Like Father, Like Son
Author's Note: How's it going everybody? Hope everyone is doing alright since the last chapter finished and people are a little worried for Aaron's safety but have no fear, he has great friends at his side! All he needs to do is find the Meyer Girls and explain his side of the story. How bad can a simple explanation be right?

September 2037
"Ok guys, do any of you know any of the Meyers?" Aaron asked Ruben and Stephen making his way to Science Class.
"Well I'm in the same class as Joanna during second and third period." Stephen told his friends.
"Perfect, you think you can talk to her asking if she would meet with me?" Aaron asked him.
"Aaron if you wanna meet with Joanna, it has to be after school, if you are discovered here talking to Joanna, you're asking for trouble. The Meyer kids are very popular around here." Ruben warned him as he got the inside scoop on the scene at John Adams High.
"And your point is?" Aaron asked Ruben not seeing his point.
"Aaron, it means she's got plenty of backup!" Stephen answered for Aaron.
"So? I'm Lucas Frair's son!" Aaron told Stephen.
"Dude, that doesn't matter here! Lots of people won't care if you're Lucas Friar's son, all what matters is what you did to Joanna on Saturday night. You got a target on your back my dude." Stephen told Aaron knowing what really matters at the current moment.
"Shit!" Aaron groaned punching a brick wall not doing much damage to his knuckles.
"LANGUAGE!" Riley yelled to her son from down the hall recognizing his voice from anywhere.
"How does she do that?" Ruben wondered asking Aaron.
"I don't know. It's like she knows what I'm thinking of." Aaron told them.
"Well you are her son." Stephen said as they went back to business.
"So Stephen, you'll talk to Joanna about me and possibly arrange a get together?" Aaron asked his friend wanting to go over the plan.
"Yup! But where though?" Stephen confirmed and then asked him.
"Well there's no way she can come over to your house nor you can come over to her place." Ruben said to Aaron knowing if Aaron went to Joanna's house, Aaron would get jumped and if the meeting was at Aaron's house, Joanna most certainly would not go.
"Ya no kidding genius!" Aaron said being sarcastic.
"Ok then let's assess what we got to work with. You're grounded for the next month, you're in a lot of trouble with High School's elite, and you're in a 1 vs all mentality. If this conversation between you and Joanna was to take place, we might as well have it at Topanga's since you are working there and it is where you got backup in case things go south." Stephen recommended to Aaron.
"Perfect! We'll have our talk there, I can talk to her during my lunch break. Ok then, we'll have the meeting at 5:30." Aaron told Stephen and Ruben as they nodded their heads in agreement.
"Then it's settled." Stephen said bringing the meeting to a close as they went to their respective classes. As Aaron was making his way to his locker to grab a pair of his Friar 5's from his father's sponsor: Under Armour he couldn't help but noticed that people were looking at him in the wrong way, Aaron may have a Karate black belt thanks to being trained by Lucas, but he knew that it would just be a matter of time until the numbers game caught up to him. He made his way to Gym class using his kinesthetic awareness to be aware of his surroundings at all times as nobody attempted to jump Aaron. All of this bad attention on Aaron didn't matter to him as now he had his friends and most importantly Chloe on his side again. Gym class went very smoothly as Mr. Arsenault was very impressed with Aaron's athletic abilities and recommended him to tryout for the junior basketball team next month. Aaron was hopefully that by that point his grounding would be over.
"Hey Aaron!" Chloe called out to him from down the hall as Aaron emerged from the change room.
"Hey Chloe. What's up?" Aaron greeted her as she caught up to him.
"So, I couldn't help but watch you playing ball against the other guys and I gotta say, you really are Lucas Friar's son!" Chloe told Aaron complementing him.
"Thanks Chloe!" Aaron said appreciating her comment as his face lit up like a Christmas Tree recognizing what Chloe told him.
"Aaron, I really hope you're no longer grounded by the time tryouts come around, you'd do very well!" Chloe told the possible 2nd generation NBA player.
"We'll see Chloe, but right now my biggest worry is having the Meyer's and whoever their friends are on my back and having to have eyes on the back of my head." Aaron told Chloe as he took a look around bring aware of his surroundings.
"Aaron, you need to relax! It's not like you're gonna get jumped in the halls besides they would be caught on camera and they would also have to answer to the teachers who are just down the hall!" Chloe told Aaron as she pointed to the teachers who were on lunch duty one of them being Maya.
"Ya I guess you're right, besides Maya of the teachers I know is the one you never mess with." Aaron told Chloe.
"Why is that?" Chloe wondered.
"Because she still has a bit of a temper and she may not seem like it but she's tough. Apparently according to my mom she was even more fierce when she was our age." Aaron told Chloe as they began walking together as they walked to their lockers on the 2nd floor as they put their gym clothes in their locker. They went back to the main floor and got something to eat in the cafeteria where Stephen and Ruben were waiting for them.
"So Stephen, any updates?" Aaron asked Stephen who looked like he was nervous as he was playing with his hands.
"Yeah, just prepare yourself though." Stephen told Aaron.
"Bring it, not like things are already terrible." Aaron said disregarding any other possibilities.
