Part One: Special Moments

Since this the last chapter of the story. I decided to put it into three parts. Also, I forgot to add the second senior trip, which was to Disneyworld. From my experience, I actually went to Disneyland but it was still super fun and I loved that the entire park was closed just for us and we literally stayed up all night. But please enjoy the longest chapter ever.

Cory's POV:

"So, Riley. I have some good news." I said at the dinner table. "What is it?" she asked. "Well, I spoke with the school principal, and I finally convinced him to let you go on the senior trip to Disneyland." I said. "What?" she said. "Yeah, I turned in the forms and paid the bill and this weekend you'll be able to go to Disneyland with your friends. Nothing but staying up all night and running around the park." I said. "Dad, thank you so much!" she said as she ran over and gave me a hug. "Anything for my sweetheart, I know how much you wanted to go on this trip, so I pulled a few strings." I said.

Riley's POV:

After dinner, I ran upstairs to tell Maya the good news. "Maya! Guess what!" I said. "What?" she asked. "I get to go to Disneyland with you guys!" I said. "Yay! This trip just got so much better!" she said. "But don't tell Lucas, I want it to be a surprise." I said. "Don't worry, my lips are sealed. But I'm so happy you're coming. I didn't want to be stuck with Farkle and a depressed huckleberry." She said. "Yeah, I know you wouldn't want that." I said. "So were doing this huh?" Maya asked. "Yes, we are!" I said. After we got off the phone, I started to plan out my surprise for Lucas.

Farkle's POV:

"So, what's been going on with you?" Lucas asked as we worked out. "What do you mean?" I asked. "You've been acting weird lately, and not just any kind of weird, it's the kind when you like someone." He said. "I don't know what you're talking about." I said. "Tell me who it is." He said. I stayed silent. "Come on, were like brothers. You can tell me anything." He said as he sat down on the bench. "Alright, I mean I apologize in advance for not telling you sooner. Because Riley knows." I said. "You don't need to apologize man." He said. "I think I'm in love with Maya." I said. "Maya?" he asked. "Yeah, I got it bad and it sucks because were best friends and I never thought that it would end up like this." I said. "You never thought you would have feelings for her? Weren't you obsessed with Riley and Maya your whole life?" he asked. "Well, yeah I loved them and I still do. But it's so different now. Were all grown up and everything has changed. I mean I've always loved Maya, but I was a kid back then. I didn't really know what love was. I just knew that I adored Riley and Maya very much. But I never thought that I would have developed such strong passionate feelings for one of them." I said. "I mean maybe, I'll tell her after college." I joked.

"Why don't you go for it? It's better to tell her now than never." he asked. "She's moving across the world. How would that even be possible?" I asked. "Well, I mean if you really loved her, you would do anything just to see her. That's part of the reason why I chose to go to USC, to be closer to Riley. Because I want her in my future. Nothing is impossible when it comes to love." He said. "Yeah, you have a point there. But things are going to change between us. They already have. I mean I don't want our little teasing to stop." I said. "And it won't. I know you two, it will be your little thing." He said. "I hope so. Anyways, I'm glad were going to Disneyland tomorrow. Hopefully, I get to spend some quality time with her. I mean we had some fun at senior sunset and I'm sorry Riley can't go. I know how much you were looking forward to spending time with her and let's pray we don't have another Amber incident." I said. "I hope not. I mean I don't want to go without her. But she's making me go, she doesn't want me to miss the last senior trip." he said. "I'll probably hang out with some of the guys from team so that I wouldn't intrude on your time with Maya." He said. "You don't have to." I said. "No, but I want to. So you can see if there really is something between you two." He said.

