John Quincy Adams Middle School
Recording Room
Elliot, Maya, and Riley were sitting behind the counter.
Riley was rehearsing her opening monologue.
"Hi, I'm Riley Matthews, and these are your John Quincy Adams Middle School morning announcements, " Riley practiced.
"Why are you even rehearsing?" Maya asked.
"I'm going to get it perfect this time, " Riley told her.
Elliot snorted.
"Are you making fun of me?" Riley turned to her twin.
"No, " Elliot said with a serious face.
A moment passed.
"Yeah, " Elliot laughed.
Riley glared at him.
"Awww, you're adorable when you try to glare, " Elliot pinched her cheeks.
Riley smiled innocently.
"And you're on, " the camera guy told them.
They were on air.
"Hewo, I'm Miley Flatshoes and these are your flurning amousenits, " Riley messed her monologue.
Elliot and Maya laughed.
"Today's lunch in the cafamatorium will be hot males, " Riley reported.
Elliot and Maya continued to laugh.

Farkle came in.
"Hello, news ladies and Elliot!" Farkle greeted them.
"Carpool!" Riley pointed to Farkle.
"Far... carpool?!" Maya laughed.
"Well, at least she didn't turn him into a girl this time, " Elliot laughed as he remembered last time Riley called him Francie.
Farkle sat between the twins and pulled out his flashcards.
"And here's your Farkle Science Moment. The Junior Entomology Society has once again nominated me for a Buggie Award for my research paper on the orange dancing spider, " Farkle announced.
"Congrats, Dr. Farklestein. I hope this is your year, " Maya turned to him.
"Oh, I never win, " Farkle frowned.
Elliot patted his back as a sign of comfort.
"Awesome. Wish I could go, but I don't wanna and I'm sure tickets are impossible, " Maya told him.
"I have two, " Farkle pulled out two tickets.
"Then I just don't wanna, " Maya shook her head.
"Awesome. Which one of you will be Farkle's choice?" Farkle asked.
"Wait, but I go with you every year, " Elliot pointed out with a frown.
"I was hoping to take one of the girls this year, " Farkle told Elliot.
Elliot put a hand over his heart.
"I've been rejected, it hurts. Is this how all the girls I go out with feel like?" Elliot asked.

"Yes!" All the girls in the classroom shouted at the screen.
Cory jumped due to the sudden response.

"I'm telling the world. Farkle must finally choose between his sweet angel whose smile lights a path to goodness, " Farkle smiled at Riley.
Farkle suddenly stood up and slowly walked to Maya
"Or my dark demon who unleashes in me something so terrifying I really wanna know what it is, " Farkle smirked at Maya.
"Thanks and I'm not gonna be there when you find out, Carpool, " Maya said the last part while looking at the camera.
"And there it is, John Quinciatti," Riley added.
Maya and Elliot began laughing uncontrollably.
"Flankle juices bequeen yama and symelf, " Riley ended the show.
Elliot and Maya continued to laugh and almost fell over.
"Yama? Elmo?" Riley asked.

"Who's the greatest ally of the United States? Farkle?" Cory asked.
"I'd like to help you, sir, but I got a lot of things on my mind, " Farkle told him.
"Are you tense, Farkle? Is it Buggie Award season?" Cory asked.
"Yes, and I know that once I've chosen between Riley and Maya for the dinner, I'll actually be letting the other one go, " Farkle sighed.
"I'll go. I'll go right now, " Maya smiled.
"I think it will be sad when Farkle doesn't love us both the same, " Riley frowned.
"Yes, one of you will be crushed. You will, however, receive the Farkle home game as a consolation prize, " Farkle smiled.
"Ooh, what's that?" Riley asked.
"It's this game where the loser goes...'Farkle'," Farkle fake sobbed at the end while extending his arm.
"Or you could just go with me and prevent all this drama, " Elliot suggested.
"Sorry buddy, " Farkle patted Elliot's shoulder sympathetically.
Elliot frowned.
"So who is the greatest ally of the United States?" Cory asked.
"Ask Farkle, " Sarah told Cory.
