"Out here in space I kiss your green face but it feels like you're light years away. La, la, la, la, la" Riley, Elliot and I sing along to the theme song that is currently on Riley's laptop. See, we're re-watching all the episodes to the Red Planet Diaries for tonight's finale
"You have completed episode 66 of Red Planet Diaries. Episode 67 starts right now" Ms. Matthews comes in the room
"Are you kidding me?!"
"It's Friday night. We can do whatever we want on Friday nights"
"We can stay up as late as we want on a Friday, mom" I continue singing alone
"It's Monday morning!"
"Can you get us a snack?"
"You have spent three days in the bay window without moving! Go to school!" I whine
"But we're on episode 67"
"We still have four episodes to go"
"We must rewatch all of them before tonight's finale"
"Why must you?"
"Ma!"
"That's not an answer"
"Ma!" Elliot replies after his sister
"Not even close"
"Ma!" she frowns
"I'm not your ma"
"Not my ma!"
"We love Red Planet Diaries! What do you love?"
"I love working hard to achieve positive changes in the human condition" I smile and reply to her
"And we're exactly the same!"
"Now leave us alone, we got four more episodes" Ms. Matthews starts pushing us out of the window
"Out! Go to school!"
"Enjoy your little victory, mother"
"Yeah!"
"But we can still watch the last four episodes after school before tonight's finale"
"Yeah!"
"Maya, you better stop before this gets out of hand" I hear Elliot whisper in my ear
"Relax, nothing could go wrong"
"No, you can't. I told you I need your help at the bakery after school"
"Okay, mom. I'll be there" Elliot answers quickly
"Well, I'm sorry, but we are unavailable"
"Well, that would be a problem if I were asking you, but I'm not asking you, I'm telling you... that you will be at the bakery immediately after school, end of conversation"
"No!" Did Riley really say no to her mom?! Topanga Matthews?! We all gasp
"Told ya"

*At school*

"Lemme explain our relationship as I understand it. You and I do anything for each other that we ask each other to do"
"You, Elliot and I are going up against Topanga" he shakes his head
"Not doing that, bye!" he leaves us
"Lemme explain our new relationship... see ya!" I turn around to walk away but she stops me
"Maya! This isn't about Red Planet Diaries or the bakery" I sigh
"Riley, do what your mother wants"
"This is about reaching the age where we determine what's important. I am not afraid of my own mother. Why does she have this effect on people?" I whimper and we walk in classe where we find a very terrified Mr. Matthews
"Very bad, very bad, very bad, very bad, very... You! What did you do?"
"She called you?"
"She didn't have to! I sensed it as soon as the sky turned black! And you! How did you let this happen? You're supposed to be her best friend!" I laugh nervously
"People think we're friends? Ha! People! Where do I sit?" I push Sarah away from her seat
"I sit here now"
"Fine. I'm the Maya now. The way it always shoulda been" Well, that was creepy
"Riley, apologize to your mother and do whatever she asks"
"Yeah. The finale's probably not even gonna be any good"
"You guys aren't even watching it?"
"Are you crazy?"
"Red Planet sleepover at my house!"
"I'm bringin' s'mores!" I smle at my adorable boyfriend, I'd squeeze his hand if I could but I'm too far from him right now
"Riley, let it go. You can't win this"
"What is the matter with everybody? This is normal, healthy teenage rebellion. This is supposed to happen. I'm right on schedule. How could this go wrong?" Farkle sighs
"Educate her, Hambone" Mr. Matthews points a t the board
"Chapter One: Crushing defeats. Godzilla... versus Japan. Japan loses, Riley. Really loses"
"Tell her how bad they lose"
"They lose so bad their voices come out of their mouths three seconds later"
"How does that compare to what's going on here?"
"Because what's going on here is Godzilla versus Riley. You're Riley"
"I'm a teenager. I'm in high school, I have rights, and it's time that I said so" he chuckles and puts a walnut on his desk
"I'm Riley. I'm a walnut. I'm in high school. I have rights, and it's time that I said so. And now there's this" he pulls out of the drawer and hammer and smashes it
"Mommy is not a hammer"
"I know what I married"
"So you just happened to have a hammer in your desk" Great question, Zay
"Oh, yeah. That's a new thing that's gonna happen now. Whatever I need is gonna be right here in this desk"
"This isn't just Godzilla versus Riley. This is Godzilla versus Riley and her faithful sidekick Maya. Ring power!" Sarah shakes her head
"I don't do that"
