When Riley, her grandparents and aunt and uncle came out of the terminal Riley ran over to Farkle and squealed whilst everyone looked on in amusement.
"I missed you so much, it's been like forever, good god man do you ever answer your phone!" to shut her up Farkle kissed her on the lips and laughed when she pulled back looking dazed. Morgan laughed at them whilst the boys minus Corey were staring at Farkle like he had some sort of mystical power.
"You got her to shut up, are you god" Morgan slapped him upside the head.
"Shut up lil bro just because you left your girlfriend back home" he frowned
"At least I have another person in my life" Morgan was about to reply when Alan yelled at them both.
"Jesus it's like you're all kids again, can we just get Riley and Farkle home before Corey kills them" it was at that point that everyone noticed the lovebirds were laughing and giggling whilst Corey glared at them. Morgan smiled and pushed Corey forward.
"Come on big bro, let's get you all home."
At home Topanga and Shawn had everything set up whilst Zay, Charlie and Smackle entertained Auggie but when Auggie saw his big sister enter the room he dropped his game and ran into Riley.
"Riley!" she laughed and hugged him.
"Hey aug, missed me?" he nodded feverishly and grinned like a Cheshire cat.
"I thought you weren't gonna come back and I would have to wait till mummy and daddy could take me to you" she smiled
"Well, a little birdy told me your Christmas wish was to have your big sister home for Christmas and really who could say no to you and the man in the big red suit now, can you?" Everyone smiled warmly at the interaction between the siblings who had somehow still remained close. Auggie was eventually ran upstairs to get Riley her card and Riley turned to everyone else. Smackle hugged her first.
"I'm glad you're back, Farkle was going stir crazy" she blushed and as the others hugged her she felt her heart lighten but when she turned to hug her Uncle Shawn she felt apprehensive. He grinned at her and pulled her into one of the warmest hugs ever.
"We'll talk later Riley" she nodded and wiped away her happy tears. The night roared as everyone welcomed her home. After everyone but Farkle and Zay had left the trio fell onto the couch.
"I'm glad you're back Smiley" she laughed at Zay's nickname for her.
"Me too Zay, thanks for you know…" she trailed off and everyone looked towards Zay to make her feel better.
"Lying to Lucas? You needed my help Riles and if lying to Lucas or bending the truth got you better I would do it in a heartbeat. I know he's my best friend but you deserved it more lately and I would never regret helping you" there was silence that was only broken by Zay's phone beeping, He looked at the message
"My mum's here, I gotta go but Riley? I'm awfully glad you're home" Zay left. Riley looked towards her boyfriend adoringly.
"You know I'm glad I can spend all day with you now" he chuckled and kissed her nose
"I might miss Skyping but being able to kiss you whenever is a bonus" he leant down and kissed her slowly before being interrupted by Auggie.
"Oy I'm her brother!" they pulled apart and laughed as Auggie tried to grab Riley's attention and had managed to situate himself between the couple. He pulled out a photo album and flicked through a few pictures, explaining that in those two months Riley had disappeared that he had taken photos of everything and anything that seemed interesting. The adults looked at them in happiness that Riley was finally home and she was a lot better. Now she needed to meet Maya and Lucas and everything would be just fine.
