Rilaya One Shots - Chapter 1
Riley leaves her bedroom and heads down to the kitchen where her Mom and Dad are sitting at the table drinking coffee and talking.
Riley - "Mom? Dad? I need to talk to you about something. Is now a good time?"
Topanga - "Of course sweetie, you can talk you us any time."
Riley joins her parents at the kitchen table. "Ok. First of all, you guys would accept me no matter what, right?" Riley asked looking at her parents with worried eyes.
Topanga and Cory exchanged their own worried look before Topanga reached across the table and grabbed Riley's hand. "Of course Riley. You're our daughter and we love you. Nothing can ever change that."
Riley - "Thank you guys."
Cory - "What is this about Riley."
Riley straightens up and takes her hand out of her Mom's but quickly slumps back down and stares at the table avoiding her parents eyes. "I-I" Riley takes in a deep breath and slowly lets it out before she continues. "I'm in love with Maya." As she says this her eyes go wide and her whole body stiffens.
What she doesn't see since she's not looking at them, is her parents looking at each other with big smiles on their faces.
Cory - Riley sweetie is that it?"
Riley looks up at her dad shocked. "Is that it? Wait you guys aren't surprised?"
Cory - "Not at all."
Topanga - "We've known for quite a while."
Riley - "You knew?! How?!"
Cory -"Riley Honey, even Auggie knew."
Riley's eyes go extra wide at this. "WHAT?!"
All of a sudden Auggie comes from around the corner. "It's Riley and Maya, they're gonna marry each other!" They all laugh at this. Auggie walks over to Riley and she picks him up and puts him on her lap.
She then looks at her Mom and Dad. "You guys are ok with this?"
Topanga - "Are we ok with you being in love with the person who makes you the happiest in life?..Yea we're more than ok with that."
Riley look at Auggie. "You too Auggie?"
Auggie - "Of course Riley. Not to mention Maya would be a pretty cool Sister."
Riley laughs at her little brother. "Maya and I aren't their yet Auggie. In fact we're not anywhere yet..." Riley is back to looking worried. "What if I tell her and she doesn't feel the same way? What if she doesn't wanna be friends anymore?"
Cory - "As much as I truly feel Maya feels the exact same way as you do Riley, there is a slight chance she might not. But if there is one thing I have no doubt about, it's that there is absolutely nothing that could ever come in between your guys's friendship."
Topanga - "Exactly. Now we're not gonna lie. If you tell Maya and she doesn't feel the same way, things might be awkward for a little while but, before you know it things will get back to normal. You guys will always be best friends."
Riley - "Thanks guys. I really hope you're right. I'm gonna go to my room and call Maya and have her comer over so we can talk."
Cory/Topanga/Auggie - "Good Luck!" they all say in unison.

(What Riley didn't know is at the same time she was talking to her parents, Maya was having a conversation with hers as well. {Katy & Shawn})
Maya - Mom? Dad? There's something I need to talk to you about."
Shawn - "Sure kiddo, take a seat."
Katy - "What's on your mind Baby Girl?"
Maya - I have realized something, and before I act on it I wanna make sure you guys will be ok with it."
Katy - "We appreciate that Maya. It means a lot to us."
Shawn - "So what is it?"
Maya still a little scared to come right out and say it stares off with wide eyes. "..."
Shawn looks at her curiously. "Soooo, you gonna tell us kiddo?"
Maya snaps out of her haze and takes a deep breath and lets it out. "Ok. Here goes...I...I am...I'M IN LOVE WITH RILEY!" Maya's eyes go wide again and shoots down towards the table, not knowing how her Mom and Dad were going to react.
Shawn and Katy look at each other and can't help but smile wide.
Katy - "Are you just figuring this out now Baby Girl?"
Maya - "Yea. Wait what?! You knew?!"
Katy - "Of course Maya."
Shawn - We've known for a while."
Maya - "But how? Why didn't you tell me?"
Katy - "Cause you had to figure it out on your own Baby Girl."
Shawn - "And as far as how goes, it's the way you two look at each other. Maya no 2 people look at each other the way you 2 do and mean it platonically."
Katy - "Honey you and Riley look at each other the same way Shawn and I look at each other. You look at each other the same way Cory and Topanga looks at each other."
Shawn - "With complete love in your hearts and soul."
Maya - "Wow. So you guys are ok with this?"
Katy - "Of course Maya. No one will ever make you as happy as Riley does, and no one will ever love you as much as Riley does."
Shawn - "And no one will ever love Riley as much as you do, and no one will ever make Riley as happy you do."
Maya takes another deep breath and lets it out. "But what if she doesn't love me the same way? What if this ruins everything we have?"
Shawn and Katy look at each other before Shawn speaks again to Maya. "Maya look, I truly believe Riley feels the exact same way towards you. But that doesn't mean it's true. There is a chance that she doesn't. And If she doesn't things might be a little awkward between you two for a little while, but I know they will go back to normal eventually. You 2 have said it thousands of times. It's Maya and Riley, Riley and Maya, for ever. And that is one thing I know that is beyond true."
Maya gives a nervous smile. "Thanks guys."
Katy - "So? When Are you gonna tell her?"
