The Prologue:

"Come on Riley! Just ONE story? Puh-leassse?!" Auggie begged.

"Auggie, I don't have a lot of time. Maya is coming over and we're gonna watch Red Planet Diaries," Riley said, feeling guilty for having to say no to her little brother.

She loved spending time with him, but she had promised Maya that they were going to spend time together today.

Both of them had been rather busy with school work. Well, actually, Riley had been busy. Maya was working on her artwork for the upcoming art show.

Suddenly, there was a loud thwump and a tap at the window, announcing the presence of her best friend.

"That's Maya now," Riley exclaimed.

She ran to her bedroom window, to find more people than she had expected. Lucas and Farkle were there as well.

"Hey guys. What are you doin here?" she asked, letting them in.

"What? You don't want us here?" Farkle asked while doing his best acting routine by pretending to be offended.

"No, it's just that I was only expecting Maya..." Riley explained, glancing at Maya.

"I invited them," Maya said.

Wait. What? Maya loved Red Planet Diaries.

Riley raised an eyebrow at Maya, not understanding where this was going.

What do you have up your sleeve? She thought.

"They weren't doing anything and I figured we can watch the show some other time on the DVR. Let's do something!" Maya explained quickly.

"Alright, then, Auggie wanted me to read him a story, so..if you guys wanna wait here-"

"We could help, if you want," Lucas offered, giving Riley a soft smile.

"Okay!" Riley exclaimed, brightly.

The four of them walked back to Auggie's room.

"Why are they here?" Auggie asked.

"They are going to help me tell you some stories!" Riley explained.

"Yay! Stories!" Auggie exclaimed.

Riley sat on the edge of the bed, and opened the large book of fairy tales that was sitting next to her little brother. She didn't recall seeing this book of fairy tales on the shelf before. Its leather cover was worn from several years of use, and its gold scripting on the front cover was beginning to fade. Riley peeled back the first yellowed page and began to read aloud.

"Once upon a time, there was a young girl named Danielle, but you may know her as Cinderella..."

"Whoa, whoa, Riles," Maya interrupted.

"You aren't going to be reading. I am," she said, taking the book gently.

"What are you doing?" Riley asked.

Maya leaned over and whispered in her ear, "You have your Prince Charming over there," She nodded her head to Lucas, who was sitting beside Auggie and making him giggle. "So YOU are going to be the princess."

Riley blushed. She nodded.

Maya re-read the line, and Riley stepped through the door, and kneeled to the ground, pretending to scrub it.

"Wait, wait. Are you going to act out every story?" Auggie asked, excitement glimmering in his little five year old eyes.

"Oh, Auggie, I don't know about EVERY story, but-" Riley began.

"We can do every story," Farkle put in. "It will be fun!"

"Yeah," Lucas agreed.

Maya nodded.

"Oh, okay then..." Riley said, blushing slightly.

"Read the story!" Auggie urged as he began to bounce up and down on the bed.

"Okay, okay, gosh, Kid. Have some patience!" Maya grumbled.

Auggie eased himself back down under the covers and waited for Maya to continue.

"She lived with her two step sisters and step mother. They treated her like a slave..."

The story went on and on, with Farkle pretending to be the fairy god-mother, which he claimed could also work as a fairy god-FATHER, Riley as Cinderella, and Lucas as Prince Charming.

As the night progressed, they had read Cinderella, The Little Mermaid, Snow White, Robin Hood, Sleeping Beauty, and Rapunzel.

Every so often, Riley and Maya would switch turns being the narrator, letting the other be an actress.

When it came time to tell Rapunzel, Maya tried to keep her position as narrator. Rapunzel wasn't one of Maya's favorites. She preferred stories like Robin Hood, and she always had.

"Come on, Maya!" Farkle exclaimed. "It'll be fun, you'll see. I'll be the prince!"

Maya glared at Farkle.

"You'll do anything for my attention, won't you?"

Farkle shrugged.

"Please?" he begged, giving her pleading eyes.

Maya sighed and reluctantly agreed, and the four of them continued.

When it came time for the prince to discover Rapunzel in the tower, Farkle didn't say the lines… he sang them instead. "Rapunzel, Rapunzel let down your beautiful long hair, I promise to climb it with good, loving care."

This action took Maya by surprise. She didn't know he could sing at all!

After all these years and I'm still finding things out about you, she thought to herself.

Maya shook her head and continued on, not knowing how long she had zoned out for.

It must have been long enough because Farkle was looking at her with concern.

Once Riley announced 'the end' for Rapunzel, there was no small round of applause like there had been the previous times. The four friends looked at Auggie, and realized that he had fallen asleep.

Despite Auggie being out for the count, they continued on until they couldn't keep their eyes open any longer. One by one, they drifted off to asleep.

The first one was Riley, who unknowingly rested her head on Lucas' shoulder. When this happened, Lucas couldn't help but smile, so when his eyelids started to feel heavier, he rested his head on top of Riley's and wrapped his arm around her, 'protecting' his princess.

The next one to go was Maya. Once she closed the book, she let out a small yawn, curled up into a ball, and laid down next to Riley.

It wasn't long after Maya was asleep that Farkle found himself drifting off. He was asleep before his body found itself next to Maya's.

The room was completely quiet, except for Farkle snoring softly, "Farkle, Farkle, Farkle, Farkle..."


Riley's eyelids involuntarily winced as she felt the sun's rays brush upon her face.

She went to move her arm over her face, but felt something underneath her fingertips. As she became more aware, Riley felt her back stiffening up against the cold, stone floor. Stone floor?

Where was she?

Author's Note: So what do you think? Where could Riley be?

Please review! We luv y'all! Thanks for reading. It means so much to us all!

Hope to see ya next time! :)
