Neither Maya nor Cory could sleep that night. They were too busy thinking about how their lives were going to change in such a short amount of time. Cory wasn't going to apologize to Topanga or Riley because he didn't do anything. Riley lied to Topanga and the fact that Topanga believed Riley over Cory really upset him. Maya on the other hand still had a little bit of hope that things would be ok. She just knew that Riley was going to realize that Emily was awful, she just didn't know when.

The next morning when Cory went to go take his shower for work, the door was locked. "Topanga please let me in I have to shower for work." He told her already irritated enough. "Let me think about it, NO!" She yelled back. "Please, I am not in the mood or have enough energy to fight with you." He whined. "Nope!" she shot back. "Ugh you are literally impossible!" he yelled.

Same thing happened with Riley when he asked to use her shower. He was just going to have to go to work as is, even though his hair looked like a bush. Whenever his hair gets wet and he doesn't wash it for a while it poofs up. He put his head down into his arms as he sat down at the table. "What am I gonna do!" he mumbled. "Hi daddy!" Auggie said as he made his way into the kitchen. "Hey Auggie." He replied as he got up from the table. "Daddy why does your hair look like that?" he asked. "You know what Auggie, I have no idea." He said to him. "It's not that bad, I'm sure mommy will like it." Auggie said as he ate his cereal.

Cory thought back to the last time his hair looked like this the water was broken in the apartment and it was summer time.

The humidity made his hair look horrifying. He couldn't leave the house. Topanga told him that she loved his hair any way it looked. She then kissed him and well they did "some things" after that. After that night he wasn't really insecure about his hair anymore. But that was summer time when he didn't have to go to work and people couldn't see him except for his family.

"Yea I'm sure she'll love it." Cory replied as he made his out of the door. He did not want to face Emily today; he was already in a bad mood as it was. When he walked into the room and turned on the lights, Emily was sitting in his chair. She spun around in the chair to face him.

"The 70's called, they want their hair back." She snickered. "Ha-ha-ha, very funny. Now get out of my chair." He snapped. "Looks like someone's in a mood. Don't worry it will be much worse tonight when you come to my house." she told him as she left the room. Cory had completely forgotten about the dinner. "Ugh." He mumbled to himself. He sat down at his desk and put his head into his arms. He was so tired he thought he might pass out on the floor. He yawned and said "just for five minutes." To himself. And with that he was sleeping like a baby.

Maya walked into the school she saw Emily standing by her locker. She giggled and ran away as when she saw Maya come into her sight. Maya rolled her eyes and unlocked her locker. Inside was a blown up picture of her kissing Lucas. "Oh my god." She said. She dropped her books and she felt dizzy. Maya swallowed hard when she heard her phone going off. She was breathing heavy as she unlocked the phone. It was a group message.

Emily: looks like Maya's a little tongue tied, huh.

And underneath the text was the picture. The text had been sent to almost everyone in the school, including Riley. Maya put her hand over her mouth and started to cry hysterically. "NO, NO THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!" she yelled. Just as she was making her scene in the hallway she received another text.

Riley: how could you do this to me I thought we were best friends! Emily was right you are trouble! Never ever talk to me again!

Maya slumped to the ground; she had no one to turn to. Her life was crumbling down piece by piece. Maya felt her vision going blurry, she felt like she was going to throw up. Maya gently closed her eyes, and hoped that she was just dreaming and that Emily didn't exist and that none of this stuff had ever happened. But of course she wasn't dreaming. Just as Maya was about to doze off someone came over to her and kicked her ankle. She opened her eyes to see Emily standing in front of her. "No one can save you now. I've already broken Mr. Matthews and you've almost cracked. But I'm not going to break you quite yet, I still have a few tricks up my sleeve!" she said just as the first bell rang. She laughed until Maya could no longer hear her.

Maya decided to go to first period just to make sure that Cory was there and that she didn't hurt him or anything. When she walked in everyone was giggling and was crowded around Emily and Riley. They all turned their heads to look at Maya standing in the door way. They all gave her the evil eye and then turned their attention back to Emily and Riley. Maya turned her attention to Mr. Matthews. He had his head down in his arms and he was snoring. "Was he asleep?" Maya thought to herself. She went over to his desk and tapped his shoulder. He shifted his body and continued to sleep. "Mr. Matthews." She said while tapping him. "5 more minutes." He mumbled. She kept tapping him; it was almost as if he was trying to avoid talking to the class. "Topanga that tickles." He mumbled while he gave a sly smile.

