A/N: I got inspired for this story after watching Girl Meets Home For The Holidays where Joshua said to Maya, "Wow you grew up gorgeous" and then Maya smiled. I absolutely loved Joshaya after that episode and I hope they start dating if possible. So I hope you guys like this! I made this as a oneshot but if you guys want I could turn it in to a story. So if I get a lot of reviews to make it into a story then It'll be a story!

Riley was in her room thinking about what happened between Maya and Joshua after Joshua came to visit.

She thought it was sweet of her uncle to say that Maya grew up gorgeous but then she felt a little bit weird about it. Having Maya for an aunt would be cool but just a little bit weird.

Riley was lost in her thoughts and didn't see see her window opening and Maya crawling inside.

"Hey Riley What's up?" Maya asked her.

Riley didn't hear her.

"RILES!" Maya yelled across Riley's room.

"Huh? What Maya when did you get here?" Riley asked looking confused.

"Like 2 minutes ago. You didn't hear me opening the window?" Maya asked.

"No I guess I was lost in thinking about something" Riley said.

"About what?" Maya asked curious.

"About Joshua" Riley said.

"Yeah. About Joshua Riley. Um.. I have something to tell you about Joshua" Maya says scratching her neck not really sure of how to tell Riley what she wants to tell her.

"What is it?" Riley asks.

"I like Joshua and I want to ask him out" Maya says quickly hoping that Riley wouldn't be mad at her.

Riley slaps Maya across her face. Maya puts her hand up to her left cheek where a bruise just started to form.

"I'm sorry Maya just go from here. JUST GO RIGHT NOW!" Riley yelled at her.

Maya did as she was told obeying her friend. She left Riley's room quickly through her door and then out of the apartment and back to her house.

Riley shut the door and went back to her bed. How could Maya ask her this? That she likes Joshua and that she wants to ask him out? Riley couldn't believe this. I mean yeah they've been good friends for a long time but them dating? There's a 2 year age difference between them for crying out loud! It would just look weird.

And what if their date went well? Then it would turn into them getting married and then Maya becoming Riley and Auggie's aunt. That would just be kinda of weird.

But then Riley thought practically for a minute.

I mean Joshua is the nicest guy in the world and he's family so he'd never hurt Maya. And they've known each other for a long time so it's not like it wouldn't work out or they would end up breaking up. She and Maya have been best friends for a long time so she wouldn't even try to hurt Joshua either. Also it was normal for their to be a 2 to 3 year age difference up or down in couples. Like mom and dad for example. They were just one year apart so it was normal.

Now Riley realised what she has to do. She got out her phone and called Maya.

"Maya can you come over?" Riley asked through the phone.

"Sure yeah on my way" Maya said and hung up. Three minutes later Maya crawled in through Riley's window and landed in her bedroom.

Maya walked towards Riley.

"Hey" She says.

"Hey" Riley replies.

"Maya I'm sorry for slapping you like that. I didn't mean it. I was just..Surprised when you told me everything about Joshua" Riley said feeling guilty.

"It's okay Riles I'm not mad at you. I don't blame you for being mad like that. It's fine" Maya said forgiving Riley.

"Good and after I thought about for a little bit I permit you to date Joshua" Riley said to Maya.

"What Really?" Maya asked surprised.

"Yeah really" Riley said smiling.

"Yay! Thank you thank you Riley!" Maya said cheerfully jumping up and down.

"No problem bestie. Now come to the main room with me" Riley said.

Riley and Maya walked out of Riley's bedroom and into the main room of the Matthew's apartment.

Unbeknowest to Maya Riley had texted Joshua to come over to the apartment.

"So what are we waiting for?" Maya asks a bit confused.

"Just wait a second Maya. In 3..2..1" Riley counted off and Joshua came bursting in through the door out of breath.

Joshua came inside out of breath.

"I got here as quick as I could Riley. What's the big emergency?" Joshua asks while standing in the doorway.

Riley walks Maya over to where Joshua was standing.

"Riley what is this? What are you doing?" Maya asks confused of what Riley was trying to do.

"I'm doing my duty and my right now ask him" Riley told Maya.

Maya took a deep breath and started, "Um..Joshua will you go out with me?" Maya asks not meeting Joshua's gaze and looking at the ground a bit nervous.

"I thought you'd never ask" Joshua said and smiled cutely at Maya.

Maya walked over to Joshua smiling.

They both stood in the doorway where Riley told Joshua, "Be home by 6" in a strict mom tone who was letting her daughter go on a date for the first time.

"Yes mom we will" Maya says to her "mother" in a mocking tone.

Joshua and Maya walk out of the apartment. Maya sticks her arm back and does a thumbs up to Riley. Riley does a thumbs up back. Riley smiled at her and Joshua walking out.

Riley closed the door once they were out. She turned and went back in to the apartment and thought happily, "Maybe having Maya for an aunt won't be so bad" with a smile at them both.

XOXO
