Riley pov
I sit down at the bay window and stare at the moon shining off the water when i hear my computer go off. "Hey kiddo." I smile and say "uncle Shawn!" He chuckles and says "how you been? That uncle of yours isn't there with my daughter is he?" I giggle and say "no Maya didn't bring him although I think he might come out here." His eyes widen and he says "I think I'm going to have to face time with that daughter of mine tomorrow and have a talk with her. It's bad enough she is living with him. At least there i can come over and stop anything from happening." I shake my head and say "you've become as bad as dad when i was with Lucas." Shawn chuckles and says "nobody can top your dad he is in a class all by himself." I smile and nod my head. "So is it weird being there with him around?" I shake my head and say "no I think we are finally reaching a good place in our relationship where it isn't weird anymore and he has a girlfriend now too." Shawn looks at me and smiles. "What?" I say laughing. "nothing it's just you've become so wise Riley Matthews." "Thank you."
He laughs and then says "so have you heard back from them yet?" I sigh and say "not yet I don't think they are going to choose me." He shakes his head and says "kiddo they would be fools not to. They loved your pictures from our trip to Ireland. Have you told anyone or your parents?" I sigh and lean back on the bay window. "Nobody knows except my roommate Christian and smackle when i asked her to look at the contract." He nods and says "do you plan to tell anyone about it?" I shake my head and say "i don't want to jinx it. Telling people will make it real and i want this summer to just be fun and not have everyone try to change my mind about it." "What about Cory and Topanga?" I look at him and say "uncle Shawn you know as well as i do that if I tell them my dad would lock me in my room and my mom would use her scary lawyer voice to get them to choose someone else." He starts laughing and i hear Katy calling him and he says he has to go.
I close my computer and stare out the window i start smiling and grab my bag and towel heading towards the beach. I put my towel down and lay on it staring up at the stars. Ten minutes passes by and someone shines a light on me. "Excuse me miss the beach is closed what are you doing out here?" Someone says in a deep voice. I shield my eyes and say "oh sorry I was waiting on someone." "This someone is he always late like this?" I giggle and say "sadly yes. Pretty sure on his tombstone it's gonna say sorry running late." He chuckles and turns off the flashlight sitting next to me and says "that's just cold Riley I'm pretty sure it will say Lucas Friar always on time." I sit up and nudge him saying "okay sure Friar."
We sit there staring at the water and I look at him and say "you ready Dr. cowboy?" He stands up pulling me with him and says "hey I'm not a doctor yet." I laugh and say "so you are just a cowboy right now?" He smiles and nods his head. We walk to back to the house and grab the bikes Farkle had. "You weren't waiting long for me were you?" He asks. I shake my head and say "not really maybe ten minutes why?" We start petaling and he says "oh nothing I was just waiting for Jen to go to sleep before I left." I stop and say " Luke you didn't have to do that. You could have just told her what we are doing." He turns his bike back around and says "I know it's just she had a allergic reaction to something and she took some meds and I didn't want to leave her till she finally got comfortable."
I smile and say "Lucas Friar you're adorable." I pinch his cheeks and see them turn red. He clears his throat and says "okay funny girl are you ready?" I nod my head and we bike down the road. Once we get there we park the bikes and walk back down on the beach. "So you got the first aid kit right?" He asks. I roll my eyes and say "yes cowboy I got it. I highly doubt we will have a repeat of the first time we did this?" He looks at me and says "oh really? Tell that to the scar we both have on our shoulders." I gasps and say "okay it was your fault anyway for scaring me and making us both fall on the rocks." He shakes his head and I say "you know I'm right Friar." "Okay your right let's go." We climb over the little dune and reach the hidden cave we found years before.
"Think our box is still in there?" He asks. I smile and say "only one way to find out." We climb inside the cave and spot the opening we marked with our initials. I pull the box out and shake it. "Might need a bigger one? Did you bring two notes since we didn't do it last year?" He pulls out the two pieces of folded paper and says "so are we ever going to read what we wrote to each other or just fill this box up and have someone else find it and read them?" I smile and put my notes in the box and close it putting it back. "Come on you know the rules of this tradition we made. We will know when the time is right to read them." He chuckles and we walk back out the cave. I smile and stare up at the sky. "What cha doing there sunshine?" I look at him and say "nothing just living in the memories at the moment."
