That was so funny! First Buffy making Spike think that Joyce was going to ground him, but loved the mangled Manillow. Glad that you had Buffy hear it. And what's Whistler gonna do? Funny chapter.
You think Joyce wouldn't?

*gags*
yes, Angel does have that effect
Fred05/11/2006 03:57 am
that was the funniest lyric change I've ever seen! Good one.
Thank you...I hope Barry feels the same way!
Delicia05/08/2006 04:09 pm
Great chapter! Spike certainly knows how to diffuse Joyce's anger. Angel's lyrics are disturbing to say the least!
Poor Barry would not be happy
Isabel04/30/2006 06:30 pm
You really crack me up lol. Those lyrics were so funny. Go you
Thank you, Barry Manilow would not be so happy with me

Cassie04/14/2006 02:49 am

LOL...I did apologise

I just started to read this story today and all I can say is that I love it, really love it.

You are such a great writer and I share your concept of Angel just being an old man with the likes of young girls, pedophile much? He's just gross and I love your approach.

And OMG his Mandy version . . . EWW.

Please keep it up and thank you for gifting us with such great stories.

Ash.
What a lovely review...thank you sooo much
sirc04/11/2006 02:12 pm

Thank you

The idea of Joyce grounding a 100+ year old vampire just plain funny
bet he didn't think so! LOL
fallen_angel04/11/2006 11:19 am
reading Angel singing is better than hearing him singing cos we know he is a horrible singer*remembers 'Mandy' and shudders* Poor willow and xander.
and Buffy...don't forget she was there and even the Buffy that wasn't there had to suffer through it! LOL
MarzBar04/11/2006 10:26 am
Ewwww is right. I'm looking forward to the fully Scooby meeting.
I will come! soon...?
Shadow04/11/2006 09:16 am
I match the EWWWWWWWW from the scoobies and raise you a BLECH.

Angel singage is sooo not of the good... and singing about "having"
an underage girl...

*sharpens the knife* PLEASE lemme castrate him? *begs*

Great chapter love.
I'll match your BLECH and raise you a LURGE....and NO! I still need him.
Karyn04/11/2006 09:04 am
rofl!! i just love it!!! *shudders @ angel singing* i'd have to say eewwww!, too!
But I wrote it just for you Karyn! (Jack pouts...then grins)
Irina04/11/2006 08:43 am
Awww... How sweet, I liked how all Spike had to do was give Joyce the puppy dog eyes and she melted. I loved Buffy's reaction to Angel's singing. I think Jenny makes a great addition to the team, i'm glad they let her in on the situation. I'm really looking forward to the teen Scoobies reactions to future Buffy and Spike. Wonderful chapter!
Thank you...It's gonna be a ride!
Lou04/11/2006 08:01 am
Only just caught up with this one - but what a blast! Angel is seriously funny.
Damn...I was going for seriously creepy!
Athenewolfe04/11/2006 07:59 am
LMAO - good update sweetie, sorry I haven't been able to chat lately - evils of timezones. I love this update - really quite fab and the lyrics - LMAO
I miss you!...and thanks for the review lol
letitia04/11/2006 07:51 am
oh, Joyce is a particular scary mother. Love Jenny. Hope they can all help and I don't think Angel's stalking will be a secret much longer. Buffy and company is on to him.
Joyce reminds me of my own mum! lol...God how I love her
redwulf5004/11/2006 05:08 am
Roflmao, Angel is such an ass.


What?? I'm just sayi.
And I couldn't write him were it not for you!
Elizabeth Anne Summers04/11/2006 04:48 am
My thoughts exactly! Ewww!!!
Rofl...didn't you like the new lyrics?
Harry 4Eyes04/11/2006 02:14 am
“Xander reads comic books and is into science fiction movies…he’s probably more knowledgeable about time travel and temporal paradoxes than the rest of us combined.” Jenny told them seriously.

that is so true, you don't need a scientists for this you need a sci-fi geek, afterall that's what the trio were, and let's face it if Xander didn't become friends with Willow he'd probably be best friends with the geeks, then agin if Willow didn't meet with Buffy she'd probably be best friends with Warren.

