Great story. Nice use of Rack... and she really does need to learn how to control her powers. It's sad, unlike in Anita B's world, she can't just get training, since people don't believe in the supernatural, even though if anything it's more prevalent than in her world..... Hopefully she will be back. Huh, 1998 she'd be graduating.... I sure hope she meets someone in college who can train her up. An animator would be dead useful (joke) to Buffy & company. Note the single appearance of one on Angel, they can control vamps almost effortlessly it seems---(in this 'verse) Somehow she has to get into vamp-hunting... AB was very much into weapons: guns, knives, etc etc. I'd like to see that in Sunnydale---(also find out how she got in this 'verse)- Sequel!

Very nice, I hope the sequel is being worked on because there are still a lot of questions; what exactly caused Anita to (I assume) be reborn in the BtVS world, will she ever get back and how will her presence, even as far away as St. Louis effect canon BtVS?

Good story, I really enjoyed it. So is it over now, or are you thinking of a sequel? Is the St Louis Anita is heading off to the same one Jean Claude comes from or is she drawn there because of the familiarity from her alternate dimention?
As for Rack, it was a good enough portayal of him to guess who he was (especially from the nickname).

Nice story! Liking the interaction between Xander and Anita, so sweet, so cruel...(the clown thing lol).
But all I can think is... poor Harrises! Well maybe... just have to hope that Anita wont turn into St Louis' supernatural communal bike in this... lol. She's such a ho in the books, but then again if you do, do it that way, it would be fun to see how Xander would handle it. Whatever you do, write more soon!

First, I like the story. Second, this deserves a sequel.
My uptake of the story. I don't think that Anita died and was reincarnated as Xander's Sister. I think she was on the brink of death and got comatosed or something like that. And that 'Powers That Be'/Willow let her 'live' those memories as Xander's sister to help him when Xander is 'banished' to her reality. And Xander probably has the same 'memories' implanted in his brains or he got memories from 'Xander Blake'.

I like how Xander having an older sister helps him fight off the bullies and gives him someone to lean on during the Harris fights. I don't understand how Anita's pretty mean clown trick the night of his birthday was supposed to be some kind of present. If you ever do write a story in this 'verse (as opposed to these shorts), I would definitely read it.
Comments from author:
The clown was actually her revenge against Xander about the first part of 1991. I'm glad you like my shorts. I am thinking about writing something longer, a story about this with Anita as a Harris. I hope they keep being enjoyable. :) Thanks for reviewing.

Are you talking about the deal at the end or the second part?
This part is revenge for the first part of 1991 where Xander conned Anita into doing a play and embarrassing herself. At the end when Anita shakes hands it's with the boy who played the clown in the house, it was a set up by Anita. She paid him to do it. I hope that clears things up.
Thank you for reading
