8:15

Maya and Farkle were at Riley's house. She had invited them over, since it was time to rewatch The Wizard of Oz. Cory had bought the movie for Riley when she was six. At first, the movie scared her, but as she got older, she had grown to love it. It still gave her the creeps, though.

Maya and Farkle installed themselves on the couch.

"Where's Lucas?" Farkle asked Riley. They were about to see the movie, and Mr. Friar wasn't there yet.

"He texted me texted me that he's coming in a few minutes," Riley replied. She was taking the DVD out of its case. "We wont have to wait that long."

"Let's just start the movie," Maya groaned. "He's seen it already, it won't matter"

"Okay, okay." Riley inserted the DVD and hopped onto the couch with Maya and Farkle.

Riley picked up the remote from the table and played the movie. Riley looked to her side and noticed that Maya had brought a camera, which she borrowed from her mother.

"Why did you bring a camera?" Riley asked.

"To take pictures," Maya smirked, "That's what cameras are for."

"Okay…"

The movie started.

Cory and Topanga were buying new clothes for Auggie, so all three of them weren't at home at the moment. This meant that it was the perfect time to watch the movie.

Riley went to the kitchen and got a box of popcorn from one of the cabinets, and returned to the sofa.. "Popcorn?" She asked her friends. They gladly accepted.

"How old is this movie?" Farkle asked.

"I don't know exactly," Riley replied, "But it is pretty old."

Flash! Maya took a picture. She looked at the result and smiled, "This is perfect for the background."

"Maya," Riley asked, "Are you going to paint the background by yourself?"

Maya looked at her, "No, but I'm doing most of it." Her tone sounded like she was bragging.

"Shush!" Farkle yelled softly, "I don't want to miss a single part of this movie."

"You've already seen it, Farkle," Maya stated. Flash! She took another picture and ate a handful of popcorn.

Farkle let a soft "Oh yeah", then returned his focus to the movie. "Whoa! Toto is cuter than I remember."

The doorbell rang, and Lucas' voice was heard on the other side. "I'm here!"

Riley got off the couch and opened the door for Lucas. "Hey Lucas, we started the movie without you, sorry." Please don't be mad, she thought

Lucas didn't seemed to mind, though he seemed not to have paid attention. "Riley!" He walked to the couch and continued. "I took a photo of the sheet with the cast of the play on it, and a few minutes ago, I looked at it."

Riley raised an eyebrow. "And?"

"It turns out that you're Darby's understudy! There's still a chance for you to be Dorothy!"

"Quiet!" Farkle yelled, then noticed Lucas, "Oh hey Lucas!"

Lucas waved. "Hey." He sat on the couch and took some popcorn.

Riley couldn't process this new news. she thought she had gotten over not being Dorothy, but, it turns out she hasn't. Riley suddenly became extremely happy. She might actually be Dorothy!

Then, she realized something.

"Does this mean I have to go to Dorothy's rehearsals? And know all of Dorothy's lines?" She asked.

"Yeeesss, obviously," Maya replied.

How will I be able to memorize it all? Riley asked herself. Dorothy has a ton of lines, and I also have to memorize Glinda's! Hopefully the script is a simplified one, one that isn't as long as I think it is.

"Farkle," Riley sat down. "How do you memorize things so easily?"

Farkle shrugged, "I don't know, I just have good memory."

Riley sighed. I just hope I do, too.

Flash! Another picture taken by Maya.

"Ahh! That witch is ugly!" Farkle yelled.

"I know!" Maya agreed. "How do we even know she's a girl?" Maya and Farkle had disgusted expressions on their faces. "I feel bad for whoever's playing her in our school play."

Lucas looked at his phone, "The wicked witch of the west is played by...Missy Bradford."

"No surprise," Maya said. She grabbed a handful of popcorn.

"Wait," Lucas said, looking at his phone, "Why did Mrs. Parker give Yogi five roles?"

"Who knows?" Riley replied, "I heard Mrs. Parker was actually considering casting herself as The good witch of the north."

Flash!

"Maya," Riley asked, "How many pictures do you need?"

"Seven," Maya replied. "Farkle did the math for me. This popcorn's amazing!" She stuffed her face.

Riley agreed. She ate a handful of popcorn.

Lucas was very into the film, although he felt the cowardly lion looked more like his neighbor's kitten than he did a lion. He pictured himself in the same costume, then shrugged.

Riley did the same, and couldn't get the image of Lucas in a cowardly lion costume out of her head. Note to self: Lucas does not look as cute as he does with long hair. Always make sure he gets his hair cut. :) She also replayed Lucas telling her she was Darby's understudy, making sure it was real, and not her imagination.

Farkle tried as hard as he could, and succeeded, in being able to focus on the movie, even with his friends talking and taking pictures, and hogging the popcorn. He was enjoying the movie more than his friends combined.

Flash!

The movie was about halfway over, and it was ten past nine. Auggie and the parents said that they were going to get home at around ten.

Ring! Ring! It was the Matthews' home phone. Riley picked it up. "Hello?"

"Hey sweetie," It was Cory, and his voice showed worry, "I forgot to tell you something. Auggie doesn't want you to eat the popcorn, he says that he needs it tomorrow when Ava and Doy are coming over tomorrow."

Please give feedback. It is appreciated. :) :) :) :) :)
