At school, I sat sadly against my locker when a Feeny puppet appeared around the corner. "What is the matter, Ms. Cooper?" he asked causing me to chuckle. "Perhaps more history homework will cheer you up?"

"Yes, Mr. Feeny, more homework just as we're about to go on summer vacation is what I need," I answer. "I see you got your Feeny puppet back."

Eric appeared, lowering the puppet. "He's back and better than ever," he said. "What's the problem, blondie?"

"Everyone's leaving. Shawn's going with his dad, Topanga's going to summer camp, you're traveling. I'm sad."

"You'll miss me, Cooper?" Eric asked.

"Yeah, now I'll never get to scare any of your dates away."

"Hey, I'm still upset about what you did to Gwen," he admitted.

"Be glad I scared her before she sunk her fangs in her neck," I admit.

"Not before she sunk her fangs into my lips," he joked, he smirked.

"That sounds painful," I reply.

"Why are you so whiney again? You're going back to California with your mom and Zack, that's not a sad thing," he said.

"I'll missy my Shawny," I look to Eric. "And you Matthews family, of course."

Eric grabbed my hands, pulling me to my feet. "Come on, Cooper. If it makes you feel better," he reached in the box he put down, he tossed me a large piece of clothing. "You can have these and think of me."

I unwrap the large clothing. "Your giant underpants?"

"Oh, you know Zack is gonna love them," Eric laughed.

"Yeah, sure," I chuckle, folding them.

"And to pay me back, bring me back a hot girl," he replied.

"Eric, I can't just buy you a hot girl who has the patience to date a dingus. They ran out of those."

"Then, call me when you dumped Shawn and you're eighteen," he said.

Later-

I took a break from basketball, sitting on the court as Cory and Shawn played.

"Okay, fine. Topanga's going to camp. And it's an all-girl camp," Cory said, faking right and shooting the ball in left. "But, I mean, there's no threat there. There's more time for us, right? The golden trio of summer," Cory told us.

"Cory, I'm gonna spend the next two months traveling with my dad," Shawn told him.

"And I'm going to California with my family," I add.

"The boy of summer," Cory replied sadly. "All right. Just me. Fine. You know, I thought you said you were staying home this summer?"

"Well, I am. I mean, that's the beauty of a mobile home-wherever you go, you're home," Shawn answered.
