"Oh no." Shawn groans jokingly as he opens the door to see Andrew there. He lets Andrew in and smiles at the young man. "What's up? You do know Maya's grounded, right?"

"Yeah. She is, but I'm not." Andrew smirks. "Do you mind if I see her? I came over to teach her sign language like every other weekend." He explains to the girl's father.

"Sign language?" Shawn questions further, shutting the door behind him. He turns and faces him, shoving his hands into his pockets. Katy walks into the room and Andrew immediately notices a small bump forming where her flat stomach used to be.

"Hi, Andrew." Katy smiles at the boy. "How are you?"

"I'm good, Mrs. Hunter. You?"

"I'm fine." Katy answers. She glances at her growing stomach. "The little one here keeps getting me sick, but it's worth it."

"You're carrying Shawn's baby!" Maya is heard from her room. "What did you expect?" Her joke makes Shawn role his eyes. Andrew smiles at the couple. "Well, congratulations. Do you know if it's a boy or a girl yet?"

"Not yet." Shawn answers as he now stands behind Katy, his hands on her shoulders. "Going to the doctor in a few weeks."

Andrew nods and Maya appears out of her room. "Hey." She grins, walking up to him and hugging him tightly. Her embrace is warm and loving and he can't help but melt into it. His arms are strong around her, protective, and she loves the feeling of it. He rests his head against hers and they both close their eyes as they enjoy the moment.

Maya had to admit. She liked Andrew, a lot, but she didn't know if it was romantic and maybe she had just been romanticizing this whole scenario and now her imagination was getting to her.

Their little moment however, is interrupted by a loud throat clearing coming from Shawn. The two teenagers slowly turn and look to see Shawn and Katy stills standing there, awkwardly.

"Are you staying for dinner, Andrew?" Katy smiles, trying to ease the tension.

"Oh, no, I'm sorry I can't." Andrew answers, much to Maya's disappointment. "I promised Arnie I'd take him to see the firework show they're having down town tonight."

"Arnie?" Katy says, walking to the kitchen and grabbing things out of the fridge. "Who's Arnie, Andrew?"

"Arnie's my little brother, Mrs. Hunter." Andrew says proudly. "He has a little crush on Maya." His teasing makes Maya blush and Maya can't help but smile a little.

Arnie was really sweet, and Maya looked at him like he was her own little brother. She'd protect him no matter what and she was sure Andrew and his mother felt the same. Maya had taken a good lead with Andrew's mother too. Every time she'd come over to Andrew's house, Mrs. Hannigan would always have some sort of dessert ready and she'd always talk to Maya without signing because she knew how Maya was just beginning. Maya thought that was pretty incredible in all its own.

"Oh really." Shawn smiles at the pair. "I'm guessing he's not the only Hannigan who has a crush on a Hunter?" Maya feels her face heat up and she wants to tell Shawn to shut up, if she was being completely honest with herself.

"Well," Maya says rather eagerly. "We better get studying -"

"What's the rush?" Shawn smirks. "Why don't we talk some more? I want to get to know Andrew more." Maya could see right through Shawn and she wasn't liking it. Andrew didn't seemed phased by this either, which she found strange. "I'm sure Andrew wouldn't mind getting to know us, now would he?"

"Not at all, sir." Andrew grins.

"Great!"

"No!" Maya hissed through her teeth. "Dad, stop."

"Alright," Shawn grins once again. Maya finds herself facepalming and she wanted to smack Shawn at the moment. Things couldn't get more awkward.


"Here's to the past, they can kiss my glass." Lucas sang along to the country song by Joe Nichols. "I hope she's happy with him. Here's to the girl who wrecked my world. That angel who did me in. I think the Devil drives a Coupe De Ville. I watched them drive away over the hill, not against her will. I got time to kill. Down in Brokenheartsville."

He was on his way to pick up Riley for the fireworks show they were holding in the city later that night.

He knocks on the door and Auggie opens it. "Hey!" He smiles at him. "Are you here for Riley?"

