maya + lucas | she let him go

[@twoyoungroses]

I think Maya was protecting Riley by stepping back and saying she didn't like Lucas. When Riley brought her back from her identity crisis, she said she only brought her back to where she needed. Riley brought Maya back to the season one version of herself who had no hope and pushed Riley and Lucas together. I believe that eventually Maya will get back the growth from season two and realise sometimes she needs to put her own happiness first.

[@abigailkernmorgan]

history repeats itself. just like in the beginning, in girl meets true maya, maya came in while Riley is singing. rucas and joshaya. it started over.

[@bigmeatyclawzz]

yes. Maya knew Riley couldn't handle not being picked. even sabrina said in an interview that maya is a very smart girl. She's always one step ahead of everybody. she knew what was gonna happen before it even started.

[@madijohnson9336]

am I the only one thinking this when this scene happened: Lucas: "what are the odds that riley fell into my lap?" Me: THEY ARE NOT ODDS MAYA PUSHED HER!

[@andy-fj5ji]

i actually shouted that line

[@heatherambrose4331]

[@evelyn_4476]

Trueeee

[@vale6399]

MadiRose actually then lucas says that

[@briannawelch5297]

i believe that maya has always liked lucas since the subway but wanted riley to be happy so pushed her into him and she's saying she likes josh but actually likes lucas deep down inside but doesn't want to hurt riley she's stepping back again

If he really loved Riley, he wouldn't have fallen in love with Maya.

[@otraunicorniacualquiera7313]

But he didn't, he never said that, he was only so nice and caring that he didn't want to hurt her

[@bellefromdollatree7476]

Have you ever read a book. People fall in love with more than one person all the time, like in the Infernal devices or Throne of Glass or The Selection. That doesn't mean they don't truly love either person.

[@thelilacrose6185]

since: Riley was Lucas's first so she belongs with him. sensibility: maya is the one who pushed riley. she put her feelings aside (like she always does) and did whatever she had to do to make riley happy. (like always(because somehow Riley's feelings always deem more important). (plus maya and Lucas show way more emotion and its way less awkward)

[@dsjtravels]

Natalia Evans exactly

[@MickyR31]

2:24 he looks so hurt that she said she doesn't know.. but she obviously loves him and he loves her.. hence "if you care about me you will pick riley" he chose riley because she asked him too.

[@RockyAexiiy]

Maya: I was just protecting her. ME: *looking all those lucaya moments* LIIIIIIIESSSS.

[@danielagutierrez2929]

To be honest I dont like Riley, I mean Maya had always gave up on so many things just for her..ans its unfair I mean she always put herself after and her friends before but Riley never noticed that and it sucks..Damn I dont know if its just me, but I will have loved to watch an episode in which Maya had bursted and tell everything that shes been carrying inside to Riley and last but not least to put an end to that dake friendship Riley gave to her all along😊

[@lou-xr5rz]

same :(

[@mariasolesampaoli7563]

Me too. At the end I don’t like Riley, Maya did the impossible for her, and Riley?! She loves her and everything, but she never sacrificed anything for her

[@jaycievictory8461]

Gorgeous and beautifully edited. I particularly liked how you cut Maya "letting Lucas go"/sending him to Riley at the ski lodge with her letting him go/sending him off with Riley on the horse. In both scenes she is wearing a jean jacket with roses embroidered on it. No way that's a coincidence. The costumers did that on purpose. We're supposed to draw parallels between the scenes. S2 went on to say that Maya had liked Lucas for a long time but continually stepped back. So that scene parallel in Ski Lodge Part 2 is so important - it's telling the viewer that no matter what's being said on the surface, Maya *still* likes Lucas and she is *still* stepping back. And if you want that underlined, just look at her face in the lodge as Lucas leaves. That is not the face of someone who's happily had their feelings explained away and now has their heart's desire AKA Josh. She looks heartbroken. We need an s4 so bad. There is a lot more of this story to tell.

[@harishinisivakumar7142]

Awww...look at Zay at 1:04 being all happy for our precious babies!!

[@sadbeautifultragic013]

Gah, the more videos I watch (haven't seen an episode of the show, but binge watching tributes and obsessed with lucaya), the more I think Riley and Lucas's dynamic is so childish... Riley only really seems to like Lucas because he's her first crush and it seems more like a surface crush. But Maya and Lucas have such a deeper connection and have such great chemistry and like each other for who they are and seem to understand each other better. I honestly don't understand why the writers didn't go for the more developed pairings, Lucaya and Riarkle.

