Girl Meets World: They're Us
Author's Note: Well, I certainly didn't expect the first chapter to be so popular!
Thank you all so much, it means a lot to hear your kind reviews. Keep em coming!
Now, in the same "holiday" episode (and based on the picture of Rider Strong sitting down by Sabrina Carpenter), Shawn has a scene with Maya where they learn that there are similar things between them

Chapter 2: What's Real and What Isn't
"I still can't believe that kid is Minkus' son," exclaimed Shawn as he and Cory entered Riley's room.
"Who, Farkle?" The two looked up to see Riley and Maya, sitting on the bench by the window.
Cory chuckled, and replied, "Yeah, uh... He popped up at the wrong window, and kind of freaked out Shawn."
"Hey, I was not freaked out," said Shawn, looking at Cory. "Just can't believe there's a woman out there who would... 'reproduce' with him."
Then, for some reason, both he and Maya shivered in disgust, while Cory and Riley raised their eyebrows in surprise.
"Well, it makes sense considering that we hadn't seen him for four years," shrugged Cory.
Maya frowned in confusion, and said, "But I thought you all went to the same school together."
"Well, yeah, he was there," replied Shawn. "But he was also somewhere else."
"Where?"
Cory and Shawn pointed across the room, and the photographer said, "Over there on the other side."
Riley and Maya looked at each other, both confused, and the blonde teen said, "That doesn't make sense."
Before Cory could explain it more, Riley suddenly got up, and said, "Hey, Dad, I want to show you something..."
As she led her away, Shawn stayed in the room, chuckling to himself, while Maya remained by the window. "What's so funny?"
"Oh, just thinking about the times when me and Cory were in middle school," replied Shawn, slowly coming over. "And if you and Riley will have your own adventures like we did."
Maya smirked as she raised an eyebrow, and said, "Well, we have a long way to go in order to top your high-school schemes..."
Shawn kept on chuckling, but then, he started looking around the room, and said, "Hey, um... Is there any particular reason why I haven't seen your mom or dad since I've been here?"
Maya's pleased expression went to sadness as she replied, "I don't know a lot about my dad... And my mom... She doesn't really pay all that attention to me."
Shawn took a deep breath, and sighed as he walked over to sit by her. "I know how you feel... My parents went through a divorce, so while they were doing all that stuff, I either stayed with Cory and his parents or with a teacher of mine named Mr. Turner."
Shawn paused his story as he frowned in confusion. "Huh... I didn't really see much of him either..."
Maya chuckled for a little bit, but she still looked upset. "Well, then I guess we both got sucky parents."
Shawn looked at her for a little bit, then smiled as he said, "Hey... Do you know what the difference is between me and my dad?"
Maya shook her head, so Shawn responded with, "The difference is that I would never do anything like that to my own kids... if and whenever I have kids... But my point is that as adults, me and Cory have options and choices that weren't easy for our parents to have. We decide on what is right and wrong."
He then smiled, and added, "And I got to say this before I forget... You're lucky to have a great friend like Riley in your life. If I know Cory... and I still do... then you two are going to be perfect in each other's world."
Maya smiled, her eyes just slightly sparkling, while Shawn continued his lesson for her. "And, if it happens... If there is a time in your life when people are doubting you, or if there is a giant hole inside you that you're trying to stop people from seeing.."
He sighed, closing his eyes for a bit, before he finished with, "Then, go to the people that you care about, in which I mean come right here. They'll all be there for you, especially Riley... and it might take me a while, but the first chance I get, I'll be there for you."
He offered a handshake, like they'd done before at the cafe, but to his surprise, Maya suddenly wrapped her arms around him, and gave him a warm hug.
At first, Shawn was taken by surprise, but then, he smiled, and did the same. "We'll always be there for each other..."
As they hugged, two other people watching from the doorway were smiling at the sweet scene in front of them.
"You know, Riley, even though Shawn may not have always been here physically while you were growing up," said Cory, looking at his daughter. "He was always with you in here."
He put his hand over her heart for a moment, and said, "He's gonna be with us for a very long time... (Chuckle) even though your mother might get sick of it at times, I think Shawn is coming around to actually spending more time with us when it's available."
Riley smiled, and nodded her head, understanding, as she said, "Thanks, Dad... You know, now that I've seen you with him, I see something a lot special."
"What would that be, sweetie?"
"I see us, Dad... You're me, and Maya is Shawn..."
Cory took one more look at the two counterparts, and smiled as he led Riley away from the room. "Well, your world still has a long way to go in order to grow... but with Shawn coming back, it makes the experience a whole lot better."

Author's Note: I just want to say that, although the scenes I'm writing won't exactly be a 100% similar when it airs on Disney Channel, the future ones will be made out of my own ideas that won't be seen on tv
So, i hope you enjoy it, and if there are any ideas that you have, please let me know. Till next time!
