Gotta love Wesley. He is both an antagonist at times and then at others he is completely unaware of the affect he is having and how it makes Giles hate him. It was funny when Buffy beat up the newbie vampire all the while venting her frustration over Faith on him. Good work. :)
Author's Response:Yes, yes you do have to love Wesley. In fact, there should be some kind of law about it. :D
It saddens me when people badmouth him. I just like to pretend they've never watched Angel and so don't realize how amazing he truly is.
I'd better warn you: I made some notes on Chapters 2-6 and um...I can never read my handwriting. Bear with me and just accept any compliments I give you on your -- "baseball gloves that sit sadly beside the purple tufted pizza beds". Like you could read these any better ;)
Anyway...
I loved how Buffy took her Faith troubles out on the newbie vamp. HAHAHA!!! Him suggesting that she needs some weed was fucking hysterical! HAHAHA!!! Chillax, B.
The whole idea of The Shards of Ursula and their Keepers (threes all 'round) was very clever and very "Buffy" show-like, in the best way.
Wesley driving Giles crazy was funny as was his: "I found one!". Hell, his eagerness to get credit and be one of the guys was really amusing throughout the scene, and it sort of made me like him a little bit. Yes, I live in the moment and how was I to know what was coming in the following chapters?

Yeah, the purple tufted pizza beds was my fav.... wait, what? :p
I didn't really notice when first writing this, but I do seem to have some kind of innate obsession with the number three. I'm just going to say it's because the power of three will set us free. (And if you get the reference, you're no better than I am. Plus I only managed the first one and a bit seasons so don't judge me. :p)
I know some people hate Wesley, but he's one of my favourite characters (Especially on Angel) and he was never a total monster or anything, so I had to try and give him a little balance.
