Chapter 2-Welcome To New York Rachel couldn't believe her eyes. She had dreamed of this place since she was little, and now she was there! It was better than she had imagined-With the tops of the buildings going through the clouds. It seemed like they never ended-as though they reached for the stars. Topanga was smiling. Thoughts racing like rocket-ships in her mind. This was her new home. Cory and Topanga exchanged a smile. Neither of them could wait to start the life that awaited them. They knew it would be a happy one-With their strong love, Cory could see no way for it to falter. Either could Topanga. And they knew it wouldn't. Just because her parent's love didn't last, didn't mean hers would. Because their love was true. There was no doubt about it.

Shawn was still thinking of Angela. He was deep in thought. Her sweet, chocolate skin tone. Those chestnut eyes. Her slim tall body.. "Shawny"! The voice was distant in his mind. The way she held him and her laugh..Like the sunsetting above the water. Only more beautiful. "Shawny"! The voice was a little more clear, and a little louder. But Shawn took no notice. "SHAWN HUNTER'! Shawn jolted quickly from his thoughts. "Huh-wha"? Shawn shook his head. "What is it Core"? "Well finally"! Exclaimed Cory slightly flustered. "I got something Topanga"! "Shawn's up"! Topanga smiled. "That's good Cory". "Now come on boys". "Let's go see our new home". "Does that mean we get to check out the chics"? Topanga smiled. "Yes Eric". "You can check out the chics". Cory shook his head. "Only Eric". "Yup". Shawn replied distantly. "Hey Shawny are you okay"? "You don't seem like your um, all here". "Yeah Core I'm fine". "Ok, I'm your sure". "Yes I'm sure". Shawn snapped. Cory held up his hands. "Sorry". He said. And he ran and caught up to Topanga. "Whoa man". Eric was surprised at his sudden outburst. "ER- IC".... Shawn began. Eric knew that was his que. He stopped talking and started yelling "Hey wait up lil bro"! So that that the whole airport stared. Cory and Topanga ignored him and kept walking. Shawn couldn't help but chuckle under his breath. The whole scene was funny. Shawn knew that Topanga and Cory could hear Eric perfectly well. They were just choosing not to notice.

Shawn must have stopped and gone into space again because he heard Jack's voice and Rachel gently prodding him with her finger. "Shawn"? Asked Rachel gently. Shawn shook his head and straightened up. "Um, hi"? Rachel looked at him with concern. "Are you okay Shawn"? Asked Rachel "Yeah man maybe you should get some sleep tonight". Added Jack. "Where is everyone"? Asked Shawn "They've all gone Shawn". Answered Rachel. "Yeah man we almost left you here". Cory and Topanga and Eric are outside waiting. "Oh". Said Shawn "I guess we better go too then". Shawn said as he eyed more passengers coming in to go on another trip. "Yeeeup that might be a good idea". Said Rachel as she noticed too. Shawn started to move but Jack stopped him. "Look man if you ever need anything you talk to me ok"? "Brother to brother". Said Jack as he held Shawn's shoulder. "Ok thanks Jack". "No problem man". And they walked out of the plane and met up with Cory, Topanga, Eric, and Rachel who must have gone when Jack and Shawn were talking.

They called from the airport and rented a car. It would have to do until they all bought one. But first they needed money. And to get money they needed a job. (Cory already had some in his account of course. They all did.) The car was brought over by one of the agents. "Thank-you very much". Said Cory as he shook the man's hand. Cory Matthews and my wife Topanga. (the others stood with their hands on their hips) The man nodded and went off into another person's vehicle. They got into the car. After driving for around 45 minutes, the reached an apartment building. Topanga didn't understand. Cory told her they were just going to a hotel. She remained silent. She knew the others had gotten apartments elsewhere, but were spending the night with them. That, however, was supposed to be in a hotel. Cory parked in a covered parking area, and they silently got out of the car. Topanga drank it all in. It was beautiful. The went into the building, and Cory got a key from the manager. He pocketed it, and they all went up an elevator. They walked down a hall, and reached a door. 110. Cory drew the key from his pocket and opened it. There stood a well furnished room. Beautiful and homey. "Topanga". Said Cory "Welcome to our home".
