This idea came to me, and I was excited to write. I hope you all like it, as much as I do.


"Ladies and gentlemen, for the first time Mr. and Mrs. Friar," the DJ announces just as Lucas and Riley enter the ballroom. Applause and cheers fill the room and smiles escape from both of their mouths. The same smiles that have been on their faces all day.

Lucas feels like he is on top of the world and nothing can bring him down. He just married the love of his life. He wasn't sure this day would ever come, not when he stupidly pushed Riley away during their junior year of college. They spent the rest of college apart, and they probably would have spent more years apart if it wasn't for their meddling friends.

Now, just a few months after them rekindling they are married, and Lucas knows this is exactly where he belongs. Lucas turns his head slightly to look at Riley, and all he can see is her. Everything around her disappears and the noise fades away. She looks at him smiling, and he swears his heart stops. He is pulled back to reality when people greet them with congratulations.

Riley and Lucas move around the room talking to friends and family while music fills the room. Lucas steals glances at his beautiful bride as they move around, and the clippity clop of his heart doesn't seem to go away. If this is how he is going to feel for the rest of his life, he is perfectly fine with that.

The two bounce from group to group talking to everyone. They steal kisses from each other, and Lucas can't wipe the smile off his face. The wedding is in full swing. Riley and Lucas cut their wedding cake and smear the icing all over each other's faces and play a couple wedding game. Maya gives a speech with her being the maid of honor, and Farkle and Zay give a speech together since they share the role of best man because Lucas couldn't choose.

The wedding continues with Riley and Cory sharing a father daughter dance, and Lucas shares a dance with his mother; and this is followed by more dancing by everyone. When it comes time for Riley to throw bouquet into the sea of ladies, Maya pushes her way through the crowd making sure she was the one catching it. This comes solely from Maya's competitive nature.

Lucas throws the garter into the circle of gentlemen, and it lands into Josh's hands. Maya tries to work her way out of the dance she and Josh must share, per Riley's request, but to no prevail. Lucas knowingly smirks at Riley.

"Is this of your doing?" he questions as he looks out on the dance floor, and then returns his gaze back to Riley.

"No, this is the universe's doing. They can't avoid each other forever," she smiles as she looks at Josh and Maya who move in sync.

"And why are they avoiding each other?"

"Just a misunderstanding and lack of communication."

Lucas laughs, "Sounds familiar," he teases referring to himself and Riley. He turns his attention back to the dance floor just as he sees Josh brushing hair out of Maya's face tucking it behind her ear. He can see the blush rush to Maya's cheek from where he is standing. He hears a small squeal come from Riley and refocuses his attention to her.

A wide smile takes over her face. "The universe does know what it's doing," Riley whispers to herself. Lucas hears and gives a light chuckle before placing a soft kiss on her cheek.

"You, Riley Friar, are too adorable," he says just as the song ends.

"I'll be right back. I have to go get details from my peaches." Lucas smiles at her eagerness.

He watches as Riley approaches Josh and Maya, and instantly pulls Maya away to the side to talk. He can see all the excitement she has as he sees her bounce on her balls of her feet.

"So, where is my daughter?" Cory asks walking up from behind Lucas startling him just a bit.

Lucas pulls his attention away from Riley and turns to face him. "She's over there talking to Maya."

"I assume about the dance that just happened between Maya and Josh." Cory smile, and Lucas nods. Cory takes a deep breath looking over to Riley and back to Lucas. "She isn't going to need me anymore."

Lucas looks at Cory, "Sir-"

Cory holds up a finger stopping him, "I'm not going to be the one she calls when something is wrong in her house or if her car is making a funny noise," he stares out towards Riley. "She has you for all that," he looks at Lucas. "Do you know the reason why I was so scared of when you first arrived?"

"Because you were intimidated by me, sir."

Cory laughs, "I was, but it was more than that. Here you were new in town, and when you walked into my classroom that day Riley's face brightened at the sight of you. I watched as the two of you grew closer and closer as each day passed. I heard you sneak into her room late at night," Lucas' eyes widen and Cory laughs. "I bet you thought I didn't know, but I did. I never chased you out because the smile on her face the next morning could light a whole room. But the closer you two grew, the more her heart was exposed to you. That's what scared me. That the smile that she first had when she met you, and the smile that was on her face all those mornings were going to be gone if anything ever went wrong between the two of you. You are the cause for her happiness." He sighs, "You control her happiness. You've always have."

Lucas looks to Riley who is smiling at whatever Maya is saying, and he can't help the smile that makes its way across his face. Her smile is contagious. "She's in control of mine as well. Riley means the world to me, sir."

"I know she does, and Lucas," he turns to face Cory, "I think we're passed the sir phase. You're family now, you can call me dad." Lucas smiles. Cory pulls Lucas into a hug. "You take good care of my little girl. I'm trusting you with your heart, don't make me regret it," Cory says pulling away.