"Joanna Meyer is going to show up…But she won't be alone. Paulina Meyer will be there and her boyfriend who is the best basketball player in the school: Darren Durant the guy is currently ranked number 4 in the state so he's got some backup with him so please Aaron, choose your words carefully when you talk to Joanna." Stephen told Aaron giving him a quick briefing of what'll happen at the get together with Joanna and now Paulina Meyer and Darren Durant in the conversation with her.
"Let me guess they don't trust me with her alone don't they?" Aaron asked Stephen. Stephen could only nod his head.
"Shit, well ok then. If that's how they wanna do things, then fine by me. It's on." Aaron told Stephen.
"Listen dude, Stephen and I agreed that we'll be at the bakery too I don't trust the Meyers they're probably one of the most popular families in the school and have influence so we may need some help on this." Ruben recommended.
"I agree, but last time I checked it's pretty much us against practically all of the popular people in school." Aaron told his friends.
"Why don't you get some of your dad's teammates in on this man?" Stephen suggested.
"Well dad and Uncle Zay will be there that's for sure." Aaron said before he was cut off.
"Wait, Isiah "Zay" Babineaux is your uncle?!" Chloe exclaimed.
"Yeah he is. Are you like a basketball fan or something?" Aaron said chuckling as he asked Chloe.
"Yeah! Basketball was the reason Chris and I got together after I made a shot over him from 25 feet away from the basket." Chloe told Aaron remembering how Chris and Chloe's relationship began.
"Damn! Ok Chloe Miss Sharpshooter!" Aaron exclaimed impressed with Chloe's shooting skills.
"I guess I got it from my father whoever it is, my mom told me one time that my dad was very good at basketball." Chloe told her friends remembering a story Sarah once told her likely when she was still a child.
"Well your dad should be proud if he ever saw you playing ball." Aaron said encouraging Chloe as he wrapped his long left arm around her shoulder.
"Yeah Chloe, any parent would be proud of their kids doing the things they enjoy and doing well at it." Stephen said being supportive.
"Thanks guys." Chloe said being appreciative of Aaron's and Stephen's support.
"Hey guys listen junior guy's and girl's tryouts are next month, why don't you two tryout?" Ruben suggested.
"That's a great idea, hopefully I make the junior guys team while Chloe makes the junior girls team." Aaron said being optimistic.
"I'm in." Chloe said after thinking about the idea very quickly.
"Well that settles it, in one month we tryout." Aaron said agreeing to tryout.
"But dude, you're grounded remember?" Ruben told Aaron knowing Aaron is grounded.
"Well I can talk to my dad about it since he knows how much basketball is important to us so hopefully he can allow me to tryout." Aaron hoped to his friends.
"And if he says no?" Ruben asked wanting to hear Aaron's backup plan if he has any.
"Then, I'll still tryout regardless under my parent's nose." Aaron said willing to disobey his parents.
"Wait, you rebellious?" Stephen asked having never seen this side of Aaron before.
"Might as well, YOLO!" Aaron said as Ruben, Stephen, and Chloe looked at each other not knowing what Aaron just said.
"Dude, what the fuck did you just say?" Ruben asked Aaron looking confused like Stephen and Chloe.
"YOLO means You Only Live Once! You guys never heard of it?" Aaron asked as his friends were still confused.
"Man you guys need to talk to your folks more." Aaron said showing off his relationship with his parents. The rest of lunch was time spent on planning on the conversation as Stephen left early to tell Joanna that Aaron agreed to the terms and the sit down was on. However Aaron still needed to watch his back he still didn't know if a target was on his back. The day ended as Aaron walked out of John Adams watching his back as he walked home with Ruben, Stephen, and Chloe. But as usual he picked up Natalie and Troy from John Quincy Adams Middle School as they were joined by Anthony and Tyler Babineaux and Melanie and Sabrina Minkus. The family was together walking home. Aaron had little time to rest as he soon got ready to work at the bakery after he walked Chloe to her apartment. Once at the bakery, it was business as usual but he was also playing the waiting game, waiting for the Meyers and Darren Durant.
Author's Note: And that ends another chapter of Like Father, Like Son! I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter as the family is getting stronger and likely will rally behind Aaron in case things go down at the bakery. Remember, since Lucas and Riley both did Karate, it was natural for them to teach it to their children in case they needed to protect themselves. Next time on Like Father, Like Son...The talk at the Bakery, how will Aaron handle some of the most popular teens at school? And will Aaron be forgiven by Joanna? Find out next time! And before I forget, I am accepting Original Characters (OCs) for Lucas' and Zay's teammates. I am looking for 5 and these guys will play a big role in Lucas' and Zay's career! Please don't forget to leave a review or follow and favorite this fanfic I love hearing from you guys and I hope to hear from you guys soon! Take care you guys I hope you guys have a great week ahead of you and do good in this world! :)
Let's Talk!
4ne1: You will also see Aaron talk to Lucas about trying out for the junior team and his answer, Aaron also has escaped from being jumped for now. Until he's in good graces with Joanna and the Meyers, he still likely has a target on his back. But still Coldplay, Beyonce and Bruno Mars is still pretty damn good I say! :)
James Stryker: Bang Bang Bang! Right on the money with the Boy Meets World reference! So far Aaron has escaped danger's hands, but he won't be able to dodge it forever...
Shin-X 25: So far he's doing ok, hopefully cooler heads will prevail in their sit down and he's got good friends in Ruben, Stephen, Chloe and likely John Hunter will appear in the next chapter!
