Girl Meets Emergency
Author's Note: Alright folks this MAY or MAY NOT be the final chapter pending on how much I write but if it is the final chapter, I wanna thank you all for reading Girl Meets Emergency and I hope you guys can enjoy some future work I have being planned out in my crazy, weird mind. Sooner or later I will release Girl Meets The NBA Lucas and Zay will be drafted but for which team still remains I will post in the author's note below the teams that are leading in the voting and you can still vote on which teams you guys would like to see Lucas or Zay on and remember the top two teams will be used during draft night. Enough talk, time to get into the action.
Disclaimer: I obviously don't own Girl Meets World! There would've been more hard times on the show by now if I did own the show.
"Zay…Are you reading what I'm reading?" Lucas asked Zay across the table both looking at their cell phones reading a text from Yogi.
"What the hell…Why would Billy just get up and leave the team?" Zay asked himself and Lucas.
"BILLY LEFT?! Thank God!" Riley said looking to the heavens sighing in relief.
"Riley! Billy is the only 12th grade big man we got besides Trent Michaels! Other than him it's just the 11th graders, Robbie Emerson and Duncan Hoyt that can play Center and Power Forward." Lucas explained knowing the limited space in their lineup for the big men positions.
"Speak in English Ranger Rick!" Maya groaned in confusion. Lucas sighed.
"Only Trent, Duncan and, Robbie can play the positions reserved for the tallest guys on the team." Lucas explained the problem.
"Well, Trent is 6'7, Duncan is 6'8, you and Robbie are 6'6 I guess you may have to play small forward and power forward now Lucas." Zay said knowing the predicament they are in.
"We'll see…I hope we can get ourselves out of this mess because if we do face St. Stephens next…That means we gotta face Anthony Campbell!" Lucas said knowing a possible opponent.
"Ya and from what I heard too, he's the best big man in the country! I heard he already accepted to play for the University of Connecticut Huskies!" Zay said passing on a rumor.
"He decided to play for UCONN?" Lucas exclaimed knowing Anthony will likely be a future opponent for Zay in the NCAA March Madness tournament.
"Ya the only reason he chose UCONN apparently is because he has family in Connecticut and some of his family are UCONN alumni." Zay answered.
"And how do know that if I may ask?" Lucas crossed his arms questioning his intel.
"Anthony and I talked for a bit and he's a really cool guy!" Zay answered Lucas' concerns.
"So what's gonna happen now?" Vanessa asked looking at the guy's table.
"We need to go back, knowing our coaches they would want to get the team together so we can get a plan together." Zay answered getting up and taking his drink with him.
"Alright then, let's go." Maya said getting up. The six teenagers left the Five Guys restaurant and the girls drove the guys back. During the drive Riley and Lucas needed to talk… "So, do you think you know…Billy and Charlie are gonna come after us since we know they were involved in attacking us?" Riley asked keeping her eyes on the road.
"They might now, I'll be keeping my eyes on where you are sitting and let's hope and pray nothing happens." Lucas sighed knowing Riley is in a vulnerable position.
"Lucas…If they do come after me, please don't turn into Texas Lucas. I can defend myself too." Riley pleaded with her boyfriend.
"But what if they try to hurt you? If they even try to come after you, I'm jumping into the stands and Texas Lucas will come out and pay them a visit." Lucas said rather angrily.
"Don't! Vanessa and Maya will be right beside me while Farkle is going to be busy being a cameraman for our school." Riley pleaded again taking his hands with her right hand while her left hand was steering the car so that she can calm him down.
"And if you won't?" Lucas asked looking at her.
"What do you mean if I won't?" Riley asked confused at what her boyfriend was asking.
"If they try to come after you, I'm coming up there no matter what anyone thinks or says! Riley after all this drama I just want to move on with this and bury this good! I'm sick and tired of people like Billy and Charlie messing with us, I just want us to be together and live our lives where nobody can bother us." Lucas said as he firmly grasped her right hand.
"Lucas, I agree with you on everything but nobody has to get hurt from all of this." Riley said pleading to him again.
"Oh we'll see about that." Lucas said feeling defeated in this argument with Riley. He then gets a text message from Zay.
"Lucas, meet at the hotel, let's relax for a bit and clear our heads." Lucas read aloud.
"Ok then!" Riley continued driving till she dropped him off at the hotel.
"Lucas, I'll be at home for a while to work on some homework ok? I'll be back for the Championship game tonight ok? I love you!" Riley said before driving off.
"I love you too babe!" Lucas said to his beautiful girlfriend as she drove off in her car.
Zay and Lucas met up and finally came back to their hotel room and plopped onto their beds to have a nap.
3 hours later!
It was 5:30pm and the boys heard a knock coming from the door. Lucas opened it up since he was the closest one, he opened it and it revealed Coach Hardaway.
