I'm gonna take on the world

Riley jealousy isn't a good color on you

This morning (outfit 4) I hoped onto the subway after Shawn made me breakfast, and went to the Matthew's apartments. Where I ran into Maya and Farkle also on their way up to see Riley this morning before we would go back to the subway and go to school.

Morning Peaches. Good morning Buttercup. Hi Farkle. Hi Farrah. We buzz the intercom to let Riley know that we were there. She opens the door and we see that she's in a very good mood saying how she thinks she's got this whole life thing figured out and how she loves everything.

Maya, Farrah, Farkle breakfast? She questions. No thanks. Maya shakes her head. Yeah, my caregiver already gave me breakfast. Oh yeah and what did this person give you? She asks me hands on her hips. French toast, bowl of cereal, an apple, glass of chocolate milk. Honestly more than enough for me, I'm a tiny little thing.

Mm. Farrah, Maya that wasn't a question come sit down and have breakfast. Farkle you too. We sit at the table obeying her wishes. Cory turns the T.V. on to Mr. Googly, and while the others sit singing the theme song and then complain when Riley's brother turns off the T.V. saying he's too old for that show now.

Everyone questions it except me who has never seen the show. Topanga picks up the Googly doll and asks him what's going on, and he says he needed to tell him a secret that he's got a new best friend and that he's 5 years old and that he didn't need him anymore. Who is this new friend Topanga asks him pretending to be the doll and says that he doesn't want him to know who she is.

All: She? I've said too much. Augie whispers. Farrah why didn't you react? I've never seen the show. I shrug. I've spent most of my time outside in nature my caregiver moves around a lot Why? Because he likes being out on the open road with no responsibilities except for me. He's proud for me to be someone he is responsible for and he loves me whether we're related by blood or not at all.

Mr. Jack sounds like a great guy, and I hope we get to meet him someday. He's told me he's been raising me the way he has cause it's the only way he knows how to be that he wasn't gonna be like his father, that he wanted me to be like him. When he was growing up, when he was about the age we all are about now. I mean, he doesn't always say the words I love you sometimes we say we share the same affections as each other and that's good enough for us.

When we reach school Riley starts saying that she had no idea what she was worried about that it's a new school year with new friends, she points to me, and new people, and I'm like a plant I'm surviving and thriving and growing. When we get to the classroom, Maya and I stop first. Inside we see a girl in a pink sweater trying to flirt with Lucas. We try to protect Riley but she needed to see for herself cause this pink sweater girl in the plant analogy was a bulldozer.

Riley are you ok? I asked her. As I watched her slide down against the wall. Look what the mean ol' bulldozer did to our pretty little plant Farrah. Maya continues. As we comfort Riley. Riley realizes that there will be other girls that want to talk to Lucas, and wishes it was just us 3 in the world. Then it is. Maya tells her.

In class Cory was talking about the "sneak attack" and Farkle said something about a date, and what sounded to Riley that he said Italy. No honey, I shake my head putting my hand on her hand. You're in history. Maya corrects her. I'm history? Riley asks. Maya shakes her head and tells Riley to raise her hand. Her father calls on her, Maya encourages her to ask him to be excused. Cory takes the hint and allows Riley to be excused.

Riley watches and listens to the lesson from the outside of the classroom as the rest of us go on. Cory tells the class that the "Sneak attack" changed everything. Missy the girl that's flirting with Lucas they begin whispering to each other about if Lucas likes movies, that she said it was dark at the movies. Lucas tried to be polite and push her away trying to show that he wasn't interested in her, and told her if it was the right person that he was with. Missy asked him if he liked scary movies and that if they saw a scary movie that she was sure that Lucas would protect her.

Cory went on to say that people who had earlier viewed their lives to be safe no longer had any security at all. Lucas went to ask her if it would be just them at the movies, and Missy cozied up to Luas and told him yes of course it would just be the two of them, and then booped his nose.

Riley came back in and had, had enough of her nonsense and said that if she could do "boop" so could she but instead of booping the top of his nose she accidently picked his nose, and was stuck that way in embarrassment. And it got even worse when Farkle decided that it couldn't get any worse that anyone could do boop and then pulled a Riley on Maya accidently sticking his finger up her nose now. As I face palmed. This was so awkward and embarrassing. Poor Riley.

Instead of fixing this mess first, Cory went on to say that the bombing of Pearl Harbor was our entrance into the war and nothing would ever be the same again. After class Riley is inside of a locker and Farkle asks if she wanted us to bring her food but she's worried it will just keep her alive. Actually this kind of thing seemed to happen similar in boy meets world. Maya more or less teases her by telling our little plant to come back into the sun.

But Riley is scared by what could happen if she came back out there. Come on Riley I hold my hand out to her, nothing worse could happen now. I shake my head. But Missy comes over and tells Riley that she was "sorry" that she hadn't realized that she and Lucas were a thing. But Riley is honest and says that they weren't, and which Missy says that Riley then wouldn't mind if she asked Lucas out.

I loath you! Maya shakes her head at her. Well, Lucas doesn't in fact in seems that he's actually rather into me. I live here now. Riley sulks. Ok, that's it! Maya Farkle don't hold me back let me at her, let me at her! But they both hold me back. Whoa, whoa slow your roll there buttercup I'm all for sticking up for Riley and ripping out the fake highlights in her hair, but you're new here, if you're a bad influence on her and are more good than bad for Riley her parents aren't gonna let you stick around if they think you're gonna be a second Maya. Besides I hate school as much as the next person, but.... Do you want to get kicked out of school or get detention for getting into a fight with a student?

