It all happened a little over a year ago when her best friend talked her into going to a business dinner on a blind date. She wasn't very happy about it, but the place was incredible, the food was good and the company…well, it wasn't necessarily the best, but it all worked out in the end. And believe it or not, she couldn't be happier. She usually wasn't the one to get all the glorious things in life, but somehow she got the life she dreamed of and the guy she's always had a thing for. And all the other stuff didn't matter anymore. Which is why she's now in her best friend's bathroom getting primped and pampered.

"Ouch! Easy with the brush, Riles. You know my hair is difficult," she moans as she rubs down her blonde locks.

"Sorry, Peaches," her best friend smiles apologetically as she clips another section of hair up.

"Is all really necessary?" she complains, slightly stretching out her neck and back.

"Yes!" all of the other voices bellow in agreement.

"But why?" she sighs, rolling her eyes at her friends.

"Because it's not every day you have an engagement party," one friend replies.

"And marries the love of their life," another friend joins in.

"And because you're our friend and deserves a night that's all about you and your soon-to-be husband," the last friend pipes in as everyone smiles and nods their heads repeatedly.

"I'm not really used to all of this, but thank you, ladies. It means so much to have you all here and to help me celebrate this moment. You three are the best sisters a girl can ask for," she shares gratefully as she gets up and the four huddle for a hug.

"That's what friends are for, My. And besides, I think we have all been waiting for this day to come. As soon as you and Josh got together, you two were just as mushy as Riley and Lucas," their friend smirks.

"Smackle! That's not true," Maya calls out defensively. "We are not even remotely close to how Riley and Lucas act."

"Are you kidding? Just last week the two of you couldn't stop staring at each other. It got so bad we had to separate you guys," their other friend Vanessa giggles.

"Hey, Nessa. Zip it," Maya growls as she looks around and sees nothing but smiling faces. "And Riley, not a peep out of you."

"Ugh, fine," Riley sulks. "I should be upset about that comment, but I'll take it as a compliment. Now, let's finish getting ready."

Maya nods in agreement as everyone goes back to work. Almost an hour later, the girls exit the apartment and are on their way to the restaurant ready for a night of celebrations!

OoOoOoOo

Smakle texts Farkle when they arrive and as soon as the girls are out of the SUV, most of the guys are outside greeting them balloons and huge smiles.

"What's with the welcoming committee?" Maya laughs as Zay and Farkle embrace in her tight hugs.

"Honey Nugget, tonight's all about you and Josh. You get the special treatment, of course," Zay grins as he pulls her along.

"Um, yeah. I kind of figured that since it is our engagement party. And speaking of the party, where's my fiancé?" Maya wonders, a soft smile appearing on her lips as she loves the phrase 'my fiancé'.

"Your fiancé is inside with Lucas. He's been pacing around and dying to see you," Farkle answers as he and Zay pull open the double doors for the blonde who is instantly swept into strong arms.

Squealing in surprise, she lets out a girly giggle before firm lips smash onto hers and the couple shares a sweet kiss.

"Hi, baby," a deep, husky voice murmurs.

"Hi," she whispers, leaning her forehead against his. "Tonight's finally here."

"It is. And it's about damn time I get to show you off and finally celebrate," he declares with everyone cheering in the background. "So fiancée, how about we get this party started?"

"I say, heck yes!" She yells in delight as he spins her around.

"Okay everyone, please take your seats," Riley announces, motioning to the handful of tables. "Maya, Josh, you two have the small center table. Guests, there are name card on the plates. Enjoy!"

Once everyone finds their table and seats, the food is served, conversations fill the room and the guests are having a good time. Riley and Lucas are being the adorable couple they are as they share their meals with each other and feed one another bites of food. Zay and Vanessa are keeping their table entertained by sharing stories and making everyone laugh. And of course, Farkle and Smackle add their theories and statements into everyone's discussions and turn everything into something factual and educational.

Maya and Josh take in the scenes and even though it's an odd combination, they are surrounded by family and friends and it couldn't be more perfect.

OoOoOoOo

The evening carries on with wine and more stories and laughter as everyone is beyond thrilled for the couple, but also enjoying teasing and embarrassing them too. After dessert and more mingling, the crowd starts to die down. As the guest start to leave, they thank the group of friends for putting on a fantastic night and one of Maya's friends she met at an art gallery comments, "I'm so happy for the couple. They're so in love and I bet they have one of those cheesy and cliché love at first sight stories. It's so romantic."

The six friends share an amused look and then burst out in laughter.

"I'm sorry, Jenny. We didn't mean to laugh," Riley apologizes, covering her mouth as she catches her breath.

"It's just that, Maya and Josh's relationship was no fairytale," Smackle takes over and continues with that blunt answer as everyone stares at her with wide eyes.