"I wouldn't dream of ever hurting her. I can never apologize enough for the time I did."

"That's in the past. Look where the two of you are at now, you're wedding day. Riley forgave you, and so did I."

Someone clearing their throat pulls them out of their moment. They both turn their heads to see Topanga standing their smiling at their encounter. She steps next to Cory, and he wraps his arm around her.

"It's nice to see you not chasing him away," she says to Cory.

"Turns out he's here to stay," Cory says making the three of them laugh.

"I'm so happy for you and Riley, and we're happy to finally have you part of the family," she steps forward embracing Lucas into a hug. "You take good care of her here in Texas, you understand me?" her voice cracks a little.

"Yes, ma'am," Lucas says.

"None of that. You call me mom. You've been apart of our lives for years now we knew this day was going to come no matter what the two of you have been through." Topanga clears her throat trying to push back the tears of joy. "So, you and Riley haven't had you're first dance yet, but I talked to the DJ about that," Topanga informs Lucas.

"Thank you."

"Excuse me if I can have your attention," the DJ says into the microphone. "It's time for the bride and groom's first dance as husband and wife, so if we can clear the dance floor," he announces. Lucas and Riley exchange looks from across the dance floor and meet each other in the middle.

Lucas wraps his arms around Riley's waist, and Riley wraps her arm around his neck as they sway to the music. Lucas instantly recognizes the look on Riley's face and knows she needs to talk.

He laughs, "You can go ahead and spill."

She lets out a deep sigh. "The universe is amazing did you know that? Everything is going to be okay between them, going to take work obviously, but that's the most they've talked in months; so it's a start."

The two continue to move as one, enjoying being wrapped in each other's arms. "Have I told you how beautiful you look?" Lucas smiles coyly at her.

A flush of color rushes to Riley's cheek, and Lucas' smile widens. He loves that he still has that effect on her. "Only about a hundred times, but I'll never get tired of hearing it."

"And I'll never get tired of saying it," he presses his lips against hers.

Lucas and Riley are so focused on one another that they don't realize when that the rest of the wedding party along with their parents have joined them on dance floor.

"Are you ready to start our new life together?" Lucas asks through his smile.

Riley giggles. "Of course, I am. There is no other person I would rather spend it with."

"And you're absolutely positive about moving here, to Texas?"

She nods, "I am. You have job offers lined up at clinics here, and I have a job interviews at two different high school. Our life starts here. Plus, I know you miss living here."

"But what about you? New York is your home."

"Lucas," Riley cups his face, "my home is wherever you are." Lucas doesn't hesitate for a second to close the gap between their lips.

When the song finally finishes, their friends and family break into an applause. Lucas and Riley pull away from each other, but they hold onto each other's hand.

"So, are you ready?" Riley asks, and Lucas nods. He can feel his palms start to sweat. He wipes his free hand against his pants. "It's be okay. I'll be up there with you," Riley smiles at him, and Lucas smiles back nervously. He looks over to the DJ giving him a signal. Lucas pulls Riley behind him as they walk closer to the stage. The DJ hands one microphone to Lucas, who passes it to Riley. He can fill his heart pounding and the nerves building in the pit of his stomach.

"Well, I just got a sign from the groom," the DJ voice fills the air. "He and the bride have a real treat for all of you tonight," the DJ passes the microphone he was just speaking into to Lucas.

"Are you two ready?" the DJ ask the newlyweds. Lucas is having second thoughts, but he looks over to Riley. His eyes lock onto her beautiful brown ones, and she smiles. She gives his hand a reassuring squeeze and just like that any doubt he had flushes away. He nods at the DJ, and Lucas and Riley walk to opposite sides of the stage.

The music starts, and Lucas takes a deep breath before turning around and starting.

Listen baby, ain't no mountain high,
Ain't no valley low, ain't no river wide enough baby

He sings taking a step forward. His voice is a little shaky. The sound of his friends and family cheering makes him more nervous. He looks at Riley who hasn't stopped smiling at him. She takes a step forward holding up the microphone close to her mouth.

(Just a note, with double music notes is when they sing together. I didn't know how else to show that.)

If you need me call me no matter where you are,
No matter how far
.

His smile grows at the sound of her voice. He loves when she sings.

Don't worry baby

Just call my name; I'll be there in a hurry
You don't have to worry,

Lucas reaches for Riley's hand, and he instantly feels more relaxed.

'Cause ain't no mountain high enough,
Ain't no valley low enough,
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you babe

They sing together as they gaze into each other's eyes. Lucas slowly pulls away from Riley, but their eyes stay locked. He feels himself letting go becoming comfortable; having fun.

