Marry You
Maya and Lucas weren't dating. Even though Lucas and Riley decided in high school that they were better off as friends, Lucas and Maya didn't bother trying to date again. They were just really good friends, best friends even. With Farkle at Princeton, Smackle at Harvard, Zay at University of Texas, and Riley at UC Berkeley, Lucas and Maya stayed in New York, both getting into NYU. It was no surprise to anyone that the two decided to get an apartment together and become roommates after getting into NYU together.
Being roommates worked out well for the two, but people always wondered why the two never dated anyone. No one mentioned that any time Maya would try to bring a guy home, Lucas would walk around shirtless in the apartment and intimidate the guy by doing pullups on the doorframe, or that when Lucas tried to bring a girl back to the apartment Maya would always be 'conveniently' making cupcakes wearing only one of Lucas's t-shirts.
But Lucas and Maya were not dating.
"Come on Maya! You're the one who thought it'd be fun for us to road trip to Riley's graduation instead of flying like everyone else! We need to leave soon or we'll have to drive for 2 days straight." Lucas complained as he stood near the front door of the apartment ready to leave.
"Chill, Huckleberry, we've still got 4 days to get there, and we have plenty of time to make the drive. And anyways, you should be glad I'm dragging you on this vacation before you start your summer internship at the Vet Clinic. You literally just finished exams yesterday, live a little!" Maya shouted as she dragged her suitcase out of her bedroom.
It's a beautiful night,
We're looking for something dumb to do.
Hey baby,
I think I wanna marry you.
"Damn Huckleberry, I'm glad that we planned this drive to be 4 days, because you're driving like a grandma!" Maya said as she leaned the passenger seat up to mess with the radio.
"Really Maya? We're making excellent timing, we're only on the second day of the drive and even with the stop at the motel last night, we only have like 10 hours left of driving. Trust me, we're making good time." Lucas replied as he swatted Maya's hand away from the radio dial.
"Huckleberry, I'm bored! We've been driving all day! We should stop and do something fun!" Maya whined as she stared out the car window.
"Seriously Maya? Did you think that driving in a car for 2 days would be super fun? Driving gets boring after the first hour, and we have like 40 of them." Lucas said with a smirk.
"You know, Vegas is only a couple of hours away… we could always stop there for the night. That'd be fun. Maybe we could even win a car! For Riley for her graduation! Let's do it!" Maya looked at Lucas with a pitiful begging look on her face.
"Alright, but we can only spend the night there, we have to get back on the road in the morning so we can be there for Riley's graduation." Lucas conceded as he rerouted the GPS towards Las Vegas.
Is it the look in your eyes,
Or is it this dancing juice?
Who cares baby,
I think I wanna marry you.
"Good job on getting us that room upgrade, Huckleberry. I always knew that accent, wink, and hat tip would be good for something." Maya said as she made herself a drink at the minibar in the room.
"Or maybe the girl at the counter told me that we looked really cute together and that she hoped we enjoyed our honeymoon." Lucas chuckled as he took the drink Maya handed to him.
"Hey, free upgrade is a free upgrade, and I'll take it." Maya responded as she clicked glasses with Lucas.
Well I know this little chapel on the boulevard we can go oh oh oh,
No one will know oh oh oh,
Oh, come on, girl.
Who cares if we're trashed got a pocket full of cash we can blow oh oh oh,
Shots of patron,
And it's on, girl.
"Come on Huckleberry, let's go gamble. We've got a car to win for Riley!" Maya said as she stumbled to stand from her spot on the ground.
"Alright, but let's take another shot before we leave the room." Lucas agreed as he poured 2 shots of tequila.
"Here's to a fun memorable night in Vegas with friends." Maya raised her glass before taking her shot.
Don't say no, no, no, no-no;
Just say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah;
And we'll go, go, go, go-go.
If you're ready, like I'm ready.
"Give me a dollar Huckleberry, I wanna play this slot machine. I got a good feeling about this one." Maya said as she reached back behind her to grab the money Lucas's outreached hand.
"WHOO JACKPOT! I KNEW IT! $5000.00! We should just cash out now and go celebrate! But wait, Riley's new car! Oh well, I'm sure Matthews bought her one. But come on, let's go celebrate this win Huckleberry!" Maya cheered as she danced around to the bells and whistles from the machine.
