I will apologize up front for reviewing almost every chapter in succesion.
So...their first meeting is much as I'd expect.  The enmity, fueled by events already past.  Though I wonder what cultural revolution made Spike revert to his natural color...

LOL at Spike with loafers.

This is REALLY good. I really like this. :)

Although Spike in a suit and with dark hair is kindof wiggy.

Damn! thirty years? Wow, Giles is very old, middle aged Willow and Xander, what about Dawn? Got tokeep reading? Fantasic chapter.

I like this story

whoa! 30 years!

Holy shit! That was so intense. Love, love, love it. I can only imagine what it must be like to think you've been gone a few hours and find out it was thirty years.

OMG _ 30 years! Well that actually is not to bad after all I thought it might be more. Can;t wait to find out more!

very good read and a great setup for the last line. thanks for the fine read.

Holy moly!! V. exciting. So it's not a parallel universe!

O come on! Its getten good here. But it, it stoped! Wheres the next page? I, I need more. PLEASE! Need, need more, I need.....

Please update soon and stop my emotional melt down.

*again with the eyes bulging out* this just gets better and better!!! does he believe her now??

30 years...thanks for the clarification. Knew this was some time in the future.

Yay, Spike believes that it's her...now, there's a lot of talking to do. Very believable reunion between the two. Buffy's going to be very upset at missing 30 years...Dawn would be a middle-aged woman now. And Giles would be ancient, if he's still alive.

But hey, there's nothing she and Spike can't solve when they're working together as a team. The Shadow Men wanted her to see all this for a reason.

Very neat concept, and I'm glad to get at least some of the explanation for what is happening. Looking forward to seeing what happens next!

This is an unexpected development. I was thinking it was an alternate universe.

OH HOLY SHITE!! I thought it was just gonna be an alternate universe. U surprized me there...gracias!

oh my God....that's kind of what i suspected...your dialogue between these two is awesome...flawless...i loved this chapter...especially these couple of bits...

--In fact he had probably thought she was the First at…first.-- simple but priceless

--“Am too!” She riposted. “I think I know better that I am her than you know that I am not her, her being me with me being Buffy is her…she…I? What?”--classic Buffy-speak....love it!! can't wait for the next chapter, this is so my current addiction-fic :)

I just want to scream MORE! so bad. LOL I can't though cause you have been so great about updating really fast, but I absolutely love this fic so far.

Okay - now you've gone and shocked a comment out of me. And a demand for more fic. Now, please? **holds out bowl**

wonderful chapter.

Wheeeee I was RIGHT (that doesn't happen often so forgive the shouting). What a great twist. Love this story and actually love this new world so far. Can't wait to see how Spike pullys Buffy's fat from the fire.

This chapter was priceless. Priceless, i tell you!! Good stuff.
