Hi all, first FanFic I've posted in awhile! This takes place from Season 6 onwards of Boy Meets World with some of the original storylines included (though they may be tweaked slightly!) So I do not own any of the Boy Meets World characters or storylines, apart from the character Madison and a couple of storylines! Please Read and Review!

Chapter 1

Everything was about to change.

They had graduated from high school and were leaving home for the first time, well, two of them were, one had moved in and out of his Father's home for years but now they would finally be living without an adult (or older sibling) supervision. This was a new beginning for them all.

As the three of them headed of to begin their new lives at Pennbrook university however, some people were facing even more change, coming to a different town, state or even country completely alone. And one of those people didn't know what a change the three friends travelling together were about to make to their life…

Cory Matthews and Shawn Hunter pulled in to the student parking lot of their dorm rooms at Pennbrook University, their friend, and Cory's fiancé, Topanga Lawrence had arrived a few hours earlier, she was all set up and was waiting for the boys to arrive, she was determined to help set up their dorm room and make sure it wasn't a mess from day one.

The boys walked through the gardens to their dorms, this was the time of year when Pennbrook looked its best. After a long hot summer, the cool September breeze made the still green leaves dance before they turned to a beautiful crimson and dropped to what by then would be a sludge covered ground. Each flower of the gardens glowed as the sun light bounced off the petals and a long with the clear blue sky the university was full of colour… though with the students returning that may not last long…

Topanga was stood waiting for them in the door way of the building, her mousy blonde hair pulled up in to a ponytail on the top her head and her pink sweater tied around her middle, separating her white t-shirt and jeans. "Hey guys!" She hugged them both, taking a bag off of each of them. "Your room is just down the hall from mine!"

Shawn frowned "Why did they gave you our dorm number?"

"They didn't" She said as they made their way up the stairs "Whoever wrote out the induction lists for the dorms really needs to use a smaller font!"

After another flight of stairs and forcing their way through loud crowded corridors they reached Cory and Shawn's room, with Topanga's just three doors down. The friends look at each other, at the door of number 368 and back again.

"So this is it…" Cory gave Shawn a nervous look.

"It is. We're no longer boys." Shawn placed his hand on the brass door handle "We're men."

The door swung open for them to find two single beds with bedside tables, along with two desks and space for clothes. All four walls were a light grey colour, boring in comparison to the colour of the rooms they were used to having at home, it was a lot smaller too. Shawn threw his bag on to the bed nearest the window "Why the hell did I let you convince me to live on campus when I could have stayed in my nice big room at Jack's?"

"Because you wouldn't have gotten the full college experience!" Cory cried "Come on Shawn, Jack and Eric have done the Freshmen thing, they aren't going to want to come to parties and stuff, you need to do this with your fellow classmates."

"Hmm." Shawn wasn't quite convinced. At his older half-brother Jack's he had his own room, he could do whatever he wanted in his own space. As much as he was looking forward to living with Cory, he was certainly going to miss that.

"Come on Shawny." Cory laid back on the other bed "Just think about it. We're independent men now, no parents or older siblings to get in our way…"

A twinkle suddenly appeared in Shawn's eyes "All the girls…"

Topanga sighed "Shawn, you need to take college seriously, you can't just go around trying to get with girls…"

"I won't, I won't." He protested "It's just a nice plus that's all." He paused for a second "Hey hasn't your roommate got here yet?"

"No net yet. But she could be coming from anywhere so her plane could have easily been delayed." She looked at her watch. "Okay, I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this but I'm starving so would you rather go get food now and unpack later or unpack and then eat?"

Both Cory and Shawn jumped off their beds "Take us to the food!"

The three of them once again fought through the crowded halls and out in to the warm September breeze.

"Isn't it beautiful?" Topanga sighed, linking her arm through Cory's. "Just the kind of place I want to spend the next four years of our lives."

Shawn rolled his eyes "That's such a girly thing to say!"

As they entered through one side of the student union, they immediately noticed a girl with silvery blonde hair juggling several large bags as she made her way towards the registration desk, Cory and Topanga exchanged looks while Shawn's eyes stayed fixated on her.

"Maybe we should help her guys…" He didn't even give them a chance to answer, he went straight over to the girl and picked up the bag that she had just dropped to the fall. "Need some help?" He smiled

She gave him a shy smile in return "Thank you that would be great." She tucked a strand of hair behind her right ear "I'm Madison, Madison Daley." Madison felt her cheeks blush "I'm in room 360."

"Hey so am I!" Topanga grinned "Hi roomie, I'm Topanga…" She gestured towards Cory. "…and this is my fiancé Cory"

"Hey, nice to meet you!" Madison smiled back at them and then looked back at Shawn as he said "I'm Shawn Hunter, me and Cory are in room 368. Just down the hall from you."

"Oh so it's not too much bother for you to help me?"

"Well actually…" Cory began to speak but Shawn shot him a look "No it's fine Madison, we would be happy to help." Shawn removed another bag from her hand "It's right this way." He started to walk towards the door they had just come through with Madison quickly following him.

Cory sighed as he and Topanga slowly followed them hand in hand "Here we go again.

"Hmmm… but did it have to be my roommate? And on the first day we get here too? I have to share a room with her for at least a year!"

"She might not like him back." Cory tried to reassure her

"Only time will tell I guess…"
