I loved Buffy's reaction to finding out the chip was gone. It shows how much she has changed and how much she cares for Spike. I also loved her response when Spike said he got his soul for himself and not for her. What she had learned is a very important lesson in life.

nice.. very nice.. cant wait to read more!!!i hope they dont die..

this story is so very excellent...love the interaction between giles and spike in this chapter....very good...can't wait for your next update! :)

Good chapter. I hope that Giles and Spike can really work out a more understanding and trusting relationship. I look forward to whenever youa re able to update again.

WOW....This story is just WOW! I can't wait to see what happens next. :)

Oh yeah bloody good chapter :P

hmmm curiouser and curiouser! wonder what Spike will find out?

Nice update, Mef- started it awhile ago, but just now finishing it.So, Giles and Spike aregoing to have a truce now? Like the idea that Spike wants Giles to recognize his goodness before he knows about the soul.

good update to a fascinating fic. thanks

Wonderful story. I look forward to finding out what happens next.

Love it. More soon please.

Nice chapter ^.^

Hmmm! What's in the book? Interesting that they're getting ready for the First so soon. What price does Dawn have to pay? More story please.

very good...i love how Buffy's reaction to his chiplessness was so different than what he expected...she wasn't even worried about him hurting anyone, just about him...i love this update :)

Good chapter! But, now I have to wait again. Thanks for the update.

wow, this is a great story, i remember reading the first chapter a while back but then must have missed (or was out with crashed computer) the updates, but i love this 'new world' you set up and am anxious to see what 'payment' is going to have to be made!

good chapter, it's nice to see spike having people who believe in him.
