Egnalos – Welcome.
It’s good to see a blessed wannabe. Thanks so much for loving it. I’d say something interesting will happen in the next update but you’ll have to wait to find out what. Thanks.
Wimpy – Yeah, the next piece of exposition is kind of the central one and therefore takes longer. Thanks. It should be interesting.

Asher's teething? Poor guy. I know that can be hard on them, and their clothes are always soaked. Bibs come in handy, don't they?
Yeah. One broke through this weekend but he’s working on three more. Actually we’re so vain that we’d rather change his clothes 3-4 times a day than have him wear a bib. What can I say? At least we admit our vanity.
YMKA – We’ll see what happens re: finding out and how (if so). Yeah Tara is a new Generation Watcher for sure. Thanks.
Not exactly a vacation: visit to the in-laws but a pretty good one as they go.
Natti – Yeah, now they can be slayers together. Thanks. I’ll see how quickly I can get the update up but I wouldn’t count on it. It’s not even started yet and I’m really busy these days.
Sammi – Yes, soon. Thanks.
Arwen – Soon is soon. I love that speech and felt that they should have made even more of a joke of it throughout the series. I’m glad you were amused.
BV – Wow, I thought it got less complicated with them finding out about slayers and that Faith is one. Thanks.
Nicole – LOL. Glad it’s worth it. thanks.
Grimaldi – Thanks. We’ll see what happens with Willow and Dawn and Willow and Tara soon.
Irishgrl3 – Thanks. I’m glad you liked and thought it was worth the wait. I’m really busy these days so having a hard cranking out updates. The Buffy line is from her conversation with Riley in the episode following Hush (whatever that’s called). Thanks.
BARE1975 – Well… you’d think it was impossible wouldn’t you? But it will be soon. Thanks.
Michelle – Yep, that’s one secret out of the bag. We’ll see about the report, ok?
Romy – Thanks. Yep, I liked it.
Tarawhipped – Thanks. Yep, you can check it out and me? A big tease? I have no idea what you are talking about. I’m glad you like the relationship between Faith & Tara. As I’ve said many times before, it’s my belief that Faith was just a few adjustments from being an incredible Slayer and an incredible person. I believe that she and Tara each fulfilled the weaknesses in each other’s histories, making them a great team. The writing is going very slowly so I definitely wouldn’t check in that often.
Karen – Sorry about the sanity: I certainly know that feeling. And believe me that it’s been a challenge to stay out of those painted corners. I think that in many ways, this light piece of fluff is the hardest thing I’ve ever written. Yes, the family is wonderful. Thanks for asking.
russ – Yeah, Buffy is quite a smart-ass. I have to admit that I’m not a huge fan of hers. I don’t consistently depict her as a jerk as say, Kiwi, but she’s probably my LEAST favorite character in all of the Buffyverse. I understand that it’s her show and she’s the heroine but I just find her a bit too angsty and self-involved to truly love her.
I definitely think that in this story I’m trying to show the parallel pairings of Slayer and witch – the hand and the head/spirit as it were.

Tara seems to have a basic misconception in that she thinks "mystical being" = "demon." Well, hey, this story is all about basic misconceptions, and the problems they cause.
It might be a misconception but it’s not incorrect. Excuse season 7 reference: Buffy and Faith are part demon. So it might be a tenuous assumption but it is a correct one.
Ha ha. Yes, for Giles a stellar day. Thanks.
Mary – Yeah, it’s a nice idea although I’m not particularly turned on by the idea of Buffy and Faith. Faith yes, Buffy not so much. Yay for you being Zen Reader. Probably a much more content way to read. Thanks for thinking Ash is so cute. We’re pretty darn fond of him and (fingers crossed) the adoption is next week!
molly – Yep, some sorting going on. Hmmm … I can say that Dawn will not be spilling the beans. Ha ha. How was that?
Helen – Thanks so much. They will probably find out soon. Or maybe not… Depends on how fast I write I guess.
noellebrin – Welcome.
. I’m glad you’re enjoying all the stories. There are many good ones on this board. Yes it is has been frustrating and that has been the point. I’m glad you’ve liked it.
Grimmy – I don’t think Faith’s really the apology type but let’s assume for humanity that she apologized in the course of their patrol. Yes, Giles was definitely drooling over Tara’s journals.
I don’t think that one has to know their origin or the name for their special power to decide to do good. I think that there are millions of people who use their powers (special or “other”) everyday to help others.
Thanks for your wishes on vacation and your thorough comments.
Tempest Duer – It won’t be Dawn but Giles loves the speech. That’s why I gave it to him here. Thanks.
alysagoddess85 – Thanks for being amazed. It’s been a challenge every step of the way. Cracking?
Thanks so much.
Justin – Thanks so much. As I said, you can assume that Dawn will not be telling anything before the meeting. As usual your thoughts about the students’ comments have me
.
Shuyaku – Yes, definite progress. Ha ha to Buffy getting a tattoo. I don’t think she has the … well something for a tattoo.

Although, I still find it kind of funny that neither Faith nor Tara ask how Willow got involved - being so young and all.
I was somewhat concerned about that and made sure not to refer to Willow and Xander becoming involved when Buffy came to Sunnydale or how long Buffy’s been the slayer or anything like that.
TromDeGrey – As I said, Dawn will be spilling nothing but that sure would make life easy wouldn’t it?
veiled isis moon – Well… the next update? I’m not making anypromises. And yes, you are right, Dawn won’t tell anything.

They do need to know the truth!
. Woinderful update. Love sam xx
you!
that's just great, but why didn't Willow forget about telling? 
Even Tara thought it, I wonder how are you planning on not letting them to find out they are BOTH TEACHERS & it's perfectly ok to 
and 
.
I have to tell you that this has been the most frustrating fic and thank God they are going to figure it out soon. The suspence is part of what makes the story great though.