*The Next Day*

Riley's POV:

"Okay, I have everything I need." I said as I put my stuff in the car. "Okay, have fun sweetie and we'll see you when you get back." My dad said. "I'm still shocked that you're not going." I said. "I'm pretty shocked myself." He said. "Okay, I love you guys." I said as I kissed my parents goodbye. "See you in twenty four hours!" My mom yelled as I started my car and drove off. First, I had to stop and pick up Maya and after that we headed off for the school. "It's 2am. This is way too early for me." she said. "I know, but I mean were going to spending 24 hours, in Disneyland together. It will be worth it, my child." I said. "Are you excited to surprise Lucas?" she asked. "Of course I am-oh shoot." I said. "What?" Maya asked. "We took my car. Lucas is going to know that I'm coming now." I said. "I'll text Farkle and tell him to distract Lucas and get him away from the parking lot. But were all meeting in the gymnasium anyways." Maya said. "Thank you." I said.

We finally pulled into the parking lot and I couldn't contain my excitement. I just wanted to see the look on Lucas's face already. "I am so glad we did not crash the last two minutes." Maya said as we got out of the car. "Sorry, I got a little excited." I said. "A little?" she asked. "Okay, a lot. But does Farkle know were here?" I asked. "Yeah I just texted him." Maya said. We grabbed our bags and left to the gym.

Lucas's POV:

"I am so tired man." I said as Farkle and I put our bags down. "It's going to be worth it." Farkle said. "Not really. I mean I won't have Riley with me." I said. "You guys need to spend some time apart. It's healthy." Farkle said. "I know, but every couple is different and were the ones who have separation anxiety. It is bad." I said. "You don't say." Farkle teased. "Who did Maya sign up with?" I asked. "Well, she was going to sign up with Riley but I guess since Riley can't go. I think she signed up with Smackle and their on bus two." He said. "What bus are we on again?" I asked. "Were on bus three, since bus two got filled up so quickly." Farkle said. "Aww, darn I'm on bus two." I heard someone say. I turned around to find Riley standing there. "Riley?" I said with a huge smile. "Are you just going to stand there?" she asked. I picked her up and spun her around. "What're you doing here?" I asked. "My dad pulled some strings so I get to go on the trip with you guys." She said. "I'm glad you're coming. Now I won't be lonely." I said as I kissed her. "Yeah, but you're going to have to survive 13hours without me." she said. "I won't be able to survive." I said.

We all boarded our buses and Farkle and I took a seat in the middle row. "13 hours of sitting. I don't know if I can do it man." Farkle said. "I can't do it either. But we got this man. We have food, movies, music. We have our phones." I said. "There's so much technology. All I need to do now is take over the world." He said.

Maya's POV:

After 13 hours of movies, music, naps, and taking pictures. We finally made it to Disneyworld. "I bet you Lucas is waiting for you once you get off this bus." I said to Riley. "I don't think so. I mean he has to follow his bus driver's order." She said. "What if he runs pass the driver, hops off the bus, jumped on this bus and takes you away?" I asked. "Now you're just being crazy. Even though that sounds like something he would do." she said. "Alright, one row at a time. When I point to your row, you may get up." The bus driver said.

After we got dismissed from the bus, we walked over to our leader to give us instructions. I looked over at bus 2 and they were already talking to their leader. "Huckleberry looks like he just wants to run over here and carry you away." I said. Riley looked over at the other group to find Lucas shooting lovebird eyes at her. "That boy is in love." I said. "Yes, he is. It's adorable." She said as she turned back around to face me. "Okay, you guys can browse for two hours but we have check in at 5pm. Then after that the park is officially all yours. So go have fun!" our leader said. We all separated and Maya purposely dragged me away to the roller coasters. "So, Riley and Maya for the first half of this trip?" I said. "Well, of course." Riley said. "I kind of wanted to spend some quality time with Farkle after check in, to see if there really is something between us." I said.

Lucas's POV:

"Where did Riley go?" I asked. "She's probably spending some time with Maya. You'll probably get to spend time with her after check in." Farkle said. "Well, why can't we all hang out as a group?" I said. "You have a point there. Maybe we will at some point tonight." Farkle said. "I don't want to jinx this. But I feel like our group is falling apart." I said. "Why do you say that?" he asked. "We haven't really been hanging out as a group anymore. If I'm not with you, I'm with Riley, my family or some guys from the team. If you're not with me, you're usually with Maya, Riley or people from the debate team. If Riley and Maya aren't with one of us, they're either with each other or with other people. The last time we ever hung out as a group was prom. That was last month." I said. "Wow, I guess you're right. But maybe this separation is good. We don't have to hang out every single day as a group and when we do, we make moments that last forever. So don't worry too much about the group falling apart because were not." Farkle said.

