Okay, I just about busted a gut when Buffy was trying to get a message to the Mayor!!! HAHAHA!!! forever. I just found it so funny that the vamp kept fighting and Buffy kept trying not to kill him. LOL for real! I think it's right up there with the funniest Fuffy scenes I've read.

I loved Faith's reaction to Buffy's big plan to take on the Mayor:

"What, Red? The boss has been at this for a hundred years and your grand plan is the pencil floater? I'm sure he's already running for the hills."

I like Buffy's confidence in Willow and her Scooby gang. Her loyalty and faith(!) make me love her.

Again I have to say how great it is that things aren't settled or even remotely easy for Fuffy. You've written it so well, it's incredibly easy to feel like just one wrong or misunderstood word could blow the whole deal. There's no way to read their exchange without being on pins and needles.

Xander and his kneeling for Synder! HAHAHA!!! Uh...yeah, let's just leave that one alone.

The whole Scooby Gang meeting is hysterical with several funny lines. My fave has to be the "reserve/reverse" misread by Giles. I'm suspecting a real life typo for you someplace that you turned into a joke ;) Don't bothering denying it.

Wesley's bringing the funnies too, the whole deal is one laugh after the other and very much like watching an episode.

"Oh Oh!" Willow interrupted. I think I've found something."

"Does it say reserve?" Buffy keeps right on zinging Giles. LOL!

Wesley's rallying of the troops is hysterical, especially the said troops reaction to his ridiculous rallying.

Another fantastic chapter packed with emotion, tension, and humor. Maybe you even included the kitchen sink :) :) :)

Author's Response:

Pfft. Baseless accusations. I don't make typos. My fingers are physically unable to. Antidisestablishmentarianism. See? *totally didn't copy and paste that* 0:)

I think all of the Scoobies' plans are awful in this. They basically seem to boil down to "Well let's just waltz on in and hope for the best." That may be a slight flaw with my writing. :p

The kitchen sink actually comes later. It gets possessed and everything. It's not pretty.*
