Josh and Maddie (also known as Mosh) is the popular, romantic/friendship pairing between Josh Willcox and Maddie Rooney. They are the most popular pairing on the show as of season 3. Josh and Maddie first met in Cowbell-A-Rooney and Josh was revealed to have feelings for Maddie, after instantly falling in love with her, which he admitted to Liv. In Secret-Admirer-A-Rooney, Josh wanted and tried to ask Maddie out. During a basketball lesson, they almost kissed and she was revealed to like him back. Then in Vive-La-Rooney, Josh and Maddie admitted their feelings for each other to her dad, with Maddie saying Josh liked her and he asked for advice. Josh tried to get over his extreme fears in order to be with Maddie and had the courage to tell her how he truly felt. Maddie said she was finally ready to move on, she and Josh admitted their true feelings for each other, Maddie asked Josh out, and they started dating.

In Home Run-A-Rooney, Maddie and Josh went on their first date to a baseball match, which included a do-over first date, since the date didn't go so great the first time. Then in Scoop-A-Rooney, Josh and Maddie's relationship was growing very strong, but Diggie returned wanting Maddie back despite her dating Josh, leaving her confused on who she wanted to be with.

In Choose-A-Rooney, Josh revealed he and Maddie had been dating for two months, but she had to choose between him or Diggie. Maddie chose Diggie, causing her and Josh to break up. Josh said he would be okay, but really struggled to let Maddie go, showing how strong his feelings were for her and again, showing he loved her, leaving Josh completely heartbroken, so much he even cried a little, and Maddie was left teary-eyed. Then in Friend-A-Rooney, Josh is really depressed after his break up with Maddie, causing him to lose his confidence, showing Josh still loves Maddie and isn't over her. It even goes as far as him not remembering how to do stuff, including how to breathe.

It has been confirmed that Josh is in love with Maddie.[1][2] In Ex-A-Rooney, Josh and Maddie start to hang out again, rekindling their friendship, which causes Joey to feel awkward and question their friendship. In End-A-Rooney, Mosh is given a final acknowledgment, when Dump Truck says he prefers Maddie with Josh and is "Team Mosh forever".

Relationship History

Josh and Maddie first met in Cowbell-A-Rooney when Maddie saw Josh being thrown against the school lockers, unaware he was shooting a scene from Voltage, and he instantly fell in love with her. After the cowbell competition, Josh admitted his feelings for Maddie to Liv. In Secret-Admirer-A-Rooney, they had a rough start. Josh wanted to ask Maddie out, but he was unsure if he should, knowing she had just gotten out of one with Diggie, but he attempted to anyways, but instead was scared to do so and made up an excuse to need basketball lessons for a scene in Voltage, when he just really wanted to spend time with her. Likewise, Maddie wasn't excited at first, as she thought Liv was trying to meddle. Later on though, she was revealed to like him back. The two had a romantic, somewhat intense moment, where they locked eyes and almost kissed, but Maddie started laughing, unaware of Josh's move, leaving him confused and disappointed. Then in Vive-La-Rooney, Maddie said she was finally ready to move on, Josh told Maddie he really liked her, they admitted their true feelings for each other, Maddie asked Josh out, and they started dating.

In Home Run-A-Rooney, Maddie and Josh went on their first date to a basketball match, which included a do-over first date, since the date didn't go so great the first time. Then in Scoop-A-Rooney, Josh and Maddie's relationship was going strong, but Diggie returned wanting Maddie back despite her dating Josh, leaving her confused on who she wanted to be with.

In Choose-A-Rooney, Josh revealed he and Maddie had been dating for two months, but she had to choose between him or Diggie. Maddie chose Diggie, despite her really strong feelings for Josh, causing them to break up. Josh said he'd be okay, but really struggled to let Maddie go, showing how strong his feelings truly were for her and that he might have loved her, leaving Josh completely heartbroken, so much he even cried a little, and Maddie was left teary-eyed. In Friend-A-Rooney, Josh is really depressed after his break up with Maddie, causing him to lose his confidence and not remembering how to do things such as filming scenes from Voltage, even going as far as not remembering how to breathe, showing he still loves her.

In Ex-A-Rooney, Josh and Maddie start to hang out together again with Joey, rekindling their friendship, which causes him to feel awkward and question their friendship. In End-A-Rooney, Mosh is given a final acknowledgment, as Dump Truck says he prefers Maddie with Josh and is "Team Mosh forever".

Maddie: (gasps, rushes over and helps Josh up) Whoa, buddy. Hey are you okay?
Josh: (turns to camera crew) I guess that's a cut? (Maddie is confused and Josh turns back to her) We're filming a scene from Voltage.
Josh: You must be Liv's twin, I'm Josh.
Maddie: Maddie. I am so sorry that I ruined one of your scenes.
Josh: It's alright. I'll just have that evil government agent throw me into the lockers, again.
Maddie: (embarrassed) Well, you know what? Feel free to run onto the court during a game, and ruin one of my shots.
Josh: (gives Maddie a flirty look) Well, I might just do that.
Maddie: Do it and you'll be walking funny for a week.
Josh: (looks hurt) You just told me-
Maddie: I know what I said. (Walks away)
Josh: (smiling) It's not gonna be tough telling you and Liv apart.
Maddie: You just got milked!
Josh: (grabs cowbell) Well, I brought you something to dunk in that milk!
Maddie: Bam what?!
Josh: I don't know what that means, but it has me raddled!
(Josh falls against the lockers again, and Maddie rushes over to help him up.)

