The lunch hour couldn't come fast enough for the five friends Riley especially has never been so thankful for lunch to come around. The five friends sat at their usual spot but Riley and Maya kept a look out for Missy in case she plans on doing anything with the fake photo of Riley, so far there was no sign but 5 minutes have passed since they all entered the cafeteria. Fight day was tomorrow that was for certain, but nobody knew what time Missy and Joseph would make the challenge to Lucas and Riley. "So, what's the plan for fight day?" Zay asked trying to break the ice.
"Riley, you have any idea how to fix this yet?" Maya asked her best friend sitting beside her.
"I'm sorry guys but I don't have a plan yet! This sort of issue isn't my forte!" Riley answered back admitting she did not know what to do.
"But we do know someone who is an expert at this right?" Farkle asked the group. Eventually all eyes of the group focused on Lucas who was just staring at his food not saying a word.
"…What?" Lucas asked bluntly finally realizing the eyes that were staring at him.
"Lucas you know what's it like being in these situations, tell us what to do to get us out of this?" Riley asked her boyfriend as she placed her right hand on top of his right hand.
"Riley, this is much more complex than any of yours or Maya's typical schemes! This needs to be done with planning from a guy who has known this their entire lives, I've only been hostile to people for only 3 years, and training in karate for a year and a half now… I'm not qualified to speak on these situations! I'm trying to think of our way out, how you can easily win, my win, and us getting out without a scratch." Lucas answered as he pondered on his thoughts of possible solutions. It was silent among the group for a little bit, Farkle and Zay ate their food in peace, Lucas was still trying to put together a master plan to get out of this mess, while Maya is trying to comfort Riley as she is about to enter her first ever fight tomorrow.
"I GOT A PLAN!" Riley announced! As her eyebrows raised, and had a big smile on her face.
"What do you got because I got nothing?" Farkle asked listening to Riley's plan.
"Lucas, we need to talk to Master Dominic and some of the other Golden Tigers…Tonight!" Riley declared to Lucas.
"Alright, I'll come pick you up?" Lucas asked. Riley nodded her head.
Maya's POV
Honey, I really hope you got this! This is your first ever fight and this time I can't protect you, you have to do this on your own! It's you against Missy and she still has that fake photo of you! You need to beat her now!
Lucas' POV
I have no clue why she would need to talk to Master Dominic and some of the other Golden Tigers, whatever Riley is thinking, I'll stand by her, and protect her. Nobody will lay their hands on Riley!
Third Person POV
The lunch bell rang as everyone made their way to their classes. Fortunately art class, and English class flew by! In art class once again the infamous Maya Hart stole the show for Ms. Kossal as she painted a beautiful scenery of the New York City skyline for our major project just before the break. Riley did ok….At best tackling The Eiffel Tower in Paris, France, Farkle painted a beautiful picture of London Bridge in England, Zay did good painting Shuri Castle in Okinawa, Japan and Lucas did a great painting of Christ The Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil with the luscious green mountains in the background. Mostly Ms. Kossal was very pleased with the work with the exception of Riley.
Ms. Kossal's POV
These kids are actually pretty good, Maya still just finds a way to take my breath away! I know she will be one of the most talented young artists in the country! I just need to get her to display some of work. Lucas shows great potential, Zay and Farkle are doing ok and both showed improvement from the start of the semester while Riley… I have no idea what to say to her now…At least she didn't paint anything that wasn't purple nor a cat! Either way the assignment was buildings and architecture from around the world, and at least she got it! So it's March Break Maya no doubt will earned an A+, Lucas an A, Farkle will get an A, Zay will get an A-, and Riley…Should I give her a B or a B-….Ah it's March Break why not! B+ I'm feeling generous today!
Third Person View
Finally! It was the end of the day, the five friends all left together to hear out Riley's plan that she formed during lunch time. After 25 minutes they finally made it to their go to hangout spot. They all made their orders and sat at their usual spots. The employee handed them their drinks, and they all began to hear Riley out.
"So I'm pretty sure you all wanna know what my plan is?" Riley asked with a sinister smile knowing she has a brilliant idea.
"Why else would we be here Riles?" Maya answered lifting up her left hand.
"…Ok then, so Lucas I was thinking we go back to the dojo tonight, tell Master Dominic that I'm fighting Missy, you are still fighting Joseph and we just call for back up in case Eddie and Tanner are there with him!" Riley said as she made a big smile knowing everything was going to be ok.
