And They Lived Happily Ever After ?

by gabyellaaaa

So this is my very first fanfiction. I apologize if it sounds weird. This is all RUCAS. Lucas and Riley are living in LA. They've been together for six years. Lucas is going to propose to Riley. But on their wedding day someone pays Riley a visit. Someone from her past. As Lucas and Riley go on the journey of life and they go through a lot and they realize things along the way.

1. Part One

And they lived happily ever after..

It was a Saturday morning in LA and Riley Mattews was sound asleep right next to her boyfriend of six years; Lucas Friar. When he woke up, he turned around and faced Riley, he adored the way she slept. Even though she's sleeping, she's still the most perfect human being on this planet. He thought to himself. He quickly got out of bed, put on some pants and ran out to his car to grab a gift. Once he grabbed the gift, he quickly ran back inside to find Riley still sound asleep. He placed the gift on her dresser and left a note that said: "good morning baby girl, put this beautiful dress on and meet me out on the patio for a little brunch that I have prepared for you. See you soon." – L

Lucas was in the kitchen, he had set up a beautiful table outside on the patio, and it had the perfect view of the ocean. After he finished setting up, he went upstairs and got dressed. He put on a baby blue button up shirt and white dress pants, then he just simply slipped on some sandals. He knew that he should wear better shoes but Riley could wake up at any minute. He was nervous because today was the day he was going to propose to her.

Riley woke up and turned around to find Lucas nowhere in sight. She quickly sat up when she noticed the box. She read the note attached to it. Then a smile spread across her face. She opened the box to find a dress and tiffany earrings. It was a short baby blue strapless dress with a sweet heart neckline. She absolutely loved it. She quickly brushed her teeth, did her hair and makeup, slipped on the dress. She found her favorite white heels to wear with the dress and quickly made her way downstairs. There she found Lucas sitting outside waiting for her. He was texting his mom about how nervous he was to propose to her. She was trying to get him to calm down.

Riley cleared her throat, he quickly looked up and froze. The way she looked in that dress completely left him speechless. She looked so gorgeous. "Wow, you look amazing." He said as he made his way over to her and gave her a kiss. She blushed. "What is all this?" she asked, "I wanted to do something special, for a very special girl.' He said. She looked down and blushed. They finally sat down and started to eat. Lucas was nervous. There was so many thoughts that were running through his head. He couldn't even eat. He was still left speechless on Riley's beauty. She noticed that Lucas was barely touching his food. "Is everything okay? You seem distracted by something" Riley asked. "You're beauty is really distracting. But there's actually something I've been wanting to do. For a while now. I just didn't know when the right time was. But now I do." He said as he moved closer to her and took her hand.

"Riley, you have turned my world upside down. When you fell into my lap on the subway, I knew I had to have you or else I'd die. I always knew that it was you. I know it makes me sound crazy but it doesn't matter. We have been through so many ups and downs together but we have come out stronger than ever. You are the piece of me that has always been missing. Through your eyes, I see myself in a whole new better way. You have made me a better person and with you, I finally know what true love is. So Riley Matthews.." He said as he got down on one knee. "Will you please do me the honor and marry me?" Riley was beaming and tears were rolling down her cheeks, "of course I will!" she exclaimed. Lucas had the biggest smile on his face, he completely forgot about the ring and picked Riley up and swung her around, and when he put her back down he gave her a passionate kiss "Oh! The ring!" he said as he quickly grabbed it and put it on her ring finger.

Lucas pulled her into another passionate kiss. "I love you" he said in between kisses. "I will always love you more." Riley teased. "Oh we'll see about that." Lucas said as he threw Riley over his shoulder and took her inside.

Chapter 2: The Planning begins

Riley's POV:

It was Sunday and Lucas was at a baseball game with Farkle. Riley was at home with the company of Maya Hart. "I can't believe it! I Riley Matthews am going to marry Lucas Friar!" I said as I twirled around bedroom. "Well it was about time! I'm going to be the maid of honor right?" Maya (best friend since kindergarten) asked. "Of course! I must start planning right away!" I said as I sat down on my bed next to Maya. "Well honey, I can help with that." Maya said with a smile. We spent the whole day discussing wedding details. They knew that wedding planning was going to be the biggest pain. But I didn't care. I was going to marry the love of her life. I couldn't be happier.

