Also, Ava faces her biggest fear came true- her Father leaving the house after an argument with her mother. No wonder she picks these traits up and does it towards Auggie...
2. "Girl Meets Jexica": Why Riley had to make a fake profile for a student that don't even exist? Simple: her insecurity of course. That and the whole class gives her fake persona a popularity boost.

13. "Girl Meets World of Terror 3": Auggie is now a literal ghost, because of a what if scenario where Riley and Maya never became friends, Farkle and Smackle are still somewhat rivals, Lucas being a lone wolf who secretly cares about Riley being used over by Maya, Ava going out with Dewey instead, and where Auggie himself was never born! The only solution: having Riley and Maya be friends again in this horrifying AU!