"Yep, little buddy." Lucas answers. "Is she home?"

Riley suddenly appears behind Auggie and smiles. "Lucas!" She can't contain her excitement once she spots him. She runs into his arms and he stumbles back slightly at the force of which she puts behind the hug.

Topanga and Cory stand by Auggie, watching their daughter hug her boyfriend tightly. Cory feels his stomach drop at the sight of the huge smile on Riley's face. Finally, they break apart and the younger couple turn to face their parents.

"Well, we're going now." Riley smiles.

"Be safe you two." Topanga smiles.

"And have her back by eleven!" Cory hollars as the shy couple head off into the night.

Lucas and Riley walk hand and hand, looking into the night sky, and among the other people gathering around to see the fireworks, which were due to go off in two hours.

"This is a great spot!" Riley says excitedly as they sit on a lawn of green plush grass. They sit close, shoulders lightly touching, and they stare up into the black sky.

"So," Lucas says. "This is the only time we're going to be able to do this."

Riley looks at it, confused. "What do you mean?"

Lucas leans back on his elbows and sighs. "Riley, we're going to college in a year. Exactly a year." He begins to explain. "Once we go to college we'll barely have time to do any of this stuff anymore." Riley frowns at him, disappointed. "I'm sorry, Riles. It's just . . . I'm going to miss all of this."

Riley sighs and leans back on her elbows too. "Yeah . . . Me too." She pauses a second. "We're still going to the same college, right?"

"Of course, Riley." Lucas slowly sits up. "Why wouldn't we?"

"I don't know." Riley says. "A lot of things can change throughout a year." She feels her cheeks get hot as she stares deep into his eyes.

"I know one thing that's not going to change." Lucas says. Riley watches as he slowly closes his eyes and he starts to lean in.

Their lips press together in an innocent fashion, but it's one with the heat and passion of a burning candle. Riley feels her eyes close slowly and she accepts the kiss. She feels his hand come and cup her face and then she feels Lucas pull back slowly.

Riley licks her lips slowly. "Whoah."

Lucas chuckles at his girlfriend. "Whoah."

"So," Riley smiles. "What's the one thing that's never going to change this year?"

This is when Riley starts to get slightly frightened. Lucas becomes serious and he sits up and he stares down at her. "How I feel about you." Riley stares at him, blushing madly and she slowly sits up, both of them staring at each other. "I love you, Riley Matthews."

Riley freezes at those words and she feels the blush being replaced by a cold feeling of paleness. She slowly stands up, much to Lucas' confusion. "I - I have to go." She says, before running off of the lawn and out of sight.


"Alright, buddy. Let's find a good seat." Andrew tells Arnie as he holds his brother's hand excitedly. Maya, Shawn, and Katy followed behind them quietly. Andrew invited the Hunters to tag along and Maya was more willing to go. "This is going to be great - Be you have to behave, understand?"

Arnie nods his head and looks back at Maya, Shawn, and Katy. "Come hold my hand, Maya! Come hold my hand!" Maya smiles a little at the boy and quickly walks over to Arnie and Andrew. She takes his other hand, the one that wasn't occupied by Andrew, and she smiles at the boy. "We're gonna see fireworks!" Arnie shouts into the sky, now overly excited. "We're gonna see fireworks!"

"Yeah, buddy." Maya smiles, holding onto his hand. "We're going to see fireworks."

Behind them, Shawn looks towards the three of them. Katy notices and squeezes his hand lightly and gives him a small smile. He looks towards her and then back to where Maya, Arnie, and Andrew walked.

"They're gonna have blue and red - I like red! Red! Red!" Arnie chants as they reach the green lawn, now almost crowded with people. "Red!"

Andrew and Maya have a seat next to each other while Arnie sits a little bit in front of them. Shawn helps Katy sit down a little ways away from the teenagers and he sits behind her. He wraps his arms around her and rests his chin against Katy's head and they wait for the firework show to begin.

