I am a huge fan of shows like Xena Warrior Princess, Charmed, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Angel, Supernatural, Boy Meets World, Big Bang Theory, How I Met Your Mother, and more! I can't wait to read people's fan fiction on those specific shows and plan on doing some of my own. Since I have only started reading fan fiction recently it won't come to a surprise to you guys then when I tell you this is my first piece I am writing myself.

Thank you for taking the time to read and I hope you keep up with my story even though it might take some time to write. Again I hope you'll enjoy it. Now for Chapter 2!
Girl Meets A Whole New World - Chapter 2
Riley's alarm clock goes off, It's 5:30am. Riley is usually full of energy and is her extremely happy go lucky self as soon as she wakes up in the morning but today she seems to be feeling tired and confused. She wonders to herself why this is. Then she remembers that she tossed and turned the majority of the night thinking about the weird feeling her body was filled with after her and Maya hugged and Maya gave her a kiss on the cheek. So tingly. So powerful. "What was that?" Riley wonders to herself. "Maya and I hug all the time. We've kissed each other on the cheek thousands of time. Never did anything like that happen before." Riley tries to shake the thought out of her head. She knows she has to get up and get ready for school. She drags herself out of bed and goes to her closet and grabs some clothes. Shen then goes to take a shower. Being as tired as she is Riley took and extra long shower. When she was finished she went to her room to finish getting ready for school. Before Riley decide to head downstairs for breakfast she takes one last look at herself. "It was nothing. Just some weird freak...Whatever. No reason to act weird. No reason to act different." Riley says to herself quietly. She then nods to herself in the mirror and gives herself a big smile. She then heads down stairs for breakfast with her family.
Riley - "Hello family."
Mr. Matthews/Cory - "Hey honey. You're late for breakfast. You're never late for breakfast. You're never late for anything. Is everything ok?"
Riley - "Yes daddy everything is fine. I'm just tired. I didn't get much sleep last night, so I am moving a little slower this morning."
Topanga - "You didn't get much sleep? Riley you always sleep perfectly. You sure everything is alright?" Riley's mother asks, a little concerned.
Riley - "Yes mom I'm fine."
Topanga walks over to her daughter and checks her forehead. "You're not getting sick are you?"
Riley - "I said I'm fine Ok! Just leave it alone!" Riley says irritably shooing her mother's hand away.
Topanga - "Ok I'm gonna blame that on being tired but you still don't talk to me that way."
Riley - "Sorry mom." Riley says blandly.
Just then Maya comes through the Matthews's front door. "Whaddup losers?"
This puts a big smile on Riley's face as usual. "PEACHES!" Riley spins around to look at her best friend. "Wow! She looks GORGEOUS!" Riley says to herself. "Where did that come from?" Riley says, this time out loud but without realizing it. Riley is now spaced out in her own thoughts.
This makes Maya stop just a few feet in front of Riley. She looks at her friend strangely. She then walks up to her friend and snaps her fingers in front of her face causing Riley to snap out of her haze.
Riley "What?"
Maya - "What's wrong with you this morning?"
Riley - "Nothing why?"
Maya - "Cause ya called me Peaches, Then ya said where did that come from acting like ya haven't called me Peaches a zillion times since we've been friends. Then ya completely spaced out. So I ask again, what's wrong with you?"
Riley - "Oh sorry, not thinking clearly this morning. Didn't get much sleep. Very tired."
Maya - "You didn't get much sleep last night? Riley you always sleep perfectly. What's the problem?"
Topanga - "That's what I said. Exact words too."
Maya once again looks at Riley. "Well?"
Riley - "Nothing, just didn't sleep well. It happens."
Maya - "Not to you it don't"
Topanga brings over her daughter's breakfast and sits it in front of her then looks at Maya. "Maya? some breakfast?"
Maya - "Always Mamma Topi!" Maya says with a big smile.
Topanga looks at Maya weirdly. "Mamma Topi?"
Maya - "Yea thought I would try it out. Whatcha think?"
Topanga looks at Maya. "I like it. " She says with a small laugh.
Maya - "Good! Then Mamma Topi it is."
Mr. Matthews/Cory - "Hey Maya, got a nickname for me too?"
Maya - "I do."
Mr. Mathews/Cory - "Oh yea? What is it?"
Topanga - "You sure you wanna know Honey? It is Maya, and you are her teacher."
