"You have to talk about it." Maya told her best friend as her and Isabella were in Riley's room.
"Now Maya's right you gotta talk about what happened." Isabella told Riley.
Just then Cory and Topanga walked into the room.
"Yay! Did I do something? Am I grounded? Do they have to leave?" Riley quickly asked her parents before turning to Maya and Isabella. "You two have to leave."
"No." Cory shook his head. "We're glad you three are here. We need you to babysit, Auggie."
Riley gasped exclaiming, "Babysit, Auggie! Guys we could be here all day with no time to talk-"
"Been there, done that." Maya shrugged at her best friend.
"Things could happen twice!" Riley exclaimed to us.
"Eh." Isabella shrugged.
"Unless it's an emergency we don't want to hear from you." Cory told his daughter.
"What could possibly happen?" Riley asked.
"It's babysitting." Riley shrugged. "We're old enough for things not to go wrong, especially with Izzy here, like putting too much soap in the washing machine and finding a puppy and begging 'Can we keep him, can we, can we please?' And then his owner shows up and it's this hot guy that Maya will totally like-"
"Yay!" Maya smiled.
"But he will move away because Maya can never be happy." Riley said.
"Boo!" Maya frowned as her sister chuckled.
"You see, we've got a lot going on today." Riley smiled.
"Tomorrow." Cory corrected.
"What?" Riley asked upset.
"Yeah, we need you to babysit tomorrow." Topanga nodded.
"Today we got nothing." Cory shrugged.
The two walked out of the room closing the door behind them.
The sisters dragged Riley to the bay window sitting on either side of her so she couldn't escape.
"Now that we got someone else to sort out or priorities for us." Riley smiled."We can move on to something that's actually worth talking about!"
"Something we'll enjoy talking about!" Maya said.
"Something you two will enjoy not what I'll enjoy." Riley scoffed.
"So, you got Lucas by the face-" Maya smirked.
"Help me!" Auggie rushed in room.
"Yay! Auggie do you have any problems that I can help you with?" Riley hugged Auggie.
"Well I made a new friend at school. What if Mom doesn't like him? What if she picks on him and puts him in the hallway like Ava?! What if no one is ever good enough for mommy's little boy?" Auggie looked down asking them.
"This is a thing!" Riley exclaimed with a smile.
"No it isn't." Maya shook her head. "Well, not a whole thing. We check back on this twice tops."
Riley debated it while Maya then turned to her little brother saying, "This is completely your mother's thing. Scram, kid."
Auggie got off of Riley's arms quickly jogging out of the room calling out, "Mooooom!"
Riley then trudged herself to the sisters sitting asking, "So, that's everybody we know, huh?"
"Not quite." Isabella shook her head. "You still got a friend who has issues."
Riley quickly smiled as she stared at Maya with wide eyes saying, "Oh yeah! My troubled misunderstood friend! People love your problems! You're a mess!"
"Thanks." Maya stared at her deadpan while Isabella chuckled at her sister's expression.
"Well, my problem is that we have a best friend who doesn't want to talk about the most important thing going on in her life and we don't know what to do." Maya told our best friend. "Can you help us please?"
"I kissed, Lucas." Riley sighed.
"Ya don't say." Maya and Isabella smirked.
"What happens now?" Riley asked us.
The two exchanged looks having no clue what to tell the young brunette.
ღღღ
"The new world." Cory announced to his class. "People who lived their whole lives in a certain place, travel to a new land of new feelings and new opportunities. Having no idea how to behave in this new society."
"Oh, this'll be good." Isabella smirked.
"Lucas, what did you tell him?" Riley asked Lucas instantly.
"Nothing I am also uncomfortable." Lucas gulped not looking away from the front.
"Wait, Mr. Matthews doesn't know Riley kissed Lucas?" Farkle asked Maya.
"Nope." Maya smirked.
"So everything he says is making them uncomfortable?" He asked her.
"Uh-huh." She smirked again but bigger.
"Shall we take advantage of this?"
"I don't see why not." Maya smiled.
