Hi there!

I wanted to write a lucaya fic based on the promotional photos we got and after the promo I saw that everyone (myself included) was so mad and hopeless so I decided to write a two chapters fic with lots of Lucaya cuteness. I also wanted to give something happy to the people who reads my other lucaya fic, From Texas to Gaduation, since lately, everything's been so angsty in that story

Hope you like it

30th December, Topanga's, Riley and Maya were sitting on the couches Reading a book Harper, their English teacher, had told them to read during holidays. Lucas and Farkle joined them after awhile.

-Ladies!-the genius said

-Farkle-the both girls said at the same time

-Hi-Lucas said looking at Maya. They hadn't talked much since their two dates. They didn't know if they were dating, they didn't know if they were just friends. All Lucas knew was that he loved spending time with Maya. All Maya knew was that she loved spending time with Lucas, although she didn't know if he felt the same way too.

-Hey-Maya said back, smiling at him shyly.

-Hi Riley-Lucas said politely turning to the brunette

-Hi-she said back. Riley hadn't talked much to their friends about their two dates either. She knew she should've told them the truth; that she still had feelings for Lucas, or at least, that was what she thought, but she didn't want to interfere in their relationship. She just hoped that Farkle had forgotten about the whole thing by now since he had warned her that if she didn't tell them he would.

-So…what are you guys doing tomorrow?-Farkle asked

-Oh, I'm glad you asked. My dad told me that I can have a party at home. He said I could invite the whole class, we can listen to some music on the rooftop and so on…you're coming right?-Riley said

-Yes, of course, I wouldn't miss it

-What about you Lucas, are you coming?

-Yeah, yeah, I'll be there-he said nodding. He looked at Maya and blushed as he said the following words-are you coming?

-Yeah, I am-she blushed too

-Would you…would you like me to pick you up?-he asked, he felt the heat on his cheeks.

-Umm-she looked at Riley for reassurance. Her friend smiled at her, which Maya took as a yes-Yes Lucas, I'd love that

-Good, I'll pick you up at 9:30?

-Perfect, yeah, I'll have dinner with my mom and Shawn

He just smiled. She smiled too. There was again, the silence, but not an awkward silence like when they were on their date, this silence was good, was intimate, like when Lucas said that he wanted Maya to be happy, they were comfortable just looking at each other without saying anything.

-What about me?-a voice said behind the kids

-Charlie Gardner! Cheese soufflé-Maya said like she always did whenever she saw the boy

-Maya!-Riley hushed her, then she turned to Charlie with a big smile-Hi Charlie! Of course you're invited to the party, you can come, why wouldn't you come? You should come! Come on!-She said way too enthusiastic, she didn't even know why she was that enthusiastic about it.

-Okay…I'd offer to pick you up at your house but since the party is well…at your house…

-It's okay Charlie, I'll see you there.

-So…Riley, can I bring Smackle?-Farkle asked changing the subject

-Of course Farkle, I really fancy her.

-Yeah, Farkle, we all like Smackle, the more the merrier-Lucas said being the good boy he was

-You stay away from her Freakface!-Farkle said pointing at him.

-Okay, easy Farkle-Lucas widened his eyes confused.

Maya burst into laugh, she loved seeing the cowboy that confused.

-What are you laughing at?-Lucas asked her trying to be serious but he couldn't

-You just can't take a hint, can you?-she said teasing him

He laughed at her comment.

-Okay, as much as I like teasing you Huckleberry I have to go, I promised my mom I'd be home at 7-Maya said standing up.

-I'll walk you home-Lucas offered

-It's not necessary

-I insist, it's getting dark, I'll go with you, that way I'll remember the way to your house for tomorrow

-Fine, let's go, bye guys see you tomorrow-she waved goodbye at their friends

Riley watched her friends go, she had mixed feelings about the situation, Farkle noticed this.

-I should go too-Riley said.

-I'll walk you home-Charlie offered

-No! I'll do it-Farkle said taking Riley's hand and getting her outside Topanga's.

