(Cut to Buffy exiting the magick shop. She stops in the middle of the street, staring at a window display of a beautiful wedding gown. She walks over to it, memorized. In the background, we see Riley walking by. He sees her and walks up)

RILEY: Hey, Buffy. What's up?

BUFFY: Riley, look - aren't they beautiful?

RILEY: Um, yeah.. they're nice. A little dressy, maybe.. for school, but..

BUFFY: Riley..

RILEY: Buffy?

BUFFY: I really like you. I hope you know that you mean a lot to me, and if things were different-

RILEY: Different than what?

BUFFY: I want you to promise me that we can always be friends, and I'd really like you to be there on "The Day".

RILEY: The day when..

BUFFY: The wedding!

RILEY: The wedding. What wedding?

BUFFY: My wedding! I'm getting married - can you believe it?

RILEY: I don't think "no" is a strong enough word.

BUFFY: I know! It's crazy! I mean, we fought for all these years, and then.. Sometimes you just look at someone, and you know.. You know?

RILEY: No..

BUFFY: I think maybe we fought because we couldn't admit how we really felt about each other.

RILEY: (Confused) Can we start again?

BUFFY: You'll really like him. Well, nobody really likes him..

RILEY: I just need to clear a few things up..

BUFFY: I don't even really like him..

RILEY: Buffy..

BUFFY: But.. I love him. I do.

RILEY: Who?

BUFFY: What?

RILEY: What's his name?

BUFFY: Who?

RILEY: The groom.

BUFFY: Spike!

RILEY: That's a name?

BUFFY: Don't be mad.

RILEY: I'm not mad!

BUFFY: No, you are mad!

RILEY: No, I am! Er.. I really.. Wow. Who is this guy? Does he go here?

BUFFY: Spike? (Laughs) Oh, no.. He's totally old.

RILEY: Old.

BUFFY: Well, not as old as my last boyfriend was.

RILEY: (Befuddled) Okay.. It's late.. and I'm, I'm very tired now. So, I'm just gonna go far away and be.. away.

Buff: But-

RILEY: No, stay.

(goes away)

BUFFY: You're ruining my happy day.
