Hey guys! So, this is a new Riarkle story I came up with and it's based off of KaeCover's Promises of her Parents. It has very slight Lucaya in it, though we might get more into that more as the story goes on. This is AU and it's a modern time fairy tale, so Riley's a princess, Maya is a princess/village girl and Lucas and Farkle are brothers/princes, okay? *laughs* Weird, right? But it'll make sense, I promise.

Also, since Lucas and Farkle are brothers, their last names are both Friar, okay? I'm sorry, but it was either that or Lucas' name would be Lucas Minkus and that just made me burst out laughing (and cringe). Zay will not be in this Fanfiction and neither will Smackle (though I might use her as part of Riarkle's story. If not, she'll fit in with Lucas somehow).

Now that that's all settled, go ahead and enjoy the story!

"Mom, I don't understand," Princess Riley stated as she crossed her arms. She was clearly upset. "Why do I have to do this? I'm only sixteen!"

"Yes, but this is for the good of our countries, Riley." Queen Topanga replied, keeping herself calm, "Besides, Lucas is almost of age to rule his father's kingdom and he needs a partner by his side in order to do so. Wouldn't you like to rule a kingdom someday?"

"Yes, but not with somebody I don't love." Riley argued back. She and her mother were in the throne room, arguing over the fact that she and her father had planned to set her up with one of the princes from the neighbouring kingdom, Everwood, without her knowledge. "You're supposed to be with somebody you love when such a thing like this is to come. Isn't that why you're with Dad?"

"Certainly," the Queen responded, "But, Riley, this is for the good of our kingdoms—"

"But what good will it do at the expense of my own happiness?" The brunette girl questioned, tears forming in her eyes. "Mother, I don't want to marry somebody who I don't love."

Queen Topanga sighed, tired and a bit annoyed. "Please, Riley," she pleaded, "Before you even think about refusing this, will you please just go over to Everwood and meet the boy? I've met him many times before, and he's very sweet. You know I wouldn't set you up with him if I didn't think this wasn't a good idea."

Riley sighed and shook her head. "Half an hour," she demanded, "I spend half an hour with him, someplace where it's bright and cheerful and that's it. No longer, nothing else. I get to pick out what I wear and I don't have to do anything I don't want to."

"But, Riley—"

"No, Mother. That's my deal."

Topanga looked at her daughter before rolling her eyes. "Alright then," She agreed, "That's your deal. I'll call King Stuart and Queen Annabella and let them know you will be spending time with their son. I'll get someone to escort you down once it's time to get going."

Riley nodded, a small smile on her face. "Thank you, Mother." She had then turned on her heels and left, going up to her room as she did so. As soon as she stepped inside, she saw Maya sitting on her bed, fixing her lipstick in her small compact mirror. The blonde smiled at her brunette friend and gestured to the seat across from her.

"How'd it go?" She asked, curiously. She was the one who pushed Riley to tell her opinion on the entire situation, so it was only fair she knew what was going on. "What did Lady Topie say?"

Riley rolled her eyes and shook her head. "Maya, you can't call my mom that to her face."

"So? She's not here! Now, come on! Tell me what happened!"

Riley smiled. "It…actually went kind of well," she spoke, "I agreed to meet this Lucas boy, but only if it was for half an hour and in a bright and cheerful place. I also told her that if I was to meet the kid, I should be allowed to wear what I want."

Maya smiled, proud at her friend. "She agreed?"

"She did," The brunette girl stated, "And she told me she'd send someone to escort me once it was time to get going, so we have exactly forty minutes to get myself ready."

Maya's smile grew wider. "You want my fashion advice, don't you?"

"Of course!" The brunette squealed. She had then threw open her closet and took out several hangers and boxes. "Do your job, wizard!"

Maya waved her finger playfully before turning to the closet. "I'm a princess, not a wizard."

"Yet you're also somewhat of a village girl. Quite an interesting combination, don't you think?"

Maya pulled out some hangers as she spoke. "I guess so," She agreed, shrugging, "But, my mom doesn't make much money so we can't exactly have a huge palace like yours. I mean, we may live here, but you guys rule the place."

"I'm not saying you should have a huge castle like mine, Maya. I think it's nice that you're who you are. It's interesting and different."

Maya smiled as she paired a dark blue sleeveless dress with black tights and chunky black heels. "Thanks, Riles." She had then stepped aside and gestured towards the outfit. "What do you think?"

Riley bit her lip and shook her head. "Nu-uh. That's too wild. I want something that says 'fierce,' but also something that says 'soft and sweet.'"

Maya chuckled as as she took out a green leather jacket with a floral print dress. She had then added a pair of brown combat boots to the combination, along with a pair of black tights. "Alright, this is what I got," the blonde announced as she gestured, once again, towards the outfit, "You like?"

