Fish Boy was crying. They were at the Bronze and Buffy just could *not* lose the dork.

There was only one thing she could do.

Sing.

Buffy used her feminine charms (and five dollars in quarters for the pinball machine) to bribe Devon into playing her favorite new song. She waited for it to start, but then decided, what the Hell? She walked over to the stage and decided to perform it along with the band.

I'm doin' this tonight
You're probably gonna start a fight
I know this can't be right
Hey baby
Come on
I loved you endlessly
When you weren't there for me
So now it's time to leave
Hey make it alone

I know that I can't take no more
It ain't no lie
I wanna see you out that door
Baby bye bye bye\\

"What does this mean??" Riley demanded. "Why are you singing this Devil's music??"

Bye bye
Don't wanna be a fool for you
Just another player in your game for two
You may hate me but it ain't no lie
Baby bye bye bye
Bye bye
Don't really wanna make it tough
I just wanna tell ya that I've had enough
Might sound crazy but it ain't no lie
Baby bye bye bye\\

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Riley cried and began pounding his first on the table. "No, no, no!!"

Just hit me with the truth
Now girl you're more than welcome to
So give me one good reason
Baby come on
I live for you and me
And now I've really come to see
That life would be much better
Once you're gone

I know that I can't take no more
It ain't no lie
I wanna see you out that door
Baby
Bye Bye Bye\\

Buffy smiled at Riley as she wrapped up the song. She hoped, hoped, hoped he was getting it.

I'm givin' up
I know for sure
I don't wanna be the reason for your love no more
I'm checkin' out
I'm signing off
I don't wanna be the loser
And I've had enough

I don't wanna be your fool
In this game for two
So I'm leaving you behind

Bye bye bye
I don't wanna make it tough
But I've had enough
And it ain't no lie
Bye bye bye\\

Riley had passed out from the trauma so Buffy laughed at him, gave Devon a thank-you kiss and left.

Buffy got on the next bus to LA and lived happily ever with Angel, their four children and three coworkers (Doyle, Cordelia and Wesley) that just wouldn't go away.

And as for Riley, well, he died that night. How sad.

NOT!!

Nobody cares.

Baby, Bye, Bye, Bye!!!
