Juliet's World
Hello, my fellow readers. It is I, the great James Stryker bringing you another great chapter of Juliet's World. Before you read the new chapter, did anyone see the new photo of Riley, Maya, Lucas and Farkle that's been circling online? It made me feel nostalgic when I saw the photo because it reminds me of the title sequence of the final three seasons of Boy Meets World. I think that photo is for the new title sequence or probably from the new promotional photoshoot for the new cast pictures maybe. What do you think? Do you think that the photo would be from their new title sequence or from the new season three promotional photoshoot? I'm back with another great chapter and I have spent days trying to come up with ideas for this chapter because I want this chapter to be hilarious. This chapter is about Riley turning 30. Happy birthday to Riley! Also, she starts freaking out about turning 30. So here it is, chapter thirty-six of Juliet's World. Enjoy.
Chapter Thirty-Six
The Bummer of 30
(Riley's P.O.V.)
Today is a very big day for me. It's 6:00 A.M. and now it's 30 years since I was ejected from my mother's womb and introduce to this wonderful world. Yesterday was the last day of me being 29 years old and I had to prepare myself for the dreaded next step. I woke up at 5:30 A.M., I had the alarm on, waking both me and Lucas up from the sound of the man on the radio singing You're Old. Seriously, I'm 30 years old, I'm not that old like my parents. Wait, my parents are in their forties. Aw, crap! What if there's a grey hair in my head. I quickly jumped out of bed and ran into the bathroom. I turned on the bathroom light and looked in the mirror, checking every strand of hair to make sure that I don't have a grey hair in my head.
"Oh, thank god." I sighed. Lucas enters the bathroom and wraps his arms around my waist and kissed my cheek.
"Happy birthday, princess." Lucas said.
"Thanks, Lucas." I smiled at my husband as he kissed me on my neck, making me giggle.
"Well, somebody's turning 30 today. And I know who that person is." Lucas said.
"I know. It's me." I said as I turned the shower on. "I wonder what we're going to do on my birthday."
"I don't know. Are you going to take me to Chubbie's for my birthday dinner?" I asked.
"Maybe. Or I can cook some ribs that are in the freezer. I can cook them out on the grill." Lucas said.
"But aren't the ribs in the freezer supposed to be for our Christmas dinner? I mean we can go to Chubbie's for ribs. Or we can go to Benihana for your birthday." Lucas said while I look back at him, wanting to get some privacy.
"Do you mind?" I asked.
"Riles, I'm married to you. You know that I always see you naked. Before you step inside the shower or when we make love. Or on your 17th birthday. Remember?" Lucas said as he brought up the first night that we conceived Juliet on my birthday. I grinned at Lucas and pushed him out of the bathroom so that way I can take my shower without him watching me. I begin to remove my pajamas and step into the shower, feeling the hot water hitting my body.
"Sure that you don't need me to join you?" Lucas asked.
"Lucas, I have to get ready for work and so do you. Get the kids ready for school." I said as I took my shower.
Minutes later, after taking a shower and getting dressed, Lucas was in the kitchen fixing breakfast for Juliet and Alan and fixing Alan's lunch, I was in the bedroom brushing my hair and put on my black flats on my feet before heading downstairs to join them. I heard my phone begin to vibrate on my nightstand, picking it up to see who's calling. Yes! It's my best friend, Maya!
"Hello." I said after I answered the phone.
"Happy birthday! Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday, dear Riley. Happy birthday to you." Maya sang happy birthday to me. "Happy birthday, pumpkin. I hope that you're having a great day."
"Thank you, peaches." I said. "I wish that you and Josh were here to celebrate my birthday."
"I know, Riles. I wish that I was in Texas to celebrate your birthday too. We could've gone out to a club and have some drinks. We could bring Smackle and Vanessa with us too." Maya said.
"I know. But you remember the last time that I drunk." I said.
"Yeah, you and Lucas conceived Alan." Maya said.