Farkle sighed and stood up.
"Canada. You want me to say Canada. You want to explain why or do I have to do everything?" Farkle asked and sat down.
"Everything. You love that, " Cory smiled at him.
"Look, I really want one of you at the Buggies with me to pick me up when I lose again to my archnemesis Smackle, " Farkle told the girls.
Riley chuckled.
"Smackle? What kind of parents name their kid 'Smackle,' Farkle?" Riley asked amusingly.
"Riley, " Elliot said in a scolding tone.
"Oh, " Riley frowned after she realized her mistake.
Farkle frowned.
"It's just interesting that all of our thoughts turn to other allies first when Canada is right next to us. Perhaps it's because we know they'll always be there for us that we take them for granted, " Cory told the class.
"Kinda like Farkle with these two, " Elliot pointed at Riley and Maya.
"What's that suppose to mean?" Maya scoffed.
Elliot just smiled innocently at her.
'Farkle, I'm going to make the ultimate sacrifice and let you go with Riley, " Maya turned to Farkle.
"Yeah, well, I'm going to make the ultimate sacrifice and let you go with Maya, " Riley told Farkle.
"I decide! You hear me? This game is Farkle's choice. Prepare to go through the emotional gauntlet of love, " Farkle said in a deep voice.
"Okay, " Maya and Riley said awkwardly in unions.
"Go easy on Canada girls, " Elliot told Riley and Maya.
"Give me a couple of days and you're gonna ask me to go easy on them. Just you wait, " Farkle told Elliot.
Elliot rolled his eyes. _______________________________________
Matthews Apartment
Topanga gathered all of Auggie's friends for a children's book club.
Topanga was in the kitchen with Ava's mom Judy putting out strawberries as snacks.
Cory was grading paper on the dinner table.
"Judy, I'm so glad you were able to join our little book club. Auggie is such a fan of your daughter
Ava," Topanga smiled.
"Oh well, who isn't?" Just asked in a British accent.
"Me, " Topanga mouthed.
"And I must say, what a surprisingly decent idea, Topanga. I think a book club is such a wonderful forum to exchange ideas and intellectual conversation, " Judy said in a British accent as she ate a strawberry from the plate of snacks.
"Judy, are you British?" Topanga asked.
"No, I'm just better than everyone else, " Judy replied.
"Wow. Well, I see where your daughter gets her confidence, " Topanga chuckled as they both walked back to the circle of kids.
"Oh, and Auggie is such a lovely little girl as well, " Judy smiled.
Auggie gave her a weirded out look.
"Auggie is a boy, " Topanga replied with her arms crossed.
"Oh. I've never really looked at her, " Judy replied while giggling.
"Ucch, " Topanga made a disgusted noise.
Judy and Topanga sat next to their kids.
"Okay, everyone, I hope we all enjoyed our first book, 'Murray the Marvelous Moose.' So who would like to start?" Topanga asked the group.
"Ava, " Judy pointed to Ava.
"Oh boy, " Topanga muttered.
"Murray the moose discovers his self-worth in a world constantly challenging his sense of..." Ava soon turned to her mother.
"Identity, " Judy fake coughed.
"...Identity, " Ava fake coughed.
"Mmm. An interesting and I'm sure well-rehearsed interpretation, " Topanga remarked.
Topanga then did a polite fake cough
"What are you implying?" Judy asked in a British accent.
"I'm not implying anything, " Topanga replied in a mocking British accent.
"I'm saying it right in yo' face, " Topanga added in her normal voice.
Judy looked offended.
"So who has a different take? Auggie?" Topanga asked.
"I ated one of the pages, " Auggie smiled at Topanga.
Topanga looked embarrassed.
"I'm not with him for his brains, " Ava shook her head.
Auggie grabbed a juice box from the center of the circle.
"Check out that tush, " Ava smirked.
"Oh! Ava!" Topanga gasped.
"I'm okay with it, mom, " Auggie smiled as he grabbed the book again.
"All right, Ava, would you like to read an excerpt from the book?" Judy asked her daughter.
"One day, Murray the moose woke up and didn't want to be a moose anymore, " Ava read.