"Very well." Farkle smiled before standing up. "So, Mr. Matthews tell me. After you've had the courage to close your eyes and take the face of the new world in your trembling hands..."
"Meep."
"What are you trying to say, Farkle?" Cory asked confused.
"Are you supposed to become a couple next or what?" Farkle asked as he leaned forward.
"What?" Riley asked more scared than confused.
"What?" Cory asked confused.
"Huh?" Lucas asked scared and confused.
"Since you don't answer my question, I will now ask Miss Maya Penelope Hart to help me out!" Farkle gestured Maya.
"Oh, no." Isabella sighed looking down. "Hope you survive this, hun."
Silence fell in the room before Sarah leaned in to Maya's desk slowly grinning as she says, "Penelope."
"Farkle." Maya turned to him with a dangerously low voice.
"It came out, it just came out, it came out, it just came out." Farkle said in a panic.
"Penelope?" Lucass smirked at Maya.
"I wouldn't do that, Friar." Isabella shook her head.
"Really Huckleberry?" Maya glared at him. "You wanna play with me right now?"
Lucas's smirked instantly fell as he stuttered, "N-no."
"Cause you've done quite enough, haven't you?" Maya asked him as she gently smooched the air.
"Maya." Riley warned our blonde best friend.
"Maya..." Lucas warned as well.
Maya smiled innocently before facing Cory, "Mr. Matthews! I think what Farkle is trying to say is... once you've kissed-"
"Meep."
Maya continued saying, "-the shores of this new world, I bet your friends from the old world will wanna hear about how the new world is and if ya don't tell them... well, that's just selfish."
"What are you trying to say, Penelope?" Cory asked her confused again.
Maya quickly glared at him before leaning in asking, "Are you suppose to be a couple next or what?"
"Okay, what's going on here?" Cory asked very desperately.
"Nothing! Could we just for once read from the book?" Riley asked grabbing her health book reading a page from it. "The boy and the girl had no idea of the changes they would soon be facing. Everything was different including their own bodies... what the-"
"You're reading your health book." Maya and Isabella chuckled.
Riley quickly threw the book to the floor.
"Word of warning page 73. I don't understand." Farkle said looking scared and confused. "It makes no sense. It looks impossible."
"You have too many mental scares, hunny." Isabella shook her head.
"Riley, what's going on here?" Cory asked his daughter.
"Farkle, kissed my cheek!" Maya told Cory trying to get the attention from Riley.
"You did?" Cory asked Farkle.
"It was glorious." Farkle nodded.
"It was magical." Maya smiled. "I went back home questioning everything."
"She didn't even clock him." Isabella smiled.
"Riley, where were you when this cheek kissing was happening." Cory asked his daughter.
"Nowhere with no-one doing nothing with nobody." Riley stiffly looked away from her father's eyes.
Cory tilted his head before moving over to Lucas's seat. Lucas sweetly smiled at him before climbing over two desk and running out of the classroom.
"Wow, he's a runner." Isabella chuckled at her friend.
Cory moved back to his daughter while Riley asked without turning, "Auggie now?"
"I don't see where else we can go." The sisters smirked.
ღღღ
Later on that school day Maya and Isabella were watching the girls from Maya and Riley's class surrounded Riley with smiling faces.
"Everyone stop looking at me." Riley told them trying to get away.
"Tell us." Sarah told Riley.
"I don't kiss and tell." Riley rolled her eyes.
"Did you kiss?" Darby asked her.
"Yes." Riley nodded blushing a bit.
"Tell." Darby told her as the girls looked excited.
"Take your time." Sarah smiled as everyone nodded.
"Nothing happened, Maya, back me up here." Riley told her blonde best friend.
Maya before turning away from the others wrapping her arms around herself making kissing noises as her sister chuckles.
"That's inaccurate." Riley shook her head.
Maya turn back to them putting her palms on her cheeks and kissed the air softly.
"Yeah, that's about right." Riley blushed.
Isabella was between the two groups so she heard what both were saying.
