Elliott walked down the school hallway and sees his sister clamps the curler on her eyelashes then started screaming.

"Anybody else would stop," Maya reminded her but Riley continued to scream.

"Open it," Elliott told her with a look of confusion.

Riley opens the eyelash curler, "Thanks, Elliott."

"Yeah, okay," Elliott mumbles.

"Yeah, okay," Riley said. She then hands the eyelash curler back to Addison.

"Ladies and Elliott," Farkle greeted as he walked over.

"Farkle," Riley and Maya said in unison.

"School dance. I'm gonna put you both down for Dance Numbers one through all of them. We will alternate. You and me, me and you. When you're not dancing with me, you may not dance with anyone else. So you may sit and wait until you dance with me again," Farkle instructed.

"Yeah, none of this is happening," Maya chuckled.

"Well, may I have one dance with each of you?" Farkle asked.

"Sure," Riley agreed.

"Ha! That's all I wanted. You just got played by Farkle," he says then leaves.

"Anywho... Hey, Maya. I was wondering if you didn't have a date to the dance if you would like to go with me," Elliott suggested.

"Yes! I'd love to be your date to the dance!" Maya immediately agreed and hugged Elliott.

"Okay, Maya, you can let go of him now," Riley reminded.

Maya quickly let go of Elliott then tried to play it cool, "I mean yeah, sure, whatever. I don't care." She soon said after.

After school, Elliott heard that Maya hasn't gone to school and that Riley wasn't going on Cyclone with their father.

He walked down the hall to Riley's room to check on them to see what's going on.

"Hey! So I heard someone's not going on the Cyclone with dad and that someone didn't go to school today," Elliott informed as he walked into the room.

"Elliott, tell Maya to come back to school. Regular school," Riley told her older brother.

"So, you don't like this, huh?" Elliott questioned.

"Of course not! Maya always comes to school with me. She always picks me up at seven. I look forward to it," Riley said.

"Like a tradition," Elliott smirked.

"Yeah! Oh. You know, even though you're my brother, that was creepy good," Riley complimented.

"So, Maya doesn't show up like she's supposed to and how does that make you feel?" Topanga asked as she walked in.

"Oh..." Riley puts her hand on her heart.

"Honey, you have to go to him. He feels bad. You have to go to your father," Topanga told her.

"I feel bad. Will he come to me?" Maya asked.

"No. He's your teacher. He doesn't have to," Riley said.

"But he will," Elliott assured.

"What?" Maya said in confusion.

"He doesn't have to, but he will," Topanga added.

"Why?" Riley asked.

"Because he's always there," Topanga said.

Cory enters the room and holds his hand out to Maya.

Maya takes it and they exit. Downstairs, Maya and Cory are sitting down at the kitchen table.
