Maya watched as Riley walked away from Lucas and headed to the bar and talk with the bartender. Maya felt kind of bad for Lucas as he makes his way back to their table. She knew she could have told him about Riley getting flirty with people but she was watching out for her best friend heart.
But when she sees the look on Lucas face she almost wishes she had said something to protect his feelings. After all he was her friend too and she was protected of him as well. She looks back at Riley chewing on a straw dancing as the bartender makes her drink and she smacks her head.
She grabs her purse looking through it hoping she had some crackers or candy in there. She mentally curses herself when she notices all she had was gum. And she remembered the last time she gave Riley a stick of gum. She still had the phantom mark which she still felt on her shoulder.
"Guys we should go. It's getting late and I'm hungry." Maya tells the guys and Smackle as they sat at their table. "No way!" Zay tells her shaking his head at her. "Cotton candy face over there owes me a dance still and I come to collect."
Maya shook her head as Riley drank her drink asking the bartender something as he shakes his head. "No I think we should eat first. Riley needs food trust me Zay." She looks back at Riley who was pouting but still drinking her drink.
"Look I'm going to get my dance from that girl." Zay tells her standing up. "I'll give her a piece of gum to subdue her for now. Okay?" Maya shakes her head and smiles at him. He didn't want to listen so she was going to let what was about to happen happen.
"Okay twinkle toes go on offer her the gum and dance." Zay nods his head and walks over to Riley who was dancing while drinking yet another drink. "Maya what is going to happen?" Lucas asked watching as Maya smiled at Riley and Zay who were making their way to the dance floor.
"Oh it's better if you watch what is about to happen trust me ranger Rick." He looks at her confused and turns back in time to see Zay offering a piece of gum to Riley and her glaring at him. "Nothing hap.." Lucas is cut off by the sound of Zay scream.
Maya laughs as Zay comes back to the table holding his hand. "That girl is crazy!" Zay tells them looking at his hand. Lucas looks at him and watches as he whimpers holding his hand. "Zay don't be a baby she didn't even break skin." Maya tells him as she grabs a wipe from the first aid kit in her bag.
"Wait?" Lucas tells them shaking his head. "What did Riley do?" Maya laughs as Zay shows him the bite mark on his hand. He looks at it with wide eyes making Maya laugh louder. "Maya you meanie. You knew she do that to him?" Josh asked poking her sides.
"Of course I did and technically I warned him." Maya tells him smacking Josh's hand away. She looks at the dance floor and doesn't see Riley making her stand up. "Crap!" She mutters looking around for her best friend. "Zay where did you leave Riley?"
He points at the dance floor but doesn't see Riley anymore. "She was right there." He tells them standing up with Maya. "She probably went to get another drink or the bathroom." Zay says as they hear someone yell ow on the dance floor.
"Okay everyone spread out and find Riley before she gets arrested for assault." Maya tells the gang putting on her bag and standing on her chair to find Riley. "Why would Riley get arrested?" Farkle asked as another person shouted ow.
"Well our dear friend Riley tends to wander when she gets hungry." Maya tells them getting off the chair. "I do not see how that would lead her to get arrested?" Smackle asked standing next to Maya and scanning the club.
"Well she also tends to bite. And if you offer her a piece of gum she will really bite." She shows them the photo she had on her phone of the bite on her shoulder Riley gave her. They all grimace at the deep bite marks and blood.
They all agreed to spread out and find her since Lucas had her phone still and Charlie came up to them saying Riley had just bit his arm. Lucas smirked and went in the direction of where Charlie had just came from. He thought he spotted her but it wasn't her.
Maya texted saying she wasn't in the bathroom and Farkle and Smackle said she wasn't in the VIP section. Lucas didn't bother asking Zay who was dancing with some girl making Lucas shake his head and continue searching.
He finds her sitting at the bar eating the olives from the martini in front of her. "Hey there you are." He tells her sitting down next to her. "Oh Lucas do you happen to have some food I'm quite famished."
He pats his pockets shaking his head and Riley pouts. "Come on we can go get you something to eat." She shakes her head not moving just slowly sipping her drink and munching on the olives. He sighs texting Maya he found her and was taking her out.
"Okay let's go Riley." He tells her standing up and clapping his hands together. "No I'm quite alright where I am so no thank you." She turns so she was facing the wall instead of him. He rubs his neck and pulls out the mints he justs remembered he had in his pocket.
He holds them out to her and she turns glaring at him. "I'll have you know mints are not food they're merely a sad excuse for a snack. So get those horrid things out of my sight."
Lucas shook his head and knew he was going to regret what he was about to do. He puts a few mints in his hand standing in front of her smiling at her as he pops a few of them in his mouth offering her some.
She downs the rest of her drink wiping her mouth with the back of her hand and stands glaring at him. He smiles putting more in his hand eating them making sure to crunch them.
