The office was still filled with a rather uncomfortable silence when they heard Topanga knock on the door,

-"Cory, stop traumatizing those poor kids and Let's Go!"

-"Just a minute honey!"

-"Minute over! We're late!" Cory looked over at the boys,

-"The minute may be over, but this conversation isn't! We will continue this later!"

Lucas and Farkle nodded furiously, Farkle nodding so fast he began to get dizzy,

-"It's happening again sir!" Lucas caught him and scoffed,

-"Dude, keep it together! There's Maya remember?" Farkle suddenly stood up with a grin on his face,

-"Let us go, my friend, Love awaits!"

-"The only thing that awaits us if we don't leave soon is the emergency room…" Lucas thought,

-"Or summer school, whichever comes first!" said Cory as he descended the stairs. Realizing he had said that out loud, Lucas turned a deep shade of red and twitching nervously,

-"Dude, keep it together! There's Riley remember?" Said Farkle in a matter-of-fact tone as he passed by him. Lucas rolled his eyes and followed him downstairs. They went to the living room and took about a million photos like parents typically make you do before any kind of event. First individually. Then the girls together, the boys together, Riley and Farkle, Maya and Lucas, the dates, and a group picture. Cory kept quiet almost the entire time except when Riley and Lucas took their photo together and both Maya and Farkle had to keep him in the kitchen in order to avoid more drama.

After that Farkle dragged Maya downstairs. Riley quickly hugged her mother and Auggie she made a run for the doorway where Lucas was waiting for her, holding his hand out for her. She was about to reach it when Cory stepped in front of her,

-"Hum…hi?"

-"Hum…bye!" She responded and dashed out the door, grabbing Lucas and dragging him away. Cory stood there, dumbfounded. Topanga went up to him and gently stroked his arm,

-" 'Bye'? I just got a bye. She just said 'bye' and left. Gone. Out the door. Out of our lives forever…"

-"Cory! She's back by eleven! Snap out of it! She's thirteen, we still have a good five years before she leaves for college. Plus…we've still got this little cutie!" she gestured to Auggie, "you want to watch cartoons?" she asked him,

-"Yay! Cartoons!" he shouted. Cory picked him up and all three of them sat down on the couch,

-"Let's watch cartoons forever and ever!" declared Cory as he settled his son between him and his wife while Topanga turned on the TV,

-" You know, that Lucas boy is not a bad kid." She said,

-"Doesn't mean he's a good kid either." He replied

-"They're thirteen! What wrong could they possibly do?"

-"Lots of things! Topanga, the thirteen years- old of today aren't the ones we were or our parents were. They're much more…precocious…dangerous. I just don't want Riley to get hurt."

-"I know sweetie, but we can't hide her away from boys forever."

-"Yes we can!"

-"No we can't. How do you think my father felt when we started dating?"

-"That's different. I was always a good boy who'd even think of hurting you."

"Who says Lucas doesn't feel the same way about Riley?"

-"Who said he does?"

-"I guess only time will tell."

-"I don't want time to tell!"

-"I don't want Riley to feel suffocated!"

-"And I don' want to miss my show because you talk so loud!"

-"Sorry Auggie!" the two parents said. Topanga leaned over Riley and whispered in her husband's ear,

-"Our parents gave us a chance. I think it's time we gave Riley a chance too."

-"You're right sweetie." He replied

-"When am I not?" she winked. Auggie threw his hands up in the air,

-"Mommy's always right!" Everyone laughed,

-"You mean Daddy, Auggie. Daddy's always right. Come on, say it. Say Daddy's always right!" Cory encouraged, Auggie turned to him and smiled hos adorable toothless smile,

-Mommy's always right!" Topanga laughed and Cory faked a frown. He crossed his arms and looked back at the TV,

-"Momma's boy…" he mumbled. Topanga smirked, and picked up her son and placed him on her lap before moving to her husband, kissing him softly on the cheek and whispering in his ear,

-" Just like his father." Cory smiled and put an arm over her shoulder and his other hand playing with Auggie's fingers.

Riley, Lucas, Farkle and Maya were walking down the busy streets of New York on the way to the dance. Maya and Farkle were a little ahead and bickering about meaningless things like why did chips and garlic has a bad reputation,

-"For the hundredth time Farkle, garlic has a bad smell and a terrible taste! That's why it has a bad reputation!"

-"Darling, dear. You cannot say that something is terrible just because of how it tastes or smells to you. Tastes are individual to every person, like an opinion. And since not everyone has the same opinion, it must mean people taste things differently!"

-"Thank you Sigmund Freud…"

-"No, I am Farkle!"

Riley giggled and Lucas joined her. They had been walking a little behind their two bickering friends, side by side, wanting to say so many things but too shy to utter a word. Suddenly, Lucas turned to her and said,

-"You know, I didn't get to tell you, back at your house…I was sort of scared with your dad and all...but hum…you look really pretty tonight. Not that you don't look pretty everyday, you do…but hum…yeah…" She blushed,

-" Thanks. You too. I mean...like…handsome…because pretty is for a girl…and your guy…so…" Lucas grabbed her hand, interrupting her confusing speech in a sweet way. They both smiled and blushed. Knowing this was night where lasting memories were going to be made.
