I want to take a second to thank everyone who has reviewed this so far - on LiveJournal, on FF.net, and on Elysian Fields. Thank you guys so much! I don't think I'd have kept continuing if not for the wonderful feedback. :)
Also, due to requests and due to my desire to, I'm going to aim for longer chapters from here on out. A lousy 300 words seems way too short to dub a 'chapter.'

A/N for this chapter: WARNING, this chapter does contain Riley, HOWEVER, he's totally not going to be Buffy's romantic interest at all in anything I write ever, so no worries. Note that, however, in previous episodes and including Something Blue, he was Buffy's almost-boyfriend, so I had to include him and give him the proper shove-off, if you will. Also, I feel inclined to note that he may or may not make an additional appearance in this fic, but never as Buffy's boyfriend. Now, without further ado, here's the next chapter!

A/N: WHAT, so soon? Why, yes! I suppose I just couldn't help it, I had to get right on to writing the next chapter! Also, I have received several comments asking where Spike was and when he will be making an appearance in this fic. Rest assured, my readers, he WILL be most DEFINITELY in the next chapter. From the prologue to this chapter, I felt the need to make certain events happen before heading full steam into where I want this fic to go. I apologize to any readers who have felt frustrated with the lack of Spike! Don't worry, from now on, he will be just as central a character as our dear Buffy.

I’m pretty antsy about this chapter, as I’m gearing away from the previous light-heartedness and humor and heading full-stem into some angst. *Bites nails nervously.* Hope you like, and as a reward to all the wonderful people who reviewed or just peeked in to read, here’s Spike entering the story, where he will now stalk every chapter…

For the purposes of the story, everything canon that happened after Something Blue - the fight against Adam, Joyce’s death, Glory, The Nerd Trio, The First - didn’t happen. I just couldn’t kill of Joyce, she’s too sweet a person. I have twice forgotten to mention that the spell I used in Chapter 6, the one that Willow uses to track demons, is the very same in the episode “Same Time, Same Place.” I’m sure everyone gathered that, but I want to properly give credit where credit is due. Lastly, I want to thank once more all of you who have read and reviewed so far – you guys make my day and motivate me to continue writing! :)
