" The new world." Corey says the next day at school.

" People who live their whole lives in a certain world travel to a new land of new feelings and new opportunities."

Both Riley and Lucas look up at him and then back at each other as Corey continues to speak.

" Having no idea on how to behave in this new society." Corey finishes.

" Lucas, what did you tell him?" Riley asked and it was obvious both of them were uncomfortable.

" Nothing. I am also uncomfortable." Lucas said as he stared forward.

" Wait, so Mr. Matthews doesn't know that Riley kissed Lucas?" Farkle whispered.

Maya grins as she shakes her head.
" No."

Primrose chuckles as she leans back in the seat. " Well, this should be interesting."

" So, everything he says is making them uncomfortable?" Farkle questions with an amused smile on his face.

Primrose and Delaney nod as Maya says, " Uh-huh."

" Shall we take advantage of this?" Farkle asks.

" It would be wrong if we didn't." Delaney joins in.

Maya shrugs her shoulders. " How could we not?"

Farkle grins. " I will begin."

He then stands up and says, " So, Mr. Mathews, tell me. After you've taken the courage to close your eyes and take the face of the new world in your trembling hands..."

Corey stares at him. " What are you trying to say, Farkle?"

Farkle put his hands on his desk. " Are you suppose to be a couple next or what?"

Corey's eyes widened. " Huh?"

" Oh, you don't understand my question? Perhaps my dear friend miss Maya Penelope Hart could help me out." Farkle gestures to Maya who was starting at him with a death glare.

Sarah, who was sat next to Maya, leans over to her with an amused grin as she says, " Penelope."

Maya glares at Farkle. " Farkle..."

Farkle raises his hands up in defense.
" It came out. It just came out." he says this again as he sits back down.

" Penelope?" Lucas smirks as he looks at Maya.

Maya glares at him. " You really wanna mess with me right now, Huckleberry?"

He shakes his head quickly. " No."

Maya nods. " 'Cause you've done quite enough, haven't you?" she then does the kissy face.

" Maya!" Lucas warns and Riley says,
" Maya!" right after he does.

Maya had an amused smile on her face as she looks at Corey. " Mr. Matthews, I think what Farkle is trying to say is once you've kissed..."

Riley's eyes grow wide as she stares forward in fear." Yeep."

" The shores of this new world I bet your friends from the old world would want to hear about how the new world is, and if you don't tell them, well that's just selfish." Maya explained.

Primrose nods in agreement and points at her. " Me and Delaney totally agree with that." she says and Delaney nods.

" What are you trying to say, Penelope?" Corey asks Maya.

" Are you supposed to be a couple next, or what?" Maya asked him.

" Alright," Corey walks out from behind his desk. " What's going on here, guys?"

" Nothing!" Riley quickly replied.

" Could we just please, for once, read from the book?" Riley opens one of her book that was on her desk and starts reading outloud. " 'The boy and the girl had no idea of the changes they would soon be facing. Everything was different including their own bodies..'" Riley's eyes grow wide as she stops reading. " What the..."

" Riley," Delaney speaks up. " That's the health book." she points at Riley book and Riley quickly closes it.

" Word of warning page 73. I don't understand. It makes no sense. It looks impossible!" Farkle stated and it sounded like he really hated it.

Corey stares at him for a moment and then looks over at his daughter. " Riley, what is going on here?"

" Farkle kissed my hand!" Maya suddenly exclaimed.

Corey blinks and then looks over at Farkle. " You did?"

" It was glorious." Farkle replied and for some reason Primrose felt a little bit jealous.

" It was. I went home and questioned everything." Maya added, she then smiled while fluttering her eyelashes.

" Okay," he slowly says and then looks at Riley. " and where were you while all of this hand kissing was going on?"

" Nowhere, with no one doin' nothing with nobody." Riley quickly answers as she stares forward. Corey looks at her weirdly and then looks over at Lucas.

He walks down the aisle over to Lucas and stares at him. Lucas smiled wearily at him before he got up, climbed over Delaney's desk and another girl's desk to get to the door and then ran out of the room.

Delaney looks over at Primrose. " So, that just happened."

Primrose chuckles at her shocked face. Primrose watches as Corey goes back over to Riley and stares at her.

" Auggie now." Riley suddenly says as she looks over at Maya.

" I don't see where else we can go." Maya smiled an amused smile.

Later that day Primrose and Delaney are standing out in the hallway alogn with the other girls in History class, looking at Riley and Maya for an answer, even though Primrose and Delaney already knew the answer they just felt like it would be weird if they weren't there with everyone else.

