Thanks. Xander got to dust him too! I like that Xander is getting along with Spike, but will he remember in the morning? or did Giles do a spell on him too? One more chapter to go and I have to starting begging for new updates as well, and believe me I don't mind begging for what I want. Great chapter.

OK so will Xander remember any of this conversation or will they have to redo the whole thing again? like that case of deja vu Angel gets, or maybe because of that spell that allows certain things to carry through when the day repeats itself? So even though Xander won't remember why he feels different but he still will? It's all very confusing.

Yeah Xander got to dust the forehead to, that leaves basically...Wesley as the only one who might still want to dust him, ofcourse if I was Spike i'd waste a few days just dusting Angel, then get on with all the tasks in hand, like befriending Tara, and Xander and help Anya adjust to being human (Though I don't remember if thats an actual task they have to carry out.) um...Help Willow somehow...maybe, Get the twerps away from Warren, something about Riley break up and something else about him and ofcource Adam. and maybe something else as well I can't remember.

Busy busy day I really wouldn't want to be the person who has to write the entire day for all that that's for sure.

Well still loving it
Update Soon

Thanks!

*sigh* Sadly they will have to do again. Sorry about the confusion, *g* Mostly they're testing out the problems and the solutions right now. Yup, lots and lots to do,lol. Thanks so much!

I like that Spike was able to reach Xander and the huge difference it made in him. I loved Giles’ thought that Buffy’s ability to live in denial is infectious and Spike’s actions are certainly supporting the idea that he has moved there. Thanks for the very enjoyable update.
Yup, just like Cooties, Denial can spread, lol

Thanks so much for the review and support!

I am loveing this fic. The dailey dusting is so funny, why can't we have a daily killing of Riley? Maybe Lorne can dust Angel next.
rofl, daily killing of Riley would be sooo much messier, rofl, at least Angel turns to fertalizer *g*
Emily07/28/2006 08:42 pm
Nice little role reversal here. Spike being the one in denial and running away from his problems would be quite be funny if it wasn't horribly frustrating. Love it, and waiting for more
hee hee! If you're frustrated just imagine how Buffy feels, rofl Thanks!
saraw12807/28/2006 07:08 pm
Absolutly great story so far!! I just came across it and can't wait for more!
Thanks so much! Hope you enjoy the rest!
Jessica07/28/2006 04:08 am
Such a cute chapter. Spike's reaction to the kiss was excellent. It's good to see Buffy waiting for Spike to come around for a change, even if she already knows the outcome. ; ) Can't wait for more.
Yup, we wanted a Buffy falls first type of story for a change! Thanks so much!
Lusha07/27/2006 04:45 pm
This is so much fun to read! I'm looking forward to more!
Thanks ! Glad you're enjoying!
HEE07/27/2006 03:31 pm
This story is a treasure. There are so many great relationships in it; the lighter side of Buffy and Spike; Giles and Spike and now Spike and Xander.
(Oh and I didn't review at the time but that line in the previous chapter "We'd invite you in but....we really don't like you" had me on the floor laughing.)
The daily Angel staking is priceless. I can't wait to see whose turn it is next.
Eagerly awaiting the next installment.
Thanks so much! So glad you like it! We've had a lot of fun writing this one!
VWalk07/27/2006 03:25 pm
The continuing theme of Angel Stake-age is hilarious. I'm so curious as to who will be the next one to stake Angel. Who's left? Anya? Clem?
I really really like the way you brought Xander out of his hatred of all things demon. The bonding between him and Spike was touching.
He and Spike could actually become good friends.
This is a great story and I'm so glad I stumbled upon it. I know you're updating regularly, but it still seems so long in between.
Great job.
Thanks so much, we did have a one week stumble but we're back on track now, *crosses fingers* Thanks again!
Helen07/27/2006 02:04 pm
I just found this through the LLGA site. Wow. It's truly fabulous. I have to admit that Groundhog Day is one of my favourite films so the nods to it are great. This is really well written. I love the structure of a day per chapter and the fact that you're making the scoobies work through all their problems. And dusting Angel every chapter with no angst. ROFLMAO!!

Really wonderful story, I await the next chapter with eager anticipation

~*helen*~
It's one of my favorites too, i laugh now everytime I see it come on, and of course sit and watch! Thanks so much for the wonderful review, glad you found us!
spikes_wish07/27/2006 04:11 am
another great chapter. Are Buffy and Spike eva gonna talk about the kiss? silly spikey....
Thanks so much! Not if Spike can run fast enough, rofl
Lou07/27/2006 02:20 am
Spike, Spike, you're such a dope! Still I'm sure it will be worth the wait. Nice turnaround for Xander and another happy dusting! Great chapter.
rofl, i'm sure Spike wouldn't agree, he's just trying to be a 'good friend' even if he is clueless, Thanks!!
Emilee07/27/2006 01:45 am
Nice role reversal with Spike being in denial and Buffy being the pursuer. She's gonna have to do something about that. I like the Xander/Spike interaction too. Please don't wait so long before the next update. Can't wait to see what happens next.
Yup, now Buffy can see how it feels, rofl. Thanks, sorry about the wait, hopefully we're close to being back on track!
jess07/26/2006 11:55 pm
Gahh!!! Please god let this get to the less suspensful stuff soon. OMG I can not wait for you to update again!
rofl, Thanks so much! Sorry for the stress, hopefully we'll have some less suspensful chapters soon! *g*
Esther07/26/2006 07:46 pm
*hugs* This just gets better and better!!! Gosh, what to say--I loved it!! From Giles' 'Buffy and denial' comment-to Xander/Spike scenes (soo great!!)--to Xander dusting Angel *YIPPEE*--to that ender. WOW!!! I really can't wait for the next one!
Thanks so much! Glad you're enjoying it so much! Hope you enjoy the rest!
MarzBar07/26/2006 06:30 pm
This is definitely a change everythng day. Xander gets some smarts and Angelus gets dusted. How will that come out? More story please.
rofl, Thanks...not sure about the Xander gets 'smarts' part, but his eyes definatly opened a bit.
kim07/26/2006 06:07 pm
Oh, that's hilarious - Spike being in more denial than Buffy. Who'd ever thought that would happen?

