1. monster high

A/N: the school is a mashup of monster high and rosario vampire because...monster high is for innocent hearts. Charlie is pretty cute and I don't understand how Riley prefers Lucas more? Like the guy taught someone to roller-skate for you. why are there so many unhappy/death Rilaya fics?

---

"How do I get there dad?"

"Depends. Today I think you should go to class, head down, and follow the grey road," Cory Matthew suggested.

Riley for a moment hoped that her dad was joking like, follow the yellow brick road, kind of joke except he turned abandoning his daughter to get his mail at the office.

"Okay then..." Riley accepted that her dad was going to be no help and went to class.

"Maybe he was kidding about transferring me to monster high too," Riley murmured, hope rising her spirits.

She sat down on her desk, five minutes before class was about to start, and relaxed. There was a peculiar sound of a machine whirling, and the tile beneath her pulled back, causing Riley and her chair to disappear. The students only heard a brief scream before the tile was back in place, and there was no evidence of Riley being there. Riley slid down a dark as night tunnel, screaming as hard as her lungs could allow, and flailing. The ride ended by Riley being spat out through a tomb.

"Owie," Riley said, body sprawled on the dead ground. "What happened," she brushed the dirt off of her as she got up and looked around. She was outside, standing on a graveyard, surrounded by creepy dead woods, and a few yards away was a giant looming purple castle. She immediately fell in love with the castle in all its purple glory. "Huh, I should take my dad more seriously."

Riley grabbed her bag and left the graveyard following a group of skeleton students to the main entrance. To her relief Lucas and Zay were already there, chilling by the stairs.

"Guys! Thank God I found you!" Her voice colored with relief at not having to face the music alone.

"Hey there girl! We were just getting worried that you got lost or fainted on the way. We were about to use the find my I-" Zay got elbowed in the gut by Lucas and he doubled over, focusing on getting breathing than speaking.

"What?" Riley asked.

"Ignore him," Lucas waved her question off like swatting a fly. "Dude stop. You're a vampire; you don't need to breath remember."

"Oh right," Zay straightend up relieved, he might get a bruise because Lucas didn't hit gently.

"Don't mind Zay or the other students for that matter. They're just not used to...well you know," Lucas glared at the eyes swiveling at them.

Riley tried to take his words to heart but it wasn't easy to ignore the whispers like, "check it out, normies," or "clay figure with some patches of fur," and, "odd bunch." Riley wanted to clasp her hands together, give up, tell her dad she wanted to go home, and never come her again. But she was against segregation, and couldn't very well back down now. The government was taking baby steps, experimenting with people like her and Lucas. Riley could barely qualify as a werewolf only because somebody down the family line of her dad was one, and Lucas was a demigod. There were two reasons why Lucas was going to monster high and not the one for royals and that's because the monster population finds Zeus to be the biggest slime ball, and because Lucas didn't want Riley to face monster high on her own.

Zay was the rarest anomaly in vampire history; unlike the rest of his kind he'll keep aging. Riley and Lucas had met him in elementary, he had been adopted so it was a surprise when his fangs grew out. In middle school Lucas and Riley had gone to the same middle school, but Zay had gone homeschool. It made Riley happy to know she wouldn't be separated from her childhood friends.

"Banos ambassadors! A costar la mundo!" Ray cried enthusiastically.

Zay frowned, "I don't know much Spanish, but I'm sure you said restrooms."

"Basically I said lets go," Riley clarified. She started to walk when Lucas's hand clamped down on her shoulder, and he had a serious face on.

"Don't stare at anyone, don't get too close, keep your head down, try not to piss anyone off by being too Riley," he warned her.

"But I'm Riley. I can't tamp down the Riley-ness," she retorted.

"True," Zay agreed, "and nobody excels more at being Riley than Riley."

"Guys," Lucas huffed, hand rubbing the tension gathering on his face, "please. First day in a bizarre world. We're literally fresh meat here."

"Ew," Zay said, nose scrunching up. He didn't like his meat alive, moving, or too rare.

"Come on Lucas. I'm sure the students of monster high will welcome us with open arms," Riley chirped.

From above rained severed arms, one bonked Riley on the head and dropped in front of her. All three friends screamed and jumped away at the landing zone for green, rotted arms. The students around them laughed hysterically at the three normies horrified and bewildered faces.

"What the-" Lucas got cut off by laughing from above.

They all looked up to see a few faces on the bell tower. The ones in the tower ducked from view, but Riley caught a glimpse of dirty blond hair and blue eyes.

"Jerks. Makes me want to grab one of these and slap them with it," Zay kicked one of the arms lying on the floor.

A zombie scampered forward, kicked Zay's ankle, and bent to pick up its arms.

"Sorry," Riley said nervously, hoping it wasn't going to lunge for Zay's brain, but the zombie grunted and limped away. She stared at it in awe, she's never seen a real zombie before.

"Good start so far," Lucas didn't hold back the sarcasm.

"Let's just head inside before our class starts," Riley looked at her ladybug watch. "Our classes that start in ten minutes." They all ran inside and got lost after four minutes. Currently they were walking circles in the schools dungeons.

"Why am I not surprised that the school would have a dungeon," Zay's voice echoed through the cavern.

"We took the stairs going up!" Lucas yelled.

"Maybe this is the attic?" Zay offered an explanation.

"This place is too open, and rocky to be an attic, Zay," Riley explained.

"How do they have the money to have a dungeon, but our middle school didn't have working toilets?" Lucas pointed out and the gang shrugged.

"This place here is the catacombs actually," a person appeared from the shadows. She had interesting red hair, rocker style clothing that matched perfectly with her hair, and cool dice earrings.

Zay screamed, " Oh crap! We can't be at the part where we get murdered already. Take the white guy, let him get killed first for a change."

"Hey!" Lucas said offended.

"Ignore them," Riley inched closer. "Hi I'm Riley and we're lost."

"I got that from the dungeon's comment. See any bars and chains anywhere? Operetta by the way. Pleasure to help new faces," Operetta smile was very friendly.

"Sorry about calling this area a dungeon," Zay was probably the only vampire in existence that could blush."Anything underground is categorized as a dungeon in my brain," Zay peered down, "has anybody fallen and gone splat from these height?" Zay asked.

"Don't know, this is only my second year. I don't think the janitor's go all the way down here anyway's," she added. The normies drew away from the edges. "Class started half an hour ago. Need help getting to class?"

"Yes!" Riley begged.

Operetta took them to a dirt wall, hands searching until she activated the sliding button and an elevator appeared. Lucas took out his map from his pocket, looking it over three times, "huh, that wasn't on the map." Zay snatched it away.

"You are no longer map holder," Zay informed Lucas and Riley had to agree.

"You're an odd bunch," Operetta giggled.

The three amigos flinched and Operetta regretted her wording, "not in a bad way I mean. Your dynamic is interesting."

"You don't care that we're too human?" Lucas drawled, studying her facial expression.

"Do you care I wear music notes?" She countered, and the group shook their heads. "Then I don't care about what or who you are. This is monster high. We're all different and accept each other's uniqueness."

"So the schools board preaches. I don't have higher hopes for this place than I had for my old middle school, and we just got pranked on earlier," Lucas grunted.

Operetta crossed her arms and fumed, "we can all agree that every school has its trouble makers and such."

" Lucas doesn't like bullies, but we do have high hopes for monster high," Riley stepped in and Operetta cracked a sunny smile.

"I'm sure the school won't disappoint. Most of my friends are really cool and the students here are amazing and open. Don't let what happen earlier discredit the school."

"It won't," Zay grinned, but his eyes kept shyly jumping from Operetta's face to the floor, ceiling and anywhere in view; Riley and Lucas smiled knowingly.

"I'll take you to class."

"Oh no, I'm sure you need to be getting back," Riley dismissed her but Operetta gagged.

"There's the most boring lecture going on there. Rather miss it to be honest. Let's go," Operetta said, stepping.

The friends shrugged and followed. Lucas class was the nearest one, engineering class.

"Don't look so down Lucas, doesn't the male species like fixing stuff," Riley pushed him so he could enter but he didn't budge.

"I got a feeling that this isn't just going to be a read of the book kind of class," Lucas sighed, saluted them and walked in.

"What's your class?" Operetta asked Riley.

Riley pulled out her schedule and handed it to Operetta, "ohhh interesting. Mad science."

"...your right that sounds interesting," Riley wondered if it was too late to stay in the catacombs. She didn't like when things blew up on her face, figuratively or literally.

After a dozen more turns, shortcut lockers, sliding stairs, and flipping walls, they made it Riley's class. Monster high was bigger than it seemed and it the halls smelled like a battle between mops, fire, and perfume. Riley guessed that the students of monster high didn't like their natural smells and coated it with human perfume. It bothered her nose almost as much as Zay's deodorant did, and times like these she was glad she didn't have a wolf's nose.

"Here we are. I'm sure the professor wont mind you be more than half an hour late. If anything tell them I was helped you find this class. He trusts me," Operetta promised.

Zay quirked an eyebrow at her, " weren't you skipping too?"

"Shush honey. Good luck Riley."

Riley gulped, feeling apprehensive, the door swinging open without her permission or touch; was it a sensor door or a haunted one? She shuffled inside to be greeted with a hundred eyes following her. Seriously, one blue tinged student had a hundred eyes all over his body. The Victorian dressed teacher stopped speaking to eye her distastefully.

"Uh hi!" Riley waved, fidgeting in place, "I, uh, got really lost."

"Your part of the 'human's are friend's not food' program?" He asked, examining her.

"Yes," Riley wondered which administrator was the Disney fan that came up with the name.

