You go Dawnie!

And Hell Yes!

Make he pay in the most painful way possible.

very good update, thank you. maybe dawn should take charge?

Geesh I'm still worried about this plan but can't wait to see it play out. I never thought I'd be so happy to have Angel around as I am here. He won't sit by and give Xander any breaks (maybe a few broken body parts but that's okay).

Part of me wants Xander dead, slow painful death. Then I remember the old rule of the punishment not exceeding the crime and happily settle for months of torture and possible brain damage and smile a smug smile of the righteous.

Poor Spike so worried about Buffy and Dawn and then feeling so guilty (who needs a soul for that, Spike never did)thinking he had endangered them all along.

Oh yeah, Xander must pay.

Excellent as always,

Kathleen

How come I don't completely believe her that Spike agreed? I have a bad feeling about this. I just hope that everything that they have worked on so far with Spike, both the relearning of things and the trust, doesn't suffer any. Looking forward to more.

Ooooo, getting better. I like how Buffy leet Spike know she knew about Xander and how Spike realized by not telling in the first place it took longer for them to figure out who did this. I wonder what he and Angel are going to do. Not dirty, I mean in ways of bonding sire to child. Can't wait for more.

I( am glad that Spike told Buffy everything but I hope that he won't get hurt in this plan. It would be so not of the good. I think that Spike has suffered enough.

Get him! I'm generally not for revenge, but Xander's proven that he's capable of horrible things. I'm really enjoying the story and eagerly anticipate the next chapter.

The total creepiness that is Xander - ewww. Can't wait for Xander to get his butt kicked.

Yeah, they really have to be prepared for Xander to act like a cornered animal once he's confronted with this. he'd going to panic, lose his cool, and it'll either be "fight or flight". And someone will get in the way. It's just the odds.

Thanks for the update! As per usual, you leave me wanting more!

Oh, I can't wait for the showdown!

Oh wow! I really didn't think that Spike would be ok with the plan. I hope Xander does pay dearly, but I don't think I want to see Buffy kill him....I don't think she would be able to deal with that. Or Dawn for that matter. Great chapter !!

fabulous, again...and as always, please update soon, I can't get enough of this story. thanks.

Finally, Spike admits it! I'm sure Buffy and Dawn are proud of him for this show of strength as well as his bravery for agreeing to the plan. I just things work out for them; I don't think I can bear much more Spike torture.

Another wonderful chapter. Bravo!

Ohhh... ya know 2 updates in 1 day would be a lovely present for us!!! hahaha loved this chapter... cannot wait for the plan to go ahead and see what happens! It's ok if there isn't another update, Im just happy this story is progressing so well!! Excellent work!

Phew -- it's a relief that he's been able to come clean. Can't wait for the plan!

I'm glad Spike told Buffy the whole truth about how Xander was makign him keep quiet about the abuse. It's good that they will go into the situation prepared for all possibilities, since I think Xander would try and harm them once he knows they know. Xander had better watch out for Dawn, since she seems more ready to attack than Buffy does in this moment. Interesting that Spike was awed by Angel's presence and that Buffy was jealous of Spike's innate response to his sire

Well its about damn time this all got out in the open, lol. Great chapter. I'm looking forward to seeing Spike's interaction with Angel. That happening any time soon?

Great chapter! Xander should be very afraid of Dawnie, love the progress in the story.

oh MAN! Thank you!

I am so excited for the next Chapter!!!!!!

Please! What's the plan?! This is worse than not knowing who did it!
And - IDIOT Buffy! I was willing to give her the benefit of the doubt until now - she needed to know that it was Xander. But Spike just TOLD her - what more proof does she need??? Come ON!! Why does she need to go through with this plan when she has just been told, in no uncertain terms, who hurt Spike? It just doesn't make any sense _at all_.

....and then Custard said, "Forward men!"

*Plays a Taps on a Bugle*

This will not end well at all.

YESSSS! Ooh, perhaps Angel will get to beat him some too? I believe I would enjoy reading that ^__^
Great chapter!

yay! spike told *happy dance*
poor spike is so lost and afraid, I just want to give him a hug...

I can't wait to see Anya's reaction to all of this, I hope she does alot of damage to Xander.

Great chapter, thanks for the speedy updates! :)

woot woot!! yay, im excited! Xander bash-age! Hehe *again, does happy dance! lol*

I'm right there with Buffy. Make Xander pay.
Great chapter.

Is it tomorrow yet?

Yes! make him pay, that's what we all want. Can't way to see just what they have in mind for him and what will Anya think about this. I'd sure find the gun first, just in case he still might carry out his threat. So happy that Spike understands that he's safe and that everything's out in the open. Dawn's got that scarey thing going for her and I say good for her! Thanks DOS for the update. Fabulous chapter.

Still don't like this plan....really feel uneasy about it.

About time Angel and Spike get some time together. I'm really interested in what Angel would say/do for teaching, or whatever.

Poor Spike....these levels of subterfuge are beyong him still, so he can't help but feel that he's always screwing up. He doesn't know how to tell that people are lying or deliberately trying to trick him. His mind is still to childish not to accept all statements as facts.

yay xanders in trouble, bout time cant wait till find out your ideas on pyback, so glad angel got timw with spike, he can be good when done in charector right and i'm liking what yourve done. it might be nice if angel and buffy feeds sire and slayers blood to spike it would be a really touching seen any ways just an idea hope to get an update soon

I'm hoping that Angel will be able to help Spike regain more of himself. I know this is a sideline, but I can't help but be curious about how the vampires relationship will go with a childe who regards Angel with "wonder and awe" rather than Angelus with jealousy and contempt.