Mr. Matthews/Cory - "I'm sure it's not that bad." Cory says to his wife. Looking back at Maya he asks. "So what is it?" Cory asks with a big smile on his face.
Maya - "He who ruins my life with homework...How ya like it?" Maya asks giving a sarcastic smile back to Mr. Matthews.
Mr. Matthews/Cory - "You suck Hunter."
Topanga - "CORY!"
Riley - "DAD!"
Maya - "Hey you can't say that to me!"
Mr. Matthews/Cory - "Yes I can and you wanna know why?"
Maya - "Why?"
Mr. Matthews/Cory - "Because I'm not your teacher right now. I'm just your best friends dad who you annoyed. But speaking of homework, did you two start your project last night?"
Maya - "You can't ask me that right now?"
Mr. Matthews/Cory - "Why Not?"
Maya - "Cause you're not my teacher right now. You just my best friend's dad." Maya throws Cory's words back in his face triumphantly.
Mr. Matthews/Cory - "Maya?"
Maya - "Matthews." Maya responds sarcastically.
/Cory - "Riley is my daughter. I love and care for her very much. You are her best friend. Someone I have come to love and care for very much as well. You are like a second daughter to me. Also your dad is my best friend. So aaaall that combined gives me the right to ask you whatever I want whenever I want. You know, except for anything really personal." Cory ends jokingly.
Maya just sits there not knowing what to say. So she says the first thing that comes to mind after a short time. "You suck Matthews!"
Riley/Topanga - "MAYA!"
Mr. Matthews/Cory just laughs at her. "Oh yea? And why do I suck Hunter?"
Maya - "Because you made a very good and thoughtful point and I had nothing to come back with." Maya says in joking frustrating way.
Mr. Matthews/Cory - "So?"
Maya - "Sooo what?"
Mr. Matthews/Cory - "DID YA GUYS START YOUR PROJECT LAST NIGHT?!" Cory asked throwing his hands up in a over exaggerated frustrated voice.
Maya - "Yes Matthews. Riley convinced me that we could work on it every other day and have the days in between off, and not, as she put it in her not so elegant way, do it MY way and wait and cram it all in on Sunday the night before it's due. So, since we worked on it last night,we have tonight off and can do whatever we want."
Mr. Matthews/Cory - "Maya?"
Maya - "Yea."
Mr. Matthews/Cory - "You do realize you have 6 other classes besides mine right?"
Maya - "What's your point?"
Mr. Matthews/Cory - "My point is I'm sure in at least one of those classes you will still have homework to do tonight for."
Maya - "Wow Matthews. You really know how to ruin a girls day before it even starts."
Mr. Matthews/Cory - "That's my job." Cory says with another over exaggerated smile. "Well at least one of them."
Topanga - "Speaking of starting your day, you guys gotta get out of here or you'll be late. That means you to He Who Ruins." Topanga says looking at her husband but then smiles at Maya.
Maya laughs when she hears what Topanga called her husband.
Maya - "Alright Riley I suppose we should head out."
Riley - "Yea ok."
Halfway to the door Maya grabs Riley's hand like she has do many other times. This time though was different just like last nights hug and kiss on the cheek. Riley stops dead in her tracks as she once again feels the tingly sensation. This time it starts in her hand and is making it's way up her arm. Riley just stares at her and her best friend's hand intertwined.
Maya looks at her best friend strangely again for the second time in a short period this morning. "Riley? Everything ok Sweetie?"
Riley - "Huh? Oh yea. I think I just stood up a little to fast. I got a little dizzy." Riley lied.
Topanga - "Riley are you sure you're feeling ok?"
Riley - "Yes mom I'm fine." Riley looks at Maya. "Lets go before we miss the subway." Riley grabs her backpack and walks out the door. Maya follows behind her.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Riley and Maya makes it to school and are heading towards their lockers to meet up with their friends. As they approach Zay starts talking right away.
Zay - "Ooh you guys missed it."
Lucas - "Really? That's the first thing you're gonna bring up as soon as they get here?"
Maya - "Aww what's wrong Huckleberry? Was Judy the sheep in your dreams laughing at you all night again?"
Lucas - "Ok first of all I don't have nightmares about Judy the sheep...Anymore... And you know it. C'mon I conquered Tombstone the bull. Second of all..." Lucas stops mid sentenced, not knowing how to tell the girls what happened.
Smackle - "Missy Bradford asked Lucas out." Smackle blurted out.
Riley and Maya - "WHAT?!"
