Joshaya Meets World: New Beginnings

Girl Meets Goodbye

Maya's outfit: Black shirt, blue jeans, white design cardigan, white phone case, black heel boots, and straightened hair.

Riley's outfit: Red long sleeve shirt, black shirts, black tights, white phone case, brown heel boots, and curls.

With Riley and her friends at Topanga's.

Lucas: You can't leave.
Riley: I don't want to, but my mom is thinking about it. It honestly would be nice to live in London.
Lucas: What about us?
Riley: We'll be fine, Lucas.
Lucas: What makes you say that? You'll probably meet a new and cute London guy, fall in love, and marry him. You'll forget all about me.
Riley: Lucas.

Josh walks in.

Maya: What are you doing here?
Josh: I came to check up on you guys because, well, I kind of expected this.
Maya: I know what this is. Life is trying to replace you, life moves fast, and life does a good job.
Lucas: You know what. I'll wait to find out what your parents say. If you leave, Riley, I'm going back to Texas, and our relationship is over.

They all walk in, and everyone looks sad. Maya goes to her mother, who's almost in tears.

Maya: Is everything ok?
Shawn: Topanga made a decision, kiddo.
Maya: Ooh, cool. Are they staying?
Katy: No, baby girl. They're gonna move to London.

Maya starts tearing up.

Maya: But Riley...
Cory: Riley is still a minor, and so are you, so you'll stay with your parents here in New York, and Riley will come with us to London.
Lucas: We're done, Riley.

Lucas storms out.

Maya: I need air.

Maya walks out and sits down on the steps.

Josh: I'm gonna go check on her.
Zay: Yeah! Go get your girl!

Everyone laughs. Josh goes outside and sits on the stairs next to Maya.

Josh: Hey.
Maya: Hey.
Josh: Look, I know you're not liking the fact that your best friend is moving away, but you should at least spend as much time as you can with her before leaves.
Maya: I won't have my baywindow.
Josh: When we can, we can go and visit them, and you and Riley can have your baywindow talks.
Maya: But it won't be the same.
Josh: The window didn't have powers because of where it was. It had powers because that's your and Riley's place. The baywindow is where you and Riley are. Rather, that's your room or Riley's new room in London. Maya, Riley isn't going to forget about you when she moves. You're practically a sister to her, which would kind of make me your uncle, especially saying it's kind of weird saying that we have a romantic relationship even if it's the long game.
Maya: Yeah, don't word it like that again.

They laugh.

Josh: Now that's what I like to see.
Maya: Thank you, Josh.
Josh: Anytime, Ferret.

They hug.

Maya: Did you just call me ferret?
Josh: I did. It's only fair that you have nicknames for me like Boing and Honey.
Maya: But you already gave me the nickname, gorgeous.
Josh: I said that one time.
Maya: That same day, I started to call you Boing.
Josh: Oh, I almost forgot you also call me Uncle Boing.
Maya: Oh, right.
Josh: I'll figure out another nickname for you, babe.
Maya: Do not call me babe, bo, or baby. I don't like that.
Josh: Hmm, I may have to use those on you to see what you do.
Maya: You do. This relationship is over.

Josh laughs.

Josh: I'm joking, Maya.
Maya: You better, mister.
Josh: Let's go.

Josh stands up and holds his hand out. Maya takes it and stands up. She loses her balance and almost falls back, but Josh catches her.

Maya: Woah.
Josh: Be careful, clumsy.

Maya sticks her tongue out.

A few weeks later.

It's the day Riley and her family are moving to London.

Maya's outfit: Pink long sleeve shirt, grey jeans, silver earrings, silver ring, brown purse, pink converse, and curls.

Riley's outfit: White shirt, black jeans, pink scarf, brown flats, and ponytail.

Smackle's outfit: Blue jean shirt, pink jeans, floral scarf, white shoes, and bun.

Riley is standing in her now empty room with her friends and uncle.

Riley: I wish I didn't have to go.
Maya: We do, too.
Riley: Is Lucas coming?
Zay: No. He said he doesn't want to see you. He's at his house packing for Texas.
Smackle: So he's leaving.
Zay: Yeah.
Josh: Honestly, he's overreacting.
Maya: Yeah
Topanga: It's time to go to the airport, Riley.
Riley: I'll see you guys at Christmas?
Joshaya: Of course.
Smarkle: Probably.
Riley: Yay.

They group hug.

Josh: Safe travels.
Riley: Of course.

They all hug one last time and walk out of the room, and Riley gets into the cab with her parents and brother.
