Rilaya Oneshots

Texas

"We have changed the life of somebody in this room!" Riley chirps, walking into the classroom, with me right behind her. Lucas, Zay, and Farkle look up at us, upon hearing our arrival.

"Please not me." Zay begs.

"I'm happy with my life the way it is. I got tall and my teeth came in nicely." Farkle smiles for emphasis, showing his bright, white teeth. Zay gestures to his teeth for extra effect.

"Yeah, we're not talking about you two." I say.

"Oh no, what did you do!?" Lucas exclaims, standing up.

"Lucas, we know what has always been your biggest regret." Riley smiles.

"Baaaa." I mimic a sheep, smirking at him and his Texan stereotype of riding a sheep.

"What's that? Why would you do that?" Lucas asks, growing more and more fearful at the second.

"Baaaa!" I repeat, this time louder. "You used to a champion sheep rider at the Mutton Busting Rodeo until you fell off Judy the Sheep." I answer his question, smirking at his reaction.

"And then you gave up and you never got over it." Riley adds.

"That is my deepest, darkest secret!" Lucas exclaims. "Nobody knows that I fell off Judy the Sheep except..." He stops, sighing and turning to look at Zay with a glare. Zay grins back at him cheekily. "They made me, Lucas! They made me!"

"How did they make you?" Lucas asks.

"I said y'all want to hear a great Lucas story? They said yes!" Zay answers sheepishly (no pun intended).

"Okay, it doesn't matter, I'm over it!" Lucas turns back to us. "I don't think about that day at all!" He pauses and stares out into space for a couple seconds, flashing back to when he fell off the sheep. "I fell off that sheep so fast." Lucas cries, covering his eyes with the palm of his hand.

"Lucas, you can fix this." Riley puts a hand on his shoulder, trying to cheer him up. "Get back on that sheep and be a sheep champion!"

"We have made that possible." I say.

Lucas looks up in disbelief. "How? How did you make that possible?"

"Show it to him." Riley says. I hold out the certificate. "We have entered you in the annual Mutton Busting Tournament!"

"In Austin, Texas, in front of everyone you know. Yay!" Riley adds, throwing her hands up in celebration.

"You can't enter me in Mutton Buster's. You can't be over 8 years-old or 55 pounds." Lucas says in confusion.

"You are wrong, Huckleberry. We entered you in last week and your application has been accepted." I say.

Riley grabs the certificate from me, reading it out loud. "Congratulations Lucas Friar. You are an official entry in this year's Austin Roundup Rodeo. You will be riding Tombstone the Sheep."

"What!?" Zay exclaims, standing up as well. "Tombstone!? Well that's the end of you." He chuckles, patting Lucas on the back. Lucas sighs slowly sitting back down on his desk.

"Why's it the end of him?" I ask.

"What's the difference between riding Judy the Sheep and Tombstone the Sheep?" Riley asks.

"Read it again." Lucas sighs.

"Blah blah blah." I take the certificate back from Riley. "Over the age and weight limit for Mutton Buster's. Blah. We have placed you in the adult rodeo where you will ride Tombstone the Sheep."

"Ooooh!" Lucas shouts. "You only got one word wrong!"

"Let's see if they can find that one word!" Zay exclaims.
