Eric's Revenge and Revelation: Completion of a tag ending, and more!!!

It Was You All Along

Cory felt his heart burning in his chest as watched Eric dance with Topanga. Their bodies seemed too familiar to each other, their movements too close. Tears of anger stung his eyes. 'It couldn't have been Eric, could it?' The question resounded in his mind.

"Snap out of it Cory," he muttered to himself, "You're being a jealous prick." He had to know- a conversation with them would be risky, but he had to know what was between them.

Navigating his way back through the crowd, Cory found Eric and Topanga still dancing. It took them a moment to realize Cory was back.

"Hey, lil' bro." Eric pulled away from Topanga. "She couldn't stop talkin' about you." Eric was lying- Topanga hadn't even mentioned Cory.

Topanga breathed a sigh of relief that Cory was back. She knew she couldn't allow herself to be so close to Eric- not anymore. It would just be too easy to- to-. 'Stop it!' She told herself silently.

Just then the trio was greeted by a familiar squeal of delight, and turned to see Angela approaching with Shawn.

"Hey guy's," Shawn shouted, grinning ear to ear. He was still blissfully unaware of the relationship that Eric and Topanga had shared.

Angela noticed the strained look on Topanga's face, and decided to try and get her away from the men to talk. "Hey Topanga, come with me to get a drink."

"That would be great." Topanga smiled gratefully at her friend. The tension was becoming too much. They quickly took off in the direction of the neon soda sign.

"So tell me-," Angela said close to Topanga's ear, so that she could be heard over the music. Curiosity at seeing the three together was killing her.

"Well, Cory and I came here after dinner, and we spotted Eric. Naturally Cory wanted to see Eric, so there we went. Then Cory had to go to the bathroom-," Topanga started to feel tears of frustration welling in her eyes. "So Eric asked me to dance- and I did. Angela, I can't help but miss him."

"Do you know for sure that you still love Cory?" Angela looked into Topanga's face, hoping for a clue as to her friend's inner turmoil.

"Yes- I think I do. He's just being so weird. I think we may have done too much damage-," Topanga stopped. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the throng of people focus on one side of the room.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Once the ladies had walked away, Cory led Eric to the side of the room. Shawn tagged along.

"What's up with you and Topanga?" Cory directed at Eric, hands on hips and determination for the truth written on his face.

"What do you mean Core? Pangers and I are friends-," Eric fidgeted and shrugged, but plastered on a smile for Cory's benefit.

"I think there is more, Eric." Cory stared at him with a gaze as cold as ice. "I can always tell when you're lying to me."

Shawn just stood open mouthed, looking back and forth between the brothers. Suddenly, things started to click for him; all the times he had seen Topanga and Eric together, the looks that passed between them, how they seemed to disappear at the same time, Angela's excuses for Topanga.

Eric sighed heavily. Lying would do no good at this point. The truth would just have to come out. "What do you want me to say, Cory? You want me to say I fell in love with the only woman you've ever loved?"

"So it's true. You are the one who was with Topanga, it was you all along." Cory balled his fists at his side, anger taking over. "You slept with her?"

"Ya. It was me, and I did sleep with her. She wanted to be with me, Cory- she was hurting, and I was there. Where do you get off Cory?" Eric was shouting at Cory now. His anger over the hurt Topanga went through all came to the surface. "She found out you slept with some chick at a party, drunk off your ass, and all the while you were spouting 'true love' to Topanga- you betrayed her trust!"

"Don't talk to me about trust, you ass!" Cory yelled as he lunged at Eric. His right hand made contact with Eric's jaw.

Eric was taken aback for a moment, and then went in with his own punch. The brothers found themselves locked in a brawl, both spewing words of hatred for the other.

"Guys! Guys!" Shawn tried desperately to separate them, but found himself taking an accidental punch as well. People were beginning to gather, half of whom knew the Matthews brothers, and the other half cheering on the fight.

Jacks voice was suddenly heard through the crowd as he made his way to the center of the group, and he assisted Shawn in finally getting Cory and Eric apart. Jack had pulled Eric away, and Shawn had a tight grip on Cory. All four men breathing heavily, Cory and Eric kept their eyes locked on each other, as Shawn and Jack looked back and forth between them.

"What is this all about?" Questioned Jack, totally oblivious to the cause of the fight.

"Why don't you ask my snake of a brother?" Cory yelled. His face was red from the exertion and the anger.

"No, man, YOU are the snake. YOU broke her heart." Eric slowed his breathing slightly, and licked his bleeding lip before he continued. "I was just there to pick up the pieces."

With that, Eric jerked loose from the hold Jack had on him and quickly exited the building.
