They walk home like that. Maya with Farkle and her bike in hand, Riley with her blades slung over her shoulder, slipping every few minutes. She holds onto the boy, and they walk home silently until they reach Riley's house.

Mr. Matthews comes to the door, and takes the bikes and skates before lifting Farkle from Riley's care.

They don't let go of each other's hands. With Riley's extra free one, she grips Maya's hand and the two best friends smile at what they have. A family.

When Topanga finishes patching Farkle up, the three sit on the Matthews' couch, eating ice cream and watching movies. They're asleep in under thirty minutes.

Maya's the first one to go, leaving Riley and Farkle drowsy and closing their eyes.