Remember the day I set you free
I told you could always count on me darling
From that day on, I made a vow,
I'll be there when you want me,
Some way, some how

'Cause ain't no mountain high enough,
Ain't no valley low enough,
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you babe

Riley steps closer to Lucas, a smile spread from ear to ear on her face.

Oh no darling

No wind, no rain
Or winters cold can stop me baby,

No, no baby

'Cause you are my goal

Riley grabs Lucas' hands, and he twirls her around. A small giggle escapes from her.

If you're ever in trouble;
I'll be there on the double
Just send for me, oh baby, ha

My love is alive
Way down in my heart
Although we are miles apart


If you ever need a helping hand,
I'll be there on the double
Just as fast as I can
Don't you know that there

Ain't no mountain high enough,
Ain't no valley low enough,
Ain't no river wide enough

Lucas pulls Riley in wrapping his free hand around Riley's waist holding her against his chest. She wraps her arm around his neck.

To keep me from getting to you babe
Don'tcha know that there


Ain't no mountain high enough,
Ain't no valley low enough,
Ain't no river wide enough
Ain't mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough

The music dies down, and laughter escapes from the two of them. "You did amazing," Lucas says with his heart still racing. He can't believe he just did that.

"Me? What about you? You were amazing!" She touches her lips to Lucas'. The sound of everyone cheering finally pulls them out of their bubble.

They turn to see everyone standing and cheering for them, and Riley starts to walk towards the stairs with Lucas right behind her. They drop the microphones with the DJ on the way down. It doesn't take long for everyone to rush to their side.

"Who knew you can sing Luke," Zay jokes smacking Lucas on his back. He looks to Riley, "And you. I've heard you sing, but not like that."

"Yeah, Riles," Maya cuts in, "You sing in the shower, and in the kitchen when you think no one is around, but wow!" Maya pulls Riley into a hug. "And huckleberry, you have some chops on you too," she says pulling away from Riley.

"Your voices worked together beautifully," Smackle says wiggling her way through giving Riley a hug.

"She's right. I had no idea you guys had this planned. It was a nice surprise," Farkle says.

"Yeah, Riles. How come I didn't know?" Maya pushes.

"Same here, Lucas," Zay adds.

Lucas sighs, "We wanted it to be a surprise."

"Why that song though?" Farkle asks.

Riley and Lucas laugh. "There's this karaoke bar downtown. When Riley would come visit me while we were in college, when we were together, we would go there."

"How would you guys get it?" Zay pushes for answers.

"And how come we didn't know about this?"

"We kind of had fake IDs," Riley says with a guilty smile.

"Riley Matthews!" Maya exclaims.

"Hey, it's Friar now," Lucas corrects her.

"Anyways, we wanted it to just be something between Lucas and I," Riley continues with the explanation. "Why we chose to sing that song? I have no idea, but we did. And ever since then every time I came we went there it was the song we'd sing together."

Lucas starts laughing, "We even had a few people that told us they would walk in hoping we'd be there."

"Lucas here didn't want to do the whole karaoke thing to begin with." She nudges his side. "It took a lot of convincing and puppy dog eyes."

"But I did, and I'd do it again," Lucas smiles at Riley.

"But, why share it now? If this was something that was supposed to be just between the two of you?" Smackle asks.

Riley and Lucas look at each other and then back at their friends. "Because everyone here deserved a good show," Lucas jokes. He shakes his head, "Seriously, though if it wasn't for all of you guys and your scheming, who knows if they would have been another Riley and Lucas performance. We could have just taken you all to the bar, but we know Zay here can't help but share a good story. So, we thought why not perform it here."

"Well, this does make for a good Riley and Lucas story," Zay smiles, and they all laugh.

The rest of the night Riley and Lucas don't leave each other's side. He has never been happier, and he knows that his happiness is only going to grow from here with the future ahead of him. Lucas knows there are going to hard times ahead of them, but he knows those will be outnumbered by all the good ones.

Lucas leads Riley to the dance floor for the last song of the night, Lucas request; she's everything by Brad Paisley.

"You picked this song, didn't you?" Riley says as soon as she hears the song. Lucas nods spinning her before pulling her in. Riley lays her head on his shoulder. "You serenaded me with this song."

"I did. Our last night together before I left to Texas for college. It took me weeks to learn the lyrics and to learn how to play it on the guitar." He smiles at the memory.

"I love you, Lucas."

"I love you, too, Riley."

They continue to dance in circles to the music.

"Lucas?"

"Yes?"

"Sing to me," Riley says in a hush tone.

Lucas smiles and starts singing, and he can feel Riley smiling against his shoulder.

Every day that passes
I only love her more
Yeah, she's the one
That I'd lay down my own life for
And she's everything I ever wanted
And everything I need
She's everything to me

It was the perfect way to end the perfect night.
