Exhilaration | Shawn Hunter [Boy Meets World]

The Happiest Show on Earth

At school, Cory was explaining to me and Shawn how his date went.

"You called her Topanga?" Shawn asked.

"Now, Shawn, it's so obvious what's going on here," Cory replied.

"Yeah, you're really bad with names," I sass. "Piece of advice, Zack writes their names on the palm of his hand, Cory."

"No, no. The problem is no matter how many girls I go out with, I still end up thinking about Topanga," Cory said.

"So why did you break up with her in the first place?" Shawn asked.

"I don't know. I mean, I made a mistake. I thought we could be friends like we are. But, you know, when I see Topanga I want to hug her, hold her, kiss her. When I see you guys I have no interest in any of those things."

"Not even a hug? I'm offended," I state.

"Well, so how do you think she feels about you?" Shawn asked Cory.

"I will ask," he replied as Topy walked into class. "Hey, Topanga."

"Hi, Cory," she greeted before sitting down.

"She wants back," Cory told us.

Mr. Turner came into class. "All right, you guys. Remember the papers for the Environmental Essay Awards I had you write at the beginning of the year?"

Shawn stood up with paper in hand. "Oh, yeah. I finished mine last night, Mr. Turner. Enter this puppy."

Shawn tossed Shawn's paper aside. "And here are the winners. On their way to Walt Disney World in Orlando are the following students. Kristen Hoffman."

Cory turned to us. "That's good for her, you know? A week in Florida, a little sun, a little color, a little ocean air could help her get over me."

"Ronnie Waterman," Mr. Turner announced.

"Well, she'll get over you quickly enough with Lips Waterman on the same trip," I state.

"Perfect. Kristen with Lips in Florida. And me free to spend the next week romancing Topanga. You know what, Shawn? Sometimes everything in my life just seems to go my way," Cory stated.

"And our last winner is Topanga Lawrence," Mr. Turner said.

Cory had wide eyes. "I hate my stinking life."

The next day, Cory told us his plan to win back Topy. I had to admit, it was crazy but Shawn told me we could go to so I was in.

Shawn and I approached the Matthews' brothers.

"Hey, Eric," Shawn greeted then looked to Cory's dummy to which Eric high fived him. "Hey, Cor." He yelped when he saw the real Cory.