Maya feels the familiar feeling of Arnie's hand messing with her long hair and she just laughs while Andrew sort of blushes. "Maya has pretty hair, Andrew!" Arnie grins. He takes his older brother's hand in his and places it on top of Maya's head, to which Andrew yanks his hand away. "Feel her hair Andy!"

"Bud, I don't think that's such a good idea." Andrew said, feeling his cheeks get hot. He looks around and then feels someone tap on his shoulder. He turns his head around and sees his mother standing there in her summer best and she smiles brightly.

"Mommy!" Arnie says, running to his mother's embrace. "Why are you here?"

"Mommy . . . Wanted . . . To . . . Watch . . . Fireworks." Mrs. Hannigan says, glancing down at her youngest, stroking his hair lightly. Mrs. Hannigan spots Maya and she smiles brightly. "Maya!"

Maya smiles and walks to Mrs. Hannigan, Andrew slowly standing and shoving his hands in his pockets, and she starts to try her best to sign. "Hi, Mrs. Hannigan. How are you?"

Shawn and Katy seem to take notice to the new addition to the group and they walk over to her slowly and cautiously. Mrs. Hannigan smiles as she spots the couple. She starts signing, catching Shawn and Katy off guard, and Andrew soon steps in.

"Mr. and Mrs. Hunter," He says signing while he speaks. "This is my mother, Sally Hannigan." Andrew watches as his mother signs more. "She says that it's nice to finally meet you. Maya is a very sweet girl."

"Thank you." Katy answers, smiling. "It's nice to meet you, Sally. I'm Katy and this is my husband, Shawn." Katy is a little thrown off by Andrew signing to his mother what she was saying, but she let it slide.

Sally nods and Arnie tugs on her shirt sleeve. "Mom, are we gonna watch fireworks with us? Are you, Mommy? Are you?" Sally smiles brightly and nods.

Andrew and Maya watch as Arnie and Sally take a seat and Shawn and Katy go back to their spot. The time was ticking down to when the fireworks would start and as Andrew looked around, he saw Lucas sulking in the grass a few feet away. Andrew starts off towards his friend and Maya follows quickly.

"Lucas?" Andrew asks. "Where's Riley buddy? Aren't you two supposed to be on a date."

"She took off." Lucas says, his voice cracking. Maya feels her heart skip a beat.

"Where?" Maya demands. Lucas only points and she starts to head off, but Andrew catches her arm. "What are you doing, Andrew?! Let me go, she's my best friend and I'm not gonna let her get hurt!"

Andrew stares at her, as if wanting to fight her on this, but he sighs. "Be careful." He lets her go and she's off into the streets of New York.

She doesn't get that far when she spots Riley through the Nighthawk Diner, sitting at a booth. Maya sighs loudly and walks into the diner, taking a seat across her best friend.

"Maya?" Riley chokes. "What are you doing here?"

"I'd like to ask you the same thing." Maya folds her hands and looks at her best friend and sighs once more. "Riles, what are you doing here? Andrew and I ran into Lucas and he seemed pretty upset. What happened?"

Riles looks down at her mug, which Maya just realized she had, and her eyes then flash towards her blonde friend. "Maya . . . Lucas said that he loved me." Maya looks at the brunette confused.

"Okay, so what's the problem? Don't you love him back?"

Riley just stares at her plate, unsure of how to answer. "I don't know anymore. I mean, what do you say to someone when they tell you they love you?"

"Usually," Maya leans back against the booth. "They say I love you back, but I can see that's not the case here." She leans forward again. "Riles, don't feel too bad about it. If you're not sure and you need to think things over, that's okay. But, you might want to go and tell him that you need time to think about it instead of just leaving him hanging."

Riley sighs defeated. "You're right."


"I don't get it." Lucas frowns. "I tell her what I was feeling and she doesn't even say anything and she runs away?"

Andrew looks at his friend and sighs. "Maybe she didn't know what to say . . . I wouldn't let it get to you too bad though. You have nothing to apologize for. You told her how you felt, the honest truth, and that's all that matters. Trust is one of the key things in a relationship -"

"But she could've trusted me enough to tell me how she feels instead of just running off. I be honest with her and then she runs for the hills -"

"Who's says run for the hills?"