"So good. So good. That was really very good. Yes. Now, Auggie, it's your turn, " Topanga faked smiled at Ava and then turned to Auggie.
"I like it better when you read to me, mommy, " Auggie told her.
"Aren't you a little old for that?" Judy asked.
"Am I, mommy?" Auggie turned to Topanga.
"No, " Topanga replied empathically as she stared at Judy.
"It's all right, Topanga. It's a scientifically-proven fact that boys develop at a different pace, " Judy told her as she patted Ava's shoulder.
From the kitchen Cory was having trouble putting a straw in a juice box.

Farkle was speed dating both Riley and Maya.
Farkle we currently sitting with Riley as she was drinking (or rather eating) her smoothie.
"Thank you for my smoothie, " Riley thanked him.
"Extra thick so you can eat it with a spoon, " Farkle smiled.
"You know me very well, " Riley giggled.
"That giggle is my favorite sound in the world, " Farkle smiled.
Riley smiled back at him.
"I know I've told you I've loved you since the first grade, but I don't think I've ever told you why, " Farkle smiled.
"Farkle..." Riley began.
"Hold that thought, " Farkle said and then turned to Maya's table.
"Have a little pretzel with your mustard, Maya. I know how you like it, " Farkle smirked at Maya as she was eating a soft pretzel with mustard.
"I'm eating this, then I'm leaving, " Maya said in a dull voice.
"My eighth birthday party, " Farkle stated.
They both became silent.
"Don't remember it at all, " Maya shifted uncomfortably.
"Bing!" Farkle pulled out Maya's old skateboard.
"You kept this?" Maya grabbed it in shock.
"You tried to do a kick-flip off the park bench. You were not ready for those moves, " Farkle shook his head.
"Still got the scar, " May said as she felt the scar behind her head.
"It was the only time I've ever seen you cry. The only person who was able to calm you down was Elliot. Deep down I know you two are meant to be but I would love it if you gave me even a tiny chance, " Farkle said softly.
"Why did you keep this?" Maya asked.
"It was the only time I've ever seen you cry, " Farkle repeated.
"Farkle, " Maya sighed with a smile on her face.
Farkle then turned to Riley.
"Have you been seeing someone else?" Riley asked.
"There's only you, " Farkle told Riley.
"Don't think it's going to be so easy to get me all emotional over some little object that shoots me down memory lane, " Riley told him confidently.
"Bing, " Farkle pulled out a stuffed pink hippo.
"Hazel the hippo. You're alive!" Riley grabbed it from Farkle and smiled.
Farkle smiled softly at her reaction.
"You gave me this when you sat with me in the hospital when I had my tonsils out. I lost her and never had the heart to tell you. How did you know?" Riley asked.
"I bought two of them, you know, just in case, you lost the one I gave you, " Farkle told her.
"Thank you, Farkle, " Riley smiled.
Farkle turned to Maya.
"Thank you, Farkle, " Maya smiled at him.
Farkle then turned to the center.
Riley and Maya saw each other.
"Are you speed-dating us?" They asked in unions.
"Welcome to what's going on! As you know, being nominated for a Buggie is the highlight of my life, " Farkle told them.
"We realize that, " Riley smiled.
"I wanna share my happiness with someone special if I win, and if I lose, I want someone who cares about me to be there. So I wanna make sure I make the right choice. Thank you for a lovely evening, " with that Farkle got up and went to pay the bill.
"Wow. He's paying the bill, " Riely said as she moved to Maya's table.
"I should've eaten more, " Maya rolled her eyes.
Suddenly two guys showed up. They tried to act tough.
"Hey, yo, you still hungry? 'Cause we're gonna get some pizza, so we're thinking..." The first guy began.
"Stop thinking. It's not you, " Maya replied back with attitude.
"What's she mean by that?" The first guy turned to his friend.
"What my brother Sheldon doesn't understand is that because of our demeanor, you think that we're a couple of oafs, " the second guy turned to the girls.
"Is this true?" Sheldon asked.
"I'm afraid so, Sheldon, " Maya nodded.
