AU where Chase Matthews from Zoey 101 is the older brother of Riley Matthews from Girl Meets World
Okay, Chase Matthews obviously looks like he could be related to Cory, he shares the Matthews name, and he has the same clumsiness Riley posses. It matches so perfectly, and would be really cool to see them all be related and interact!
Here is a possible explanation on how everything would work:
Okay, Topanga is obviously a wonderful lawyer, and many firms would love to have her as their clientele
One of these firms offers her a deal where her children could get free education at a private school in PCA, somewhere his children go and the firm pays for
Topanga is hesitant, but after talking it out with Cory she realizes this could be a big deal for her children and give them an excellent education that could help them in life
She has to ask her children first, of course, and consider a few things: Riley is obviously, excited at the prospect, but she can’t go because 1) she isn’t old enough, 2) she’s a girl, and 3) She doesn’t want to leave her new friend Maya behind. Auggie is a toddler, so that leaves only one kid left: Chase
Chase really wants to try going there, because who wouldn’t want to go to a place that seems that awesome!? He doesn’t have any close friends in NY to hold him down, and he could be away from his whiny baby siblings for a part of the year: In his eleven year old brain, that right there is a win-win situation!
So, after much contemplation, Topanga joins the firm, as of what would become her current firm in the show, Chase gets sent to PCA where he doesn’t have to deal with Teacher!Dad or baby siblings and meets his friends there
That’s how I imagine everything correlating to both shows:
When Zoey meets Chase, he obviously has been at PCA for a while and enjoys it there
He sees reflections of Riley in Nicole and Maya in Dana, and can definitely see the braininess of Farkle in Quinn
The show goes on as normal until we get to A Million Rain Drops
This is a big thing for Chase, and I can see Mrs. Svorski, the elder woman from GMW who is a friend of Auggie, being like a grandmother to Chase, watching him when both young parents had to work
He sees her as his grandmother and is truly heartbroken from this, as is his younger brother Auggie
Another big thing is when Chase wants to transfer from PCA to England
In GMW, Topanga has an opportunity to work in a branch in London, somewhere her whole family would have to move
The firm could, again, offer education and security for her children, explaining how Chase was able to move to schools so easily after Zoey left PCA
He gets a semester than goes back to PCA, where the Zoey 101 finale leaves us
Now, fun ideas!
Riley learning that her older brother has a crush on Zoey when he calls home and already planning on getting them together just like how her mom and dad did
Riley and Auggie watching their brother’s show every time it updates and calling him to tell him how much they enjoyed it every time
Maya punching Logan in the face at least once
Quinn and Farkle talking science together while Smackle joins in and tries to recreate her laser watch
Zoey meeting the Matthews, and while Auggie, Cory, and Topanga love her, Riley and Maya are critical of whether the girl they’ve heard so much about is really all that her brother said
Riley being jealous of Zoey and the PCA crew like how Dustin was jealous of Quinn and Lola for stealing all of Zoey’s time
Awkward siblings Chase and Riley being the clumsy messes they are together, being a hazard to society
Chase returning to NYC in all the holiday episodes
Chase casually dropping random facts to his PCA friends that make them shocked because how could he haVE NEVER MENTIONED HIS UNCLE WAS THE SENATOR OF NY BEFORE
Awkward protective Chase Matthews and Lucas Friar interacting in some way
There are just so many ideas here! Please tell me what you think and be free to add anything on!
wait... when did gmw compare rilaya to betty and veronica??? i am confused
2x10 - Girl Meets the New Teacher
Auggie: Okay, Riley. I finished this Archie comic book you gave me.Riley: I wanted to start him on the road to good books.Maya: What’d ya learn from it, Augs?
Auggie: Wellll, this dark-haired girl and this blonde girl both like the same boy and they all stay best friends. Could that really happen?
i am once again reminded that many of y'all are sleeping on one of my favorite indie promotions: ETU (Expect The Unexpected) Wrestling.
If you have access to IWTV and enjoy GCW, TNA, or want to get an early peek at the next generation of ROH / AEW / NXT talent, i gotta recommend you check out their events.
