(A/N) PLEASE DON'T HATE ME! My Internet was down all of yesterday and I couldn't put up the new chapter! It was killing me not to post it and I felt like I let everyone down! Hopefully this chapter will make up for the late factor as it is one of my favourites. Please leave a review if you enjoyed this chapter.


Riley and Lucas were sitting at a bonfire with the rest of the crew from the 'Jumping Germans.' One girl was playing a guitar and singing a song neither of them had heard before. Lucas made s'mores next to the pit before walking over to where Riley was a few feet away.
"Yeah, you better stay out there." Lucas remarked as he past Zay sitting in a tree that had fallen over, over a river, and sat next to Riley.
"You know, we needed that money." Riley added, glancing over her shoulder at him.
"You guys got it all wrong!" Zay called, "I gave most of it back, besides that money was for love. Look, I've been traipsing all over this stinking country looking for a girl I never even met! We made goo-goo eyes from like thirty metres, but our eyes locked. We connected. Which is next to impossible in this world!" Riley looked back over her shoulder and smiled at Zay, she knew all too well what he was talking about. "You know that. You can't let a feeling like that pass you by!" He added.
"Wow." Riley whispered, nodding at Zay's words.
Lucas couldn't take his eyes of her, "You'd hug him all over again, wouldn't you?" He smirked.
Zay took the last chug of his beer before chucking it into the river, but he lost his balance and fell into the water. "I'm alright! I'm alright!" He yelled after he resurfaced.
Lucas couldn't help but laugh at how goofy this guy was, he was quite the character, and finally gave Riley her s'more. Riley glanced at him with a devilish grin on her face before peeling apart her s'more and wiping the marshmallow down Lucas' cheek and giggled.
"Just so you know, that's incredible hot." He told her which only caused Riley to laugh more.
"Oh, I'm sorry." Riley feigned sympathy before stroking his cheek to remove the marshmallow, maintaining eye contact with Lucas the whole time.
The man from earlier approached the two, and greeted them in German.
"Oh, hi. Charlie-Charlie." Riley said after tearing her eyes away from Lucas.
"Charlie-Charlie." Lucas repeated, "So much of you, they had to name you twice."
"I uh, thought you might need this." Charlie-Charlie stated before tossing a sleeping bag at Lucas.
"Thanks." Lucas remarked.
"So..." Charlie-Charlie looked back at Riley before motioning to a tent behind him and returning his attention to her, "Yes?"
"So... No." Riley shook her head, not interested in his offer. Charlie-Charlie shook his head before walking off away from the two.
"You know, for a girl who claims to be terminally alone... you sure do get a lot of offers." Lucas noted.
"And rejections." Riley added, looking at him, Lucas looked away from her. "Right... You know what? I'm tired of living my life just in theory... I think I'm gonna go talk to Charlie-Charlie." Riley stated before getting up to follow in the direction the other man went.
"Oh, come on." Lucas spat and Riley turned to look at him, "You can't seriously be attracted to that walking... oaf."
"I don't know," Riley mused, "I could kind of see myself living in the mountains raising children, little Riley's and Charlie's." Riley began walking toward Charlie-Charlie again.
"Riley, don't!" Lucas got up from where he was sitting.
"Why not?" She asked him, tired of the game they were playing.
"Because... I don't trust him." Lucas said lamely. Riley rolled her eyes and walked away from him again, "Because I don't think he's remotely good enough for you." Lucas walked after her.
"Yeah right."
"Because, up until the last three days I was perfectly content with my life of solitary adventure and then you came along and... well, you came along and those two things seemed mutually exclusive."
Riley stopped walking, "Lucas." She faced him, "Can you ever just say what you really feel?" Riley asked him desperately, Lucas looked at her, unsure of how to answer and Riley sighed before trying to walk away again.
"Okay, Alright!" Lucas finally gave in, "Because... I'm jealous as hell! Because I'd hate to see you with Charlie-Charlie- I'd hate to see you with any other man because... not only did I adore kissing you in Venice but also because," Lucas grabbed Riley and turned her to look at him, "I am so unbelievably unhinged just being near you."
Riley stared at him, searching his eyes for any trace of a lie, hoping to god he was telling the truth, she slowly moved her hand away from herself and went to reach for Lucas. Only to have him cup her face and kiss her, she reached up and placed her hand on his cheek and kissed him back. They were interrupted by Lucas' phone ringing.
"I guess you fixed it, huh?" Riley asked, pushing her hair behind her ear.
Lucas looked at the phone and then back at Riley before chucking it over his shoulder, which caused Riley to smile, "Riley..." he whispered before they resumed kissing once more.