"So, what's the next thing you guys are suppose to do?" Farkle asked Lucas.
"Suppose to do?" Lucas asked before turning to Isabella. "What are there rules?"
Isabella just shrugged in response not knowing how to answer.
"I don't know." Farkle shrugged. "But I don't see how you can kiss someone and not be with one after."
"You kissed my little sister's cheek, Farkle." Isabella reminded him.
"That's right." Farkle smiled nodding before grabbing a box from his pocket opening it. "And I already got her a ring after we left the subway."
Everyone looked at the ring in shock as it looked very expensive.
"Oh my gosh, Farkle." Isabella stared at the ring in shock.
"How much was that?" Lucas asked his best friend.
"78 thousand dollars." Farkle answered. "But I got it for free."
"How?" Lucas and Isabella asked him.
"Because that's the ring my mom keeps throwing at my father." Farkle responded with a smile as Isabella raised an eyebrow. "She usually wants it back by Thursday, so I got to work fast."
Isabella shook her head before turning over to the girl's conversation.
"So..." Sarah started. "Are you guys boyfriend and girlfriend now? What are ya?"
"What are ya?" Darby repeated.
"I don't know." Riley looked nervous. "Do we have to be something?"
"Not if you don't want to." Isabella shook my head.
"Well, you did kiss him." Sarah reminded her.
"What are ya?" Darby asked again.
"Look it just happened." Maya told them. "She isn't sure what it all means yet."
"You guys are meant to be together. You're perfect!" Darby happily sighed. "Just like me and Yogi." Yogi then walked by and Darby lifted him into her arms. "Yogles!"
"Will Lucas and I ever have what they have?" Riley asked us.
"Boy, I hope not." Isabella and Maya shook their heads.
"You know, Riles, they do have a point." Maya agreed with them. "I mean you like him, he likes you there was a kiss."
"I will not act under peer pressure." Riley shook her head before she leaned in to Maya and Isabella. "Unless you guys think I should."
Just then the girls got behind Riley forming a kind of huddle.
"I will not give in to peer pressure." Lucas shook his head.
"What if we carry you?" Farkle asked him.
"I'd like to see you try." Lucas told him as Isabella laughed at the thought.
"Darby." Farkle nodded to the girl.
Both Darby and Farkle carried Lucas, who kept protesting, over to Riley and the other girls.
"What are ya?" Darby asked the two of them.
"What are we?" Riley asked Lucas as everyone was watching them.
"Are we boyfriend and girlfriend?" Lucas asked her nervously.
"Are we?" Riley asked him nervously as well.
"I don't know." Lucas answered. "You wanna?"
"Don't know." Riley responded. "You think maybe."
"Wanna?" Lucas asked her again.
"Are they weird or adorable?" Sarah asked confused as was everyone.
"No, me and Yogi are weird." Darby smiled as she and Yogi looked at each other before turning to Rucas. "They're adorable."
"What just happened?" Riley asked confused. "Do I have my first boyfriend?"
"I don't know." Farkle smiled. "What just happened?"
"I don't know." Maya smiled. "Can't wait to see what happens next."
"You and me both sister." Isabella said to herself.
Farkle then got down on one knee turning to Maya showing her the ring causing everyone to turn to them.
Farkle waved the ring in front of Maya making her following it with wide eyes and a smile.
ღღღ
"Okay here we are." Riley stated as her and Lucas were sitting on a bench in front of the staircase while everyone kept staring at them. "What happens now?"
"You go on a date after school." Sarah told them.
"You sit there and look at each other all stupid. Like this." Darby told them before she turned to Yogi smiling.
"Stop." Lucas told everyone. "You're not telling us what to do. We're not you, we're us. We do what we do."
"Yeah, we do what we do." Riley nodded before whispering to Lucas. "What do we do?"
Lucas didn't know what to do so he eventually turned to Isabella who stayed.
She felt eyes on her so she looked up from her phone seeing everyone staring at her but especially Lucas and Riley with desperation.
"Okay." Isabella sighed putting her phone away. "Let's go."