"Oafs?!" Sheldon asked in disbelief.
"We are sorry to hear that, " the second guy said.
"What's the other one think, Cisco?" Sheldon asked his friend.
"You should find out by asking, " Cisco told him.
Sheldon turned to Riley.
"What do you think... Other one?" Sheldon asked Riley as he got really close and bent down to her level.
"I think you're way too close, " Riley said uncomfortably.
"And what are you gonna do about that?" Cisco asked he got close and bent down as well, he was way to close to Maya.
The girls got uncomfortable but didn't say anything.
Farkle came in between them.
"I may not look so tough, and I don't say yo, but I'm insane when it comes to these two, so what you're gonna do is run down the platform screaming until you reach Broadway, " Farkle softly threatened.
"I just don't see us screaming until Broadway, " Cisco replied.
"Who do you think you are anyway?" Sheldon asked with his arms crossed.
"Oh, me?" Farkle smirked and then pulled out an orange dancing spider from his pocket.
The boys saw it, went wide-eyed and ran away screaming.
Farkle put the spider back in his pocket and then turned to the girls.
"I'm Canada. A little taken for granted, but... I'm always there for you, " with that Farkle left.
"You know what? I've decided to go with Farkle, " Riley told Maya.
"You don't have to. I'm going, " Maya told Riley.
"I said I'm going, " Riely insisted.
"I will mess you up, " Maya threatened.
"Then I will clean me up. Ha!" Riley replied.
"Riley, what are we doing? Are we really fighting over Farkle?" Maya scoffed.
Riley turned to Farkle, who was smiling at her from a distance.
"Yeah, and I'm gonna win, " Riley smiled.
Maya raised an eyebrow.
"It's on, Matthews, " Maya smirked.

The Next Day
John Quincy Adams Middle School
Hallway
Maya and Riley were on bench while watching Farkle from a distance. Elliot was with Farkle.
"So did you text him last night?" Riley asked Maya.
"No. We agreed not to. Farkle's choice, remember? Did you video chat?" Maya asked in return.
"Absolutely not. We agreed to do nothing to influence him, " Riley answered.
"That's the deal, " Maya smirked.
"Ladies, " Farkle said from behind them.
"Farkle, " they turned to him and replied flirtatiously.
Elliot raised an eyebrow at their tone.
"Girls?" He questioned.
"Oh hey El, " they replied in a dull tone.
Elliot looked offended.
"Thanks for the text, Maya, " Farkle thanked her.
Riley shoved Maya a little.
"I enjoyed the video chat, Riley, " Farkle turned to Riley.
Maya pushed Riley off the bench.
"They texted and video chatted you?" Elliot asked shocked.
"Yeah, " Farkle nodded.
Elliot's eyes went wide.
"But I'm gonna need some time to myself to make this difficult choice, " Farkle told the girls.
"And Maya and I agreed we would do nothing to influence your decision, " Riley said as she got up.
Maya went to her locker and pulled something out.
"Yeah. Lookie what I found, " Maya revealed that a spider was in her hand.
Riley gasped.
"You forgot to scream, " Maya smiled.
"Thank you, " Riley thanked her and ran away screaming.
"An Arizona Blonde Tarantula, " Farkle gazed at the animal.
"Well, of course, " Maya twirled her hair.
"You can't do this, Maya!" Riley shouted from a distance.
"What I love about this species, it's the perfect mate for..." Maya began.
Farkle pulled out a spider from his locker and brought it out.
"-for my orange dancing spider, " Farkle finished.
"Yeah, " Maya twirled her hair.
"This is completely unfair!" Riley shouted from a distance.
"You did research?" Elliot asked Maya in shock.
"Look at these two. So vastly different and yet so wonderful together, " Farkle smiled.
"Well, of course, " Maya smiled as she twirled her hair.
"They seem to really..." Farkle began.
Maya's spider than ate Farkle's spider's head off.
"She bit his head off! Oh my heaven! She bit his head off!" Farkle shouted.
Kids ran away screaming.
Only Farkle, Maya and Elliot were left in the hall. Riley was watching from a distance.