I know how this ends, and I don't want to see it happen to you. Maya shakes her head. Maya is right Farkle tells me as they pull me back and I calm myself down. I hate her! Me too, but killing her over it won't fix the problems if we're gonna cause problems by trying to stand up for Riley then one we do things together, and two we do things my way I've gone through these things enough for a long enough time that there's a line that we're allowed to cross and one that we're not and I walk that line nearly every day and have been since Riley and I were like 5 years old. This is one of those dances you have to dance delicately.

At Riley's house that night, Auggie is in a hurry to grow up, that he needs to grow up to be just like his dad, that he has outgrown pjs, and kissing that instead he gives his parents a good hard hand shake and tells them goodnight. But Cory doesn't want him to grow up so fast and that how can he be an adult when Cory says he's not even an adult. Riley has one set of problems and her parents have their own. All because of a girl. They're both having problems that involve girls.

When I leave knowing my friend would need her friends in the time of need, I tell Shawn where I'm going, he tells me to be back before our late night dinner. We're very busy adventure people we do what we want when want, as long he knows where I am and I when I'm coming home, and that if anything should happen or if I need him he knows I'll call him. I'm taking the motorcycle! I call to him as I go out the door, taking the key and my helmet and riding jacket that I never if rarely take off.

Ok, be safe. Love you. I share your same affections Shawn. Text me when you arrive. KK. I watch Maya crawl in through her window and I come up. Mind if I come in? Sure thing Buttercup get your butt in here. Maya pulls me in. So about this Missy chick.... We were just discussing her. Take a seat. Riley says pointing over to her bay window. What is it that you want from Lucas Riley? I hear Maya ask.

We discuss how Riley doesn't know how to be jealous but that she doesn't want Missy to go on a date with Lucas but that she doesn't want to go on one with Lucas cause she's not quite ready for that yet, then asks Maya to teach her how to flirt. Yeah, not gonna happen she tells her. Why not? For one I have no idea how to flirt either.... For another we've got our work cut out for us. I finish.

What about you? Me? No, no I've never flirted either, never really even been around many people before, since this is my first public school. This is all new to me. Who can teach us how to flirt? Then Farkle pops up and says he's always out there and Maya says he's the biggest flirt in the 7th grade. Really? Wow, that's great Farkle. So, can you teach me how to flirt with Lucas? I'd do whatever you ask of me, either one of you.

I thought you loved her. Maya asks him. I love all of you. I just want you all to be happy. How can you love me Farkle I shake my head, you don't even know me. That's not entirely true Farrah for you see, I already love Maya and Riley, and I both know them very well and you're a combination of them both and mystery, I love a good mystery.

At lunch the next day (outfit 6) Riley was worried about if Lucas would want to sit with us or with Missy and than Farkle joined us at our table, and then Lucas came over asking to join us but when Riley called him buddy it wasn't really helping her case and then Missy stole him away to sit with her and talk about their movie date. And that Riley wasn't ready to face her yet, but that didn't mean Farkle wasn't, that he would flirt with Missy to get her away from Lucas.

Farkle goes over and tries to flirt with her but the best he could do was that she said he was next. Riley couldn't take it anymore, she went up to Missy and Lucas and said she didn't want Lucas with her alone, and didn't know why not. To Missy Riley was simply just a concerned friend and was no threat to her. When Riley didn't want them alone Missy started a food fight, making their be food on his and her faces.

Cory was the monitor of the café and gave them both detention. Just as Missy wanted. And now we needed Cory to give the rest of us detention so that he wouldn't be alone with her. If she's Lucas is going down then we'll go down with him by order of our friendship with Riley. And in order to do that, Riley came up with a plan that would give us all detention by Maya and I being guest stars in his classroom and she would get onto his back and I would grab onto his leg.

He was impressed with us and told us that would be enough to get us all detention. Nice work, he turns to us. Pleasure doing business with ya. Maya says, as I get up brushing fake dust off myself. See ya later ya'll. I tip my imaginary hat. Bowing out of the room. At home Auggie has his own problems his "older woman" was coming to meet their mom. Turns out she lived down the hall and that she was 6 and liked Auggie because he was younger than her because she said children that were 6 got to tell the kids that were 5 what to do.

When she saw Mr. Googly she said that she wanted him and Auggie was confused because he said she was 6 now and all grown up. Auggie was ok with being told what to do by Ava, and let her have him but Topanga was not ok with that, and because she's the mom she got to make the rules and tell 6 year olds what to do.

Topanga asks Ava if she liked rides, Ava said yes, then Topanga picked her up after Ava gave back the toy and gave her a ride out the door and closing it on her. Auggie asked how she liked Ava. But Topanga gave no response. In detention we keep talking about Pearl Harbor and learn that friends are truly everything. And when Lucas asks Riley to join them at the movies and the rest of us can come, Missy is upset that he does that decides that he won't go unless his friends are going.

Right before the lesson Farkle came to the classroom and wanted to know what place this was. Cory said it was dentation and that it wasn't for him. If my friends are here then it sure is. Farkle took a seat with us and when Missy left, Cory finished and told us we were free to go but now we were all here together and had no better place to go, and nowhere better to be, we were good just where we were.

If there was anything else we learned it was not to grow up so fast and that sometimes we just had to trust our friends. At home Riley takes the lessons she has learned and teaches them to her brother and he decides that she's right and won't grow up so fast and everyone goes to bed, all safe and sound and snug in their beds with all our merry thoughts about in our heads.

What are you all still doing here? Everyone is asleep go home. I'll have the next chapter for you when I have it. G' outta 'ere! Goodnight lovelies! Sweet dreams. And never ever grow up! <3 I haven't ;)