"You are incredibly late. I'll show mercy today but don't be late again," he flicked to the only empty seat in the front second row. Riley almost missed it because a giant green globe was in front of the seat. She sat down feeling the stare's and sniff's from the student's around her.

"Hey want me to show you the notes since," the boy next to her whispered, gesturing at the green globe.

"That would be helpful."

"I'm Farkle," his white wings flapped excitedly. Riley wondered what kind of monster he was. She didn't have a keen nose and couldn't use it to identify him. She tried to ask her Omega, but the creature stayed mute, and payed more attention to the creatures nearest to her that had claws and were bigger. She sensed no danger from Farkle so she relaxed. He had Einstein's face on his shirt and blue highlights on his dark brown hair.

"Riley Matthew," she perked up in the prospect of making a friend. "Be honest Farkle, how much danger am I of being blown up in this class?"

"There's a high rate of injury in this class, but we have a killer nurse near here."

Riley gulped, "killer as in good or actual killer."

The teacher shushed them before Farkle could respond. The teacher handed the syllabus, and they were given their first task that involved a seed, chemical's and other science tool's. Riley despaired and looked at Farkle for help but he was almost jumping in his seat looking extremely happy.

"Identify your seed, use the correct formula to make it grow. Do it wrong and you'll go boom," the teacher instructed.

Riley frowned, "I don't want to go boom." She looked at her stuff again and then back at Farkle. He caught her helpless look this time and slowly did his work so Riley could copy. She finished five minutes before the bell rang and the teacher dismissed them.

"Thank you Farkle," Riley sighed tiredly and she was only done with her first class.

"No problem. Me and my girlfriend can help you if you want?"

"Farkle you have a girlfriend! Farkle you dog!" A werewolf by the locker growled at her. "Uh sorry. Just a saying, didn't mean any offense."

"What's your next class?" Farkle guided her away from the growling creature.

"Dead languages."

"Oh an easy class."

"What's easy about learning a dead language?"

Farkle looked at with eyes full of pity, "poor mortal brains. So limited in space, attention and detail." Riley couldn't very well deny it. "Let me take you there before you're late again."

The class consisted of mostly older students who were probably alive during the roman empire so no doubt knew how to speak multiple dead language's in their sleep. The desks in the back and middle row were already taken so Riley went to the 2nd row. She hesitated on sitting down when she noticed who was in front of her. The girl in front of her wore a honey brown leather jacket and had familiar blond hair to the girl from earlier that pranked Riley and her friends.

The girl must've sensed Riley's stare because she whipped back to glare at her, with a cold smirk on her face.

"Have something to say?" The girl asked casually, her blue eyes as cold and hard as a glaicer.

"Uh, just, uh, you have pretty eyes," Riley stammered out and almost faced palmed. Her omega was completely tense, sensing the trouble that this girl could be and ready to lash out; Riley however, wanted to get away from this confrontation without any bruises or mental scars. She was sure she could get anyone to open up to her if she was nice, and being nice was in her nature.

The girl looked taken back at first, then checked Riley out from head to toe with more curiosity in her haunting eyes, she stood up and even though Riley was taller she knew that the other girl was more powerful, and outclassed her. The girl took one sniff and the sly smirk was on her face again like she was winning at whatever was happening right now. Riley smiled easily, but didn't crane her neck to exposure.

"That's all you're going to say? Compliment my eyes," amusement laced her words. Riley checked her out too.

"You have nice hair and I love how your clothes look on you...oh wait are you one of those people that don't like to have the obvious pointed out," Riley asked becoming more alarmed.

The girl's eyes milted some of it's harsh ice and she chuckled," I don't mind being complemented. Thanks dove, you have a sunny smile."

"Dove?" Riley asked but the bell rang and the professor rose from her desk.

"Welcome class! From this day on, no English allowed," she commanded and Riley died a little inside.

Riley's hand shot up "B-but I only know spanglish!"

The teacher shook her head and began writing on the board.

The girl in front turned to Riley with a twinkle in her beautiful blue eyes," Bienvenido al infierno, tesoro," she said kindly. Riley's brain couldn't translate it anything but welcome.

At last Riley was reunited with her friends during lunch in the cafeteria. The cafeteria was full of ghouls and some ghosts were floating in the air, eating lunch. Lucas had a thousand SpongeBob band aids on his hands, Zay was missing some hair, and Riley was holding back laughter.

"So...how has today gone so far?" She inquired.

"Ugh," they both grunted.

"There's this weird girl in my class called Smackle who wouldn't stop flirting with me. Who names their child Smackle, and in that same page what siren takes engineering," Lucas questioned?

"Lucas, girl's can like math," Riley reprimanded him.

"But a siren! I would have thought she wanted something more to do with water."

"Hey man, let's not assume," Zay poked his meat with his fork and it screamed at him. He pushed it away.

"Hey Zay, what do you think about Operetta?" Riley asked deviously.

"Uh-" Zay blushed, "uhm, I mean, uh she's okay. I mean she's uh interesting," he stammered, looking down.

"Look at you, lover boy! What have you been up to?" Lucas patted him on the back.

"Awww you like her!" Riley giggled.

"Whaaaaa- no," he scoffed, "I don't- that's crazy!" He denied lousily.

Riley scampered up, eyes wide, and alarmed from their table. Lucas smiled, reaching out to her, "Whoa there! Where's the fire? I thought we were going to hound Zay more."

"Oh no," Riley repeated over again when she saw the girl from her dead language class. She was with her posse of felines, reptiles, and other mean creatures, looking intimidating. "Oh no, she's getting closer. Hide me!" She ducked behind of Lucas and Zay.

"Who are you hiding from? Riley the day isn't even done yet and you've gotten on someone's bad side already," Zay whispered.

"The small blond girl?" Riley pointed from the space below Zay's armpit.

"You mean Maya? Is she bothering you?" Lucas asked squinting.

"Is she a leprec- oh nope. Scales and scary face. Not a leprechaun. Reptile?" Zay muttered.

"That's her name, Maya? Oh noooo, oh no! Lucas what do I do! She's pretty, scary, and cool. Lucas! Oh my God she's getting closer."

"Riley don't freak, just relax," Zay told her.

"No I will not relax! I humiliated myself in fro-in back of her in dead languages class. I can't show my face to her ever or I'll combust from embarrassment."

"Don't be so dramatic," Riley's response was to pinch Zay's arm.

Maya passed by them and Riley thought she was on the clear, when Maya turned her head and winked at her, then went to getting her lunch.

"She winked at me," Riley noticed a bit dazed at Maya's actions, her omega was also confused and interested at the change in behavior. "Oh no... I think I have a bad case of the queer," Riley whispered to herself.

"Riles your holding my shoulder too tight," Lucas said dragging her away from the inside of her head.

"Oh sorry," Riley let go and he massaged his shoulder.

"Awwww you like her. Does she complete you? Make you nervous? Does she make you feel like you're flying? Is she your puzzle piece, your-" Zay teased mercilessly.

"Okay Zay, she gets it," Lucas stopped him.

"Whhaaaa," Riley scoffed."I don't even...shut up Zay!"

"Wait, what!" Lucas frowned disapprovingly, " you like Maya? Riley, she's a bully! To be specific she's our bully. Don't let that face fool you. Look what she did to my hands," he said showing his band-aid hands.

"The shorty did that you! Riley your crush is a, throw severed arms at people because it'll be funny, kind of person!" Zay asked.

"You're right she's dangerous," Riley looked around for Maya.

"Hey," Lucas snapped his fingers next to her ears, "stop looking around with an eager gaze," he squeezed her arm. "Promise me you're gonna avoid her. She's nothing but trouble."

"I promise," she vowed. "Geez, relax Lucas. We can't even communicate in dead language class so I'm never going to be able to speak to her again."

"Good. Let's head out before we're late again," Lucas carried their ignored school lunches.

The hallways weren't populated, but there were some really large football players and wrestling team members blocking the space so they had to take longer routes. Lucas and Zay dropped Riley off in front of her class, they didn't trust her not to get killed by getting there herself.

"Later babe," Zay waved, then they took off.

Riley skipped into art class and bumped into Maya, she almost fell but Maya steadied her.

"Careful there princess. We need to start saying hello in a friendlier manner," Maya grinned.

"Maya!" Riley blushed. "How did you know my dream was to be a princess!"

"You give off a princessy vibe. How do you like your castle?" Maya crossed her arms.

"Not bad," Riley giggled, "could use some company. There's room for more than one princess in this joint," Riley smiled at her.

"Thanks dove, but I'm a dragon. My job is to prowl and make sure the princess stay's in the castle," Riley's eyes widened, her Omega bristled and crouched, Riley on the other hand let her mouth form into a o.

"Oh, that's cool. I'm a werewolf...well not really. I can't transform or anything, just distantly related. You know what would be even more cool! A werewolf princess riding a dragon. They would be the coolest team, going on adventures, and making new friends. Making the world theirs!"

"Figures you'll think like that," Maya snorted uncrossing her arms, tapping Riley on the nose and the action had her Omega snort too. The Omega sat back and observed Maya more relaxed now.

"Let's go sit," Riley said, grabbing Maya's hand and pulling her along. Maya wasn't sure how to respond to the physical contact or Riley's excited smile and let herself go with the flow.

"Do you watch game of thrones?" Maya asked and Riley gasped.

"No. My dad told me that it's violent and inappropriate."

"You're a daddy's girl," Maya noted.

"I'm a mommy's and daddy girl," Riley corrected.

"Okay, let me tell you about the wolf and dragon and their tragic end."

"I hate tragic endings. Can't it have a happy one Maya, please?"