"Just like our lives are gonna be together, " Maya smiled.
"Huh?" Elliot asked shocked.
"No, " Riley said bravely.
"Maya is not the only one who likes spiders, okay? I happen to love them too, " Riley said as she came towards them.
"No, you don't you hate them as much as Maya hates research. What is happening?" Elliot asked shocked.
"Really Riley? Then you would have no problem if I put this spider on your head and you wore it like a hat?" Maya asked with a smirk.
"A hat, you say?" Riley gulped.
Maya put the spider on Riley's head, who shuddered in fear.
"I know this is out of your comfort zone, Riley. I'm really impressed you would do this for me, " Farkle told her.
Riley smiled.
"Yeah, I still can't decide who I'm bringing to the Buggies. You're both still even, " Farkle said with a sigh.
Cory walked up to them while eating cup noodles.
"Hi, Dad, this spider is laying her eggs in my brain, " Riley said with an uncomfortable smile.
"Yeah, okay, " with that Cory walked away.
Farkle and Elliot walked away from the girls. Elliot took Farkle to the side.
"What did you do to them?" Elliot asked Farkle in shock.
"I just went on a date with both of them, " Farkle shrugged.
"The dates clearly went well because they're in love with you!" Elliot said shocked.
"Really?!" Farkle asked excitedly.
Elliot sighed.
"I can't believe I'm about to say this, " Elliot mumbled.
Elliot turned to Farkle.
"Go easy on my girls, " Elliot told him.
"I told you, you were gonna say that to me, " Farkle smirked.
Elliot chuckled.
"Hey, you don't think Maya's gonna be in love with you forever is she?" Elliot asked.
When Farkle didn't answer and walk away Elliot got worried.
"Farkle? Farkle, answer me!" Elliot went after him in worry. _______________________________________

Auggie's book club
It was Auggie's turn to read.
"Murray the moose realized it is much better to be who you are than to pretend to be somebody else, even if your fake British mother wants you to be." Auggie recited.
Topanga smirked.
Judy began looking through the pages.
"Where does it say that? It doesn't say that in mine, " Judy said as she looks through the book.
"Mm, yes. Well, perhaps you're not the only one with a well-rehearsed child, " Topanga said as she patted Auggie.
"I still like it better when you read to me, mommy, " Auggie told her.
"Why? My mommy never reads to me, " Ava frowned.
Judy nervously smiled.
"She says it makes me weak, " Ava added.
"Oh, " Judy sighed nervously.
"So then who acts out the parts and does the voices and makes it fun?" Auggie asked.
"You can do that?" Ava asked Topanga.
"Well, let's see, " Topanga smiled.
Topanga turned to Cory, who was yet again struggling to put a straw in the juice box.
"Cory?" Topanga called.
Cory didn't realize he was being called.
"Cory?" Topanga called again.
Cory turned to her. Topanga motioned him to come in the circle.
"Oh. Yeah, right, " Cory came sat next to Topanga.
"One day, Murray the moose said," Topanga narrated.
"I'm tired of being a moose," Cory said in a deep voice.
The kids laughed.
"I wanna be a porpoise, like you, Penelope, and swim in the sea," Cory added in a deep voice.
"But, Murray, do you even know how to swim?" Topanga asked in a high pitched voice.
"Let's find out!" Cory shrugged.
"Sploosh!" Cory made a splashing sound effect and fell on the rug.
The kids continued to laugh.
"Oh! Ooh, Help me! Help me, Penelope!" Cory called in a deep voice.
"Okay, I will gather all of my ocean friends. Come on, ocean friends, help save Murray!" Topanga said in a high pitched voice.
Most of the kids jumped on Cory in order to save him.
Ava turned to her mother as if to ask permission. Judy shook her head.
"And all of the ocean friends worked together and saved Murray. And Penelope said, " Topanga narrated.
"Oh, Murray, we love you for who you are!" Topanga said in a high pitched voice.
"I love you, Murray, " Auggie smiled.
Cory chuckled while being underneath a lot of kids.
"Sorry, mommy, " Ava apologized, closed her book and went towards Cory.