"You had to bring that up, did you?" I asked as Maya starts laughing from the other line. "Maya!"
"I'm sorry. It happened on Lucas' birthday and you two had a lot to drink that night while Josh and I watched Juliet. So, do you have any plans for your birthday?" Maya asked.
"Yeah, Lucas and the kids are going to Benihana for my birthday dinner." I said.
"Mom, come downstairs. You need to see this." Juliet called.
"I'll be right down, Jules. Hey, I'll have to get going and see what my kids have planned for me. Tell Josh that I said hi and give Sabrina and Hunter a kiss for me." I said.
"Okay, I will. Take care and have a happy birthday." Maya said.
"I will. Thanks, peaches. Talk to you later. Bye." I said.
"Bye." Maya said as I end the phone call. I step out of the bedroom and head downstairs to enter the kitchen, only to see Lucas, Juliet and Alan standing behind the kitchen table with a plate of pancakes sitting on the table. The pancakes had vanilla icing on top with sprinkles on it and topped with Reddi Whip. Oh yeah, there was a candle on top of the triple stack of pancakes.
"Happy birthday, mommy." Alan said.
"Aww, is that for me?" I asked.
"Yep, it's all for you mom." Juliet said as she walked over towards me and gave me a hug. "Happy birthday mom."
"Thanks, sweetie." I said smiling at Juliet as I made my way over to the table. Lucas pulled the chair out for me and I sit down in the chair as he pushed me into the table. "Thank you, Mad Dog."
"Mad Dog?" Juliet snickered.
"Riles." Lucas said as I started giggling at him.
"I hope that you're excited for tonight, mommy. Daddy is making a red velvet cake." Alan said.
"Ooh, a red velvet cake. My favorite. I can't wait for that." I said.
"Mom, I was wondering if I could invite someone to your birthday dinner?" Juliet asked.
"Sure." I said.
"Who do you want to invite?" Lucas asked as he grabbed his glass of orange juice and took a sip.
"Well, I want to invite Elliot." Juliet said. Lucas' eyes widened in shock and spits out his orange juice all over Rover, who ran away into the living room.
"What?!" Lucas exclaimed. "No, no, no, no, no, no! There's no way that you're inviting Elliot. Why do you want to invite him?"
"Because Elliot is my boyfri….friend. He's my friend and I like him. I want him to join us." Juliet said.
"Come on, Lucas. This is the only boy that Juliet likes. Just stop acting like my father for once and let our daughter be happy." I said.
"Ugh, fine. Elliot can come with us. I'm gonna let you know that I will be keeping an eye on the both of you. And boyfriend?! You two are boyfriend and girlfriend now?! Where's my Pappy Joe's shotgun? I'm gonna kill that kid!" Lucas exclaimed as a shocked look appears on my daughter's face. I turned to Lucas and glared at him evilly.
"You are not going over to the Carpenter's and threaten Elliot with a shotgun. Besides, you gave it to Timmy McCullough." I said.
"Oh, f…" Lucas said as I stuffed a pancake in his mouth so he won't finish that word.
"Watch it, mister." I said. "So Alan, are you excited about daddy taking you to see Santa Claus?"
"Yay, Santa! Wait until I show him my list." Alan said.
"Good. Let's make sure that your father doesn't get into a fight with Santa Claus like the last time." I said as I looked at my husband.
"Me? I didn't get into a fight with Santa Claus." Lucas said as Juliet and I both raised our eyebrows at him and gave him a look.
"Oh, really? Because that's not how it happened?
(Flashback, Twelve Years Ago)
Santa: Ho, ho, ho. And what's your little girl's name?
Riley: Her name is Juliet.
Santa: Why hello there, Juliet. What would you like for Christmas?
(Baby Juliet looks at Santa and starts crying)
Santa: Oh, God. Will you get this little brat off of me?!
