When The

Parents Argue

Disclaimer: I own nothing but what you see here. I did own a 3DS charger til the puppy chewed it up though. So I've decided to do up something similar to my Arrow/Flash Possibilities fic for the Boy/Girl Meets World fandom (primarily for GMW). Hopefully this will prove to be as liked as Possibilities is. With that said, let's get on with the first chapter of Girl Meets Possibilities! This one was inspired by a Tumblr post.

Summary: Zay's view of an arguing Lucas and Maya comes to light with interesting results.

It was during the sophomore year of college for the High Five that a view point of Zay's came to light. One Riley wouldn't exactly be happy with as he would come to find out soon afterwards. Now one might think they would have all gone to separate colleges but the group had made a decision to stick together for the next step in their education. Something Stuart Minkus and Isadora Smackle hadn't been too happy about as Smackle had the belief that Farkle only did it to stay close to Riley, leading to a break up for the Genius Couple no matter what he tried to do to convince her otherwise. On Stuart's part, he felt his son was wasting his potential by not pursuing more advanced schooling but Jennifer had gotten her way about ensuring the man would support their son in whatever he did if it made him happy. The separation between the Genius Couple didn't last long thankfully due in part to Riley's interference that also involved a cat fight between the two girls.

A fight that only really started cause in a moment that was rare for Riley, she got highly annoyed with the other girl for being so damn stubborn to even really listen to anything she said. Riley would also be the one who wound up surprising her friends and family by being the one to experiment early on in college since everyone else thought that it'd be any of her friends instead who'd do it. Something Maya gave people an earful about when she heard about that particular line of thinking. Although nobody knew that Farkle and Isadora were up to some interesting things until their junior year of college. Now the thing that led to a revelation about Zay's view point all started one day at Topanga's when Maya and Lucas got into another of their arguments that one could probably set their watches by since the two had a love for bickering with one another that had been going on for years.

"Oh come on Ranger Rick! You were looking and you know it!" Yelled Maya with a finger pointed at him as she'd caught him earlier in the day at lunch staring at Mary Kraler's particularly lovely self.

He gaped at her in shock over that as his eyes had never strayed from the Blonde Beauty as she had proven to be more than enough for him to even bother thinking about looking elsewhere. "For the last time, I was not looking at her! Why would I!?"

"How should I know how your mind works!?"

"That's like asking how I should know how yours works!" Retorted Lucas, who'd yet to figure her out fully. A feat he believed only Riley had accomplished but refused to share the secret due to some pact she made with Maya.

Farkle and Zay believed he was being paranoid but he knew better! Especially when he had confronted the two girls over it at one point and they gave him this little smile implying they knew what he didn't know. Unfortunately for him, Lucas had yet to figure out they had only been messing with him that day. Maya honestly thought it'd be way more fun for him to figure her out fully with as little help as possible. Something that had gotten an eyeroll from Riley more than once as well. "Men aren't supposed to know how a girl's mind works! If they did, the universe would unravel."

Lucas rolled his eyes over that one. "Riiiiiight."

"So just admit you were lookin' at her and then we can move on." Really, its not like she hadn't looked at other guys a time or two as it was only natural. But its not like she would have done anything about it as she was with Lucas and intended to keep it that way. She figured that maybe he thought it would hurt her if he had been looking, which while sweet was so not the case at all.

Her boyfriend pinched the bridge of his nose before responding. "For cryin' out loud, I was lookin' at her chili cheese fries okay!?" He couldn't help it! He'd just been so damned hungry and the line had already been pretty long when he got there!

Zay couldn't help but chuckle over that one. "Don't you just love it when the parents argue? Its amazing none of us need therapy yet from it."

That got him a glare from not only the bickering couple but Riley as well but the couple didn't keep their focus on him for long though as Maya couldn't help but ask him with her voice filled with incredulousness if he was being serious. "Of course I'm bein' serious Shortstack, I was hungrier then two pigs at feedin' time when I got to the lunch room."

