BUFFY: Hi, all. Sorry about the late-itude.

XANDER: Late? Really? Huh. Hadn't noticed.

RILEY: Hope you don't mind us tagging along.

WILLOW: (forced smile) No. No, of course not. The more the . . . more.

RILEY: This is Graham. This is Forrest. That's Kevin. And that's Jay in the back.

GRAHAM: How you doing.

RILEY: We're gonna go grab some drinks. Anybody want anything?

BUFFY: Coke, please.

WILLOW: I'm good.

XANDER: No.

ANYA: (frowns) We're going away. To dance. Over there.

XANDER: (being dragged away) We are?

BUFFY: Anya seems a bit on edge.

WILLOW: She's a little angsty around commando-types. Ex-demon issues.

BUFFY: Oh. (points to the guys) You know, I didn't think that you would mind. Riley and the guys were throwing a little impromptu celebration in my honor and made it, like, impossible to not invite them.

WILLOW: Oh. That's neat about the celebrating. I just thought this was supposed to be, you know, just us. Just the scooby corps., you know. I mean, I could have invited somebody else if I knew it was an open free-for-all.

BUFFY: I'm sorry. I had no idea. My *total* bad. (grins) So, who did you want to invite?

WILLOW: What?

BUFFY: You said you wanted to invite someone.

WILLOW: (nervously) No. Not-- no one. I meant a hypothetical someone which is to say no one.
