Girl Meets Season 5

Episode 24 - Girl Meets Expectations and Reality

It's wasn't a normal Saturday, it had been three weeks since the fight with Riley and Lucas was trying to figure something out, and it didn't have anything to do with college. Mostly it had to do with prom. He didn't know what the expectations for prom were, the only dances they've been to usually ended up in disaster because of one reason or another. With the exception of the year before, but still there was something nagging at the back of his mind.

The best way to deal with questions of any kind was to ask someone directly, so he invited Zay, Farkle and Josh to go out for lunch so they could bounce ideas off one another but also so he could get some answers. The girls were out shopping for dresses, so why couldn't the guys hang out and talk, their tuxes were already picked out because they had the girls tell them how to coordinate the outfits and then they just yelled at them for five minutes before telling them that they'll handle it and all the guys had to do was show up for the fitting.

"Why is prom such a big deal anyway?" Farkle asked looking at them while they sat down in a booth at the Nighthawk diner. "It's just an oversized party."

"It's the last one you'll have while you're in high school," Josh said automatically.

"Says the guy who already graduated," Zay said while looking at the menu.

Lucas wasn't sure if he was going to get anywhere if they were all bickering about tuxes, and the importance of a dance. He sighed and picked up a menu before slapping onto the table.

"What's up your butt," Zay said looking at him and the offending menu.

"What are the expectations of prom?" Lucas said looking at his friends. "In movies they say prom is about finally getting some, while in real life it's just a regular dance. Are there any real expectations for it?"

"I am not having this talk with the guy dating my niece, my brother would kill me if I knew it would happen and I didn't warn him," Josh said trying to push Farkle out of the way because he was blocking the exit.

"I'm not going to have sex with Riley on prom night," Lucas said automatically. He knew that when they were both ready it will happen but until then he wasn't going to push it. "I just want to know how I should treat prom, should it be like a formal date, or a fun date.... I don't know."

"Knowing Riley she probably planned out the whole night," Farkle said to him.

"Nah, she would want Lucas to tell her if something was alright, ever since that fight the two of them talk everything over before they actually do anything," Josh said giving Lucas a knowing look.

"Why do I even bother having guy friends if all I get is sass," Lucas said looking at them.

"Dude we're not girls, we don't have to talk about our feelings," Zay answered him.

"Zay, if Cassie heard you talking like this what would she say?" Farkle asked him and Zay tensed up.

"Yeah especially since you two watch romcoms and dramas, hell you two watched The Notebook for fun the other night," Lucas said to his childhood friend.

"I never said a word," Zay answered automatically before looking around to see if Cassie had heard them talking.

The guys laughed at him for a moment before turning back to their menus, they ordered more food that should be consumed by anyone and they didn't care. Lucas was still mulling over the expectations of prom while shoving a burger in his mouth.

"Lucas don't worry about it," Josh said looking at them. "Listen prom is a celebration, you've survived school for this long, look at everything you've been through and now you're out on the other side kind of celebration."