"I think I see Riley and Maya." Farkle said. But before he could say anything else, I was already making my way over to them. As soon as I caught up to them, I wrapped my arms around Riley. "I wonder who this could be." She said sarcastically. She turned around and wrapped her arms around my waist. "Hi." She said with that adorable smile of hers. "Hi." I said. "Let's not have a repeat of eighth grade." Maya said. "So how long do we have until check in?" Farkle asked. "We should head there now." Maya said. "Are you guys just going to stand there and stare at each other or are you guys coming?" Farkle said.
We quickly snapped out of it and followed Maya and Farkle to the check in building.

Rileya's POV:

"Maya hart?" our leader called out. She was doing a head count and making sure that everyone was here. I looked over at the other group and Lucas was standing there making faces at me. I smiled and looked back over at my leader. "Riley Matthews?" our leader called out. "Right here." I said as I raised my hand. She checked off my name and continued to call out others. Once she finished, she went over rules and precautions. "Alright, the park is yours! If you have any questions or if something happens do not hesitate to get help! There will be supervisors all over the park. Have fun seniors!" she said as we all ran out the door. "Well, I'll see you at the rave tonight." Maya said as she walked over to Farkle. "Are you ready for a magical night with your one and only?" Lucas said as he came up behind me. "But my one and only is with Farkle." I joked. "Ha, very funny." He said as he put his arm around me. "So what do you want to do first?" he asked. "Let's go see Dolphins!" I said as I took him by the hand and dragged him off.

Farkle's POV:

After a few hours of riding all of the rides in Magic kingdom, we finally sat down. "Did we really just do that?" Maya asked with a laugh. "Yeah, I guess we did. It was very fun. It's always fun with you." I said. Maya's cheeks began to turn red and a huge smile spread across her face. "Likewise. I'm glad were best friends." She said. "Me too." We sat there and looked at each other for a moment. Everything seemed right. "So, are you ready to live in Italy for the next four years?" I asked. "Yeah, I am. But I'm coming back afterwards because I don't want to be so far away." she said. "Why?" I asked. "Well, I know we're all going to be separated for four years, but I know we're all going to come back to New York." She said. I frowned. "Maya, I don't think that's going to happen." I said. "And why not?" she asked. "Because after college, things aren't going to go back to the way they were. We're growing up Maya." I said. "Don't be insane, of course we're going to come back to our lives in New York." She said. "Maya, we're not. Riley and Lucas are probably going to move somewhere else after college and I'm probably going to stay in California. I mean we will find time for each other when our lives start to slow down." I said.

"Our families are here. Of course there's a reason to come back here." Maya said. "I know, and of course we will find time for each other but sometimes things don't go as planned you know." I said. "Farkle, we're all going to be together again. I just know. Why don't you?" Maya asked. "Because the reality of this is that we all say were going to stay in touch, catch up but life always catches up to us and we get so busy that we end up being out of touch." I said.

Lucas's POV:

"You just had to choose the front row?" I asked Riley as we got splashed with water. "I wanted to see the dolphins up close." She said. "The things I do for love." I said as I put my arm around her. "So, how do you think things are going to Maya and Farkle?" she asked. "I hope their going good. I really hope they get to tell each other how they feel." I said. "I really hope they do too." Riley said. After we saw the dolphins, we met up with Farkle and Maya and headed to the rave.

The whole night was amazing, we danced, we sang, we went on rides. The best part for me was being able to spend my last senior trip the right way with Riley.

I've kept you guys waiting long enough. I kept having writers block with this. But the next chapter will be better. Because the core four finally graduate together! What's in store for graduation today? What's going to happen between Farkle and Maya? Are they meant to be? Or are they meant to be just friends? Who knows, stay tuned xx
