I am terribly sorry this took so long to update. I won’t list the reasons as to why this is a few days late because they are numerous, but please, just accept that sometimes I won’t be able to update immediately. Even though I am a teenager, I am extremely busy and have a great deal of crap going on in my life. Please do not mistake this for me losing interest in your story, ok? I have been with this story for quite some time and I know I have mentioned more than once that I will be with this story until the end.

That said, I thought it was a pretty good idea for you to put Giles and Jenny into this chapter, even though Giles wasn’t originally in this episode. It was a good way for Jenny to check up on Willow and Giles to check up on Buffy, even though it was quite awkward.

Anya’s vows (or the pieces we got a glimpse of) were very funny. I can’t remember if this was an actual scene in the episode or not. If it wasn’t then this was definitely a creative scene. Boning, humping, etc. are definitely all words that Anya would have in her vows.

The conversation that Giles has with Dawn is very cute. It reminded me of the conversation that Buffy has with Jenny after the whole Eyghon thing. I think it’s good that Dawn sees that they did have to leave for a reason (even though Jenny has had to explain it to her many times).

As I believe Fidget said, the end of the chapter did seem kind of rushed. Please don’t take that as me trying to be a bitch about it or whatever, I’m just saying. It wasn’t bad in the slightest, but it was rushed through.

I also think that watching Xander’s family was also a good experience in its own way because it’s yet another thing that will make Giles’ and Jenny’s marriage stronger. It did make me kind of sad to think that Jenny would have thoughts like that, but I guess we can’t help thinking about the what ifs.

It was also very cute when Jenny was asking Giles what he would do if she turned blue and yellow and he answered red, so that they could be the primary colors. <3 There needs to be more men in the world like Giles.

Thank you again, as always for this chapter and for sticking with this as long as you have. I won’t ever be able to leave this story, trust me. You have a reader in me until the end, so even if you don’t hear from me for a few days? Don’t worry or think that you have lost me. I probably just have something going on.

I know we are nearing the end of this, but as always, I can’t wait for your next chapter.

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed most of this one! It was interesting to write, that's for sure -- normally it's just trying to squeeze Jenny in, but this episode didn't even have Giles. So, that was new, lol.

And haha, I loved writing Anya's vows. She didn't say the boning/humping stuff in the episode, but there was that 'sex poodle' thing, which is infinitely more hilarious.

Sorry the end of the episode was rushed. Unfortunately, I was caught between a rock and a hard place with that one -- as I mentioned above, it would have been weird to describe the entire demon fight but not have Giles or Jenny do anything to help (because there's no way they'd do that), but it also would have been weird to have them jump in and help, because they really didn't belong there.

Not to mention, the actual breakup between Xander and Anya would have been private. Giles and Jenny wouldn't have been privy to it, and as this story is only written using their POVs... yeah. That wouldn't have worked. So unfortunately, that just left the option to summarize. I don't foresee any future chapters needing to be dealt with in that way, though, so that's good.

Glad you enjoyed most of this story, though! I hope to have some more ready soon. Thanks again!!