Lucas's POV:

Farkle and I were enjoying the Giant's vs. A's game and I haven't told Farkle about the proposal. He knew I was going to propose but he didn't know when. "So Lucas, how are things with you and Riley?" Farkle asked as he stuffed his face with a hot dog. "We're up in the clouds right now because there's something I've been needing to tell you. I proposed to Riley yesterday. Farkle smirked. "Lucas, you dog. I should have known. You have been glowing all day." He said. Lucas told him how he proposed and Riley's reaction. But he stopped after that because after he proposed things got very intimate between him and Riley. He didn't want to tell Farkle about that. "So Farkle, we have been best friends-well I should say brothers since middle school and I was wondering if-"Before he could even finished Farkle put his hand over his mouth. "YES I'LL BE YOUR BEST MAN!" Farkle quickly interrupted. They both laughed and finished watching the game.

Maya's POV:

"Okay so what are we thinking? Beach theme?" I asked. Riley sat there for a moment. "I'm not sure. I think I'm going to base the theme off of my wedding dress." She said. "Speaking of wedding dresses, do you have a budget in mind?" I asked. "Well, I called my parents and told them the news. My mom had told me that she was going to pay for my wedding dress. She told me there was no limit because she wants everything to be perfect." She sighed. She was looking down at the ground with a silly smile on her face. "Riles!" I yelled. "Oh sorry, I still can't believe I'm engaged." She said as she admired her ring. We spent the whole day looking at wedding dresses and figured out which styles would look best on her. It was 10pm and Lucas came home. I realized that it was time for me to go. So I said my goodbyes and left.

Lucas's POV:

I just got home to find R iley and Maya glued to the laptop. I went over to my now fiancé and pulled her into my arms. "Hey beautiful." I said as I watch her give me her little cute smile. I leaned in and started to kiss her when Maya interrupted. "Oh get a room." She gagged. "We are in a room. Now that we got that solved. Come here." I said as I cuffed my hands on Riley's face and continued to kiss her. "Yuck, this is making miss my boyfriend. Speaking of my boyfriend, where is he?" Maya asked. "I dropped him off home. He figured you would've been home by now." I said. Maya decided to leave so she said her goodbyes and congratulated us one more time. "Finally! Were alone" I said as I pulled Riley in for another kiss. She giggled as she kissed me. Oh how I loved hearing the sound of her laugh. It was like music to my ears. "Shall we move this thing upstairs." I asked. "We shall." She said and with that I picked her up and carried her to the room.

Fast forward to four months later:

Riley's POV:

After four months of wedding planning, I almost forgot about the most important thing of all. My dress! My parents had come to visit for the weekend. So I decided to go to fly back to New York with my parents, my brother, my best friend and my grandparents. "I can't believe my little girl is getting married." Cory said as tears rolled down his face. "Oh dad, I'll always be your little girl." I said as I put my head on his shoulders. We were waiting for the plane to take off. I was sitting next in between Maya and my father. My grandparents were sitting right in front of us and my mom and Auggie were right behind us. The plane finally took off. The plane ride was filled with laughter and tears. We watched movies and fell asleep a couple of times. We finally landed in New York and took a cab to my parents. It was 9pm so we decided to call it a night. I was sharing a room with Maya. She was taking a shower so I decided to call Lucas.

Lucas's POV:

Riley left for New York to go find her perfect dress. So I decided to have a little guys night. Asher and Dylan surprised me earlier. They told me Riley had sent them here so that I wouldn't be so lonely without her. Even though they were here, I was still lonely because she wasn't here. An hour later Farkle had come over and we were all watching the basketball game. It was Knicks vs. the Bulls. If Riley were here, we would have been going at it. Arguing which team was better and why. We would always play a game. If one team doesn't make a basket, the other either had to do a dare or take drink. As I sat there and thought about her my phone rang. It was Riley. I excused myself from the guys and went out to the patio. They made jokes but I brushed it off.

B- Riley
B- Lucas

"Hey beautiful, I'm glad you called. I miss you."

"I miss you more. I was just calling to check in to see how you were. We finally made it back to parent's house. Are you watching the game?"

