So glad to see another part of the story. I really feel for Bonnie, she misses Spike, and doesn't understand why he would leave her behind. And after losing her mother and grandmother, that has to be hard on her. But I have faith that you'll bring Spike back to both her and the rest of her clan.

Thank goodness for Dawn. She saved the day, being a typical whirlwind teenager. She and Bonnie will be friends in no time. Dawn's easy acceptance of the cute demon boy next door will no doubt cause some trouble with Buffy, but it's time someone challenged Buffy's world view, and the combination of Xander's child and Dawn's delight at sticking it to her sister will be a powerful one-two punch.

Can't wait to get to Season Seven, and a chance to get those two boys into a clinch of some sort! Great chapter.