"Hey Coach how you doing?" Lucas greeted his coach looking pretty groggy.
"Not bad, can you and Zay get up we have a team meeting in the locker room." Coach Hardaway instructed.
"Alright will do, see you in a bit Coach." Lucas said as Coach Hardaway left and Lucas closed the door as he woke up Zay. The two boys got their gear together and got ready as they went down to Madison Square Garden for the Championship Game. When all the members of the team entered the locker room, Coach O'Neal and Hardaway came in not in a good mood as it was noticeable Billy was not present in the locker room.
"Ok guys so, as you can see, Billy Ross is not here. No he didn't leave due to medical reasons so let's be thankful he's still in good health, he didn't leave under personal circumstances, he left for no reason! Just told me he was done!" Coach O'Neal said getting worked up.
"Listen guys, we're facing the St. Stephens Direwolves. Coach Hardaway will brief you all on what he has seen in terms of scouting the opponent and what we can expect tonight. Lucas, Zay, Duncan, Nate and, Trent will start. Knock it out of the park boys, it's time to prove yourselves." Coach O'Neal said before giving the floor to Coach Hardaway.
"Alright guys, so to get the big gigantic gorilla off our back, the main weapon for St. Stephens is Anthony Campbell. Probably the best big man I've seen live. We're gonna have to play him tough, we need to help each other and most importantly, we really need to communicate out there. Trent and Duncan…I'm really looking to you to keep Anthony at bay. You're gonna have to force him to take a shot at around 15 feet before the basket. Talk to each other and call for the help when you guys need each other. As long as Anthony doesn't create too much of mess for us, we have a good shot at winning the title tonight, but if Anthony fights through our defense, then this will be as close as it gets." Coach Hardaway says briefing the team.
"Lucas, Zay…In terms of scoring, you guys have been my most consistent players. Lucas I know last game wasn't your best, but make sure you make a statement here tonight! I'm leaning to you guys and Nate to really give us a good shot to win. From the looks of it, many people looks at us as the underdogs, for the first time we are underdogs this year! Great news I say! Now how bout we prove them wrong! What do ya say boys!" Coach Hardaway told the team trying to unite them and get the boys pumped up.
"Boys no matter what, lay your hearts out on the floor! This is the final game of the year! Make it worth something to you guys and play this game with a chip on your shoulder! This is your moment boys! Seize your moment!" Coach Hardaway as the team brought their hands in.
"Warriors on 3. 1, 2, 3!" Coach began the count for all of the team to yell Warriors on the count of 3.
"WARRIORS!" The team yelled in unison. The team ran out of the locker room and made their way to the court full of energy, ready for the obstacle in their path, St. Stephens High School. Both teams were already warming up and stretching their bodies out. There was 15 minutes on the clock until game time, Zay and Anthony were called to center court by the referees and Superintendent Turner. "Alright boys, let's have a nice clean game, remember each player has 5 fouls to work with and during each half, if there are 7 team fouls, that means your team will shoot 2 free throws. Any questions from you Mr. Babineaux?" The lead referee instructed both captains before asking Zay the question, he shook his head.
"And any questions from you Mr. Campbell?" The referee turned to Anthony, he too shook his head.
"Well ok then, shake hands Captains and let's have a great game! Goodluck to both teams." The referee closed his instructions as Zay and Anthony shook hands.
"Where's Billy?" Anthony whispered to Zay.
"He ditched the team. I'm sorry Anthony." Zay answered him apologizing for Billy's leaving the team.
"Don't worry that's on him, I don't care why he left as long as we have a good game. Good luck to you man." Anthony said as he wished Zay good luck as they went back to their respective benches and continued to warm up and make their final preparations.
"You ready Zay?" Lucas asked him as he could feel the nerves kick in.
"Ya man, let's win this!" Zay said getting himself in the zone.
Lucas looked towards the stands behind the John Adams bench and saw Riley and Vanessa. Riley had her hands folded and likely saying a prayer. Before the buzzer sounded he quickly sprinted to the stands and quickly kissed Riley's lips. He brought her hair back behind her ears and starred into her eyes, and said to her, "I love you Riley. The boys and I will win this game for us." Lucas told her leaning his forehead on hers.
"I love you too Lucas! Now go out there and be the champion I know you are." Riley smiled to him, cupped his cheeks and kissed him one more time as he walked back to the bench as the buzzer sounded. After the introductions of both teams were completed, Lucas and Zay looked at their girlfriends and gained an extra boost of energy knowing why they play basketball because they love the game and, to make their girlfriends happy and give them a better life, the life they deserve. The starting five took to the court and shook hands wishing each other luck as Trent and Anthony meet in the middle waiting for tip off. The head referee gets in between the big men, tosses the ball in the air and Anthony tips the ball towards of his Point Guard as the State Championship Finals between the St. Stephen Direwolves and John Adams Warriors were had begun.