"Yeah, I invited the guys over and thank you for inviting Asher and Dylan it was really nice to see them again. I just wish you were here. So I can pour guacamole down your shirt again when the bulls beat you again."

"Well it was my pleasure, I didn't want you to be lonely and what makes you think you're going to win this time?"

"Well, we have won every time we played you. So it's kind of obvious who is going to win here.'

"Well, you never know we can magically beat you guys this year. Anyways, I better go. But I'll talk to you soon. I love and miss you, fiancé"

"I love and miss you more, fiancé"

We hung up and I stood there for a moment and smiled until Asher had called me in. Looks like Riley was right. The Knicks actually beat us this year. She texted me just to gloat in my face. After the boys left, I got ready for bed. I spent the rest of the night texting Riley. She couldn't wait to let me have it.

Chapter 3: The dress

Riley's POV:

I was walking through the streets of New York with my family by my side. So many memories were going through my mind. We finally made it to Kleinfield. "Hello, I'm Riley Matthews and I'm here for my one o' clock appointment" I said to the lady at the front desk. "Hello sweetie, just go ahead and take a seat and your bridal consultant will be with you shortly." We all sat down and it wasn't long before a consultant was walking towards us. Her name was Ashley. She led us to the couches. We talked about the budget and Lucas. I introduced everyone and after that, she took me to a room and asked me what kind of style I wanted. I told her I wanted a sweetheart neckline and a ball gown of course. After that she left the room to go get dresses. She started off with Pnina Tornai and of course Lazaro. She started off with Pnina ball gown. It had big crystals on the neckline, and crystals around the waist. It was breathtaking, but I wasn't quite sure if it was the one. I went out and showed everyone. Their jaws had dropped when they saw her walking out. "Oh Riley, it's beautiful." Topanga said as she put her hand over her heart. Cory was speechless. He didn't know what to say. His little girl was growing up. "Maya, grandma, grandpa, what do you guys think?" I asked nervously. They didn't say a word. "You look amazing Riles, but I'm not a big fan of the bling.' Maya finally said. I agreed with her and so did everyone else. So we went back to the dressing room.

Trying on dress after to dress, I was beginning to feel a little overwhelmed. I thought about switching my style so I tried on three mermaid styles. I loved them but they didn't make me feel like a princess. Until one dress caught my eye. It was an all lace dress, with a sweet heart neckline and the waistline was perfect. It had a belt around the waist that I could easily replace with a crystal belt. "I need to try on that dress." I pointed to the dress. "As you wish princess." Ashley said with a smile as she walked over and took the dress off the hanger. Once I put it on, I knew it was my dress. Even though it was a little simple I loved it. I felt like a bride. Ashley replaced the white belt with a crystal belt. "It's perfect" I said. I tried to hold back my tears but as we got closer to my family they all turned around right on time. I stopped and started sobbing. I quickly made my way over to the pedestal. Ashley then accessorized me. She put a veil on my head and gave me earrings to wear. My family was silent. They were speechless. Cory got up and walked over to his daughter. "This is my dress daddy." I said as I started to get teary-eyed. "You look so beautiful honey," he said as he kissed my forehead. Everyone was on board.

After a fair share of compliments, Ashley asked me the big question. "So Riley, are you saying yes to the dress?" she asked. "I'M SAYING YES TO THE DRESS." I exclaimed. Everyone started to surround me with hugs. After we paid for the dress, we went back to my parent's apartment. I was so happy. I knew I wanted an elegant, sophisticated theme. The colors were going to be white and light pink. I knew I wanted a beautiful chandelier in the center of the whole reception. I wanted a church wedding. I called Lucas to tell him the details and he couldn't wait. I told him we would discuss more when I get home in 2 days. I missed him so much. For the next two days, I went around New York and got some wedding errands finished. I made the invitations with Lucas's okay. He told me to do whatever I wanted because the only thing he cared about was calling me his wife. He wanted to leave everything else to me. Well detail wise.

