Recap:
Maya looked at her feet. "Hey Riles, I-I've missed you."
A tear ran down Riley's cheek. She went to hug Maya and Maya did the same. Suddenly another person joined their hug and then another until everyone was in a hug circle thing. They finally let go from hugging each other. Riley wiped the tear off her cheek and looked over at Charlie who was just standing there awkwardly.
"Who is that Maya?" She asked pointing curiously at Charlie. Everyone looked at Charlie. Maya started to giggle at her boyfriend who was so awkward standing there with all the eyes on him. She then went over to him and wrapped her arms around him.
"This is Charlie… My boyfriend." Maya said.
"Boyfriend?" everyone asked. Maya laughed and hugged Charlie tighter.
"So your boyfriend from London came with you to live here in New York?" Riley asked.
"Like a little puppy that follows you everywhere?" Lucas added. Maya laughed and shook her head.
"No, he is actually going to Columbia University next semester, so he thought he would come with me and we could spend the summer together so…." Maya said as Charlie put his arm around her.
"Yeah, I'm not a little puppy that just follows her around… Hi?" Charlie said awkwardly as everyone still looked at him as they waved to him.
"Well we got the bags into the car, I say we go." Katy said. Everyone nodded. Maya and Charlie walked behind everyone and held each other's hands.
"That was awkward." Charlie said to Maya who laughed a little.
"Charlie, they like you!" She said smiling at him. "Plus that wasn't as awkward as when I met your parents, all I could get out is 'My name is Maya.' That was awkward." Maya said to him. Charlie started to remember that night and how scared Maya was.
"The more I think about it that was the night I realized how amazing you are." Charlie told her as they reached the doors.
"That's sweet." Maya said. The group then stopped by two SUV's. "Did you rent these?" Maya asked the group.
"Yeah, we all wanted to see you ASAP." Riley said. Maya smiled and let go of Charlie's hand and hugged Riley.
"Okay so you two can ride in Josh's car." Topanga told Charlie and Maya. Maya looked over at Josh who was leaning on 'his' car and smiling at her. She then walked over to Josh and hugged him.
"Hey you weasel." He said to Maya.
"Hi Uncle Boing." She said laughing. She let go and walked back to Charlie. Everyone got into the car. Josh got into the driver's seat and Riley sat in the passenger side, Lucas and Farkle sat in the middle row, and Maya and Charlie sat in the back.
"So that's Josh?" Charlie whispered to Maya.
"Yeah, are you feeling threatened?" Maya asked whispering back to Charlie.
'Uh, no." Charlie said.
"You are." Maya whispered again to Charlie. "How can he compete with you?" Maya asked Charlie. He just smiled at her. She then cupped his face and kissed him. They kissed a little longer then pulled away. The car was silent for a while.
"So how long have you two been dating?" Lucas asked Charlie and Maya. Maya looked at Charlie.
"I think it's almost been a year?" Charlie asked Maya, who had to think a little.
"Yeah I think so." She said. The car then turned silent again. Riley turned on the radio to play Viva La Vida by Coldplay. Riley turned towards the back.
"Maya? Do you know this song, like the lyrics?" She asked like it was urgent.
"Yeah I love this song." She replied to Riley.
"I used to roll the dice feel the fear in my enemy's eyes, listen as the crowd would sing, now the old king is dead long live the king." Maya and Riley started to scream/sing. The boys started to laugh as the girls sang. Maya leaned on Charlie trying to get him to sing.
"Come on guys! Sing to the song!" Maya yelled at them. They all just laugh. "Uncle Boing! Sing! Real men sing." Josh laughed at what Maya yelled at him.
"I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing, Roman Calvary choirs a singing, be my mirror my sword, my shield. My missionaries in a foreign field." Josh sang along with the girls.
"Uncle Boing is singing!" Maya said joking around. The other boys then started to sing too, until the whole car was full of people singing. They were singing until they arrived at the Matthews apartment. Maya looked at the apartment and Topanga's café. They all brought back good memories. As everyone got out of the cars.
"Well before we go in we need two people to go return the cars." Cory said.
"Oh, Charlie needs to get dropped off at Columbia University." Maya pointed out.
"I could take them and someone else can drive too." Josh said. Lucas raised his hand.
"I could too." He said everyone nodded. Lucas, Josh, Maya, and Charlie got into the cars and drove away.
