Lucas could still feel the anger, but he attempted to keep it to himself, for his friend's sake.
Farkle was worried, and he could tell that Riley was too.
Maya was still leaning against Riley's shoulder, while Riley tried to think about what to say.
Lucas suddenly got up, grabbed the crutches, and handed them to Maya. He smiled and said, "Just because you're hurt, doesn't mean that the four of us can't still have fun together."
Maya reluctantly stood up, with a little help from Riley. "Where do you wanna go then, Ranger Rick?"
Lucas shrugged. "I don't know, I didn't think you would even agree."
Riley got up and patted Maya's shoulder. "You guys just want to go to Topanga's?"
Maya nodded."Yeah, then maybe I can forget about the fact that I cant walk."
Riley gave her a questioning look, but she just shrugged it off.
Once the four of them got there, Maya accidentally fell backward.
Riley quickly grabbed her and Lucas did as well.
Maya was a little surprised by that, but before she could speak, Lucas said, "what? I'm your friend, aren't I? That's what friends do."
Maya just looked at Riley and said nothing. The four sat down at there usual spots.
Riley helped Maya sit, then she moved the crutches to the side. They weren't sure what they should even talk about. Finally, Riley asked, "Remember when Lucas did that really bad British accent here?"
Lucas immediately replied with an offended tone, "Heyy!" But then he laughed at himself.
Maya smiled. "Yep, it was really hard not to laugh. We've had some interesting memories here."
Riley smiled too. "Remember the time Farkle reminded you that you loved me, so you "flew" back home to see me?"
Maya laughed a little. "Yeah, you had a pre-made sign that said my name on it."
Riley put her arm around her friend. "Because I love you too."
Maya looked at her fondly.
Farkle spoke up, asking, "Remember the ice cream battle?"
Riley and Maya laughed. "Maya didn't let me forget it. I definitely got payback for that."
Maya admitted, "I can't believe I'm saying this, but looking back at that, it was kinda funny."
Lucas smiled slightly. "It really was funny, at least, the part when Maya got Riley back was. The whole bully part wasn't."
Maya just looked at the floor. She knew that Lucas was angry about how she had gotten hurt. He's really protective of his friends. The four of them continued to talk about more memories, which made them forget about Maya's circumstances. Even Maya forgot. Truly, friendship was more powerful than anybody or any circumstances that might come their way.
