First things first, I DO NOT own Girl Meets World or any of the characters!

I am going to change a few storylines…

1.) Lucas like both girls but realized he felt more for Maya after their little debacle at the camp fire.

2.) Lucas realized he has always felt for Maya and never really for Riley the way he thought he did; he was pushed to like Riley.

3.) The Texas trip did not end after the camp fire, the group stayed 2 more days where they went on adventures to Lucas's and Zay's favorite places.

4.) Here we go…

"You like me?" Lucas said confused.

"No."

"Maya, why do you make fun of me?"

"I'm just gonna look at this fire." Maya said groggily.

"Maya why do you make fun of me?" Lucas said again.

Maya hesitated before getting all fired up.

"Because you're easy to make fun of."

"Okayy, would you stop?'

"Because you're a ranger rick. Because you're a huckleberry."

"Would you stop?"

"If I had feelings for you don't you think I'd just come right out and say it? Well I don't so what I d say is HA-HURR…"

Maya gasped as Lucas grabbed her face intensely.

The just stared into each others eyes, a lust lingering in the air.

"Why's you do that?' Maya said confused making the first move.

"I don't know. I just wanted you to stop."

"You couldn't think of any other way to stop me?" Maya said somewhat angry.

"Not at the time, No." Lucas pleaded. "Please don't tell my sister."

"Of course I like you. If you had gotten hurt on that bull I don't know what I would've done with myself." Maya said sitting back down.

Time passed and Maya eventually left Lucas alone and went back to Pappy Joe's. Being all alone in such a quiet place would allow Lucas to just sit and think about all that he now knows. Being left alone with ones thoughts can be dangerous territory…

The next day not much about the night before was talked about. Lucas, Maya, and Riley would all just awkwardly stare at one another with small glimpses here and there. Lucas and Zay decided to take the others to one of their most favorite places where they enjoyed growing up… the swimming hole. Maybe just good ol' group fun would help enlighten the mood.

"You're taking us to a hole?" Maya said completely confused.

"Not just any hole, the swimming hole!" Zay exclaimed.

"It was one of the best places to hang out at in the summer when we were growing up!" Lucas said. "Plus not many knew about it so it was never crowded."

"Well I think this is going to be fun!" Riley said.

"You think everything is fun Riles." Maya scoffed.

"No I don't." Riley barked back. "I don't think…" Riley paused.

"Don't think what?" Maya said jerking her head towards Riley.

"Never mind. Can we just go please?" Riley said changing the subject.

The group eventually got to the swimming hole and it was completely vacant.

"Wow." Farkle stated.

"It's amazing." Riley said astounded.

The swimming hole was beautiful. Crystal clear blue water, amazing trees and cliffs surrounding it, with a small but breath taking waterfall in the distance.

"The best part is that no one is here!" Zay exclaimed. "which means we get it all to ourselves!"

"Well what are we waiting for?" Riley said removing her tank and shorts to reveal a one piece bathing suit with an open back. She headed for the water.

"Last one in is the rotten egg." Zay said.

Him and Farkle immediately raced to remove their shirts and run for the water.

Lucas just laughed. He began to remove his shirt but stopped when he noticed Maya hadn't moved since the group arrived.

"Maya, are you okayy?" Lucas asked walking back to her.

She didn't respond.

"Earth to Maya…" Lucas said waving his hand in front of Maya's face.

"Huh…?" Maya said jumping out of her daze.

"You okayy?" Lucas asked again.

"Yea, it's just… Look at this place! It's beautiful!" Maya Exclaimed

Lucas had never seen Maya so dumbfounded about something before.

Lucas just giggled and shook his head.

"What?" Maya said confused looking at him.

"I've never seen you look so enthused by something." He said smiling at her.

"Well can you blame me? Nothing in my life has ever been this amazing!" Maya said astounded.

"I highly doubt that's true…" Lucas said looking at her.

"No it is. I've never seen or had anything this breathtaking before. It's amazing." Maya breathed out.

Lucas just smiled at Maya. She smiled back.

