Girl Meets Season 5

Episode 15 - Girl Meets a Single Moment Pt.1

Riley couldn't figure out how she got there, it was supposed to be a normal trip with friends and family. Except she was at the bottom of a ditch and her head hurt, and she's pretty sure she broke her leg.

"Now I understand why dad hates skiing," she said to no one in particular.

It had started snowing again and she was afraid that no one would find her. All she wanted to do was go for a walk while everyone else skied, she was walking down one of the paths and sat down to watch the snow fall. She tripped on the way back lodge and fell down a hill, only to find herself hurt and her phone broken.

------ Ten Hours Earlier ------

"Come on kids' time to get up," she heard her mother said and Maya rolled onto her.

Maya started throwing her hands in the air making Riley giggle before she rolled off and climbed off the bed. The girls all stood in the bathroom getting ready one by one, at six in the morning it was a lot of work when they were all half asleep. The guys were already dressed when they made their way downstairs. Since there were so many of them going on the trip Farkle's father had chartered a bus for them all to ride up to the lodge. His parents were coming along but they had to go to a function the night before so they were going to meet them on the bus.

"Why are we awake so early," Maya said before she sat down on the couch next to Smackle who was reading a book. "How are you not tired?"

"I wake up at this time every day," Smackle answered.

Maya groaned before Lucas walked into the apartment carrying cups of coffee, with his dad and Zay behind him with bags of food and drinks.

"Breakfast is here," her father said as he closed the door.

"Give me coffee," Maya said glaring at Lucas.

They sat in silence as they ate, Riley ignored the coffee just so she could nap on the way to the resort. Everyone walked outside once they were done and waited until the bus pulled up. Riley yawned and Lucas just smiled at her like he knew that she wanted to fall asleep next to him.

"So Riley is sitting next to me," her father said before Riley turned to him giving him the death glare. "Uh fine, you can sit next to him."

"Come on Cory," her mother said pulling him away. "We're going to sit together... towards the front of the bus, away from a rowdy group of teenagers."

"We're not rowdy," Maya said looking at them.

"Maya you just drank three cups of coffee, you're going to be rowdy," Shawn said walking over to them. "Now on the bus you all go."

Lucas walked them to the farthest seats at the back of the bus, everyone else sat towards the middle or the front excited for the trip.

"I know you didn't drink the coffee just so we could cuddle and sleep," he said smiling at her.

"Well it reminds me of how we spent the trip back from the ski lodge the first time," she said smiling.

"Riley that's because you had been awake for two days straight and needed to get some sleep."

"Yeah well it was still sweet."

"Yes it was," he said pulling a blanket over them. "Get some sleep, I'll wake you up when we get there."

"Okay," she said snuggling herself up next to him. Lucas gave her a kiss on her forehead and rubbed her arm until it lulled her to sleep.

The trip to the ski lodge was four hours upstate, it wasn't the Mount Sun Lodge, it was somewhere new without all of the memories that her parents had from years before. This was somewhere new where they could all make memories. Riley dreamt of long walks in the snow with Lucas, and building snowmen with Auggie and Ava, she dreamed of a night under the stars and hot cocoa with her friends. Most of all she wanted to find something that would commemorate the moment just like the last time.