Awww, Xander's feeling useful again...the boy so needed guy friends.

Giles' eyes opened further...very good.
Yup, Spikes swimming the Nile with the best of them, *g*
Bookchick of the Novel Clan07/26/2006 05:49 pm
Fantastic! I think I kinda like Xander getting a bit of Angel dust for himself.
Thanks, yup couldnt end it before Xander got a turn! lol
~*~Tasha~*~07/26/2006 05:17 pm
Yippee! The new chapter. {Does a dance all around}

Go Buffy with her realizations. Even though she doesn't know why Dru would want it ... she realizes it and has no problem with it. Whoo hoo ... now to get Spike out of Egypt, and we'd all be fine.

The way you went through a lot of things in the scene with Buffy, Spike, and Giles as a way to "Test" the reactions to what should and shouldn't be done was an excellent wrap up and seguay. A very creative way to put a lot of information into the story all at once and have the flow work.

ROFL to Giles' line about Spike being a good impersonator ... the spoiled child routine. LOL.

I hope they did something to keep Xander's memories. So they don't have to go through thta all again with Xander every day. it would make it easier for them.

Yeah!! Another Angel dusting. LOL. That will teach Angelus to attack Spike. When all of this is over, I wonder how bad Angel's body is going to feel. It's been dusted so many times. LOL
*giggles* Yup, Spike's happily or rather not 'happily' in denial, lol

They're mostly testing the waters, to see the actual problems and solutions, Thanks!
DizzyB07/26/2006 05:15 pm
Ya know, dusting Angel just doesn't get old! Great chapter. Can't wait for the next day!
rofl, nope doesn't get old for us either, glad you liked!
pretty_in_fangs07/26/2006 04:55 pm
Giles was struck by a single thought, ‘Apparently, Buffy’s ability to live in denial is infectious.’
I nearly fell off the couch laughing! I love it.
I also adored the Spike/Giles relationship. You portray it really well.
rofl, yup Denial is catching, Thanks!
Ashley Granchester07/26/2006 04:10 pm
I was anxiously waiting for the new chappie. Oh boy, I really love it. Specially since is now Buffy the first that realized about feelings and sharing them.

It was pretty funny to have Spike in Denial (its a first regarding feelings hehehe), but I really hope Buffy can take him out of there soon.

I'm also glad that Spike made amends with Xander and that he got to stake Angel. Oh I'm so envious about it, how would I love to be able to do that.

Please keep it up and post soon the next chappie. I can assure you that you will make us really, really, really happy.

Ash
Thanks for much! We wanted to go at it with a 'She falls first' approach, glad you like!
golddrake07/26/2006 03:41 pm
great chapter
Thanks!
letitia07/26/2006 03:15 pm
Okay if you didn't get my email yet IGNORE IT... I was so excited to see this new chapter. I can't believe that Buffy is going to pull Spike back from denial land. Great to see Spike being the one to get through to Xander. And love how Buffy was trying to play the questions.. LOVE LOVE LOVE the chapter.
rofl, yup we got it, at the time the chapter was with beta, Glad your still with us and enjoying!
UncagedMuse07/26/2006 03:12 pm
Enjoyed! Thanks ladies for the great read.
Thanks so much!
redwulf5007/26/2006 02:53 pm
Bloody excellent chappie
but when does the groinfest start
*huggles wulfie and then slaps him* no groinfest! lol
deedo07/26/2006 02:38 pm
great update

and finally, I've been anxious and twitchy all week, waiting for the new chappie I'm totally addicted to this fic

Poor Spike, isn't it usually pretty sunny in Egypt? But it's really cute, too. I hope it won't take Buffy too long to coax him out of his denial.
I'm glad to see, they worked out some more issues, especially Xander. And Angel dusted once again, always a good way to end a day!

So thanks for another lovely chapter and keep up your fantastic work!
Sorry about the wait! and Thanks so much for the wonderful review!
Bridget07/26/2006 01:52 pm
It is really funny how Angel keeps getting dusted. I am glad that Xander has seen the light. It is also a nice change that Spike is the one in denial. Thanks for the update.
*g* I dont' think anyones tired of the Angel dustage yet, rofl Thanks!
