A/N: Prompt requested by Guest: You should write a first puberty story for either Riley or Maya and have the other friend be there for the other!
Warning: Puberty. Just, make sure you know that XD
Fourteen year old Maya sits at Topanga's, waiting for her mother's shift to end. The blonde sighs, sipping on her smoothie as her mom wipes one of the tables. She looks at the time on her phone. She still had to wait twenty minutes. The blonde frowns and rests her head on her chin. She begins to space out, her thoughts travelling aimlessly around.
Maya raises a brow as her phone rings. She shrugs, seeing that it is Mr. Matthews. She clicks the green button and holds the phone to her ear.
"Matthews, whatcha need?" Maya greets.
"I need help! Riley is acting... crazy!" Cory yells through the phone, making Maya pull it away from her ear a little bit.
The blonde looks at her mom before sighing in defeat, "Alright, I'll be over in five. Think ya can handle that, Matthews?"
"Hurry! She's... Unpredictable!" Cory pleads.
The blonde rolls her eyes and stops the call. She walks over to her mom. Katy smiles at her child, and Maya sighs and looks at her apologetically.
Maya hugs Katy, "I gotta go, mom. Mr. Matthews is becoming spastic because Riley apparently is acting crazier than usual. I have to diffuse the situation."
The older blonde smiles, "Alright, you go ahead and help Riley and Mr. Matthews. I'll be at home. Text me if you are spending the night, okay, sweetie?"
Maya nods, and Katy kisses her daughter on her head. They hug before Maya lets go and heads to the exit. She smiles and waves at her mom before exiting the little hangout. She steps onto the street, wondering what was so bad that Cory couldn't handle Riley, his little girl.
Maya presses the transmission speaker to Apartment 26, "Maya."
"Get up here, quick!" Cory yelps from the other end.
Maya giggles and walks to the Matthews' apartment. She opens the door, seeing Cory cowering on the couch with his hands around his ears. He rocks back and forth as if he had just seen a ghost.
"What's up, Matthews? You look like you just saw a ghost," Maya says with her signature smirk.
He points to the hallway leading to Riley's door. Maya rolls her eyes again and walks down the little hallway. She stops as she reaches Riley's door and presses her ear against the door. Maya frowns, hearing her friend crying.
"Riles?" Maya says, knocking lightly on the wooden door.
The door opens to a sobbing Riley, "M-Maya!"
The brunette latches around the girl, her sobs even louder than before. The blonde slowly pats the girl awkwardly on the back. Riley just sniffles and sobs.
"So what's wrong?" Maya asks after her sobs stop a little.
The brunette removes her head from Maya's shoulder so the blonde can see her upset face, "I came to my room today, and I realized..."
Maya grabs her friend's hands in concern, "You can tell me. I promise."
Riley sniffles and nods, "We didn't have any Lucky Charms!"
The brunette crumbles again, gripping onto Maya. She sobs again, and the blonde raises an eyebrow. Slowly detaching Riley from her, Maya brushes a loose strand of hair behind the brunette's ear.
"Hang on, you made me run all the way from Topanga's so you have me emotionally support you for not having cereal?!" Maya yells at the girl.
Riley nods, looking at the girl vulnerably, "It's really good... I really, really wanted some..."
Maya groans in frustration, "Why didn't you just tell me this morning you were running out? There is nothing to be upset about. It's just cereal!"
Suddenly, Maya was pushed against the wall, an extremely angry Riley hovering dangerously close. Maya gulps as the brunette pulls her face closer by wrapping her shirt around her fist. The brunette glares at Maya with a stare that was almost as good as the blonde's herself.
"You wouldn't understand, now would you?! You wouldn't care if we ran out of Lucky Charms because I know YOU are a Cinnamon Toast Crunch person, you traitor!" Riley yells accusingly.
The brunette slams both her hands on either side of Maya's head, making the blonde flinch. Riley looks at her accusingly,the rage clear in her eyes. Maya gulps again, her best friend making her strangely intimidated.
"Why does cereal matter so much?! Look at you, Riles!" Maya says.
The brunette glares at Maya dangerously, "Don't insult Lucky Charms!"
"You're being crazy! Snap out of it!" Maya yells.
The brunette's lip trembles, and she almost immediately is a sobbing mess again. The blonde watches as Riley sinks to the floor, sobbing uncontrollably. Maya slides down with her, rubbing soothing circles on her back as her best friend grabs onto her shirt, burying her head. Maya hums, still wondering what was going on with Riley.
"I-I'm sorry! I shouldn't have shoved you against that wall! I just am really upset about my cereal," Riley sobs.
Maya hugs the girl, silencing her, "It's okay... Tell you what. How about tomorrow we go and buy you a box of Lucky Charms, okay? Is that better?"
Riley nods, not saying anything. She hugs the blonde closer, and Maya holds onto her emotional friend tightly. She strokes Riley's hair comfortingly as the brunette continues to cry.
"I really want some cereal," the brunette whimpers out.
Maya kisses her forehead, "I know, honey. I know you want cereal."
"So... What happened?" Cory asks as he and Topanga stand outside the doorway of Riley's room.
Topanga rolls her eyes, "Puberty."
"Oh," Cory says dumbly. "Wait, what?! Ew!"
Topanga gives Cory a peck on the lips, "Well, Mr. Teacher. Hope you are ready for a raging hormonal teen because soon she will be like this EVERY day!"
Cory grips his chest, groaning like he just got shot. Topanga walks away with a smirk. Before leaving his earshot, Topanga looks over her shoulder.
"Just WAIT until Maya goes through this stage," Topanga says before walking to their bedroom.
Cory gasps, sliding down to the floor.
