  Good god I hate the trio.  I just found nothing funny about them. And without the funny they were just three spoiled idiots running aroundsomehow being stupidly effective. And then only effective because the Scoobies literally let them run away from them while giving no chase.  How hard would it have been to run them down anytime they were close.  Gah! I'm sorry, they're just a huge sore spot.

So sad that everyone is moving away from Agnes when its the time they need her wise advice the most! I hope they find their way back to her and some disasters can be averted!
 I'm hoping her presence might make some of he disasters less so, but not holding my breath!  She's only human - well, not really, but you know what I mean!

Should be interesting to see how the new developments effect Aggie's life. I mean will she catch Dawn shoplifting? Will she see Andrew and his cohorts around the museum before the guard is frozen and the diamond stolen? Will she interact with the severly depressed Slayer? Will she cater Anya's wedding? Can't wait to find out where things go from here!  I also got a chuckle out of Aggie's remark about Hans Solo... lol! And as always learning more about Aggie's past is wonderful. Good update!
 All valid points.  In the meantime, I am worrying about having to do whole chapter in song!  How do you reckon I can manage that?   And sooner or later, Agnes is going to have to tell us exactly what did happen in Hollywood!

What a lovely chapter!  Dawn broke my heart, and poor stupid Andrew.  I love Agnes.
 Glad you enjoyed it and July is coming closer!   Looking forward to seeing you there.

Poor Agnes - all her teen friends are deserting her. 

They did make wonderful weapons and, of course, didn’t harm the environment when they smashed to pieces on someone’s forehead.  - LOL
 And she hasn't seen Spike for ages because he's lurking around the Slayer!   Things are going to get awkward.

First Dawn, and then Andrew, both so poignant.  Masterful Agnes too - fat rascals, warm from oven.........heaven.
 Yes, Buffy's return has really altered Agnes' life and not for the better. But she's fairly resilient.  I'm hoping she'll cope OK!    And Fat Rascals - mmmmmm.

Oh poor Agnes. Forgotten by everyone. Dawn will miss her when she realises that happy times with Buffy are not in fact on the horizon.
 Yes, I think that is true.  Poor Dawn.  All her hopes and dreams about to be ruined.   Thank you for reading.

Oh how perfect...I hadn't thought that Aggie was how Andrew learned to cook (silly me!)  It makes perfect sense!

Too bad Buffy can't meet Aggie in a way that is neutral and cry pax.  She would be better off working for Aggie than at the Doublemeat!

Poor Agnes AND Dawn....they've been close and now are losing each other.  We all know that the happy times Dawn anticipates are not coming so she is going to be sadly disappointed.

Maybe Aggie can make S6 better!  I really hope so.

Excellent....I've missed our girl.  Glad you've felt up to writing again.

 Well, Andrew had to learn to cook somewhere!   Will our girl make Season Six better?  Well, I think she might stop it from being worse!   We'll see.    

Yes, it's taken me a while to get back to writing regularly.  I felt so rotten it was hard to concentrate.  And, strangely, Agnes has been hardest of all to update.  But that might be because lurking just over the horizon is OMWF and that is causing me to lie awake at nights!

Dawn has awfully high expectations of Buffy's friends. I think the only one who even helped around the house was Tara.

 I know a lot of people (well mostly everyone!) hated Dawn for whining all the way through Season Six, but when you sit back and examine life from her point of view, she does have some justification.  Apart from being a teenager,  her sister is back from the dead and all her expectations of what life is now going to be like are shattered almost immediately.  Dawn and Season Six are a prize example of never wish for something, you might get it!

Agnes is being very charitable not to resent Buffy for having such a strong gravitational pull on practically all of Agnes' acquaintances. Of course, there are other rmachinations working to disrupt the usual calm Sunnydale summer. I fear for Anges' china collection.
 I fear for Agnes throughout the whole of this summer!  She'll need all her common-sense to survive - not physically, but emotionally.
