Your Ilona was hilariously over the top. She's so cliche Italian it makes me grin. Her aversion to all things Angel and The Immortal played out completely in Spike's favor, so maybe she'll be helpful in this new wrinkle, too.
Why has Willow thrown her lot in with the military?
So, the Buffy in Rome is the decoy this piece is named for. Spike's attack was brutal and swift, and I love he got the chance to take out The Immortal as well, even if only temporarily.
It's all very entertaining.

I had to rewatch "The girl in question" to get a feel of Ilona's character, and I got to enjoy the episode more after finding out in the comics that Italy Buffy was just a decoy. The first time around, I was so upset that she moved on so fast that I didn't realize how funny the episode--especially Ilona--was. I had a great time writing this woman. She's hilarious.

loved the read, thank you. it's a shame spike might need andrew for info, otherwise great opportunity to eliminate the waste of space.
Poor Andrew. I kinda like the little. He's annoying but cute. At least sometimes. I can rewrite the chapter and position Andrew between the Immortal and the window if you want ;)

Just a quick note in response to the point Melissa raised about the Buffy/XanderBot thing in issue 2. It's clear to me that it was part of the nightmare Buffy was having while under the drugs, not a real smoochie... we get her true fantasy later on... Buffy in a SexyNurse outfit sandwiched between a NakedSpike and a NakedAngel.
I'm relieved to know that :) I'm still buying the books, just not reading them. I'm planning to read them all at once. I find it frustrating to read them one at a time because it's such a quick read. And also, I don't want my story to be influenced by what happens in the books.

Excellent. I look forward to reading more.
Thank you. I'm working on it. It shouldn't been too long before the next update.

hmmm....so i'm guessing this is true to the comics, and buffy's actually in scotland? i hope he finds her soon....love your portrayal of the roman ceo....so cool!!! loved this chapter, love :)
Yes, she is. I only took a few things from the comics. I basically used the first one for inspiration, but that's it. Glad you enjoyed Ilona lol

OMG GREAT STORY so far!!! You have got to finish this. I have read the comics too except for this past issue I haven't gotten it yet. But you didn't include Ethan Rayne or Amy in this, how come? And you changed Willow. She was suppose to have been captured in the comics but doesn't she break free or something along those lines and fights with Amy? Ugghh I gotta re-read them. Thank god you didn't have the Xander smooching with Buffy good god ughhhhh. Oh please do hurry with this one. It is so close to what is actually a Season 8 but with A FANFIC perspective. I was actually very very upset and appalled at the comics. I don't get the whole you can't have Spike and even Angel in the comics. Doesn't make sense when they are all owned and written by the same Joss but apparently Fox owns them. Hmmm thats just weird. If they appear in the comics they are only on loan. Don't get it thats why I love these fanfics you can just play and play to your hearts content. What I was unsure of was isn't this the same type of military that Riley is in that was based at the hell mouth? Because if I recall the Initiative had all sorts of things on Buffy when they found out who she was. Im still confused on that part of your story. Thats why Im waiting for you to finish...heeheee I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the title because it was TOTALLY mentioned in the comics about that Buffy being a Decoy. BLOODY BRILLIANT!!!!! But I can't wait to hear Andrews explaination because at the end of Angel he was soooooo cryptic and led them to believe it was Buffy and then made that comment that someday she would choose one of them...But it also questioned this in you part of the story with Buffy dreaming and reminicing she thinks of him still dead so you are going the route that Andrew didn't tell Buffy about Spike? Or did Buffy plant the double because of just disappearing or will you have that addressed anytime soon? Oh god please finish Im soooo into this story because of your comment based on the comics. THANK YOUUUUUUUU for this!!!!! Great job so far keep it up!!!!!
I'm glad you're that excited by this story. There's a few things I need to clarify though, and I think I'm going to have to change my warning pronto.
This story is only inspired by the very first of the comic books. I don't even read it anymore because I'm too grossed out by the Xander/Buffy thing. Basically, I did what we used to do with new episodes: take the episode and run with it. It goes of canon right after the first comic book. I took Joss' decoy Italian Buffy idea, the army (which is NOT the Initiative, that's why they have nothing on Buffy) and that's pretty much it. Forget everything that happened with Willow and Ethan in the books, that's not what will happen in the fic. I'm sorry if it's confusing. Just forget about the comics. I'm taking this somewhere else. Because I don't have to have permision to use Spike ;) I hope this cleared things up a bit.

Good fight! Any chance the Immortal scumbag is permanantly damaged ? And what the Hell is Willow doing helping them find Buffy? Is trying to get the world's worst friend award..Again!
Nah. Sorry lol. But his ego is severely bruised though. :)
And Willow... Good little Willow ::shakes head:: Like I told someone else on another site who sounded upset by the "ohmygod, is Willow evil again?" angle, wait and see. It might not be what you think ;) Thanks for your review, Tamara

Great chapter. I'm glad Spike found out it's a decoy, and I kinda like Ilona, especially with the 'I spit on him' thing.
lol isn't she funny? :D I always thought she was nice to Angel only because he was the CEO of W&H in L.A. She did greet Spike first when she saw him, and gave Angel a goofy looking jacket when she gave Spike such a nice one. That says it all lol. I figured since Angel is not CEO of W&H anymore, she doesn't have to be nice to him anymore ;)

Good chapter.Update soon.I love that Spike knew right away that it wasn't Buffy.I'm one of those people who's been convinced that Spike's loved Buffy since the first time he saw her at The Bronze.
lol so am I ;) And I think that if Spike could follow Buffy's smell all the way to some random house in S7, he would know right away the woman standing in front of him wasn't the real Buffy in this situation. He just didn't get close enough to find out in The girl in question.