Isabella walked out the school with Lucas and Riley following her but so did everyone else.
ღღღ
Isabella didn't want to go on Riley and Lucas's date so she went to the Matthews house.
"What is it in you that makes you do this?" Cory asked his wife.
"You've known her all your life and now is when you ask her?" Isabella asked the grown man.
"His name is Dewey." Topanga told her husband before turning to Isabella. "Come on you agree, don't you?"
"I just call the kid Doy." Isabella shrugged. "He's happy, I get on with my life and in the end of the day I reward myself with a cookie."
"Why can't you agree with her way?" Cory asked his wife pointing to Isabella. "What's the difference in what his name is? He says his name is Doy and he wants to be called Doy. So we call him Doy because he says his name is Doy. And Doy is a guest at our house, so will you let go of your need to be right all the time and just call the kid Doy. I mean Isa did it."
"Yeah, because Auggie asked me to." Isabella smiled at the little kid. "If it was anyone else I'd be on Topanga's side."
"Doy?" Dewey asked sticking his head out.
"Can I please talk to you for a minute?" Topanga asked him sweetly.
"I wouldn't." Auggie shook his head.
"I wouldn't either." Cory shook his head agreeing with his son.
"Come here." Topanga waved the kid over.
Dewey walked up to her with a scared expression as Topanga kept waving to him. Once he was close to her Topanga put the kid on help lap.
"Okay, here's what's going to happen next." Topanga smiled. "Do you know what my name is called?"
"Auggie's mommy." Dewey answered.
"Topanga." Topanga told the little kid.
"You're just trying to make me feel better." Dewey told her.
"You think you have a funny name?" Topanga asked him. "I have a funny name too and when I was a little girl I could never understand why my parents we do that to me."
"I know right." Dewey agreed with her.
"But then I found out that they love my very much." Topanga smiled. "They gave me a name that was very important to them. Do you know what your name means?"
Dewey shook his head.
"Every morning when the sun comes up, the grass is wet and that water is a gift from the flowers to the grass. So they can grow and they can make the world more beautiful." Topanga explained. "You were given your name because you make your parents life more beautiful. Do you understand me?"
Dewey nodded to her showing he does understand her.
"Do you what that water is called that is there for the grass that is there every morning for you every morning before you wake up?" Topanga asked him.
"Yes." Dewey nods his head.
"What is it?" Topanga asked him with a smile.
"Morning Doy." Dewey responded causing Isabella to hold a smirk trying not to laugh.
"Okay, get out of here Doy." Topanga told him.
The two little boys cheered running to Auggie's room.
"He broke ya." Cory smiled.
"Yeah he did." Topanga said grumpily.
Isabella couldn't hold it anymore so she laughed.
"You have gotten a four hundred pound man to confess to his crimes but you can't get a little kid to say his name the way you want to." Isabella laughed as Topanga pouted.
"You know, Topanga, one of the things I've learned from being a teacher is that sometimes you just got to let the kids live." Cory told his wife.
Topanga and Isabella shared a look knowing when it comes to Riley it's a different story.
Just then Riley and Lucas entered the apartment holding hands awkwardly causing the two adults and older teen to turn to them.
"Thank you very much, Lucas, I had a wonderful time." Riley thanked him.
"You're welcome, Riley." Lucas smiled nervously. "I also had a wonderful time as well."
"This hurts me." Isabella shook her head. "It physically hurts me."
"Okay, what are you kids doing?" Topanga asked.
"You guys look very awkwardly." Isabella commented.
"And stiff." Topanga added. "Is this about the kiss I heard about?"
"What?!" Cory exclaimed as Topanga and Isabella ignored him walking over to the two.
"Everybody pressuring you to be something you're not ready for." Topanga guessed.
"Not ready!" Cory shook his head.
"Please stop holding hands." Isabella begged. "You guys look crazy."
"You two are a part of the best group of friends I've ever seen." Topanga told the two. "And if you're going to let some stupid outside pressure hurt that, than you're not anywhere as smart as I thought you were."