Josh: Well, if you say it Maddie, I'll like it.
Maddie: Ugh. (In Confessionals) Wow. He really is sweet.
Josh: So, what is it you were going to say? That it's so much fun coaching me?
Maddie: No? No! No! What I was going to say is that you...are...no where near ready for your big basketball scene, no where. Uh yeah, you should just probably plan on coming here, like everyday, cause we have a lot of work to do. You know, you and me together.

Liv: Yay!
Liv: You didn't shut it down, you cranked it up, you like Josh!
Maddie: Stop, don't say anything, not a word, shut your mouth, remain silent.
(Maddie walks back outside and she and Josh just stare at each other for several seconds)
Maddie: Well, what are you doing just standing around J-Man? Lets play some b-ball (throws basketball at Josh and he catches it)

Josh: (clinging onto a tree, scared) Hey Maddie.
Maddie: (chuckling) What-what-why are you up here?
Josh: To play some treehouse horse, cause that's what you love. (looks down to the ground) Even though I'm scared of heights, which I thought I could overcome, but we are way up here.
Maddie: (chuckling)Dude. Seriously? I mean, if you're afraid of heights lets just like get down
Josh (lets go of tree) No, no wait, no wait. This is something that you like to do, so...here I am.
Maddie: Josh, why are you doing this?
Josh: Because, I really like you, Maddie. And I wanna go out with you.
Maddie: (blushing) Josh, I don't know if I'm ready to go out with anybody yet.
Josh: Okay. Well, that also means you don't know if you're not ready.

Maddie: Not to brag, but it was pretty spectacular.
Josh: After what? What's going on?

Josh: (smiles) Maddie, this is really sweet.
Maddie: I really like Josh. Like really, really like Josh. The last thing I wanna do is make him feel bad.
Josh: I thought when you took me to the ball park, I figured that was my moment to shine.
Maddie: Oooh, you wanted to impress me.
Josh: Yeah, I did, and I'm gonna. But it doesn't count unless you're trying just as hard as I am. (leans in closer to Maddie, gives her a flirty looks) Don't ever turn off your comparative fire. Its one of the things I like most about you.

However, Josh loses when he misses the hoop and, again, slams into the lockers, Maddie is shocked and runs over again to help him up. In the end, at the Rooney's house, after the competition, Josh asks Liv if Maddie is dating anyone and she says no, only for Liv to discover that Josh likes Maddie, which he admits to, saying she is adorable.

It is also stated that whenever Josh sees Liv, he just sees Maddie and that his crush on her is huge, revealing how strong his feelings are for her, implying he is in love with her, but he is too afraid to ask her out since she just ended a long-distance relationship with Diggie. However, when Liv tells Maddie she has a secret admirer, referring to Josh, Maddie says she is not interested in dating anyone right now, because of what happened between her and Diggie. Liv tells Josh about this, but he decides to take the chance to ask Maddie out anyway despite what Liv has told him. Josh goes in the backyard to see Maddie playing basketball and tricks her into thinking he needs coaching for a scene for next weeks episode of Voltage, even though it's not true, and Maddie agrees to help Josh. During the lesson, they have a game of one-on-one and caught up in the moment, Josh almost kisses Maddie when she asks what happens next, but starts laughing when she is unaware that he wants to kiss her, leaving him confused and somewhat disappointed. When Maddie is reading a script of Voltage, she finds out from Liv that Josh is her secret admirer, but doesn't want to date him when Liv persuades her to. However, this is only because of what happened between Maddie and Diggie. Maddie decides to shut down the whole secret admirer thing down when Liv says she thinks Josh and Maddie would be really good together. During a confessional, Maddie realises she returns Josh's feelings for her but does not tell him, which Liv also figures out and Maddie agrees to continue giving Josh basketball lessons.

Vive-La-Rooney

Tumblr o43b5rHQEW1v6qolho8 500

Josh asks advice from Pete about girls, admitting he likes Maddie without Pete realising who Josh is talking about and Josh learns that Maddie's favourite thing to do is play Treehouse Horse, so gets her to play against him, despite his extreme fear of heights. Maddie talks to Pete, telling him she knows Josh likes her and she likes him but is afraid of getting hurt again. Maddie asks Josh why he is doing this and he tells her he really likes her, but Maddie assures Josh that she isn't sure if she is ready to date anyone yet despite liking him back. Josh convinces Maddie to play a game of Treehouse Horse and if he wins (which he knew was unlikely), she has to go out on a date with him, which she agrees on. When Josh loses against Maddie and starts to leave, she talks him into staying up. During the process, Maddie tells Josh she likes him too and asks him out. Josh, excitedly, agrees to go on a date with Maddie, and they become a couple.

