It's a ice cold day in New York City.
The coldness came early for them.
Riley Matthews is too excited about her best friend coming home to worry about the cold.
"Maya is coming home!"
From early the morning that was all on Riley's mind.
She was excited to see Maya after three years.
She left with her mom and her adoptive father to go to Paris for a few years and Shawn decided it's time to come home.
20 °F were the weather.
If you were to put it over in degrees it would be - 7.
Pretty cold, yeah?
Riley have been driving everyone crazy about Maya being back in NYC.
Her nine year old brother has also said she has to stop.
"Riley would you calm down honey? Everything is perfect," Topanga said and Riley looked at her mother.
She was convinced that she had to do more but there wasn't any time.
"Hey girls. You coming? We have to go pick up the Hunters," Cory said.
It's a little before seven and that is when Maya's plane lands.
"Come Auggie," Riley said and they went to the airport.

Maya's pov

The plane landed and I were as happy as could be.
The average temperature in New York were much colder than in Paris.
There it was about 37 °F and in New York it was probably around 20°F.
And 20 meant much colder than usual.
The moment we climbed out of the airplane I took a deep breath.

"Good to be home?" Shawn asked and Maya smiled.
"Yeah it is," Maya said and they went inside.
They looked for their suitcases and looked for the Matthews.
Immediately they found them and greeted each other.
"Maya!" Riley said and embraced her best friend.
"How are you? How was Paris? Any new..."
Of course Riley's questions were too much.
"Whoa Riles. One question at a time please," Maya said laughing.
"We're glad your back," Topanga said and hugged Maya.
"Me too. Hello Mr Matthews," Maya greeted her old History teacher.
"Wow you have grown beautiful. I almost didn't regonize you," Cory said.
Maya sees Auggie and goes to him.
"Hey buddy. How are you?" Maya asks and gives the little boy a hug.
"I'm good. Uncle Josh is here," Auggie said.

I'm pretty sure my heart dropped three levels when I heard that name.
Joshua Matthews.
My first and possibly only love interest.
I haven't felt anything for any guys in Paris and I guess I never will.
Josh has been a part of my life for so many years that I don't know what is next.

"Buddy why don't we discuss your uncle later. Let's get you home," Cory said.
We got all the suitcases in the car and drove off.
Topanga went with her car and Cory with his.
The guys went in the one and the girls in the other.
Which was a good thing.
"How do you feel about Josh Maya?" Riley asked and I didn't know what to say.
"You can talk about that later girls. Why don't we just get you settled in?"
Luckily Topanga comes to rescue but what does Maya feel for Josh?
Even she is wondering about that one and it's not usually something she does.
