Riley and Maya are sitting at the Bay Window.
MAYA
So...he's coming back soon?
RILEY
Apparently.
MAYA
Are you okay?
RILEY
I'm not sure what i feel anymore.
MAYA
I thought going to London would help you figure out.You even broke up with Zay.
RILEY
Well,i'll figure it out when he comes.I'll see him and i'll understand what I feel.
MAYA
Good.
RILEY
So...why did he left?
MAYA
He told you?
RILEY
He told me you knew.
MAYA
Oh,boy.
RILEY
What?
MAYA
It's better for you to hear it from him than from me.
RILEY
He didn't wanna told me,so...you tell me.
MAYA
Okay.But...don't be mad on me.
RILEY
Why would I be?
MAYA
It was...because of your relationship with Zay.
RILEY
But...it can't be.He was happy when we got together.
MAYA
That's what everyone think.He stepped back,Riley.
RILEY
He left for London because of that?It's mad.
MAYA
He really loves you,Riley.He wanted you to be happy,he didn't want anyone to suffer.
RILEY
I can't believe it.And I can't believe you hide that from me.
MAYA
I promised not to tell anyone.He's my friend.
RILEY
I'm your friend too.Your best friend.
MAYA
I thought you were happy with Zay.So,i kept this secret for Farkle.
RILEY
I don't really know who's more crazy of you two.Him,for doing it or you for keeping it as secret.
MAYA
But...he's coming back,right?Everything will get better.
RILEY
He lied in my face.You too.
MAYA
Come on,Riley.It was...a good lie.
RILEY
I wish he told me truth and never left.
MAYA
You stepped back once too,right?
RILEY
That's different.
MAYA
How come?
RILEY
I never stepped back for someone I truly loved.I stepped back so you could be happy,I never stepped back for Lucas.
MAYA
Okay,we maybe should stop doing this step back thing.It has big consequences.
RILEY
Tell that to your dear friend.
MAYA
Riley.

INT.JOHN ADAMS HIGH SCHOOL - HALLWAY - DAY
Maya and Riley enter the school,as they notice Lucas and Farkle standing.
LUCAS (to FARKLE)
I'm so glad you are back,man.
FARKLE
I guess this school missed me,right?
Maya and Riley come.
MAYA (to FARKLE)
Is this what I think it is?
FARKLE
Hey.
Maya and Farkle hug.
MAYA
I didn't think you would come today.
FARKLE
Well...it's a surprise.
RILEY
Yeah.It's a big surprise.
FARKLE
Hi,Riley.
MAYA (to LUCAS)
Lucas...let's go.
LUCAS
Where?
MAYA
Just...let's go.
They walk away,leaving Farkle and Riley alone.
FARKLE
I don't deserve a hug?
They hug.
FARKLE (CONT.)
I'm so happy to be around all of you again.I missed this.
RILEY
What made you return?
FARKLE
I was thinking a lot.This is my home,Riley.This is where I belong.This where our gang belongs and it will always be our place.
RILEY
You stepped back.
FARKLE
Oh,god.
RILEY
How could you?
FARKLE
Riley...it was my decision,okay?
RILEY
You almost ruined all your life because of me.You left this country,which is not that small.That was a pretty big step.
FARKLE
I couldn't watch you two anymore.I pushed him and i didn't wanna him to suffer because of my feelings.
RILEY
You did a wrong thing.
FARKLE
And you shouldn't have broken up with him.
RILEY
It wasn't just me.We both did it.
FARKLE
Were you happy with him?
Riley,silent,doesn't know what to say.
RILEY
I don't know.
FARKLE
You don't know?
RILEY
I was never as much happy as I was when we were together.
FARKLE
Yes,we were happy.
RILEY
Why can't we be happy again?
FARKLE
Because...I'll suffer again.Than...i might be gone again and than...we could never be able to be friends again.
RILEY
I hurt you so much?
FARKLE
I couldn't be any more hurt than you hurt me already.
RILEY
Wow.Is this mean I'm a bad person?
FARKLE
It means you are the greatest person alive and I'm happy to have you around.
Riley smiles.
FARKLE (CONT.)
I'm happy that we are able to be that kind of friends again.
RILEY
We are friends?
FARKLE
Of course.
RILEY
What If that's not what I think we are?
Farkle,keeps silent.

LUCAS
Okay,buddy.I'm here to make you feel better.
ZAY

LUCAS
Why?
ZAY

LUCAS
And...now you'll be even more happy because you are single again.
ZAY
That sucks.And you know it.
LUCAS
Wrong.You are at the single market again,you can choose whatever chick you want...you might have fun.Isn't that awesome?
ZAY
Why aren't you single than?
LUCAS
I found my path.
ZAY
Thanks a lot.
LUCAS
Okay.We are going to have fun today.Let's make you forget about Riley Matthews.
ZAY
It's impossible.
LUCAS
You did not say impossible.Nothing is impossible!
Maya enters,she walks towards them.
MAYA
Hi,guys.(to LUCAS) You called me?
LUCAS
Yes.Our friend needs us.
MAYA
You said it was emergency.
LUCAS
And what's more important than helping a friend who's dealing with a hard break up?
MAYA
Sure.
ZAY
Guys...i'm fine,okay?
LUCAS
No,you are not.Farkle's back and you need to face all of this.
MAYA
Well...we are gonna help you,Zay.I don't have nothing better to do,anyway.
LUCAS
That's right.
MAYA (to LUCAS)
And you own me one.