"That's so awesome Maya! Let's go and see what there is to do out on the town!" Lucas said as he grabbed Maya's hand and walked towards the cashier.
Cause it's a beautiful night,
We're looking for something dumb to do.
Hey baby,
I think I wanna marry you.
"Hey you know what would be funny Huckleberry, if we went to the chapel that we passed and got married. Like no one would believe it, it'd be the ultimate prank for everyone. We should totally do it." Maya laughed as she linked her arm through Lucas's arm.
"Ha! Seriously, that'd be so funny! We should totally do it! And we've got the money we won so we could go all out and even get Elvis to marry us. Let's do it!" Lucas agreed as he turned around to head back to the chapel.
Is it the look in your eyes,
Or is it this dancing juice?
Who cares baby,
I think I wanna marry you.
Lucas and Maya entered the chapel and walked straight up to the reception desk to put their name on the list.
"You sure you wanna do this Maya?" Lucas asked as he looked down at Maya.
"Yeah, it'll be great. When in Vegas right?" Maya said as she smiled up at Lucas.
I'll go get a ring let the choir bells sing like oooh,
So what you wanna do?
Let's just run girl.
"I guess that since I'm getting married I should probably give you this." Lucas said as he reached into his back pocket and pulled out his wallet.
"Seriously? Who just carries a ring in their wallet? Were you just gonna give it to any girl you met?" Maya scoffed as she looked at Lucas.
"Chill Maya, my grandparents gave it to me last weekend when they came up for graduation, I haven't had it that long. Grammy just told me to keep it on my person at all times, because you never know when you meet the one, so I put it in my wallet… so do you want it or not?" Lucas asked as he held the ring out to Maya.
"Shouldn't you get down on one knee or something?" Maya responded as she stuck her hand out for Lucas to place the ring on her finger.
"Well technically, you asked me if I wanted to get married in the chapel tonight, so you proposed to me first." Lucas said with a laugh.
If we wake up and you wanna break up that's cool.
No, I won't blame you;
It was fun, girl.
"So how long have you two been together?" A women from a couple waiting to get married asked.
"Umm, we've known each other for a little over 10 years, we've lived together for 4 years, dated for what? 3 days? And have just been friends ever since." Maya answered as she sat down beside Lucas.
"Yeah, and we've been engaged for about 10 minutes." Lucas added in as he smiled towards Maya.
"Well good luck to you two, this is my 4th marriage, and I figured Vegas was just as good as any to get married again." The women replied as she pointed to her new future husband.
Don't say no, no, no, no-no;
Just say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah;
And we'll go, go, go, go-go.
If you're ready, like I'm ready.
"Lucas Friar and Maya Hart?"
"Come on Huckleberry, let's get married." Maya said as she stood up and grabbed Lucas's hand, heading into the Chapel.
Lucas just followed Maya with a smile on his face.
Cause it's a beautiful night,
We're looking for something dumb to do.
Hey baby,
I think I wanna marry you.
"Do you Lucas take Maya to be your wife?" Elvis asked.
Lucas looked at Maya and grinned. "I do."
"Do you Maya take Lucas to be your husband?" Elvis asked Maya.
Maya squinted her eyes, as if studying Lucas, winked at him, and responded with a smile, "I do."
"Well by the powers vested in me by the state of Nevada, I now pronounce you husband and wife. Thank you, thank you very much. You may now kiss the bride." Elvis said.
Is it the look in your eyes,
Or is it this dancing juice?
Who cares baby,
I think I wanna marry you.
Lucas looked at Maya, and Maya looked up at Lucas. After a couple seconds of contemplation, Lucas put his hands on Maya's cheeks, leaned down and kissed her. Maya stood on her tip toes, meeting Lucas halfway for the kiss.
They stayed that way for almost 5 minutes, making out at the altar.
"Umm, excuse me, I know that you two are really happy to be married, but we have other couples that want to be married and you're still up here kissing." Elvis pointed out as he tapped Lucas on the shoulder.
"Oh yeah, thanks Elvis." Maya said as she grabbed Lucas's hand and walked out of the chapel.
