It was early the next morning and Maya wakes up in her bed feeling good.
She was sure she was in tears the previous night but now she is okay.
To say the truth she can't wait to get the day started.
She was just getting ready for the day to start when she heard her door open and sees Shawn.

"Shawn? What's up?" Maya asked as she sat up.
"You okay? You were pretty upset last night," Shawn said.
"Yeah I'm fine. I was just a bit.. I got some news which made me a bit sad but I'm fine now. To say the truth I'm ready for the day. Could you drop me off at school?" Maya asked.
"Yeah get dressed then I'll prepare breakfast," Shawn said and Maya went out of bed.

She quickly put on the outfit and necklace her boyfriend gave her for her birthday.
She smiles as she knows that he loves her so much he'll protect her with everything he has.
Even if it means getting killed himself.
When he read the letter from her father last night and when he tried to comfort her after she was basically in tears she knew that she already found her Mr Right, Mr Perfect.
Now all she had to do was to find out what he does think about last night.

It was late the afternoon and just about everyone was at the bakery.
They were hanging out like in the old days.
Maya, Josh, Shawn, Katy, Riley, Lucas, Cory, Topanga and Auggie which were unusual since they never hang out together.

"I have some news," Maya said from where she was sitting next to Riley.
"I was called in to audition for a competition which takes place in two weeks. I'm going to enter," Maya said.
"What competition? Art?" Topanga asked knowing Maya does do art.
"Music. They want me to go for Abigail Adams. I've been doing music for a while since school started and I really want to try something new. The competition is on the third February and I'm going to have the rehearsal in a few days if I do get in," Maya said.
"That is amazing. I'm happy for you," Josh said making Maya smile along with Cory.
"Remember that one time I told you that maybe someday you'll meet a woman as wonderful as Topanga?" Cory asked making his brother smile.
"Yeah, I think I already have," Josh said.

Maya's heart beats fast at that sentence and she can't stop pretending that she hopes one day they will also end up like Cory and Topanga.
For Josh to say he thinks he already found his Topanga at just the age of eighteen makes Maya so happy she can truly burst into tears.

It was later the night and Maya and Josh was just at his apartment busy with a lot of other stuff.
Maya had a test to learn for which Josh helped her and after that they just drank coffee.

"You nerves about tomorrow? The audition?" Josh asked and Maya nod.
"So so nerves. But I'm hoping that I actually get it. I'll do the competition in Manhattan then. Is it idiotic to think I have a chance?" Maya asked and Josh shook his head as he threw his arm around her shoulder.
"Not at all. You have an amazing voice and let's face it. The person who doesn't take you is an idiot," Josh said and Maya pulled out a file revealing a few songs.
"I need help. I can't decide on the song and I really only have a few more hours. Audition is tomorrow in Manhattan," Maya said and Josh looked through the file.

He saw a name of a song which he immediately liked and handed it over.

"That one. I definitely haven't heard of a song like that before," Josh said.
"Because your girlfriend wrote it. They want me to go with an original song and to put more pressure on me I have to sing the same song I auditioned with at the competition," Maya said.
"What is so bad about it?" Josh asked.
"The average people each year there is about six-nine thousand people. I'm nerves," Maya said.
"I'll tell you what. I'll drop you off at the place tomorrow then I can be some support as well
Who knows? Maybe you will have more courage," Josh said.
"Thank you Sweetie," Maya said giving Josh a kiss.

It was the next day at a studio in Manhattan, New York.
Maya and Josh were waiting for Maya's name to be called and she was super nerves.
Maya had wore something she wears everyday knowing she doesn't Café what she does look like.
She wore the necklace Josh gave her for good lunch and hoped that she would actually get in.

"Maya Hart," she heard her name and she went up to the stage.
"Welcome. What will you be singing for us?"
"I will be singing On Purpose," Maya said trying not to sound nerves.
"Writing by?"
"Original," Maya said.
"Go ahead when you're ready," the man said.

Maya took one look at Josh giving him a smile before she started to sing.

"Your eyes crashin' into my eyes
Was I accidentally falling in love?
Your words didn't mean to heal the hurt
Were coincidentally more than enough
All these days I never thought
That I would need someone so much
Who knew?
But I don't think I ever planned
For this helpless circumstance
With you
You're scared, I'm nervous,
But I guess that we did it on purpose, on purpose, on purpose.
Baby, I know it's weird, but it's worth it
'Cause I guess that we did it on purpose, on purpose, on purpose
But I guess that we did it on purpose
But I guess that we did it on purpose
My dreams running into your dreams
It's as if we wished on the same star
And my time changing all of your time
It's a "butterfly effect" on my heart
All these days I never thought
That I would need someone so much
Who knew? Who knew?
But I don't think I ever planned
For this helpless circumstance
With you (oh, oh, oh, oh)
You're scared, I'm nervous,
On purpose.
But I guess that we did it on purpose, on purpose, on purpose.
Baby, I know it's weird, but it's worth it,
But I guess that we did it on purpose, on purpose, on purpose.
But I guess that we did it on purpose
But I guess that we did it on purpose
Lost in darkness
You're my focus
Love me hopeless
But I guess that we did it on purpose
Lost in darkness
You're my focus
Love me hopeless
Oh, you're scared
You're scared, I'm nervous,
But I guess that we did it on purpose, on purpose, on purpose.
Baby, I know it's weird, but it's worth it
'Cause I guess that we did it on purpose, on purpose, on purpose
Lost in darkness
You're my focus
Love me hopeless
But I guess that we did it on purpose
Lost in darkness
You're my focus
Love me hopeless
But I guess that we did it on purpose."

The people clap their hands as they quickly talked under each other.
It was definitely a difficult decision to make.
They had no doubt.
But how on earth were they going to make this work?

"Okay Ms Hart. It was pretty difficult. But we made our decision. We'll be in contact with Abigail Adams about the time and place. You got in. Congratulations."
"Thank you Sir. Thank you for your time," Maya said and went of the stage immediately to Josh.

"Excited? Nerves or all of the above?" Josh asked.
"How am I going to do this Josh?" Maya asked and Josh gave her a hug.
"With love. Come. Let me take you home so you can rest and from next week you can start rehearsals. You did great Sweetheart," Josh said and Maya gave him a hug.