Lucas POV:

It was a Sunday afternoon, Riley is coming home tomorrow and I decided to get my tux before she came back. So I called Farkle and we went to LA's finest tux shop. We shopped around and tried to be very manly. But we ended up being girls. Mostly Farkle. After trying on so many tuxedos, I finally found the perfect one. It was from Calvin Klein's collection. Farkle got his tuxedo and we went to chipotle after. "So, have you and Riley picked out a wedding date yet?" he asked. "Yeah we did, we decided to get married on August 18th, that was the first day we met." He said. "That's sweet man, so we need to sound more like men. I'm talking bachelor party." He said with a huge grin on his face. "I don't want to go too crazy bud, I want to be able to actually remember some of it and not wake up with a huge hangover on my wedding day." I laughed. We finished the rest of our food and went back to my house and invited some guys over for a little bro-beque.

Fast forward to the bachelor and bachelorette parties:

Riley's POV:

Tonight is my bachelorette party and I am a little nervous to see what Maya has in stored for me. But tomorrow at 3pm I will no longer be Riley Mattews. I will be Riley Grace Friar. I thought to myself. Then I felt someone wrapped their arms around my waist and kissed me on the cheek. "I'll miss you beautiful" the voice said. I knew it was Lucas. So I turned around and wrapped my arms around his neck. "As of tomorrow, I will officially be all yours." I said as I gave him a kiss. The kiss was slow, and passionate. He pulled me in closer to him. After that, it was time for us to say our goodbyes because it was bad luck to see the bride before the wedding. So I planned on spending the night at Maya's after a wild night.

It was 8pm and I curled my hair, did my makeup and put on a little black dress with navy blue strapped heels. Maya showed up at my door along with Smackle, Sarah and Darby. "Ready Matthews, tonight is the night we unleashed the animal inside you." she said. "The party bus awaits." She said as she put a crown on my head and a white slash around me with "bachelorette" written in hot pink. "YAAAAAY!" I yelled and we all got on the party bus. The rest of the night was a blur but I knew I had a good time. We ended the night around 3:45am. We went back to Maya's house and crashed.

Lucas's POV:

I was getting ready for a memorable bachelor party. I wore a red button up shirt and black slacks and dress shoes. My boys and I were about to take over this town. Farkle, Billy, Zay, Asher and Dylan showed up and we hit the strip club. "Lucas, this is officially the last night of your freedom before you become Riley's slave." Zay joked. "I doubt it man," I said as I took a sip of my drink. That night was filled with drinks, strippers and I realized how drunk I was when I saw all the text messages I had sent to Riley telling her how much I wanted her. We ended the night around 4am and we all crashed at Billy's house.

Chapter 4: Wedding bells:

Today was the day of Lucas and Riley's wedding. Everyone was running around getting everything ready. Maya was surprised Riley didn't turn into bridezilla. She was full of so much energy. She was in dreamland.

Riley's POV:

"Maya! Wake up!" I said as I jumped on the bed. Maya groaned and then she realized it was her best friend's wedding day! "You're getting married today!" she yelled as she joined me in the excitement. "Okay, first thing first, food." I said. We got dressed and went to the nearest diner. But quickly walked out when we saw Lucas and Farkle. Farkle saw us and grabbed Lucas to face him while Maya and I ran out the room. "Do you think he saw me?!" I panicked. I knew it was bad luck for the groom to see the bride. "Honey, he didn't see you at all! Let's just go to your mom's diner instead." She said as she dragged me along.

Maya's POV:

We went over to Topanga's and we ordered food to go. I had to keep Riley on a light meal. After that, we had about 20 minutes to kill before her hair and makeup appointment. So we went back to my house and hung out for a bit. After the 20 minutes had past, we headed to the church and went into the bride's room and got ready. Riley did her hair first, so it was makeup for me I saw my maid of honor's dress. It was a long, light purple silky dress with a sweetheart neckline of course. It also had a silver beaded belt around the waist, "Riley, my dress is beautiful!" I said. I was so amazed by it. The other dresses were the same except they didn't have the belt.

Lucas's POV:

Today is the day! I can't wait to see how Riley looks, I can't wait to see her in a wedding dress. This is going to be one of the best days of my life. "Lucas, my man!" Asher called. "You nervous?" he asked. "Very. But once I see Riley I know I'll be okay." I said with a smile. Asher gave me a pat on the back and went to go get ready. We were all in the groom's room. I asked Topanga to give a gift I had gotten for Riley. I wanted her to wear it as she walked down the aisle.

