Pssst! You've posted chapter four twice, and I presume that it is becuase of this that you have titled chapter five as chapter six. ... And here I was, seeing you had a sixth chapterm thinking that I found new goodies. .Ah, well... I guess I'll have to be patient just like the rest :P
Hi, yes, sorry but I can’t seem to make the site edit the duplicated chapter out! Hope it didn’t spoil your enjoyment of the latest chapter which is The Girlfriend. Am working on next one and hope to have it up next week but must update a few wips too!

Poor Agnes really is sweetly naive in a lot of ways. She is helping Spike, just not in the way she thinks. I really hope she doesn't get to infatuated with him because he's clearly a goner for the Slayer.
Hmm, I think Agnes has enough sense to know that Spike is not for her. But she still likes him enough to interfere in his life!

"becoming a vampire had opened her eyes to a world where core values could get neglected if you didn’t concentrate on them.

I ADORE Aggie!!!!!!

Love how you have woven this into canon with Spike finding out about Riley's nasty "habits" this way. Perfect!!!!!

I always felt what Riley did to Sandy was one of those things I never could forgive him for. Sandy had backed off nicely when she had tried to interest him before and wasn't rampaging. He lured her and killed her without any reason I could see. I still fume! That and staking Spike did it for me where Mr. Finn is concerned.

I really love this story so very much. It is unique and wonderful.

I am so thrilled that you are enjoying the story of Agnes Pringle so much. She is a joy to write especially as I have always felt that there had to be other vampires out there who weren’t all horrific and plain stupid. But she is still a vampire and I think that might lead to complications with a certain Slayer.....

Aww.. poor Spike missing out on the donuts, but on the plus side he learned Riley's nasty little secret. ;) Loved the Agnes/Spike interaction. Great chapter! :)
Yes, Agnes has certainly spoilt Riley’s plan. Glad you are enjoying the story!

thank you so much.

And all the time he was – well! ROFLMAO - this is just perfect. Agnes is a terrific character. Loved her telling Spike not to blaspheme.

I think you need a sweets glossary for us Americans. Eccles cake? Vienna Twirls? PG Tips?
Thank you for review. Yes, Agnes doesn’t hold with blaspheming! Sorry about the cakes. I must admit I didn’t consider the language problem where pastries are concerned. PG Tips is a type of tea. Eccles cakes are made from puffy pastry and stuffed with currants, Vienna Twirls are two small pieces of very sweet shortbread, sandwiched with jam, dusted with icing sugar with the top piece swirled up into a pointed - well, swirl!

Do so love Agnes! One of the most original original characters. Though we never did see how/if her potion worked. Also, do you list somewhere the quote that inspired the character? I'd like to know what you are referring to, but I'm too lazy to go look for it. Thanks for writing.
Well, the potion part will come into the next chp again! And the quote comes from Spike in The Replacement. When the Scoobies ask Spike what he is doing in the dump, he replies, “There’s a nice lady vampire who set up a charming tea room over the next pile of crap!“
Obviously being sarcastic, but what if he wasn’t......?

This is such a great story - kind of puts my head on sideways, but I like it. Agnes is a wonderful OC.
Sorry for the sideways head! But pleased you are enjoying the story.

So Agnes is the one that told the tale..on Riley.

BTW.. I believe this is posted twice.

enjoying
thank you and yes, twice. Agnes told Spike about Riley’s nasty little habit and yes, it is posted twice and I’m not sure how to delete one of them!

OH so now we get to see what happens to Riley.
Well, Spike had to learn about Riley from someone!

I continue to love this slant on the goings on in Sunnydale. I will be terribly sad if anything happens to Agnes. What a really delightful original character! Thanks!
thank you so much. glad you are enjoying Agnes’ adventures.
