to the tune of: "I Will Survive" by Gloria Gaynor. And I added a few phrases that don't really fit into the tune, but may be sung by back-up singers or something. (You'll know what I mean when you see it.)

summary: What should Buffy's reaction be to Riley's return?
spoilers: To ep 6.15, "As You Were."

notes: This is the third filk I've done, the second of which was also to "I Will Survive." I know, I know...creativity's a lost cause, but doesn't the original song itself so fit the situation? It was pretty much an answer to an "I Hate Riley" challenge, but it may or may not have been written even if there was no challenge...I'm not entirely sure.

feedback: please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please...

Die, Riley, Die!

***

I thought it was my fault, though I had my pride.
I thought it had been all my fault that you had cheated and lied.
But then I spent a few seconds, thinkin' 'bout that vamp ho.
You were real low.
And I knew you had to go!

And so you're back, from South Belize!
I really wished that you'd died from some horrible disease!
I should've scared you from this town,
By threatening to end your life.
But how was I to know that you would come back here with a wife?

Go on now fly! In your chopper!
And take your wife too!
Before I decide to pop her!
Weren't you the one who resented that I was strong?
You're a coward.
You think I wouldn't want you gone?
Oh no, you're wrong! Die, Riley, Die!
What the hell had I been thinkin' when I let you be my guy?

I've got all my life to live (with Spike)
And I've got all my love to give (to Spike)
Die, Riley, Die!
Die, Riley, Die! Hey, Hey...

It took all my will power not to kill you now.
But if you come back to the 'Dale I will, I vow.
'Cause I spent oh so many days,
Working up all this disgust. I'll just be just. (Halfrek!)
'Cause I must to what I must!

And you see me somebody strong.
I'm not gonna forgive what you did 'cause what you did was wrong.
And so you think you can come back,
And just go blow up Spike's friend's eggs.
I hate your stupid face and I want you to break both your legs!

THE END (Thank God!)
