"I think those blanks actually hit me." Riley whispered.

Lucas hovered over Riley's body. "Riley, I didn't shoot anywhere close to you, I was aiming to far left. Now, don't move, and don't speak. Try to act limp when I pick you up." Lucas whispered, sliding his arms under her torso. Riley managed to control herself, no matter how much she wanted to giggle.

"I like the feeling I get when you carry me." Riley whispered, and Lucas gave her a look. "How are we going to get out of here?" She asked, and Lucas looked at her again. "At least tell me where we're going. Please?" Riley asked, and Lucas got closer to her.

"Peut-être un jour moi et vous serez Paris à ensemble." Lucas whispered in her ear, and a huge smile beamed on Riley's face, from ear to ear. She looked him in the eyes.

"Maybe, one day, me and you will be in Paris together." Riley said.

"You finally learned what I said." Lucas said, smiling. He ducked her head under a tree and carried her out. In front of them, a helicopter stood, Farkle next to it.

"I'm fluent in French now." Riley admitted, and they joined Farkle at the helicopter.

"You know how to fly one of these things Friar. Because I don't want to hear about any copter crashes on the news. I'm very fold of Helena." Farkle said, tapping the side of the helicopter. Riley hopped into the helicopter and Lucas and Farkle saluted each other, and Farkle walked away.

"We're flying across the border into Canada and then flying to France." Lucas said through his headphones. "Try and get some sleep." He finished, and Riley fell asleep.

"You know, you're really tired. You slept while I carried you to the plane. Riley, we're in Paris." Lucas said, and Riley's eyes fluttered open, looking at Lucas, who loomed over her on the bed.

"Well, I needed my sleep." Riley said, stretching. "So, we're finally in Paris together. What do we do?"

"Before we do anything, I would like to do something first. Riley." Lucas paused, and Riley looked at him, confused, until he got down on one knee. "Riley."

"Yes." Riley said instantaneously.

"Will." Lucas continued, ignoring Riley's constant talking.

"Yes." Riley repeated, looking impatiently at Lucas.

"You." Lucas continued, giving Riley a look that said 'really.'

"Yes." Riley said, shaking her head up and down, all excited.

"Marry." Lucas said, taking a box out of his back pocket and opening it up, revealing a beautiful ring.

"Yes, yes, yes." Riley jumped up and down, not stopping for a single beat.

"Me?" Lucas finished, and he looked up at Riley. She was silent.

And then...

"YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Riley said, grabbing Lucas's head liked she had done on their very first kiss, and pecked him on the lips. Lucas slid the ring onto Riley's finger, and he expected her to freak out about the ring, but instead she tackled him and they rolled onto the bed.

"Good." Lucas said. "By the way, your ring basically was paid for by unstolen money, so please don't lose it, because I can't afford another one." Lucas said, and Riley laughed.

"You couldn't pry it off of me if you tried." Riley said. 

"That's good. Because I have a good feeling of how well your father is going to take this marriage. I had seen your family a month ago. And he made it quite clear to stay away from you."

"You!" Cory Matthews said, once he had seen who he had opened the door to.

"Me!" Lucas teased. "Sir, may I come in for a minute? Please." Lucas said, and Cory shared a look with Topanga, who nodded her head in. Cory opened the door wider and allowed Lucas to come in.

"Please sit Lucas." Topanga said, and Lucas sat.

"Thank you Mr. Matthews, Mrs. Matthews." Lucas said. "I assume you know why I'm here."

"It was bad enough you broke my little girl's heart once, I won't allow you to break it again." Cory defended, and Lucas sighed at him, unclenching his fists.

"I was moving sir, I had no other choice. It's not like I made the decision to move, hell, if I had it my way, I would never have left New York. I would've stayed here with Riley, because I loved her. And I still do Mr. Matthews, you need to help me find her." Lucas said. "I'm begging you."

Topanga sighed. "I'll have Maya tell you anything we find out." She said, and Cory glared at her.

"Topanga!" Cory said, standing up.

"Cory, I know you may think its not the right thing, but I can feel that they're meant to be. They're not going to turn to dust anymore, they'll be princess cut diamonds." Topanga said. 

"Don't you dare go anywhere near Riley!" Cory said, chasing Lucas up off the couch and out of the apartment, slamming the door behind him.

"That felt good." Cory said, nodding all excited.

"You weren't even in the room at that point, you don't know that my father said that." Riley said, and Lucas looked at her. "Yeah, he probably said that at one point or another."

"Your father said that every time he took one of my boots when I was sitting in your bedroom bay window." Lucas said, and Riley laughed. "Well, how about this. We split up and get what we need, and we'll meet at this chapel." Lucas said, pointing to a notebook. "In an hour."

"Sounds like a plan. Fiancee." Riley said, grabbing a key card off the dresser and diving out of the room, Lucas following behind her.

"She's dead." Farkle said, coming into the Matthews's living room.

Maya, Josh, Cory, and Topanga stood up immediately. The others had gone home, and they were the only ones remaining at the Matthews. Topanga grabbed at her heart.

"Riley can't be dead." Topanga said. "It was never supposed to be that way. Mothers should die before their children." Topanga said, collapsing on the couch.

"I'm going to kill him." Maya said.

"Maya, you can't just show up and kill him." Josh said, and he and Farkle shared a look.

"I'm going to kill him." Maya repeated, and this time, Cory was in sync talking with her.

"Okay. Go kill him then." Farkle said, and Josh scooted him over to the side. "Are they going to kill me when they realize she's not dead?"

"Yep." Josh said.

Sorry for the long wait on this chapter. So I'm going to set things straight. Riley is alive. For her safety, Lucas made Farkle and Josh lie that she was dead. So let's see what happens next.
