One fishing trip later...

Riley dialed Farkle on Maya's phone. It was passed midnight but luckily Farkle answered.

"Farkle it's Riley! What did you do to Maya!" Riley demanded.

Farkle explained everything, including how he had tested the same substance on his dog earlier and the dog was now back to normal.

"When Maya had stopped being insane she just passed out. Is she going to be okay?" Riley asked

"Yeah she'll be awake and back to normal in a few hours. But she won't remember anything that happened from the time she drank the substance to the time she passed out."

"So this is the way Maya really feels?" Riley asked. Looking over at her friend lying next to her.

"Well, my formula may exaggerate feelings a little, but yes, those are the feelings Maya keeps locked away."Farkle answered.

"Why would you do that to a person, Farkle?"

"Because I know how much Maya loves you, and I know that you love her right back, even if you don't realize it yet. I had to get her to show you how much she really loves you before you start dating Lucas." Farkle explained.

"Farkle...Lucas asked me out already. I said 'no' because I'm in love with Maya...I only pretended to like Lucas to make Maya jealous. Now I've seen that it worked, it did make her jealous. But all that did was break her heart and make her hate Lucas..." Riley realized how much she had hurt Maya with the whole Lucas thing. She kissed Maya's forehead.

"Wow...I guess Farkle doesn't know everything..." Farkle said. "I'm sorry Riley."

"I know, Farkle. You were just trying to help. Maya's phone is gonna die so I'll have to hang up now."

"Alright, night Riley. I hope everything works out for you two."

Riley hung up the phone and placed it on the night stand next to Maya's bed. Riley began running her hand through her best friend's beautiful blonde curls. Riley had never looked so closely at Maya before. She was so beautiful. Riley always hoped that Maya would someday love her this much but she never thought it would happen. The thought that Maya actually had been in love with her all this time was shocking, uncomfortable, and... amazing.

"Maya, Maya, Maya." Riley sighed. "Maybe your name is Maya Hart because you are my heart."


After a few hours of just lying there cuddling with Maya, Riley noticed Maya beginning to wake up.
