TEASER

FADE IN:

INT.TOPANGA'S – DAY

Zay and Riley are sitting at the couch,holding hands.

ZAY

So...are we telling him or what?

RILEY

I think he knows it already.

ZAY

You think?

RILEY

He's smart enough and he was so distant this morning.

ZAY

This is exactly what I was scared of.

RILEY

Being in a relationship with me?

ZAY

No.My friendship with Farkle is falling apart.

RILEY

I am not gonna let that happen.

ZAY

It's over,Riley.There's nothing any of us can really do.

RILEY

I am gonna make everything better.

They kiss,as Farkle enters the Topanga's,seeing them two.

FARKLE

Geez.

Zay stands up and gets closer to Farkle,as he notices him.

ZAY

Farkle!Wait!

FARKLE

You were right...I guess.

ZAY

I wasn't.No one was right and no one was wrong.

FARKLE

Can you leave me alone now?

ZAY

Can I explain?

FARKLE

What?You will explain to me how Riley choose you over me?

ZAY

I am sorry.

FARKLE

I don't care.

He sits at the bar,as Zay walks towards Riley.

ZAY

He hates me.

RILEY

He doesn't hate you.He's just...drinking beer already...apparently.

ACT ONE

FADE IN:

INT.LUCAS'S AND MAYA'S APARTMANT – LIVING ROOM – DAY

Maya is sitting at the sofa,watching TV.Lucas comes,a bit mysterious.

MAYA

I am sorry,okay?

LUCAS

Maya...

MAYA

I never meant to keep silent about the ring for that long.I was scared and...surprised.

LUCAS

Maya...

MAYA

I mean...who hides the ring in the wardrobe?

LUCAS

Will you listen to me?

MAYA

Sorry.

LUCAS

I am not angry.

MAYA

Really?

LUCAS

I knew you'd find it someday.

MAYA

How long would you wait for it to happen?

LUCAS

All my life...I think.

Maya smiles.

LUCAS

Come here.

She stands up,as they hug.

MAYA

I love you so much.

LUCAS

I love you too.

They split,as Lucas gets on his knee.

MAYA

Lucas...

He takes the same ring from the pocket,proposing to her.

LUCAS

Maya Hart...will you marry me?

Maya keeps looking at the ring,smilling.

MAYA

Of course I will.

He gets up as they kiss and hug,looking really happy.

INT.TOPANGA'S – LATER

Farkle is sitting at the bar,drinking.Zay and Riley are still sitting at the couch,looking at him.

ZAY

Riley...I can't let him do this.

RILEY

He's not doing anything.He's just drinking.

ZAY

Yes...it's how things begin.

RILEY

I don't think he'd become alchocolic over just one beer.

ZAY

Now is one beer,in a couple of hours about five and tomorrow ten.

RILEY

You are overreacting.

ZAY

He's really hurt.He really loves you.

RILEY

Well...I don't love him in the same way anymore.

ZAY

I don't know what will happen if he doesn't forgive me.

RILEY

Let's focus on us and forget about everyone else for a bit.

ZAY

Okay.

They kiss,as Maya and Lucas enter.

MAYA (to LUCAS)

Are you ready?

LUCAS

As much as you.

MAYA

Guys...we have to tell you something.

Zay and Riley gather around,as Lucas gets closer to Farkle when he notices him drinking.

LUCAS

Farkle...

FARKLE

I am fine.

MAYA

We just got engaged!

RILEY

What?

Riley hugs Maya,being as much happy as Maya.

ZAY (to LUCAS)

Wow,dude...congratulations.

LUCAS

Thanks.

Farkle is there too,as Zay walks towards Maya and Riley.

FARKLE

Congratulations,Lucas.

LUCAS

You are not fine,are you?

FARKLE

I am happy for you.

LUCAS

I am sorry for everything.

FARKLE

No one died,okay?Why are you being sorry?

LUCAS

I know that you really love her.

FARKLE

No,you don't know that.You know your feelings and that you love Maya.I don't think anyone knows the feelings of other as much as they themself.

LUCAS

If I knew she loves you that way,I'd do anything to get you two together.