MoshHug

The first Mosh hug! 😊

Maddie is nervous about her first date with Josh and asks Joey for help, which leads him to tell her they need a place where they can be alone. Maddie and Josh go to a charity baseball game, but when they both try to catch a home run ball by Josh's favourite player, Brandon Crawford, Maddie pushes him out of the way to catch it. Maddie soon realises that Josh is upset and feels guilty for embarrassing and upsetting him, saying she really, really likes Josh, like Maddie's feelings for Josh are stronger than they seem. Maddie decides to make it up to Josh by letting him meet Brandon Crawford and catch a home run ball from him. Josh tells Maddie that he was only upset because he is just as competitive as she is and that every time they hang out, Maddie always beats Josh at something (referring to Cowbell-A-Rooney, Secret-Admirer-A-Rooney and Vive-La-Rooney). Maddie realises that Josh has been wanting to impress her, which he says yes too. Josh tells Maddie that she shouldn't give up her competitive side for him, because It's one of the things he likes most about her, making the two to start flirting again. They compete against each other and Josh beats Maddie, the two share their first hug and make up.

Scoop-A-Rooney

MoshSnuggle

Aw, just look at them!💜

Josh and Maddie's relationship is growing strong and they go on a date. Parker also refers to them as Mosh, which they both seem to like. When they are on a date at Goofy Garry's, a reporter sees them and mistakes Maddie for Liv, which leads a photo of them to be shown on the news. Maddie doesn't want Diggie to see the photo of her with Josh, so asks Liv to play along after telling the world she hasn't had time for a boyfriend. Liv agrees to play along for Maddie's sake. However, this backfires when Josh and Maddie are again at Goofy Garry's and Diggie unexpectedly returns, haven seen the picture of Maddie and Josh, knowing they are dating. Despite Maddie dating Josh, Diggie wants her back, much to her shock. This leaves Maddie confused on who she really wants to be with, leaving the episode on a cliff hanger until the next episode.

Choose-A-Rooney

Mosh Holding Hands

Josh reveals that he and Maddie have been together for two months, its been great and they are planning on going on a picnic date. However, when they attend Jonny and Gemma's wedding, problems accrue when Diggie turns up as Joey's plus-one. Maddie tells Liv that she is now with Josh and he makes her really happy and they share their second hug when Josh calls Maddie beautiful. Maddie and Josh share a dance even though it's not actually shown. When Diggie sings at the wedding to try to get Maddie back, Josh looks at the way Maddie is looking at Diggie, looking very heartbroken, with his head down and he even cries a bit. After the performance, Maddie and Josh break up with Josh saying Maddie and Diggie have some unfinished business. Maddie apologies to Josh for breaking his heart, and he says it's okay. Josh really struggles to let Maddie go, obviously not wanting to let go of her hand, showing how strong his feelings for her really are, but he loves her enough to let her go. Josh sadly walks away from Maddie, devastated, broken, leaving him completely heartbroken and her teary-eyed.

Friend-A-Rooney

Josh has been feeling very depressed ever since he and Maddie broke up and is suffering from depression and it causes him to no focus properly when he is working on Voltage since he clearly has her on his mind and that he still loves her, but is suffering from a broken heart, which causes him to lose his confidence. Josh is suffering so badly he has forgotten how to do certain things like how to brush his teeth properly and Liv offers to help him by doing breathing excesses. However, it gets worse when Josh forgets how to breathe and almost completely stops breathing. During a scene from Voltage Josh is still having difficulties to the point where he either talks in a low or high voice, but Liv realises Josh is better when Joey is around so Gemma hires Joey to part of Voltage to be able to boost his confidence, which helps Josh get through the scene and increases his confidence. However, when Liv and Joey are talking, Josh overhears Liv telling Joey they are paying him to be Josh's friend, really hurting his feelings and causes him to get mad at them both. Joey and Liv both try to apologise to Josh for hurting his feelings and Joey tells Josh that he hasn't been faking the friendship. Liv apologies to Josh for going behind his back and he accepts it, appreciating her trying to help him. Josh looks at Liv in a very heartbroken way, possibly hinting he might still be seeing Maddie through her (which he stated he does in Secret-Admirer-A-Rooney), but they are able to make up.

Maddie and Josh run into each other when he is working with Joey and she has come home early. Joey has been trying to keep Maddie and Josh apart due to Josh not taking the break up well, showing he might still not be 100% over Maddie just yet. Maddie and Josh are able to rekindle their friendship when they hang out with Joey, which causes Joey to feel awkward, especially since Josh suffered a lot from his break up with Maddie. Josh wants to reschedule filming a scene for his and Joey's movie to hang out with Maddie at a game, but after Liv pulls a switch-a-Rooney, Joey admits that ever since Maddie and Josh have hung out together, he's worried Josh wants to hang out with just Maddie and not him. Josh apologises to Maddie for not going to the game with her and she says she totally gets it.