Riley grinned. "I love it!" She squealed, happily. She had then quickly changed in the washroom and came out a minute later, dressed in the outfit Maya styled for her. "Aah!" She yelled, excitedly, "I love it!" Her face had then fallen and she sighed. "But what about my hair?"

Maya smiled and picked up a hair straightener from the nearby makeup desk. "Don't worry about it, Hun," she replied, "I got a plan."

"Riley!" Topanga called as she peeked her head in her daughter's room, "Riley, darling, are you ready yet? It's almost time to go and Charlie is waiting for you!"

"Right here, Mom." The brown haired princess replied. She stepped out of the bathroom and twirled around, happy with her appearance. "How do I look?"

Topanga smiled at her daughter. Her chocolate brown hair was straightened, as she wore her Maya-styled outfit and her eyes twinkled with happiness. "You look lovely, dear," She complimented, "Do you have your phone and book?"

Riley nodded. She always brought a book whenever she went somewhere, since there was always a slight possibility she'd get bored. She was currently reading Coffeehouse Angel, a book about a girl who, due to a small act of kindness, receives three wishes from an angel. It was a fascinating read, really, and she was already halfway through the book, despite the fact she got it nearly two days ago.

"Yep," the princess answered as she grabbed her brown leather purse from off her multi coloured bed. She waved goodbye to her best friend before leaving and had then hopped into her family's small red Ferrari. Her last thought before the car drove off was, 'Well, this should be fun.'

The car came to a stop forty five minutes later and Riley made Charlie park around the palace corner, as to not draw attention to herself. She let her escort take her hand and guide her to the entrance of he castle, where a boy, around seventeen, with golden brown hair and sparkling green eyes, was waiting for her patiently.

"Hello," He said as soon as he saw the girl come into view, "You must be Princess Riley from Arizonica, I presume."

"And you must be Lucas…" The brunette suddenly paused, realizing she didn't know his last name.

"Friar," he supplied helpfully, "It is very nice to meet you, Miss Riley." He had then gently grabbed her hand and kissed her wrist. "I have heard many wonderful things about you and am glad to finally make your acquaintance."

Riley softly pulled her hand back and smiled politely. "I can say the same for you, Lucas," she replied, "And you can just call me Riley. It's not a big deal."

Lucas smiled back, his eyes shining in the palace light. "Of course," he agreed, "Then you may call me Lucas, if you wish. All of my friends do."

The two had then stared at each other in silence, until Charlie spoke up. "Well, then," he announced, "I better get going. Miss Riley, I shall come to pick you up as soon as you notify me to do so. Have a great day. It was nice meeting you, Mr. Friar."

"Nice meeting you too, Charlie. And don't worry, I promise to take excellent care of Riley here."

"Fantastic." The brown hair chauffeur had then turned on his heels and left, leaving the two of them alone.

"So," Riley said after a few moments of silence, "What were you planning to do today, Lucas?"

The brown haired boy grinned and gestured inside the royal palace. "I was hoping to show you around the castle, Riley, and perhaps take you to see the gardens. Would that be alright?"

Riley smiled and nodded. "Of course, Lucas."

"Great." The green eyed boy had then grabbed the brown haired princess's hand and lead her around the different areas of his palace.

Time passed quickly and within twenty minutes, Riley had seen the game room, the throne room, the dining room, the library, Lucas' room and the horsing stables. She found it all quite magnificent, though most of the rooms within her own castle were somewhat similar.

Lucas was just showing her the living room when they were interrupted by a gorgeous curly haired blonde marching in. "Where is he?!" She growled, "Where is he?!"

Riley took a step back, slightly frightened by the girl, and Lucas took a step forward to protect her, though he seemed to know what the girl was talking about. "Madison, I am very, truly sorry for whatever he's done this time, and I apologize, but I do not know where he is—"

"Liar!" She screamed. She had then spun on her heels and raced up the stairs angrily. "Come on!" She yelled from upstairs, "Where'd you go?! Show yourself, you coward!"

"Uh, Lucas?" The brunette boy turned around to face the princess. "Should I be worried?"

"Huh? Oh, oh, no," Lucas assured her, "This isn't something of my doing, Riley, I can promise you that. You see, my younger brother…He's a bit of a—"

"Aha! Found you!"

Lucas and Riley both jumped at the sound of Madison's scream. The former, worried of what was happening, raced upstairs, with the latter right behind him. The green eyed boy stopped at a room and pressed his ear against the door, listening closely.

"Lucas?" The girl asked, confused, "What's—"

"Shh."

"What the—"

"Riley, I apologize if I come off as rude right now, but I need you to be quiet, alright?"

Riley nodded. "Okay," she whispered and she too pressed her head against the door. As soon as she did so, she could hear screaming from the inside, and from what she could tell, it wasn't good.

"You! Do you know what you did?! You broke her heart!"