FARKLE

Why?Why would you do that?

LUCAS

Because you are my friend.

FARKLE

Can you do me a favor,then?

LUCAS

Sure...anything.

FARKLE

Stay away from me...as much as everyone else.

LUCAS

Farkle...

FARKLE

I am happy for you two and I am fine on my own.

Farkle sits on the same sit and keeps drinking as the gang keeps looking at him,worried,but happy for engage.

INT.MATTHEWS APARTMANT – LIVING ROOM – NIGHT

Katy and Topanga are sitting on the sofa.

KATY

I can't believe my little girl is getting married.

TOPANGA

Me neither.

KATY

I knew this day was gonna come.

TOPANGA

She's gonna be really happy.

KATY

Yes,I know.

TOPANGA

I wish something similar could happen to Riley.

KATY

Well...she's in a happy relationship too.

TOPANGA

No.The last relationship she had was with Farkle.

KATY

Isn't she with Zay?

TOPANGA

I don't think so.

KATY

Nevermind.Maya told me something.Maybe I just misinterpreted it.

TOPANGA

It can't be.I'd know it.

KATY

Okay.

TOPANGA

I mean...it's strange.

KATY

What?

TOPANGA

If she really is dating him...I don't think she really loves him.

KATY

Don't think like that.

TOPANGA

Why not?

KATY

She's an adult and she knows her real feelings.

TOPANGA

She didn't know her real feelings when she was in high school.I don't think she knows it now.

KATY

I think she does.

TOPANGA

I'll have to talk to her.

INT.TOPANGA'S – NIGHT

Farkle is still sitting at the bar,drinking beer.Shawn enters.He notices him.

SHAWN

Farkle?

Farkle turns around as he sees him,but keeps drinking the beer.

SHAWN

What are you doing here...in this state?

Shawn sits beside him.

FARKLE

Well...I'm celebrating,aren't I?

SHAWN

I heard Maya and Lucas are getting married,but...are you getting married too?

FARKLE

Nope.I am getting a heartbreak.

SHAWN

Stop drinking.

FARKLE

I can't stop now.

SHAWN

You need to stop.

FARKLE

I am not stopping!

SHAWN

They will kick you out if you keep drinking.

FARKLE

Then...I'll go to some other place to drink.

SHAWN

How long will you keep doing this?

FARKLE

Until I don't feel anything anymore.

SHAWN

Can I give you advice?

FARKLE

Is it to stop drinking?Because I already know it.

SHAWN

I was like you once.

FARKLE

Oh...one of your best friends betrayed you and the girl you love choose him over you?

SHAWN

Um...not exactly.

FARKLE

Then...you weren't like me.

SHAWN

I was.My dad died.My mother left us.

FARKLE

Same for me.

SHAWN

But I had my friends.

FARKLE

That's great,because I'm not having them anymore.

SHAWN

That's a wrong choice.

FARKLE

It's not a choice.It's what happens next.

SHAWN

What happens?You become beer addict and end up in some hospital until the day you die.And then...everything that happened until this point doesn't matter anymore because you throw your life away...as much as your friends.

FARKLE

You don't know a thing,Shawn.

SHAWN

I do.Trust me.

FARKLE

It's nice to get drunk sometimes and to stop thinking for awhile.

SHAWN

This seems as sometimes,but it will become everyday routine and you know what will happen then.

FARKLE

I don't know.Why don't you tell me?

SHAWN

My father died...he wasn't there much and he died.I missed him and he wasn't around anymore.My mother was never there and I have half brother.

FARKLE

Why isn't he here?

SHAWN

He was by my side since the day I met him.It's enough from him.

FARKLE

It's boring story.

SHAWN

Angela was there too.I really loved her.But she wasn't ready.I think I wasn't ready either.It's a good thing that it happened.

FARKLE

Why?

SHAWN

Because it made me ready for Katy.What we had made me ready for something.And that something...I'm gonna have for a long time.

FARKLE

Well...I am ready to take another beer.

SHAWN

It's a wrong choice.

FARKLE

I don't care anymore.

And he drinks another one beer.

SHAWN

Can I help you?

