Complete story — includes the ending

Buffy day-dreams of saving Parker's life with her slaying skills, and him begging forgiveness for the way he treated her. Xander gets a job bartending at the college Pub, enduring a clique of snobby and mean clientele. Buffy ends up drowning her sorrows, drinking with the elitist college boys who like her, but they all begin to act oddly. Xander works out that the bar-manager, seeking revenge after years of bad-mannered arrogance from some of the student patrons, has been spiking their foamy beer with some supernatural mojo, causing the recipients to revert to caveman / woman mentality. Buffy's Parker dream comes true.
