As unholy alliances went, she could have done a lot worse.

My thought, exactly!  And I'm still really enjoying this story.
Buffy made a good deal in the end, LOL.  I'm glad you're still enjoying it!

Oh man! Loved the end portion with the prophecy and all that. Wonder if Buffy will tell Giles that she knows what it's talking about. Probably not. Or at least, not right away. Adored the cute wrestling scene. And the scene with Spike threatening Giles was fabulous as well. Magnificent chapter!

Thank you!  Yeah, Buffy won't exactly be sharing the prophecy with Giles.  I'm glad you liked the wrestling scene, and how Spike threatened Giles.  Thanks for reviewing!

Bring on the unholy alliance!  Yup that's a prophecy all right....it sounds bad on paper but is oh so good in reality.

LOVED the tension (and you made the reader FEEL it) when Spike made his point to Giles.  I knew he wouldn't just let that go.  That was utterly perfect.  No threat at all but very threatening at the same time.  “He made me get them and count his change back.”

“Gee, it sort of sounds like he bought some candles.”
Too perfect for words.

This is still vastly entertaining and so very well written.  Loved it.

Yes, prophecies are tricky.  :)   They sound like one thing and end up being entirely another.  Although, a Slayer making a blood deal with a notorious vampire is rather unholy by definition, LOL.

I'm glad you liked the bit with Spike and Giles.  Yes, Spike couldn't pass up saying something to Giles.  I had fun writing this scene because I wanted Spike to be intimidating and chilling without actually vamping out or issuing some blatant threat.

Thanks for reviewing!

Ohhh, very interesting. Very nice threatening by Spike there, scary but subtle.
Thank you!  I'm glad you liked it!

Rats!  I'd checked the website 3  times already today watching for the next chapter and found it shortly after you put it up, but I still didn't get to be the first to post a review.  See how your devoted fans haunt the site in eager anticipation? Loved your dialogue with Oz.  I laughed at the line that Buffy said all vampires look alike and Spike glared.  Intrigued by the new events with Angelus.  I'm glad Spike disturbed Giles with his attitude while buying candles--I knew Spike wouldn't pass up a chance to "protect" Buffy.  Super chap as always!
Thank you so much!  I'm glad you liked it, and sorry to keep you waiting!  I think all the vampires on Buffy do look alike, LOL.  Only the fanged four got really individual vamp makeup.  Yeah, Spike couldn't resist saying a little something to Giles (even if the threatening was in what he didn't say).  More Angelus coming soon!  Thanks for reviewing!

“I like it,” Oz said. “It’s not subtle.”

Oh, but Oz is, the dear!

Very nice. I like the wrestling, everybody sniping at Giles (who got off lightly), and particularly that sweet unholy alliance. How nice for Buffy to know that it's going to pay off, if the "never wrong" book isn't wrong!
Thank you!  I'm glad you liked it!  Yes, Buffy made a deal that will turn out very well for her.  She got Spike to teach her, and you know he'll be watching her back forever, so she's got good reason that she'll end up as the longest lived Slayer.  Thanks for reviewing!

great chapter, Spike was just a genius and I'd like to know more about this prophecy.
Thank you!  I'm glad you liked it!