Riley: (Grabs Baby Juliet) Hey! Don't you dare call my daughter a little brat.
Santa: She had no right hollering, you dumb bitch!
(Lucas notices the man dressed as Santa yelling at his wife and daughter)
Maya: Uh-oh. Lucas, don't make a scene. Don't make a scene!
(Lucas and Maya walk over to Riley and Santa to stop them from arguing)
Lucas: Riley, are you okay?
Riley: No, Santa was being rude to Juliet.
(Riley and Maya walk away with Baby Juliet in Riley's arms)
Lucas: Buddy, what is wrong with you? You have no right yelling at a six-month-old baby.
Santa: Don't tell me how to do my job, Huckleberry.
(Lucas begins to notice a strong odor on the man's breath)
Lucas: Sir, have you been drinking?
Santa; It's none of your business what I had to drink.
Lucas: You shouldn't drink while working with little children, you boozehound.
(Santa shoves Lucas)
Lucas: You shouldn't have done that.
Santa: Oh, yeah. And why's that?
Lucas: Because back in Texas, I've been kicked out of school for getting into a couple of fights. I don't want my daughter and the children to see the violent side of me. I'm as strong as a horse we can just start takin' shots at each other. In the end, you're gonna be the one who's on the floor.
Maya: Oooooh!
Riley: Oh, no. Lucas, don't get into a fight with Santa. Just walk away.
Lucas: Don't worry, Riley. Santa and I are talking things out.
(Santa turns Lucas around to face him and punches him in the face. Riley and Maya gasp in shock. Lucas charges at Santa and tackles him on the ground and starts fighting him with the children cheering at Lucas. The man dressed as the head elf and a couple of employees dressed as elves jump in to help Santa out and started beating up on Lucas. Lucas picks up a giant plastic candy cane and starts swinging it at them)
Lucas: Alright! Who wants to get their holly jolly asses kicked?
(The elves tackle Lucas down to the ground and start beating him with plastic candy canes)
(End flashback)
"Oh, yeah. That." Lucas said.
"Yeah, you punched out Santa and his elves beat you up. Not to mention that Aunt Maya kissed you." Juliet said.
"Oh, god! Maya told you that part?!" Lucas asked.
"Yep." Juliet said.
"Remind me to slap your best friend in the face for telling our daughter that." Lucas said as I rolled my eyes at him. Lucas starts cutting the crust off of Alan's peanut butter and jelly sandwich while I start eating my pancakes.
"Mommy, how old are you? Are you 50?" Alan asked. "Daddy, mommy's old!"
After hearing Alan say that, my eyes widened in shock and I started crying as I got up from my seat and ran upstairs into the bedroom.
"Alan." Lucas said as he glared at Alan.
"What? Is it something that I said?" Alan asked.
"Yeah. You called mom old, you little ferret." Juliet said as she glares at Alan.
"Alright, no need to call your little brother names. I'll go upstairs to talk to her." Lucas said.
"Dad, how old are you? Are you 29?" Juliet asked.
"Actually, I'm a year older than your mother." Lucas said.
"What?!" Juliet exclaimed as Lucas left the kitchen and heads upstairs.
Oh, Alan. Why did you have to call your mother old? I hope that you like that little flashback from Be My Baby. If you didn't get the flashback, then read Be My Baby first before you read this story for those of you who are new to this story. Next time on Juliet's World, Riley talks to Lucas and admits her fear of aging. I hope that you're ready for the Christmas chapters because that is part of the reunion chapters. We'll get to see Lucas' parents again and a very special guest will appear in the Christmas chapters. Who do you think the very special guest will be? Don't forget to review this story and don't forget to add this story to your favorites and make sure to follow it for updates. Also, there's been an issue with the reviews on this site right now because there's been a glitch and it's not showing the reviews, but don't worry I have email so that way I can read your reviews so I can do Let's Talk. I'll see you guys next time for chapter thirty-seven. Till next time, my fellow readers.