Maya shook her head exasperatedly amused by Riley's antics, "sure, just this one time I'll tweak the story. So the story goes, the dragon saw the majestic and beautiful wolf, and he fought for her favor..." Maya began gesturing.

---

"Mommy, daddy, I want to see game of thrones," Riley announced.

"Why?" Topanga asked looking up from her laptop.

"Because I want to see the dragon fall in love with the wolf at first sight," Riley squealed, "and marry and have cute, strong, and wise dragon pup's," Riley finished whimsically.

Topanga and Cory glanced at each other, "You're going to regret this. Okay big girl, don't say we didn't warn you."

Riley was fine until Ned Stark got his head cut off, she swore she would never forget or watch the show again.

Her friends noticed her devastated face the next day.

"What's wrong Riley?" Lucas asked, his hand making comforting circles on her back.

"I wasn't expecting winter to start that way," was the only thing explanation.

"Hey did you know this school has a outside pool for mermaid?" Zay successfully got Riley off her depressed mood.

"What mermaids? Like Ariel?"

"So I heard or we can go look for some witches."

Riley scrunched her nose and they all shuddered, "ugh witches. To the mermaid!"

On the way there they saw Maya and her friends surrounding Farkle. The group looked mean, lean, and frightening, Farkle was a tiny sheep in the middle of it.

"Hey! What's going on here!" Lucas yelled, running over there.

"So much for keeping our heads low," Zay muttered to Riley who was jogging to Maya.

"Why don't you loser's go back to the bitch that birthed you," the cat one hissed at Riley, "that means you too bastard," at Lucas, "and the rejected Edward Cullen."

"Hey!" Zay was very much offended.

"Maya stop! This isn't right. What would the dreamy dragon prince say to your behavior," Riley chastised her, but also grasped Maya's hand within her own. The mean cat with orange hair hissed at Riley's familiarity with Maya and for a second, Riley's Omega took control and growled back, but Riley hid behind Maya, not releasing her hand.

"Alright guys we've had our fun. Why don't we go?" Maya tried to defuse the situation, and instinctively squeezed Riley's hand.

The orange haired one, who Riley guessed was the main leader, scoffed, "no way! I'm not done with this loser."

"It's okay Riley and-" Farkle looked at Lucas and Zay, "people I don't know. Toralei, Maya and these other beautiful ladies can do whatever they want with me," Farkle flirted and the posse gagged.

"Never mind these normies stink. We're out of here."

Maya tugged at their hands, and Riley blushed letting go. Maya smiled slyly and said to her, "see you later dove."

"I'll see you in class right?" Riley asked ecstatically.

Maya glanced at her leaving friends, "not sure," as if sensing the omegas disappointment, she hurried to remedy it, "maybe. I'll try to show up."

"Okay," Riley grinned.

"That was weird," Farkle said once the gang was gone. "I've never seen Maya act like that. I'm Farkle," he bowed dramatically to Lucas and Zay. "Thank you for the back up."

"No problem man, I mean manster. We were just heading to the pool. Maybe you could show us the way?" Zay whirled around to see if he could spot any pool but no such luck.

"Sure. I was just heading there to see my girlfriend," Farkle quipped.

"You have a girlfriend," Lucas said incredulously. "Everyone has or is getting in a relationship. At least I have you Riley."

"Always happy to be here for a friend," Riley assured him.

"Ouch," Farkle laughed. "To the pool!"

"To the pool!" Everyone cheered.

The pool was protected by a fence, and it was pretty deep from what they could tell. All types of sea monsters were chilling there.

"Darling!" the siren left the pool when she saw them approaching, but then spotted Lucas, "oh no it's you! Are you stalking me now!"

"Smackle! Smackle is your girlfriend!" Lucas glanced at the pair becoming increasingly horrified.

"I'm taken! Stop coming on too strong," Smackle stated, Zay snorted, Riley failed in suppressing her laughter, and Farkle chuckled.

"Now that we've all met I think this is going to be a great year for friendships."

Maya noticed something was off during dead language class when Riley wouldn't talk to her. They couldn't speak to each other anyway because Riley couldn't talk anything but spanglish and the teacher only permitted that because she had low expectations for Riley. Maya did expect eye contact and a smile, but Riley kept avoiding her eyes when she tried turned. At first that annoyed Maya and she didn't try to talk to Riley again after the bell rang and everyone escaped for lunch. The dragon caved in art class not liking being ignored.

"Here, I got you purple paint," she had seen last class that even if Riley was a crappy artist she loved painting purple cats.

"You did! Yay! Thank you Maya," Riley smile quickly morphed into a frown."No, wait, I'm mad at you and I won't be swayed by purple paint."

Maya rolled her now slit eyes "Will you tell me why you're upset?"

"You were bullying Farkle!" Riley crossed her arms. " Farkle is nice and doesn't deserve it. A flower like you shouldn't do it."

"Look at the princess already telling me what to- wait did you just call me a flower?" Maya asked confused. " What kind of insult is that. You suck at giving nick names normie."

Riley's omega huffed and Riley copied it, "its not an insult, you do remind me of a flower. And I'm just telling you what your suppressed conscious is telling you."

Maya blushed, eyes turning back to normal, "Whatever weirdo. Come on," Maya grabbed Riley's hand and made Riley sit next to her. Her Omega snorted amusedly and Riley briefly wondered why her wolf was more active these days.

"Why didn't you tell me they kill Sansa's wolf!" Riley asked wide eyed. "I cried."

"I didn't tell you to go see it. Besides if I had known you'd cry I wouldn't have told you."

"I was promised romance and adventure!"

"Welcome to the real world preciosa."
"There you go again Maya. English please."

"You need to hear it a lot if you're ever going to learn."

"Guess we're going to be talking for years then,"

"Sounds good," Maya smiled at happy brunette. "Believe it or not, I'm actually very patient when I want to be."

The way to school the next day Riley got sucked in through her human's school trash chute and exited at monster high's fountain. She coughed out water, wiped her face and blinked owlishly. Her bag had slipped from her grasp and laded safely, if slightly wet, outside of the fountain. Riley had never been to this area of the school and was lost.

A person in a radiation protection suit sat on a bench next to the fountain, reading a book.

"Hi," Riley trudged out of the fountain and held her hand to the ghoul. The ghoul got up to leave. "I'm sorry, you don't have to leave. The school is just really big and I was w-" the ghoul ignored her walking away, "-ondering if you could tell me where I am. My map was in my pocket and no wet. Wait," Riley tried grab their elbow but that freaked the ghoul out.

"You might want to back up their soggy pup," Maya's voice came from a tree.

"Maya!" Riley shouted. The glowing ghoul took advantage of Riley's distraction to make a run for it.

"That was Son, son of suns. The suit is too keep radiation from slinking off and he's shy. Doesn't really like people or anything that breathes," Maya jumped of the tree's limbs to land next to Riley. "Vuala," arms raised with flourish and Riley applauded.

"He's an actual star! Do you think he knows Pluto?" Riley was a step closer to kissing her favorite planet.

Maya snorted at the weird girl. "Couldn't you smell the hydrogen and exploding heat? Man, your sense of smell really sucks for a werewolf. Even humans can smell heat," Maya chuckled at Riley's pouting lips.

"My great something were werewolves not me. I have to be really close to someone to identify them properly," Riley demonstrated by getting in Maya's space and her bumped her nose to Maya's neck. The shock of Riley's brashness kept Maya still while Riley inhaled deeply. She was taken back by the powerful scent and was astonished she hadn't been able to smell Maya before.

"Wow you smell like scary good," Riley stepped back, rubbing her nose to rid of Maya's scent but it pervaded. Maya smiled at the girl who didn't understand how personal space worked.

"So like I smell scary or I smell really good?" Maya grinned, fangs peaking out. She dared to get closer and release more of her aroma.

Riley closed her eyes. Now that she had tasted Maya, she could easily pick it out as it surpassed every other smell in it's thickness. Riley could pick it out as easily as she could identify her parents, brother, Lucas and Zay.

"Both," Riley edged closer, eyes remaining closed so she could focus on her sense of smell. Her Omega verbally purred at Maya's strong pheromones and Maya smiled smugly at Riley's omega reaction to her smell.

"You smell fierce and like home, like safety," Riley struggled to explain. The Omega took control and leaned closer, until Riley's nose brushed the shell of Maya's ear. The young dragon blushed at the pleasure in the touch since dragon ears were sensitive.

"Riley!" Maya breathed out feeling something switch in her brain.

"Huh, what?" Riley recoiled, blinking out of her trance; her Omega satisfied, resided to the back of Riley's head.

"You okay their honey?" Maya said with her usual confidence but the red hadn't completely faded from her cheeks.

"Uhm, yeah, what were we doing?" Riley asked feeling drugged.

"We were going to get you a towel," Maya grabbed Riley by the hand and led her to the gym.

"Some of our classes got changed. We all have history for last," Lucas inspected their schedules. The team was in the library, where It was quiet. No matter human or monster, libraries were unappreciated and abandoned by the general populace.

"Why would they do that?" Riley highlighted her knew classes. She had been taken out from dance and debate to culinary and history.

"Someone probably took pity on the poor muggles and decided to let them have one class together," Zay fiddled with his pencil.

"That's good. We haven't been together in a class since elementary. Thing's just might be looking up for us guys," Lucas bite his lips. An avalanche of books hit them.

"Ahhh! Why do you two always make things happen! I knew books had it out for me!" Zay cried.

"What the-" but Lucas heard laughter and snickering.

"Feeling any smarter now that you're in a real school normies?" Toralei sniggered. Maya was there but she didn't look happy.

