I'm scared awake by someone jumping on my bed and landing on my back. "Wake up Peaches!" I roll over and knock my best friend off me. "Riles why am I awake?" I grumble out looking at her. "We are going to the beach today!" She exclaims. "We who?" I ask and she just smiles at me. "You'll see. Now come on. Get dressed. Breakfast is ready." She tells me and I nod before getting out of bed and getting changed into my bathing suit before pulling on a flannel and shorts.

I walk into the kitchen and sit in between Smackle and Riley. "Good morning sweetie." Topanga says as she places a plate in front of me. "Morning Topanga." I reply before I dig into my food.

"How did you sleep last night Peaches?" Riley asks me. I'm about to respond when someone else walks in. "Morning Family." I look up and see Josh walking into the kitchen in just his pajama pants and no shirt. That's when I notice a tattoo on his chest. I'm quickly pulled out of my thoughts by a jab in my ribs. "I'm sorry what was that?" I asked with a slight blush crawling up my neck. "My uncle said good morning to you." Riley tells me as she smirks. "Oh sorry. Morning Boing." I say as I take a bite of my food. He smirks at me from across the table. "What are you guys smirking at?" I ask as I notice my friends smirking at me along with Josh. "What did you just call him?" Smackle asks me. I look at her confused. "What do you mean? I called him by his name didn't I?" "I guess so if his name is Boing then sure." Smackle says back I blush a little darker. I finish my food and stand up. "I'm going to go and get my stuff ready for the beach." I just about run out of the kitchen and up to my room.

About half an hour later I'm finishing up packing for the beach when my computer starts ringing with a Skype call request. I answer it and sit in the chair. "Is that Maya Hart - Hunter in casual clothes?" The voice on the other end comments. "Hi Drew. What do you want? Is everything okay over there?" I ask my assistant manager and friend with a smile on my face. "Everything is fine Maya. Stop worrying so much about us over here. I was just calling to see how your vacation is going so far." I laugh with him. "I've only been here for like a day and a half. But it's going good I guess other then that." I tell him. "How is Teo and the kids?" I ask him about his husband and their kids. "They're doing good. They miss you and say hi." I smile at the thought of his family. When I first started my internship at the gallery he was struggling with his proposal and their adoption paperwork because he had only just come out as gay a year before so I helped him and they became my only friends in London.

"Maya we're heading out in a few minutes." Josh says walking into my room without knocking. "JOSH!" I exclaim turning to face him. "What? What did I do?" I sigh and shake my head. "You should have knocked I could have been changing for all you knew." He just shrugs his shoulders looking between me and my computer with a slight scowl crossing his handsome face. "Yeah. Okay. I doubt that." He says walking out.

I turn to look back at Drew and see Matteo walking into the frame. "Hey love missing London yet?" He asks and I nod with a smile on my face now. "Mainly missing you all. It's nice to have a break from work for once though." I respond. "Okay now my question is." Drew starts and I cock my head to the side and raise my eyebrow urging him to go on. "Was that Mr. Someday?" He finally asks with a smirk on his face. I sigh and nod. "Yes. That was Josh. The man I had made that someday deal with when I was in high school. And my best friend Riley's uncle." I reply with a chuckle. "I better go though. We're heading to the beach. Send the kids my love and I will talk to you guys soon." We all say our goodbyes before I end the call and shut my laptop.

I walk downstairs to see all my friends waiting. The only person missing is Josh. "So is your uncle coming along or is it just us today?" I ask Riley. She looks to the side and I sigh at her before nodding. "Okay." I say shrugging and walk out the door with her following behind me. "Okay? Okay?! That's all you're going to say?" She exclaims as we get to my car. I lean against the hood of it while she stands infront of me confused. "What more do you want me to say Riles? No he can't come with us? Yay he's coming with us? All I can say is okay."  I tell her as I cross my arms. "I'm not that overly hyper girl I was when we were kids. Not anymore. I grew up and so did my attitude towards your uncle. When someone just cuts you out even after they made promises to you about a someday together, that happens. I'm not going to sit back and sulk about it or make a big stink about him hanging out with us. He's your family and you guys are close so I'm just going to deal with it. Like an adult." I say just as everyone else finally comes out.

"About damn time. You guys take forever." I say loud enough for my friends to hear. Farkle and Smackle laugh at my comment while Zay, Lucas and Josh talk about something else. "So how are we going to do this? Do we bring all of our cars or just two.  Because one car isn't going to fit all of us." I ask looking between Riley and her fiancé. "Why don't we take the two cars. We have a bit of a bigger car so why doesn't Farkle, Smackle and Zay come with Ri and I and Josh could go with Maya?" Lucas suggested. "Or Ranger Rick you and Josh could drive together and I can go with Riles." I suggest as I lean against my car again. "I think Lucas had a great idea. Josh will go with Maya and everyone else is with us." Riley agrees causing me to internally groan. "Fine. We'll follow behind you." I respond as I grab my car keys out of my backpack.

I motion to Josh to get in the car and he does. When I start it up he reaches over to change the radio station. I smack his hand away. He goes to complain but I shake my head. "Nuh-uh. Drive picks the music shotgun shuts their cake-hole. In other words don't touch my stereo and complain about it." He sighs and sits back in his seat.

We pull out of the driveway behind Riley and Lucas. The first few minutes of our drive was quiet. Awkward but quiet. Until Josh spoke up. "So who was that guy you were talking to earlier?" I glance at him for a split second before looking back at the road. "You mean when you walked into my room uninvited?" I questioned him with a slight raise of my eyebrow. "Yeah sorry about that." I nod slowly when he says that. "That was Andrew. My assistant manager and close friend. He's the one looking after the Art Gallery while I'm here." I reluctantly answer his question. "So? You two seemed close." He states and I nod again. "Yeah we are. I helped him with his proposal. And I helped him and his partner when they were going through the whole adoption process." I explain to him. He's about to say something when we pull up to the beach.

I get out and grab my bag from the back seat. When I close the door Josh is standing beside me. I look up at him. "Is everything okay Josh?" I ask and he chuckles nodding his head. "Everything is fine Gorgeous." He says with a smirk on his face I shake my head at the nickname from the first chistmas I saw him again. "We should go and find the others." I tell him before walking away. Right as I try to get ahead of him he rushes to my side.

"Are you trying to get away from me Ms. Maya?" He asks chuckling I sneak a quick glance at him before I roll my eyes. "And if I am?" I question back he chuckles again. "Then I'm gonna have to change that." He confidently states and I sigh. "Yeah. Okay." I reply as we reach our group. Riley looks at me smirking and I lightly glare back at her. "Oh good you didn't kill him." Zay comments and the other laugh. I walk up to him and smack him upside the back of his head with a small smile on my face.

********
A/N: So I know that in the show Josh isn't a flirt with Maya but in this they are older and it works with how I want the story to go so I'm sorry. And I put in a small Supernatural (the show) reference.
