Riley Matthews was asleep in bed. She and her boyfriend of four years, Lucas Friar moved out to LA after they finished high school, she wanted to pursue her acting career and Lucas was studying to become a veterinarian at the University of California. The sun was streaming through the curtains, Riley felt her boyfriend kiss her and opened her eyes.
"Hey, Riles. It's time to get up." Lucas said.
"Hi, what's the time?" Riley asked.
"Just after 5am. I know you have to be at work by 6.30." Lucas said.
"No, I wanna stay in bed. With you." Riley said.
"How about I come with you today since I don't have a class." Lucas said.
"No you can't. Josh is coming today, and I told him you would pick him up." Riley said.
"Well ok, but can I at least drive you to work." Lucas asked.
"Of course you can." Riley said and Lucas picked her up and took her to the kitchen so they could eat, otherwise she would of stayed in bed for the whole day.

The drive to the set was a relatively quick one, Riley and Lucas shared a five minute kiss until she had to go to work for the day. When Riley got into work, the writers wanted to talk to her about a love interest for her character.
"Riley, we think your character should have a love interest." One of the writers said.
"Yeah but I asked not to have a love interest. The only way I will have one is if my boyfriend Lucas plays my love interest on the show." Riley said. Riley knew Lucas could act and amazingly at that, however that wasn't his career goal, it was hers but she would ask him if he would be interested. The writer didn't say anything more, however Riley spoke again.
"I will talk to Lucas tonight, and if he agrees, I will have a love interest and if he doesn't I don't." Riley said and she walked away from the writer.

Lucas was standing in the arrivals area of LAX, waiting for Josh. He had to do a double take when he saw Maya Hart walking hand in hand with Josh. He couldn't believe that Maya was in LA. The two finally reached Lucas.
"Pancakes what are you doing here?" Lucas asked hugging her.
"I decided to surprise Riley." Maya said.
"Hey Josh." Lucas said also hugging him. The three started to walk to Lucas' car.
"So are you two finally dating?" Lucas asked. He noticed that they were holding hands again.
"Yeah we are." Maya said.
"And for how long?" Lucas asked.
"We just started dating last week." Josh said.
"And why didn't we know?" Lucas asked.
"Because we decided to tell you when we came here." Maya said.

That night Josh went and got Chinese takeout as Riley was exhausted from her 11 hour day on set. Of course Riley happy danced when she found out that Maya was dating Josh, even though when she was 13 she didn't want her best friend to be her aunt, now she doesn't care. While they were eating Riley told Lucas about the onscreen love interest.
