*A week later*Farkle's POV:
Today is the day that Enid
and I leave New York City. Riley
has organised a party for us around lunchtime and then we will leave mid-afternoon.
It's gonna be hard to leave the city, I've lived here my whole life, and even though I think I'll come back, it's hard to leave. Because not only am I leaving my home, but my family and friends and what is saddening me most of all, I'm leaving Isodora's resting place, because even though I really love Enid, Isodora was my first love and she said I was her soulmate and I still miss her everyday because I thought she was the one, I was going to marry her. I guess I had to come up with a new plan for my life. Enid, she is my life now, and she is beautiful and amazing and really helped me after I lost Isodora."Farkle? Baby, you ready to go to the party?" Enid asks coming into my room interrupting my thoughts. Wow, she looks stunning.
"Yeah. You look stunning Enid." I stand up from my bed and go over to her and kiss her.
"Thank you Farkle. You don't look so bad yourself." She replies, taking my hand and we walk downstairs to the car and leave for the party.
When we arrive at Topanga's, all of our friends and family are there, waiting for us, even Isodora's parents, I'm still quite close with them even thought I have Enid now, they were happy I have found someone else. We greet everybody and make small talk for a while, before a few speeches are made, by myself, my dad, Enid, Riley and Mr Matthews. It is very emotional, so Maya lightens the mood by bringing out an awesome cake, and then when that has been eaten, it is time for our goodbyes.
"Uh, everyone? It's time." I announce.
"Do you really have to go?" Riley asks me and Enid, giving me a tight hug.
"Yeah, but don't worry, it's summer, you can come see us." Enid replies as Riley and I continue to hug.
"I love you Farkle, you're the best friend.
I'm gonna miss you so much." Riley sobs.
"I'm gonna miss you too Riley, I love you too. And you're wrong, you are the best friend." I reply.
"Goodbye Farkle."
"Goodbye Riley."
Then, Riley moves on to say goodbye to Enid and I say goodbye to Maya."I'm gonna miss you Farkle. You've been so good to me all these years. Just promise you're not leaving me for good?" Maya wraps her arms around me and whispers into my ear, because she doesn't want everyone knowing she is crying.
"Of course not Maya, I'd never do that to you. I'm gonna miss you too." I reply.
"Josh and I are going to visit you in the next couple of weeks, okay?"
"That sounds great. I'll see you soon Maya."
"I'll see you soon Farkle." She quickly wipes away a stray tear that has slipped and goes on to say goodbye to Enid.
"You're the most loyal best friend I could ask for. I'm gonna miss you buddy." Lucas says, pulling me into a hug.
"I'm gonna miss you too. Thank you for always accepting me for who I am, even though I've never been athletic or a jock. You're an awesome best friend. Just please look after Riley and that stunning daughter of yours." I reply, and we slowly release the hug.
"You know I will." Lucas replies, stating the obvious slightly and we simply nod as goodbye.
"Promise me you'll look after Maya for me? She's not as tough as she tells people." I say to Josh.
"Of course, and don't you worry Dr Turtleneck, I see it and I know when she's not okay. She's my world, I'm not gonna let anything happen to her."
"Thank you. You're a really good guy Josh. I'm glad we're friends."
"Me too Farkle, you're a really good guy too. And thank you for looking after my wife and niece all these year, even before Lucas came along."
"It's been a pleasure, they're my girls. I'll see you soon Josh."
"See you soon pal." We hug and then I walk over to Amelie who is playing with Auggie.
"Hi Amelie!" I say, crouching down to her level.
"Uncle Farkle!" She gives me a big hug.
"Momma said you're leaving? And Aunty Eni."
"Yeah, that's right sweetie, we're going to go to school far away."
"I don't want you to go!" She pouts.
"Don't worry, you'll still see us all the time."
"Pinky swear?" She puts out her hand.
"Pinky swear." I link with her pinky and then give her a hug.
"I'll see you soon Amelie. Please don't grow anymore before I see you next though, you are getting too big."
"Okay Farkle. Bye." She hugs me again, she is so cute. She's like Michelle Tanner from Full House.
"Farkle, baby, you ready? It's time." Enid asks me, wrapping her arms around me, after I say goodbye to my parents and Cory and Topanga and Shawn.
"Yeah. Let's do this." I take her hand and squeeze it tightly.
"Bye guys." I say to everyone one last time and we walk out of Topanga's, one final time up to where our car is waiting to take us to the airport for us to leave the city.
"You okay?" Enid asks me as we are on our way to the airport.
"Yeah, I'm just gonna miss them a lot. We've been through so much together that's all, and we've known each other so long."
"It's okay Farkle, I understand, I'll miss them loads too and I haven't known them for nearly half the time you have. But it'll be okay."
"I know, thank you. I love you Enid."
"I love you too Farkle."
"Let's go to Massachusetts." I smile and the car continues to drive us to the airport where we board a plane to the next chapter in our lives.