[@rachel9135]

Rucas is the reason GMW got canceled.

[@elenabrooke6353]

You're completely right & the whole maya was protecting/became Riley thing is ridiculous & beautiful video 😊

[@imaninoelle2821]

I feel like Riley is a bad friend towards Maya because i feel like in a way Rileyconfused maya because riley was all telling her that she turned into riley because she was being good so riley was all like oh is that why you like lucas because i like lucas like no maya likes lucas because she thinks lucas is a good guy she said it herself riley even said that she makes fun of lucas because she likes him and that she stepped back for riley so thats means maya like lucas since day one so why all of a sudden maya turned into riley which she didnt but she turned into riley and thats why she like lucas like this is so dumb and i feel like gmw is turning into one of the boring disney channel shows that make no sense

[@linaleverloppan.9752]

Yeah. What I also didn't like about Riley is that she pushed Maya in this situation and blames Maya for liking the same guy. Maya didn't want to tell anyone about her crush on Lucas, it was Riley who forced her.

[@alihiggins-i6f]

I believe Lucas originally chose Maya beacuase when they were talking about jelly beans. Lucas was talking about how coincidence with Riley but with maya he was talking about personality

[@liaprodz]

Thank you so much for the wonderful feedback for this video!

That is so true maya locked up her fellings for Riley and let Lucas walk away when she liked him too

[@a.sekayi715]

This video just reminds me how much this show needed more seasons! It needed to be picked up by another network! I needed to see a continuation. I needed to see them go through more 'stuff' in life and figure them out together. I'm pretty sure this triangle thing would have come up again 🤣😂 cause there is no wayyyyyy maya and lucas never really liked each other. I really wish it continued. This was my favorite Disney show. 😭💓 Nice edit/video btw😁🤗

This is literally everything

[@idek9600]

Funny thing is Maya and Riley’s friendship wasn’t equal, maybe in Riley’s eyes it was but maya always put Riley before herself

[@janelleweiberg]

this is the most beautiful i've ever seen

[@faithobehi5515]

If it was always Riley why did it take him so long to pick her .... Lucas and maya have love for one another ..

[@aelida3900]

this is amazing and I completely agree with you! Lucaya is real

[@imdelightfulfilms1990]

What an great show sadly it ended but Riley and Maya friendship was deep but i hate how Maya had putted her friends friendship behind her happiness and i am not against it but she needs to be happy and find love and if wasnt for May who pushed Riely towards Lucas on the subway she would've never met him. (This was the last show i actually liked from disney and sadly it's gone.)

[@rianna3240]

This is 100% accurate 😍 what episode was it when lucas said 'it's always been riley. It had always been riley since the day she fell in my lap in the subway'???!!!

[@liaprodz]

It's from "Girl Meets Triangle" :)

[@emmamohammed2288]

But it's Maya who saw him first. Maya stepped back for Riley every single time. It's Maya who let go of Riley's hand on the subway. Maya made every thing happen.

[@callieclarke6367]

+Emma Mohammed Yeah everyone seems to forget Maya actually met him first when she went up to him and said "Hi I'm Maya and you're really cute..."

[@gosiamiezniewska4460]

+Emma Mohammed you're right

[@bellefromdollatree7476]

+Emma Mohammed Maya stepped back for Riley when she poured the smoothie on him. She didn't want to get too close to him like Riley is. This is why I think the song "close"😉 is a perfect song for both Maya and Lucas..

[@jennab1574]

I love this one so much. As I've seen other comments stated, history is repeating itself. We have the season one Maya and season one ships back. But eventually, we will get back the growth.

[@shannonquinlan9819]

This is absolutely beautiful!!! Very well done

Honestly one of my favorite lucaya fanvid. Really great !

[@sophiadreamer9191]

This one of the best Lucaya videos it really helped me love Lucaya even more

[@fatoudieng6925]

Maya only told Lucas to choose Riley because she cares abt Riley so she stepped back once again. Riley only stepped back for a day.Deep down maya still loves Lucas

[@DirectionerLover17]

This is literally such an amazing edit, I love it so much. I keep watching it over and over cause it gives me the feels.

