Damn. I didn't know how much I missed seeing Faith and Buffy flirting with each other until I read this chapter. Like seriously, the flirty scenes during the sparring reminds me of those "now kiss" memes hahaha. I could see the sticky looks they're giving each other. Gaaah!
Hahaha! Way to wake up. Being attacked by a house plant. I wonder if it has anything to do with the ghost in the house. Or totally separate? Also, even Faith gets freaked out by ghosts! Like what is its fetish with the trunk and gowns? Damn it, is she possessing Faith? No!!! That will totally ruin the ongoing flirtations happening between our slayers.
It really is so easy to "see" things happening with the descriptiveness in your writing. The style won't work in flash fictions. I am not for flash fictions. I am for descriptive narratives. Hohoho.
Author's Response:
I'm happy you made it through this chapter without getting TOO scared. The house plant was unrelated, just a "monster of the week." Don't worry, this won't totally ruin the Buffy/Faith goodness. I have a little plan up my sleeve to work around it. 😜
You'll have to wait to find out more about the ghost, but details are forthcoming.
Oh, I know your love of descriptions. You're like a nagging little devil on my shoulder when I'm writing. 😂

Aha!!! The ghost DID possess Faith's body. Are they residing in the same body, or is Faith's soul floating within the confines of her room?
Poor Buffy getting the cold treatment from 'weird' Faith. I suppose even with their crazy, supernatural lifestyle, or can't always assume that a ghost is possessing someone's friend. Especially if you're only clues are they start giving you hugs, they don't eat a ton of breakfast, they ignore horses(!!!), and they stop making innuendoes to pretty blondes.
I totally laughed when Will nonchalantly mentioned Buffy's attraction to Faith.
So much has happened in this chapter: who is the new slayer? Why is this weird Faith chatty-Cathy with the old guy? Is the cat a real cat or another supernatural being (and why was he in the trunk)?
All these is making me hungry.

I am most behind on your reviews because C2 ate it the last two times I tried to respond to you. >:( Since I'm so late now, I know you know the answer to your questions. :p Faith was kicked out and is roaming about the house, rattling chains and whatnot.
To be fair, Faith stopping with her innuendos is a major clue! She loves to flirt. :D Willow definitely had Buffy's number here lol. Poor Buffy. Always the last to know about herself.
The cat is real and you've met the slayer by now. :p She'll be popping back up again too. As for the old guy... you'll have to wait and see.
My dearest Topak, I'm sorry I left you hanging out here all this time. You are wonderful and thank you for always following my fic and being patient with me. :D :D

What did I like the most about this chapter? The way you described how it felt like to be a slayer, the parts where Buffy was describing the differences between her old self and her slayer self. I was actually starting to wonder if you were Buffy hahaha.
It's strange how the spell didn't manage to detect what was wrong with Faith, but I'm glad Buffy managed to verify that something was truly wrong. You can trust your intuition but some actions require more justified reasons.
Ok I'm off to the next chapter. Where did she get those undies again? Hahaha.
Author's Response:
I assure you that I'm not Buffy, even if we do talk alike. ;) I hope I explained why the spell didn't detect anything to your satisfaction in the chapter after this. The undies were from in the trunk! Lol!

I really liked this chapter!!! Buffy has finally unlocked what happened to Faith. At first I thought it was the 'other woman' who knocked her out. I was really worried. Thankfully it was Faith.
I loved that part where Faith tells how she saw Buffy's frustration after being told that faith wasn't interested in her like that. So cute. You did well in conveying how she saw Buffy while in her non corporeal form. I enjoyed Faith's monologue. She sounded so, I dunno, not dark. More mature and calmer, appreciative.
I laughed at the two ghosts, are they ghosts or Angels? They have meetings? LoL!
I'm curious if Faith is visible to the other humans. And I wonder how the fuck that other woman can possess Faith's body but not have any idea that her soul still remains in the house. Won't she feel threatened?
Author's Response:
And now we are getting caught up! What do you mean knocked out? I was intending that to just be a side effect of the spell. Perhaps it didn't come across well?
Faith is all grown up! Not always easy when Buffy pushed her buttons as much as she does, but she's trying. Ami and Muriel are a mystery still to be revealed so I won't comment on them. :D Faith is not visible to the others, and the other woman can't see her now that she's got a body again. The hazards of body snatching I suppose. :p
