Chapter 3

LucasXRiley

"Maya!" Riley called out to her best friend at her locker after school had ended, "Look Lucas is over there!"

"Are you going to go talk to him?" She said like she always did.

"I don't know. Should I? What if I say something stupid? What he says something stupid?" She panicked asking herself questions. Maya chuckled and turned Riley around. She pushed the goofy brunette towards her current crush.

"Thank you…" Riley mumbled as she landed near Lucas. "Hello Lucas."

"Hi Riley, what's up?" Lucas asked with a smirk enjoying her presence. Riley giggled and responded with something dumb like 'the sky.'

Farkle came running over to Maya. He slammed her locker closed, "Why do you do that? I do not get it now. It made some sense before, but even then I thought that maybe you liked Lucas… Obviously that is not the case, but still why would you push the person you like into the arms of another?"

Maya rolled her eyes, "For the same reason you helped her learn to flirt. I want her to be happy. And just like you, I know she could never like me." Maya poked his nose to prove that she had won the argument.

"Oh… hey!" Farkle yelled offended by what she had implied. "She could like me!"

"Yeah right, Farkle!" She called as she waltzed towards their bus. Her flower patterned skirt puffed out as she walked powerfully in her green combat boots that match the leaves of the flowers. She slipped onto the bus the way she always has, in a cool manner. Farkle followed behind her, and then Lucas.

"Hey Farkle!" Lucas called out and went in the two-seater with Farkle instead of in the seat with Maya like the day before. "Guess who I have a movie date with on Friday?"

"Oh wow, you got a date… shocker," Farkle mutter jealously.

"Yeah, correct, how could you have possibly guessed it on your first try buddy?" Lucas joked sarcastically. "How did you know it was Riley?"

"Anyone could have guessed that," Farkle folded his arms.

Lucas laughed, "Except for you, because like I pointed out, you did not guess." Farkle stuck his tongue out at the boy.

"So you finally found the guts to ask her out, Ranger Rick?" Maya teased.

"Actually, I was not the one who asked. She asked me out," Lucas stated proudly shocking both Farkle and Maya.

"She asked you out?" Maya questioned.

"Yes, ma'am!" Lucas smirked.

"Ohhhh!" Maya shivered angrily.

"Hello Mrs. Matthews," Maya greeted when Topanga answered the door.

"Maya? You used the door?" Topanga questioned instantly.

"I know right, is Riley here?"

"She is in her room. It would have been a lot easier if you did what you normally did," she pointed out.

"Yeah… for some reason I did not feel like doing that." Maya had to use the time getting down the stairs to think of how she was going to approach Riley. She knew that Riley would be all jumpy and excited and that she would have to share her friends feeling. However, she was not convinced that she could be happy that Riley was going to go out with Lucas.

Maya walked towards Riley's room. "Maya!" Riley jumped out from her room at her best friend. "Did you hear? Was he talking about it? Do you know? Do you know?" She bombarded Maya with questions, while tightly squeezing the blonde's shoulders.

"Yes, yes I heard. Can you let go? You are going to break me."

"Sorry," Riley shrugged and they went into her room. "So did you hear? I asked him out! I actually did it! And I thought he was going to laugh at me or say no, but he said yes! Maya, he said yes to going out with me! That means he's gotta like me!"

"I know, good job kid. I knew you had it in you," Maya said her line like she had practiced on the apartment stairs.

"We are going to the movie on Friday, which is only two days away! What do I do? What do I say? What do I wear? Oh god- What do I wear?! Help meeeee!" She wined running over to her closet. "Maya help!" She said again.

"Wear what you want to wear. If he likes you then it should not matter."

"So… I am hearing a fancy dress?" Riley giggled and pulled out a ball gown style dress that was Topanga's a few years ago.

"Riles, you are going to a movie, not prom," Maya sighed and got up from Riley's bed, which she had been sitting on. She looked through the closet with Riley, trying to see what would be the most suiting.

"How about these pants with this shirt? Is that okay?" Riley tried and Maya shook her head. She started laying out an outfit on the ground.

"Do you have a white scarf?" She asked Riley.

"Yeah," She pulled one off the top shelve of her closet, "here."

Maya grunted, "Damn you, being so tall." They both laughed. Maya continued to finalize the outfit's touches. Riley kept looking anyway, even though she would only get rejected by Maya. "There!" The newest fashion guru stood up and pointed to the outfit on the ground. There was a nice black and white plaid little skirt with black buttons, a playful red top to bring color into the ensemble, white tights to put under the skirt, a black jacket, the white scarf, and black flats.

"That's awesome! Good thinking!" Riley applauded.

Maya smiled, "Yeah, I think you would look cute in it." She reverted her eye contact away from Riley and back to the clothes.

"Thanks for helping me! This is perfect, because it's not too fancy, but not to causal either. What would I do without you?" Riley hugged her best friend tightly.

"You would suffer, what can I say?" Maya joked and hugged her back.

A/N: Thanks for all the reviews kids! I am glad you are enjoying this pairing, but do not be surprised if I mess everything up, like Riley and Lucas date... that could go well. (Not foreshadowing, what?) Anyway, thanks for reading, and as always please let me know what you think by leaving a review.
