I don't own Girl Meets World!!!

The next morning dawned with a sunrise that made the clouds glow and the world turn golden. Lucas was up bright and early, they were leaving that evening and he wanted to call Dylan and Asher, to try and see them before they left. He waited until the world was a little more awake, at about nine before he called. He'd talked to Zay about seeing their old friends and Zay had agreed that it had been way too long.

Lucas stood on the porch, Zay, Farkle, and Val on the bench behind him, as he placed the call.

The phone rang once, twice, three times before Dylan's familiar voice greeted him.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Dylan." Lucas felt a grin spread across his face when his friend let out a whoop.

"Lucas! Man, is that you?" Dylan asked "Like, for real? This isn't a prank?"

"Nah, dude, it's me." Lucas assured his friend "I'm sorry I haven't called more."

"Lucas, we get it. Life is busy. You're back in Austin right now, though, aren't you?" Dylan chuckled.

"Yeah, Zay and I are visiting. We wondered if you and Asher wanted to meet up before we leave."

"Dude! Of course we do!" Dylan cheered "We can all go out for lunch today, if you're free. Asher and I were planning on checking out a new pizza place. It'd be great for all of us to go together. And we'd love to meet the rest of your friends too."

Lucas flushed, he could practically hear Dylan's eyebrows wiggling suggestively "How did you--?"

"Lucas, we heard about the rodeo." Lucas could almost hear Dylan rolling his eyes "Somebody's got himself a lovely lady friend. It's Val, isn't it? One of the girls who called us and helped make that video for you last year?"

Lucas chuckled awkwardly "Uh, yeah. Yeah, it is."

Dylan whooped again "We can't wait to meet her in person. You're at your Pappy Joe's, right? We'll come by around 11:30ish and we can all go out together."

Lucas grinned "Sounds like a plan, see you then!"

"It'll be really good to see you both again." Dylan's voice was a little softer now "We've really missed you, you know?"

"We missed you guys too." Lucas swallowed the guilt that rose in his throat "We'll see you soon."

"See you." Dylan agreed.

Lucas ended the call and turned back to see Zay's slightly nervous grin, Farkle's bright, excited eyes, and Val's stunning smile.

"So?" Zay's voice was full of anticipation.

Lucas grinned "They're coming around 11:30 and we'll walk into town for pizza."

Zay cheered loudly and Val chuckled a little.

"They want you both to come too." Lucas told Val and Farkle, he worried Val would decline, because he knew she wanted to give him time with his old friends, but he wanted them to meet her in person, and vice versa.

Val hesitated until Lucas, Zay, and Farkle turned the combined force of their big, pleading eyes on her and she agreed laughing.

"All right, all right! I'll come." She nodded "Just put away the sad puppy eyes."

Pappy Joe opened the door and stuck his head outside "Y'all want some pancakes?" He nodded at Val "Your sister and her friend got up about five minutes ago, kicked me outta the kitchen saying they wanted to make everyone breakfast."
