Riley and Maya are at Maya's house getting their stuff ready for the sleepover at Farkles
Shawn - Where are you two doing tonight?
Maya - Well we're going to go hang out at Farkles then I'm sleeping over at Rileys tonight.
Cory - Riley?
Riley - Yeah dad?
Cory - You okay? You look distracted.
Riley - Yeah I'm fine, just haven't been feeling well
Cory - Maybe you should stay in tonight, get some rest.
Riley - No it's okay, I'll be fine. I'll call you if I need to.
Cory - Okay girls be safe out there.
They kiss their fathers goodbye and head over to Farkles
Maya - So, this whole Mark thing is still bothering you?
Riley - What do you mean? What mark thing?
Maya - Him and your mother dating?
Riley - Oh yeah. Well of course it's bothering me. I don't think I'll ever understand or be okay with this whole situation. I just want things to go back to the way they were. I want my dad to move back in, I want us to be a family again, i want..
she pauses as she realizes what she was about to say. Something that she wasn't comfortable with talking to Maya about it.
Maya - What? What do you want?
Riley - I just miss the way things were is all
Maya - I know honey, me too. Let's just try to forget all of our problems for tonight. We're going to have fun with our friends and forget okay?
Riley - Okay
Riley smiles. The fake smile. The one where she doesn't want anyone to ask her what's wrong. The one where she doesn't want anyone to find out something. The one where she wants everyone to think she's okay, when she's far from it.
