Good twist - that would really create a problem for Spike = two Buffies both no doubt jealous as hell and fighting over him?

I loved Buffy's reply to Xander's comment about Spike having some kind of weird obsession with her lol. Good job, Buf. In your teeth, Xander. Good I hated the scoobies in season 6. They were so selfish. Willow was so smug and Xander so incredibly annoying and mean. Great chapter. I love the chemistry between Buffy and Spike. Well done.

Great twist on their conversation behind the store. This is going to be complicated. What are they going to do with two Buffy's. And this one likes our Spike. He has an unjaded Buffy, one that he has a chance with. "Torn" is just what he's going to be, between them, if they get the other one back. Great work, thanks.

this fic is great...hurry and finish so I can read it!! hehe

This story is really going nicely - I have always had an issue with Willow, and think that you are capturing the characters so well! Can't wait for the next installment.

Best wishes, Cheryl

I'm ready to smack both Xander and Willow on this one... could they be bigger jerks???

Great chapter btw!!!!! :)

never followed red's logic that buffy was in a hell dimension. "our buffy," red knows how to treat people. very good read, thanks.

So happy this Buffy can still see the truth before her. Xander and Willow won't manipulate her as easily this time. Dawn and she will be closer too since they are pretty much of an age. She'll need even more help than the regular Buffy though with all that responsibility on her 15/16 year old shoulders......she needs Giles and Spike badly and I hope she knows it!

Lovely update.

I love how S1 Buffy called out Xander weird obsession with her to defend Spike. No one has ever done that before in fan fic's. I just can't wait for chapter 5.

gosh, willow, get a clue! she's just going to go screw things up worse now!!! and pull buffy out of heaven and all that...or maybe....maybe she won't, and older!buffy can stay in heaven, and younger buffy can stay with spike! there! :) problem solved..

oh wait...not my story...er....

please go on :)

I like how young Buffy really sees the Scoobies. Great update.

If Buffy were smart, she'd get rid of Willow and Xander and keep the rest of her friends. Then again, when has Buffy ever been smart? Excellent Scoobie characterization and good writing of a younger, less hard Buffy.

Spike's always the one to tell her the truth, even if she won't wanna hear it. It's gonna be fun. S1 Buffy isn't as conditioned to let her friends rule her life as S6 Buffy was...

"Our Buffy"!!! Oh my, I can see that Willow is going to mostly likely rejest the Buffy that they brought back as not 'their' Buffy. This has the potential to be really messy and involving a lot of screaming. Great story - thanks!

oh good goddes, willow *smacks the stupid bitch*

Uh oh, bet Willow's going to cause even more trouble. Love the tender moment between Buffy and Spike, very well done. Spike's never been around such an open and honest Buffy before, one that hasn't been completely jaded by a broken heart. Love it so far.

Wonderful chapter! Keep up the amazing work!!

Willow is teetering on the edge. That much power is far too dangerous nad unstable, and the redhead clearly shows she has control issues. It's cool to see Buffy's reaction to her friends, not having been around for the slow changes and subtle differences adn explaining away new prejudices and hates. Buffy has a more open outlook on who they are now, and I can see Spike being fair to the ones who treat him like dirt.
I can't wait to see shy Buffy reacting to someone loving her with everything they are, real love, not like Angel's infatuation or obsession with her on a pedestal. Spike doesn't have a soul but even his demon is caring and that makes him far more unique than a monster with a curse if you ask me! Next chapter having the Dawn-Spike family welcoming Buffy? Please? I have to read more!

Oh no! That idiot Willow is going to try again. Which Buffy is Spike going to get to keep? Teen Buffy or Mature Buffy?

Lovely Buffy and Spike interaction - but what's with Willow? I see badness.
