His relationship to Faith, i mean think about it, he spent his time as a father figure to her, but now Faith has the chance to be there for him.
His relationship with his aunts. Despite what they said i think they brought him back like that because they felt bad for the way they neglected him as a child.
also adult man in a teenage body! how can that NOT be hilarious. and at the same time, he has regrets about his youth. this is a great time for him to not forget what he did, but maybe get a chance to not make the same mistakes again, as well as remember what it was like to BE a hormonal teenager (he'd have a new respect for all the scoobies.)
My love for this book is never ceasing. Kid!Giles, fun characters, DAT ART, the Buffy feel? My heart aches. (I stopped reading the Buffy books a while back because they just didn't feel like the show.)
Also, briefly misread Giles' line as "It's a tremendous ass."
Well, considering all the potential ways a resurrection spell could go wrong (And it was established back in the television show how these things could go wrong) I think Giles and company got off pretty easy with Giles just being a kid again. I mean the worst thing here is he has to go through puberty again.
So not only is he back as a kid, but these people use that as an excuse to talk down to him, dress him up, not take him seriously and take 'adult' things away from him like he doesn't know better ... but they actually brought him back as a child ON PURPOSE because he'd be cuter that way?
And this is treated like a comedy?
Giles is 100% right; they've MAIMED him, ruined his entire life on a fundamental level, and they all think it's funny. Quite frankly I'd say he has grounds for justifiable homicide because that's what I'D be considering.

That's it, I'll have to catch up on this now.
If only to see the inevitable ongoing adventures of teenage Giles on dates with small friends and familiars of the rest of the crew.
