^ Right? That's always an interesting question to tackle, because two people don't choose their family but they do choose their friends. I can definitely picture Riley and Auggie being able to say that they are siblings and friends.

Definitely, & it helps that there's not really a big age gap between them

It will kinda be like how Cory & Eric were

rocky845

^ Really? I've always thought that the age gap between them is rather significant. I mean, seven years is pretty big, right? Anyway, it's so great that they have been able to relate to each other, even though they have different priorities in life.

Well, I think that they kinda retconned the age gap between Cory & Eric, they were both in college at the same time in that later years

rocky845

^ I always forget that part. If Girl Meets World had been around long enough for the Core Six to get to their college years, I can't imagine that TPTB would have been able to take that step with Riley and Auggie. Fudging Cory and Eric's ages to send them to college at the same time was possible since they looked like they were close in age, but there seemed to be a more noticeable age gap between Riley and Auggie. I don't think it would have worked a second time around.

I agree, they couldn't get away with it with Riley & Auggie, but it is funny when I think about how they did it with Cory & Eric

Still, I can see Auggie hanging out with Riley & her friends, even if he isn't quite at the same life stage as them

rocky845

^ The sad thing is that I didn't even notice.

That would be so sweet! I think Auggie would fit right in with Riley and her friends. I've always found him mature for his age.

starryeyesxx

Yeah, & Riley's friends already seem to love him

rocky845

^ Yes! Riley's friends probably already think of him as their little brother as well, which will make his inclusion in their group seamless.

starryeyesxx

They definitely did! I bet that all of them would be protective of him if they were all out somewhere together

rocky845

^ I can see that. I think Auggie would really appreciate having Riley's friends as his back-up, especially if he were to get in some real trouble.

starryeyesxx

Yeah, it would probably make him pretty bold, knowing that he had all of them to fall back on

rocky845

^ I can see that. Even though I'm sure they would back him up everytime, let's hope Auggie doesn't find himself in trouble too often. Do you think Riley thinks of her friends as Auggie's friends too? =)

starryeyesxx

Probably, but I think that when they were all older, it would be a good storyline for Riley to maybe feel a bit possessive of her friends & not want to always share them with her little brother

rocky845

^ Aw, that would have been a fantastic storyline! Can you imagine Riley and Auggie battling for her friends' attention? It would have been so entertaining. =p
