Happy Rucas New Years

Problems?

"Riley is upstairs practicing. I wanted her to be busy when you came." He scanned over Maya's face which was currently trying to figure out how he knew that she was at the door.

"I texted him," Josh said to make Maya realize. "when we got out of the taxi" Lucas nodded and then opened the door wider so they could get in quietly.

"So where is our room?" Maya pointed at the luggage. Lucas had already told Josh so Josh took their luggage back.

"Here's some food. I hope you like-" He was cut off as Maya pushed past him to get to the burgers. As Farkle and Lucas were greeting each other and catching up Maya could hear footstep coming down the stairs. She grabbed Farkle and led him back to where Josh was. They could hear Lucas and Riley talking.

"Oh, I thought I heard someone." Maya heard Riley say. Maya took the last bite of her burger and immediately wanted another. "Lucas, why did you cook all these burgers?"

"Well I was feeling hungry and I figured that we could use the break from me cooking everyday, so why not eat leftovers?" He thought it as fast as he said it.

"Oh, okay. Well I'll head back upstairs, if that's okay?" She really wanted him to go with her but it was obviously busy with something, and she was going to find out what. He nodded so she went to the middle of the stairs and tiptoed down to far enough that she could see them but it would be hard for them to see her. She waited until Lucas headed back and then snuck into the closet next to the front door.

"Lucas you have to be quieter, we can't let Riley hear you and ruin the surprise." Riley heard a voice that she couldn't quite place. 'Why can't I think of who it is?' She took her phone out of her pocket and dialed Maya's number.

"Maya who's calling you? We have to start setup!" Lucas saw M "Okay so Huckle- I mean Lucas wanted us to surprise Riley so he won't be there to pick us up." Farkle and Josh looked at her in shock. "What?" She looked down at her stomach, she was five months now and she was getting kind of big.

"It's just I've never heard you call Lucas by his first name more than once or twice." Farkle was now picking up their luggage while Maya and Josh were trying to get a taxi. When Farkle was headed their way when he saw someone who made him think. He thought that she looked familiar but he wasn't sure.

"Hey, excuse me, you remind me of someone. If I may ask, what is your name?" She turned around and smiled.

"Uhh, Isadora, Smakle, and yours?" She knew why he had asked she had the same hunch about him.

"Farkle Minkus, nice to see you again. I would love to catch up but, My friends are waiting in the car. Maya's pregnant and might get mad if I take too long. Here's my number incase you have some free time." He jotted it down and handed it to her. "See you around!" He started to the door dodging people as he went. When he got to the car Maya was not happy, he could tell.

"What took you so long, the conveyer was maybe twenty feet from us!" Farkle knew that he was going to be yelled at but Maya was in one of her 'moods'.

"Sorry I saw an old friend a-and wanted to say hi." Maya now looked intrigued.

"Oh? Who, do I know this friend?" Farkle didn't really want to answer this question so he started to put the luggage in the trunk. "Well?"

After that no one said anything but Josh was heard letting out a breath. The taxi headed off towards Riley's house and Maya just kept staring at Farkle.
