Love the bit about Hammond KNOWING about the bald commanding officer "Captain Picard" jokes made in the mess, and deliberately playing it up with Walter. :)

I was about to say that Buffy needed the 3.1 ep "Anne" to realize she couldn't not be the slayer, before she could return to Sunnydale...but that's a separate issue from her relationship with her mom. Finding her for Joyce's sake, and letting them talk. That could work. I like the stories that have Dawn in them before S4, putting her in really changed Buffy's backstory quite a lot. No more an 'only child' who doesn't know how to share (as in S4, the college roommate).
Only 3 days? Maybe her friends' won't be as harsh if she's back in a week or two instead of several months. Xander in particular was really angry with her, especially over 'the hell you put your mother through' (probably about "at least you've got a family that cares..." )----
Plus, any meeting of Giles / Daniel can be fun, if they realize their knowledge areas have big overlaps.
* Yes, a fish tank would be over the top.

I've got a habit of speeding up certain story lines and slowing others down. As of the Anne Steel angle, you'll have to wait I fear. I like writing young Dawn, it makes things fun.

Giles and Daniel will be fun.

A poo. I'll have him put a Collected works of Shakespeare on a stand then...

Thanks for reviewing

it seems that the 2 half-sisters can get along quite well... they sure do share some similar opinion regarding their father...
Hammond is such a great person ^_^

Well, Janet is compassionate enough to offer to help. If they actually get along remains to be seen. I love Hammond.

Thanks for reviewing

Will they find Buffy before Janet finds out about Sunnyhell?
Next chapter may tell. :)

We will see...we wil see.

Thanks for reviewing.

Great sequel! It is more realistic that Janet and Joyce don't like each other on sight but can recognise some familyness after they have a reason to sympathise and help each other. I hope the people George sends after Buffy have a lot of sensitivity as she is feeling quite vulnerable at this time too. If some guys in uniform start chasing her she might not react well!
Either she sill end up taking down an SG team or two, or Jack will find her in the diner and make friends by telling stupid jokes or maybe defending her honor from the customers at the diner. Or maybe both!

Thank you. Janet and Joyce have enough going on that they need a shoulder to lean on. WHat are sisters for?

Jack and sensitivity? Oh dear...Well, we shall see, at any rate.

Thanks for reviewing.

Well if the Feds start looking for you it's harder to stay off the grid so they might find her. Glad to see those two bond instead of come to blows.

Good story looking forward to your next chapter.

Yes. And she´s only been gone a few days, so the trail is still hot. As someone else remarked, Janet has a soft spot for children.

Thanks for reviewing.

good

Thank you.

Thanks for reviewing.

Very nice addition to your original story. You made me cackle out loud with "Walter eyed his superior with suspicion. *He can’t know about the Captain Picard jokes we make in the Cafeteria? Surely…*". In fact I am laughing again right now. I also liked Janet being upset with how much taller Joyce is. Having Dawn and Cassy be cousins gives me all sorts of amusing thoughts. After hearing more about the sisters' father I wonder if the sisters can raise the rat-bastard and kill him again? Just pondering.

Thank you, I found it amusing myself. Janet always had a problem with her height. It will be something for her and Buffy to commisserate about.

I don´t think raising Dad is going to be top of their list. But interesting notion.

Thanks for reviewing.

These are two good stories: moving and humorous in small compass, and full of human interest. I like them a lot.

Weird Sisters. Hmm. Who's the third sister?

Thank you, they won´t have my greatest attention, but I will try to update the series.

Well, Joyce has two sisters, full blooded and Janet, so no more are needed. Ehem. Misdirection.

Thanks for reviewing.

Like the inclusion of Dawn and...the Star Trek humor (is that later seasons or did you insert that yourself?)

Anyways, nice little addition to the other story.

I added the Star Trek, as far as I know/remember only Star Wars is referenced much. I just couldn´t help myself.

Thanks, and thanks for reviewing.

Great start. I'd love to see more !

More is up, hope you enjoy that too.

Thanks for reviewing.

janet has a soft spot for children too

great update

Indeed she has, one reason why she is calling in the big guns.

Thanks for reviewing.

Good. You might want to change the crossover though. Right now it's Anime - Beserk (this seems to happen a lot for some reason).

Thanks. And I have no idea why that keeps resetting. I've never read more than five pages of Berserk.

Umm, think you got it in the wrong category... "Anime -> Berserk" instead of Stargate...

Thanks, just did it. It seems to reset to that whenever I upload any story, sometimes I forget to change it again. Hope you liked it at least.
