Okay, I actually had no intentions of righting something for this fandom but somehow I stayed up until 4 AM in the morning reading National Treasure fanfictions. I am now hooked! I always liked Riley's cute quirkiness so I guess that kinda fueled the fire to right this. This is sort of my version of what would or could happen in National Treasure 3. Without further ado, here is Atlantis.

A/N: OMG! I almost forgot to give a bit of information on my OC!

Natalia DeJenes: Owner, journalist, and author. Writes columns regarding her treasure searching adventures, and travel on a popular website. Is a whiz with computers and dabbles with deciphering clues. Is the female best friend of Ben Gates. Also really good friends with Abigail. Is accompanied on her expeditions by best friend and roommate Harper Collins.

Atlantis Chapter One

"Talia! I can't believe I'm actually going to meet Riley Poole!" Harper and Jenna said excitedly as we waited in line at Barnes & Nobles for a book signing. I didn't even want to really be here, considering the rivalry and history me and Poole had together. Back in college, we had a fling. Well, it was more like a series of flings, that led to feelings and then it got really complicated, so I ended it. And then the rivalry blossomed even more in the last 15 minutes, our books both came out at pretty much the same time and my mind-blowing reception of the novel completely unhinged him. People who were in line for the signing were actually asking me to sign stuff. I kinda felt bad for stealing Riley's thunder. I'll have the chance to feel bad about it later. When it was finally our turn, I felt sick to my stomach but didn't let it show. "Natalia." He nodded to me.

"Riley." I told him dryly, refusing to look into his grey eyes directly.

"So who should I make this out to?" He asked us, taking a particular interest in me. I was about to call him out on it, when my cell phone signaling that I had a new message. I opened it, sighing with relief when I saw who it was.

Ben: Hey are we still assembling the team to meet at your place?

I quickly typed in a yes, and looked back at Riley who was signing the books. Why did he look so smug?

"Here you lovely ladies go." He said before returning the books, winking at me lightly. "Unbelievable." I muttered under my breath as I rolled my eyes at him, following Jenna out of the door. When we got into the car, Jenna started giggling while looking at me. WTH?

"Hey General Giggles, what's so funny?" I asked her from the passenger seat.

"Take a look." She replied, handing over the book.

This can't be good. On the inside of the book, was the signature of Riley and something else that made me want to strangle Poole. In black ink, the page read: Maybe we can get a coffee or something? Like old times. 346-211-5905, Call me. R-

So I pulled out my phone and decided to text him.

Natalia: Got your little message.

Riley: Did you now?

Natalia: Yeah, I did. So what exactly did I do to deserve the pleasure of you giving me your number?

Riley: Just wanted to talk. Anyways, I actually have to go, so I'll text you later!

I was just about ready to chuck my phone at the concrete as we pulled into my driveway. I smiled with a new wave of relaxation when I saw Ben and Abigail walking toward us. When we began discussing our latest discovery, out of the corner of my eye I noticed a cherry red Ferrari parked in front of my house.

I'm dead.

National Treasure- National Treasure- National Treasure- National Treasure- National Treasure-

"I can't believe your team included him!" I told them, an icy feeling of anger coursing through my veins.

"I can't believe your Greek Myths and history expert is her!" Riley spoke, clearly as irritated as me.

"Ok, you guys need to stop. You are both acting like 5 year-olds! Get it together!" Abigail yelled, surprising us all. We all turned to look at her in shock.

"Don't look at me like that. Someone needed to say it." She told us, leaning against the couch.

Ah! I typed that chapter so quick! Anyways review and tell me what you wanna see next. I really need feedback! Alright you guys, I gotta go brainstorm for more things and research for the story. So much fanfic related homework! LOL!

Byee!
