"We're home!" Topanga yells opening the door for her and Rose.

Auggie and Cory look up at them before returning to the t.v.

"That's great."

"Hmm-hmm."

"Saturday cartoons always beat Mom and Rose," Rose says as she walks farther into the room.

"That's okay, I have Saturday brunch with you," Topanga replies. "Where's Riley she's usually glued to the t.v as much as the two of you are."

At that moment Riley came out of the room. "Is it okay if I go to the movies with Maya and the others."

Topanga raises an eyebrow at her. "You mean is it okay if you go on a date with Lucas?"

Cory instantly turns to face them. "No!"

Rose rolls her eyes. "When are you going to get over the fact your daughters her dating?"

"No!" Cory glares.

"It's not just Lucas and me though," Riley protests. "Farkle, Maya, Smackle, and Zay will be there too."

Rose raises an eyebrow at her. "Have you gone on a solo date with Lucas yet?" she knew the answer but was just wondering what Riley's reaction would be.

"No!"

Riley's cheek reddens. "A couple."

Rose giggles, Riley was really innocent. From what Lucas as told her they've only shared a few short, sweet kisses, nothing that should cause her face to turn as red as it those now.

"Isn't it too early to go to the movies?" Topanga asks.

"I was gonna hang out at Maya's until it was time to go," Riley looks imploring at her mother. "So can I go?"

Topanga hums, taking joy in seeing Riley squirm. "Yes, you can go."

"Yay!" Riley gives her Mom a hug before running for the door. "Bye Rose, bye Auggie, bye Dad."

Topanga chuckles, turning to Rose. "Do you have any plans for today?"

"Dad and I are teaching Auggie how to ride a bike, and then I'm going to Maddie and Charlie's to help Amelia get ready for her date with Blaec. I'm excited, I've never been to their place before. Now if you excuse me, I'm going to go change out my heels into some sneakers."

When Rose returned from her room, the t.v. was off, and Auggie was pouting on the couch. "What's going on here?"

"Auggie doesn't wanna learn how to ride a bike anymore?" Cory informs her.

"But Auggie isn't going to fry is brain my watching t.v." Topanga points out, voice stern. "Auggie his going to go outside and enjoy the nice day."

Auggie's pout deepens, and he crosses his arms.

Rose walks over and kneels down in front of him. "What's wrong, Auggie? You're never like this."

Auggie pouts into her shoulder. "I don't wanna learn to ride a bike, I'm gonna look silly."

Rose rises with him in her arms. "You say that now, but I bet when you get out there, you're gonna be riding in no time."

"No, I won't," he mutters into her neck.

"Please, Auggie. For me?"

"Fine."

Rose looks back at her Dad. "We better get out there before he changes his mind. Atlas!"

Twenty minutes later the three of them and Atlas were at the park and Cory was placing a helmet on Auggie's head. "You ready Auggie?"

Rose stood at the side, filming them.

Auggies stares at the bike fearfully. "I'm going to fall. Why do I need to know how to ride a bike anyway?"

"It's a good skill to know Auggie, it's like knowing how to swim, you never know when your gonna need it."

"You need to know how to swim so you can go to the beach," Auggie responds. "But why do you need a bike?"

"To get around, you're getting too big for Atlas to carry everywhere," Cory jokes. "Now I know you're scared to fall. And you probably will, and it might hurt. But you remember when you had trouble with soccer, you just get back up and you try again. Now let's ride."

Cory holds the small bike steady as Auggie climbed on and began to pedal. "Now I'm gonna let go and guess what?"

"I'm gonna fall, aren't I?"

"Yep," Rose replies. "But then after you fall you're not gonna be afraid to fall anymore so…"

Auggie sulks. "Fine." Cory let's go, and Auggie fell left hitting the grass, he blinks a few times. "That wasn't even scary, it didn't hurt at all. Can we try again?"

Cory and Rose share a smile. Thirty minutes later Auggie was riding his bike around the park, with confidence he didn't have previously and Atlas by his side.

"I'm gonna have to leave Atlas here when I go to college aren't I?"

Cory wraps an arm around her shoulders. "Yes, you are. How are your classes?"

Rose lays her head on his shoulder. "I'm fine, but I'm excited that we only have two more months of school left. Don't give me that look, you're just as excited to be done with school as I am."

"True. Any plans this summer that don't involve going to the other side of the world."

"Not that I know of. Anything you wanna do?"

Cory shrugs. "Maybe we can go camping. Yeah, I think we're gonna go camping this summer." Rose snorts. "What?"

"I just imagined Mom and Riley in the wilderness, sleeping in a tent."

Cory laughs. "We'll tell them we got a cabin."

"Mom'll see right through us in a second."

"Yeah. Yeah, she will."


"I can't believe you and Blaec are going on a date!" Charlotte squeals. Her, Amelia, Eloise, Imani, and Maddie were sat in her room, waiting for Rose to arrive. "I didn't think this was ever gonna happen."

"You never thought it was gonna happen? I've known her since she was eight and she's only showed interested in one guy other than Blaec, and we all know how that turned out," Eloise points out. "She's so stubborn."

