Anytime, Riles (rucas oneshot)

** Hi! This is my first one shot, and it's COMPLETELY "Friends" inspired! Mostly by "The One in Barbados". Below is a list of who the characters are inspired by.

Riley Matthews: Monica Geller-Bing
Lucas Friar: Chandler Bing
Maya Hart: Phoebe Buffay
Josh Matthews: Mike Hannigan
Farkle Minkus: Ross Geller

The characters are in college at this time, and they are visiting Barbados to listen to Farkle's honorary speech at a prestigious convention. Enjoy!

"I can't believe that it's been raining this ENTIRE time. Farkle's stupid dinosaur speech took up the entire time it was actually sunny out," Maya said.

Riley rolled her eyes. "Hey, we should be proud of Farkle for his achievements! He deserves all of this!" Riley exclaimed, turning to Maya, who rolled her eyes. "

"Whatever. We have all day, what do we do now?"

"I think I saw a game room downstairs. Arcade games, ping pong, those sort of things," Josh said.

"Ping pong! Lucas, we should play!" Riley exclaimed, tugging on Lucas' arm and doing her little excited-hop thing Lucas loved.

Lucas looked at her and laughed a little. "I don't think so!" He said to Riley. He knew that under her sweet little exterior, she was a hungry, competitive shark when it came to games of ANY sort.

"What?! Why?" Riley looked at Lucas in such an innocent way, it almost made him melt. ALMOST. Lucas looked at her in awe.

"Riles, I love you, but you are a straight up monster when it comes to games," he said as he looked at Riley's face changing. He saw her sneak a little smile for just a second, but change it into a hurt-anger-surprised look. Lucas knew though, that she was not hurt, surprised, or angry. She was just making a face.

"What?! I am not!" She persisted.

Lucas raised his eyes at Riley and looked at Maya and Josh for help.

"Maya?"

"He's not wrong, Riles. We love you, but you're crazy when it comes to games," Maya said to Riley.

"Exactly! Thank you!" Lucas exclaimed.

Riley scoffed. "Name one time I went crazy."

"Okay, remember our little Monopoly incident?" Lucas asked, recalling the "incident".

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU OWN BOARDWALK?!" Riley yelled.

Lucas stared at her for a second. "I mean I own it! You owe me $500!" He exclaimed.

Riley gasped. "$500?! Why so much?!"

Lucas could see the anger building up in her eyes. He wasn't giving up easy though. "I have four houses AND a hotel on that square! That means you owe me more money for rent!"

Riley scoffed. "I am NOT paying you."

"Yes you are."

"Nope."

"Riley! Yes you are! That's how the game works!"

Before Lucas could process what was happening, Riley had picked up the board and chucked it at the wall.

"Riley! What the heck?!"

"What game?" Riley said innocently.

"Yeah I remember that. But I've changed!"

"Well, I'm not playing with you," Lucas declared.

"I'm not either," Maya agreed.

"I'll play you," Josh spoke up.

The three turned to Josh in utter surprise.

"What?!" Lucas exclaimed, seeing Riley's face eagerly light up.

"Josh, you don't want to. She's your niece, you should know about her crazy competitiveness!" Maya told to her boyfriend.

"So? I'll still play her," Josh protested.

"Okay, suit yourself. Josh lead the way to the game room," Lucas said.

"Shall we rally for serve?" Josh suggested when they reached the game room.

"Sure," Riley agreed. Lucas and Maya pulled up chairs and sat down to watch. Josh and Riley rallied for not even 10 seconds before Josh smashes a ball to win the serve. Riley, Lucas, and Maya turn to look at Josh. All three are extremely surprised.

"Oh yeah. I'm awesome," Josh says, looking smug.

"Did you know this about him?!" Lucas asks Maya.

"No idea! Must be a family thing?" Maya replies.

An hour and a half later, Riley announces the score. 41-41. Lucas and Maya both wear tired expressions. Josh and Riley are sweating profusely. Riley serves the ball, Josh calmly returns it, and, while going for the win, Riley hits her hand extremely hard against the edge of the table. She freezes in pain.

"OH MY GOD! OW, OW, OW!" She screams in pain. Lucas rushes to her side.

"Are you okay, Riles?" He asks, clearly worried.

"My hand, I crushed it! I can't play," she sadly says. "I can't believe I have to forfeit!"

"So Josh wins?" Maya asked.

Lucas looked at his clearly-crushed girlfriend.

"No. I'll play for Riley. Sudden death, winner of this point wins," he declared. He saw Riley's face light up as he took the ping pong paddle in his hand. Josh's determined face is unchanging as he serves the ball. Lucas returns the ball and they rally for a while before the rally for the winning point gets heated.

"Oh my God! You don't suck!" Riley exclaimed, clearly surprised. She watched as Lucas makes a great shot, and wins the game.

"And THAT is how it's done!" He happily exclaims as he tosses the paddle on the table and bows. Riley jumps up and happily skips to Lucas.

"You were amazing! Why did you never tell me you could play ping pong?!" She asks.

"Oh I don't know," Lucas responds, but really he does know.

"Well this is great! Now we can enter in doubles tournaments!" Riley exclaims.

"That's why," Lucas says, causing Riley to giggle and plant a peck on his lips. He wraps her into a hug.

"Thank you," Lucas hears Riley say in his ear.

"Anytime, Riles."