Lucas fumed, got up to chase them, but Riley grabbed his arm, he glared at them. Riley whispered into his ear, "Lucas don't hurt them. Violence will only make things worse," Riley reminded him, and didn't see Maya eye her and Lucas with confusion.

"Aren't you needed somewhere else mother Teresa? Let the little demigod come over here, I'll rip him up good," Toralei hissed. Lucas pushed Riley out of the way and stomped to Toralei. To her credit Toralei didn't flinch, smirk never faltering. Riley looked at Maya helplessly. Maya shook her head, Riley pouted, Maya gave in. She stepped between the duelist, hands pushing them back.

"Toralei we can't cause trouble in detention," Maya warned her. The cat huffed, backing down, the demigod was tense, shoulder stiff, hands clenched. "This is a battle you don't have to fight. Don't. Fight," she glared at Lucas. It didn't look like he was going to back down, they glared at each, wanting the other to cave until Maya's pained yelp broke the tension.

"Shit!" Maya pulled the arrow from her side.

"Maya!" Riley rushed to her side.

"Double shit! Cupid!" Maya yelled, a librarian shushed her.

"Did anybody get hit by a stray arrow?" Cupid fluttered in through the large open window.

"Yeah, she did," Lucas pointed at Maya, "wait," he frowned. "She was staring at me when she got hit. Cupid?"

"Ugh, don't remind me," Maya rubbed her chest, "how long are these eww's going to last?"

"Uhmmm, affect's may vary from person to person," Cupid shrugged and peered at Maya, "Dragon's are pretty resistant to this kind of magic. So maybe in two days? Please don't hurt me! Although...it seems like it's being counte-"

"Nice man!" Zay gave him a side hug, "You got yourself a bad chick."

"Don't call me a chick," Maya growled and Zay cowered behind Lucas. "I feel sick."

"Do you need to go to the nurse Maya?" Riley asked, Maya seemed to get greener the closer Riley got.

"I think Maya should just stay near the cowboy so she doesn't have any bad side effects to being separated like going crazy. I'll go tell the principle," Cupid glanced at Riley with curiosity in her eyes, she ran when she saw the snarl forming in Maya's mouth.

"I need to stay with Mr. chivalry! This just keeps getting worse," Maya whined.

"Don't worry Maya. Lucas is really great, I'm sure you'll have a good time with him," Riley squeezed Maya's hand, Maya suppressed the urge to gag.

"Don't worry man. Some girl's just act mean when they like you," Zay assured a despairing Lucas.

"I don't even know him, and I really won't like him by the end of the day," Maya spat out venomously.

"Dammit! He's nice, has a nice dopey face, a bright smile, and good figure," Maya admitted in history class to Riley. " Ugh, kill me."

"I knew you'd like him," Riley grinned.

"It's the poison in my veins speaking." Maya frowned," he sounds familiar. Sunny personality, pretty, smart, trusting, and eyes that only see the good in people. Yeah," Maya nodded, looking at Riley, "sound's really familiar."

"Lucas is a one of a kind," Riley grinned.

"Riley!" Lucas said getting her attention. " Look what I made earlier with the paint Maya gave-"

"Forced! I was literally compelled to give it to you," Maya corrected him through gritted teeth, eyes slit and narrow.

"I didn't make a cat, but I did mix a bunch of paint-"

"Thanks for wasting my money," Maya interrupted him again.

"-on the canvas until I got a big blot of purple," Lucas showed his painting off.

"Ohhhhh purple," Riley's hand strayed away from Maya's arm to grab Lucas's painting.

"Man, you two are so similar, like almost mirror images or something," Zay commented.

"Hah, yeah, or something," Maya grumbled with a mean smile on her face.

Farkle smiled at Maya's behavior, "you okay Maya?"

Maya growled at him, Riley placed her hand back on Maya and gave her a disappointed look. Maya sighed, but answered Farkle, " A bit nauseous and irritated."

"You should go to the nurse Maya, me and Lucas will go with you, right Lucas," Riley shot him a look.

He rose his hands in defense, "whatever you say dear," Maya shifted In her seat.

"Maya?"

"I'm just dizzy honey. It'll pass," Maya put her hand over Riley's and used her thumb to rub the skin, effectively ending the conversation.

Once class was over Riley grabbed Maya's outstretched hand. She took out her pen and scribbled on Maya's hand.

"Uhm, dove? What are you doing?" Maya didn't stop her.

"Lucas will be at my house later. You come too."

"Why would Lucas be in your house?" Maya's unoccupied hand twitched.

Riley face wrinkled, "take it easy Maya. I've known him and Zay since we were toddlers. They're like my unofficial brothers and I just want you to be okay."

"No, that's not what I mea-" Maya tried to focus on her real thoughts. "Sorry. I'm just confused and irritated. Stupid Cupid."

"She look's nice. I wonder if she could help me find love."

Maya snorted, "I'm sure you'll find it easily; the world will just give it to you and what makes you think I'll go to your house."

"You'll come to my house," Riley said in a voice that had no room for contradictions.

Maya was careful in not getting paint on the hand with Riley's information. What kind of person gave a monster their address? A Riley apparently. Even though they barely knew each other she liked the girl. Riley was just so open, hopeful and happy. She looked at everything like it was good, she looked at Maya liked she was good and Maya liked it. She was starting to grow on Maya. Also Lucas was at Riley's apartment and Maya really did feel like throwing up. If she was going to throw up, she'd prefer it to be on Lucas's shirt, it was his fault she got shot anyway.

"Where are you going," said a manster with flaming blue hair.

"To go see my girl," Maya frowned at the wording, "and her...boy? Whatever."

"Why?'

"She's waiting for me. Can't make a lady wait too long or they'll get pissed. But knowing Riley she'll just be happy I showed up. See ya!"

"Hello?" Maya's voice buzzed.

"It's Maya!"Riley shot up from her place on the dining table and buzzed her in.

"It's so nice to see you making friends Riley," Topanaga told her.

"Actually It's more like acquaintance. Poisonous friend at best," Lucas grumbled.

"What your mother said Riley," Cory added, "you'll be good for her. Remember, people change people."

"Is she going to eat us?" Auggie questioned.

"No, Auggie. She's a good dragon...mostly," Riley frowned. What did Maya eat?

"Oh boy," Auggie said worried.

Riley's Omega took a tentative whiff of the air and inwardly smirked, "Maya's here!" Riley announced.

"What? No she-" Lucas shut up when he heard knocking at the door. "Did your nose get an upgrade?" He scrutinized her.

Riley ignored him, rushing to the door, and swinging it open to see a pink flesh, smiling Maya.

Maya's ocean colored scales were gone, replaced with soft skin, her teeth pearly, but the same cunning smile.

"Peaches!" Riley put her hands all over Maya's face to feel her skin. Yup, smooth and flawless.

"Please look but don't touch the artwork," Maya huffed when Riley went in for a hug. It was a good hug, a hug that demanded for retaliation. "Hi there dove," Maya said, letting go first. "Don't be alarmed. Just used some basic magic to hide my scales."

Riley pulled Maya to the kitchen. Maya looked simultaneously happy and annoyed that Lucas was here.

"You already know my dad."

"Sup Mr. Matthews."

"Maya," Cory greeted.

"This is my lovely mother," Riley motioned to her mom.

"Welcome to our home," Topanga said.

"And this is my brother," Riley at last revealed Auggie.

"You're not going to eat me are you?" Auggie asked wide eyed.

"No kid. Children upset my stomach," Maya promised.

"We're going to be in my room to watch Kim Possible," Riley tugged my up the stairs, Lucas following behind them.

"What's Kim Possible,?" Riley gasped at Maya.

"Oh my God, Maya, you poor thing. You really didn't have a good role model. We need to fix this! Fix this now!"

Maya liked the show, Riley was right it was good. She liked Shego and Drakken; his determination to become a great villain even if sucked at it, and Shego for being lazy and strong. They were as good as a team as Kim, Ron, and Wade.

"I want to be a cheerleader like Kim," Riley said lying on her bed.

"That's what you admire the most about her?" Maya snorted next to her.

"No-well yea. It's a tie between that and her drive to help people. She's making the world a better place, and has a weird friendship with all of her bad guys. She's a hero and a normal girl," Riley said dreamily. "Plus, I love the strong woman and, sweet, clumsy, adorable guy trope," Riley quipped.

"She's also a cartoon," Maya deadpanned, Riley shot her a soft glare.

"She's someone I should aspire to be."

"Let her dream Maya," Lucas said from the edge of the bed, eye's closed.

"Dream's are for suckers and kids who haven't been disappointed by life yet," Maya's eyes stayed on Riley's computer screen.

"Dream with me Maya," Riley slung her arm over Maya, "and when you wake, you'll have the strength to chase after them," Riley promised sweetly. Maya looked at Riley doubtfully, but the sincerity in Riley's face drew a tired smile from Maya.

"If you say so kid."

"Good. How about a lunch break and after I can show you American dragon Jake Long," Riley jumped off from her bed and ran out the door.

"That's it!" Lucas eyes flew open at Maya's desperation. " I feel tired and dirty. I need to get out of this-" she swung her arms, "-paradise!" She glared at Lucas, "Look. I'm going to be a really angry dragon if I still feel like liking you tomorrow. How about we get this over with. Let's kiss to get it out of my system and we'll never interact again."

"I don't think true loves kiss work that's way. You really don't like me," Lucas was surprised at her wrath.

"Meh, don't take it personally, I don't like people easily. I usually interact with people by teasing or fighting. So?"

"Fine. I don't want you here and bothering Riley with all your moodiness."

