My answer?
They'd go off for some shopping and chat away at how dumb their guy friends and siblings are. Then they'd go into tag-team kickboxing and remain undefeated for their entire run, retire early, and use their combined fortunes to fund some much needed sequals of their own.
No, I am not insane, I am crazy. Thank you for asking.

Who says River doesn't have the Slayer lineage?
Anyway, points are good either way. But, why are Buffy and River fighting? They both fight on the side of good. Try these.
River vs Faith
River vs. Glory
River vs. Dark Willow
How about them odds!
"No.....THIS is what going mad feels like.

Buffy and River wouldn't stand a chance against dark Willow and her magics.

Buffy wins hands down and here is why. In the lost slayer series buffy's mentor giles is turned into a vampire. He is now very similar to river. Because he trained Buffy he knows all of her movements. This is very much like River with her being able to read Buffy's mind. Giles was also as stronge and as fast as Buffy where as River is neither and Giles was smarter then Buffy like River. And hey geuss what? Buffy kicked Giles ass.
River can take on 25 reavers. Ok well Buffy can take on 5-9 vamps. The reavers are still humans with no experience in fighting just like the vamps. But the vamps can take on like 8 humans unarmed. So if buffy can take on 5-9 vamps and one of them can take on 8 reavers, that means buffy can take on up to like 72 reavers. As I said Buffy wins hands down.
But i still think they should fight together...
What was that??

huh i am not really a fan of sarah m gellar, but i'm pretty sure river will beat the snot out of her. River is a bit unpredictable she will chop at your juggular before you take another breath. buffy will go down. Man, river be fighting reavers.

reavers do know how to fight and they crave the same thing that vamps do. But reavers are more sadistic they rape and eat you alive. vamps are sophisticated they go for direct bloodsucking kill.

River and Buffy get into a fight.
No weapons- only bare hands.
Who would win??

Ok...before I give my 2 credits' worth, let's look at the combatants, shall we?
River Tam
Age: 17
Background: Dancer and independent scholar
Abilities: Heightened reflexes, advanced combat training, empathic if not telepathic abilities, precognition, advanced intelligence and tactical skills, unstable mental state
Number of kills: 1 creepy-ass doctor played by Joss (impalement of pen through trachea); 3 guards at Niska's Skyplex (gunshot wounds to vital areas); 1+ bar patrons (gunshot wounds plus several possible fatal strikes from hand-to-hand moves); and approximately 20+ Reavers (eviscerated via commandeered melee weapons)
Elizabeth Anne "Buffy" Summers
Age: 22-23
Background: Cheerleading, gymnastics
Abilities: Heightened speed, strength and agility; precognition; extrasensory perception of demonic forces; above average intelligence
Number of kills: 0 humans; 250+ vampires, 1 Hellgod; 1+ (been awhile since I've seen S7 completely) Turok-Han ubervampire; 1 serpent demon; and 1 human-demon-cyborg hybrid.
So...in the end, the fight would be close...but I give it to River. Mainly cuz of the kills stats for humans. River (including her time under a fugue state) has offed 25+ humans; Buffy has never killed a human being.
I would hypothesize that Buffy would pull punches at first, since River's human. This gives River the opportunity to make some nasty opening moves that force Buffy to up the ante. This means the fight equals out, with Buffy's higher strength cancelling out River's strike accuracy. However, River can sense the focus from Buffy in deliving strikes that will take River down without killing, so she blocks said shots. Stamina factors in, so River knows she's got to finish up before her edge starts weakening from exhaustion and slower healing powers. Then River just goes completely apeshit and lays Buffy out. Cuz River is a dangerous little lady when pushed to her limits. 'Specially if the lives of the crew are at stake.

wow!! i'm so proud!! my little thread has become a topic of hot discussion!!!
i have decided (as the creator of this thread) that i am going to add a scenario as to WHY they are fighting.
So Willow figures out a way to time travel, but with no accuracy of destination. they end up on Haven (pre-BDM)while the crew are having a visit. River immediately senses something, notices the presence of Dark Willow inside our loevly dear normal Willow, and goes ape-**** attacking her. Buffy of course goes to defend her (thinking River is probably a demon) and they fight, River determined to kill anyone who is a threat to the crew, and Buffy determined to kill anyone who is a threat to her friends.
And now, the argument continues. By adding these extra factors (protecting the ones they love) it should up the ante of their fight.
Have fun!!!!

Ooh...that makes things interesting! Hmm...Gonna have to re-evaluate the scenario...
*punches new data in the Whedonverse Fight Computer and waits for an answer*
And the result is....too pornographic to mention?!? 'Cuse me a sec...
*wails on the Computer, which spits a new answer*
Now then! The result is...River, cuz of Willow!
Alright...let's see about the logic:
- River senses Willow's dark personality and it provokes her as a danger to crew safety
- Buffy notices River rushing up and tries to stop her
- Short scuffle forces separation for re-orientation of attack plans
- River lays out a cryptic comment about Dark Willow, causing Buffy to open her can of verbal whoopass by snidely remarking on a need for Spike to translate for Drusilla Junior (or something of that nature, since I ain't the dialogue maven Joss is)
- Allies of combatants line up behind fighters, with Willow working up a spell or two for release and the Gunfighter Trio (Mal, Zoë and Jayne) expose some iron
- Simon tries to reason with River, provoking a variation on the cryptic comment noted earlier about Willow's dark side
- Buffy (or Willow) throws out comment about how that isn't his sister anymore or to stand back while River gets her ass kicked
- Blistering fight begins with Buffy laying into River and River taking the punishment before giving it back (quantity vs. quality…guess who represents what mentality?)
- Mal, Zoë and Jayne take aim at Buffy but Willow zaps them, disarming them
- Seeing her friends in trouble, River kicks it into endgame mode and grapples with Buffy
- Buffy seems to get the upper hand when River slackens her grip, and starts to go for her stake when….
- River spins and grabs Buffy in an arm lock long enough to replicate The Operative’s nerve cluster pinch, paralyzing her and allowing River to knock her out with a brutal right cross (see start of slo-mo shot of River fighting Reavers in BDM to get idea of shot’s strength) before…
- Grabbing Mr. Pointy and hurling it at a momentarily stunned Willow like a tomahawk, which strikes her in the forehead (blunt end making contact) hard enough to induce unconsciousness!
So...there ya have it! River wins and neither "enemy" party is dead...yet;)

If the rest of the crew are around then there are firearms within reach of River.
Bang.
If River is not prepared to kill Willow, there is no point in attacking her, so no combat.
Might not make her very popular, I admit.
