When Hearts Collide - Chapter 3

Maya walks into the small diner that her friends had lunch at. When she sees them she walks over and greets the three. "Whaddup Losers?"

They all 3 look up at the blonde, Smackle with one eyebrow tweaked up, Farkle with a small grin on his face, and Zay was the only one to speak.

Zay - "Tell us why we're friends with you again."

Maya - "Because you love me." Maya says as she sits next to Farkle putting her arm around him. "And I love you guys as well." She has a smile on her face until she realizes something, the the smile drops. "Oh god, I just did a Riley didn't I?"

Farkle - "Full on Riley." He smirks.

Maya scrunches up her nose. "Ew."

Smackle looks at her questionably. "Riley is your best friend. You love her dearly. Why would you say ew if you acted like her?"

Maya - "Yes Riley is my best friend and I absolutely love her to pieces. I also love the fact that she is always happy and bubbly, and a sappy ray of sunshine. But that is not me. And when I act that way even for a few seconds." Maya throws her index finger up and her voice rises. "Which doesn't happen very often, I kinda get a sick feeling in my stomach."

Farkle just snorts.

Maya glares over at the boy genius. "Excuse me? Did you just snort at me?"

Farkle - "I did." He chimed confidently.

Maya - "Care to explain yourself." Maya asks still glaring.

Farkle - "Ok. Everyone knows you are the little rebel with the hard shell. But for those of us who really know you, your real friends, we know you're just as soft and lovey dovey as Riley is."

Maya's glare hardens. "You don't plan on living a long life do ya Robot?"

Farkle - "Well if my death is by your hands, then I'm sure I'll die the happiest man in the world."

Maya's glare turns to a look of mild bewilderment and disgust. "And you say I'm twisted?"

Farkle just looks at her and grins.

Zay clears his throat trying to get Maya's and Farkle's attention. Maya then looks over at her other 2 friends. "Right. So? Paintball?"

Smackle - Yes. Everyone vs everyone. Last person standing wins.

Zay - "And you guys are all going down."

Maya - "That's so cute Ballet Boy. But believe me I will destroy all of you."

Farkle - "Back here for milk shakes afterwards?"

Maya/Smackle/Zay - "Of course." They all say cheerfully in unison.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

The group have been playing paintball for a while now. Maya has found a little fort to hide in and watch out of. She was so concentrated on watching to see when her opponents came out she didn't hear someone come up behind her. He got close enough to her to whisper in her ear.

Farkle - "I'll make a deal with you."

Maya practically jumps out of her skin. "Jesus Farkle you scared the hell out of me!"

Still in her ear Farkle continues. "I won't shoot you and take you out of the game if you give me a kiss."

Maya forces Farkle to back away so she can turn around and look at him. "That's your genius plan? You don't kill me out of the game and I give you a kiss?"

Farkle - "It's a win win Maya. You get to continue to play and I get something I always wanted." He can't help but give her a huge grin.

Maya - "You've grown quite a set there lately Minkus. What's up with that?"

Farkle - "Well I can't be a squeaky little mouse the rest of my life Hart." Farkle replies.

Maya - "You haven't been a squeaky little mouse for a long time now Farkle."

Farkle - 'Thanks Maya. So does this mean?" He start to close in on Maya but she stops him by literally face palming him.

Maya - "You're still dreaming Robot, and don't make out with my hand again."

Farkle backs away. "You loved it and you know it." He says with a smirk.

Maya - "It was weird." she says in defense.

Farkle - "You said it wasn't bad."

Maya's eyes fall to the ground and she is doing everything to make the smile that so badly wants to appear stay off her face. But she can't stop the slight pink tinge that comes across her face.

Farkle - "Hey are you?"

Maya - "NO!" She cuts him off quickly.

Farkle - "Oh but I think you are Maya." Farkle continues to play with Maya.

Maya - "Hey Farkle how bad you wanna keep that set you've grown lately?" Maya asks as she gestures down with her eyes basically telling Farkle to do the same without words. Farkle looks down to see that Maya has her paint ball gun pointed in a not so nice area to have any kind of gun pointed.

Farkle - "ALRIGHT! ALRIGHT! I'll stop, just relax and put that thing... anywhere else."

Maya - Alright, I'll make you a deal."

Farkle looks at her curiously. "What kind of deal?"

Maya - "Simple. You and me team up and take everybody else out. That way we both win."

Farkle really looks at her questionably now. "But Maya, it's everyone vs everyone."

Maya - "Yea but no definite rule was made that we couldn't team up at any time?"

Farkle just laughs now. "That's what everyone vs everyone means Maya."

With Farkle's gun down by his side now, Maya realizes she has the upper hand . "Fine. Then I'll just take you out now." She points her pb gun in the same area she had it before.

Farkle - "OK! OK! God Maya! Stop pointing your damn gun there!"

Maya and Farkle went on to become a team and "won" the game even though their opponents weren't too happy about the way they did it. The 4 friends are now making their way into the diner for their after game milkshake. They all sit in a corner booth and tell the waitress their order. As they wait for their order they continue to argue.