"Yeah, what if this doesn't go right? Then what is Amelia going to do? They live together," Madeline notes.

Crossing her arms, Amelia snaps. "Can you girls focus! You're supposed to be helping me prepare for my date, not making me more nervous! I didn't come here so you can tease me! Where's Rose!?" Eloise peers at her. "What!?"

"You're actually nervous," Eloise realizes. She's seen Amelia in all range of emotion except for nerves. This was the girl that didn't hesitate to jump off a waterfall.

"Of course not," Amelia flips her hair back. "What reason would I have to be nervous? I mean it's just Blaec. Now, where's Rose she was to be here by now."

Fortunately for the girls Rose choice that time to come in the room. "Sorry I'm late, Auggie had a little temper tantrum about learning to ride a bike, so we took longer than I expected." she drops her bag on the bed and takes a seat beside Imani. "Charlie, Maddie, your Mom is the sweetest."

"Thanks," Charlotte smiles.

Rose smiles back and looks over at Amelia, she instantly knew she was nervous. "So have you decided on what you're gonna wear yet."

"Thank you! Somebody that knows how to focus!" the rest of the girls rolled their eyes.

"Fine, we'll stop teasing you about how bad this date could go," Imani relents. "Do you know where you're going."

"Nope," Amelia pops the "p." "He just told me to dress casually; I bought a few options and would like your opinion on it."

They went through five different options before settling on a white and black striped tee dress with a yellow pocket and white sneakers. Just had they had decided the doorbell rang.

"That's probably him now," Imani points out. "We're going to distract him, Rose you make sure she doesn't run away."

Rose salutes. "On it."

Amelia pouts. "I am not gonna run away."

"You know you got this right," Rose assures her. "I mean we all know Blaec came to America for you and convinced Beck to come with him."

"We don't know that."

"Uh-uh. We spent two week tops in Italy and on the last day he announces that he wants to attend school in New York. I wonder why?"

Amelia bites her lower lip. "You really think it's 'cause of me."

"I know it's because of you. Amelia, you're a catch if I was interested in girls, Maximo would not be in the picture."

Amelia punches her lightly on the shoulder. "You're too much. Thanks. I don't know what I would do without you."

"And I don't know what I would do without you. Let's hope we never find out. Know I think we've kept Blaec waiting long enough."

The two of them leave the room and walk to the main hall where Blaec was waiting. "You look nice."

"You don't look too bad yourself, Mr. De Luca."

"You ready?"

She takes a breath. "Yeah, I'm ready."


Amelia couldn't help but smile when they arrived at their destination. "Mini golf?"

Blaec places his hand on her back and leads her to the entrance. "You mentioned the other day that you wanted to try it."

Amelia stares at him in surprise. It was a throwaway comment that she had made during lunch one day, she didn't even think anybody heard her. "It looks like you have everything planned."

"I wanted this to be perfect for you," he pays for a game.

"I've you played before."

"Yeah. Beck and I go with our Dads all the time; next time you come to Italy I'll have to take you to MiniGolf Bardolino." he helps to situate her with her own club and golf ball. Luckily for them, the minigolf course wasn't that busy.

There is eighteen courses altogether, each one smaller and consequently more difficult than the other. The walk to the course labeled "1" with Blaec explaining the rules of the game.

"So basically I have to go through all the smaller courses, getting the ball in the hole with as few swings as possible."

Blaec nods. "Do you want me to show you how to swing the club?"

Amelia eyes the club, ball, and hole. "Nah, I think I got this."

Blaec raises his hand in mock surrender before backing up a bit, he liked Amelia but not enough to get hit in the face with a golf club. "Go for it."

Amelia shrugs and sets the ball down. She had no experience whatsoever, but she's seen enough golf on t.v and in movies. "How hard could this be?" Taking a breath, she brings the cub back and then smacks against the ball as hard as possible.

The golf ball goes flying across the air and hits an innocent passerby. Amelia gasps, horror-struck, drops the club as if it burned her.

Behind her Blaec breaks down, laughing; he laughs so hard that tears gather at the corner of his eye. Amelia's cheek redden in embarrassment. "I guess it is harder than I thought."

The poor man looks around eyes searching for the culprit, quickly Amelia hides behind a still laughing Blaec.

"Stop that he's gonna think it's me."

"Well stop laughing then! It's not funny!"

Taking a breath, Blaec clams down, his laughter turning into little snorts. "Now, do you want my help?"

"That would be much appreciated."

He snorts one last time, taking another golf ball and setting it down, he picks up her club and hands it to her. "Come here." he positions himself right behind her, placing his hands over hers. "This is how you hold a golf club. You shouldn't swing it as hard as possible, it's mini golf, the hole is right there. You just gently bring your arms back and then-"

The ball rolls down the course, straight into the hole. Amelia grins, she turns to Blaec and places a kiss on his cheek. "Thank you." it took a moment for the two of them to realize what just happened and when they did not their faces reddened.

Removing his hands, he moves slightly away from her. "Don't thank me yet. I won't go easy on you just because it's your first time."

Amelia laughs. "Oh, it's so on."

"Yes it is," he mutters and this his own golf ball is rolling down the course and into the hole.