[@kimalmoneda8981]

Im not crying you are

[@doumielle]

Bruh the FEELS!!!!! 😭👌

[@cairo7478]

This is my favorite Lucaya ever. (And I've seen a lot trust me.) This is so perfect and beautiful and all the dislikes are probably from Rucas and Joshaya stans. The "Maya became Riley" is just a dumb story line that I don't know if it's just dumb because of stupidity or did they make it because they WANTED Josh to be manipulative (Which really seemed like the case.) like they said in the show "things are just words" which is all Rucas and Joshaya are based on WORDS! People only ship them because of words or just think they look cute together. Josh is barely on the show and then all of a sudden knows how Maya feels and suddenly likes her....don't come at me with that bullshit. Even if Lucaya ends up together (Which they better.) the storyline is still dumb. And, I don't care who gets mad at me for this but I DO NOT like Riley in season 3 they always talk about their friendship is the most important thing but it seems like in season three she only cares about a guy. Uchh done ranting.😤

[@cairo7478]

still watching this a thousand times a day 😭😭😭 forever broken

[@lovingsturnxiolo]

Yess!! Rucas and Joshaya are just crush. Riley fell for Lucas bc of Looks. Maya fell for josh bc of looks but Maya and Lucas fell through each other over friendship and conversations. Josh definitely manipulates Maya you can see it in her facial expressions and I refuse to believe that Maya never liked Lucas. It was all a plot point just to get rucas together.

[@nonosquares5253]

Yep, this is endgame. Lucaya is end game. Riley and lucas were actually... not supposed to be endgame and welp we all have theories and opinions

This is sooooo good! I love how Rilaya was a huge part of the video.

Maya: if you know me at all you know the last thing I would do is want anything that’s Riley’s (aka Lucas) RILEY DOES NOT OWN LUCAS

[@lovingsturnxiolo]

That’s the thing in S3 that I don’t like about Riley’s character she think Lucas is his and he can’t be with Someone else or compliment Maya(in girl meets true Maya Lucas said “deep down Maya’s beautiful” then Riley got jealous so quick and said “okay calm down”)

[@briananunez3460]

[@izzypaige8261]

Who else cried when watching this bc their just like Maya

[@mariasolesampaoli7563]

LUCAYA AND RUCAS STORY: •Lucas and Riley like each other but they’re not ready so they break up, but they still like each other •In the same time Maya start to like Lucas, but she doesn’t do anything, because she wants Riley’s happiness. Lucas likes Riley, but I think in the same time he starts to have feelings for Maya, but he confuse them for only friendship. •Riley says to Lucas he’s like a brother and Lucas is confused •At the campfire Lucas’ feelings for Maya come out and Maya’s too. •They start to dating, but it’s embarassing. • Everybody discoveres that Riley still like Lucas. •Lucas has to choose between Maya and Riley now. My opinion: I think Lucas chose Riley because he saw how Maya was looking at Josh. He thought that she had still feelings for him, so he picked Riley, but it wasn’t true that Maya loved Josh! Lucas had to choose, and she felt insicure and she tried to found distraction with Josh. And everything happened. So Maya decided to play the long game with Josh, but ONLY because Lucas picked Riley. Ok it’s a little bit confused, but I tried to explain. Sorry for some errors, English is my second lenguage!!

[@kieraraker8741]

[@porchetstephanie7150]

from witch FIlm/Serie is it?

[@sunshinewillow2901]

i don’t think that Maya “turned into Riley”, I think that she just stepped back again. “you know the last thing that i would ever want is something that’s Riley’s.” She did this because she knew that Lucas had already chose Riley, and that she could do nothing about it. Because she cared about Lucas so much ,she let Riley have Lucas. “you only know you love something when you let it go.” Maya was the one who truly liked Lucas.

[@aliciawright4847]

Does anyone else think that maya wanted to feel the void between Her and Josh with Lucas and ends up accutully liking Lucas more than she thought she would and she gets so tangled up between the two and even though she trys not wanting to be with Lucas because she knows that ryile likes him. Or is that just me

[@lulumaryyy]

I know there’s two ships, but I always thought the real special relationship in this show was Riley and Maya. I hated the love triangle because it was just so ridiculous to me to mess with the best relationship of the show. At the end Maya ended with her forever love so🤷🏽‍♀️

[@sarai.ruiz06]

I know Lucas liked Riley more all the time, he just was scared to let maya down, until maya stepped back because she found out the truth. I still ship Lucaya. Riley and Lucas they're the same like brother and sister, Well maya and Lucas, They're so different, perfect for each other, "lucaya" a unique name, will never die. RIP "lucaya"