"Oh!" Judy gasped.
"I love you too, Murray!" Ava exclaimed as she jumped on top of Cory as well.
Cory grunted but smiled.
"Primitives. Look at the time. Ava, let's go, " Judy got up and began to drag Ava towards the door.
Ava stopped her.
"I like it when Topanga throws me out, " Ava smiled.
"Excuse me?" Judy gasped.
"Oh, me too, " Topanga walked towards Ava and picked her up.
Judy gasped.
"Whee!" Topanga and Ava exclaimed as they ran to the door.
Topanga put Ava down outside.
Ava giggled.
Judy gasped.
"Get out, " Topanga growled at Judy.
Judy gasped and then exhaled sharply as she walked out.
"Slam the door!" Ava told Topanga.
Topanga slammed the door as Judy yet again gasped.
Topanga turned to the rest of the kids.
"And then Murray decided he wanted to be a penguin," Topanga said as she turned to Cory.
"Doo da, doo da, doo da, doo!" Cory began to walk like a penguin.
The kids began to laugh.
"Doo da, doo da, doo da, doo!" Cory continued to walk like a penguin.
Topanga sat on the couch with a smile on her face. Auggie came sat with her.
"Best book club ever, " Auggie smiled at her.
They hugged.
_______________________________________
Farkle and Riley were sitting at the bay window.
Farkle was wearing a suit.
"Thanks for coming over right before your big night. This bay window is very special to me, Farkle, and I enjoy sharing it with people who are special to me... Like you, " Riley smiled.
"Thank you. I feel like I'm sitting on sacred ground. I mean, this is where you, Elliot and Maya share so many moments together, " Farkle smiled.
"Tee-hee-hee-hee-tee, " Riley sighed and then fake laughed.
"There's that giggle I love. What made you laugh in that weird fake way?" Farkle asked.
"Well, I was just picturing you at this dinner with Maya. I mean, you guys so don't belong together, " Riley told him.
"You don't think we do?" Farkle asked.
"Not at all, " Riley answered almost immediately.
"Do you think we do?" Farkle asked.
"I don't know, " Riley shrugged.
Riley then moved closer to Farkle.
"Do you?" Riley asked with a smile.
A sound was heard from the side. Farkle and Riley saw that was Maya was trying to get inside. She looked upset.
"Ignore that big bird, " Riley told Farkle.
"My bay window!" Maya said from outside.
Maya tried to get in but it was locked.
"Locked! Ha. Locked, " Riley smiled.
Maya came in from the window next to it and raised her eyebrow at Riley.
"How did you do that?" Riley asked with a frown.
"You tried to lock me out of your room? Not cool, " Maya said as she stood up upset.
"You're interrupting my alone time with Farkle? Not cool!" Riley replied back, equally upset.
"You're actually fighting over me?! Cool!" Farkle smiled as he stood in the center.
There was an upsetting silence.
"Except you're fighting and it's my fault. Can either of you tell me why you'd even want to go with me to the Buggie Awards?" Farkle asked.
Riley and Maya didn't know what to say.
"Yeah. Well, I can tell you why I've always loved you both. I can't think of one of you without thinking of both of you. I withdraw my offer, " Farkle told them.
Elliot then walked in.
"Oh hey guys, " Elliot smiled.
"Do you still want to go to the Buggie with me?" Farkle asked.
"Yeah, " Elliot nodded with a smile.
Elliot turned around ripped up his clothes to reveal that he was wearing formal clothes underneath.
Riley and Maya were both shocked.
"Wh-what...how...how did you know he'd end up going with you?" Maya asked shocked.
"Everyone always picks Elliot. You will too sweetheart. Give it time, " Elliot smirked and blew her a kiss.
Maya scoffed.
Elliot left the room through the bay window.
Farkle followed him.
"I never wanted to hurt you two or make you go against one another. I'm sorry that I did, " Farkle apologized and with that, the boys left.
Riley and Maya sat at the bay window and sighed in unions.
"Not cool, " Riley frowned.