Maya growled," you're lucky I can't torch that pretty face right now besides," Maya smirked, "Riley likes my company."

Lucas gritted his teeth, but relaxed a second later, "you want to come kissy kissy on my face or not?" Lucas asked sitting up, hands on his knees.

"Tell anyone and you're a dead demi-bacon. Got it?" Maya threatened.

"Are you being all Shego with me?" He smirked.

"At least Dr. Drakken is amusing stupid. You're just annoying," Maya barked. She was right in front of him, hand on his cheek, and lips breath away when the door swung open.

"Riley!" Maya brightened, forgetting her strength and pushing Lucas off the bed. He hit the floor with a thump.

"Peaches! I brought noodle cup and is Lucas on my floor?" Riley glanced at him confused.

"My favorite dollar snack! Thanks honey," Maya reached for the food eagerly. "Oh, I feel like a guilty cheating spouse," Maya frowned, "Lucas leave."

"You first," he snide.

"Nobody is going to leave...when are you guys leaving? It's almost 7," Riley remarked. "Ohhhh are you guys sleeping over!"

"Not if Maya's staying. I can call Zay, tell him to bring marshmallows and see if he can show up," Lucas went to Riley's closet and pulled out a duffel bag with his clothes inside.

Something familiar stirred inside Maya that made her frustrated. She wasn't sure if it was because she found out Lucas regularly slept over Riley's place or because Lucas regularly slept over Riley's place; the choices had the same tone of envy and longing, but she wasn't sure to who. She wanted to separate them, she knew that. Put a large indent on friends with bold capital letters. Riley said they were like siblings, but feeling change and evolve with time. The dragon shook her head trying to clear it, if she knew one thing for certain is whatever romantic feelings she had for Lucas as the moment they were just that. It was a momentary thing, and not real.

"Stop it Lucas! Maya do you want to stay?" Riley shushed him.

Maya shrugged, sitting on the bay window, legs crossed over the other and eating her noodles, "I have nothing back home."

Riley sensed the brutal honesty and Lucas looked at her with pity. Riley sat next to Maya and pulled her in for a hug, "then feel free to stay here for as long as you want. Mi cara es tu cara."

Maya was confused for a moment. Did Riley just tell her; her face was Maya's? Right spanglish.

"Thanks Riles, nobody has ever given me shared custody of their face before," Maya giggled.

"What? Maya what did I say!"

"Figure it out," Maya smiled evilly.

Lucas observed them. Maya was strangely nice to Riley, and the teasing was friendly, better than her behavior with him. He texted Zay to show up. Twenty minutes later the gang was there in pajamas.

"Wow, I don't think I've ever been to a boy/girl sleepover with anybody than these two," Zay hugged Lucas and Riley.

"Keep your hands to your side," Smackle warned Lucas who looked at his friends helplessly.

"Right..." Lucas sighed.

"Who invited all of you!" Maya spat. "Three's a crowd and this is looking like an or-" Lucas clamped his hand over Maya's mouth. Maya dissolved her human appearance and bite Lucas, sharp teeth and all.

Lucas yelped pulling away, " You bite me!"

"I scratch too," Maya looked at Riley, but she was checking Lucas's wounds. She held his hands gingerly, eyes full of pain as if she herself had gotten hurt. The lack of attention made Maya mope inside and the worry Riley displayed for Lucas, made her despair. She regretted her actions.

"Riley you just missed Maya's innuendo," Farkle said, and Maya whipped her head at him in horror. She mouthed shut up.

"What Farkle?" Riley searched her room for a day-kit.

"Nothing!" Zay yelled and whispered to the group on the floor, "listen, don't make the Riley protections committees job harder than it needs to be."

"Riley has a protection committee?" Smackle whispered back.

"That would be me and Zay," Lucas glared at Maya, his hand felt like it was on fire, "and they're on their last drop of patience with Maya Hart."

"Maya what is up with you and hurting Lucas' hands?" Riley asked.

Maya shrugged not looking guilty or bad about her actions, "He's handsy. I'm impulsive and don't like being restrained or told what to do."

"Please behave. Lucas you're bleeding. I have bandages, let's go wash that."

Topanga and Cory jogged to the door, looking around the room surprised. "Riley...we heard voices. Know I see who they belong to," Topanga said.

"Kids! What are you doing in my home?" Cory asked.

"I tried to get rid of them," Maya regretfully shook her head.

"Is Lucas bleeding?" Lucas got up with Riley and went to the door.

"Im alright Ms. Matthews. An animal bite me when I was next to the open window," Lucas lied and Maya was pretty surprised.

"That's a first," Topanga said.

"We were just going to the bathroom," Riley explained.

"Good idea," the three of them accompanied Lucas to the bathroom.

The increasing distance to Lucas didn't hurt Maya much, and she sighed in relief that Cupid's drug arrow was wearing off. The drug should be burned from her system by tomorrow morning and if wasn't someone, namely Cupid and Lucas, was going to die. She was mostly sure that the demigods weren't immortal. No...Riley would be upset if she killed Lucas, fine she'll just gravely injure him.

Riley came back and was happy to see everyone alive. She was especially pleased to see Maya and Farkle easily conversing because of the long age war between avariel elves and dragons, she thought Maya and him would try to kill each other. Maya motioned for Riley to sit next to her on the floor, and she happily sat down. She and Zay shared their history with the group, Farkle and Smackle told them how they went from nemesis to a romantic upgrade, and Riley vividly recounted her adventures in wonderland, and ever after high.

"You need to take me there one day Maya," Riley begged, completely smitten with the idea of a place for fairytales.

"Nope. Never again will I go there. It was all horribly pretty," Maya denied. Riley put her hands over Maya's and Maya's heart did a somersault.

"Please Maya?" Riley looked at her lips puckered.

"O-Okay," Maya stuttered and almost squealed.

"Ohhhhh," Smackle and Zay said simultaneously, but the girls holding hands didn't pay any attention to them.

"They're stuck in their own little world..." Farkle laughed, wrapping his arm around Smackle's waist.

"You should have invited your girlfriend Operetta, Zay," Smackle snuggled closer to Farkle, but Zay looked at her with large eyes.

"What!"

"Isn't she your girlfriend? That's what the talk is in school," Farkle confessed.

"We've only been in school for three days!"

Riley kept a loving gaze on Maya and Maya smiled sheepishly. If it weren't for the nagging pain in her vein's she could almost really enjoy Riley's radiance. The moment was ruined once Lucas returned. The pain demanded that she shift her eyes from Riley to Lucas. Riley looked over to where Maya was staring and she saw Lucas was back with a bandaged hand.

"Lucas!" Riley shouted joyfully, getting up and Maya mentally sighed thinking she was going to get abandoned except that Riley dragged Maya up too, and to where Lucas was.

"Better?" She asked.

"Better," he confirmed.

Riley looked to Maya, and stepped back so she wasn't in between Maya and him. She looked at Maya meaningfully.

"What?" Maya flinched at Riley's expectant look.

"Apologize," Riley looked directly into the churning red in Maya's eyes. Maya squared her shoulders rebelliously, the Omega gave her puppy eyes, Maya slumped her shoulders in defeat.

"I'm sorry that you don't know better than to poke a dragon," Maya kept the sarcasm to a low. Riley and Lucas nodded knowing that was as good as Maya was going to give.

"We should go to sleep before Maya injures anyone, and by anyone I mean probably me," Lucas hid behind Riley, using her as a shield, and walked to his sleeping spot on the floor. Zay went inside Riley's closet.

"Wha-" Smackle was confused.

"He's changing," Lucas cleared up her confusion.

"How deep is your closet Riley? Do you have a secret room in there?" Maya joked.

"Nooo. It's a bridge to Narnia though," Riley poked back.

Maya gave her a helpless smile that worried Lucas. Lucas wrapped his arm around her shoulder, and the action made the smile drop from Maya's face. "Who's sleeping in your bed?"

"Don't know. Smackle, Maya?" Riley wondered, and Lucas shot Smackle a pleading look. She interpreted it wrong, clinging to Farkle's arm.

"Okay, that answers that. Maya come here!"Riley ordered playfully. Maya didn't miss the hostile glance Lucas gave her and the dragon almost snarled. The dragon jumped into Riley's bed.

"Why do you even want to go to bed so early Lucas," Maya asked and Zay came out of the closet in pajamas. "Do you even sleep Zay?"

"It's actually for me Maya. It's a school night and I can't be up later than ten. Yes, Zay sleeps, he's unique that way," Riley answered, putting her hand on Maya's face to push her down, and draped the blanket over them. "Now go to sleep. Night everyone," Riley shouted, receiving similar responses of good night. Maya couldn't very well sleep with Riley right next to her, and Lucas next to her on the floor. She felt really uncomfortable, like she was being pulled to opposite directions.

Zay woke up the latest the next day, and they all dashed to Riley's human school. The ghouls were all mortal looking, and Lucas worried that they were going to do something to give their actual being away. Like Smackle making everyone falls asleep, Farkle blowing something up, Maya murdering someone, but they were all well behaved. Maya hardly payed him any attention, and stayed by Riley's side. Breakfast was fun as they listened to Zay crying that they hadn't woken him up.

"How do we get to school?" Farkle watched the humans walk around the halls.

"So far we just walk around aimlessly until something happens," Maya gave her a confused look, " I swear that how it works Maya."

"I worry for you Riley," Maya shook her head. The board pinned with inspirational quotes opened up and a great vacuum sucked them in, everyone screaming.

"I told you!" Riley yelled. The ride ended with them falling through a hole high on the wall. Maya grew wings and grabbed Riley, everyone else fell painfully to the floor. The schools bell went back to its original place covering the hole.

