Hi, I'm Bex and I am new to this fandom but I adore BMW and GMW. I'll be doing one-shots for this as I am just starting out. This first one is a take on how Riley meets her Uncle Eric in the upcoming episode Girl Meets Mr. Squirrel. It has been confirmed that BMW cast members are making appearances in GMW so this is my take on how it actually happens. Every chapter will be in Riley's POV. And there's a reference in this chapter, guess what it is :) Thanks for reading!

Girl Meets Mr. Squirrel

As my family, Maya, Lucas and Farkle hopped onto the train with me, I smiled at Crazy Hat who winked in return. There were barely any seats so Lucas offered his lap. Of course, Dad cut in before I actually completed the action. "Why doesn't Auggie sit there?" he offered, smiling innocently.

"Sure, Mr. Matthews." Lucas grinned back before placing my baby brother onto his lap.

"You could have just offered the seat, you know?" Maya mumbled. Farkle turned to her, smiling flirtatiously.

"Well, you could sit on my lap?" Farkle offered. Maya smiled back then frowned.

"No." she simply said. I giggled at their antics and realised that we had stopped.

"Alright, kids. Off we get." Mom said, picking Auggie up from Lucas as we trailed out the train.

"Next stop, Madison Square Garden." Dad announced excitedly before grabbing my hand and Maya's as we rushed through the busy station.

When we finally got out, I breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is everyone here?" Mom asked, placing Auggie down and holding his hand.

"Let's see," Dad said before looking round at us. "We have Riley, Maya, Farkle and Lucas."

"What about me?" Auggie pouted. Dad chuckled and bent down to pick him up.

"No-one can ever forget about you, Auggie." Dad replied before Auggie giggled.

"Well, let's get going!" Mom said, as we crossed the road and entered the fabulous garden.

"It's beautiful." Lucas said. "We don't get many nice gardens like this back in Texas."

Maya smirked. "You don't, Ranger Rick? Awh, now that's just not dandy!" Lucas only smiled in response.

"Knock it off, Maya." I said before turning to Lucas. "You've never been here before?"

Lucas shook his head. "No, I haven't. Thanks for bringing me here, Mr. and Mrs Matthews."

"It's no problem, Lucas." Mom smiled. "Right, you kids can go off and we will meet each other right here, in an hour."

"Okay Mom!" I said, already dragging my friends along.

The four of us wondered about, taking in the beautiful sights as we talked about life in New York compared to Texas.

"Honey! Where are you?!" A man with long, wild brown hair and long brown beard with unruly clothing yelled.

We just stared at him, freaked out. That is, until I finally decided to help him a little bit.

"Uh, hi?" I said, the man turning around to face me with a smile. "Are you looking for someone?"

"Yes, oh will you help me find her?" he asked.

"Sure." Lucas said. "What does she look like?"

"She's a moose. She's my wife." The man said proudly.

"Uh... I do not think there are any moose here in New York, dude." Maya said, all of us backing away from him.

"I think there are! Look at this picture. It's one of us together in front of the Empire State Building."

"Then okay, we'll help you, Mr...?" Farkle smiled.

"Mr. Squirrel! I am Mr. Squirrel." We looked at him, as if he was crazy.

"Okay, wacko. Let's get searching." Maya sighed.

It took an hour but we finally found the moose, his apparent wife.

"You found my wife!" Mr. Squirrel announced, happily.

"Yeah, she was just grazing over there." Lucas said, leading the moose back to its owner.

"How can I repay you?" Mr. Squirrel asked.

"Riley? Maya? Lucas? Farkle?" We heard my dad call. "Where are you?"

"Over here!" I called back.

My parents and little brother came into view as Dad sighed in relief.

"You can trust them." Mom chuckled.

"Topanga..." My dad simply said, making her roll her eyes.

"No way!" Mr. Squirrel yelled, looking straight at my parents. "I know you!" he grinned.

"Sorry, but do we know you?" Mom asked, pulling us away from the man.

"Uh, guys, it's me." Mr. Squirrel said.

"Me who?" Dad asked.

"Seriously, Cor? You don't remember your own big brother?" WHAT?!

Dad's face wore shock as Mom's wore surprise. "Eric?" Dad asked. Uncle Eric. The notorious Uncle Eric I had never met. The man nodded, grinning.

"It's good to see you, little bro! And of course, Topanga!" Uncle Eric/Mr. Squirrel said.

"It's good to see you, too, big bro!" Dad said, before hugging him. He immediately leaned back. "Uh, why are you dressed like this?"

"Remember the argument we all got into when Rachel, Jack and Angela were against you, Topanga and Shawn?"

"Uh... I remember that." Dad said, nodding at Mom who also shrugged and nodded.

"I had a dream!" Uncle Eric said dramatically. "Well, more like a vision into the future... Anyway, I was Mr. Squirrel and I was married to a moose. It was all because of the book I read about Ghandi and remember I started my own?"

"I guess we remember." Mom smiled softly.

"Yeah, so that's why I'm like this. I carried out my dream." Uncle Eric smiled.

"Okay." Dad shrugged.

"So, how do you know these helpful kids?"

"This one," Dad started, placing his hands on my shoulders as I grinned. "is our daughter, Riley."

Uncle Eric started to laugh. "Oh my God! Cory with Topanga's hair!" he said.

"I get that a lot." I shrugged.

"This little cutie, is our son, Auggie." Mom introduced. "And those are Riley's friends."

"Cool. So, what do you guys do now?" Uncle Eric asked, taking a pizza slice from his pocket, making us all look at him weirdly.

"Uh..." Dad said, watching him eat it. "I'm a teacher."

"Like F-F-F-Feeny?!" Uncle Eric laughed.

"Yes, like George Feeny." Dad smiled.

"And I am a lawyer." Mom announced proudly.

"Damn Cory, how did you get yourself into this?" Uncle Eric asked, patting Dad's back. "You stand no chance."

"He never did." Mom smiled. "Oh, we were going for lunch. Wanna join?"

Uncle Eric smiled, softly and nodded. "Thought you'd never ask."

And that was how I met Mr. Squirrel who turned out to be my long lost uncle, Eric.
