S2 E20 - Girl Meets Texas Part 1

I'm lucky I'm still alive, seriously, my mom was by beyond mad, she was furious, I've never seen her like this and it crushed my heart, thankfully she calmed down a little and grounded me, I can't go out without her knowing who and where I'm going and video calls me every five minutes. I've never gotten this much attention from her and it actually bothers me that she's giving it to me because of the flask thing. About Elliot, we still haven't talked yet, I've been avoiding him. I know that he wants to do the right thing and talk to me saying that he's gonna take responsibilities for his actions because he's a Matthews but I won't let him, it's already too late now.
Oh, you won't guess what Riley and I did. Since now I have a lot of free time we entered Lucas to 'The Annual Mutton Busting Tournament'. Zay told us a story on how he fell off Judy the sheep and I wanted to help him rebuild his reputation. Guess I'm a pretty good friend after all.
"We have changed the life of somebody in this room!" Riley says as she walks in the classroom
"Oh please not me" Zay replies
"I'm happy with my life the way it is. I got tall and my teeth came in nicely" No Farkle, not everything is about you
"Yeah, we're not talking about you two"
"Oh no. What'd you do?" Right answer Huckleberry
"Oh Lucas, in your whole history, we know what has always been your biggest regret" I smirk as I try to imitate the sound of a sheep
"baaaah..."
"What's that, why would you do that?" I smile and repeat it
"Baaah! You used to be a champion sheep rider at the mutton bustin' rodeo, until you fell off of Judy the sheep"
"And then you gave up, but you never got over it"
"That is my deepest, darkest secret! No one knows I fell off Judy the sheep except..." he realizes Zay told us
"They, they made me Lucas, they, they made me!"
"How did they make you?"
"I said, 'Y'all wanna hear a great Lucas story?' They said yes!"
"Okay it doesn't matter, I'm over it. I don't think about that day at all... I fell off that sheep so fast. No one likes me!"
"Lucas, you can fix this! Get back on that sheep and be a sheep champion!"
"We have made that possible"
"How? How'd you make that possible?"
"Show it to him" I pull out the letter
"We have entered you in..." Riley completes my sentence
"The Annual Mutton Busting Tournament!"
"In Austin, Texas!"
"In front of everybody you know!"
"Yay!" we shout in unison but the cowboy still looks upset
"You can't enter me in Mutton Busters, you can't be over 8 years old or over 55 pounds"
"You are wrong, young Lucas. We entered you last week and your application's been accepted" Wait, did I call him Lucas? Nah, I didn't. Riley reads the paper our loud
"Congratulations, Lucas Friar. You are an official entry in this year's Austin Roundup Rodeo! You will be riding Tombstone the sheep"
"What? Tombstone? Oh, woah, that's the end of you" Why is Zay saying that? It's a sheep
"Why is it the end of him?" I ask
"What's the difference between riding Judy the sheep and Tombstone the sheep?"
"Read it again" Maybe Riley read it wrong so I decide to read it out loud now
"Blah blah blah, over the age and weight limit for Mutton Busters, blah, you will be placed in the adult rodeo where you will, blah, ride Tombstone the sheep"
"Ooh! You only got one word wrong!"
"Let's see if they find that one word!" I roll my eyes and reread it
"Blah blah blah blabady blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blady blah... Oh! Bull!"
"Ah, she found it"
"You signed me up to ride Tombstone the bull!" Even better!
"Are you excited?"
"What's the difference between riding a sheep and riding a bull?"
"Death! Death is the difference!" What? It can't be that dangerous, right?
Mr. Matthews enters the class
"Alright. May we begin class?" everyone sits on their places
"The Railroad" What?
"I don't get it" Yeah, me neither Farkle
"What do you mean you don't get it, Farkle?"
"How does this relate to what's going on in our lives, Hambone?"
"You're just gonna let him call you 'Hambone', Matthews?"
"The railroad allowed us to travel great distances. The railroad allowed us to see how other people live. When you see how other people live, it changes you. And I like 'Hambone.' It's cool" You know what? Mr. Matthews has actually been pretty chill about the alcohol situation. He's treating me as if nothing happened, actually, he examines the people I hang out with.
"Riley, rip it up before he finds out!"
"Who?"
"He's gonna find out and when he does, nothing will stop him!"
"Who?" I ask
"Oh you'll know who. You'll hear a big boomin' voice. He'll say somethin'. He'll say somethin' like..." just then a man opens the door
"This country was built on railroads. I, myself just arrived on the noon train from Austin, Texarcanada and Arkadelphia. Guess why I'm here?" He must be one of Lucas' relatives! He has the same Texan accent! I smile widely
"Anybody?"
"Haha! I'm here 'cause I could not be more proud of my grandboy Lucas"
"Pappy Joe. That's your Pappy Joe! That's Pappy Joe! Yes, more stuff!"
"That right there's the first Friar that ever had the courage to ride the most ferocious creature in all of Creation"
"Are we talking about Judy the sheep, Pappy Joe?"
"Haha! Judy the sheep! Remember when you fell off Judy the sheep for about two seconds, boy? Remember that? And we all said it was okay 'cause you were only five years old? So we said it was okay, but it wasn't okay because you were a disgrace to the community and you dragged your family name through the mud-hole right up to this day. You put us in the mud-hole, remember boy?!" Lucas looks down
"Yes. There is one moment in every man's life that shapes who he is forever. My moment was Judy the sheep"
"Well you know what, Lucas Friar? Forgiven! You get on that bull for more than three seconds, and you will be the master of Tombstone the bull. And I'll tell you I love you. And that's something I never said to another human"
"Can we talk about this?"
"Time for talkin's over. I got a permission slip. Babineaux, I got one for you too. Come on boys! Let's go ride"
"Yeehaaw!... That slipped out" Honestly, I love their Texas' side, it makes them more interesting
"You did this!"
