The 13 Days of Rucas
Hello, my fellow readers. It is I, the great James Stryker bringing you a new chapter of The 13 Days of Rucas. Okay, so I watched Girl Meets Goodbye yesterday, don't worry I won't bring up any spoilers for the episode but I might have an idea for a prompt based on the series finale for Rucas. I'll have to tune in to the episode Friday and I'll let you know what the prompt is about. I know that some of you have watched the series finale and cried buckets. So, no spoilers. Anyway, it's update time and it's Day Seven. The idea for Day Seven popped in my head because of the episode Girl Meets Her Monster and Lucas, Zay, Farkle and everybody in Riley and Maya's class watch the show Red Planet Diaries and I began to wonder, how did Lucas get into Red Planet Diaries? Maybe he was binge watching it with Riley one day. In Day Seven, Zay and Farkle learn that Lucas watches Red Planet Diaries and they tease him, so Riley defends him. Ladies and gentlemen: I present to you Day Seven of The 13 Days of Rucas. Enjoy. BTW, Riley and Lucas are in their freshman year of high school
Day Seven
A Closeted Fan
Riley defends Lucas after Zay and Farkle tease him.
It was just another busy Friday morning in Abigail Adams High School, students were leaving class after first period and it was now time for second period, which is World History. Lucas, Zay and Farkle left Spanish class, walking over to their locker to grab their World History textbooks before talking about the biggest sporting event that everyone in the whole school will be talking about Monday, the UFC Fight Night match between Yair Rodriguez and BJ Penn.
"Man, I've been waiting for Fight Night." Zay said, closing his locker door shut after grabbing his textbook. "I can't believe that Smackle would yet you watch it. You told her about it, didn't you?"
"I-I didn't tell her." Farkle said, looking down at his feet.
"What kind of a boyfriend are you? She's your girlfriend and you're supposed to tell her things like that." Zay said.
"What do you think I should tell her? "Hey, Smackle. I won't be able to make it to our date tomorrow, I'm going to watch an UFC match with Zay over at his place." Yeah, until she kills me in my sleep!" Farkle exclaimed.
"There's going to be unlimited chicken wings. With honey barbecue sauce. What's not to love?" Zay asked, then turned to Lucas who was busy getting his notebook. "What about you, Lucas? Do you have something planned with Riley or are you coming over to watch the UFC match with us?"
"Oh, uh, I have something planned for tomorrow." Lucas said.
"With Riley?" Farkle asked.
"Uh, yeah. With Riley." Lucas said.
"What are you two going to do?" Zay asked.
"I rather not tell you. It's something that Riley and I shouldn't discuss with our friends. Well, except for Maya because ring power." Lucas said as he continued to go through his locker and began to hum the theme song to a certain show that Riley watches. Hearing Lucas humming the song made Farkle and Zay's eyes widen in shock and their jaws dropped. They could not believe that Lucas watches the show.
"No way!" Zay gasped.
"He couldn't. That's not our Lucas." Farkle whispered.
"I've seen the guy watch Luke Cage, every action movie known to man, conquer a bull and get into fights. And now he watches that show with his girlfriend?" Zay asked.
"Well, maybe he doesn't watch the show with Riley. It's more of a Riley & Maya thing." Farkle said.
"Oh, really?" Zay asked as an idea popped in his head before telling Farkle his plan. Zay finished telling Farkle his plan and walked over to Lucas while Farkle pulls his phone out. "Hey, Lucas."
"Yeah, Zay." Lucas replied.
"Let me ask you a question, do you know the lyrics to the Ducktales theme?" Zay asked.
"I think I only know a few lyrics of the song. Uh, what is it? Uh. Life is like a hurricane here in Duckburg. Race cars, lasers, aeroplanes…." Lucas said, memorizing the lines to a classic Disney show, then he was caught off-guard by Farkle playing the music to the theme song of Red Planet Diaries.
"It feels like you're lightyears away!" Lucas sang as Farkle and Zay both gasped.
