Hey guys! Happy New Year! Sorry for the late updates but I have been busy. I am trying my best to do regular updates but it may not always happen. This one is gonna be pretty short but hopefully the next chapter can be longer as I will be less busy. Thanks for all the support. I just wanted to reply to some comments quickly.

hopewings6: Is Lucas going to propose?! Please say yes! Although I know both won't want to take away from Smackle and Farkle big day. Can't wait to see what Maya has planned P.S. I love your stories they are literally amazing!

Response: I don't know. Is Lucas gonna propose? Maybe, maybe not. And Mayas plan is only the beginning because something explosive will happen in Texas.

Grace: While it's kinda sweet that everyone is so involved in this "operation Rucas", I can't help but wish Maya would lay off haha. I can't wait for Texas though. Let's go

Response: I think for Maya it's a guilt thing. She feels responsible for Riley not having her happy ending with Lucas and that's why in this story she's pushing so hard for it. And some crazy stuff will go down in Texas.

Without further ado here is chapter 11! Enjoy!

At almost 5am, there's not much to smile about. It was dark out, colder and very early which made it even harder to get out of bed. But Riley, well Riley had a skip in her step. Two of her best friends were getting married, Maya was happy and thriving, Zay was working his dream job and best of all she had the man of her dreams. After everything their group had been through over the years, everyone's stars seemed to align. Nothing could ruin that for Riley. Not even being awake at 5am.

She was obviously the first one at the bakery considering she owned it, but she quickly went to her office to collect the supplies she needed for the wedding cake. Her Smackle and Farkle had gone through many designs and flavours but ultimately ended up deciding on a classic red velvet wedding cake, with three tiers with various colours of chocolate flowers. Although Farkle's mother hated the idea of bright flowers on the cake, the bride and groom wanted a unique cake that represented their unique personalities. They all agreed that it would be best to make the cake in Texas as they were leaving New York a week and half before the wedding. Riley was pretty nervous about it but the genius couple reassured her it would be great no matter what.

As she was checking her supplies she heard the ding of the bell on the bakery door which signalled that someone had come in.

"Riley, you here?" Lucas yelled.

"Yeah, in the office." Riley yelled back.

"Hey, what are you doing back here?" He asked as he came up behind her.

"I'm just checking to make sure I have everything for the cake and I do." She said as she turned to find him right behind her.

"Great...so when are the others getting here?" Lucas sked.

"Well its 4:55am so they should be here in 5 minutes." Riley said.

"So we have 5 minutes alone." Lucas asked as he motioned her towards her desk.

"Yeah, I guess we do." She replied.

"What could we possibly do with that time?" Lucas sarcastically asked,

"Oh I think we can come up with something but you better make it quick cause its gonna be a long 3 hour flight." Riley said as Lucas picked her up and put her on her desk.

They both leaned in and kissed each other with a new found passion. As the kiss deepened Riley ran her hands through Lucas's hair and he slid his tongue into her mouth causing her to moan. Riley leaned back to lie on her desk bringing Lucas with her as she wrapped her legs around his waist. Their passionate make out soon came to an abrupt stop when the bell had dinged again which meant one of their friends had come in. They both quickly shot up and fixed themselves so no one would suspect what they were doing.

"Hello. Riley, you here?" Zay yelled.

"Yeah, in the office." She said as Zay made his way to her office.

"Oh Lucas, I didn't know you were here." Zay said.

"Yeah, I got here right before you." Lucas said calmly.

"So you guys ready for a crazy week in Texas." Zay said.

"I don't know how crazy it'll get." Riley said.

"Oh come on, It's a wedding, Crazy stuff always go down at wedding." Zay said.

"Maybe, but as Maid of Honour and Best Man we have responsibilities so I dont know how crazy we'll get." Riley said.

"Riley's right, but I'm sure you and the rest of the gang will go a little wild." Lucas said.

"Oh trust me, we have some crazy stuff planned." Zay said giddily.

"You seem excited Zay." Riley said as she turned to grab her bag and suit case.

"I just, I have a good feeling about this trip." Zay said.

"So do I." Lucas said quietly as he looked at Riley. He had no idea what would happen but for some reason he couldn't shake the feeling that something big was coming.

The bell dinged again meaning that someone else had entered the bakery.

"Hey losers, anyone here?" Maya yelled as Riley, Lucas and Zay walked out of the office to find Maya, Farkle, Smackle and her Uncle Josh who was joining them for their trip.

"Hey Maya, I see you're still not a morning person." Zay said.

"Take my word for it, this is her being nice in the morning." Josh said as the group laughed,

"Shut it boing or you won't be spending any mornings or nights with me." Maya said as Josh apologised.

"Don't worry peaches, you'll be able to sleep on the flight." Riley said.

"Yeah the private jet has a small bedroom." Farkle said.

"Oh Farkle Minkus, you are the best friend a girl could have." Maya said.

"Hey! What about me?" Riley said.

"What? You're my sister." Maya said.

"Fine, well we better get going. We have a long week ahead of us." Riley said as they all leave the bakery, get into cars and drive to the airport.

Once they get through security, they make their way onto the private jet. Maya immediately makes her way to the bedroom with Josh to sleep. Zay, Smackle and Farkle all make themselves a cup of coffee and eat breakfast while watching Netflix. Riley and Lucas had of course immediately went to the games console to play Die Zombies Die. It had kind of become a private joke between the two when Luicas admitted he actually liked seeing her get a little feisty when she played it.

"You excited?" Lucas asked.

"Of course, Texas holds a special place in my heart." Riley said.

"Oh yeah, why's that?" Lucas said teasingly.

"Well it's where me and the man I love finally decided to stop being idiots and be together." She said.

"I dont think me and the woman I love were idiots, I think we were lost and we found our homes in each other." He said back as she smiled at him.

"We are 20 minutes into our 3 and a half hour flight and already you are making it really difficult for me to not to jump on your bones." Riley said as Lucas laughed.

"Well maybe we can join the mile high club?" Lucas whispered jokingly.

"Oh Lucas Friar, if we were alone on this plane, believe me when I say we would have already been naked in that bedroom." She whispered back.

"Now you're testing my patience Miss Matthews." Lucas said.

"You started it Mr Friar. Now shut up and kill some Zombies." Riley said.

"Oh you know I love it when you talk dirty." Lucas joked as Riley laughed loudly.

Zay, Smackle and Farkle looked over to see Riley and Lucas laughing with one another.

"Maybe we don't have to meddle as much as we think we do." Farkle said.

"They do seem to fall into each other naturally." Smackle said.

"Yeah but the one thing we've learnt about Rucas over the years is that sometimes they need a push." Zay said.

He didn't know if the plan would work, but him and the rest of his friends hoped that whatever happened, Riley and Lucas would return to New York as more than just friends.