"What are dear Smackle means is that, the two of them had a bumpy road and weren't that fond of one another growing up. But they were young, you know what I mean," Vanessa quickly responds, shifting the story to something a little more pleasant.

"Oh yeah, I totally understand," Jenny nods and then turns to face Riley. "If you don't mind me asking, why didn't they get along?"

"It's not that they didn't get along, it was more like they were opposites who clashed at every opportunity. But if you want the whole story, I'm sure Maya and Josh would be happy to share. Maya! Josh!" Riley calls out as she sings their names in a giddy tone.

"You summoned, Princess Dancing Sunshine?" Maya says coolly as she walks up right next to Riley and throws her arm over her best friend's shoulder.

Everyone looks between the smiling blonde and the perplexed brunette as Riley looks over her shoulder and whispers to her uncle, "How much did you let her drink?"

"Almost nothing. She only drank like half her flute of champagne, maybe even less and some water. That's it," Josh answers, almost as stunned as his niece.

"So, she's just in a good mood?" Lucas smirks as his girlfriend is studying her best friend.

"Apparently so," Josh shrugs his shoulders as he's got nothing else to offer.

"How damn! We've got to document this!" Zay exclaims and quickly pulls out his phone.

"Zay," Riley warns as she narrows her eyes at him and stopping his movements.

"Fine," he pouts as Farkle pats his back in comfort.

"Anyways," Josh clears his throat and changes topics. "What's up, Riles?"

"Jenny here, would love to hear your love story," Riley responds with a grin.

"Our love story?" Maya suddenly joins the conversation and then scoffs, "Jen, let me tell you. It was an awkward roller coaster ride from the very beginning."

"It wasn't that bad," Josh tries to reword. "We just had moments of uncertainty."

"Uncertainty my ass," Maya chuckles and then turns around to face her fiancé. "The first time we met, you straight up ignored me."

"Okay. First off I ignored you because you and Riley were singing some ridiculous song. And then, you made fun of my outfit. I was upset!" Josh defends, crossing his arms over his chest.

"Oh my gosh, we were seven! We had nothing better to do than sing and play! And as for your outfit, you looked like an old man. What ten year old wears something that looks like a sweater vest?" Maya recalls as the group starts to snicker.

"Apparently I did," Josh yells throwing his hands on the air. "I was probably going through a phase. But then, what about when you threw my book in the trash?"

"I was an emotional preteen you just called annoying. I was mad!" Maya justifies. "And okay, what about when I was like fourteen and you ignored me the whole time we were at the Matthews' Christmas party?"

"You were fifteen and I ignored you because you looked so damn beautiful and I couldn't control my feelings. I thought it'd be safer to just stay away," Josh grumbles, not liking the way it came out, but hell, it's the truth.

"Control your feeling? Are you saying you liked me then?" Maya presses, standing right in front of her fiancé and staring up at him.

"Maybe. I didn't exactly know what I was feeling except that, I always thought about you and it made me crazy. I talked myself out of a lot of questioning situations," Josh admits, holding his fiancée's blue eyes.

"So well you thought you could 'maybe' like me, you pushed me away and made me think that you really didn't like me?" Maya continues, tilting her head to the side and scrunching her eyebrows together.

"Well, when you put it that way, you make me sound like a dick. But I guess you're right and I'm sorry I made you think that. I was just stupid and scared. That whole thing was uncharted territory for the both of us," Josh apologizes as everyone is watching the scene unfold in disbelief.

"You can say that again. The whole idea of feelings, especially towards the opposite sex is a weird concept to grasp when you're a teenager. I'm not mad, well not anymore. I'm actually glad we met again and later in our lives. We were grown up and knew what we wanted. I think our past helped us grow into future us. And I like future us. A lot. And even though you are a difficult man, I love you. I think I always have," Maya mutters as Josh reaches for her hands.

"And even though you are a stubborn woman, I think I've always loved you too. I love you more with each passing day," he finishes as he wraps his arms around her waist and she links her fingers behind his neck and they share a loving and passionate kiss.

"Now that, that's a true love story right there," Riley whispers to Jenny who is staring at the happy couple, dabbing the corner of her eyes and nodding softly as that scene so magical.

Lucas kisses Riley's temple and wraps his arms around her waist from behind. Zay pulls Vanessa close as he wraps his arm around her shoulder. And Farkle and Smakle hold hands as they're shoulder to shoulder. The couples watch the engaged couple with beaming joy as their fairy tale wasn't quite finished yet and they couldn't be more excited to see what's to come in the near future.

Everyone has their own fairy tale and love story. It may not be like the stories you read about when you were younger, but it doesn't matter. Everyone's story is unique and beautiful. And even though you may need to rewrite it a few times, that okay. That's how life goes. But in the end, it will be your perfect story to tell.
