A.N.: Okay, so this is actually happening.

The story idea I told you about? I´m writing it right now and you´ll get a taste of the first chapter right now.

I don´t know why, but I am excited about this story and I really hope you guys enjoy it! It´s Joshaya and Rucas :)

If you do enjoy it let me know, in the comments below! :)

I´d also love it, if you guys check out my other story ´(How) Long Game?´ and my drabbles collection and tell me what you think in the reviews! :)

Fact about me: I´m 19 and from Germany, but wanted to go to the states my whole life. That did not happen until September last year where I went to New York for an internship for 4 months.

Summary:

Lucas invites all his friends over to Texas for the summer again before their second year of High School and he invites Josh spontaneously , too . But is it really that good of an idea or will Josh and Maya just confuse themselves even more and what will Texas do again to the relationship between Rucas and the group in general?

At the Matthews apartment

"Summer break! Finally!" Maya exclaimed happily, walking into the Matthews apartment, followed by her best friend Riley Matthews who was just as excited. They just finished their freshman year at high school. They wouldn´t be the youngest ones anymore after the summer and now they had enough time to enjoy the stressfull and way too long school year that layed behind them. "It was about freaking time that these nut heads of teachers let us out." The blonde added while plopping down on the couch. Riley followed suit.

"I´m right here, Maya." Cory stated, coming in, too and looking a bit offended, but Maya ignored it while the Riley´s dad crossed his arms. "Just because you´re out of school for the summer doesn´t mean that you don´t have to respect me." He told her.

"I do respect you, Mr. Matthews. I´m just not going to take that comment back about the nut heads. You almost did not want to let us go, because you didn´t finish your story about how you went fishing with my dad on his bachelor party and you both fell into the sea." Maya said to him. It was still new for Maya to call Shawn her dad, but she was slowly getting used to it and she liked it, because Shawn truthfully was her dad for her. No one else.

Cory pouts at Maya while Riley nods in agreement. "She´s telling the truth, daddy. You can´t keep us, because of a story of you and your best friend aka my best friend´s dad." She agreed. "That had nothing to do with history class."

"But Shawn and I do have history. Doesn´t that count for history class?" Cory asked , the one who was supposed to be the teacher. Riley and Maya looked at each other and then at Cory and shook their head. "Oh come on!" He exclaimed in disbelief. "You can´t mean it. We are you two just a bit older."

"Yeah, like 60 years older." Maya stated and Riley chuckled, but before Cory could object Lucas, Farkle and Zay came through the still open door what made Riley smile happily, jumping up and walking up to her boyfriend, hugging him. Maya and Zay both stated, "Gross." While the other two boys sat down besides the blonde beauty. Cory looked in disbelief at the boys and the girls.

"Did you ever hear something about knocking? This is not your apartment. " He asked.

"The door was still open. If you don´t want us to just come in, you should lock your door." Zay stated and shrugged while leaning back in the couch. Riley and Lucas meanwhile joined them on the couch while Cory looked annoyed at them, but didn´t know what to object at first.

"What do you even want here? I have vacation, too. That means including vacation from you crazy ones or at least I hoped so." Cory stated.

"Sorry, Matthews, but no can do." Maya replied and Cory groaned this time while the others chuckled and nodded.

"But we´re actually here to ask you something, girls." Lucas stated while putting his arm around Riley. Riley blushed and leaned into him while the two girls looked confused at the boys. "Pappy Joe called a few days ago and he asked if we all want to come back to Texas over the summer. He misses us and I thought it would be a great oppurtunity to spend the summer, since non of us really had plans anyway." Lucas stated.

Zay and Farkle nodded while Riley´s eyes lit up. "YES!" She screamed while at the same time Maya shouted, "No!" Riley looked confused at her and asked, "Why are you screaming no? This would be great? Another vacation with all of us!" The brunette was so excited that she jumped up, dragging Lucas with her and just hugging him.

Maya shook her head and told her, "Yeah another disaster. Remember what happened last time?" Then she started to mimick Cory´s voice. "Texas. It was almost the end of Lucas and Riley, America´s sweethearts."

"I do not sound like that!" Cory exclaimed, looking at the blonde but Maya just shrugged while the others. "Besides, I normally wouldn´t like the idea, but Topanga and I want a vacation alone after years, so I would let you guys go." Now the blonde was the one looking in disbelief at her history teacher. Riley´s dad threw his hands up and said, "What? It´s not like I´ve got anything to lose. Last time it almost broke them up and I talked to Pappy Joe. He´s gonna take care of you trouble makers."

As if he would. But none of the teams said. Maya just sat there annoyed and opened her mouth to say something as Cory added, "Shawn and Katy are going on vacation, too so you don´t have much of a choice , Maya."

The blonde opened her mouth to say something as the door went open again and this time Josh walked through the door with his laundry bag over his shoulder what made Maya giggle and point at him. "I could stay with him." She suggested happily what made Cory look in disbelief at her.

