Oh, this was delightful! So much humor within the day-to-day reality of post-Shanshu life. Very creative back story for the wee Arbor Day Tree drabble. :-)

Fav funny bits included:

What was that? Spike leaned in closer to the mirror, turning his head to the right and staring at the edge of his left eye. He squinted, then widened his eye. Was that a wrinkle? It definitely looked like a crease of some ki-

Great opening. *g*

“Oi!” Spike called, startling the girl. She jumped, splashing her feet as the hose slipped. Up close, she looked even younger than he had previously thought-no older than the Bit, if that. “This what I think it is?”

Hahaha!

but I need to know which script we’re going with. Is this a pity call, or a buck up call, or something else?”

*g* Sooo Willow.

Yay, Remix! In honor of it, my solitary Spuffy icon. :D

Wonderful story. Of course, Buffy would have a lot of problems, trying to adjust to the normal life.

I miss California, Wil. My problems were simple then. I just had to worry about the apocalypse, not getting a job or making the mortgage or whatever.

Oh, Buffy... :)

Aw. I feel so sorry for Buffy in her "normal life" adjustment. And that's a very sweet ending. :)

Ah, domestic bliss. ;-)

I really loved this. So funny, but also sweet with the way Spike keeps trying to make Buffy feel better. And of course she'd have trouble adjusting to "normal" life. Just like she always wanted. ;-)

Your Willow is wonderful, too. Great remix!

Love the Dawn & Spike moment! And Willow is note perfect: “Buffy, I’m Supporto-Gal here, but I need to know which script we’re going with. Is this a pity call, or a buck up call, or something else?”

A fabulous expansion on the original, and a fab story on its own.