Maya - "I think I'm gonna call her and ask her if I can come over right now." As soon as Maya says this her phone goes off in her pocket. She digs her phone out and looks at it. "Speak of the devil." She gives another nervous smile to her parents. "It's Riley." She answers it. "Riles?"
Riley - "Maya? Hey. I really have to talk to you about something very important. Can you please come over?" Riley asks both nervously and excitedly.
Maya - "Funny you say that Honey, there is something very important I have to talk to about you as well. I'll be over in 20."
Riley - "Great. I'll see you soon Peaches."
Maya - "See you you soon Sweetie."
Maya looks at her parents still nervous. "She needs to talk to me about something important too. Maybe I should just hold off for tonight."
Shawn - "Absolutely not. The longer you wait the harder it's going to be. You are strong Maya, you can do this."
Katy - "Exactly. Plus you already told her you had something important to tell her as well."
Maya - "Right. Well I gotta get going. Wish me luck."
Katy - "Good luck Baby Girl."
Shawn - "Go get her kiddo."
With that Maya was out her front door and on her way to the girl she loves.

Riley is in her room sitting at the bay window when she hears her Mom and Dad come in.
Topanga - "Riley Honey? Did you call Maya?"
Riley looks at her parents nervously. "Yea, she's on her way now. She says she has something important to tell me too. Maybe I should wait to tell her?"
Cory - "Riley you need to tell her and you need to do it tonight. Otherwise it's just gonna be harder to do."
Topanga - "You'll do just fine Sweetie... Your Father and I wanted to give you something. This was one of the first gifts your Father ever gave me. And if everything works out well, we want you to be able to give it to Maya." It was a necklace. A gold heart with a small rose and the word love in the middle.
Riley - Mom, Dad, it's gorgeous! But Mom if Dad gave you this I can't give it to Maya."
Cory - "Riley, if everything goes the way your Mother and I believe it will, then we can't think of 2 better people to pass this down to."
Riley takes the necklace from her Mother. "Are you guys sure?"
Topanga - "Yes." She says smiling at her daughter.
Riley looks up at them and smiles. "Thank you. I hope I get the chance to give it to her."
Cory - "I'm sure you will sweetie. Now we're gonna leave cause I'm sure Maya will be here soon."
Cory and Topanga leaves Riley's room and Riley goes back to the bay window to wait for Maya.
It was another 10 minutes before Maya made her way into Riley's room through the bay window. As Maya crawls in Riley stands up. "Peaches."
Maya - "Hey Pumpkin."
The 2 girls hug each other. As they broke up the hug Maya grabs both of Riley's hands and holds them in hers.
Maya - "Hey sweetie I know you called me, and I know you told me you had something important to tell me. But i really need to tell you something first cause if I don't I'm not sure if I'll have the courage to do so later."
Riley felt the same way about what she had to tell Maya but decided to let her best friend go first anyways. "Ok Maya, go ahead."
Maya looking deeply into Riley's soft brown eyes begins. "Riley, you are my best friend. You are everything that is good to me. You are my sunshine, my strength, and my happiness. You are the reason I wake up in the morning and the reason I can go to bed happy at night. You are my everything." Maya swallows a little hard, still nervous about the rest she has to tell her best friend. "But there is something else I have to tell you. My feelings have changed towards you. Give me a second." Maya lets go of Riley's hands and walks over to the bay window. "I completely understand if you don't feel the same way." Maya reaches outside the bay window and grabs something and pulls it in. It was a bouquet of purple roses. Riley's eyes light up and a huge smile crosses her face. Maya begins to speak again. "Riley Matthews, I am wholeheartedly and deeply in love with you." Maya sees Riley's smile drop and her eyes go wide. Maya figured this was her answer. Her heart dropped to the floor. She couldn't look at Riley anymore fearing she would begin to cry, so she just looked to the ground. "I knew there was a chance you wouldn't feel the same way...I hope this doesn't change what we've had for so long...I still want you to have these." Maya turns and puts the roses down on the bay window seat. "I hope to talk to you later." As Maya turns and heads towards the window to leave she feels Riley's hand on her shoulder stopping her, then she felt Riley's arm go above her head and bring something down around her neck, it was the necklace. Riley clasps the necklace together and Maya takes a hold of the pendant looking at it. She sees it's a heart with a rose and the word love going across the middle. Maya wanted to smile but she didn't want to get her hopes up too fast. She turns around still with her eyes on the necklace pendant and not yet on Riley. "Riley? Does this mean there's a chance you"
Riley cut her off. "Maya you didn't let me tell you what I had to tell you. I'm sorry for the way I reacted, but I was just so shocked that you told me the same Thing I wanted to tell you...I am also wholeheartedly and deeply in love with you Maya Hunter...And I always will be." Riley tells Maya this with happy tears running down her face. Maya can't help but let a few happy tears out herself. Maya has a smile come across her face so big she thought it might split her face.
Maya - "So Riley does this mean you'll be my girlfriend?"
Riley - "Of course, but Maya we are so much more. You will forever be my Soulmate and I will forever be yours."
The girls share their first kiss and the first step into their new lives together.
