Straight to the point:

I LOVED THE MUSEUM SCENE. Wildly! Every facet of it was just perfect, and I felt like I could see and hear it with ease. The whole set-up was great -- Buffy biding her time until it's the right time, trying to figure out how to handle the vamps and make sure she gets away with the Shard, and then...BAM! It's a bad sitch gone way worse with Faith now in the mix.

Faith's dialogue was great, her lines popping out just like Faith:

"Oh, and you might wanna think about running right about now. I'll even give you a head start."

I suppose that's stupid to quote, even though it's good, but when you add in how great you wrote the entire fight scene, well, it's fantastic.

Buffy watching the fight, then her way less than graceful Slayer entrance was just perfect too:

"Oh right," she muttered, as Giles' tale from the previous day surfaced in her mind. "Trio."

I like how the Slayers interact without saying anything: Buffy ready to jump in and save Faith, Faith smirking at Buffy's arrival, the way they fight, but pay attention to each other. It's really neat.

For future reference...No choking Buffy again.

Haha, thanks. :) I was thinking two chapters for pretty much a single scene was probably leaning toward excessive, but I couldn't really find much to cut without upsetting the flow. So I'm glad you liked it.

I'll try and keep that in mind. But I can still choke Faith though... right? *makes furious edits* :p
