Oh I hope Xander realizes what he is doing wrong.
Xander is always going to be pulled two ways when it comes to Willow and Anya.

I'm having trouble with the internet, I keep losing th reviews, so I'm keeping it short and going to bed. Gotta love Spike's solution to the salesman. And thank god Dawn stood up to Willow, not that it will do any good. Great read T, thanks.

GO DAWNIE - that was in awesome rant that she did - I am glad that she set Willow straight/ I loved this chapter - the who whole protect Tara thing was awesome and Anya was great standing up for her beliefs - great chappie!
Thanks, honey!

Little Dawnie doesn't mince her words, and as for Anya, she has to know that if she lets Xander slide on this sort of stuff, then she sets a trend that'll end up with her looking like Xander's mom X years down the line. She has to make a stand for herself and for how she wants their marriage to work.

go dawnie...i'm so proud of her taking charge and telling willow what's what, coming to tara's and spike's defense like that....another excellent chapter, love...on to more :)
Thanks, honey!

There are times when Dawn is even more Joyce-like than Buffy.

very good read, thank you. loved anya and dawn sounding off and buffy's
"Okay. 'This is our family. Mess with them, deal with us.'"
Thanks!

As a previous reviewer commented, Anya has the right idea about marriage, but Xander is playing catch up all the time. And Dawn will say exactly what she thinks of a situation given half a chance.

Same height? Not even...funny for them to say, though. (Seen both people in person)

Wow, go Dawnie!!!! Quite a speech...too bad it won't sink in With Willow-Knows-It-All.

Loved the doggie shopping, too - hysterical! And I've done things similar to what Spike said in the jewelry store. It's so much fun to put snobs in their place.

Poor Tara's going to take a lot of reinforcement to feel that she belongs, and stuff. It really does take a while to counter 20 years of programming.

Anya's words with Xander were right on, too. She's really been getting the whole marriage thing, and the silly guy's constantly playing catch-up. I hope he realizes who's really on his side soon before he gets hurt again.
Have to say I didn't think so myself, but someone pointed out that in OAFA they did look pretty close. Maybe Amber was wearing high-heels.

Dawnie is pretty good at saying what she thinks. Glad all the shopping didn't bore you to tears. I think Spike'll do his best to ensure tara knows she belongs, and as for the Harrises, well there was never any doubt about which one had the brains in that family...

It seems the living arrangements are getting worked out satisfactorily, without Willow. Good for Dawn to get her unhindered go at Red. More story please.
Thanks!

Yep, everybody has a place where they belong, except for Willow. More tomorrow.

Dawn's eloquence just gets better and better - she laid into Willow good style there! Nohing she doesn't deserve.
Thanks, honey!

And can I say I'm relieved this is finally showing up in the unanswered reviews section. For some reason it wasn't earlier.

Dawn can be formidable when it comes to saying what she means, and thankfully, in this 'verse, it isn't aimed at Spike.
