You had him drained by a vamp? You are gloriously evil girl. I'm still laughing. I can't get over it, just hysterical. Trying to be all stealthy and figuring out how to get back with Buffy through Harris, he gets nabbed by a vamp. If it's Spike I know he wont drain him, if not, he's toast and not a bad way to go considering all that he's done in the name of science. Great job, just love it.
All I can say is it's not Spike

Re Riley's last thought: It's amazing how obsession can cloud judgment, isn't it?
Obsession can cause a great deal of problems

Great chapter! I hope the L.A. gang and Penny can he knock some sense into Angel. Yay for more bonding between Xander and Spike!!
We can live in hoper

Good old Riley - I couldn't be happier!!
LOL...I think he could!
Karyn04/16/2006 12:16 am
omg! him being an idiot is Buffy's fault...*slaps him as he's being drained!!*
Well of course...who else would he blame?
Oracleholly04/15/2006 07:44 pm
oh my! the xander/Spike conversation was my favorite part of this chapter. I like the friendship bond that they're developing. The end with the vamp sucking on Riley -- (1) ewww, poor vamp will get indigestion and (2) this doesn't bode well - if he's turned, and (3) Who in their right mind would turn or even bite Cardboard?
At some point I'll probably answer all those questions! Maybe
maryperk04/15/2006 11:24 am
Stupid Riley. Always blaming his problems on other people.
He is not suffering from an overabundance of intelleact! ;)
Morrigan04/14/2006 10:50 pm
Hehehe...  Well, at least Riley's final suck job was a freebie!
ROFL! it certainly was
vladt04/14/2006 03:18 pm
great update. even the uncertainty of riley"s fate is a win/win. thanks for the fun read.
You are most welcome!

perhaps with lot of tiny words Penny can help Angel.

One Riley problem gone, or perhaps made worse.
I'm not sure if Penny knows many little words! lol

Oooooh, someone was hungry. "Riley Bites" yum! Is "Mummy" watching? I hope whoever it was leaves him drained. Vampire Riley wouldn't last one night. He's just too stupid. *grin*
Now if I answer any of that I'd be giving away stuff...so...
Pulchra Nex04/14/2006 11:23 am
That's a briljant analogy!! :-D Never thought of it like that...
Thank you...don't know if it's accurate, but it works for me!

Now what's eating Cardbored? I am enjoying Spike and Xander's new found friendship but really don't care who or what offs Riley unless, of course, it helps the story.
SOOOOO beautifully put!

That's it, Riley. It's all Buffy's fault. She tossed you out knowing you would stalk Spike and Xander as they went to get food. She knew you would hang out in the shadows so focused on the two male Scoobies that you would be completely oblivious to your own surroundings. In fact, she even paid that vampire to sneak up behind you and turn you into a human slurpee.
**snicker**

But, hey, buck up, big guy! If ya get dead, you won't have to worry about those men and their little white coats.
rofl...not necessarily!

Angel is a spoilt brat. He needs a spanking... preferably with 12 strands of barbed wire twisted together...

I think between Wesley's moral compass and Cordelia's "do it or I'm gonna bitch" attitude, they MIGHT be able to keep Peaches in line... maybe.

I LIKE the Spike and Xander friendship thing thats happening... *grin*

How in hell can Riley being bitten be Buffy's fault? SHE didnt send him out to follow Spike and Xander... asshole shoulda gone back to the frat and had a circle-jerk with his "buddies".

Great chapter Jack. *GRIN* Keep em comin!
'cause she hadn't already killed all the demons silly!
Irina04/14/2006 05:31 am
I liked how Spike answered Xander's question, great conversation between the two. Hmmm... The unexpected twist at the end of the chapter has me wondering if a certain mad vampiress has joined the party, guess i'll have to wait to find out. Wonderful update!
Thank you...you will have to wait, sorry!
kim04/14/2006 04:25 am
Whohoa! Didn't expect Riley to end up a snack! Will Spike hear it?

Kind of felt sorry for Angel, there, when Buffy snapped at him. If someone asks a polite question, the least you can do is be civil back. Oh, well. About time Penny moved things along, anyway.

Steering the ship while watching for a mutiny - perfect analogy. At least all sides of Spike are affectionate. That has to help.
consider all that Buffy has learned over the last few days and tell me that you wouldn't snap too?

Now now we can't have some fledgeling kill Riley, that would not be fair on Spikey, so maybed what we need is Spike saving his arse and then getting his arse kicked by said vamp and have him run off to wherever he ran off to last time. Unless ofcourse you are thinking of turning Lil Riley into a Vamp and then he'd have to face Spike one on one and see just what it means to be a Master Vampire when he is nothing but a lowly fledge...either option is good, as long as he gets his arse kicked by Spike.

*sigh* I somehow don't think that the talk between Penny and Angel is going to go well, the dude never did take instructions very well, he has to be in charge no matter how bad his judgement is, as long as he made the decision it's the right one. Well maybe he needs to be beaten into submission by the cheerleader she looks like she might be able to handle the Bulky Vamp.

Well still loving it
Update soon
Harry
Thanks Harry, you've given me some good options there!

Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. Rather unexpected but very fitting.
I do like to surprise.
Jace Nox04/14/2006 03:04 am
*Looks excited* death of Riley!!! yay!! *then pauses and thinks* awe shit...Riley Vampire option...*grins* AWESOME

Keep up the great work....*thumbs up*

Thanks Jace. Heehee I do love options!
Elizabeth Anne Summers04/14/2006 02:51 am
Oooo is someone finally killing Riley? Yay... and what did the note to Giles say?
Guess you'll just have to keep reading to see! lol
Robyn04/14/2006 02:16 am
As nasty as Cordy could be, she is the best thing that ever happened to Angel. It is the very bitchiness of her that allows her to push Angel rather then him doing the pushing, and that is exactly what he needs. Angel was very easily able to manipulate Buffy, and that was one of the things that made their relationship unacceptable. On the other hand Angel really can't manipulate Cordy and that is what makes their relationship that of equals. And I love how you showed that here, from the beginning of their working relationship, even before they became friends, if she felt strong enough about something she made him do it. I really love the friendship between Spike and Xander, I could see how those two could have truly made good friends on the show, if only Xander could have seen Spike for who he became. I love what ended up happening to Riley, there is a definite humor to it. Although he now might become an even bigger threat. With you I take nothing for granted. Thank you for the great chapter, you manage to convey much, and give much to think about each time you post.
I think the manipulation factor need to take Buffy's age at the inception of their relationship, it set the stage for the positions they held within the relationship even as she grew older. Cordy never suffered the self doubt that Buffy did
redwulf5004/14/2006 01:49 am
LMAO, I love being one of those "in the know"

Great chappie
Thanks sweetie...you do manage to get your own way alot!
fallen_angel04/14/2006 01:35 am