"I'll never doubt you again," Maya put Riley down. Her clothes were torn from the back and Riley took of her sweater to give it to Maya.

"Here in case you have a wardrobe malfunction."

"Thanks honey," Maya wing's tucked themselves enough for her to pout Riley's big sweater on.

"Yeah thanks," Smackle said sarcastically, dusting herself off.

"No problem," Maya smirked helpfully. "Thanks for everything Riley-"

"Hey, forgetting someone," Lucas helped Farkle up.

"No. I'll be wringing Cupid's neck if you need me," Maya told Riley and marched off to kill Cupid.

"Maybe you should go with her. You seem to pull out the best in each other," Farkle worried for Cupid impending doom.

"You might be right Farkle I sh-" the school bell rang and Riley shook her head, "- should head to class. Come on Farkle!"

Cupid lurked in the shadows, but Maya and her posse were hunting for her almost the entire day. They did have gym together and Maya used that time to throw her fire balls.

"Maya you shouldn't have hurt her," Riley gave her a disappointed shake of her head. They were in culinary class with Zay, and Farkle. Riley eagerly waited for her loaf of bread to be done.

"I didn't hurt her Riley," Maya denied and Riley rolled her eyes at her.

"Maya you sent her to the infirmary."

"I didn't hurt her badly, Riley. She's a demigod, and will be good as new in like an hour with demigod juice."

"Does that stuff seriously work?" Riley asked.

"It does," Farkle told her, "it tastes like swamp gunk for monsters but I've read it tastes yummy to demigods," Farkle chopped his salad.

"Wonder what it would taste like for Lucas," Zay stirred his eggs in the bowl.

"Probably like the tears of all his poor future girlfriends," Maya said, Farkle nodded.

"Why are girls so weak to pretty faces?" Farkle huffed. Riley smiled and the three of them awed. "Never mind, I'm weak to it too," Farkle admitted.

Riley's oven dinged. "Yay!" She put on the oven mitts, took it out and placed it in a plate. It didn't come out like the picture in book. Zay and Maya stared.

"What?" Farkle and Riley asked.

"It was my first time! Its not going to come out perfect," Riley pouted, Zay frowned.

"...that looks like lady parrrr..." Zay voice trailed off when Maya went and ate it. The dragon didn't mind that it was hot, and chewed happily.

"Yum. Don't pay any mind how it looks Zay, it tasted good," she winked at him. "Good job Riley."

Zay stared at her horrified, then went to shield Riley and Farkle, who looked on confused at Zay, "You are disgusting and should stay away from these innocent minded younglings," Zay told her.

"Hey! I'm not a youngling! I'm almost 15," Riley argued.

"Yeah you terrible rate vampire, she's not a youngling," Maya laughed. "Relax you and Lucas act like I'm going to corrupt her."

"I know something interesting is happening here, but I can figure it out," Farkle sighed.

"Don't worry about it, pointy ears," Maya smirked.

"I'm glad you liked it peaches. Why do you call me dove, Maya?' Riley asked.

Maya answered with ease, "well symbolically is because your as innocent as one, but in truth its because you smell like the soap," Maya explaned.

Riley's face scrunched up confusedly, " I do?"

"Werewolves normally smell like forest, doggy treats, dominance and dirt. You smell clean, soft, and fresh."

Riley snorts, "how do I smell soft? That's a bad description Maya."

"No. Werewolves are predators. Even the omegas have claws, and pointy teeth that can easily tear through delicate skin," Riley gulped as the tearing part. She was more human than werewolf so it made sense she didn't smell like them. She wrinkled her nose.

"I wouldn't like to smell scary or like dirt anyways."

"Me neither. You smell perfect to me," Maya smiled. Riley blushed and smiled shyly back. Zay watched them in alarm.

"Okay! That's enough cutesy time!" He lifted Riley who was sitting on her chair and put her farther from Maya. "You," Zay pointed at Maya, "are officially forbidden from being too close with my daughter."

---

(Four years later)

"Maya go on a date with me!" Riley asked abruptly and her head whipped to Riley who had barged into her room. Maya was on Riley's bed eating cold spaghetti and typing an essay for dragonology, she almost choked on the spaghetti. Farkle was there too, pretending to sleep on Riley's bed.

"Wha-what?" Maya asked very much believing she misheard.

"I have a date with Charlie and I need you to come with," Riley added the important details.

Maya was taken aback and so was Farkle. "Excuse us for being flabbergasted but, Whose Charlie?" Farkle asked, fearing for Charlie's life.

"Yeah! Who the fuck is Charlie?!" Maya growled once she regained her bearings. Her eyes morphed into slits and the fork bended in her hand.

"He's from my old middle school. We bumped into each other after he left poetry club," Riley sighed. "He's really cute, sweet, attentive, and wears hot jackets."

"You know who else is cute, sweet (with you), attentive, and wears hot jackets?" Farkle gestured to Maya with his head.

"Exactly Maya," Riley agreed, " that's why I need Maya to be there. She's always looking out for me, and will keep me grounded. Plus, my dad said I had to take someone to chaperone, Zay and Lucas are out," they would probably glare all night. Now that Riley thought about it she should have probably just asked Smackle for a double date because Maya looked really scary right now.

"What's he like?" Maya became more agitated.

"...attractive."

"Ahhhhh, Riley do you want to spend your heat with someone else for a change? Looks like they're putting you out of the job," Farkle chuckled at Maya, she pushed him off the bed.

"I'm a great cuddler," Maya snapped.

"I wouldn't know. Riley?" Farkle asked.

"Maya is a great cuddler, this is true," Riley confirmed.

"But not enough apparently," Farkle teased. " Puberty is starting to get serious huh?"

"Charlie is really, really cute?" Riley sighed.

Maya almost let a growl rip through her chest, and Farkle rolled his eyes at her.

"You have nobody to blame for yourself. Four years, many heats, plenty of opportunities yet you managed not to take a chance. Don't start becoming possessive now that you're jealous," Farkle told Maya in the dragon language so Riley wouldn't understand. She was not happy about this for many reasons: first she didn't know this guy, two he was a weak human and Riley always had her window open so any Alpha could come in, lastly, she was feeling threatened. Who was this nobody trying to invade her second home, and usurp her place in Riley's life.

"Whatever Minkus!" Maya snapped.

"I'm sorry Maya for pushing. If you don't want to go-"

"No! I'll go!" Maya almost shouted. "I'll be nice."

"Thanks Maya, you're the best!"

Farkle almost snorted, "she's the best in sabotaging."

Friday night came too quickly for Maya's taste. Riley showed her a picture of the guy and yes he was attractive; brown prince hair, fair skin, beautiful smile, but just because he looked perfected didn't mean he was that way in the inside. Maya's been a cranky dragon the whole day, Lucas taking the blunt of it.

"Maybe, you should find a better, safer way to convert your frustration, and feelings," Lucas rubbed his sore bicep, a hotspot for Maya's punches.

"I hate him," Maya growled, her leg twitching. They were waiting for the rest of the group to join them in lunch.

"You don't even know him! Maya don't be a jelly bean," Lucas flinched when she stabbed her tiny burger.

"Doesn't matter, I know he's not good enough for her," Maya brutally murdered her burger, stabbing it relentlessly. Lucas squirmed away.

"He's a nice guy and it's only one date. It's not like she's going to fall in love and marry him," Lucas laughed, but Maya didn't find it as funny.

"Guys are crazy! They're nice, and charming until they get what they want. Next thing you know you either have a crazy boyfriend or a missing dad. Nope, never, I'll never let this happen, Riley deserves better," Maya let go of her knife to cross her arms. "I need to have known this-" Maya fumed, "chocolate boy for years before I'll let that kid put his arms over her. They'll name him arm-less Charles."

"What if Riley wants his arms over her," Lucas asked worried.

"Riley trusts me," Lucas couldn't disagree.

"You're just worried?" Lucas asked doubtfully. "Your feeling are pure in wanting to protect Riley," Lucas leaned closer, " there's no hidden intentions in you," a knowing smile crept into Lucas face slowly, and Maya glared at his accusations.

"Guys!" Riley yelled, coming closer with the rest of the gang. Lucas and Maya made space for Riley to be in the middle. "Lucas are you okay?" Riley sat down, "your arms look kind of funny."

"Same old, same old," Lucas ate Zay's cookie.

"Where Zay?" Maya asked.

"With his girl," Riley grinned, happy for her brother.

"Where's your girl taking you Maya?" Smackle took out her lunch box. Smackle was a smart cookie.

"Where are you taking me Riley?" Maya looked at her.

"We're going on a picnic at the park near my house," Riley grabbed her hands, trying to transfer her excitement. Maya had a fake smile on her face.

"Greaaaat! I'm sure we'll have the time of my life," Maya said sarcastically.

"That's the spirit!" Riley cheered even if she did have a creeping feeling this was going to end badly.

It was five and Riley was waiting for Maya. Charlie was already in her living room waiting for her. Riley finished brushing her hair for the tenth time and checked her phone. She was about to call Maya to see if she was okay when Maya climbed through her window.

"Honey, I'm home!" Maya hollered.

"Peaches, you look beautiful," Maya posed for her. "You're also twenty minutes late," Riley said in a less friendly tone.

Maya shrugged, "sorry doll. I needed to help my mom with stuff because I'm a good daughter."

Riley crossed her arms, not believing her, " right, stuff."

"Stuff. Big, important stuff!"

"Well now that you have that stuff out of the way, we should get going," Riley held the door open for Maya. She grabbed Maya when she was about to go through it, "Thanks for coming peaches. You always make things better."