"NO!" He this time shouted. It was already bad enough that his daughter was together with the Cowboy now even though he knew that Lucas was a good guy. But his brother and the best friend of his daughter? This would just be weird. Even though Josh was a good guy, too he couldn´t really imagine it and he didn´t even want to think of what Shawn would say, if he found out about these two.

Josh on the other hand was looking confused at the blonde while naturally plopping down besides her, his arm over the couch, not quiet resting over her shoulder yet. "What are you guys talking about?" He asked. Maya´s smile faded as soon as she thought about what Lucas had suggested.

"Lucas suggested that we could go to Texas again over the summer." Riley replied since Maya just looked like a grumpy cat at the thought what made both Riley and Lucas sigh. "I think that it is a great idea." This time Zay nodded, too looking at the boy besides him now who half had his arm around Maya. Some time without Josh would do the blonde some good. Farkle seemed to like the idea, too.

Josh on the other hand looked shocked at them. "You can´t all go back to Texas! I mean Maya can´t go!" He suddenly exclaimed, standing up. That made even Cory look confused at him while Maya seemed flustered, but at the same time confused. As Josh saw their looks he quickly added, "I - I mean, I don´t think that this is a good idea." That didn´t male it better for him at all.

Lucas now stood up and asked him, "Why do you think that?" He had a pretty good idea of why the younger Matthews brother thought that, but he didn´t say anything. Maya on the other hand looked very interested at Josh, while standing up to and putting a hand on his arm.

"Yeah, Josh. Why do YOU think that?" She asked. Josh looked at the beautiful blonde girl in front of him who he was slowly deloping feelings for. He didn´t want to tell her the reason just yet. Things were going so good for them in a friendship way. They were texting a lot and it seemed like Someday was a really good idea, but- Josh swallowed not replying as Riley walked behind Maya.

"Josh?" She now asked. "Why would this bother you?" The brunette had the same idea as her boyfriend , but she didn´t want to say it. Josh had to tell Maya himself. Zay and Farkle seemed to know what was this about, too and just smirked.

While on the other hand Cory looked completely confused at his little brother. "I- I mean, didn´t you forget what happened last time in Texas with you girls and with you and your boyfriend, Riley? Texas. It was almost the end of Riley and Lucas- America´s sweethearts." Josh mimicked Cory, too and Maya had to laugh at that while the others were grinning wide at how similar he was to Maya right now, trying to save himself.

"You guys are adorable." Zay said to Maya and Josh what made both of them blush and Cory go even madder. Maya definitely had to go to Texas with these guys and far far away from Josh for a while in his opinion. "Saying each others sentences. A-dorab-le." Zay continued and now Cory was fuming.

He pointed at Maya and told her, "You- Are going with them to Texas and I don´t care what you want right now." and then he pointed to Josh. "And you- Are staying here or going to Philly or wherever, but far away from her!" Maya and Josh looked both shocked at Riley´s dad. They did not expect that at all. Yes, Cory deep down liked them together, too but he was too old for her right now and this just couldn´t work.

"Actually... Josh could come with us." Riley suddenly suggested and Cory´s mouth went wide open while Maya turned in disbelief to her best friend. "We should have an adult with us when Pappy Joe isn´t there and as far as I know Josh would have spend his whole summer in Philly alone with grandma and grandpa and Mr. Feeny." She added. "There´s enough space for Josh to come. Right, Lucas?" She looked at her boyfriend.

"Mr. Feeny is not that boring, okay?!" Josh exclaimed while Riley just rolled her eyes at him before looking back t Lucas.

Lucas got the hint and nodded while Cory wanted to open his mouth adn this time Farkle interrupted, "Yeah and he could make sure that Riley and Lucas would do no funny businesses. I mean do you really want to leave us all alone in Texas again after what happened? Josh seemed really concerned about that."

Josh didn´t object about that one and Maya looked at him. Would he really go with them to Texas? For her or because of something else? Was she right with what she thought or was this all a terrible idea. She did not want to go to Texas, but the thought of a vacation with Josh... Scared her.

Cory seemed to think about what his daughter and Farkle said and then slowly nodded, pointing at Josh again. "Plan changed. You are going to Texas with them to make sure that there are no funny businesses involved, but -" And this time he also pointed at Maya. "If I hear about any funny businesses between you two I´ll make sure Shawn finds out." This made all of them gasp and Josh flinch. He had to talk to his brother and to Shawn finally about the whole situation.

"So... Josh? You want to come to Texas with us?" Riley suddenly interrupted his thoughts. The younger Matthews brother looked first at Riley, then at Lucas at Cory and finally his gaze fell onto Maya who was waiting for his answer, too. He did not want to be with her just yet, but a summer together in Texas wouldn´t hurt if he could make sure that she wouldn´t get hurt again, right?

"Count me in." Josh replied and gave the blonde girl a smile.