Smackle - "It was suppose to be everyone vs everyone! No teaming up!"

Maya - "There was no rule saying we couldn't." Maya argues back.

Zay - "That's what everyone vs every one, last person standing wins means Maya."

Maya - "You guys are just mad you lost."

Smackle - "We didn't lose, you 2 cheated. If you wanted to do teams why didn't you just say so to begin with?"

Farkle finally speaks up. "We didn't have it planned from the beginning. It just sort of happened."

Zay - "How's that?"

Farkle - "Well,lets just say a certain...part of me was threatened." He says as he looks at Maya.

Maya - "OH HELL NO! Are you kidding me? You're throwing me under the bus?! None of this would have happened if you would have taken me out instead of trying to blackmail me!"

Farkle - "She's got a point." Farkle simply says smiling.

Smackle looks at Farkle confused. "How did you try to blackmail her?"

Farkle - "Uhhh, oh hey look our shakes are here." Farkle says instead of answering the question.

The 4 friends sucked down their shakes then continued to visit for a little while.

Smackle - "Ok well Zay and I are going over to his house for a movie night. We'll see you guys later."

They all say bye to each other and Zay and Smackle leave.

Farkle looks over at Maya. "So you still got some fight in ya? We could go to my place and kill some zombies."

Maya - "Sure why not."

So Farkle and Maya finished and paid for their shakes and left to go to Farkle's.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

As Farkle and Maya made their way into Farkle's apartment Farkle told Maya to go and set the video game up, as he went to his bedroom for a minute. As he came out he called out to Maya. "Hey you up for Chinese? I could call and have some ordered?"

Maya - "Really? Yea that sounds great!"

Farkle - "Ok what do you want?"

Maya - "Orange Chicken and Chicken Fried Rice!" Maya said with a gleam in her eye thinking of the delicious food.

Farkle - "You got it."

As Farkle ordered the food Maya got the game ready.

Farkle - "Alright food is ordered and will be here in 30-45 minutes. Ready to kill some zombies?"

Maya - "They're not gonna complain that we're teaming up are they?" Maya asked with a small smirk.

Farkle - "I doubt it." He says smiling back at Maya.

They played the video game for a while before the food came. Once the food came Farkle got it all ready and brought it out for him and Maya to eat.

Farkle - "So wanna watch some Big Bang Theory while we eat?"

Maya - "Sure."

So Farkle turned on netflix and set up to watch BBT. He had his laptop connected to his TV so they could watch it on his big screen. They watched the Halloween episode where Leonard, Raj, and Howard pranked Sheldon in the beginning. At the end of the episode both Maya and Farkle bust out laughing when Sheldon pops up from inside the couch dressed as a zombie scaring and getting back at Leonard. "Bazinga punk!"

They watch another couple episode before returning to the game. While playing Farkle can't help but notice Maya laughing to herself. "What's so funny Hart?"

Maya continues to laugh a little harder this time. Farkle pause the game and asks again. "Seriously. What's so funny?"

Maya - "I'm sorry I threatened to shoot your new set off earlier with my paintball gun." She apologizes now through tears of laughter.

Farkle - "I'd accept the apology Maya if it wasn't for 2 things. Number 1 while you were apologizing you were laughing so hard you cried. And number 2 calling them a new set is very offensive. They've always been there Maya."

Maya puts her hand on Farkle's lap. "Sorry Farkle, I would never do or say anything to purposely offend or hurt you."

Farkle smiles "I know Maya." They go back to playing the game. After a whlie of having fun killing zombies Farkle speaks up again. "You know Maya, We make quite the team."

Maya - "Yea, imagine if we ever go seriously psycho all the damage we could do."

Farkle - "Again Maya seriously twisted. But I guess I kind of walked in to that one seeing the situation."

Maya looks at her watch. "Damn I guess I should get going home, it's already 10:30." She gets up and goes to grab her coat. As she is putting it on Farkle walks over to her.

Farkle - "I'll give you a ride home."

Maya - "It's ok Farkle I can get home by myself, I'm a big girl."

Farkle - "I know that Maya, but it's late and dark and I worry about you."

Maya - "I know Farkle. Thank you. Please don't ever stop." Maya reaches up and puts her hand on Farkle's cheek. This surprises Farkle at first but he then just leans his cheek more into Maya's hand. When Maya realizes what she is doing, her eyes go wide and she pulls away quickly. "Well I suppose I should get going. I'll see ya later Farkle."

Farkle looks a little disappointed but then tells Maya good bye. Maya walks out the door and to the subway station.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Maya makes her way home and goes directly to her room. Before she gets ready for bed she sees her sketch pad. Interested in seeing what she drew yesterday she opened it up. Again a lot of times when Maya draws she doesn't realize what it is until she is done. She just lets her mind, heart, and hands do the job. When she opens it to the new pic her eyes go wide again and she is in shock. "No, no, no, no." Looking at the drawing she thinks back on a couple things that have happened between yesterday and today. They weren't mind boggling situation but definitely things out of the ordinary. "Nope. Not happening." She drops the sketchpad and decides to get ready for bed.
