As Riley and Maya walked out of the hallway and into the living room, they saw Auggie sitting behind the couch. It didn't appear that the adults knew of his presence. Maya turned to Riley and smiled at the sight. Riley returned her smile and walked toward the adults on the couch.

"And then we got honey poured all over our heads!" Topanga was exclaiming, crying with laughter. Everyone, even Katy who wasn't there, was laughing along.

"And then the bear!" Cory cried out, falling backward onto the couch with Topanga in a fit of laughter.

"Oh, hey girls," Cory said, sitting up and trying to get over his laugh attack.

"Hey, Dad," Riley greeted.

"What have you been up to?" Cory asked.

"Just talking," Riley said, trying not to show her guilt for keeping a secret.

"About what?" Cory asked, now fully paying attention. Shawn, Topanga, Katy, and Angela all began to look at Riley now.

"Oh, um," Riley began.

"About what we're going to watch tonight at our sleepover," Maya interrupted. "I wanted to watch that new comedy, but Riley really wanted to see that new TV show instead- 'Kid's Daughter Gets Acquainted with the Universe.'"

"Oh, that show about the daughter of the curly-headed kid? The spin-off?" Cory asked.

"That's the one," Maya said, smiling.

"You know, the original was very good. I think you would like the spin-off," he said.

"Yeah, I like the original. I think I'll like the new one too."

"So, Riley, I heard you went on a date! Tell me about it!" Angela said, grinning at Riley.

"Oh, well it was very fun!" Riley was relieved to talk about something else. She continued to explain how her night went- in full detail- and her eyes turned glazy as she remembered the beautiful moments, including her first kiss. She didn't talk about that part though, as she knew her father would get upset to hear that his little girl is growing up.

"Wow, that's exciting!" Angela exclaimed when Riley finished her story.

"It was," Riley answered.

"Cory, are you okay?" Angela asked as she saw him. He was tensed up so bad that all of his joints were bent and his hands were clenched so tight that they looked purple. His face was scrunched up, showing that he was struggling greatly while listening to Riley's story.

"Yeah, he's fine," Topanga said casually. "He's just a little worried about Riley getting older." Topanga looked at Cory and then rolled her eyes.

"Cory, she has to grow up," Angela said to him.

Cory put his hands over his ears and said, "I can't hear you!"

"Annnd here comes the regression," Topanga said knowingly. "Don't worry. He'll be fine."

Angela nodded, unconvinced.

"You'll be fine, right honey?" Topanga asked as she patted his knee.

Cory relaxed a little bit and said, "Mmhmm."

"There ya go," Topanga said, mockingly soothing. "Why don't we talk about something else? Like how's your dad doing, Angela?"

"Oh," Angela said, looking down. "He passed away a few years ago- in an accident."

"Oh my gosh, Angela! I'm so sorry! Why didn't you tell us?" Topanga said rushing over to Angela's chair.

"I don't know," she started. "I guess because there's nothing you can do about it. There's nothing anybody can do about it."

"Well we can help you get through it!" Topanga said, hugging Angela.

"It's okay. It's in the past and I'm over it now," Angela said, brushing the conversation off.

Shawn wanted to comfort Angela, but he didn't know how. It would be inappropriate to act as he would have when he was her boyfriend. But he also didn't want to appear uncaring. He looked at Angela and smiled softly, showing that he felt compassion toward her. She saw him out of the corner of her eye and gave him a small smile in return. Then she looked away, perhaps thinking about her father or her past with Shawn. A lone tear ran down her cheek and she quickly brushed it away. Nobody noticed except for Shawn, who was still smiling at her, and Riley, who witnessed the whole thing.

Riley quickly turned away, feeling embarrassed. She then began to feel guilty. While she did want Shawn to end up with Katy, she didn't want Angela to be hurting. And that's exactly what was happening to Angela.. If Angela was already upset about her dad, how upset would she be after losing Shawn to Katy? Riley looked over at Maya.

Maya was not looking at Angela, but down at a string on her sweatshirt as she fiddled with it. She looked unhappy. Riley walked over to her and sat down on the edge of the couch.

"Maya, what's wrong?"

Maya looked up at Riley and shook her head, trying to signal for her to drop the subject.

"Well can we at least go to my room and discuss this movie night?" Riley asked, dropping a hint about their plan.

Maya shook her head again.

"But, Maya, don't you think we need to-"

"No, Riley," Maya interrupted.

"Maya, what's going on?"

Maya looked at Riley and then grabbed her hand to lead her to Riley's room.

Auggie peeked over the couch from where he was hiding to make sure the adults weren't looking; then he crawled quickly into the hallway to follow the girls.

I wanted to make a couple notes about this chapter. First, I hope you liked it! Please review! I want to know what you think! :) Second, I really wanted to include the 'Kid's Daughter Gets Acquainted with the Universe' because I loved that part in BMW. It made me laugh so hard! So I was really glad to be able to put it in this chapter. Lastly, I will not be making any statements about the First Date episode that haven't currently been proven to be true. That's why I skipped over Riley's story about it. I will, however, try to incorporate everything that's supposed to be in Girl Meets Hurricane according to the writers. I want this story to be as real as possible. Thank you for reading and I apologize for this long note. Please review!
