Girl Meets World: The Next Generation

People Change People

In the kitchen of a New York apartment, Riley sits down at a breakfast table with her husband Farkle and son Gabriel.

Riley: So.. first day of the 8th grade. Are you nervous, Honey?

Gabriel: Are you, Mom?

Riley: Yeah, yeah.. I'm really scared.

Farkle: Relax, you're both going to do great.

Riley: I don't know.. it's my first time teaching in twelve years. Maybe going back to work was a bad idea.

Farkle: We talked about this, you said you wanted to make a difference. To be able to prepare kids to go out in the world.. like your Dad did with us.

Gabriel: Didn't you hate having Grandpa as your teacher?

Riley: At first.. but when the time came for someone else to be my teacher I realized I didn't want to let him go.

Outside Riley and Farkle's apartment, Maya, Lucas and their daughter Scarlett approach the front door.

Scarlett: Why are we stopping here? I thought we were going straight to school.

Lucas: Scarlett they're our best friends. We've barely seen them since we moved to Texas.

Maya: Arn't you excited to see Gabe? You guys used to be so close.

Scarlett: That was when we were 4.. and just because our parents are best friends doesn't mean we have to be.

Lucas: Just be nice, okay?

Scarlett: I'm always nice.

Lucas: No, I mean nicer than your normal.. you know what just fake it, okay.

Scarlett: Fine. Lets just hurry, please.

Maya: Okay, okay. You know she gets that impatience from you.

Maya knocks on the door. They wait a minute but no one answers. Maya bangs on the door harder.

Maya: Come on we've been waiting out here forever!

Lucas: Yep.. she definitely gets it from me.

Maya: Well we came all the way from Texas to see them and they leave us standing out here in the cold!

Lucas: It's seventy five degrees. 

Maya: You're a veterinarian not a weather man.

Inside the apartment Riley and Farkle both head for the door.

Riley: What are you doing?

Farkle: I was gonna get the door.

Riley: But I was gonna get the door.

Farkle: You always get to answer the door.

Maya (From outside the apartment): Well somebody get the door already!

Riley opens the door.

Maya: It's about time.

Riley: Peaches!

Riley and Maya hug.

Riley: I'm so glad you guys are back in New York.

Lucas: So are we.

Scarlett clears her throat. Everyone turns to look at her.

Maya: Well maybe not everyone.