Riley closes her locker and turns around to see everyone staring at her. " Everybody stop looking at me."

" Tell us." Sarah says.

" I don't kiss and tell." Riley tells her.

" But you did kiss, didn't you?" Primrose asked with a smirk.

Riley rolls her eyes. " Yes."

" Then tell." Delaney grins.

Sarah nods. " And take your time."

Riley stares at them with an annoyed look. " Nothing happened." she looks at Maya besides her. " Back me up, Maya."

Maya then turns around and pretends she's kissing someone and the girls giggle.

Riley points at her. " That's inaccurate."

Maya turns back around and squishes her face while making kissing noises.

Riley nods. " Yeah, that's pretty good."

" So are you guys boyfriend and girlfriend now?" Sarah asks Riley.

" Yeah, what are ya?" Primrose looks over at Riley for an answer.

" I don't know." Riley shakes her head. " Do we have to be something?"

" Riley, you did kiss him." Delaney speaks up.

" What are ya?" Darby asked.

" Look, it just happened." Maya starts to say. " She's not really sure what it all means yet."

" You guys are meant to be together." Darby tells Riley. " Like me and Yogi." she says as Yogi happens to be walking by. " Yogles!" she picks him up bridal style and walks down the hallway.

Riley steps over to Maya. " Will Lucas and I ever have what they have?"

" Boy, I hope not." Maya replies. She looks over at Riley. " You know, Riles, they do have a point. I mean, you like him. He likes you. There was a kiss."

Riley scoffs. " I will not act under peer pressure." she leans over to Maya. " Unless you think I should."

Primrose and Delaney both share a grin before running over to the two girls, the rest of the girls following them as they huddle around Riley and Maya. Primrose and Delaney stand by Maya as they watch Darby and Farkle carry Lucas over while the girls push Riley over and they meet in the middle.

" What are you?" Darby asks after she and Farkle sets Lucas down.

" What are we?" Riley asks, her voice slightly shaking as she looks over at Lucas.

" Are we boyfriend and girlfriend?" Lucas asks her.

Riley tilts her head to the side. " Are we?"

" I don't know," Lucas shakes his head and then after a moment he asks,
" you wanna?"

" I don't know." Riley pauses before asking, " You think, maybe?"

Lucas is silent for a second before he asks, " Wanna?"

" Are they weird, or adorable?" Sarah questions.

" They're both." Primrose stated. Delaney nods. " Definetley both."

" No. Me and Yogi are weird." Darby wraps an arm around Yogi and then looks at Riley and Lucas. " They're adorable."

" She's right about that." Primrose nods.

" What just happened?" Riley asked. " Do I have my first boyfriend?"

" I don't know, what just happened?" Farkle asks with a grin.

" I don't know." Maya grins. " Can't wait to see what happens next."

Primrose's and Delaney's eyes widened when Farkle gets down on one knee. He opens a small black box with a gorgeous rng inside as he looks at Maya who looks at it with wide eyes. Primrose had to admit that her heart hurt just a bit as she watched this and so she looked away and stared at the floor sadly.

Minutes later Riley and Lucas are sitting on top of the bench with everyone in History class surrounding them. " Okay, here we are. What do we do now?" Riley asks.

" Do the obvious." Delaney tells her.

Sarah nods. " You go on a date after school."

" You sit there and look at each other all stupid. Like this." Darby says and then her and Yogi look at each other all stupid.

" Stop." Lucas shakes his head. " Nobody's telling us what to do." he looks at Darby and Yogi. " We're not you. You're you." he looks at Riley. " We're us. We do what we do."

Riley nods in agreement. " Yeah, we do what we do." she leans over to him and asks, " What do we do?"

****

Later that day Primrose and Delaney were hanging out at Topanga's, not so subtly watching how Riley's and Lucas' date was going and it was going awkwardly.

Then Maya and Farkle walk in and they walk over as Maya shows Riley the ring. " Mrs. Farkle Minkus."

Riley looks at her with wide eyes. " You said yes?"

" Yeah, are you crazy? It's just a ring." Delaney says as her and Primrose sits on the seat across from Farkle and Maya.

" She probably only said yes because of it." Primrose added.

" Goodbye Maya Penelope Hart, hello, Mrs. Farkle Minkus." Maya grins as she stares at the ring and at the moment Primrose knew Maya was only in on it for the shiny ring and she couldn't blame Maya, the ring was beautiful, but that wouldn't be the reason why she would say yes.

" All this time, I've been trying to love and appreciate her, but all it took was this big, hunking rock." Farkle said.