"I knew it!" Zay exclaimed, pointing a finger at Lucas. "I knew it! You watch the show!"
"No, I don't!" Lucas yelled.
"Oh, really? Then why did I play the theme music and you started singing the song instead of Ducktales, huh? Try and answer that, Huckleberry." Farkle said.
"Ugh! Alright, fine. I'm a fan of Red Planet Diaries. Happy?! After we got back from the ski lodge trip, I went over to Riley's to check on her to see how she's recuperating after injuring her right foot, she was in her room watching Red Planet Diaries on her laptop by the bay window. I bought her a sandwich and cake for her to snack on. She was watching the show and all of a sudden, I sat down with her and we watched it together. Then, I found myself singing the song with Riley. Guess you can say that I'm a fan of the show. Riley and I have been watching the show ever since. Then one day, Maya tagged along to watch the show with us and she started teasing me about it." Lucas said.
"I can see why because the triangle sucked the life out of you. And now because you've been watching a show for chicks with your girlfriend, she now turned you into a complete wuss." Zay said, stopping Lucas dead in his tracks. The Texan turned around and gave his best friend the death glare.
"Wuss? Did you call me a wuss?" Lucas asked.
"Yeah." Zay replied.
"Did you just call me a wuss?" Lucas asked.
"It's true, Lucas. You're turning into a complete sissy." Farkle said.
"Excuse me?" A voice said in an offended tone. Farkle and Zay turned around, only to see a certain brown-haired girl walking next to her friend with blonde hair. The two girls were revealed to be Riley and Maya.
"Did you just call my boyfriend a "wuss"? Riley asked, crossing her arms at Farkle and Zay, "Well? I need an answer from both of you."
"W-w-we didn't mean him. I mean, we weren't making fun of him." Zay lied as Riley gave him a look.
"Hey, hey, hey. Only I'm the one that should be making fun of Huckleberry." Maya chuckled as Riley turned to her.
"You can't make fun of him too. Guys, I'm not going to stand there and let you poke fun at Lucas. Maya, you keep calling my boyfriend names like Ranger Rick, Huckleberry and so much more." Riley said.
"Because he likes it." Maya said.
"I do not." Lucas said as Maya sighed.
"But you tease him and put him down the most. That's disrespecting me by insulting Lucas and not respecting our relationship." Riley said.
"You're right, Riles. I should respect you relationship with Lucas but that doesn't mean that the names will stop." Maya said.
"Maya." Riley looked at Maya.
"Fine. Lucas, I'm sorry for making fun of you." Maya apologized.
"I forgive you, Maya." Lucas said.
"And as for you two. You two shouldn't make fun of Lucas like that. I am glad that he is able to sit down and watch a show that I really like with me. That's what makes him the best boyfriend ever. I mean, you two would do the same with your girlfriends. Farkle, didn't you watch that movie where Eddie Redmayne played Stephen Hawking and Zay you watched Titanic with Vanessa." Riley said as Zay and Farkle tried to hide the fact that they watch chick flicks with their girlfriends.
"Uh…." Zay said.
"Zay, didn't you sing that one song from Celine Dion that was playing during the end credits of Titanic?" Lucas asked.
Riley and Maya both look at Zay with a big smile on their faces from Lucas revealing that his best friend listens to Celine Dion. Both Farkle and Zay looked at each other for a bit before running to class with Maya right behind them, leaving Riley and Lucas alone with each other.
"Thanks for defending me, Riley." Lucas said.
"Anytime." Riley said, smiling at Lucas.
And Day Seven is now completed. Yay for Riley defending her man. Next time on The 13 Days of Rucas, Day Eight and it is about Lucas proposing to Riley. And where else to propose to your loved one, at a Knicks game in Madison Square Garden. It's been awhile since I've watched a basketball game so if anyone knows a thing about basketball and want to help me out with Day Eight, feel free to do so. Don't forget to review this story, add this to your favorites and follow it for future updates. That's seven days down, only six to go and I already have Day Nine planned out.
