Thank you very much! I really can't help cracking jokes even when I'm trying to be serious; I think it's an afliction...or possible an infection ~g~

Oh, yeah, Spike knows he's an evil genius. Hee!

Glad you enjoyed the fight scene. I do like to write action even though it can be very tricky, and I really did experiment with this to try and make it more directly from Spike's POV than from a simple narration.

And hopefully Xander did mind his toes. ~g~
