"Eric, this college where you're going for an interview..." His mom looks at him after he walks down the stairs into the kitchen.
"What, Beach State?"
"Yeah." His dad looks up. "This is, like, a real college, right? Uh, 'cause we're looking over this letter you got from the admissions office, and there are an awful lot of typos in it."
"It's a real school." Letty says as she stands up and walks over to where Eric's leaning against the island counter. "It's not the best, but it's real."
"Nobody likes a judger." Eric says as he wraps his arms around her. "Isn't that right, Shawn?" He asks when the younger boy walks into the house from the backyard.
"Huh?" Shawn looks between the two of them as Letty slaps the back of her boyfriend's head.
"Has anybody seen Topanga yet?" Cory asks as he walks in from the living room.
"No, and she better hurry, man, because if we get there too late, the tide comes in, and then we can't park on campus."
Letty shakes her head. "Go pack up the rest of the car." She says as she pulls away from Eric.
"Yes, ma'am." Her boyfriend pecks her cheek before leaving the house with Shawn.
"It makes me feel better to know that she's going with them." Mr. Matthews says, looking at his wife, and the teenager smiles. She then picks up the duffle that Eric left on the floor and heads out after the boys.
"Ah, Miss Black?" Feeny gets her attention when she walks into the backyard, and she turns to look at him. "You're chaperoning the boys on this trip, am I correct?"
"Oh, yeah." She nods.
"Good." He says, and she laughs before heading out to the car.
"Scarlett, I can't pack this." Shawn says as she walks over to him, and she reaches out to stroke his hair.
"There, there, sweet child. I'll handle it." She says, and he swats her hand away from him.
He goes to talk to Cory while she packs all of their stuff into the car. Just as she's finishing up and shutting the trunk, Eric runs up behind her and wraps his arms around her waist before lifting her off of her feet and spinning her around. A short giggle bubbles up in her throat as he sets her back down, and she turns to face him.
"Remind me again why we're taking our brothers." He says as she wraps her arms around his neck, and his hands move to her waist.
"Alec says it's because I'm a pushover and you're whipped." She tells him, and he nods.
