"Riles, this is not going to be the same type of college party as the one we went to before," Maya sighed. "I'll have Josh to protect me from the creeps, but I know you. If you go, you'll wander off, and then you'll get in trouble."

"What do you mean I'll wander off?" her best friend protested. "I will not!"

Maya rolled her eyes. "Oh, I'm sorry, I seem to remember you becoming best friends with sorority girls two seconds after we got there and then running off with them before I knew what was going on."

Riley went to protest, but Maya didn't let her.

"You know that's exactly what happened."

The other girl exhaled in resignation. "Fine."

"It's not even actually on Halloween," Maya said placatingly. "Your parents are still taking us to Fright Fest at Coney Island, and I still would not miss it for the world."

"You better not."

They looked up to see Lucas, followed by Farkle and Zay, entering Topanga's.

"What're the Avengers without their Black Widow?" the Texan asked, smirking.

"Freakin screwed, that's what," Maya replied as the guys sat down.

Farkle looked between her and Riley curiously. "Why would you miss it, anyway?"

"I wouldn't, because the party's on a different night."

Zay's mouth fell open in playful disbelief. "A party? And you didn't invite us?"

"Josh invited me to a college party the night before, I can't bring you guys because I'm just a plus one, don't bug me about it," Maya replied tiredly.

"Awe, you know I'm just playin'," Zay told her. "That's cool. I know you two haven't hung out much lately."

Lucas, however, was frowning. "A college party? Are you sure that's a good idea?"

"What, Moral Compass?" she sighed. "You think I'm gonna get drunk or something?"

"No, I think everyone else is going to."

Maya exhaled. "Josh promised he'd stay sober and have my back. Stop freaking out, I'll be fine."

"Maybe you should study some Black Widow moves just in case," he suggested, half-joking but still looking less than convinced.

"Hey, maybe I should." She smirked. "Will you let me practice on you?"

He returned the smile. "Whatever you want..." That aggravatingly hot tilt of his invisible hat. "Ma'am."
