Hooray for Agnes!  This makes sense to me.  As a morbid little kid, I wondered how the heck one could dig themselves out of a grave, even with slayer strength waking up and managing to dig out from under after first bashing her way through wouldn't leave much time to breathe. Agnes really has a way of fixing the plot holes! Kudos!
 Exactly!  Impossible, I always thought, to awaken from death in a weakened state - even being a Slayer - and get out of a solid wooden coffin and tons of earth!  Glad Agnes was there to help.

I love your Agnes more with every new chapter - wonderful update, poignant and within all that loss of their beloved Buffy, love amongst these three left behind is such a postive life force. 

Wonderful to have an update before my trip -
 Thank you so much for taking the time to read and review again. Much appreciated.  Glad you liked this chapter.  Poor Agnes, she disliked Buffy so much and I'm not sure how she'll feel when she realises she helped her in a little way with her resurection!

Have a good trip.  I will probably not update again for a few days.

“You – are – not – going – to – drip – mess – all – over – this – dead – girl!”

Classic Agnes. This is wonderful, as always.
 Thank you. So pleased you enjoyed this chapter.  Agnes really does hate mess!

Hearing Dawn blame herself for Buffys death was so sad. Then hearing that Xander and Willow blamed her also made me angry. Thank goodness Agnes was there to sooth her down. Thank goodness Spike was there to take her home. It's so sad how they both blamed themselves for a death that wasn't their fault.

Agnes the hero? Well, in this case, pretty much. I don't think either Dawn or Spike would have ever been able to survive it if Buffys body had been carried off.

(I'm kind of thinking that the weakening of the coffin lid might be important at the end of a 147 days???)

Excellent chapter!!!
 I think it is only "human" for people to look for someone to blame in situations like this and I think Dawn would have felt the silent disapproval very strongly.  And yes, the weak coffin lid could be useful! Agnes will be so upset!

What a lovely touch about the coffin lid!  I love how you've made Agnes such a vital part of the story - without her or anyone else even realizing!
 Thank you!  Delighted that you enjoyed the coffin escapade.  Agnes is going to have a busy few weeks ahead of her. I'll try and post more of her adventures soon.

I had to chuckle at this one.  Now we know why Buffy had such an "easy" time getting out of her coffin.  This has been just a delightful tale.
 Hi, yes, I have always been worried by the ease of her exit!  And Agnes will be so upset if she ever knows it was all her fault!

Stout-hearted Agnes - she's the wrong person to mess with when she's riled!  Lovely chapter.
 Yes, indeed.  Timid as a mouse and brave as a lion, that's my Agnes.  So pleased you are still enjoying the story.

This chapter was so sad. :( I'm glad Aggie was there for Dawn, Spike too. And I continue to enjoy how you flesh out Aggie's personality, one moment filled with sadness that Buffy passed so young, then revolted that Spike would want to kiss a Slayer.
Aggie's fight scene was great too, should be easier now for Buffy to escape her grave. Wonderful update!

P.S. The new update didn't show on the recently updated page for me either, I had to click on your name to find it... but who knows by the time you read this it might be all fixed. :)
 Oh,  I am so glad to hear from you.  I am seriously concerned that "Aggie's Army" will miss the updates on this site as it refuses to appear in the updated box!  I think I shall have to collect all the readers names so I can e mail them if this happens again!

Anyway, glad you enjoyed the chapter, Irina.  It was a difficult one to write because Agnes' feelings about Buffy are so mixed - one second human, the next pure vampire.

And I always felt Buffy got out of that coffin very easily!  Now we know how she did it!
