What a way for the chip to be removed. I really hope it is realized that Spike has been taken soon. I loved the talk Anne gave to Xander and how she pointed out the problems in his actions. I also like that Buffy and Giles heard the talk and hopefully it will have a positive influence on them. Thanks for the update, I was so happy to see it.
Xander is not beyond hope. Thanks. K

I guess it's my turn.  Having caught up with the other WIPS I've been following, I decided to check this fic out, only to have read all nine chapters.  I absolutely love this story!  I especially love the way you twisted this scene with Glory to include the removal of Spike's chip.  I can't wait to see what happens in future chapters!  
Thank you and so glad you are catching up. K

Fabulous story. I love it. And I especially love Anne. She's great. I really enjoyed her little talk with Xander. Much needed.
Thank you and for the earlier comments as well. Computer problems have kept me from replying but I am so pleased you are enjoying the story. Yes, someone needed to have a chat with Xander IMHO...maybe he would have acted differently towards Anya too. K

Yeah, the chip is gone. Hope Buffy can get to him soon! I am really enjoying this fic!
Thanks sweetie! K

I hope Anne can get through to Xander. I like how you both expose him for what he is and offer him the possibility of changing. Often, he either is irreperably hateful or immediately becomes Spike's friend with little justification. I think you're handling it quite well.
I hope your computer problems get sorted out!
Thank you! I think Xander simply needed guidance. There was much good in him but there WERE issues between he and Spike. ITA with you. K

Go Mom-Power! Xander needed that. I can't wait to see the reaction to Spike being taken. I can just imagine how the "We must kill him before he can talk" attitude from the show would go over with Anne. Or will you play it differently? Can't wait to see.
Just gonna have to wait and see LOL. Thanks. K

OK, Anne time to kick Glory's ass
I gave Anne a harder job....getting through to the scoobies and Giles *G*. K

ewwww,fingers don't go there. Great chapter. Like to see Xander finaly recognize a wakeup call.
Glory's fingers went all sorts of nasty places LOL. Thanks. K

I just read your story today. It is great. You have done a great job with Spike's mother and her description of Spike. I really liked how Anne told off Xander. She did it in such a way that was not mean but compassionate. But you also knew that she would not brook any nonsense. Please update soon.
Thank you. Yes, I can't see Anne being mean even to Xander...but she will not let anyone hurt her boy either. K

*sniff* Poor Spike!!

Loved Anne's tongue-lashing for Xander. There's no clear argument against any of her points.

Buffy, Buffy, Buffy.....
Thank you. Yup, Buffy is not quite on the right page just yet. K

That was the most genteel dressing down I've ever seen. It looks to be alot more effective than a smack in the head and it's unintendidly done good for the eavesdroppers.
Anne is a lady after all...still she can get her points across. Thank you. K

more, more please. I love Spike´s mother and this story is just getting soo interresting!!!!
Thank you. K
Dar06/19/2006 01:16 pm
I vote for Anne for Mother of the Year. Love that woman and the chapter. Great Job
Thank you. K

Excellent chapter. I love Anne confronting Xander with his behavior, while also seeing the potential for good in him. Glory taking the chip out - a very logical and much more reasonable step than leaving it in as they did in the show. Looking forward to more.
Thank you! I always wondered why Glory would have overlooked the hardwear in Spike's head. K
UncagedMuse06/19/2006 11:06 am
Go Anne! That was a fantastic speech to Xand. Spike's chip is gone. *giggles* I can't wait to see what happens next. I love this fic so much.
Thank you. Yup, I'm having fun with the idea too, glad you are as well. K

I feel bad for all of them, although I think Xander definitely needed a good slap.
He does need to be called on his attitude. K