"What the bloody hell do you think you're doing?" She asked when he held the mint to her lips. He chuckles holding his finger up asking someone next to them if they had gum. They give him a piece and he holds it out to Riley who shakes her head and bites Lucas on the wrist.
"Ow damn that hurt!" Lucas shouted grabbing Riley throwing her over his shoulder. She hits him on the back shouting curse words in French at him as they make their way across the club. He smacks her on the butt as they make their way through the crowd of onlookers.
"Did you just smack my bum?" Riley yells lifting her head looking his way. He does it again as she tries to bite him as he walks. "What is going on?" Josh asked as Maya laughs at Lucas carrying Riley over his shoulder.
"In a past life your niece was a shark." Lucas tells him as they start walking. He looks at him confused and Lucas pulls up his shirt showing him the teeth marks around his wrist. "Damn she got you good. You are already bruising." Josh tells him as Maya hands Riley a Twix she got from the deli down the street.
"Well this isn't going to hold her she already trying to bite me. And that deli was closing." Maya tells them as they continue walking hoping to find a diner or store. "Well let's just walk and hope it holds her until we find something." Farkle tells her looking up places on his phone.
After walking for a block they find a gas station down the road from a biker bar that looked open still. Lucas puts Riley down on the sidewalk watching his fingers as she chomps at him. He goes in telling Zay to watch her so they could get something to eat.
They look around the store grabbing different snacks deciding to just go to Farkle place since it was getting later. Lucas walks out and doesn't see Riley or Zay and he looks up and down the street. "Shit." He mumbles quietly walking back in the store.
"We got a problem." Lucas tells Maya as he sees Zay come from the bathroom. He walks towards him and Zay looks at him with wide eyes hiding behind Smackle. "Look I had to go she said she was okay." Maya wacks him with her purse calling Riley's cell.
Lucas feels his pants pocket buzz and shows Maya he still had Riley's phone. They groan and Maya hits him as they walk outside. Two bikers walk pass them talking about a brown eye girl who looked like she could hold her liquor.
Maya and Lucas share a look and Lucas walks down to the bar as Maya shows them a picture of Riley to make sure it was her. Lucas enters the bar and looks around for her.
He finally spots her sitting with some biker guys who were giving her peanuts. "So that is why Pluto is still my favorite planet even though the world no longer sees it that way." Lucas hears as he gets closer he sees them sniffing and wiping their eyes.
"That's beautiful Riley. I love Pluto too." The guy on her right tells her crying as Riley comforts him. " let it out Tony." She holds up a shot handing him one as they cheers and toss them back before grabbing their beers.
"Lucas!" Riley yells throwing her hands in the air. Lucas walks up to the table seeing the bikers looking him up and down. "So Riley this your old man?" Tony asks her as she pops another peanut in her mouth.
"No he's my cowboy coming on his white horse to whisk me away." She giggles as she drinks her beer. "Okay well hell sit down man have a drink." Tony tells him moving so he could sit with Riley. "So cowboy what do you do for a living?"
Lucas was nervous for the first time in his life to tell someone what he did for a living. These guys look like they beat people up as a profession and it freaked him out. "I'm.. a veterinarian." He mumbles looking down at his hands.
"A what?" Tony asked scooting closer to hear what he said. "I'm a veterinarian." Lucas watched waiting for them to start laughing but they just smiled with one of them saying that what was his son was. Lucas nervously chuckled rubbing his neck wondering where the gang was.
They order another round of shots as Lucas watches the door to see if any of the group were going to come in. "No thanks I'm kind of designated driver or walker for this one." He says pointing at Riley. They nod and hand Riley another one clinking them together before they drank them.
Finally Maya and Josh come in and spot them looking at them with wide eyes. "Riles?" Maya asked as they approached the table. "Friends of yours Riley?" Tony asked as Riley squinted as she ate peanuts. "Yeah I know them. That's my uncle and my peaches." She giggled.
"Would you two like to join us?" Tony gets up and Josh stands behind Maya. "No that's okay we have friends waiting for us. We have to get going." The bikers groan as Lucas helps Riley up from the booth. "Hey don't frown here." She takes a napkin and asks Maya for a pen.
"This is a bakery my mum owns it. I'm in there all the time so stop by so we can talk." They all cheer and say their goodbyes to her as they walk out the bar. "Okay I think that goes on the list of things I never thought I would see." Maya tells them as Lucas puts Riley on his back.
"So where are we headed?" Zay asked yawning. Farkle chuckles and tells them they were headed to their place by nyu. They had plenty of room that everyone could stay over if they wanted. They luckily find cabs getting to their place quicker than walking. Since Lucas had to put Riley down as soon as the car stopped she got out dancing around.
Lucas pays the cab looking around for Riley who took off yet again. Luckily she had the bag of snacks he bought for her. He tells them he was going to look for her and would bring her back.
He walks around and finally spots her dancing in the fountain only to stop and try to take off her dress.
