Yes, they have to come back now so Spike can bite Buffy. And, could someone smack Dawn, please?
Yeah, I'm getting tired of human Spike, so they're coming home soon ...

red is true to form. good read, thank you.
Thanks. Sadly, I think Willow is still trying to fix things that aren't broken.

Another good chapter although I am getting anxious for Buffy and Spike. These two should be able to heed changes in their environment and wonder about it because after all There's No Such Thing as a Free Lunch!
Exactly! It just can't last. Glad you're enjoying.

EEK! Spike not coming abck through the portal? Willow thought Buffy was upset when she ripped her our of heaven the FIRST time!
By the way - can I buy a bottle of "instant sun?" Please? I'm tired of battling the snowdrifts in upstate NY!
LOL - I hear you! Pennsylania is a mess, too. And yeah, Willow will never learn ... but I think that Buffy just might.

Love this story and the romantic getaway theme... Can't wait to see what happens next for Buffy and Spike. Sad to think that they can't stay that way for a little while longer, sigh...
Eagerly awaiting your next chapter!
Thanks, Pufles. It is tempting to leave them there for another few months - maybe write a few chapters about typical island activities for tourists like "Jet Ski Whee" and "Snorkel Schmorkel" and, of course, the original rhyming couplet of ResortLand, "Booze Cruise." But alas, the plot must go on ...

Sweet!
Thanks!

Uh oh, Buffy's thoughts don't bode very well for Spike. But I do think she will atleast try to get him back if the spell doesn't bring him with her. I hope. Looking forward to more.
Thanks, Jessica. And I don't think I can let Buffy abandon Spike ... not when she's just found out how oh-so-very talented he is! ;)

Just friends? Wow, but will Spike be satisfied as "friends with benefits?" Of course Willow's not worried about Spike. Hope he's "holding on tight" to her when they pull her out, so he'll have to "come" along too! He! he! Thank you for posting so often. Really enjoying your fic.
Thanks, Verda! So glad you're reading. And I cna't decide how Spike will feel about Buffy's FWB idea, but I think we all know there's more than simple friendship here ...

willow annoys me.. she really does.. anyhoo.. lovely chapter :D
I can't make up my mind about Willow, but I find her the best accidental villain in the 'verse. So sure she's doing the right thing ... Glad you're enjoying.

Playing catch up. Nice chapters...it is nice to see them growing closer. Very sweet.

Grrr... I'm sure there will be hell to pay if Willow leaves Spike behind.
Thanks - and yeah, grrr! to Willow. I keep thinking that the gang really ought to ease up on Spike during S6 - I mean, hello? Stole a camper, stood up to a Hell God?

Guh......Buffy comes back and they leave Spike! I think Buffy won't stand for that. Friends huh? The only girl in the world who can be on a tropical island AND and Egyptian river at the same time.

LOVE thew romance, the peace for our favorite couple.

Excellent

Kathleen
ROFL at "tropical island and Egyptian river" - and this is problematic because I'm sitting in a coffee shop! Glad you're enjoying it.

damm scoobies are gonna screw everything up !
Well, yeah ... IMHO, if they weren't so anti-Spike, he and Buffy might've had a better relationship ... maybe.

02/15/2007 08:24 pm
They have to let Spike come back too!
Of course they do! I'll go talk to Willow right now ... but if all else fails, I trust Buffy to do the right thing by our guy. At least in this story. ;)

Uh oh - Spike won't come back with her? That's not gonna make Buffy very happy....
I like the way you haven't turned them into instant soul-mates just because they've discovered that they can have fun together and that they like having sex. It will be interesting to see what happens to the budding relationship if/when they get back.
Well, Willow might not plan on rescuing Spike, but fortunately Willow's not sitting at my laptop. ;)