He smiles and we hear Ella Henderson "Yours" playing from the house near the dune. Lucas smiles at me and bows saying "Miss Riley may I have this dance?" I giggle and curtsy saying "yes you may sir." He spins me and I rest my head on his shoulder. "I've always loved this song." I whisper. He smiles and say "me too. It is tied to a lot of moments for us." I look at him and he stares at me. "So did you know I can tell when it's going to rain?" I say changing the subject. He looks at me weirdly and I laugh and say "from my scar it starts hurting and then bam rain." He chuckles and spins me again. "Are you doubting my magical powers mad dog?" He shakes his head and says "never princess dancing sunshine."
We head back to the house and park the bikes. I look out at the water again and say "you know what other tradition we didn't do?" He looks at me with wide eyes and says "are you sure I mean we aren't together anymore wouldn't that be inappropriate now?" I laugh and playfully hit him saying "oh Lucas Friar you old pervert. We both got bathing suits underneath so we can do it minus the nudity." He shakes his head as we walk down to the beach and says "spoil sport." I gasps and chase after him. "Okay you ready?" I say taking off my shirt and shorts. I see him staring and smack him. "Eyes on my face cowboy." He laughs and says "I see you added to the tattoo." He points at my shoulder where our scar is and I say "yeah why you don't like the bear holding Pluto?" He touches it and says "no I do it suits you."
I look at him and we stood there staring at each other. I clear my throat and say "did you ever add to your jellybean wearing a cowboy hat tattoo?" He holds his shoulder and says "no it's just the jellybean and hat." We walk to the water and I say "on the count of three." We don't waste time and just jump in. We splash and swim under the moonlight for an hour and then head back to the house. "Thanks for keeping the tradition alive Luke." He hugs me and says "Always sunshine." I head inside and see Farkle holding a cup of tea watching us. "Night farkle." I say smiling.
Farkle pov
I wake up the next morning and lay there thinking about what happened last night and wondered what was going on? "Farkle are you alright?" Smackle asks touching my arm. I turn towards her and say "have you noticed anything between Riley and Lucas?" Smackle sits up and says "no Lucas is with Jennifer why would he have something going on with Riley? She made it clear she was okay with their relationship." I sit up and say "are you sure? They aren't flirting or sneaking off together when no one is around?" Smackle looks at me and says "I haven't seen anything why are you asking?"
I get up and say "never mind." I head down to the kitchen and see Maya and Zay laughing and clinking their cups together. "I knew it!" I shout startling them. Before they could respond Lucas and Jen come in the kitchen. "Morning everyone." Lucas says. "Hey is Riley up yet we're supposed to go shopping." Jen asks. I look at Lucas and say "Lucas do you know if Riley is up yet?" He stares at me and nervously chuckles saying "how should I know?" I see Maya looking at me and I get up and grab a muffin.
"Good morning friends." Riley says cheerfully. I hand her a cup and say "why so happy?" She shrugs and says "it's a beautiful day how could you not be happy." Smackle comes down and we all eat breakfast I stare at Riley and Lucas and I can feel Maya looking at me. "So everyone want to head into town?" Lucas asks. "No Farkle and Zay are helping me with something you guys go ahead." Maya says looking at me. Everyone leaves and Maya grabs me by the shirt and says "okay spill minkus?"
I pull my shirt out of her hand and say "you spill first? I saw you two conspiring did you two have anything to do with last night?" Zay and Maya share a look and say together "what happen?" I look at them and say "you don't know? I thought you two had schemed and push them together." Maya looks at me and says "okay tell us everything?" I shrug and say "all I know is I came down around 1 and they were hugging outside and they both looked happy and wet." Zay spits out his coffee and says "they hooked up?"
I shake my head and say "I don't know and you two really didn't push them together?" They shake their heads and Maya laughs and says "we haven't even begun and the universe is already putting things into motion." I sip my coffee and say "whatever you two have plan I want in. If the universe wants them together so do I." Maya smiles and says "welcome to the get Riley and Lucas back together club."
"I wanted a cool handshake but Maya said no." Zay whispers making me laugh.
