As Maya said goodbye to Farkle and promised that she would keep him updated the doctor came back out to tell them that she was awake but she had a memory loss of a few things and that if they wanted to see her she could handle 2 people at a time. They agreed that Farkle would go in first the Maya and Josh, finally Lucas would go in and spend the night while Maya and Josh would go back to the house and notify Riley's parents who would stop by in the morning.
Farkle went in and Talked to her for about half an hour and they talked about the past new years and who was going to come in next and so on and so forth. He said that he had to go back to his job and they ran into the first memory loss so far. She asked what he did and he told her then he gave her a hug and left. On his way out he saw that Maya just about ran into him on her way in.
Maya almost tackled her with a hug except Riley scooted over to give Maya room to sit down. Josh walked in slowly and went to give Riley a hug.
"Who are you and why did they let you in my room?" She hid behind Maya and asked her to send him out. "Send in the next person the doctor said that the next person was staying overnight. Just make him leave!" Riley started to panic.
Maya started to explain who Josh was but Josh didn't want to overwhelm her. He got up and told Maya that he'd send Lucas in. Maya gave him a peck and he walked out. Riley asked if that was her boyfriend and Maya held out her left hand. Riley looked down at her own hand and saw a princess cut black diamond ring that looked to be at least 10 carats. Lucas walked in and went to give Riley a kiss. She flipped and told him to get away because she was engaged.
"Riles, this is Lucas you fiancée." Maya explained slowly and Riley couldn't believe her friend.
" Prove it, tell me something that only Maya, me, and Farkle know." She thought that he would never guess the new years thing that Farkle and her talked about unless he was THAT Lucas.
"Okay, on new years of 2016, I was standing next to Maya and Farkle was with Smackle, You were with Charlie at the beginning of the night. At midnight you tried to take off but Farkle had given you till midnight to tell how you really felt and since you didn't he told everyone that you were still in love with me. Before we all ended up on the bench Farkle told you that he did the right thing and that he hopes that you would forgive him. Which it seems you have." Lucas didn't know how much detail she wanted so he continued with a new scenario, "Also in 7th grade I asked your father to go out on a date with you and you kept cutting me off already answering the question. When we met on the subway I told you that even though that jus t happened that I would remember that forever. Then later Maya dropped you in my lap again and you told me this exact thing 'You know how you said how some things we remember forever' then you kissed me and it was just a small little peck but then Farkle kissed Maya's hand." He finished exampling and sat beside her finishing with, "So Riley Matthews. Even if you don't ever remember me I will always remember you because you have changed my life for good. If you do remember me I would like to marry you I mean I did spend $800 on that ring that you are currently wearing."
Riley looked back down at the ring. Suddenly a memory came back. It was just a fraction but it made her cry. "I remember you Lucas, somewhat. All I can remember is Maya telling my dad something and a knot ring, then me crying into your chest. That's all I remember though. Maya? What did you say to my dad?" Maya couldn't answer though all she could tell Riley is that she was drunk and she couldn't remember.
Riley said she was tired and she hugged Maya goodbye and gave Lucas a peck like she saw Maya do with Josh. Lucas almost let it slide but he got an idea. " Hey you, I know you can't remember but you never learn anyways. I don't like pecks, now are you going to give me a real kiss or not?" She nodded then remembered another memory. She remembered him combing his hair and she surprised him with a quick kiss and went to go get her shoes. Forgetting about his hair he chased her out into the living room and into the mud room. He finally cornered her and got a full kiss. She giggled and he laughed. Her laugh was his favorite sound.
"Hey, what's so funny? " Lucas tried to be serious. She told him the memory of the kiss, then kissed him quick and hid under the covers sealing all entry ways. He didn't want to press his luck so he waited for her to come out on her own then gave her a full kiss and sat in the chair that he was sleeping in. She turned to look at him and smiled.
"You know how you said how some things we remember forever?" Lucas nodded. "Well I hope to never forget you again. I won't forget this night!" Lucas smiled at that and he got up to go to the vending machine. He thought about it and decided that he would wait until she was asleep.
"Hey, City Girl any new memories yet?" Riley shook her head. "Well who do you remember?"
"Well, you, Maya, Farkle, Auggie, Mom, and Dad. Should I be remembering someone else?" Riley just wanted this nightmare to be over. Why couldn't she remember that guy who is apparently married to her best friend? He looked like someone she knew but she didn't know who. She felt something click and she remembered something else.
'You know how I feel about pecks. I don't care for them. I prefer these!" He got her again and she completely complied. "Now we have to go get Maya, Farkle, and Josh from the airport.'
'JOSH! That was his name! Now who was he? Eh, I think tomorrow I'm too tired right now.' Riley looked at Lucas as she drifted to sleep.