"I wouldn't miss a chance for you to turn gold."

Charlie sat between Zay and Lucas, on the stuff. He fiddled with hands on his laps, feeling the blank stares of Riley's honorary brothers. Auggie and Corey ate crackers on the kitchen table.

"Tell me prophet Auggie, how will all this go?" Corey asked him.

"In flames. I hope Charlie has a good health insurance," Auggie scooped some jelly and covered his cracker in it.

"We're ready," Riley and Maya appeared.

Charlie stood up gratefully going to Riley. Self preservation was strong within Charlie because a chill went down his spine, the hairs of his arms stood up, and he cringed when he saw the blonde. She was stunning, had a badass chick look going on, and looked like she was about to flay him. He almost forgot all about her when Riley smiled at him. She was so cute, with a innocent benevolent face, and warm melting eyes.

"Hi!" Charlie said clumsily.

"Hi!" Riley repeated.

"I-hi," Charlie almost face palmed.

"Hi," Riley was just as nervous.

"Eww," Maya gagged. "We haven't met, I'm Maya," Maya grinned. Charlie for a second thought he saw fangs.

"Charlie," he prided himself in not messing up there. He offered his hand and almost groaned when Maya squeezed. Seriously the girl was short, but apparently she was strong. Riley nudged Maya, and she let go of his thumping hand.

"Right lets us get this show on the road," Maya said energetically.

Riley grabbed a basket, full of hers and Maya's favorite snacks. Charlie brought a lunch bag too, he cooked everything. Charlie couldn't help but feel like he was a deer and Maya was the lioness about to eat him.

" Bye daddy! Bye boys!" Riley waved.

"Bye girls! Try not to make things go horribly wrong," Corey advised, waving apprehensively. This was not going to end well.

Charlie nervously sat on the blanket set on the floor. He didn't know why he was super alert, but it felt like he was a cornered animal. Riley and Maya sat next to each other, facing Charlie, the lunches in the middle. Maya eyed him critically, Riley pretended there wasn't a tense atmosphere.

"What book are you reading now Charlie?" Riley spoke first.

"I just finished the queen's thief series. It's really good."

"Maybe you can lend it to me sometime," Riley liked that he loved reading. Maya rolled her eyes, he caught that and tensed. "You okay Charlie?"

"Yeah-" Charlie rubbed his sweaty palms, "sorry I don't know why I'm so strung up. I'm not used to having company in my dates. I'll just ignore-"
"Yeah you do that," Maya said briskly.

"Well you'll have to get used to it. I'm planning to have Maya in my life until...bleh. Maya isn't this tense though," Riley brushed Maya's locks from obscuring her face. "You okay their peaches?"

In truth Maya felt like going full dragon and going on a rampage. She wanted to grab this boy, reach to where planes fly and throw him at one. She wanted for it to be her and Riley only, enjoying these cliché sandwiches. Maya wanted to go home with her, snuggle, and watch vines. That wasn't to much to ask for her.

"Peaches?" Instead of answering Maya looked Charlie dead in the eye.

"You heard the princess. I'm going to be there always. We're going to go to college together, then rent an apartment, and I'll stay mostly at home working. Riley will be probably a spokeswoman, making the world a better place, and we'll own a dog- no two. We'll be hosting holiday parties and the whole world will show up, that won't change," Maya leaned in. "Sure you want to come be a part of that. You're fine with having a small role in Riley's life?"

That was the last time Riley asked Maya on a date. Riley had hoped that Maya was just going to be a little bit protective, mostly watchful, not really interfering with the date, but no, Maya had to make Charlie shrink. Corey Matthews high fived Maya when they came back. Riley was only upset with Maya for an hour, then upset for the rest of the night for thinking Charlie wasn't into her enough, Maya comforted her.

Maya was pretty satisfied with herself until two months later, Riley found another guy! Where do these horn dog strangers keep popping up when they're literally together 24/7? Are they like magnets to Riley's innocence or something? Are they like piranhas smelling blood? What's worse is Riley won't take her this time to scare off the new guy. Who cares that he's tall, smart, and cute! No way was she going to let this bag of meat take her girl! Invade her territory like he owns it! What's worse was that Cupid would not stop bothering her!

Cupid was fixing her nails, talking but Maya couldn't help but feel like she was being mocked.

"Why is it that all your time, energy, and affection is spent on Riley?" Cupid asked coyly. Maya rolled her eyes, even the school's gang of cats, her old friends, were more kind when they teased her about Riley.

"What do you mean she's my best friend. The best thing that ever happened to me," Maya threw a fast ball to the batter.

"It's just funny how all your focus and love are directed only to Riley. How's that mounting sexual frustration going? Your baby hands can't be enough," Maya almost got bonked with the ball when they threw it at her. Maya blushed, gaped, she tried to say anything but she was speechless. "Thought so," Cupid nodded.

"Wha- I don't have sexual frustration!" She shouted.

"That's some denial," everyone in the field shook their heads.

"Shut up! Nobodies talking to you guys!" Maya yelled, blushing harder.

"You're beautiful and when you walk down the halls, boy's heads swivel to you," Cupid had observed the obvious.

Maya cringed, "ew. Really? I've never noticed before," Maya shrugged. She threw the ball hard, the batter missed. Cupid ducked, but Maya caught the ball thrown at her.

"Exactly my point!" Cupid exclaimed. "Because you're always watching Riley. Being sexually fixated on one person must be hard. Poor dragon. Maya I'm trying to help. You have to act before it's too late."

"I think you're looking at our platonic love a little to hard." Maya shook her head, "Also, I'll have you know I liked Lucas and her uncle Josh," She growled, crossing her arms defensively.

"Yeah," Cupid tried not to sound sarcastic, "your only sexual interest have been two guys... one that resembles Riley and the other you were enchanted to like. Don't you think Lucas shares some of Riley's personality perks. They're both nice boys," Cupid sipped her sprite. " Not to mention that they were small and short crushes, compared to your eternal love for Riley. You want my advise? Kiss her, after the initial shock, she'll say thank you."

Maya growled, trying to cover her feelings of confusion, fear, and dread. " Calm down, your meddling will turn my life into a Greek tragedy. What I have is sufficient."

"But Maya don't you want more?" Maya didn't need to answer because everyone eaves dropping knew the truth.

"I just want to be with her. Always," Maya said simply.

---

Maya had to try again, "I can't believe you're not letting me go with you. What if the guy tries to pull something!" Maya said incredulously. She was wrapped like a burrito on Riley's bed.

"Maya, you know I don't feel like the universe is right unless you're with me, but you might scare him off. You're going to have to trust me."

"I do trust you, but Riley...you have the tendency to only see the good in people," Maya eyed herself. Riley went to give the burrito a hug.

"I trust you with my life Maya and that hasn't turned out bad," Riley kissed the top of Maya's head. Maya screamed in her head, that it was a friendly kiss. "You're one of the best people I know, you're a good person. I'll introduce you two next time," that soured Maya.

"Stay here with me, little plant," Maya pouted.

"Nope. Got to go into the sun."

"Its dark out," Maya countered.

"Love you. I'll be back in two hours," Riley promised getting up from the bed.

"Riley," Maya whined, but she was going out the door, and waved one last time.

Maya sulks in Riley's room for about five minutes. She unwraps herself from the blanket even if it did smell nice like Riley, she wanted the real source. The dragon couldn't just lounge in her favorite place, when her favorite person wasn't here. The dragon went out the bay window and picked on Riley's scent. She wasn't stalking, she was looking out for a friend. Innocent Riley who would get kidnapped by a white van, and got nabbed by a janitor once. She couldn't trust Riley's safety with anyone or the lengths they would go to protect her.

The small dragon lurked in the shadows, and followed the princess holding hands with prince charming the second. It hadn't been hard for Maya to find Riley, the older Riley got, the more mature and sweet her scent became. It literally smelled like everything good in the world like how? It had become really noticeable this week too, and Maya liked nudging her face to Riley's shiny hair. About an hour into the date and Maya noticed some weird behavior coming from Riley that made her want to growl, and spew fire.

Riley was normally a touchy person, with everyone, even Smackle got some love. So it shouldn't anger Maya so much that Riley was being all handsy with this boy. Riley held the boy's hand, leaned into him, rested her hand on his shoulder, and was constantly giggling even when they were in the dinner. The guy probably wasn't even funny, Riley would still smile. It irked Maya more than she could admit.

They talked on the table outside the dinner, Maya was grateful because she couldn't follow inside without Riley catching her scent.

"So want to be my date for the upcoming Halloween?" Maya couldn't remember his name.

"I cant! I already promised I'd go trick or treating with my little brother. I'm dressing up with my best friend as Katchoo and Francine," Riley chewed on her fries. Maya almost gagged when she saw her eating it with mustard.

"What's that?" He asked.

"They're from comics."

"Maybe I can come with," the boy smiled, leaning closer. No, Maya thought.

Riley smiled shyly, "maybe. I'll talk to my best friend." Maya says no.

The date took forever! Then something happened. On the way back Riley grunted, crouching, her face pained and sweating.

"Are you okay?" The boy asked. Riley shook her head, became awfully still, then launched herself at him. Maya's heart was at her throat, Riley pressed herself to the guy, her face nuzzling his neck. Maya was about to leave when she heard a whistle.

A man walked out from an alley. "What do we got here? An omega going into heat, and a human boy." Maya tensed and sniffed, an alpha wolf. Riley whimpered and held the boy closer. To his credit, he wrapped his arm protectively around her, glaring at the alpha.