Just say I do,
Tell me right now baby,
Tell me right now baby, baby.
Lucas and Maya barely made it back to the hotel room before attacking each other's mouths and hastily undressing each other, only breaking the kiss to pull Lucas's shirt over his head.
"Hey, Huckleberry, how come we've never done anything like this before?" Maya asked as she pushed Lucas onto the bed and straddled his waist.
"Probably because we were afraid of ruining a good friendship with a bad relationship. But now we're married so we can do this and not feel bad about it." Lucas responded as he flipped Maya over and started placing kisses down her neck.
"You're right Huckleberry, commence the marriage consummation!" Maya said with a laugh.
Oh, it's a beautiful night,
We're looking for something dumb to do.
Hey baby,
I think I wanna marry you.
"Maya, wake up." Lucas whispered in Maya's ear.
"Go away Huckleberry, I'm sleeping." Maya whispered back.
"Shortstack, we gotta get up." Lucas voiced.
"I'm tired, it's not my fault you kept me awake until the early hours of the morning." Maya replied as she rolled over onto her side to look at Lucas's face.
"Hey, I didn't hear you complaining about that last night, I'm pretty sure you were singing my praises towards the end of it." Lucas said back with a smirk.
"So, married huh?" Maya asked, addressing the elephant in the room.
"Yep… do you regret it?" Lucas looked at Maya with a serious expression on his face.
Maya smiled. "I think it was inevitable. It was gonna happen for us sooner or later I'm sure. We were always together, and we never really dated anyone. Somehow I always found that my dates never wanted to go on second dates, and none of yours ever tried to come back to the apartment. I think that we were pretty much married before, but now we can just turn my room into an art studio and share the bed in your room since its bigger." Maya said with a wink.
"I'm glad to hear you say that, because I feel the exact same way." Lucas responded as he leaned over to kiss Maya.
"I thought you said we had to get up." Maya asked as Lucas trailed kisses down Maya's torso.
"We've got a little time before we have to leave." Lucas said with a wink.
Is it the look in your eyes,
Or is it this dancing juice?
Who cares baby,
I think I wanna marry you.
A few hours and a shared shower later, Lucas and Maya were finally on their way to Riley's graduation.
"Huckleberry, what are we gonna tell everyone?" Maya asked as she played with the radio from the passenger seat.
"We should just walk around with our wedding rings and see if anyone notices, and then if anyone asks, then we tell them." Lucas said as he held Maya's left hand and placed a kiss on it.
"Okay, that sounds like a good plan, but if no one figures it out and asks us, we're still sleeping in the same room." Maya said, giving Lucas a pointed look.
"Peaches! Lucas! I'm so glad you guys made it! Graduation is tomorrow and I'm so glad all my friends are here!" Riley squealed as she ran out to hug them.
"Hey Riles! I wouldn't miss this for the world, you know that!" Maya responded as she hugged Riley back.
"Something's different… ZAY! FARKLE! SMACKLE! GET OUT HERE! IT'S HAPPENED! IT FINALLY HAPPENED!" Riley shouted.
"What's the matter babe?" Zay asked as he ran out the front door.
"Riley what's going on?" Farkle called out as he followed Zay down the steps.
"Maya and Lucas have arrived apparently." Smackle announced as she walked out the door.
"SOMETHING'S DIFFERENT. LOOK AT THEM." Riley shouted.
"You're right, they do seem more relaxed and at ease around each other." Farkle observed as he looked at them.
"I knew it! You guys finally got rid of all that sexual tension between you two!" Zay quipped as he clapped Lucas on the back.
"Hmm, I don't that's all..." Smackle said with a pointed look at Maya and Lucas.
"AND YOU GUYS ARE DATING?!" Riley squealed.
"Well… um… actually…. Honey, Huckleberry and I…. kinda… got married last night." Maya squinted her eyes bracing herself for the response that her words were gonna get.
"MARRIED?!" Riley, Zay, Farkle, and Smackle all yelled at the same time.
Lucas leaned down to press a kiss to Maya's lips before responding, "Yep. We stopped in Vegas last night and got married. And it was the best decision we ever made."
