Cory/Lauren Story Ideas
When people talk about how they wish Cory and Lauren dated or how Cory/Lauren would be a better couple than Cory/Topanga, a lot of it is because we never saw Cory/Lauren fight or have conflict with each other.
If they did date, what would those episodes actually look like, since it obviously couldn’t just be them getting along all the time. Here are 10 story ideas I came up with, feel free to pitch your own in the comments:
- Cory doesn’t know what to do when there’s no conflict/fights with Lauren. He’s so used to having conflict with Topanga that he starts inventing conflict with Lauren. He also can’t help but compare things Lauren does to how Topanga did them. How she kisses, how she writes him notes, etc
- Cory realizes that Lauren’s mountain lifestyle is different than other girls. She eats different (catches her own fish/hunts her own meat), always wants to be outdoors, doesn’t shave her arms, etc.
- Cory thinks he wants sex with Lauren, but is scared when it’s about to happen
- Lauren and Eric flirt since they’re the same age. Turns into Cory being jealous of Eric and Cory realizing he’s immature and that he will have to be more mature to be with Lauren
- Lauren visits Cory at John Adams and gets made fun of for dating a younger guy. The episode goes into the gender dynamics of younger men/older women
- Lauren wants to start a family soon, Cory thinks he’s too young
- Lauren has been cheated on in the past and lets it slip that Cory is a “safe” option
- Cory wants to maintain a friendship with Topanga, but Lauren wants him to cut her off
- Lauren tells Cory she loves him, but Cory doesn’t know if he feels the same way. He knew Topanga his whole life, whereas he just met Lauren
- Lauren is more adventurous and a social butterfly than Cory. Cory sees Lauren having a deep conversation with another guy and thinks she must be falling for him since that’s how she fell for Cory
