A/N: Hope ya'll like this, I'm from Texas but from a big city so I've never been able to see the stars in all their true beauty. Please leave a review if you enjoyed this. Also remember all these drabbles will range from different stages in their lives and different ages, they won't all be linear, kinda all over the place really.
1."Pull over. Let me drive for awhile."
"What? No way! You don't even have a drivers license!" Lucas said.
"That's because we live in New York. What's even the point of owning a car there? That's doesn't mean I don't know how to drive and look at yourself, you're gonna run us into a ditch!" Shouted an extremely annoyed Maya.
"Fine!" Shouted an exasperated Lucas as he parked on the side of the long winding road.
They had been driving for 3 hours but it felt like days. They where going to Zay's college graduation. Riley and Farkle had made it there the day before. They where all happy for him but at the moment that happiness seemed far away. It first started with their missing luggage (Maya spent an hour causing a scene before Lucas pulled her away), then they decided to take Pappy Joe's old truck to make the 4 hour drive. The truck that had recently started to slowly break down, the radio broke the first hour, on the second hour the air conditioner stopped working. Texas near summer was like entering hell.
"Why are these roads so long? Why is Texas so big? I just don't understand how there can be so much empty space." Maya said as she looked around a desolate land full of dirt and a darkening sky.
Lucas who looked pale and miserable sagged into the passenger seat.
Maya put her hand over his forehead.
"You're burning up cowboy, we should have just stayed at your place. I knew you where just going to get worse."
"I'm fine," denied Lucas who started closing his eyes.
"You are not," replied a still annoyed Maya.
"It's just a cold. There's now way I'm going to miss this important day in one of our best friends life just because of a stupid cold."
Maya shook her head. Why she's so in love with this stubborn idiot remains a mystery.
Just as Maya got on the road and started to get used to driving the giant truck, she felt it start slow down with a stuttering sound and then stop with a final screech.
Lucas groaned next to her and Maya tried to stop herself from making a long, and inappropriate curse.
"I'm sorry Maya, this is all my idea, its all my fault." Lucas said in a disgustingly sad voice.
Maya looked at her boyfriend, no not her boyfriend anymore. Her fiancé, who looked pathetic and sounded like he had the worst stuffed nose in the world.
All her anger faded away.
How could she be mad at him for trying to be a good friend, especially since he already looked so miserable.
"It's okay Lucas, I agreed to this. Let me just call a tow truck. We're not that far from the main road."
"Thanks babe." Lucas said with a smile.
"Stop calling me that!" Maya growled with no real anger. She did kind of like it but she would never admit it.
Once Maya got off the phone, she opened her car door and got out to stretch her legs.
"It's going to get here in about two hours huckleberry."
"At least their coming, imagine being stuck here all night," said Lucas.
He got out of the truck and looked at the dark sky.
He had an idea.
Lucas walked to Maya and grabbed her hand.
"What are you up to? Are you gonna murder me and hide my body out here?" Maya said sarcastically.
Lucas snorted and dragged her to the bed of the truck.
"If I was going to kill you, I would have done it a long time ago."
Lucas dropped the tail gate and sat down then he patted the space next to him.
Maya rolled her eyes but sat down.
"I'm not going to fool around with you while you're sick or on old pappy Joe's truck."
Lucas laughed for the first time today.
"I wouldn't dare. Look up at the sky Maya."
"Why... Oh... Whoa."
Above them the night sky was scattered with an infinite amount of beautiful stars making it look like a whole other world.
"I haven't seen this in so long...I forgot how beautiful they where. I guess Texas isn't that bad after all," Maya admitted.
Lucas watched Maya's wonderstruck expression and suddenly all of the day's bad luck didn't seem important anymore.
"Last time we were together under a billion stars I almost kissed you," Lucas said reminiscing.
Maya smiled has she remembered. She reached over and took Lucas's hand. Lucas looked down at her small fingers, a diamond ring shined like one of the stars above. Tomorrow with any luck they where going to to tell their friends the good news.
"We were just kids. Who would've thought we would actually end up together?"
"It was a pretty confusing time but when we where alone underneath the stars everything seemed pretty clear."
"Do you regret not kissing me back then hucklebarry?" Maya asked teasingly.
Lucas chuckled.
"I used to when I thought we had no chance of working out but I wouldn't change our story for anything in the world."
Maya leaned closer to him.
"You're such a sap, but I wouldn't either."
Lucas grabbed her face gently with his hand and drew her in.
He could kiss her now and for the rest of their lives.
I got super fluffy and corny near the end. I wanted to show that just because they have been together for a long time it doesn't mean everything is perfect but it's okay because at the end of the day their happy together. Also I had to make them be engaged, I had to I'm a secretly hopeless romantic. Please review and thanks for reading :)