"Are you coming in the water?" Lucas asked Maya breaking the silence.

"I'd rather just paint the scene." Maya joked.

"It's to bad you don't have anything with you to paint with. I'd totally buy this piece."

"Yea… too bad." Maya said a little disappointed in herself for not even bringing a proper camera.

"You guys coming in or what?" Zay yelled causing all the focus to move from the water to Maya and Lucas.

Maya and Lucas snapped out of their daze.

"Guess we better go in or they won't stop yelling at us…" Lucas said looking at Maya.

"Guess we better." Maya smirked at Lucas.

She took off her shirt and shorts to reveal a royal blue 2 piece bikini. The top was a small push up giving Maya a little extra burst in her torso and her bottom was two string ties on each side of her hips.

Lucas removed his shirt at the same time only to notice what Maya was wearing…

She began to go head towards the water and Lucas just stared, shocked by the way Maya looked.

"You coming cowboy?" Maya turned back and smiled at Lucas.

He smiled back and ran up behind Maya picking her up bridal style and running into the water only to drop her into the water.

Maya screeched in laughter and the others cheered Lucas on as he performed this action.

When he finally dropped her into the water she went completely under. She came back up gasping for air and moving her hair out of her face to wipe the water away.

"Oh you're asking for it now Ranger Rick." Maya said getting all serious. She started to splash Lucas only causing a splash war between all of them.

Sometime later in the trip to the swimming hole:

Lucas, Zay, and Farkle had removed themselves from the water leaving Riley and Maya alone.

Lucas was just staring at the two in the water. He couldn't help but smile, not because of which he liked more but because of the way they were with each other. No matter what was thrown at then they never let anything get in the way of their friendship.

"You like her don't you?" Farkle said snapping Lucas out of his daze.

"What?" he said.

"Of course he does. Maya is a one of a kind." Zay said responding to Farkle.

"Yea, but so is Riley…" Farkle shot back.

"They're both special." said Lucas breaking the mini argument.

"But you like Maya more don't you?" Zay said.

"I don't want to hurt either of them."

"But by not choosing you are hurting both of them. They may seem fine on the outside, but on the inside they are constantly arguing with themselves over who you like more."

"So by not choosing I hurt both of them."

"You already made your choice man." Zay said chiming in. "We see the way you are with Maya. You look at her as if it's the first time you've seen her before. You and her may not admit it but you really are the best of friends. You bring out the best in each other and you don't even need to be with each other to do it."

"But Riley…"

"Will be fine." Farkle cut Lucas off.

"I think deep down she knows that you truly like Maya."

"Yea I think Farkle is right." Zay said.

"Riley only thinks she likes you because you were the first boy besides me she ever spoke to. You were the first boy her father allowed her to befriend. I think she liked the idea of having freedom." Farkle explained.

"So she doesn't like me then?" Lucas said confused.

"Not like that." Farkle said.

"She likes the idea of you man, she just hasn't realized it." Zay chimed back in.

While the boys were having their conversation Riley and Maya were also having their own conversation in the water:

"He likes you."

"What? Riles, no. We all know he likes you."

"No he doesn't Maya."

Maya just looked at Riley confused.

"Lucas looks at you like it's the first time he's ever seen you. You and him bring out the best in each other. You don't even have to talk to have tension in the air, and it's always good tension."

Maya just looked at Riley.

"I know I said I was stepping back for you to explore your feelings for him, but truth is I've been non stop thinking about it since I figured it out, and I don't like him like that. I mean I think I did, but not anymore."

"What do you mean Riles?"

"I mean… I started to notice that Lucas liked you a long time ago. I don't think he knew it then but I did."

"When?"

"When you asked him out."

"I asked him out to light the fire for you and him. I felt nothing for him Riles."

"But see I think you did. Neither of you knew it yet."

"Riles… I'm sorry for keeping my feelings from you. I should not have been scared to tell you."

"I understand now why you didn't tell me Peaches. Honestly, I am okayy if you want to date him."

Riley and Maya were just looking at each other now. They smiled and hugged each other. Everything between them was going to be just fine.