FARKLE

I want to be alone.

SHAWN

I am not helping you like that.That'd be a suicide.

FARKLE

Good.

SHAWN

Leave that beer.

FARKLE

If you don't like me this way...go.

SHAWN

Okay.

Shawn keeps looking at him,worried.

END ACT ONE

ACT TWO

FADE IN:

INT.MATTHEWS APARTMANT – LIVING ROOM – NIGHT

Katy and Topanga are sitting at the sofa.

TOPANGA

Farkle would make a good son in law.

KATY

Doesn't Cory hate him?

TOPANGA

He doesn't hate him.He didn't like him while he was dating Riley back in high school.

KATY

Huh.Real high school drama.

TOPANGA

And now...she's dating Zay again.

KATY

He seems nice.

TOPANGA

He does.

KATY

You'd like him as son in law?

TOPANGA

Of course.

KATY

What's the problem,then?

TOPANGA

I don't think she loves him,Katy.

KATY

Maybe...you just don't know how she feels about him.

TOPANGA

I do.I had always known her feelings.

KATY

Feelings change.

TOPANGA

Yeah...I hate it when feelings change.

KATY

Who knows?Maybe they keep on dating for years and end up getting married like Maya and Lucas.

TOPANGA

Yep.You are really lucky,Katy.

KATY

It's not luck.She found someone to love until the rest of her life.I can't be more happier.

TOPANGA

I know.

INT.TOPANGA'S – NIGHT

Farkle and Shawn are still sitting at the bar.

SHAWN

If you talk to them,will it make you feel better?

FARKLE

It will make me feel worse.

SHAWN

You won't be able to continue like this,you know?

FARKLE

What do you know,anyway?

SHAWN

I know too much to give you my own advice.

FARKLE

No,thanks.

SHAWN

You are gonna end up destroying yourself.Is that what you really want?

Farkle looks at him,silent for a bit.

FARKLE

I want to not feeling anything anymore.

SHAWN

That's not possible.

FARKLE

And that's why I don't need your advice.

SHAWN

Angela and I...we went through so much things.

FARKLE

Would anything change if she shows up here right now?

SHAWN

Not a thing.

FARKLE

There are no unfinished stories or sparks anymore?

SHAWN

Nope.

FARKLE

Huh.

SHAWN

This is a long way,Farkle.You can't make yourself forget about someone and your feelings towards that person.

FARKLE

You don't think I tried?

SHAWN

I believe you did.

FARKLE

It's impossible and it's making me hate it even more.

SHAWN

I am here for you.

FARKLE

I am sorry.

SHAWN

Why?

FARKLE

I did nothing more than saying bad things to you when the only thing you tried to do is to help me.

SHAWN

I am okay with it.

FARKLE

I need some time to forget it and to get back to my old self.

SHAWN

I know.

FARKLE

How long does it take?

SHAWN

You don't wanna know it.

FARKLE

Too long?

SHAWN

If you decide to move on and remain friend with everyone...you will be done in a minute.

FARKLE

Impossible.

SHAWN

Not impossible.

FARKLE

I am stubborn.

SHAWN

I noticed it.

FARKLE

Thanks for your advice,Shawn.

SHAWN

Okay.

INT.MATTHEWS APARTMENT – LIVING ROOM – DAY

Riley and Topanga are standing.

RILEY

You can't be serious.

TOPANGA

Well,I am.

RILEY

I know that you think I don't love Zay in that way,but you're wrong.

TOPANGA

What if I'm not?

RILEY

What?

TOPANGA

What if this is just something you and Farkle need to go through so you can be together at the end?

RILEY

Farkle and I are never gonna be together.

TOPANGA

Why?

RILEY

I opened my eyes and I can't love him just to make everyone feel better.

TOPANGA

You don't love him anymore?

RILEY

No,I don't.

TOPANGA

Okay.

RILEY

And I know you don't think I love Zay.

TOPANGA

Well...now I know that you have feelings for Zay.You have strong feelings.I think you never had those for Farkle.

Riley smiles as they hug.

RILEY

I was scared of hurting you.And now...I'm not scared anymore.