Lucas - "Thanks for just blurting it out there Smackle." Lucas said looking a little frustrated at his friend.
Smackle - "Well you look like you were having some issues with the matter."
Riley did not like this at all. "What did you say?"
Lucas - "What's with all the concern Riley?"
Riley - "We all know you're going to date other girls Lucas, that's obvious. But if anything serious comes of one of them, one of two things is gonna happen. She's gonna either A, become a member of our group, or B, Try and steal you away from us. And I..We don't want that bit..Witch trying to steal you away again."
Maya - "RILEY MATTHEWS WHAT WERE YOU GOING TO SAY?!"
Riley - "Nothing. I just called her a witch."
"That is not what you were gonna say!" The whole group said in surprise.
Riley - "Whatever. So? What did you say? What was your answer?"
Lucas - "I told her no Riley. I don't know why she would even try after how things ended a couple years ago. Anyway, we should probably head to class before we're late."
Lucas, Zay, Farkle, and Smackle head to class. Riley was just about to go to but Maya stopped her by grabbing her hand.
Riley - "Tingles." Riley says quietly
Maya - "What?"
Riley - Huh? Oh nothing. What's up?"
Maya - "Sweetie? Please tell me you're not crushing on Huckleberry again...Or still."
Riley - "NO! Not Lucas. Wait a minute." Riley even surprised herself with the last part of what she just said."
Maya - "Oh really?" Maya asked mischievously. "So then who? Wait seriously you got a new crush? Who is it?!"
Riley - "Nobody. No new crush. We need to get to class."
Maya - "No, no, no, no, no, no, no. You tell me right now who this new crush is."
Just then Mr. Matthews peeked his head out from the classroom. "You two, in here, now."
Riley - "Yes daddy." She then looks a Maya again. "See I told you."
Maya - "Fine, but this conversation is far from over."
Both girls then walk into their first class of the day.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
After History class Maya and Riley are leaving the classroom heading to their next class.
Maya - "Alright we don't have next class together so spill now. Who is the new crush and when did it happen?" Maya asked excitedly.
Riley - "No new crush Maya, I don't know why I said it that way. It was just a mistake."
Maya - "Liar. Wait a minute. Are you falling for Zay?"
Riley smiles at the idea. "Look Zay is funny, sweet, kind, and cute. But I am not falling for him."
Maya - "You're right. You're not falling for him cause it sounds like you have ALREADY fallen for him."
Riley - "Maya, think of Zay and tell me you don't feel the same way towards him yourself."
Maya thinks about it for a few seconds. "Ok you're right."
Riley - "And are you falling for him?"
Maya - "No."
Riley - "Ok, now we gotta get to class. See you next period Peaches."
The Girls go there separate ways to their next classes.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
It's lunch time and the group of six have met each other at their lockers as usual.
Zay - "Oh man am I Starving! Whatever is for lunch today, I'll take 2."
Farkle - "And what's the difference between today and any other day?"
Lucas - "Nothin. Zay you're like a pregnant woman, you're always eating for two."
The group of friends laugh at this and start to walk to the lunchroom.
Maya - "Hey Riles." The 2 girls stop as the rest of their friends continue on their way.
Riley turns back to her friend. "Yea?"
Maya - I heard about something truly amazing happening tonight. Think I can stay at your place tonight and we can check it out?"
Riley - "Maya we are not sneaking out to another college party."
Maya - "It's not a college party."
Riley - "Fine. We're not sneaking out to any party."
Maya - "Riley, it's Tuesday. Not even the most brain dead kids are throwing a party on Tuesday."
Riley - "Good...Wait, then what is happening that is so amazing?" Riley asks looking at her friend quizzically.
Maya - "It's called the Double Moon." Maya replies with a twinkle in her eyes. "I heard some of the brainiacs talking about it last period. Mars is to be appearing in the sky so big tonight that it's suppose to look like a second moon."
Riley - "Wow, I bet it will be beautiful."
Maya - "Exactly! And I want to draw it! I thought we could go to the park. If we can find the right angle we could sit on one of the benches in front of the angel fountain. Imagine, the fountain, the trees, the night sky, hopefully a few night clouds. And the shine of 2 moons. It'll be gorgeous. And it's very rare that this happens. I cannot miss the opportunity to draw this."
Riley - "Maya that sounds amazing, but my curfew is 9:00 and bedtime is 9:30. And if you spend the night so is yours. It doesn't even start getting dark until 9:00 right now. There's no way my parents will allow it."