The 67th Annual Buggie Awards
"Live... From the fabulous chanticleer hotel of Weehawken, it's the 67th annual Buggie awards! And now your host, Miss Jane Lynch!" The announcer announced.
Jane Lynch came on stage.
"Haha, the Buggies. Yup, I'll host anything, " she laughed.
"Oh, look at this crowd. My goodness. Jennifer Lawrence, Leo DiCaprio..." She listed.
Everyone began looking around.
"Not here, " Jane shook her head.
"But look who is here, we've got Milton, " she pointed to Milton.
He smiled and waved.
"Hey, kid. And of course Smackle!" She pointed at Smackle.
"You, " Smackle pointed at her and smiled.
"No no, you, lady, " Jane pointed at Smackle and chuckled.
"And where is our perennial hopeful?" She began to look around.
"Oh, there he is, " Jane pointed at Farkle.
Elliot smiled at Farkle.
'Well, I am hoping this is your year, kid. 'Cause I love ya, Farkle, " Jane said Farkle's name in a flirtatious way.
"Giant lady, " Farkle flirted back.
Jane laughed.
"All right. Let's get to our first award of the evening. Here to present the Buggie for Best Terrarium Design, Liam Hemsworth and Anna Kendrick's science teacher!" Jane announced.
Everyone clapped.

Riley's bay window.
Maya and Riley were sitting with frowns on their faces.
"What is this feeling?" Maya asked.
"Awfulness. We're ruining the greatest night of Farkle's life, " Riley turned to Maya.
"We actually let him come between us, " Maya pointed out.
"We did, " Riley nodded.
"How could we ever fight about that?" Maya asked with a smile.
"Because he's great, " Riley admitted.
"So great, " Maya sighed with a frown.
"For the rest of our lives, let's never settle for anyone less than Farkle, " Riley proposed.
Riley held out her hand, Maya grabbed it and the promise was made.

67th Buggie Awards
"Well, it's been a giggly fun five hours, hasn't it? Before we get to our final Buggie award this evening, umm... A tribute to those we've lost this year. - Ladies and gentlemen...in Memoriam, " Jane announced as a slide show of dead animals began playing along with soft, sad music.
Swing low
Sweet chariot
coming for to carry me home
swing low
sweet chariot
coming for to carry me home
I looked over Jordan
And I what did I see
coming for to carry me home?
A band of angels
coming after me
coming for to carry me home.
"I'm gonna miss 'em, " Jane sighed.
"Okay, we're out. Going to commercial, " the producer announced.
Smackle came up behind Farkle.
"Farkle, " she said his name.
"Smackle, " Farkle turned around.
Elliot followed him.
"Well well, here we are once again. Hope you didn't waste your time writing a speech, " Smackle hissed.
"You lack modesty, my arch-nemesis, " Farkle pointed out.
"Yeah you're mean for a geek, " Elliot pointed out.
"You're a popular kid aren't you?" Smackle asked as she narrowed her eyes at Elliot.
"Yeah, and I have a feeling that even I a nerdy school like Einstein Academy you still find a way to get stuffed in lockers. Don't you Smackle?" Elliot asked with a smirk.
Smackle shifted uncomfortably. Elliot's smirk grew. Smackle then turned to Farkle.
"And I see you lack a female companion for the evening, my archnemesis. Are you finally available? Not that I care, " Smackle hissed.
"Hmmmm, " Elliot smirked.
"It looks as though I might be, and I care very much, " Farkle sighed.
Elliot patted his shoulder.
"It doesn't have to be like this, Farkle. You and I can rule the world... together. And we make him are loyal servant, " Smackle pointed at Elliot.
"What?!" Elliot shouted.
"Oh, I'm sorry. A servant means-" Smackle began.
"I know what a servant means I'm a straight-A student, " Elliot hissed.
Smackle chuckled amused.
"And for the record, I actually prefer you two together, " Elliot pointed out.
Smackle looked shocked.
"Not so dumb now am I?" Elliot smirked.
"And what do you think?" Smackle turned to Farkle.
"You and I? Smackle, we're both evil geniuses. Science dictates that like forces repel, " Farkle told her.