One of the things Maya couldn't help but love about the guy was his use of farm life references, even if he knew she was going to likely use any of it against him. But then again, that made things more fun that way for the two. Before they could get their argument going again, a clearing of the throat happened. Making the two turn to the source of it and seeing Katy Hart with her arms crossed while looking right at them. While her and Shawn hadn't been able to make it work as a couple due to his work, they were able to be good friends and the man continued to be a good influence for Maya. Even tag teaming with Cory when they grilled Lucas about his intentions towards her. Despite how things worked out between her mom and Shawn, he was the only man other than Cory Matthews she would even think of as a father figure and even call 'dad' right to his face.

"Now you know I love the both of you very much, but I still have to ask for the two of you to leave if you both insist on continuing your argument as its making the customers a bit uncomfortable." God, these two were just so weird but they made it work somehow.

After a quick look around the room, they noticed that the customers really were looking a bit uncomfortable and unhappy with their arguing. "Oh, sorry Ms. Hart." Apologized Lucas while looking guilty and making Maya want to roll her eyes.

"Yeah, sorry mom. We'll take this outside."

And with that, the two quickly took off to continue their argument outside. Leaving Zay on his own with Riley and Farkle who'd been trying to ignore everything around him in favor of studying. The ballet and hip hop dancer chanced a look in Riley's direction and thrown by the fact she was glaring at him! "Whoa! Why the glare!?"

"You know full well why." She told him sweetly in response and making him feel pretty confused.

Farkle had to keep himself from smiling or laughing as he knew his friend was about to get read the riot act! As anytime Riley got that sweet tone going, it usually meant some bad, bad things for anyone she used it on. Their old class mate Dave from John Quincy Adams Middle School, along with Charlie Gardner had found that out the hard way after a prank had gone wrong. "Uhh… No sugar, I sure don't." Replied Zay while trying to figure out where the heck the girl was going with the whole thing!

"Lucas and Maya are the parents of our group? That ring any bells in that head of yours?"

The way his eyes went wide in realization showed that it had done exactly that. "Oh! Well, yeah, I mean its obvious with them two isn't it?"

The look he got from Riley told him that she really didn't agree with that at all. "No! Its not obvious at all! I mean, wouldn't Farkle and I be the ones best qualified for the parent roles of this group!?" The look of disbelief Farkle shot her showed even he didn't believe that line of thinking.

"Actually… I see you two as the grandparents that everybody comes too when anything Lucas and Maya suggests happens to not work."

Riley's crossing of the arms and giving him a very unhappy look quickly clued him into the fact she really didn't think highly of what he'd just said. "GRANDPARENTS!? Are you saying I'm old!?"

Zay backed up while throwing his hands up in a defensive gesture. "Whoa! I'm not sayin' that at all Sugar!" He looked to Farkle for help but the genius was no help considering he was pretty much finding the whole thing funny as can be.

"Zay?" Came that sweet tone of voice yet again that had the dancer worried.

"Yeah?"

"You should really start running right now."

Young Mr. Babineaux could tell just how serious the girl was being and the memory of what happened with the last guy she used the sweet tone with came to mind. "Yeah, I'll.. Just uhh..." Instead of finishing what he was about to say, he was gone and Riley was soon after him and leaving a still laughing Farkle behind.

The two ran past Lucas and Maya who were quite occupied with one another in the form of making out after having settled their latest argument. One that had earned the good Huckleberry a new nickname in the form of 'Chili Friar'. "GET BACK HERE AND TAKE IT LIKE A MAN!" Yelled out Riley as she chased after Zay.

The kissing couple broke apart in confusion and watched their friends. "Should we do somethin' about that?" Asked Lucas to his girlfriend in confusion.

"Hmm… Nah." With that settled, the two got back to what they'd been doing before their two friends had come by.

"I REGRET NOTHING!" Shouted Zay and making for muffled laughter from the happy couple.

Author's Notes: Hope you all will have enjoyed this and I am willing to accept prompt ideas if you have any. And I seem incapable of writing something short, but I think that stems from the fact I dislike reading short stories and love long ones. I'm weird for that probably.