"Ummm…Riley that's all well in good but there's a thing you should know, Master Dominic, Tetsuro, Darryl, and some of the others are going to hit the road tomorrow morning to get to Baltimore! There's a major tournament there on Saturday!" Lucas informed his princess pointing out the flaw in her "brilliant" plan.
"What do we do now?" Riley asked concerned.
"Hey listen Lucas, I'll come in there with you to fight!" Zay volunteered.
"Thank you buddy but I need to make sure a few people are with Riley by the time I fight to look after her. That's why I have Farkle, Maya, and you up there.
"So, what's gonna happen to you if you get triple teamed like last time Ranger Rick?" Maya asked leaning back on her chair with her feet up on the coffee table.
"So who's staying behind then?" Farkle asked hoping there would be some of the Golden Tigers to help Lucas.
"I think it would be us!" A hooded Golden Tiger said entering the café with another Golden Tiger with the signature white and gold hoodie.
"DJ! Jordan! Good to see you my brothers!" Lucas stood up hugging his brothers and bowed to each other.
"We asked Master Dominic what would happen to you in case history decides to repeat itself." DJ told Lucas as they both pull up chairs joining the group. DJ sat beside Lucas and Riley, while Jordan sat beside Farkle and Zay.
"We volunteered to stay behind besides, the Montreal Canadians are in town on Saturday and I'm gonna watch at the garden!" Jordan happily said still embracing his support for the Canadians.
"Well that solves everything now does it?!" Riley asked in a cheerful mood knowing they have more backup now.
"Pretty much, Lucas it's gonna depend how you fight Joseph tomorrow, you can't fight him as if it was a sparring match, you need to put him down fast not using much energy! He'll be tough to bring down since he can take a hit but you can take one and give one back!" DJ said as he remembered how Joseph fought him when he came to rescue Lucas and Riley with some of the other Golden Tigers.
"And Riley, don't worry too much ok? You've seen Lucas fight before both in the subway, and at the dojo. It's safe to assume that when you're around him, he gains more strength and willpower!" Jordan informed Riley as he looked seriously in both Lucas' and Riley's eyes.
"And you two are gonna make sure nothing happens to Ranger Rick right?" Maya asked taking Riley's hand.
"Who's Ranger Rick?" DJ asked confused with the new name.
"Oh that's what Ms. Maya Penelope Hart calls Lucas!" Farkle informed DJ.
"Farkle…."Maya snarled at the genius while giving him the death stare.
"What? What did he do?" Jordan asked furrowing his eyebrows.
"He said her middle name?" Riley said letting both Jordan and DJ in on the loop.
"Why what's wrong with Penelope?" Jordan said as he held both his hands up asking the five friends until he felt Maya tugging on his hoodie growling at him while Jordan leans back on his chair.
"Are you sure you wanna do that?" Jordan asked Maya before she made her next move. Jordan using his left index finger told Maya to look down. She saw Jordan's shoe on her stomach already in position to protect himself.
"You win this round karate kid!" Maya said crossing her arms in defeat returning to her seat.
"Ok now that's taken care of, what now?" Farkle asked leaving the next topic up for discussion.
"Well, Lucas you know we got your back do you or Riley have any questions about tomorrow?" DJ asked leaving the door open to the young lovers.
"Just one! How do I make sure I win a fight?" Riley asked raising her hand remembering she's gonna have to fight Missy tomorrow.
"WAIT! YOU'RE FIGHTING NOW TOO?!" DJ asked shocked to find out the most gentle soul he met was getting into a street fight.
Riley nodded her head while both Jordan and DJ's jaws dropped to the floor in unison after Riley confirmed what will take place.
"Yeah I knew that was gonna happen." Lucas smirked.
"Lucas! How could you let Riley get in harm's way?" DJ asked still in shock.
"Well, she was challenged and let's say someone that isn't a fan of Riley has some fake ammo on her as leverage to make her fight." Lucas informed the two Golden Tigers who understood why Riley chose to fight.
"Ok then if this turns into an ugly fight here's what you do…"DJ instructed Riley on every possibility, on how to beat her with little experience.
"So you're good?" DJ asked Riley.
"I should be fine now!" Riley confirmed smiling with relief.
"Excellent! Lucas you have our number's in case of anything ok? When Joseph, and Missy find you, let us know so we can make our way to you in case he does have backup!
"You got it!" Lucas nodded understanding the instructions of the two black belts as they left Topanga's.
