"Nature" Mr. Matthews hits the board with a stick
"Makes us sneeze, puts us in the infirmary. Nature" he hits it again.
"What's he got against nature?"
"Isn't he running the Nature Club?" Riley smiles
"He's only running the Nature Club because it was either that or the Ski Club"
"So why didn't he choose the Ski Club?"
"He can't run the Ski Club because of what happened and the Mount Sun Lodge when they were our age" Mr. Matthews repeats his action
"Nature. The only place a bear can kill ya from. Nature"
"Well, what happened at the ski lodge?" Zay asks
"A mountain girl kissed him" Mr. Matthews replies, clearly irritated
"I didn't kiss her back"
"Nature!" I say, trying to imitate him while slamming my hands on the desk
"How 'bout I throw you back in the street where ya came from, you waif?" Woah, very offensive, especially from him. I know he didn't mean those words but they still hurt
"Those were very bad times for Cory and Topanga, but everything's fine now, except we can't ski ever or say 'ski' or walk downhill"
"So why is he all upset with nature?"
"Guess where the hike is" Smakle raises her hand
"The Mount Sun Lodge"
"Nature!" This time the stick breaks
"What are you doing, Dad?"
"The ski lodge was almost the end of Cory and Topanga, America's sweethearts. And now, I know something's gonna happen there for you. So, I am preparing ya... for nature!" he throws the remaining part of his stick away
"We're just going up to see the leaves change color"
"Nature puts on a great show when it wants to"
"Indeed, Zay"
"The leaves seem to scream out... 'Hey, look at me!' 'You think I'm pretty!'
"But I'm actually dead"
"The preceding was brought to you by the Smarkle Corporation"
"Explaining big concepts with little words for you" Well, thank you for explaining to me how nature works: you live, you die
"All right, before we get on the bus, I want to talk to you guys about the other kind of nature. The human kind" please tell me he won't give us 'the talk'
"Here it comes"
"Ohh, I've been on these kind of trips before. We made our plans, we had our blueprints. Well, you know what's gonna happen to all your little teenage plans? Nothin'!"
"Why not?!"
"Because I am gonna be your chaperone, and I will be doggin' you every step like a dog" I raise my eyebrows
"What makes you think we're like that, Matthews?" he points at Yobi
"Get a load of Yogi and Darby over here"
"Uh, they go by Yoby now"
"Yeah. Didn't you see their ad in the school newspaper?" they show him the article
"Well..." he chuckles
"It's not Yoby I'm worried about anyway. Yoby's forever. It's this three-headed, creeping triangle that won't die that concerns me" I sigh
"Why do you have to..." I continue
"Bring that up..." Lucas finishes
"For?"
"Because the triangle is going to the great outdoors. So, we are gonna need some great chaperons" I look up at him
"We got this completely under control, Matthews. My human nature is completely under control and there's nothin' or nobody who could ever change that" After I finish my sentence Elliot, Josh and Ms. Matthews come in
"Hey, kiddies" the two boys say in unison, making me giggle nervously
"I'm wrong" Riley sighs, she already knows what's going on
"Here we go" I chuckle, okay Maya, play it cool
"You're my chaperone"
"I invited them" Ms. Matthews say enthusiastically and I smile at her
"I love you!"
"I'm coming too"
"I invited her. I'm smart. We'll be watching over you"
"As you may know, my name is Elliot and I'm the captain of the school's football team
"And my name's Josh, we'll be with you all day and all night" Elliot points at all of us
"So no monkey business" I softly laugh before starting to imitate a monkey, yeah, I can't help it.
*During the buss ride*
"We're here, Maya! Look!" Riley points outside her window and I smile when I look at the cottage. This is gonna be awesome!
"Yeah" I stand up get our bags
"Can you believe it, Maya? A ski lodge!" I chuckle as we start going off the bus
"Be careful to the stair, Riley" her brother warns her
"Thank you, I didn't notice it"
"You're welcome" he walks past us with his bag, which crashes against me, making me fall off the bus.
Ouch! That hurt!
"Oh my gosh Maya, are you okay?" I nod even though my ankle hurts like hell
"Yeah Huckleberry, I'm fine"
"Let me help you" Lucas and Elliot say in unison and glare at each other
"Don't you think you've done enough?"
"I wanna help"
"Guys, I'm fine, look..." I stand up but immediately regret it. My left ankle hurts too much. I can't handle the weight so I stumble and trip over myself. Luckily they catch me on time
"I've got you" I smile
"Thanks"
"Let's get you inside and figure out what happened" they help me walk inside the cottage. Great, now I won't be able to do anything I planned to. I notice a bay window on the and smile instantly
"Bay window! Bay window right now" I nod at Riley's request
"Can you guys get me over there?" they nod and help me sit down
"Thank you"
"No problem. Now I have to find someone to help you. See ya" I wave at Elliot while Lucas sits next me
"Hey, did anyone else feel like Mr. Matthews' nature lecture was completely pointed at us?"
"Isn't everything?"
"Hey, we put the brakes on the whole triangle thing so that Maya could find herself"
"Yes. I needed to find myself, you Cactus Pete Huckleberry horseback-ridin' Ranger Rick. Huh hugghhrr, huh hugghhrr, huh hugghhrr-hugghhrr!" he nods
"And she's back"
"And we're back on"
"Yeah, except for one other thing" he looks at our chaperones. Oh no, I already know there's no way I'm gonna end up with one of them, it's impossible. I grab him his hoodie
"Hey, Boing has nothing to do with this, okay? He's just a fantasy. You don't go out with a fantasy. You only think about him all the time. What's the matter with you? And Mr. Football and I decided to be just friends. Got it?"
"Yeah, I'm real messed up" I sigh and let go of him.
"Okay, while Elliot, Cory and Topanga are checking us in, let me welcome you all to Mount Sun Lodge, where we are here to turn our thoughts away from our indoor relationships and towards our relationships with the outdoors" has Josh realized that the room is filled by couples?
"Yeah, I don't think so, Cub Scout" Topanga sighs when she reads the signboard
"You brought them here on Couples Weekend?!"
"Of course I did" Zay starts reading it out loud
"Nature Sez: Tree's A crowd"
"Huh"
"Moonlight Walk: Triangle Trail" I nod
"Huh"
"Riley, Maya, Lucas: Enough Already!" Farkle laughs at himself
"Huh"
