I know, this is a bit of a tease, but I needed to set the stage for the next part. The actual road trip will start tomorrow ;) Thanks for all of the support I've already gotten for this story. *Fist bump*
The next day...
Maya, being an early riser, woke up first and was sitting on the edge of Riley's bed, thinking about what adventurex
Soon after, Riley woke up. Maya didn't seem notice that Riley had woken up, so Riley decided to attempt to scare her. She slowly sat up, watching Maya as to make sure she wasn't paying attention. She scooted over so she was right behind Maya and quickly hugged her from behind yelling, "gotcha!"
Maya just smiled and kissed her cheek." 'Good morning, Riles. Did you sleep well?"
Riley looked bewildered. "How did you know?!"
Maya laughed. "You aren't exactly a ninja when it comes to sneaking up on me."
Riley loosely draped her arms around Maya and settled her chin on her shoulder.
Maya leaned her head against Riley's and smiled again. "Are you ready for adventure, Riles?"
Riley grinned. "I'm more than ready for adventure."
"Riley and Maya, taking on the world once again!" Maya excitedly added.
Riley raised the hand with their friendship ring on it. "Ring power!"
"Ring power!"
"Thunder!"
"Lighting!" Maya then looked at riley and asked, "forever?"
Riley took Maya's hand. "Forever," she promised.
They two sat there in a comfortable silence for a while, Maya now leaning back against Riley's shoulder. They soon heard Cory call them down for breakfast.
Then Shawn added that it was pancakes.
The two looked at each other and yelled, "pancakes!" They then scrambled to the kitchen to eat pancakes.
Cory and Shawn looked at each other and smiled.
"They're us," Shawn said.