Lucas is silent and second and runs his fingers through his hair. "I just don't know anymore, Andy."

Andrew looks at his friend and pats him on the back. "I know."

The two see two figures walk over to them and see that it's Maya and Riley. The boys both stand up and they stare down at the two girls. "Can I talk to you for a minute?" Riley asks, looking up at Lucas. He nods and they walk off towards the sidewalk of the streets, leaving Maya and Andrew there.

"Lucas." Riley begins. "I'm sorry I ran away."

Lucas sighs. "It's alright. I'm just glad you're not hurt." He becomes fearful when Riley just stares at him, tears in her eyes. "What' the matter, Riles?"

"I think . . ." Riley feels her throat getting tighter with every breath and she feels her stomach drop to the sidewalk. "I think we need some time apart . . . I need to think things over right now, and . . . It's over . . . Goodbye." She quickly stands on her toes and gives him a kiss on the cheek before she hurries away down the sidewalk. Lucas feels his heart drop all the way to the sidewalk and he hears it shatter on the concrete. He slowly turns and watches as the girl he loves walks home.

However, what he doesn't see is Riley bring her hand to her mouth and her shutting her eyes tightly. Hot, thick, unforgivable tears fall down her face and she feels her face get red hot as she tries to contain the sobs threatening to pass through her lips. When she's home, she quickly rushes to her room and shuts the door so loud that Auggie, Topanga, and Cory are woken up.

"Riley?" Topanga was heard through her bedroom door. "Sweetie, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, Mom." Riley sniffs, trying to get her voice to sound normal. "I'm fine."

"Riley -"

"Go away."

Topanga backs off and looks to Cory, who's frowning. "What do you think happened?" Topanga frowns.

"I don't know . . . It's best right now if we just keep an eye on her and leave her alone. She'll talk about it when she's ready to." Cory sighs. "Let's get back to bed."


Meanwhile, Maya and Andrew watch as Lucas heads home. "Should we go after him?" Maya asks.

"I really don't think he want to talk to anyone right now, Maya." Andrew sighs. Suddenly, a loud boom goes off and fireworks start to light up the sky. Maya and Andrew turn and see the bright colors flash before their eyes.

"Wow." Maya says. "They're beautiful."

"Just like you." Andrew smiles, his cheeks hot. Maya looks at him a giggles.

"You're a dork, Andrew." Maya watches as Andrew steps closer. "A huge dork."

Andrew just laughs. "Yeah, I am." His voice is soft and quiet and Maya starts to notice that they're chests are touching. She doesn't have time to think before she feels his lips moving against hers. In this moment, she doesn't think. She just lets herself do what she wants.

Her arms wrap around his neck and his arms are wrapped around her shoulders and lower back, holding her close. Her blonde hair blows in the wind slightly and to bystanders it looked like a scene from a movie.

As Katy and Shawn watch the fireworks, he looks around for Maya and his heart stops. "K - K - Katy!" He reaches out for his wife to try and balance himself. Was he seeing things or was this actually happening. Katy looks and sees what Shawn was looking at and feels a joyful feeling come over her.

"Aw -"

"No!" Shawn protests. "Not 'aw!' That my baby!" He starts to head towards Maya and Andrew, but Katy yanks him back down to the ground and shakes her head no. "Katy -"

"Oh, let them be together for now. Besides," Katy grins. "I want a kiss too." She leans in and presses her lips to her husbands and she feels him smirk, forgetting that their daughter was kissing another teenager about fifteen feet away.

"Your hormones are so out of control." Shawn says. "I'm gonna kill him." He jokes before pressing his lips back to hers.

P.S. The song is Brokenheartsville by Joe Nichols and I do not own it. I've been obsessed with that song and so I wanted to include it in the story. Also, I can't remember if I gave Mrs. Hannigan a first name, but if not it is Sally. If I have can someone please tell me. I'm sorry I'm such an airhead. Apologies.