-Oh god, is she actually going to end up with Farkle after all?-Charlie asked out loud as he watched them go.

As soon as they were outside Farkle talked.

-You need to tell them the truth; you can't go on like this. You're lying to Maya, you're lying to Lucas and you're lying to Charlie. You're making him think that you like him when you clearly don't.

-What do you know? Maybe I do like Charlie.

-Riley, please

-You can't tell anyone Farkle, it's my secret to tell, not yours

-It's making you suffer…I didn't want to come to this but…if you don't tell them by midnight tomorrow, I'll tell them.

-You can't do that to me.

-I'm sorry Riley, it's the right thing to do-he said and he walked away.

-So…we're here-Maya said as they got to her house. She and Lucas had spent the way talking about random things.-I'll see you tomorrow-she said aiming to open the door

-Wait…I…uh…I have something for you.

-What?

-It's a Christmas present, I intended to give it to you on Christmas but since I had to go to Texas…anyway, here-he said handing her a small box

-Lucas, you shouldn't have…-she said embarrassed-I…I didn't get you anything

-It's okay; if you like it, a smile will be the perfect gift for me, open it

-Okay…

She opened the box and looked at Lucas completely in shocked.

-Lucas…

-You don't like it?

-You're kidding? I love it, it's beautiful-she said looking at the box again. On the inside there was a charm bracelet, it had a palette and a brush, a clock, a pencil, a circle that had "follow your dreams" written on it, and more typical tools of an artist.-Thank you so much, I…I don't know what to say-she smiled at him. She couldn't believe what he had just done. It was the best gift someone had given to her since her mother and Shawn's locket.

-I told you, that smile is more than enough for me.

-You sure you don't want anything else?-she said with a smirk

He blushed at her insinuation. She laughed. Then both stared at each other. Their moment was interrupted by someone opening the door.

-Maya? Oh…Lucas hi, I'm sorry I didn't mean to interrupt, I heard voices and I didn't know if it was you-Katy said

-It's okay mom, we were just saying goodbye

-Yeah, I should leave. I'll see you tomorrow Maya, at 9:30. Goodnight Mrs. Hart

-Goodnight Lucas-Katy said

-Bye…and thanks again-Maya said, she knew her mother was about to interrogate her.

The next day came so fast. Maya had dinner with her mom and Shawn, those had been the first Christmas in a long time which hadn't been just her and her mother, and the day was about to get better. Lucas knocked at the door at 9:27 p.m. Katy opened the door.

-Hello Mrs. Hart, is Maya ready?-Lucas asked shyly

-She'll be in a minute, would you like to come in?-Katy said.

Maya, of course, had been ready for so long, she was really nervous, but she didn't want to seem very anxious so she decided that once Lucas arrived, she'd wait in her room a couple of minutes.

-Oh, I don't want to cause any trouble, it's okay

-Of course you're not, come on in.-Katy said. Lucas hesitated-It's okay, I've told Shawn to take it easy.

-Oh, thanks-he said blushing. He entered the house to see a really serious Shawn standing by the couch.

-So…you're what? Maya's boyfriend now?-He asked

-Shawn!-Katy hushed him.

-I just want to know Katy, so are you?

-Oh…um…we…we haven't talked about it…but…-he said wishing Maya would appeared to save him. His wished came true 'cause he was interrupted by Maya.

-I'm ready!-She said going downstairs.

-Oh thank god-Lucas whispered in relief. Then he turned to Maya. He stared at her, she looked gorgeous, she was so beautiful, he didn't even know how to express it on words.-Oh…

-What?-Maya said looking at her outfit-I should've chosen another thing, shouldn't I?

-No, no, you're…you're perfect, you're amazing

-Oh…thanks Lucas, you look pretty great too-she said blushing.

Both Shawn and Katy raised an eyebrow at the scene. Shawn cleared his throat to bring the attention to him.

-Oh, sorry. I'll take care of her-Lucas said to Shawn and Katy-And I'll bring her home at the time you say.