OK Angel going on towards beyond creepy territory now, it's bad enough he's spent the past who knows how many hours drawing buffy sleeping, something that is starkerish in the frist place now he's buchering perfectly....no idea what song so it might be a crappy song to begin with probably Barry Manilow any buchering a song, with seriously disturbing words. the words do not do it justice, unless it's coming from all three present and one future as well..lol

heheee Buffy you in trouble, just wait till Joyce finds out she's kinda engaged to the Vamp and has not told her yet....she'll be grounded for life...though she might wait till Buffy gets back to her own time and then ground her, or maybe the younger version for crimes she has yet to commit...or the young one for dating Angel that's a groudable offence right?

Poor fashion victim Whistler has to go back to SunnyD for damage control, should be interesting to read. There's a pairing, fashion victim with fashion princess, Cordy/Whistler wonder if there are any fics with that pairing? two part demons and vessels for TPTB yet completely different, makes sense to me.

So we finally getting the Buffy Jnr Buffy Snr get together? wicked can't wait.

Well love the update like always
Update soon
Harry.
The song was 'Mandy' by Barry Manilow...its the one he butchered with the correct lyrics when he had to sing for Lorne

Cand I just say ewwww to the Cordy/Whister pairing!
Richard04/11/2006 02:04 am
I forgot to mention; Whistler and Xander? Sweeeeeet. :>
I will try to surprise you in the future!
Richard04/11/2006 02:01 am
The Jules Verne reference is great. It's those little details ....

Angel's egotistical rendition of Barry Manilow really caps it off.

You made a very good point before about Angel drawing people when they're dead to the world. Doubly so since his drawing people when they're awake is inconsistent with his moping stalker power trips. Which means that first his drawings are creepy and second that they can't be other than creepy.
lol...it's hard to be subtle with Angel! But I try....
Robyn04/11/2006 01:57 am
I love that Buffy walked in on Angel singing, and I can't stop laughing at the changes he made to his favorite song or the reaction to those who heard it. I must admit that Jenny sees things far more clearly then the others about the value and reasons to include Xander, Willow, and young Buffy. And I love how Spike played Joyce, and Joyce's reaction to Buffy's impulsiveness was great. Dawn and Spike are going to be a whole lot of fun together, Dawn's excitement to Spike being her 'brother' was great, as was Spike's horror when Buffy mentioned grounding. Thanks for the update, they are always so great.
Thank you so much, it gives me great joy to know that someone is enjoying my warped sense of humour.
kim04/11/2006 01:54 am
"Ewww." Too right! Oh, that's hilarious.

And yup, Spike can so win Joyce over in a heartbeat. She's had a soft spot with his name stamped on it from the get-go.

Bring the others in? Hmmm, well they're going to stumble on it eventually, but.....

And there's Whistler! Knew he'd be along.
not all is as it seems!
TammyDevil66604/11/2006 01:12 am
Okay, odd place to leave us hanging. I'm guessing that was future Buffy after her younger self had to witness Angel's horrible singing. He seriously had me cracking up in this chapter. I never thought I would appreciate the original version so much. His lyrics were just really pathetic. And I don't even think he was drunk at that time, so that's even more pathetic. Poor delusional vampire, he still needs to be smacked. Good chapter=)
thank you...I had to leave it there, otherwise the chapter would have been twice as long...can't have that now can we?
DizzyB04/11/2006 01:07 am
Your story makes me smile every time I read a new chapter. Hilarity abounds, particularly in the subtle nuances. Thank You for one of the best tales out there right now.
Thank you for making my day!
Gaillee04/11/2006 12:34 am
Thanks so much for a super update. I'm still grinning...
you know...this challenge asked for angst...I have to do something about that!
slinkypsychokit04/11/2006 12:29 am
I'll see that "Ewwww" and raise you an "egads!! Make him stop the insane singing!"

Such a great chapter, Jack. (as you can see this review is mercifully lacking in the Angel-staking requests)...

//Turning wounded eyes to Joyce, Spike asked her sadly, “Don’t you want me as part of the family, Mum?”

Joyce instantly drew the poor vampire into her embrace. //


I'd have to say this has to be my favorite part of the whole chapter.
I like the idea of grounding him! lol
Kat04/11/2006 12:24 am
lol I cant wait till they are all brought together. yay hehehehe i am excited
lol...not long now
