Chapter 12: Off We Go

Lucas and Riley had been together since the beginning of December 2014 and now it was the beginning of summer. Lucas had two plane tickets to go to Texas, and he had chosen to take Riley with him. Also, her parents and his parents were coming with Maya and Farkle. They had to be on the plane at 11:30 the next day. So, they packed for a summer in Texas.

"I can't believe that I'm going to Texas," Riley told Lucas.

"The good thing about it is that you are going to be with me," said Lucas as he leaned down to kiss her, but he was interrupted.

"And me!" Cory exclaimed.

"And your dad, mom, brother, friends, and my mom and dad," Lucas added.

"I can't wait to ride a horse," Auggie said walking into the living with his suitcase.

"Auggie, you know we are spending the whole summer in Texas, don't you?" Cory asked.

"I've got more," said Auggie as he brought two more suitcases, and then four more.

"How much stuff did you pack, Aug?" Cory asked his five year old son.

"Everything," said Auggie.

"Well, everyone has had dinner, so I guess it's time to go to sleep because we have to get an early start on tomorrow," Topanga walking into the apartment with Mrs. Friar.

"Come on Lucas, go get dressed for bed," said Carrie. The Friars were staying with the Matthews so that they could leave to go to the airport at the same time. Mr. and Mrs. Friar slept on the pullout bed and Lucas slept in Auggie's bed. Auggie slept with Topanga and Cory. Maya slept with Riley. Farkle slept on the window seat in the living room. Soon, everyone went to sleep and dreamt about what the future held for them.

The next morning, everyone rushed to get dressed and get to the airport. Riley put on a bright yellow shirt and a pair of light-colored blue jeans. Maya had on a green shirt with the words New York on the back and a pair of black jeans. Lucas put on a white t-shirt with a denim jacket and a pair of blue jeans. Farkle had on a red t-shirt and a pair of blue jeans. Everyone else threw on something. Soon, it was time to leave for the airport.

After they had put everything on the baggage claim, they all boarded the airplane. Lucas and Riley sat beside each other. Maya and Farkle sat beside each other. Cory, Topanga, and Auggie sat beside each other. Mr. and Mrs. Friar sat beside each other.

Finally, the airplane took off to Texas.