-What about at 10?

-Shawn, it's New Year's Eve, the New Year doesn't start till midnight.-Katy said

-Pff…well…fine…uh…what about 12:10?

Katy rolled her eyes

-Maya, you can come home at 2 okay?

-Yes mom, thanks

-Thank you ma'am, sir-Lucas said politely.

-Shall we go?-Maya asked him

-Yes, of course, let me get your coat-he said grabbing it and putting on her shoulders. Then he turned again to Katy and Shawn-Goodnight, and Merry Christmas

-Goodnight, have a good time-Katy said

-Yeah, not so good-The kids heard Shawn saying as they walked outside the house.

They started to walk and Lucas grabbed Maya's hand. She looked at him startled, then she looked at their hands. Lucas noticed that and blushed.

-I'm sorry, I should've asked.

-No, it's okay, it…it feels nice actually

-Yeah…it does, it feels natural.-he smiled at her.

They arrived at Riley's in less than 15 minutes. They knocked at the door and Topanga opened it. She greeted the kids and smiled when she saw that they were holding hands. She remembered how weird it had been for her daughter and that same boy to do the same and she was glad that things were going better for Maya.

Riley wasn't ready yet so they sat down on the couch next Farkle and Smackle who, of course, reminded Lucas that she wasn't available, which made Maya laugh. Charlie came 5 minutes after Lucas and Maya; he introduced himself to Riley's parents. Cory really liked Charlie, it was the kind of boy who wouldn't hurt her daughter for anything in the world, not that Lucas would but deep down Cory had always suspected that Lucas had a stronger thing for Maya than for Riley.

Then it was time for Riley to come downstairs. Charlie couldn't help but stare at her.

-Riley, you look amazing

-Thank you Charlie-she said blushing

-Riles, I love the dress-Maya said from the couch

-Aww, thank you peaches-Riley said, then she looked at Lucas waiting for him to say something but he wasn't looking at her, he was looking at Maya.

-Riley!-Topanga called from the kitchen-We have a special game for you

-What is it?-Riley said approaching her mother

-It's THE COUPLES' GAME!-Topanga said happily handing the board game to her daughter.

Riley widened her eyes, this couldn't end up good.

-Oh…thanks mom. Shall we play?-she said turning to her friends.

Everyone nodded except for Maya.

-I don't think it's a good idea…

-Come on Maya, it'll be fun-Lucas insisted-I'll be on your team

-Are you sure?

-Of course

-Okay then, let's play-she said smiling at him.

All the kids paired up, Riley with Charlie, Farkle with Smackle, Darby with Yogui and of course Maya with Lucas.

As Maya had thought, playing the game wasn't a good idea.

The game consisted in the following: Each round each couple would be asked two questions, one to each memebr of the couple to see if they knew each other. When a couple missed 5 questions they were eliminated. The problem was that while Smackle and Farkle and Yogui and Darby knew everything about each other, the couples formed by Lucas and Maya and Charlie and Riley weren't doing that well. Charlie knew everything about Riley and Lucas knew almost everything about Maya. Riley knew some things about Charlie, but she missed some questions too. And Maya, well, it wasn't that she didn't know the answers to the questions about Lucas, she did know some of them, but she couldn't answer them because the moment she'd hesitate, Riley would end up answering the questions for her so it would count as a missed question. At first Maya thought that it would be a onetime thing but when they were eliminated because of Riley she couldn't help but explode.

-Sorry Lucas, Maya-Sarah, who was the game show host, said-you're eliminated

-Of course, that's not a surprise, is it Riley?-she said standing up angrily.

-Maya…I didn't mean to

-Of course you did, congratulations, you made pretty clear that Lucas and I don't work as a couple, thank you-she said to Riley, then she turned to a shocked Lucas-I guess you should've partnered with her Huckleberry, for everything.

I know I know, bad ending, but I promise it'll get better on the next chapter, lots of cute moments between the couples

I really hope you've liked it