INT.MATTHEWS APARTMANT - RILEY'S ROOM - DAY
Riley and Farkle are sitting at the Bay Window.Not looking at each other,feeling weird,a bit.
FARKLE
We should talk.
RILEY
Yes.
FARKLE
Okay...sitting here feels as...
RILEY
As you are my best friend?
FARKLE
Yes,exactly.
RILEY
We have another chance.Why don't we use it?
Farkle,looks at her,deeply.
FARKLE
Are we even ready for another try of this relationship?
RILEY
I don't know what ready means anymore.
FARKLE
It was good feeling...to accept the fact that we are over and that we are never gonna be together again.And now...I'm back and I can't fight my feelings.
RILEY
And I can't fight them either...anymore.
FARKLE
I don't think this is good thing to do.
RILEY
Why not?
FARKLE
We might break up again.And than...our friendship would be one big messed up thing.
RILEY
Nothing's gonna ruin our friendship.
FARKLE
This ruined.
RILEY
I want us...to be together again.
Farkle,stands up.
FARKLE
We're not even sure ourselves.
Riley stands too.
RILEY
No,Farkle.I'm sure.I love you.I've always loved you.
FARKLE
As a friend?
Riley,silent,feeling confused a bit.
FARKLE (CONT.)
You see?You can't even decide and tell me which way you love me.
RILEY
I was confused lately.
FARKLE
And you are confused now.
RILEY
I'm not.
FARKLE
Back in London...you said that now you know how you love me.What was that?
RILEY
I was hiding my feelings,okay?
FARKLE
What?
RILEY
It was before Zay and I broke up.I wanted to be your friend,i wanted it desperetely.So much...that I even tried to convice myself that I love you as friend.
FARKLE
I don't know what's gonna happen.
RILEY
What do you want to happen?
FARKLE
Whatever happens...let's not stop talking with each other.
RILEY
Okay.
They both look a bit confused,thinking.
INT.TOPANGA'S - DAY
Zay is still sitting on sofa.Lucas and Maya are standing,near the bar.
MAYA
This was a bad decision,Lucas.
LUCAS
Come on.It can't be that bad.
Lucas looks at Zay.
LUCAS (CONT.)
Okay,it is bad.
MAYA
He needs to get over this break up by himself.We can't hurry him or make him forget her in a minute.
LUCAS
I don't get girls.They were happy and than,weeks later they just broke up.Who does that things?
MAYA
Teens.
LUCAS
Okay.We are happy now,we will always be happy.And we are not gonna break up.How can our relationship be so different from theirs?
MAYA
You are kidding,right?Not all the relationships are the same.
LUCAS
I dated Riley.It looks like she was always searching for Farkle in her boyfriends.
MAYA
Why to mention that?
LUCAS
I want Zay back.
MAYA
Give him a time.
LUCAS
Maya,if we don't bring him back...Riley's and Farkle's possible relationship will make things even worse.
MAYA
Fine.But...i don't know what to do.
LUCAS
Come her.
They walk towards Zay,who's having phone in his hand.
LUCAS (to ZAY)
Buddy...
ZAY
Look at this photo.
Lucas takes phone,looking at phont of Riley and Zay while they were dating.
LUCAS
Good.
ZAY
It's...when we were together.She's so pretty.
LUCAS
Now.Listen to me.Put that phone down and forget about that crazy brunette.
MAYA
Lucas!
LUCAS
What?She's crazy for not realizing what kind of boyfriend she had.
ZAY
I'm not mad at her.
LUCAS
Well...you should be.
MAYA (to LUCAS)
What are you doing?
LUCAS
Something we should've done long time ago.
MAYA
Oh,boy.

She comes closer to him.
FARKLE

FARKLE
We are gonna risk it all...including our friendship?

RILEY (CONT.)
And what if it breaks our friendship...forever?
FARKLE (smiles)
Don't risk anything you are you're not willing to lose.
RILEY
Okay.
Both of them smile.We notice music in the background:
Heartbeats by The Knife.

The begin breathing hard,kissing,than they split.

The music ends.
INT.TOPANGA'S - NIGHT

Okay,we have been here all day.I'm exhausted.
ZAY
You are just waisting your precious time with me.
LUCAS
No,we are not.
MAYA
Knock it off,Lucas.Please.You heard him.
LUCAS
Riley is...a bad person.
MAYA
What?
LUCAS
Come on...she left Zay as they were never serious.
ZAY
Nobody left nobody.We both broke up.
LUCAS
Come on.Did you have a choice?
ZAY
Hm.
LUCAS
She cheated on me,you know.So...she's not that sweet angel.
MAYA
Where are you going with this,Lucas?

LUCAS
Right,Charlie.
MAYA
And she speaks damn French very well.
LUCAS
That's not a bad thing.
MAYA
I hate French.
ZAY
Me too.
LUCAS (to ZAY)
She's so confused person.And she should've never been with you,if she had her own doubts.
ZAY
Wow.I'm feeling much better now,guys.
LUCAS (to MAYA)
You see?
MAYA
I stepped back.She stepped back.Farkle stepped back.Damn.She made us all follow that tradition.
LUCAS
And she brotherzoned me.I mean...it's weird being someone's brother alike if you love them as friends.
ZAY
Guys,i'm fine now.Thanks for spending your time with me.
He walks out of Topanga's,Maya and Lucas keep talking.
MAYA
She tried to be more like me.
LUCAS
I feel for that concept.

LUCAS
What are we doing?
MAYA

We were mean.
LUCAS
I think Riley would understand us.
MAYA
She would.At least...Zay's fine now.
They share a look,smilling.
MAYA (CONT.)
She's my greatest friend.
LUCAS
And...one of best friends around.
MAYA
