The music was loud and pumping as the group of friends jumped around together in celebration of Lucas regaining his memory of them.

After a moment the music slowed, a softer love song played making Lucas smile. He looked at the two best friends who were catching their breath after jumping around and held out his hand to the shorter of the two.

"May I have this slow dance, ma'am?" He took off his cowboy hat and pulled out a red rose, giving it to her.

Maya smiled up at him and took the rose. "Sure thing, Cowboy." She handed the rose to Riley who smiled and placed it gently in Maya's purse on the table behind them. Then she watched her best friend walk off with the guy that she once wanted herself.

"May I have this dance?" A voice asked making Riley turn to him.

"Shouldn't you ask Smackle?"

Farkle just smiled. "Too intimate. We're not there yet, but she doesn't mind me asking you." He held out his hand and she took it then he led her back to the dance floor and positioned himself in the gentleman's way.

Riley took his hands and they danced. They weren't holding onto each other like Maya and Lucas, they bodies weren't touching at all, but it still felt nice. The way they glided around the dance floor to the melody playing.

Lucas had his arms wrapped around Maya as her head rested on his chest. They swayed back and forth while Riley and Farkle danced around them.

After a moment Lucas pulled his face up from her head and stared down into her eyes. "I love you, Maya Hart."

Maya looked up, blushed a little, then she let out a chuckle. "I love you too, Huckleberry." She leaned up as he leaned down until their lips met.

Lucas pulled back again, his eyes slightly misty. "How could I forget you?" He frowned a little.

Maya smiled up at him. "I'm just glad you remembered. I was worried."

He grinned. "I'm glad I remembered too. I never want to forget you again."

Maya rested her head back on his chest tightened her hold around him.

Riley smiled at her friends. The song had changed, but they we're too wrapped up in each other to notice.

Riley, Farkle, Smackle, and Zay danced around the couple to the best of the new song making sure no one would bump into the couple in love.

It was the best night of their lives.