Maya lifted her hands into the air and backed away from his desk. She set her bag down in a desk in the back of the room. She tried calling his phone hoping it would go off and he would wake up but his phone broken. She was in a bad enough mood that it didn't really matter what she did. She went to the back of the room and then she pulled the fire alarm. Water started to pour from the sprinklers. Everyone shrieked like little girls and ran out of the room. "I'm gonna get you for this Hart!" Emily yelled as she made her way out of the room. Maya smirked at her and then she rolled her eyes. She turned her head to see Cory slip and fall out of his desk chair. She couldn't help it she had to laugh at this. "It's not funny Maya!" he called out. "You know it's hilarious." She said as she ran out the room.

The entire school piled out of the school. Fire trucks formed around the school. They stayed out there a while until they realized that it was just a false alarm. Maya knew that she was gonna be in for it cause Emily would definitely tell on her.

"There she is!" Emily squealed as she pointed her finger towards Maya. "Uh oh." Maya mumbled to herself. "Are you Ms. Hart?" the principal asked. Maya nodded her head up and down. "Follow me." She said. Maya looked back and saw Emily. She folded her arms and smirked at her.

Maya was suspended for 2 weeks. It didn't really matter to her anyways. She trudged out of the school and then she walked to the subway. She sat on the bench and then she out her face into her hands.

Cory also got into trouble for sleeping during class and not teaching. He now has to be watched by a monitor until he can prove himself, stupid things like that. They sent Cory home for the day because he seemed not ready to teach today. And to be honest he wasn't, he had his own problems to worry about. He had a horrible migraine, he looked like someone just hit him with a bus, and he was too tired to even think straight.

When he got back to the apartment Topanga was standing in the threshold. "Look I'm way too tired to fi-." Topanga cut him off and then she kissed him. She hugged him tightly and then kissed his cheek. Ok so just this morning she was yelling at him and now they were kissing. "I swear this woman is bipolar." Cory thought to himself. He came in and sat on the couch and Topanga sat next to him. "Do you want some tea?" she asked. He slowly shook his head and then laid down on the couch. "How's your head?" she asked gently stroking his forehead. "It's fine." He mumbled. "Look Cory the school called me and told me what happened. If you want to ta-." Cory cut her off. "Why are you all of the sudden being nice to me, just this morning you were screaming at me." Cory snapped. "Honey I think that we should just drop this stupid argument, I mean we're going over to the Florence's for dinner and I don't want to be fighting." She told him. "So that's what this is about, you just want to make a good impression. If we weren't going over there you would still be mad at me!" Cory yelled. "Cory, please just listen to me." She pleaded. "Are you sure you don't want to be fighting because then it will be that much easier for you to divorce me!" he shot back. "Divorce you, why would I ever do that I love you with all of my heart!" she told Cory. "Tell that to someone who cares, like your new husband David." Cory said as he made his way up the stairs.

Topanga was shocked. She just wanted to know what was really bothering him. That night finally came, and Cory still hadn't talked to Topanga. Riley still hadn't spoken to Maya and wasn't planning to.

"Oh Riley you look gorgeous!" Topanga said. Riley was wearing the black strapless dress she had received for her birthday and her hair was straightened. "So do you." Riley replied. Topanga was wearing the red dress that makes Cory drool and her black pumps. "Thank you." She said. They decided that Auggie should just stay with Ava tonight because it was more of a fancy dinner and Auggie still hadn't mastered his table manners.

"Cory, are you ready?" Topanga asked. He didn't answer and came down the stairs. His hair looked normal again and he was wearing a suit. "You look nice." Topanga said as she leaned in for a kiss. Cory backed away and walked out of the apartment. "He must be really mad at you." Riley said to Topanga. "Yea, he is." She said as they made their way out of the door.

They all piled into Topanga's BMW X5 and headed to Emily's apartment. The car ride was really silent and no one talked to each other. When they reached the building, their jaws dropped. It was the nicest apartments in all of New York. Outside was a man wearing a uniform. He came up to the car and asked if he could park it for them. Topanga told him yes and he parked the BMW. Emily lived in the penthouse so it was on the top floor.