"Madison, Madison, Madison. Listen, I only did what I did because—" Riley had then pulled away from the door, a confused look on that face. She had then pressed her head against the door once more and listened in again. "Honestly, she should've expected it. It's not my fault she's a—"

"Idiot!" She heard. Riley immediately recognized the voice as Madison's, despite the fact she heard it just two minutes ago. "You are such an idiot and you should've never been born into a family with such high ranking! You don't deserve it after all you've done and I hope they give it to someone who does, because that someone is definitely not you!"

"Wait, Madison, what are you doing? No, no, don't use that! Madison!"

At that moment, Lucas swung the door open, making Riley fall to the ground. She sat up, only to notice another brunette in the room—this one, he had blue eyes—and the same blonde girl she saw earlier.

Lucas immediately put himself between the two, standing in front of the other boy. "Madison," He said calmly, "Madison, put the lamp down—"

"Why should I?! I have good reason!"

"Um, excuse me," Riley interrupted as she sat up, "But I don't think whatever happened between you two is a good reason to hurt, or rather, kill, someone."

"Nobody asked you!" The blue eyed boy shouted.

"Yeah! Stay out of this!" The blonde yelled in agreement.

Riley shrugged and laid back down on the floor, her hands covering her head in case something went flying across the room. "Sorry," she apologized, "Just trying to help."

"Madison," Lucas repeated, standing his ground, "Look, I don't know what happened, but—"

"He broke my best friend's heart! They were dating for a week when she saw him flirting with and kissing somebody else, and then he just straight out lied to her!"

"To be fair," the blue eyed boy cut in, "She should've expected it. I mean, it was never gonna last long. It's common sense, really."

"Argh!" Madison had then thrown the lamp with great force, making shatter against the wall nearby the bed, luckily missing the three teens.

"No!" Riley shrieked, "This is not happening!"

"Security!" Lucas shouted loudly, "We need help here! Security!"

Madison had then grabbed book nearby and threw it towards the blue eyed teen. It hit his foot, making him fall backwards and stumble in the process, while trying to catch himself on the brown wooden desk nearby. He clutched his wrist and bit his lip to keep himself from crying out in pain.

At that moment, five guards from outside ran into the room. One of them helped Riley up while two of them took Madison outside, and the last two began putting everything back in its original place, slightly tidying the area up.

"Thank you," Riley said, smiling.

"Of course. It's no problem at all, Miss Riley," the guard had then spun on his heels and left the room, with the other two guards following him, leaving the three teens alone.

"Riley, are you okay?" Lucas asked as he went up to the girl and hugged her tight.

"I'm fine," the brunette answered, quietly.

"Oh my gosh, Riley, I am so sorry. I had no clue this would happen and—"

"It's okay, Lucas. Really."

Lucas smiled, happy his chance with the princess didn't get ruined. He had then turned to the other teen, who was still on the ground, clutching his wrist, and knelt down beside him. "Dude, you okay?" He questioned, concerned and a bit worried.

"Yeah." The teen had then put his injured wrist on the desk and began to pull himself up, only for pain to shoot through his arm, making him fall back down. He had then shut his eyes in pain and winced. "Nope."

Lucas sighed and shook his head before turning back to Riley with a sad look on his face. "Sorry, Riley, but I'm gonna have to cut our meeting short and help out my brother. I'll explain everything to your parents so you won't have to, and I am very sorry for what happened here. This was not how I planned our first meeting to go."

Riley smiled and hugged the boy. "It's alright, Lucas. I still had a wonderful time visiting and I don't blame you for what happened." She had then grabbed her purse from the ground before waving goodbye to the the green eyed Prince. "Goodbye, Lucas," She had then paused and realized she didn't know the other boy's name. "Goodbye…"

"Farkle," the boy supplied helpfully from his spot on the ground, "My name is Farkle."

Riley giggled and Farkle instantly turned his head to glare at her. He narrowed his eyes at her suspiciously and she averted her eyes to the ground before saying another quick goodbye and leaving the room. That definitely wasn't how she expected her little trip to go.

And done! Did you guys like it? I have to admit, I had a lot fun writing this chapter (especially the scene between Riley, Farkle, Lucas and Madison [who is portrayed by AnnaSophia Robb] XD).

So, as said before, Lucas and Farkle are brothers (Lucas is seventeen, a year older than Riley, Farkle is sixteen, the same age as Riley), who are complete opposites. Lucas is the nice, sweet, generous prince and heir to the throne while Farkle is the bad boy prince who doesn't care about anything. He's also the spare to the throne/kingdom (meaning if Lucas somehow dies [doubt that, but you never know], Farkle will be the one to rule the kingdom). Okay, good? *nods* Good!

Oh, and Coffeehouse Angel is an actual book. I read it this year during school and although I wasn't all that interested in it at first, it has a very unique story. I suggest you read it if you like romance, friendship, drama and, well, unique stories.

But back to this story. The second chapter has already been written and I will post it ASAP. I hope you all enjoyed this chapter and please, let me know what you think in the reviews! :)
