"Where to next, cowboy?" Maya looked at the side of his face. Right now, he was concentrated on the road.

"Where do you wish to go?" He smirked, still keeping his eyes on the road.

She smiled to herself. For once she was happy. Nothing was there for her in Michigan. She had moved there and left everything she cared about. Her mother finally got a good job and forced Maya to move with her. Maya asked dozens of times to stay at the Matthew's Household, but her mother refused. She still stayed in touch with Riley of course, but she got married to Farkle after dating him for about five years, and she had a little boy named Eli. It got hard to approach her when she had a whole life. Riley had already started to make friends with the other mothers.

Lucas was another story.

He kissed her at the airport. They were sixteen. Maya's mother was in the bathroom. And he had his shoes off from security, and dropped them on he floor, put two hands on her cheeks and kissed her. And she cried. And he held her for awhile. Until, Katy, Maya's mother, came out from her hiding spot, knowing they were having a moment, and quietly said, "We have to leave now."

You could see the hurt in his eyes as he slowly, sadly smiled at her, and waved a goodbye, kissing her on the cheek.

The pain for both of them lasted for months.

Then she graduated. Going to a small art school, that was nothing like Maya thought it would be. Most of the people were blonde ditzy girls, wannabe hipsters, or people trying to find themselves. One time this girl had asked if Maya would tutor her in art.

Then she dropped out of the small art school.

And she took a plane to New York (Katy had married a rich man, and her job had gotten her enough money), and arrived at his apatment first, soaking wet, because his mother didn't know who she was at first, but then responded with, Maya?! Oh sweetie, come up, and Lucas's mother made him open the door. He groaned as he twisted the door knob (She woke him up from an intense nap. Can you blame him?), and slowly smiled with his teeth, hugged her tight, very tight, and kissed her.

Gently and slowly, as she deepened it, and Lucas's mother coughing waiting for her turn to get hugged tightly and ask how she'd been doing.

Then she had to go to another doorstep. Auggie opened the door, having to explain to her that Riley moved out with Farkle. She had smiled sadly as he closed the door, after he's given her the address.

She then went up, knocking on the door, a baby in her hand, crying and shriecking, and a nervous Farkle trying to find the little boy's favorite stuffed animal.

But when the door was held open, she smiled at the little boy, and he stopped and smiled back.

Little Eli was put to sleep by her dad, so they could catch up.

She looked at her best friend. A shiny diamond ring was shown by Riley to the Maya, and she had put on a few pounds because of the baby, but she still looked fine. And Farkle had grown up nicely too. Well, at least since he was sixteen. But Riley was about to turn twenty-two. And she already had a child, a husband, and she goes to nursing school. She has her whole life figured out.

Maya thought, I've just dropped out a crappy art school, and she has a family?

Then she asked about Cory, and Joshua, and, of course, lovely Topanga.

"Oh, Maya! Sorry I have to get this," She left the room, a phone to her ear.

And Maya sat on the couch, with a tea in her hand. She looked around for a pen and paper to write a note.

Had to leave, sorry! Call me when you have a chance.

She left with tears in her eyes.

Everyone thought they'd stick together for everything. But they kept in touch. They became almost like Shawn and Cory. Only seeing eachother during holidays or when she was in town.

"Maya," he shook her, trying to wake her up.

"What?" she said, groggily and annoyed. She didn't like to be awaken from naps.

Lucas smiled at the girl. She had a messy bun n her hair, and was covred by a warm blanket.

"Pee break, and I also need gas. Do want anything?"

"Coca-cola and Salt and Vinegar chips." she whispered, trying to go back to sleep.

Lucas knew what time of the month this was. She had always asked for Salt and Vinegar chips, and maybe some chococlate.

"Want some chocolate, also?" he smirked at the girl.

"Wha-," she looked at him, "How did you find out? And, yes I would like some chocolate."

He then shut the door of the car and went into the Seven Eleven across te streetfrom the Gas Station.

He then heard a distant, you didn't answer my question, and he smiled.

"Cus kids like us we don't know when to stop," she sang loudly into the poor boy's ear, but he laughed anyways.

"Sundance, were are we going?" she hummed along to the song, and continued to sketch (Maya had called it 'The Feather with Le Lucas'. It was just Lucas holding a feather.).

"We are in Pennsalvaynia, I think."

"Let me look up things to do in Pennsylvania."

The blonde girl took out her phone, looking at Yelp reviews, and a websites 'Top 5 Places When Visiting Pennsylvania'.

"Are we going to Harrisburg?"

The boy nodded. Looking at the signs above them as he drove.

But the girl turned the radio up more. Deciding that she can look at the website later.

"They're driving fast cars, living life without knowing," the radio sang, as Maya danced, and Lucas smiled.