Topanga's POV:

After Lucas gave me a gift to give to my daughter, I started reminiscing about the day she was born, so many flash backs were going through my mind. I walked into the bride's room and my eyes started to water. She was just getting her make up done and looked so gorgeous. "Oh honey." I said as I put my hand over my mouth. She gave me a smiled and gave me a hug. "Thanks mommy, what is that?" she asked, eyeing the box. "Oh I almost forgot, Lucas wanted you to wear this down the aisle." I handed her the box.

Riley's POV:

I took the box from my mom and opened it. Inside was a beautiful diamond necklace, there was a heart hanging from it and on the back it said "forever" on it. It was beautiful. I put it on and got up after my hair and makeup was done. My mom looked so beautiful. She was wear a long silver dress, it really brought out her body shape. After everyone had on their dresses, I put mines on, with the help of my girls. My mom started to tear up when they put the veil on my head. My hair was curled into a beautiful up-do. My makeup was very simple but my eyes stood out. Then I heard a knock at the door, it was my dad. His jaw drop. "My little girl." He said as he walked over to me with his arms wide open. "Where did my little girl go? You look so beautiful, Riley" I gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Thank you daddy," Then I heard music playing. It was time to walk down the aisle.

Lucas POV;

Farkle and I made our way down the aisle and took our positions. Everything looked perfect. My hands were getting sweaty. I was anxious to see Riley, then the church doors opened and the bridesmaids started walking down the aisle. I tried to take as many deep breaths as I possibly could. But then I saw an angel. Everyone stood up. Riley was finally walking down the aisle. A huge smile spread across my face, my eyes started to water but I quickly wiped away my tears. She looked so breathtaking, she gave me that cute little smile of hers. Everything stopped. It felt like we were the only two people in the room.

Riley's POV:

This was it as the doors opened and the bridesmaids took their places. It was my turn to walk down the aisle. As I walked down with my arms linked to my father, I saw Lucas standing there with the biggest smile on his face. When he wiped away his tears, I thought that was the sweetest thing in the world. All of a sudden as I walked down the aisle, I started to have flashbacks.

*FLASHBACK*

"Yeah, let's see how cool you are when you look at him" Maya said. I turned around and saw a blue eyed beauty sitting down. He immediately looked at her and smiled. I turned back to Maya and started blushing. After she went through every relationship stage with him. She took me by the wrist and pushed me. I fell onto his lap.

"Hi" I said shly. "We were just talking about you.' I said. He smiled and said "I'm Lucas"

"I love it."

*flashback to their first date*

"You know those moments you said that we were going to remember?" I asked. "Yeah"

I grabbed Lucas by the face and leaned in and we kissed. After I pulled away, he had a huge smile on his face.

*flashback over*

I finally made it to Lucas. My father gave me away. After we said our vows, the priest said "I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may now kiss the bride." Lucas smiled and said "Finally!" We shared a very sweet kiss. We didn't care who was watching. We were finally married! Lucas threw me over his shoulder carried me down the aisle.

Everyone was at the reception waiting for the newlyweds to come out. They were all sitting at the tables, enjoying the company of others.

Riley's POV:

"Ready Mrs. Friar?" Lucas asked as he stuck his hand out to me. He still had the biggest smile on his face. We were the room getting ready to make our entrance. "2 more minutes." I said. Then I wrapped my arms around his neck and gave him a kiss. He pulled me closer, then whispered in my ear. "I love you, Riley Friar." He said. I just loved the sound of that. "I love you more, Mr. Friar." I said as I ran my fingers through his hair. "Let's go." He said as I linked my arm with his.

"And now, the moment we have all been waiting for, please welcome Mr. and Mrs. Friar"

Everyone cheered and applauded. I saw my parents cheering for us. My dad was trying so hard to hold back his tears. Then I saw Maya and Farkle smiling at us. Shawn, Eric and Jack were very happy. Everyone I loved was here. Then I looked over to my right and saw a familiar face, a face I haven't seen since the semi-formal in middle school. What was he doing here? I didn't remember inviting him. We ended things on bad terms. I was wondering how did he get in? But then Lucas walked us over to our table. But I still couldn't get the guys face out of my mind. I didn't know whether I was dreaming or not. I really hope I was because he can't be here. This is my wedding day. It's supposed to be the best day of my life.
