Sigh fricking Angel...

Can we stake him too?? Lurking around watching and being all pouty - I swear Angel is an arse. Is Dru sure she wants to go with him???

How could he be so oblivious about Jenny?? And may I add Giles dusting Darla and then his speech to Angel - OUTSTANDING!

Also I really like your idea that Darla can get in even though been dusted the invite still stands - really clever plotting!!!

Unable to listen to his delusional prattling any longer, she rapidly nears the point where she would prefer being killed, if only to be spared this torture. this had me snorting out loud ::grin::

Is it me or is Angel truely shallow - oh Darla's dust better go chat up Dru cos don't wanna be lonely *rolls eyes*

recently decreased Angel, typo here deceased rather than decreased -hope it's okay pointing this out?

Fantastic chapter Dia really enjoyed it

Hon as alway a nummy treat!

XXXXX

Glad you liked it!

Of course it's okay to point that out! Changed it now - thanks :-)

And yes, Angel is shallow, you know me, don't have the best opinion of Cpt. Forehead *smirk*.

As for the Jenny part, it always felt to me as if - no matter that he wore his guilt like a halo - Angel never really identified himself with Angelus. And it's not like the Scoobies' attitude helped with that. So it would be logical for him to expect Giles to blame Angelus not Angel for Jenny's death.

Hmmm, if Dru goes with him you'll find out soon. All I can say is that the girl knows what she is doing ;-)

Giles and his Darla-dusting is what gave the chap it's name btw. Thought Giles was still owed some...

Phew was worried you might smack me for mentioning it!

Angel is shallow LOL to right *snigger*

Sing out sista he never really felt guilty - blamed it on Angelus and made sure that the two identities were kept seperate. Whereas he is both Angel and Angelus we all have good and evil in us. The brooding I think was more a manfestation of his ennui rather than anything else...am I making sense of should I get more sleep....

Oh oh oh does that mean Dru will stay?? Damn I am going to have to wait aren't I???

Giles is owed a lot - he hasn't even gotten even for the torture in the mansion!!

Great chapter darling

You are making sense (or you did once I checked what ennui means *blushes*)!
Not like he had anything else going for him *snigger*

Uhmmm, I'd tell you since I love getting spoiled myself, but I'm afraid there are people out there who'll hurt poor me if I do that. So yes, you'll have to wait. I'll try to be fast, though :-)

So Tempus huh? That's so cool! One of those fics I've re-read to often to count... And I'll be sure to check for your enty in WD later on :-)

Btw, yay to the shirts! Definitely want one. Oh, you'll soooo love .. ups, bad!Dia, no telling. Hehe, aren't I evil today *snigger*

p.s.: I'll let you know if I find the fic with Spike doing the trails all clever like. Can't remember where I read it right now.

Hey, if it was my decision they wouldn't have to stop! Endless Angel torture is not what I have in mind for this one though. But maybe I'll actually try and make something readable out of this text-file I have, where I write stuff whenever I'm furious at one of the characters. Could be interesting...

Glad you like it wulfie!

-- p.s.: Emotional torture does count, doesn't it? I like it better, you don't recover as easy from it as from physical *evil smirk*

Great chappie, sweets! Loving Angel's stupid prat-ness and Giles' rant... Go Ripper Go! Although if he'd just tossed that stake through the door at Angel...

And completely ROFL at the band candy incident...good on you for bringing that back up. Certainly nothing anyone ever wants to walk in on once, much less twice.

Wonderful work...can't wait to see more...especially what happens with Dru and Angel!

What a nice thought, but no, couldn't continue making him look like an ass if I kill him. Well, I could but he wouldn't have to endure the others disgust and that'd be a waste, don't you think ;-)

You liked me bringing that up? Good! Thought it was a pity that they all seemed to forget about it. And honestly, being teens again is a pretty poor excuse for the police-car-romp. Can't remember doing something like that all the time when I was a teen - hmmm, maybe that's where I went wrong?

I'll try to update soon. Next chapter is actually nearly done but I'm having some difficulties deciding where to end it....

Excellent chapter of an excellent story.

I must admit I find the present tense third person narrative a little harder to read than a more conventional structure would be, but you do it well enough to overcome that drawback and I'm enjoying this a lot.

Glad you like it.

I know that writing in present tense is not the best idea, and find it harder to read in other fics myself. Never planned to use it either but I kept slipping when I tried to write it in past tense. Don't know why either. I had the same problem with Through another's eyes while I have parts of other fics sitting on my hard-drive with whom I didn't have any problems of that sort.

Those two seemed to have a mind of their own and in the end I decided to let them have their way. Even if it's a bit harder to read, it probably still beats driving my betas crazy because I'm not able to stay in one time.

Thanks for the rev, apprentice it :-)