"We don't want any trouble, but I'm going to give you some if you keep scaring her," the boy stood tall and Maya was almost impressed. Almost, because he was about to become doggy food.

"I love trouble," the alpha grinned cockily. He moved closer, releasing his pheromones, and Riley's knees shook. She let go of the boy to weakly growl at the stranger. The alpha laughed, "ahhh, that's cute. Come here sweet things!" He poured more of his will into it, trying to make Riley submit. She winced but stood her ground. The alpha growled, and his body started shaking. Fur grew out, muscle expanded, his change morphed, clothes tore, and soon there was a full werewolf. The boy screamed, and that's when Maya to show up. Maybe Riley won't be so angry if she saved her life.

The dragon came out. The werewolf got defensive, the boy screamed harder, and the princess eyes widened. "Maya!" Riley screamed. Now the boy fainted. Maya couldn't blame him, being stuck between a dragon and werewolf could be overwhelming. The dragon went next to Riley, softly breathing fire. The werewolf growled, and backed away until it escaped in the alley.

"Michael!" Riley went down to check the boy. "Maya what the heck! You were following me this whole time!"

"You're welcome."

Riley dragged him to the nearest bus station. Hopefully someone would find him quickly. Maya made sure to trail Riley from a distance, and to keep out of sight from human eyes. Riley stomped into her home, Maya entered the traditional way, through the bay window.

"Hey honey how wa..." Corey shut up when he saw his glowering daughter.

"I'm going to my room now to chew Maya out. Don't interrupt even if you hear the dying screams of a dragon," Riley warned him. Corey looked scared, but nodded. He gave a short prayer for Maya's life when the seething Riley stomped upstairs.

Maya had changed into the pajamas she kept in a drawer. Her clothes got burned when she transformed, she wondered how Jake Long kept his clothes. She pulled her hair up into a messy bun, shut the bay window, and pulled the curtains. Who knew if the creep alpha would track Riley. Maya would tear him up, that's what. Maya gulped when she heard Riley approaching. First, she had to fight for her life.

"I can't believe you followed me!" Riley stormed in, the door slamming behind her.

"I was worried," Maya frowned.

"Maya, what happened to trusting me!"

"I...Riley... the world is a terrible place. I could never forgive myself if something bad happened to you and I could have prevented it. Something terrible almost happened tonight!" Maya hissed. Riley looked at her window and was relieved to see it closed, the curtains covering it. Her Omega has been feeling jumpy, and full of energy this week.

Riley backed up, " thank you Maya, but I can take care of myself. Michael was with me."

Maya couldn't stop herself from pursing her lips, rolling her eyes, and getting up.

"Yeah, these boys' you keep picking up sure are top notch," Maya said sarcastically, her facial features becoming a bit more reptilian. "See Riley! You almost got hurt becomes you wanted some boy's attention!"

"No you don't understand!" Riley stressed, teeth gritted, her face flush.

"What don't I understand!" Maya yelled, sounding equally as frustrated.

Riley stammered out a string of jumbled words that didn't make sense, but were full of pent up emotions.

"Listen Maya, for a long... I- I don't want us to be separate, adversary singers!"

"...What?" Maya was bewildered.

"I don't want us to be together in the back up chorus. I want us to be front stage, in the spot light, singing together!" Maya blinked at her, increasingly confused.

"I repeat what?"

"If we were in a show... I don't want to be... there's this thing called subtext which is fine, but I'd like us to be the-"

"Hold up," Maya interrupted her, " you're talking to me about subtext when you're extremely blind to it," Maya said ticked off.

"Maya stop making this difficult and let me talk!" The Omega growled.

"I-I'm being difficult!" Maya put her hand over her chest. "Me! I who gives you whatever you want and would follow you to Hell. Would any guy do that for you? I don't think so. But, yes I'm being difficult," she said dramatically.

Riley screamed and her hands gripped Maya by the shoulders. Maya wasn't going to lie, she was very terrified of Riley in that moment, but who wouldn't when the light in your life had a mad glint in their chocolate eyes. Maya might have let a tiny squeal out. Riley had never acted this violently before so Maya was unsure of what she was going to do. Riley's never even pushed her before. She did not expect for Riley to softly kiss her.

All of Riley's mounting energy dissipated and her hands glided from balling Maya's shirt to cradling her face. Her Omega sighed contently, finally giving her a peace of mind. Maya didn't kiss back, frozen in shock. Once Riley was satisfied, getting the contact she craved from the chaste kiss, she pulled away. She abashedly stared at a shocked Maya.

"Sorry. I shouldn't have done that without your permission. My heat is coming up, stronger than all the others, and I just really needed to do kiss you for my sanity."

Maya blinked back into reality, "it's fine. Feel free to do that anytime. My lips are for your dispense," Maya whispered. A notable change occurred, Maya's pupil turned to slits, the fire In her veins burned hotter, her skin lost more of its human flesh, teeth turned into weapons, and her unconscious triggered.

Riley's Omega couldn't even react defensively when Maya pushed Riley to the wall, her plump lips pressed hard to Riley's.

"Did you say heat," Maya growled, " no wonder you smell more alluring. I thought It was my mind playing tricks," she nipped at Riley's bottom lip, making Riley yelp deliciously.

Riley was panting, face flushed, and knees shaking. Maya took that as an opportunity to let her tongue invade, and her instincts take control. The kiss was eager, years of suppressed feeling, and rough, with lots of biting in Maya's part. Maya's kisses added to the inferno that were Riley's insides. Maya was the bomb that killed of Riley and let her Omega loose. The Omega moaned, her hands going to the dragon's hips, pulling her closer. The dragon growled, biting the Omegas bottom lip harder, but not enough to break skin; she was aware enough to know it's mate wasn't another dragon, that I t was vulnerable, care, and most importantly Riley was delicate. The dragon wouldn't harm what belonged to it, especially its most prized possession.

The Omega keened at the gluttonous growl the dragon made, the noise turning her on more. The Omega was drowning in the dragons smell of strength, and dominance and she absolutely loved it. The Omega let out a whimper and the noise made Maya equally hot and cold.

"Riley," Maya moaned, hoping she hadn't been rough or taken what Riley didn't want to give.

"Maya, come back here," Riley requested, dipping down to kiss Maya again. Maya let Riley take control of the kiss. " Maya I need you," Riley said breathlessly, nose scrapping the end of Maya's ear, to her neck where her scent was collecting. Maya really wished her pleasure spot wasn't here ears because she couldn't prevent her hips from pivoting to Riley's or the moan from escaping her lips. Riley whimpered at the friction, and her head dropped to rest on Maya's shoulder. Maya shuddered trying to ground herself.

Her instincts very loudly urged her to mate with Riley now that was in a better age and state for child bearing, but the literal angel on her shoulder reminded her that this was Riley. Riley who trusts and loves her, her home and better half. Riley needed her and hopefully one day Maya could really fulfill and care for Riley's needs in more desirable ways that would make her heat more enjoyable. Her inner dragon breathed out fire and venom, hissing and protesting violently. Maya internally told it that Topanga was a lawyer, and taking Riley right now would be like a frat boy drugging a girl in a party. The dragon flinched and sulked, but didn't cause any more ruckus.

"Come on sweetie," Maya couldn't get her voice to normal. "Let's get you to bed yeah?" Maya brushed Riley's hair. Riley nodded, letting Maya guide her to her bed, switch her clothes for loose pajamas (anything tighter bothered her sensitive skin), and drapes the sheets over them. As soon as they were in a comfortable position, Riley went back to Maya's neck. Maya tried to dampen her dominant smell, but dragons weren't as good in controlling their pheromones like werewolves. She couldn't just release relaxing pheromones, dragons always smelled like powerful magic and danger so she couldn't really do anything but whine when Riley sucked on her earlobe.

I am not a horny dragon! Maya thought but couldn't really believe, I will not rip my clothes off and turn into an animal just because my crush is playing with my ear, and her hands are under my shirt, and everything feels really good. Maya swallowed, cementing her will power.

"Riley, honey, why don't you rest. Your parent are home," Maya squeaked.

Riley's hand faltered in its exploration of Maya's abs, and she let go of Maya's ear with a loud pop that made all the blood gather to Maya's face and her lunged compressed.

Riley pushed to her elbows, looking at Maya seriously, "do you like me Maya?"

Maya almost rolled her eyes because honestly! "More than that I love you, and I'll promise I'll protect you from anything even if you're giving me hell right now."

Riley smiled, relieved, "I love you too. Will you stay with me?"

Maya wondered if she was going to die tonight, "If that's what you want..."

"Don't leave me please. Stay by my side, I need you."

"I'm here, go to sleep and dream," Riley did as Maya commanded.

The week was hell on earth for Maya. Riley would not stop touching her in ways that made Maya blush and their friends avert their eyes. Maya skipped school to stay with Riley because if not Riley would whine and threaten to go to school where the other wolves were. Maya wasn't going to let that happen even if Riley did test her with being on top of her, rubbing their faces, and grinding on Maya when she was sleeping. Honestly Maya deserved a medal. Her heat lasted about 7 days' and she was a literal horn dog, pushing Maya to her limits.

Riley finally woke up on the last day of her heat, like her legs weren't about to collapse, or in a feverish haze. She blinked the sleep of her eyes, to find Maya staring at her with love and relief. "You aren't going to jump right, sweet heart?"

"No, Maya. I'm sensible again," Riley laughed.

"Thank God. I was hanging by thread," Maya admitted, hitting the pillow with a thud.

"Sorry for all the trouble, and thank you for staying," Riley said sitting up on the bed. "Now that I'm in control of my hormones, would you go on a date with me?"

"I'd love to," Maya grinned.
