"Okay. I've gathered you all here today to ask one question." Shawn says as he looks at his group of friends — Cory, Topanga, Jason, Hope, Eric, Letty, and Jack. "By a show of hands, how many of us are sick of the Cory-Topanga issue?" He asks, and everyone raises their hands.

Hope and Letty whisper into Joy and Faith's ears telling them to raise their hands, so they do as well. Hope chuckles as she looks at her daughters, and Letty kisses Faith's cheek saying "that's my girl" while she giggles.

Topanga leans forward on her seat on the couch. "Look, Shawn, it was really nice of you to stage this little intervention for us, but I really think Cory and I can handle our relationship or non-relationship or whatever it is or was or might be." She tells him.

"Word vomit." Hope whispers, and Joy laughs.

"I don't think so, Topanga." Shawn argues as he walks over to her and sits where Eric was before he got up and walked into the kitchen. "You had your chance. I'm taking your relationship out of your hands. I don't think you even understand your relationship."

"Isn't Angela his first serious girlfriend?" Jason whispers as he looks at Letty, and she nods.

"They love each other." Jack says, not having heard Jason.

"Then why did they break up?" Shawn questions.

"Because sometimes that isn't enough." Hope says, her eyes on her daughter, and Letty looks over at her.

"I don't even know what she's upset about!" Cory blurts.

"Show of hands, who does that surprise?" Jason mutters, and the two girls with him both smirk.

"You called me cold and unforgiving!" Topanga yells as she looks at Cory. "You used to think I was pretty perfect."

"Nobody's perfect." Letty says.

"Talk about unrealistic standards." Hope shakes her head.

"You called me an insensitive jerk!" Cory argues as he turns on the couch to face Topanga. "You used to think I was the most considerate guy in the world."

"Maybe we've just known each other for two long." The blonde says. "Maybe we don't really belong together anymore."

"Or maybe there's just some residual anger keeping you apart." Shawn reasons.

"This sounds almost exactly like last Christmas." Letty says, and they look up at her. "When you two started fighting because you had differences, and didn't agree on everything one hundred percent of the time."
