"So Lucas" said Riley when they started walking down the sidewalk "Do you want to go to the dance with me" she smiled
Lucas didn't know what to say, he has been trying to act up the courage to ask Riley to the dance these past few days but her Dad always came between them. "Of course I'll go with you Riley" he said
That was the moment Riley has been waiting for forever, tomorrow will be back to normal but today is still today. She couldn't stop smiling as they got on the bus to go to the mall with any hope they won't run into anyone they know.
"So" said Maya "Anyone wondering if Farkle is going to rat us out" she asked them
"He might" said Lucas
"I don't really trust him these days" said Riley "With any hope we will still be able to go to the dance after today"
The Mall wasn't as crowded as it normally is on the weekends. As Riley and Maya entered ahead of Lucas. "let's look for dresses" suggested Riley
"Are you kidding me" said Lucas
"I really need a dress for the dance" Riley said
"As long as I get to pick it out" he said
"Fine" said Riley
As Riley and Maya go into Forever 21, with Lucas following behind them. Riley feared of him finding the imperfect dress for her. He didn't know what she liked just yet, he didn't know her style as she thought more and more she knew that this skipping school is a mistake, this whole plan is going to end up back firing on her and she knew it.
"I think we should go back" said Riley "We shouldn't have done this"
"There is nothing to worry about, Riley" said Lucas as he started looking at the dresses.
"Really" said Riley
"I am positive" he said "We just have to make a phone call" he grabbed his phone
"What are you doing?" asked Maya
"Calling in sick" he said with a cough
"This is not going to work, This is not going to work" Riley kept on saying.
"Your turn" said Lucas as he handed Riley his phone.
After they made their phone calls, they all felt better. No way can Farkle rat them out now.
Back at the house as Cory slept, Topanga was trying everything in her power to not get sick as well as clean the house and take care of Cory at the same time, with any hope he'll be feeling better tomorrow.
With the dishes done and the laundry caught up for the day, Topanga headed back upstairs with a tray of soap and trackers for Cory. It was one thing seeing Cory sick like this but seeing him not being able to eat is something else other than soup is something else. As she entered their bedroom, she found that Cory was still asleep. "My poor baby" said Topanga "I wish you weren't so sick" she said as she kissed his forehead.
"How you feeling" she asked Cory when he opened his eyes.
"Not any better" said Cory as he shook his head.
As Topanga felt his forehead, she frowned "you're really burning up" she said as she grabbed the thermometer and placed it under Cory's tongue.
"It's no fun being sick" said Cory with the thermometer still under his tongue.
"No talking" said Topanga as she placed a finger in front of Cory's month.
"But honey" coughed Cory
"No' said Topanga
After the thermometer beeped and Topanga took it out and read it, she shook her head. "I think it's time to call the doctor" she said
"No doctor" said Cory "No" he shook his head.
"You need to see a doctor, Cory" Topanga said as she folded her arms
"I will feel better tomorrow" Cory said "And if I'm not better than you can take me to the doctor"
"Okay" said Topanga
But what Cory didn't know was that Topanga had already called the doctor. One of Cory's biggest fears was going to the doctor. She has known that since they were married, she nearly had to drag him when he was sick the last time. Thankfully this time the doctor offered to make a house call.
"Time for your medicine" Topanga said as she sat on the bed an hour later.
"It tastes yucky" said Cory "And I don't like it" he shook his head
"It will help you" said Topanga
"No" said Cory "Even Riley doesn't like it" he said
"But she isn't the one who is sick" Topanga said as she poured some of the medicine onto a spoon.
"Open up" said Topanga as she put the spoon near Cory's month with Cory still shaking his head. "Come on Cory" she said "It isn't that bad"
"Yes it is" Cory said "Even Riley hates taking this stuff" he said
"But she does" Cory
After awhile Topanga finally got Cory to take his medicine.
"Now that wasn't so bad was it" said Topanga
After Maya made the last phone call, they were ready to shop. "This is going to be a fun day" she said
"It sure is" said Lucas
"I don't know about this" said Riley
"Ok you two girls go into those dressing rooms and I'll give you some dresses to try on" Lucas said as he pushes Riley and Maya to the dressing rooms.
"So" said Maya as she was trying on a strapless white polka dotted" Do you think you will get your first kids at the dance" she asked Riley from her dressing room.
"Not sure" said Riley as she was trying on her dress which was one that she knew her parents wouldn't approve of her wearing as they said to her "if it shows to much skin, you can't wear it" . The dress came a little above her knees and was a spaghetti strap and turquoise.
"Let's see them" said Lucas
"I don't like it" said Maya shaking her head. "White isn't my color, I prefer a darker color" she said as she came out.
"Riley" said Lucas as she knocked on the dressing room door. "Let's see your dress" he said
"You look beautiful" said Lucas as Riley came out.
"Really?" said Riley
"Yes" said Lucas
After Lucas picked out a darker color dress for Maya one that he knew she would like and after she tried it on and really liked it. They continued their little shopping spree.
"What's next?" asked Riley