It was the next morning and Lucas had woken up to the sound of his phone ringing in the distance, he went searching for it in only his vibe boxers. When he finally found his phone he knew he was going to be in such trouble for not answering his phone last night.
"Friar." He answered.
"Where the hell have you been?" Josh said on the other end of the phone.
"Hey listen, Matthews, she's here and she's safe." Lucas barked at him.
"Friar, we've been trying to reach you. Your orders changed."
"What are you talking about?" Lucas demanded, confused.
"I'm talking about your assignment has been over since the moment you jumped on that train to Venice." Josh informed him.
"What?" Lucas was shocked.
"Lucas?" Riley called from where she was just waking up, clutching the sleeping bag to her naked chest.
"I'll be right there." He told her, she nodded and smiled at him, "I gotta go man, I gotta go." Lucas said quieter into the phone.
"You gotta bring this girl in immediately, alright? Okay, we've got a plan."
"I promised I'd take her to the Parade." Lucas whispered urgently.
"Friar, listen to me-"
"I've got really bad reception here. I gotta-" Lucas hung up the phone.
"Who was there?" Riley asked as Lucas walked back to where she was sitting, still clutching the blanket around herself.
"Just some friends from Prague wondering where I am." Lucas told her as he crouched down in front of her. Riley nodded and then met his lips in a gentle kiss. Lucas's phone rang once more and he looked down at it before chucking it into the ashes of the bonfire.

"He's gonna take her to the parade!" Josh shouted as he threw his beanie on the ground.
"I guess we're going to the parade." Maya remarked before noting the difference in Josh and stared at him in wonder.
"What?" He asked, a slight smirk on his face. "What?"
"You did this for me, right?" She asked with a smile, noticing Josh had cut his hair.
"What this?" He formed scissors with his fingers, "What, no. I didn't do this for you. What?"
"Really?"
"No, it's uh... I got- I got tired of stylin' it, you know and-"
"Oh... Okay... It's uh... It's kinda sexy." She told him.
Josh stared at her and smiled, causing a small smile to spread across Maya's lips as well, he hesitated for a moment before leaning in and gently placing his lips on hers. Maya watched him and hesitantly kissed him back and the two seemed to lose themselves in the moment, years of tension finally being released.
Josh pulled away, "Sorry... s-sorry." As he pulled away Maya still wanted to keep kissing him and sort of fell into him before she could catch her balance. "I saw an opening so I went for it." He informed her.
Josh went to walk away but Maya grabbed his arm and stared at him, he looked back at her, in disbelief before leaning in and kissing her more confidently, bringing his hand up to cup her cheek and Maya placed her hand on his shoulder as she stood on her tiptoes. The two kissed to make up for lost time, Riley Matthews being the furthest thing from either of their minds.

Riley and Lucas sat in front of the river in the morning light, Lucas had one leg propped up as he rested his arm on it while he played with Riley's hair.
"You have cute morning hair." He said with a sweet smile on his face.
"You've got cute everything." Riley beamed before leaning in and kissing Lucas once more. "Hey, Zay!" She called over her shoulder into the tent behind them.
"Yeah?" He mumbled as he poked his head out.
"You wanna go to the Love Parade and see if your mystery girl is there?" She asked him slyly.
"Rock on!" He gave her a thumbs up.

"Sir! We just heard from Weiss, Riley and Friar are going to the Berlin Love Parade." Shawn informed Cory as he and Topanga were walking through a park.
"Get to Berlin." Cory stated as if it were obvious.
"Yes, Sir." Shawn and Eric said before taking off.


(Another A/N) Can we all agree on how awkward "Charlie-Charlie" is? Let us have a collective cringe! The original character in the movie is named "Gus-Gus" and I loved the So much of you line too much not to keep it in the story. No worries, that is the last we see of Sir. Charlie-Charlie... Major cringe!