When they made it to the apartment their jaws dropped (again). It was full of the nicest furniture and was gigantic. "whoa." Riley said. Topanga nodded her head in agreement. "Welcome!" David said making his way towards the Matthews. "You must be Riley!" he said holding out his hand. "It's very nice to meet you." Riley said. David stared at Topanga. "You must be Riley's mother, Topanga. Charmed to meet you." He said as he kissed her hand. "Nice to meet you as well." Topanga said. "And who might you be?" David asked eyeing Cory. "I might be her husband." Cory said in a rude tone. "Oh I'm sorry, Emily told me that Topanga was in the process of divorcing her husband." David said as they made their way into the apartment. Cory's face turned a fiery red color.

"We are not getting a divorce!" Cory yelled. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to anger you." David said backing away. Topanga grabbed Cory's hand. "Sorry he's just tired and when he gets tired he gets cranky." Topanga told him as she held Cory's hand. "I understand Emily told me that he can't get a temper." He said. Cory looked like he was ready to kill someone.

They all sat at the table. "So how do you guys like New York?" Topanga asked. "Oh its wonderful Emily has made lots of friends." David replied. "That's great!" Topanga replied. Topanga looked gorgeous in her dress; Cory knew he didn't stand a chance. The way she twirled her hair, the way her eyes sparkled in the moonlight, her laugh, it was over. Cory could feel his heart beating out of his chest.

Topanga dropped her napkin on the floor and then said "Oh sorry let me get that." She said getting up from her seat. "No, please let me." He said reaching under the table. "Thank you, you're such a gentleman." Topanga said eyeing Cory. Cory rolled his eyes and continued to play with his food using his fork. He wouldn't dare eat any of it. He was sure Emily probably poisoned his or something.

For the rest of the night David and Topanga would secretly flirt with each other. Like she would drop her fork and he would pick it up or she would compliment him. Cory thought it was disgusting. And Emily and Riley were sitting next to each other gossiping about other girls. Riley would never dare to gossip about anyone, well that was before she met Emily. Cory wished that he was back at his house with normal Riley and Topanga and that they had never met Emily. That Maya would be over and they would all eat mash potatoes together and laugh and just enjoy each other's company. But of course that was never going to happen.

When they were done with dinner the chef brought out a huge chocolate cake. Chocolate was Topanga's and Riley's favorite. "Oooo I love chocolate cake!" Riley and Topanga said in unison. "Well it looks like you're in luck." David said. They all dug into the cake, except for Cory. Topanga had chocolate on her nose, "She looks so cute with chocolate on her nose." Cory thought. "Let me get that." David said as he came over to her with his napkin. He wiped it off of her nose and then stared into her eyes. "It almost looks like they're about to… KISS! Cory thought. His eyes and mouth grew wide. It just felt like someone kicked him in the gut. "I can't watch this." Cory said as he ran out of the apartment. "Cory wait!" Topanga called out.

"I'm sorry will you excuse me." Topanga said as she headed towards the bathroom. She looked at herself in the mirror and then she put her head down. "Can I come in?" David said behind the door. "Yea." She called back. He walked in and then he put his hand on her shoulder. Topanga turned around to face him. She stared into his eyes, and he stared back. He gently stroked her face and then leaned in to kiss her. Their lips were centimeters from touching, but Topanga pushed him away. "I can't do this, and I won't do this."Topanga said as she made her way out of the bathroom. "Where are you going?" David yelled. "To find Cory, I like you David but I love Cory and he is way more important to me than you!" Topanga said as she walked out of the apartment.

Topanga ran down the emergency stairs instead of taking the elevator. It was pouring outside but Topanga didn't care. She took off her heels and ran along the streets of New York calling Cory's name.

Cory had been trudging through the rain for a while, his clothes clinging to his body. Emily was right Topanga fell for David, and was leaving him. Right before Cory turned the corner he heard someone calling his name. He slowly turned his to see Topanga behind him.

"Cory thank god, I've been looking for you everywhere." Topanga told him. "Why were you looking for me, shouldn't you be making out with David or something." Cory said coldly. "Cory, I like David he's a nice guy but I love you and no one could ever change that." She said as she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him. The kiss lasted a few seconds. "You mean that." Cory said. "Every word." Topanga replied as she kissed him again. They stood there in the middle of the street kissing each other, they didn't care.

Looks like things are looking up for Cory… WRONG! Even though things between him and Topanga are better, bad things are going to continue to happen to him. But the person that needs to worry should be...

Maya.
