"So you and Ranger Rick are getting married huh?" Maya said as cool as she could handle at this point. It wasn't that she was shocked that they got engaged, they all knew that would happen. It was more the fact that he hadn't asked a blessing from either her or Cory. They all thought that he had enough common sense to at least tell Cory about it. 'Ohh Cory is going to be so pissed that they might have to elope.
"Yeah, are you not happy with that Peaches?" Riley asked dragging Maya out of her thoughts.
"Huh, oh I am happy for you honey but I'm just worried that your dad is going to want to kill Lucas. Not that he actually would but he's going to be pissed." Maya answered trying to convey her worry.
"I'll be fine City Girl. Your Dad won't hurt me, I mean to much to you." Lucas assured Riley. They all knew that Riley was sensitive to things between her Dad and Lucas. As the time got closed to Christmas Riley's parents arrived with Auggie, Shawn, and Katy.
" Hey, Lucas how are you and Riley?" Cory asked to see if there was anything going on between the two of them.
"Yeah great sir, umm can I talk to you in private uhh please." Lucas stuttered just like planned. Cory nodded and as Lucas lead him in to hallway Riley winks at him and he continues.
"What is it Lucas?" Cory said trying not to be impatient.
Lucas took a deep breath then unintentionally/intentionally yells "I would like your blessing to marry your daughter. I wish to propose tonight." He closes his eyes and pictures Riley smiling wide and she runs up to him as he opens his eyes.
"Lucas really? Yes, yes I will marry you!" Lucas slides the ring back onto Riley's left ring finger and Cory clears his throat.
"I NEVER GAVE MY BLESSING!" Cory finally lost it. Topanga walked up to him slowly and continues for him, "But we give it to you all the same right Cory?"
"Yes, Topanga's right." Cory sighs in defeat while Topanga smiles in triumph. Maya giggled in the living room. "Maya what are you laughing at?" Cory asked his feelings hurt.
"Well first off that you guys are blind," Maya walked up to Riley "May I?" Riley gave her left hand to Maya. Maya took off the ring and pointed and the mark left on Riley's finger. "This, yeah it's called a tan…" Josh pulled her back before she could say anymore.
"I think this one has had a little too much to drink. Here Riles." Josh tossed the ring back to her. " I'll take her upstairs."
"It's called a tan line" Maya yelled on their way up.
Lucas face palmed himself while Riley rubbed his back. "She was just kidding. It's from a promise ring he got me 5 months ago. I took it off so you wouldn't see it." Riley fib to make it less tense.
"A promise ring huh?" Riley nodded at her father. "Show me this 'PROMISE RING' Riley." Riley ran to her room to get the ring. She grabbed the knot ring Lucas got her for Valentine's Day last year. When she brought it out she was crying. Lucas hugged her tight to his chest after she handed Cory the ring.
"Uhh Mrs. Matthews…" Lucas asked not even having to finish the sentence. Topanga handed the ring back to Lucas and walked a still angry Cory out the door. Auggie was soon to follow.
