Maya's POV
My name is Maya Hart. I am an eighth grade student at John Quincy Adams middle school. My friends for Riley, Farkle and Ranger Rick-I mean Lucas, Zay and Smackle. 10 months before the school dance, Riley came up to me. "The formal is in 10 months, and Lucas still hasn't asked me to it," she said. "Well, Riley," I said as I slammed my locker door closed. A scream came from the other room. "If he doesn't ask you a couple days away from it, I'm going to look at you like this and say 'You got a problem'". 5 months from the school dance, Riley told me again, and I said the same thing. Today, I said the same thing. "You got a problem, peaches," I said.
[Theme song]
I've been waiting
For a day like this to come
Struck like lightning
My heart's beatin' like a drum
On the edge of something wonderful
Face to face with changes
What's it all about
Life is crazy, but I know I can work it out
'Cause I got you to live it with me!
I feel alright, I'm going to take on the world
Light up the stars I've got some pages to turn
I'm singing
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
Take on the world
Take on the world
Take on the world
Take on the world
Take on the world

"OK, if Bucky McBoing-Boing is going to give you the big surprise, you'll probably have balloons in your locker," I said. "Balloons!" Riley said. "A disco ball...Yogi on skates..." I kept listing things and everytime I said it, it happened. "Make more stuff happen!" Riley said, squealing. "He'll come up behind you and ask," I said. I saw someone coming but it definitely wasn't Ranger Rick. "Will you-" was all he got to say before Riley turned around and screamed, "YES! YES! I WOULD LOVE TO GO TO THE DANCE WITH YOU!" As soon as she said that, she realized that she made a mistake. It was Charlie Gardner, and 5 seconds later, Ranger Roy showed up and since he thought that Riley was going with Charlie, he said "I'll see you later, Riley." "Wait!" she called. "I thought we were going!" "Well, I naturally thought we were going together," he said and left.
Farkle Minkus's home:
Farkle's POV
OK, get ready for the big ask. I was planning on asking Maya out to the dance and maybe, just hopefully, have my first REAL kiss. I was going to come to Maya with a rose and ask. I started walking to the bay window, where Maya and Riley were talking. I cleared my throat. Here goes... "Maya, would you wish to go to the dance together?" I said. "Not now Farkle, Riley has problems," she said. "It's OK, Maya," Riley said. "Let him talk." "Thank you, Riley," I said. I got in their room and said again, "Maya, will you go to the dance with me?" She gasped. "I don't know what to say!" she said. "But-YES!"
At the dance, at the punch table:
"I'm having a fun time," Maya said. "And could you bring me to the library? I need to get something." Maya Hart, reading? Huh. I'll go along with it. She walked in and turned on the light. "But there's no one in here," I said. "I know," she said. Then Maya locked the door. "What are you do-" I was ambushed with a wonderful kiss. It felt like the entire world broke into flowers, and we were the only ones left there. "Wow," I finally said after we ran out of breath. "That felt great. Will you be my girlfriend, Maya Hart?" "Yes, I will." She kissed me again in joy.
