❝Cake is a very beautiful thing.❞

River, Elena, Shawn, Cory, and Topanga we're in the Matthews family living room studying for their upcoming SAT tests. Well, everyone but Shawn was studying to be exact. He got a headache just looking at the cover of the SAT prep textbook.

And before the four could go into another round of quizzing each other, Shawn handed Cory a crumpled-up paper from his pocket.

"What's this?" Cory asked before he read it, "It's a list of colleges," He said in disbelief.

"Yes, that is where I want you guys to go," Shawn smiled, proud of his idea, "Even if I'm not going to school, the four of us should still be together."

"Okay, University of Italy," Cory read the first suggestion with a chuckle, "Good old U of IT."

"Mhm," He nodded excitedly, "Elena and me-"

"Elena and I," She corrected, having just gotten done with the grammar portion of the SAT prep.

"Yeah, so we saw pictures of Italy up in that pizza place we like," He explained, "So I figured we'd all go there. Y'know, you guys hit the books, you're studying hard. Meanwhile, I'm out in the sun, taking tourists around in my big canoe."

"It's called a gondola," This time Topanga was the one to correct him.

Shawn smiled proudly at the two girls. "See, this is why you two are going to college."

"Shawn, you've worked too long to throw it all away now, okay, buddy? Why don't you take the SATs?" Cory begged his best friend once again, "I bet you'll do really well."

"Fine, I'll take your little test," He sighed and shrugged, "What's 10 minutes of my life, right?"

"Ten minutes?" Topanga frowned, "Shawn, they take at least-"

Cory immediately shushed his girlfriend frantically before she could ruin his plan.

"Shawn, listen. You know, I bet if you take Feeny's review course, I bet you could knock them out in five, slugger," Cory promised, hoping Shawn would be easily convinced on this too.

"No. Too much school, too much Feeny. Bye-bye. I am going canoe shopping," He smiled.

"It's a gondola," Elena deadpanned, too tired from all the SAT prep to be nice about it.

"Okay, it was cute the first few times but will you please stop correcting me?" He sighed.

"It was cute the first few times but will you please stop being wrong?" She countered.

Shawn paused for a moment. "Okay, tushie."

"What?" Topanga asked with furrowed brows.

"He means touché," Elena explained with a sigh.
