Girl Meets Season 5

Episode 21 - Girl Meets Texas Returns Pt.1

A/N [I'm answering this across three platforms]: So the whole Farkle and Smackle are first thing from the last chapter, it was for "science" honestly I would think they would because they're very curious, but a little background, they were safe and it was consensual and I would probably never write it because knowing them it would be awkward as hell. Some people on have told me that Josh and Maya would have been first, but they've been going on for a year, and Josh would probably be the type to wait because honestly Maya is now Shawn's daughter and well I like to think that Josh is somewhat scared of offending Katy in anyway since he's dating her daughter and he's older. Just remember kiddos if they don't want to use protection, or if they don't care about consent, this goes for both the guys and the girls because that is a two way street, the answer is no and if they try to force themselves onto you, bite their tongue knee them in the nads, punch and kick your way out. No means no!

Now onto the Texas Arc, yes this is a two parter, and yes there's a lot that's going to happen from this point forward as they get close to graduation. So much angst is going to happen. So please enjoy.

-----------------------

There was something different about going to Texas the second time around, it probably had something to do with the fact that they were on an airplane and not the train. Or maybe that Cassie and Smackle were going when they hadn't gone the first time, even Josh who hadn't been there the first time was going. It was also Springtime instead of the Fall, and that it was spring break so they weren't going down there for a weekend. She knew the reason why it had felt different, and that was because the last time they had gone down there everything fell apart so quickly.

Lucas wasn't riding again, this was just a trip for the group to unwind and have some fun away from the stress of waiting for acceptance letters, scholarship letters, or even just the stress of school in general. Riley knew she shouldn't worry but somehow she was worried about what was going to happen regardless. They were already in a van on their way to Lucas's Pappy Joe's place when she realized that she wasn't really ready to face the ranch when it held so many bad memories for her. There had been a few good memories but everything else had been too heartbreaking for her. But the excited voices of her friends forced her to put on a brave face, and ignore the screaming inside of her head.

When they reached the entrance to the house she swore that her heart was in her throat, everyone else talking excitedly to one another, she was just nodding along and talking when she could but other than that it just looked like she was paying attention to the movements around her. She saw the porch where she bumped shoulders with Lucas after telling him that they were brother and sister, the logs around the fire pit where she had told everyone about Maya's feelings, the living room where she broke her own heart.

This is for good memories, she told herself but her heart was telling her to run the other way.

"Riles," Maya said breaking her out of her thoughts, "The four of us are going to share a room."

"Yeah," she said as if on automatic. "I'll sleep on the floor, that way only the three of you would have to figure out who gets the bed."

"Are you sure?" Smackle said looking at Riley as if she was studying her.

"Yeah, I'm sure."

"Riles are you alright?" Maya asked looking at her.

"I'm fine, I guess I'm just tired from the trip over here, and I couldn't really sleep last night either," she said rubbing her eyes for effect. She couldn't understand why she was so rattled by the place.