Maya - "This is a very rare occasion and your parents know how much Art means to me. I think they will understand and give us a little extra time for this one."
Riley - "Well I hope so cause it sounds great. We can ask my mom when we get home after school. So is this just something we're doing together or you wanna invite everyone else?"
Maya - "I love the guys and Smackle, you know that. But this is a very special moment. And I wanna share it the most special person in the world. So for tonight, just me and you."
Hearing Maya put it that way makes Riley weak in the knees and almost takes her breath away. Again Riley wonders to herself "What is going on?"
Riley - "Ok." Is all Riley can squeak out.
Maya - "Awesome. Then it's settled. Now let's go get some food before Zay eats it all."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
It's now the end of the school day, Riley and Maya have made it to Riley's house and are walking through the front door.
Riley - "Hey Mom, Hey Auggie."
Maya - "hey Mamma Topi. Hey Augster."
Topanga - "Hey girls how was school?"
Maya - "For the most part the usual. Dull, boring, bleak. But! I heard about something amazing that is happening tonight. And so we have 2 questions for you."
This makes Topanga curious. She eyes the 2 girls suspiciously. "Ok? and what are those 2 questions?"
Riley - "Number 1, can Maya spend the night?"
Topanga - "Yea, sure, of course."
Maya - "Great and 2, can we have a later curfew tonight?"
Topanga - "Now why would we allow that? Wait a minute. Does this have something to do with the "Amazing" something that's going on tonight?"
Maya and Riley - "Yes."
Topanga - "No. It's a school night and rules are rules."
Riley - "We know mom but just hear Maya out. It isn't a party or anything. It's very special."
Topanga looks at her daughter then at Maya. "Ok lets hear it. What's so special?"
Maya - "It's called the Double Moon." Maya got the twinkle in her eye explaining it to Topanga the same way she did when she explained it to Riley earlier. "Mars is going to appear so big in the sky tonight that it's suppose to look like a 2nd moon. It's going to be gorgeous and I have to draw it! Please Topanga! I cannot miss out on this happening."
Topanga - So this is a special moment for you and your Art?"
Maya - "Yes."
Topanga then looks at Riley - "And this is a special moment for you because it involves your best friend and what she loves doing?"
Riley - "Of course." Riley says looking at Maya with a huge smile.
Topanga - "Ok since this is a rare and special moment, and the fact that I really wanna see your drawing of this amazing moment, I will give you guys permission to stay out later tonight. 1 hour later is all you get. So that means home by 10:00."
Maya - "2 hours."
Topanga - "Maya Hunter do not take advantage of my kindness young lady."
Maya - "Please Topanga. This is a very rare and special moment. I really wanna capture it and I don't wanna be rushed."
Topanga - "Maya I understand, but tomorrow is still a school night and..."
Maya cuts Topanga off. "I'll make you a deal!"
Topanga - "What kind of deal?"
Maya - "If you let us stay out a couple extra hours so I can Draw this moment tonight, I will take my drawing and repaint it just for you on a big canvas later on."
This seemed to perk Topanga's interest. "Really? Just for me?"
Maya - "Just for you Mamma Topi." Maya gives her a big smile.
Topanga - "Ok."
Both girls squeal and jump up and down.
Topanga - "BUT! If either one of you give me and Cory any problems in the morning or if you're late for school or have any issues in school because of this..." She points at Riley, "Curfew will be 6:00 for the next 2 weeks." She then points at Maya "And no sleeping over for 2 weeks as well."
Maya - "Deal!"
Riley - "MAYA!"
Maya - "Please Riley! This is really important to me. We can do it."
Riley - You're right. Ok mom deal."
Topanga - "You sure Riley? You already had some issues sleeping last night and was moving slower this morning."
Riley - "Of course I'm sure. It's really important to Maya so it's really important to me." Riley says smiling at Maya.
Topanga - "Ok then,well if ya got any homework to do, get it done before you go out. I'll tell your dad what's going on. He should be home any minute."
The Girls head to Riley's room.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Alright this is the end of Chapter 2. I know it's a weird way to end a chapter but I want all of chapter 3 to be just the time in the park between Riley and Maya and Maya's drawing. I know it's only 2 chapters so far but I hope you guys are liking it so far. I hope it's not too dull. I promise it will get more interesting as the story comes along. Please leave your reviews telling me what you think and give me some pointers on how I can do better if you don't mind. Thank you for reading :)
