Girl Meets Senior Year

You...

Riley sat at the bay window staring down at her now two-ring clad left hand. "I'm getting married."

"We are getting married," Maya corrected her.

"Peaches, I'm getting married!"

"To me," Maya added.

"I'm going to be a bride!"

"You remember the part about me right?"

Riley turned to look at Maya, "I always remember you, Peaches."

"I love you, Riles."

"I love you too, fiancé."

"Oh, I really like that new nickname," Maya said before kissing her gently. When she broke contact, Maya spent a few minutes getting lost in Riley's eyes.

"You..." Cory said eyeing Maya as he entered the room.

"Me," Maya said smiling at him. "Oh," she said as she realized what was about to happen. "Bye Riles," she yelled as she darted out of the window.

Cory sprang across the room after her, grabbing her by the ankle. She made it away with all but a shoe.

Riley stared into space, "This seems very familiar."

"I need my shoe back!" Maya called from the street below.

"Maya, come back up here. We need to talk," Cory yelled down.

"Why does this seem so familiar?" Riley asked herself aloud.

"Not a chance."

Riley took the shoe away from her father and held it, "Ooooh."

"Figure it out did ya?" Cory asked Riley who nodded. "Maya, come here!"

"Peaches, he think's you are a teenage boy!" Riley yelled.

"I know exactly what he thinks, Honey. That's why I'm not coming back up," Maya called back.

"Congratulations, girls," Shawn said as he entered the room and looked around. "Where's Maya?"

"Dad chased her out the window like she's a teenage boy."

"Cory!" Shawn yelled. "You chased my daughter out of a window?"

"Well she started it," Cory said.

"Maya, please come up here," Shawn called down.

"Only if you protect me from your crazy friend!"

"I'll take care of Cory, please come up here," Shawn begged.

Maya climbed back up, glaring at Cory.

"Here, Peaches," Riley said handing her back her shoe.

"How could you let this happen, Shawn?" Cory asked turning his anger from Maya to Shawn.

"How could I let two people who love each other and I care about more than anything start planning a life together? Two people, I may add, that could rival the legendary romance that is Cory and Topanga."

"Yes! How could you do that?"

"Are you listening to yourself?" Shawn yelled back.

"I'm not ready for this!" Cory screamed. "She's still a baby!"

"They are the exact same age you and Topanga were!"

"Well, we were babies too!"

"I can't believe you, Cor. I would have thought you'd be excited or at least supportive!"

"I do support them!" Cory realized how he was sounding. "Of course, I support them."

"You chased me out a window, Matthews!" Maya yelled.

Cory walked over and knelt in front of them, "No one has ever or will ever make my little girl as happy as you do, Maya. But she is still my little girl," he took Riley's hand. "I guess I'm not ready to let her go yet."

"I'm growing up, Dad. You have to let me go."

"Yeah, we've met the world. Made it our own. You taught us how," Maya said.

"Take care of my girl, Maya. You're the only person I'd trust her with."

"Well I did already take a bullet for the girl," Maya replied.

"You alright, Cor?"

"Alright, Shawnie."

"Good, can we give these two some privacy?" Shawn asked.

"No!"
