*later that afternoon having evaded her parents and brothers until now her mother called up that dinner was ready*
Maya: okay, time for you to meet the rest of my family
Lucas: great!
Maya: my dad is probably going to try and kill you
Lucas: I'm like the opposite to a boyfriend he needs to kill like I barely even hold your hand
Maya: good point, but Joey will try and make you his best friend
Lucas: fine by me
Maya: he can be pretty annoying
Lucas: my best friend is Farkle freaking minkus I think I'm good
Maya: true
Lucas: any other problems to worry about?
Maya: my mom can be super creepy and say really odd and awkward stuff
Lucas: again you've met our friends right
Maya: another good point and I guess Parker will like to have a smart guy to talk to I mean joeys really smart too but parker doesn't really want to do that with his big brother
Lucas: okay I got this, let's go
Maya: okay
*they walk downstairs and into the kitchen where everyone is already sat at the table*
Maya: everyone is like you to meet Lucas, he my umm....friend from New York
Lucas: I've been demoted again
Maya: my boyfriend for New York
Pete: BOYFRIEND?!?!
*he literally flies up out of his chair making everyone jump a little*
Pete: MY LITTLE BABY GURL HAS A BOYFRIEND?!?! BUT THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE ONE I DIDNT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THAT WITH!!
Maya: dad calm down
Lucas: mr Rooney sir, I promise I hold the highest respect for your daughter and aim to be the perfect gentleman for her
Maya: dad we barely even hold hands, like we rarely kiss
Lucas: sir I promise you I have always taken the best possible care of your daughter that I could
Pete: how long has this been a THIG then?!?!
Maya: a little over three years
Pete: THREE YEARS?!?!?!?!
Karen: Pete sit down!! Lucas seems like a very nice boy
Maya: he is
Karen: well it's nice to meet you, I'm Karen her mother
Lucas: it's lovely to meet you too Mrs Rooney
Parker: so Maya has better luck holding a boyfriend than either of you two
*the other shoot daggers at Parker with their eyes*
Joey: well hello Lucas nice to meet you
Lucas: you too Joey
Joey: he knows my name!!
Maya: yeah, cuz I told him
Joey: still!!
Maya: why can't I see this relationship lasting beyond this meal?
*lucas kisses her cheek*
Lucas: sweetheart you're family seem like such nice people
*they all sit back down*
Pete: so you know about her Aspergers
*he just goes straight in for the kill but to his surprise Lucas repeals this*
Lucas: yes sir I do, and I think it makes her even more amazing
Pete: but it can be very demanding and make relationships of any kind very uncomfortable
Lucas: I know, my sister was diagnosed when she was a little kid so I've been raised around it
Pete: oh
Maya: yeah isadora, she's lovely, one of my best friends
Lucas: so I find it quite easy to recognise the signs when Maya's getting bad and I've learned how to calm her down
Maya: he soothes me in a way no one else does
*they smile at each other*
Pete: I CANT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THIS ONE AND I DONT LIKE IT!
Maya: MAYBE THERES JUST MOTHING TO FIND!
*everyone looks at Maya in shock, she runs out of the room in tears, and everyone watches*
Lucas: I knew she was off, damn I should've done something, if you'll excuse me
*they all nod and look at each other, life with Maya might be about to get a little harder than they had first thought, Lucas finds Maya on her bed in tears*
Lucas: you okay babe?
Maya: yeah I just wish he would stop, I just don't even know what that was, why does this have to happen to me?!
Lucas: baby I don't know
*he sits down on the bed, puts her in his lap and rocks her back and forth for a few minutes, then eventually she looks up at him*
Maya: we should go back
Lucas: you sure you're good now
Maya: I think so......I just.....yeah
Lucas: okay then
*she slides her hand into his for comfort and then he kisses the top of her head before then go back down and into the kitchen*
Maya: sorry
*they smile at her and then shake it off*
Karen: anyway let's eat
