Takes place in "Brothers", but you don't have to read "Brothers" to understand it.
It was night time in Philly. The sky was barely cloudy, enough so you could see the stars twinkling above you. In the middle of the hussle and bussle of Philly's "prime time" life, was a simple, lovely couple that loved each other dearly.
Cory and Topanga sat cuddling on their dorm room couch. Both in their pajamas, ready for bed, they sit comfortably watching Kid Gets Aquianted With Universe, feeding each other popcorn. T'was the episode where Rory met Lori at a ski lodge. Cory grinned.
"You know Rory and Lori do look good together." Cory said, tossing more popcorn into his lovers mouth.
"Oh, you just like her cause she reminds you of Lauren." Topanga said jokingly, but with a still begrudging tone to her voice.
"I do not!" Cory retorted, throwing the popcorn into his own mouth this time.
"Alright then Cory." Said Topanga rolling her eyes slightly. Cory was annoyed by her obvious sarcasm.
"You know I can't believe you still get on my case about that!" Cory got up and put the popcorn down on their coffee table and walked back to their bedroom, fluffing the pillows. Topanga was suprised by Cory's agitation, he usually would make a sarcastic remark and then wouldn't care. She walked slowly into the bedroom. He didn't acknowledge her.
"Cory...are you okay?" She asked hesitantly.
"No, no I'm not." Cory sat himself down on the bed, looking at Topanga. Topanga frowned, she knew this must have been something truly serious for Cory to be acting, sounding, or even looking like that. He had a defeated look to him.
"I dunno Topanga, I guess I'm just tired. I mean I'm trying to help Shawn with his problems, but he keeps pushing me away. And it just feels like everything is falling apart right now."
Topanga felt confused, "Even us?"
"No, never!" Cory said automatically. Topanga stared for a moment and then sat on the bed next to him. They were both silent. Topanga felt honestly rather angry. Cory had seemed to refferred to Shawn as "everything". And she was defintely tired of Shawn being his everything. Topanga got up and got out a suitcase and started putting some clothes in it.
"Topanga, Topanga what are you doing?" Cory got up and put his hand on Topanga's shoulder but she pushed it off.
"I'll be at my sisters." She said angrily and after closing the suitcase, she walked out the door, too fast at least, for Cory to stop her.
"Where are we going?" Eric looked over to the raven hair beauty to his left.
April laughed at him, "You'll see. Its one of my favorite places to be in the middle of the night."
They were driving up a mountain in April's black convertable. April had been driving Eric to his so called "surprise" for a hour or so now, and Eric was getting restless with his now about to burst bladder. He twitched uncomfortably in his seat, April looked at him and laughed kind of.
She finally parked on a wide little plain on the mountainside. April got out and looked over at Eric's seat, but he had already gone. She looked around.
"Eric?" She called and she laughed as she spotted him over by the bushes spilling it all out. He finsihed up, zipped his pants, and turned around to see her giggling at him.
"Don't laugh at my stomach disability!" He laughed.
"Don't you mean bladder?" She smiled.
"Bladder, stomach, whats the difference? Food goes in both of them anyway. So what did you bring me out here for anywa ---- oh my god." Eric went wide eyed as he looked up. The stars above shone more brightly than ever. They seemed to shine in different sizes, some big and some small. The moon of course shone a thousand times brighter than the rest, it was full that night. It was almost as though he was looking at the entirety of all the heavens all together. April smiled at his gaping and she walked towards him, and put her arms around his waist. He stroked her hair. This moment and everything about it, it was truly breathtaking. Beauty that Eric never knew exsisted stood before him in all its greatness.
Both Eric and April felt as though they had reached the top of the world in itself.