" Make a note, Riley." Maya speaks up, not looking away from the ring. " They out one of these in front of our face, and we get hypnotized by the sparkles."

" Wait," Farkle looks at her. " You only said yes because of the ring?"

" I literally just said that was the reason." Primrose rolled her eyes.

" It had nothing to do with me?" Farkle asks Maya.

" That would be pretty shallow of me, wouldn't it." Maya looks at Farkle.

He smiles. " I don't care."

" All right, Farkle, you're a scientist, let's do an experiment." Maya said as she takes off the ring and hands it back to him. " Ask me without the ring."

" Would you marry me?" Farkle asks.

" Die." Maya plainly tells him. " Now ask with the ring." Maya smiles.

Farkle shows her the ring. " Would you marry me?"

Maya starts to tear up as she stares at the ring. " I love you so much."

Farkle smiles. " I believe you." he says as he hands her the ring.

Delaney looks over at Primrose with a grin and Primrose knows that look and she doesn't like it. " Let's do another experiment." Delaney says, getting everyone's attention and Primrose looks at her with a glare.

" I'm intrigued. Go on." Maya grins as she stares at the ring.

" I'm sure not everyone would say yes without the ring, isn't that right, Maya?" Delaney asks.

Maya shrugs. " I guess so." she shows Delaney the ring. " But this ring is so pretty."

Delaney chuckles. " Yes, that's true. But let's do a different experiment." she looks at Farkle. " How 'bout you ask Primrose without the ring?"

Farkle bites his lower lip, wondering why he was so nervous about something that wasn't supposed to be a big deal. He looks at Primrose and without showing the ring he asked,
" Primrose, will you marry?"

And without hesitation she said,
" Yes."

Delaney smiles. " And now with the ring." she looks over at Maya who was still memorized by the ring. " Maya, give back the ring."

Maya pouts and hands him the ring. Primrose felt her heart best faster by the minute as Farkle showed her the ring and she hated how nervous she was.

" Will you marry me?" he asked once again, but this time showing her the ring.

Primrose glanced at the ring and then back at him and again she said, " Yes."

Farkle's eyes widened as she said that. Sure he was very shocked that she said yes the first time, he was just even more shocked she said yes again and without even barely looking at the ring unlike what Maya did.

Delaney grins. " That proves my point."

Maya raised an eyebrow. " What point did it prove?"

" Yeah, what's the difference between her saying yes to both and Maya only say yes to one?" Lucas asked Delaney.

Primrose has never been so nervous in her life before as she was right in this moment. She avoided eye contact with Farkle even though she could feel him staring at her. She then stood up.

" I...I have to go." she said and then quickly walked out before anyone could say anything else.

****

Myra, Primrose's and Xenia's mom, stands in the doorway of Primrose's room, seeing her you best daughter laying on her stomach on her bed and she knew something was wrong.

" Honey, what's wrong?" she asked in a worried tone.

" My life is ruined." Primrose said, but it sounded muffled.

Myra raised a brow. " Why is your life ruined?"

Primrose sat up and looked at her mom with a frown. " Because Delaney basically told my crush that I like him."

Myra tklts her head to the side. " Why would Delaney do that?"

Primrose shrugged. " I dunno. But now it's going to be awkward around me and my crush everytime we hang out and I don't know what to do." she looks at her mom. " Please tell me what to do." she pleaded and her mom chuckles.

Myra walks over to her and sits on the edge of her bed. " If you really like him, then maybe this is a good thing. She was probably just giving you a push to tell him your feelings."

" Yeah, but why did she have to do it in front of our friends?" Primrose asks.

Myra shrugs her shoulders. " I don't know. But this shouldn't change anything between you and your crush. Just act like you have been. Maybe even tell him your feelings and I'm sure everything will turn out fine."

Primrose sighs. " I hope you're right, mom."

****

The next day at school Primrose and Delaney are hanging out in the hallway when Primrose notices Riley and Lucas walk in.

" Hey, " Riley says, getting everyones attention. " We are just friends." she feathered to her and Lucas. " That's what we are and that's what we always have been. And we are not going to hurt that because you guys want us to be something we are not."

" So, go back to your own lives because nobody is moving too fast here." Riley finishes saying with a smile.

Just as she says that, Primrose and everyone else is shocked to see Farkle and Maya walk down the hallway with Farkle wearing a tux and a top hat while Maya's wearing a wedding dress and is holding flowers.

" 'Sup." Maya says and throws the bouquet of flowers towards Riley and she catches them.

Riley looks at Lucas who smiles at her, she smiles and then hands the flower to Darby who was standing behind them with Yogi and Darby smiles.