"But sometimes the pressure can turn you into a diamond." Riley defended.
"Yeah." Topanga nodded. "And the wrong pressure can turn you into dust."
"Do you guys want to be dust?" Isabella asked them.
"I don't want to be dust." Riley shook her head turning to Lucas. "Lucas."
"I really like you, Riley." Lucas told her.
"We always have such a great time together." Riley smiled.
"We should break up." Lucas nodded.
"We should break up right now." Riley nodded. "This has been my longest relationship."
"Hey, Riley, do you have to be home?" Lucas asked her.
Topanga shook her head once Riley turned to her.
"No." Riley smiled. "We can go somewhere and talk."
"I'd like that." Lucas nodded.
"Yeah like you used to when it was easy." Topanga smiled.
The two younger teens left the apartment as Isabella closed the door.
"Let the kids live, huh?" Topanga asked her husband walking over to him. "Let the kids live, huh. Huh! Dewey! Get back here, we're not done, Dewey!" She walked over to her son's room.
"Run, Doy!" Cory warned the boy.
ღღღ
"Hey." Riley called everyone's attention as her and Lucas were at the top of the staircase. "Lucas and I are friends. We are what we've always been. And we're not going to let you guys hurt that just because you guys want us to become something we're not. So go back to your own lives because no one is going to tell us how to live ours."
Maya and Farkle had then walked by wearing a wedding dress and tux shocking everyone but Isabella who was with them when they got the outfits.
"Sup." Maya nodded to Riley tossing the bouquet to Isabella walking to class with Farkle.
Riley looked at Isabella with a huge smile already imagining Isabella's and Joshua's wedding.
Isabella noticed the smile and chuckled nervously.
"Yeah, I'm just going to go." Isabella smiled nervously passing the bouquet to Darby going to Cory's class.
Lucas and Riley smiled walking to the class after Isabella as Darby and Yogi smiled at each with the bouquet.
ღღღ
Later that night Isabella was at her apartment on her bed watching some tv when she received a text.
'Hey, Belle :)' ~Josh
Isabella smiled at the text without knowing it.
'Hey, Josh :) how are you?' ~Belle
'Doing fine just some homework and games here and there'~Josh
'That sounds like some fun'~Belle
'Hey are you cool to talk?' ~Josh
'Yeah I'm just at my place' ~Belle
Joshua smiled at their texts happy they have slowly gotten better especially since during the summer they've spent a lot of time together.
He had quickly pressed the facetime call button ringing her up.
"Hey." Isabella smiled.
"Hey." Joshua smiled. "So what have you been up to today."
"Well, today Riley and Lucas have been pressured into becoming a couple so they did become one and went on a date but when they came to Riley's house they looked all awkward. Topanga then made them realize that they're not ready to become a couple so they ended in good terms. I also witness Topanga losing to a little kid."
Joshua chuckled at the last comment knowing how his sister-in-law was.
"That sounds interesting." Joshua chuckled.
"It was." Isabella chuckled. "But that's not it. Farkle asked Maya to marry him and earlier today they showed up wearing a wedding gown and a tux." The two shared a shared a laugh. "But when Maya threw the bouquet I caught it." She lightly blush which she didn't notice.
Joshua took notice of her actions making him smile even more.
"So, when are we getting married?" Joshua asked her his smile never leaving.
"We haven't even gone on another date." Isabella chuckled. "Plus we've already got married."
"True but we were two now we can have a better one and maybe even have that honeymoon." Joshua sent her a wink making her look down giggling a bit. "And on the date subject. If I were to ask you would you maybe consider going on one with me?"
Isabella took in his question debating on it.
"Maybe." Isabella shrugged smiling a bit. "But that depends."
"On?" Joshua asked.
"If there'd be food or not." Isabella answered.
"Oh, they'll definitely be food there." Joshua nodded seriously causing them to share a laugh.
The two spent the night talking to each other sharing laughs going back to some memories. When Isabella had started getting sleepy they didn't hung up they were on the phone until they both were asleep with smiles on their faces.
