AFTER THAT SUPPOSED TO BE FIASCO, Riley immediately drags Merumo and Maya away from the boys and into their room to change clothes.
The wallflower frowns as Riley was picking clothes for her to wear. Maya was being silent for once.
"Riley." the brunette flinches, slowly looking at Merumo with a big faux smile. "What was that?"
Maya looks at Riley, confused, wanting an explanation. The girl sighs. "Maya, you need to know about your feelings for Lucas so I backed off."
Merumo's eyes widen at the declaration. Maya was looking at her in disbelief. "But I don't like Lucas that way!" the blonde shouts.
Riley sighs, shaking her head. "You're gonna know soon enough."
Merumo pursued her lips, opting to change the subject. She would get guilty again when a fight started because of her curiosity.
"Hey Riley, do you think this top would. . . suit me?" she grimaces, holding up a top. It wasn't her style but she needs to woman up to avoid conflict.
"No! Let me style!"
"That's mean, Maya. . . Okay, Merumo put that top down."

"WHOA. GENTLEMEN, LOOK HOW LUCKY YOU ARE. YOU TREAT 'EM RIGHT." Pappy Joe says, smiling as the three girls walk out of the house.
Merumo smiles in gratitude before walking up towards Farkle and Zay with a glint in her eyes. The two boys sighs, knowing that Riley was stubborn about it.
"Thank you, Pappy Joe." Riley smiles before turning to look at the sky and Lucas. "I see why you get homesick for Texas sometimes, Lucas." she starts. "I never knew that the sky had this many stars."
The brunette then walks up to Lucas, her hand slunged on his shoulder, hugging him by the side with a smile.
"You know what else? I don't get nervous when I'm with you anymore." taping his shoulder, she continues. "We're doing the right thing."
Merumo grimaces, almost cringing at the sight. "Riley. . ." she was about to call out to stop her but Farkle stops her. The boy shakes his head as she just sighs in defeat.
Riley then looks up with a smile. "Ah. Remember when we couldn't even say "hi" to each other?" she reminisces. Merumo smiles at that, she always saw that interaction. She had a video of that for future blackmail if she needed something after all.