"Oh, my dear archnemesis, science does not dictate emotion, not that I have any, " Smackle said softly and then hissed at the end.
Elliot chuckled.
"Your theory intrigues me, Smackle. I've never looked at you in this way, " Farkle pointed out.
"Well do it now, " Elliot told him.
Farkle intensely stared at Smackle.
"No, repelled. I shall avert my eyes, " with the Farkle sat back down.
Smackle went back to her seat upset.
"Dude, you never say that to a girl's face, " Elliot told Farkle as he sat down.
"But it's the truth, " Farkle pointed out.
"Oh come on dude, you saw what happened today with the spiders right? Opposites bite each other's heads off, " Elliot pointed out.
"And we're back in three, two, one, " the producer said as intro music began to play.
Elliot and Farkle turned their attention back to the front.
"I will now present the final award of the evening for high achievement in research. And our two finalists are, once again, Smackle of Einstein Academy, " Jane announced.
The crowd clapped.
"Hey, who's your date for this evening, Smackle? Is that handsome gentleman your father?" Jane pointed to the man beside Smackle.
"He's my Uncle. Daddy said no, " Smackle said with a frown.
"Sure, " Jane nodded.
Elliot chuckled.
"And of course, Farkle from John Quincy Adams, " Jane announced.
The crowd clapped. Elliot cheered the loudest.
"Thanks for being here for me, " Farkle smiled at Elliot.
"We're here too, " two voices said in unions.
Everyone looked towards the source all saw Riley and Maya coming in and walking towards Farkle.
"What an entrance! Is one of them yours?" Jane asked as she pointed to Elliot.
"Not tonight. Tonight they're both his," Elliot smiled.
Maya and Riley linked arms with Farkle.
"Whoa! Two of 'em, huh? Playa!" Jane did a weird hand gesture.
Elliot chuckled.
"Okay, the National Junior Entomology Society is pleased to award the Golden Buggie to..." Jane opened the envelope.
There was a drum roll.
"Smackle!" Jane announced.
The crowd applauded.
Farkle looked upset.
Maya and Riley rubbed his back in order to comfort him.
Elliot linked his arm with Maya and they all began to leave as Smackle came on stage to get her award.
Smackle tried to make a speech but the microphone was too high.
Jane lifted Smackle up in order to help her talk.
"This should be the happiest moment of my life, except these girls of middling intellect are interrupting it, " Smackle hissed as she glared at Riley and Maya.
The four best friends turned around.
"Oh, us? We're Canada, " Maya told Smackle.
"We're his greatest allies, " Riley smiled.
"He sits right next to us..." Maya continued.
"And we'll never take him for granted again, " Riley finished.
Riley and Maya: O Canada
We stand on guard
For thee!
Riley and Maya smiled and side hugged Farkle.
The four best friends laughed.
Jane dropped Smackle and grabbed the microphone.
Jane: O Canada
We stand...
"...Nah, " Jane laughed.
"Good night, everybody!" She waved and the award show was over.

The Next day
Riley was yet again doing the morning announcements. Maya and Elliot sat beside her.
"Good Morton, John Quintaneros. It is me, Siley Cashews. What a leak it has been, right, yama? Elmo?" Riley asked.
Maya and Elliot began laughing.
"These two have sage trite, " Riley pointed to Elliot and Maya.
They continued to laugh. ______________________________________
History Class
Everyone was watching the morning announcement on a portable TV.
"Any day, flanken may have lost his boogies, but curtainly won far tarts," Riley concluded.
Elliot and Maya didn't stop laughing.
"Unbelievable," Cory cringed at how bad the morning announcements were.
"I think they're perfect," Farkle smiled.

Chapter 19: Who's your Canada?
Everyone has Canada in their life. Someone they take for granted. For Little Miss Sunshine and My Girl that was The Scientist. And I didn't realize it at first but I started to do it as well. I thought they would never fall for him. But I learned my lesson when My Girl fell for him (temporarily) before she fell for me. So who's your Canada? Do you take them for granted? Do you underestimate them? Word of advice: DON'T!