They banter back and forth as they play, Amelia getting used to the game as they go through the course. It's been the most fun she had in awhile, by the end of the match her cheeks hurt from smiling so much. Unsurprisingly Blaec won the game.

"Good game," he says, shaking her hand.

"I don't wanna go home yet," Amelia admits. "I'm having a good time."

"We can walk around a bit," he says, entwining their hands; It fit perfectly in his.

Amelia's cheeks redden. "Okay."

Before long, they come up outside a charming restaurant.

"Hungry? Miniature golfing worked up an appetite." Blaec asks. "Looks like they're known for there…"

"For there…"

He shrugs. "I have no idea, but it'll be an adventure."

"This place looks great, and it smells good from out here so… I'm sure we

will figure out what they serve."

"Then let's do it."

The two of them head inside. A staff member near the door points them toward a cozy table near the back of the room. A few minutes after they took a seat, a waiter comes over with a steaming basket of fresh pita and two glasses of water.

"I guess you serve Greek food here?" Amelia asks the waiter.

"Yes," the waiter nods. "It's a Greek family restaurant. Now, what would you two like to order."

"Ouzo," Blaec replies confidently.

The waiter starts to write it down before pausing and looking up at him, frowning. "You don't look old enough for that, now are you ready to really order or should I come back later."

Amelia hides a smile and quickly looks over the menu. "I'll have the homemade lemonade with Stuffed Florina Roasted Pepper and the Dolmades." she looks up at Blaec. "What do you want?" when he went to open his mouth, she stops him. "That you're legal to have."

He pouts. "Okay, can I have Broiled Porgy and the Elliniko Cafe." the waiter nods and walks away from them. Blaec sticks his tongue at her. Spoilsport"

She throws a napkin at him. "I would like to eat and not be thrown out."

They two of them make small talk as they waited for their food, only stopping when their food finally arrived.

"So…"

Blaec raises an eyebrow at her. "So?"

"Are you heading back to Italy this summer?"

"I probably am. I miss my Dads and my younger sister. And I know Beck is feeling the same way we haven't seen them since January."

"Is it hard, being away from them?"

"A bit. Wherever we went, they went, and wherever they went, we went so for them to still be in Italy right now and us be in New York is difficult. But thank God for technology? Are you excited about Stella arriving?"

Amelia smiles. "I am. I'm so excited to see her every day and not have to continually go to L.A to visit her. I mean I missed so much school day I'm surprised I'm not explored yet."

He takes a sip of his "So once she's here. She's here."

"Yep. Dad as full custody of her we were just waiting until she could fly to bring her over. So soon we're gonna have a baby in the house."

"You love your sister."

"I do. I've always been the little sister, but now I have a little sister; between my Dad, Maximo, and I, she's gonna be completely spoiled."

"I bet."

Once done, Blaec paid for the meal and lead Amelia out of the restaurant by hand.

Amelia fell asleep on his shoulder on the train home, a smile on her face. When they arrived at their stop, Blaec was reluctant to wake her but knew he had no choice. They make their way out of the train and walk the short steps to their home.

"Look the lights are still on," Blaec comments staring at the window where said light was coming from.

"Probably Beck and Maximo waiting for us to get back, Dad might be up with them too."

Blaec shakes his head. "We have such nosey family members."

"Don't we," she shyly turns to him, eyelashes fluttering. "I had a great time."

"I did too."

Searching her eyes, he brought a hand up to cradle her jaw, silently asking permission. She gives a slight nod and felt her breath catch when, after a torturous long second, he kissed her, slow, and carefully. She kissed back, just as gentle, looping her arms around his neck as he slid his fingers into her hair. All the fear and anxiety she felt the last few hours seemed to disappear.


Amelia was taking her books out of her lockers when she was jumped by Charlotte, Eloise, and Imani.

"Spill," Imani demands. "We let you have Sunday to revel in your date. It's Monday, and we want information."

"Morning you Imani! Morning Eloise! Morning Charlie!" Amelia chirps back.

"It must have been a great date," Madeline observes walking over to the four girls with Rose. "You're not glaring her down for demanding something off you." she turns to Rose. "Was it?"

Rose smiles. "Can't you tell by the smile on her face."

Just like Amelia Rose couldn't stop smiling. She was just so happy for her friend, she had a feeling that Amelia and Blaec are meant to be.

"So?" Charlotte prods, poking Amelia on the cheek.

"Stop poking me you're gonna ruin my good mood," Amelia warns her 'causing Charlotte to quickly drop her finger. "And…" she cuts herself off eyes focused on Blaec who was walking towards her and the girls.

"Hey," he greets, smiling at her.

"Hey," she greets back.

The school bell rings, and he places a quick kiss on her lips. "I'll see you later."

"Okay."

The girls- excluding Rose, watch him walk away before turning back to Amelia with wide mouths.

"You girls should probably close your mouth her else a fly is going to fly in your mouth," Amelia closes her locker. "Rose wanna go to class with me?"

"It would be my pleasure," Rose agrees and the two of the leaves the other five gaping after them. Rose nudges Amelia on the shoulder. "I'm happy for you Millie."

"Thanks Rosie."
