Instead of moving to New York Lucas moves to Philadelphia and meets Josh. They are friends and are the same age.
Riley paced back and forth as Maya bit her lip trying not to smile nodding along sitting on the couch in their shared apartment. She was giving Maya a list of reasons they should stay home for the summer instead of going away.
Maya burst into a fit of laughter as Riley told her she wasn't peeing outside or using leaves to clean herself with. "Riles when have I ever made you pee outside let alone with a leaf?" Maya asks as Riley glares at her shaking her head and continuing her list of reasons not to leave.
"Honey I know you don't want to hear this but you sound like your dad right now." Riley gasps jumping on Maya making her shriek. "Take it back or I sit on you forever peaches?" Riley threatens as Maya tries to lift her off knowing it wouldn't work since Riley took every self defense class and kick boxing class anyone offered.
"Okay fine." Maya laughs tickling Riley as she gets up. "You do realize we won't actually be camping. Farkle rented a house near the festival." Riley sits next to her on the couch sighing.
"Okay we can go but let's try not to get arrested again. I don't think my dad wants to go all the way to San Francisco to bail us out." Riley tells her getting up heading to her room. Maya shakes her head knowing technically they got arrested but they didn't actually go to jail.
The pack their bags saying goodbye to their parents heading for Farkle house to meet up with smackle and him. "Okay so what should we hit up first fishermen wharf or go see a game at AT&T Park?" Riley asked looking at her phone as they lounge on the beach.
They were leaving for California in two days and were staying with Farkle and smackle until they all left. "Riley let's just enjoy our beach day and worry about planning later." Maya tells her closing her eyes.
Riley shook her head putting her phone down closing her eyes trying to relax. She sighs opening her eyes looking at her phone again. Maya may have not been okay with planning but she was.
"Knew you wouldn't last long with making a list." Maya tells her as Riley flicks sand at her looking things up on her phone. San Francisco was a new place she had never been she just wanted to make sure she was prepared for their adventure.
"Dude see didn't I tell you guys California was sunny!" Zay cheers greeting Lucas and Josh at the airport. They had somehow let Zay convince them to abandon their summer plans and come out there for some fun.
"Dude it is not sunny. It's overcast and chilly." Josh tells him putting on his jacket as they get in Zay's jeep as he tells him that it was just a little fog for the morning drive. "Can't believe this is your car." Lucas tells him as Josh laughs fist bumping him. Zay use to tell them no matter what he would never in his life own a jeep.
Zay punches him starting his jeep as he drives. Zay and Lucas known each other since they were kids and hadn't met Josh until high school. He takes them on the scenic route back to his place showing them the best place to get decent sushi or the best place to pick up girls.
Lucas and Josh share a look and shake their heads only Zay would know where to go to pick up girls in every state they have ever been to. "What's going on over there?" Lucas asked pointing at people setting up ticket booths.
"Oh that is this huge festival they are putting on. It's like all their art and music festivals rolled into one. It gonna be awesome. It's something new the city is trying and it's like a week long. We are so going."
"Wow this place is huge Farkle." Maya gasps turning in a circle as she looked around the house he had rented for them. "Nothing but the best for my ex wives and my future wife." He says making smackle blush and giggle like crazy.
Maya grimaced and went out to help Riley with their bags but finds her taking pictures of the view. She shakes her head grabbing their bags knowing Riley was in her own world and didn't like to be disturbed. She didn't judge since she was like that when she was painting.
"Peaches you want to explore the pier with me? I hear they have people playing music along the ways." Maya shakes her head as Riley grabs her ipod putting it on and her muni tickets she bought online.
If she was going to be in a new place she wanted to get the feel of it so she walked along the streets taking pictures of the houses. Until she found the platform for muni and smiles at the people around her noticing a lot of people rode it just like back home with the subway.
She gets off walking along the pier taking in the sites as she just walks along with no real destination in mind. She had stopped to take a picture of the famous Cupid's span when she feels someone tap her. She jumps and sees Maya smiling at her.
"I thought you didn't want to come with? How did you find me?" Riley asks taking out her headphones. Maya tells her she changed her mind and holds up her phone showing she used the find a friend app. Riley shakes her head looping her arm through hers narrowing her eyes at her making Maya laugh knowing why she changed her mind.
Farkle and smackle were getting all lovey dovey with each other which was sweet and awkward for the girls. Only because Farkle was their oldest friend and they were sure both geniuses were incapable of having feelings since they were both robots from the future. But they were still extremely happy their little Farkle found his perfect match.
"You were right riles I could could sit here on the grass and sketch forever." Maya tells her as they stopped to grab coffees along the way just admiring their surroundings. Riley smiles as they clinked their cups together and went back to watching the little boy play his saxophone.
They continue to walk neither really complaining about walking along the pier. Which shocked Riley since she was sure Maya would have complained about it. But just like her they both got caught up with everything around.
It wasn't much but buildings but with the water and the atmosphere it was hard not to forget you were walking. "Honey let's get some food I'm starving." Maya tells her as she holds her stomach. They had reached pier 39 and Riley wanted to look up what they had there.
"Let's try bubba gumps?" Riley tells her pointing in the direction of the restaurant. Maya nods and they make their way over to it.
"Josh you actually look like forest gump." Zay jokes as Josh gets up punching him after sitting on the bench that had a replica of the shoes and the box of candy from the movie. After they got settled at Zay's place he decided to treat them to something to eat.
He picked bubba gump since he use to work there when he first moved out to California and the people that worked there still loved him. "Okay enough pictures I'm starving." Josh tells them as Zay sat while Lucas took his picture.
Zay gets up and starts grinning as he pats both their shoulders. "You know what goes good with fine dining?" They guys share a look and look back at him confused. "A couple of beautiful ladies on our arms."
He turns them around and throws his arms in the air. "Riley, Maya!" He shouts and runs up to them.
Just an idea for a story may just turn into a one shot. My first time writing for two different couples. Let me know what you think.
