joyce is listening now. Liked that she wanted to keep Spike's shirt. And Xander's still a little perv. Excellent chapter, can't wait to read more when I should be in bed. Thanks for sharing.
Hee! Sorry to keep you up, but I'm so glad you're liking it.

I never bought Joyce's complete and total ignorance of the goings-on in her daughter's life. Didn't she do laundry? How the hell did she explain the wear and tear on Buffy's clothes?

I love how you have her breaking down in the bathroom.
Thanks - I figured it had to hit her sooner or later, and at home with her mother to comfort her seemed the appropriate time and place. Yes, for all her wonderful qualities, Joyce was blind as a bat for much too long.

Great way to introduce Joyce into the world of slaying - very believable - I am enjoying it very much
Goody! I'm glad you like. I see you have done a lot of reading all at one time. LOL You may get nothing but smilies for the rest of the chapters.

Glad her mom is opening up a bit to the idea of vampires. Can't really explain any of this without that part. And Buffy, really handling this all very well. Great chapter.
Thanks - I hope you continue to enjoy

Yes, let that jackass Giles do the explaining. he's good at flapping his mouth. Interesting story slayme, in a dark, angsty sort of way.
not as dark an angsty as the prequel, but definitely not a fluffy spuffy story...

After everything she has gone through and she still has to take major steps to get her mom to listen about demons, I can see how it would be easier to believe that my daughter is crazy then to believe in the supernatural (sarcasm intended) :P. I am glad that Buffy is finally able to tell her mom everything and that she has proof to back up her claims.
Nothing like having your much smaller daughter lift you up in the air and hold you there to get your attention...lol

Great beginning! Gotta feel for Joyce ... that's a boatload of disbelief she has to set aside *G*. Really have looked forward to this sequel (The original was superb). No disappointments. Oily, slimy Xander to even toy with the desire to see Buffy nakid at this point though!!

Xander isn't in this one very much - but he's pretty much a slimy jerk all the way.

Great chapter. Again. LOL
LOL - Thanks for the heads up on the messed up italics. All fixed now and new chapter is up.

It's the blinkers again and Joyce's are enormous. Nice
t-shirt thoughts for Buffy.
I think she's going to lose them - you can only shut out so much before you begin to feel like an idiot. lol Yeah, in my Buffyverse, she can appreciate it when he's nice to her.

Nope, she's pretty much getting her face shoved in it this time. :-)
