Riarkle fluff. This is a one shot so it will not be continued (unless I come up with an idea to continue). Thanks for reading. Read and review.
"I am so excited," Riley said.
"I know, Peaches." Maya said; exasperated. (She had heard this about 5 times in the last 10 minutes).
"I am getting married tomorrow!"
"I know that, too."
"It feels like just yesterday Farkle proposed. I am so excited!"
"Okay. Anyways, you are sleeping over my place tonight, right?"
"Of course. Farkle can't see me on our wedding day or else our marriage won't work and I am only getting married once."
"Riles, that stuff about bad luck on weddings is a load of bull crap."
"It needs to be perfect. He is going to be my prince. He is the only one who can calm my wedding stress. Do you think you could text him and ask if he would call me?"
Maya knew Farkle was just across the hall in Lucas's room, but Riley didn't need to know that. "Of course."
Maya texted him and Farkle called Riley.
After she talked to him, he asked to speak with Maya.
"Hey, what do you want?" Maya asked him when she was handed the phone.
"Lucas lost the rings," he said sounding panicked.
"What?"
"Lucas lo-"
"Don't say it again!"
"What?" Riley asked. "Did something happen?"
"No, Sweetie."
Maya walked into her room.
"Where is Lucas right now?"
"At his apartment."
"I am going to talk to him."
"Just...help him, please."
"I'll do what I can."
"Bye, Maya."
"Bye."
Maya walked out of her room to see Riley waiting expectantly.
"What happened?" She asked.
"Farkle was overthinking the wedding. I told him it would go smoothly, and I think I convinced him."
Riley smiled. "He's nervous. That's so cute.
"Yeah, well, I have to speak with Lucas and make sure he has everything he needs for tomorrow. Can't have an unprepared Best Man."
"Okay."
Maya walked across the hall to Lucas's apartment.
As soon as she knocked he opened the door.
He was a mess. His hair was all tousled and he was wearing his pajamas, but Maya could tell he hadn't been asleep because of the alertness in his eyes.
"What is wrong with you?" Maya asked.
"I need your help," he said and pulled her inside. "I lost-"
"I know you lost the rings. That's why I'm here."
"Can you help me?"
"Where is Farkle?"
"In the guest room freaking out. I convinced him to go to bed and let me worry about the rings."
She looked over to the small table next to his couch. On it sat a small case with a velvet outside.
"Is that it?" She asked. If that box had the rings she would kill Lucas for making her freak out.
He walked over there and opened the box. Inside lay 2 gold bands.
"Seriously?" Maya asked.
"Sorry."
"Can you imagine what Riley would have done if she found out? You would be dead."
"You didn't tell her, right?"
"I was not planning on telling her until after j came over here."
"Thank God."
"I have to go and watch over Riley. Good night."
"See you at the wedding."
Maya walked out and closed the door behind her. 'That could have been so bad,' she thought as she walked across the hall and into her apartment.
"You look stressed," Riley said. "What happened?"
"Lucas may or may not have lost the wedding rings."
"What?!"
"Don't worry, I found them. You should go to bed! You have a big day tomorrow!"
"Yeah, I guess."
Riley stood up and disappeared on the doorway to Maya's guest bedroom.
Maya slumped into her couch. "Tomorrow is going to be a long day," she muttered to herself.
The next day came and it started with Riley yelling for Maya at 6 am.
"Maya! Maya! I am freaking out!"
"Coming, Riles!" Maya shouted back.
She walked into Riley's room to see tears pouring down Riley's face.
"What's wrong?" Maya asked.
"So many things could go wrong with the wedding!" Riley said, "Lucas could loose the rings again! I could trip on my way down the isle! Farkle could decide he didn't want to marry me! I could die! A bomb-"
"Riley!" Maya said. "A bomb will not drop on you While you are getting married!"
"Yeah, but all the other things could happen!"
"Lucas will not loose the rings again because I already saw him put them in his jacket pocket for the wedding. Your mother will not let you trip while walking down the isle. Farkle-"
"How do you know he won't leave me?"
"Because he won't!"
"Prove it."
"Alright, stay here."
Maya stood up and walked across the hall.
She knocked and Lucas answered the door again.
"Where's Farkle?" Maya asked immediately. She let herself inside before Lucas could even step out of the doorway.
"Good morning to you, too."
"Where is he?"
"Over there," Lucas said and pointed to a closed bedroom door.
Maya knocked and went into the bedroom without waiting for a response.
Farkle stood in front of a mirror and was staring at his reflection. When Maya walked in he looked at her reflection in the mirror.
"Hi," he said.
"I need you for something."
"What happened now?"
"Riley's freaking out. She thinks your going to call of the wedding and dump her."
"I can talk to her."
"No! The weird bad luck thing. You can't see Riley until the wedding! She is very serious about that!"
"Alright," he said and handed her a tie from out of his suitcase. "Put this around her eyes and tell her to meet me out in the hallway."
Maya took the tie and left.
She walked back into Riley's room to find her still sitting on her bed. Now she was staring forlornly at her wedding dress.
"I am just going to tie this around your head, then we will sort this all out, okay?"
"Why?"
"You'll see."
Riley still looked suspicious, but she let Maya put it over her eyes.
She helped Riley stand up and brought her out in the hallway.
"How is this going to help me?"
"You told me only one person could help you get rid of your stress over the wedding."
"Yeah, but Farkle can't see me. I told you the luck thing was important to me."
"Don't worry."
Maya knocked softly on the door and Farkle walked out also blindfolded. He was being supported by Lucas.
"Riley." Farkle said. He stood perfectly even with her so Maya had no idea how he knew she was the one standing there. "Are you okay?"
"No."
"Come here."
He hugged her. "I am in no way calling off the wedding. Do you know how long I have waited to marry you? I was ready by first grade."
"So, when I walk down the isle later, you'll be waiting down the end?"
"Of course."
"Promise?"
"Promise."
Riley smiled. "I better go. Maya has to do my make up."
"Come on, Riles," Maya said and grabbed her arm to take her back into Maya's apartment.
"You all better now?" Maya asked.
"Yeah, as long as I don't die, for now I am good."
"Okay, now let's get you looking like a unicorn threw up in you."
"Is that a good thing?" Riley asked as Maya dragged her into the bathroom.
"Yes."
It was passed noon and the only thing left to do was get Riley to the chapel she was getting married at, put on her dress, and actually get married.
"You ready?" Maya asked.
"I think so."
"I'll take that as a good thing."
When they arrived at the chapel, Maya took Riley and her dress to the dressing rooms.
When Riley came out in her dress all Maya could do was smile. Riley was finally going to be a princess (even if it just going to be for a day). She will walk out in her white dress and everyone will look at her. She will be the most beautiful girl in the room and all the adults will remise their own wedding days.
"What do you think?" Riley asked.
"I think you need to be walking down the isle in 5 minutes."
"Okay, I can do this."
Farkle was less sure if himself.
"Lucas, my parents always fought! My mother would throw her wedding ring at my father all the time! What if the same thing happens to me! I can't have Riley ever considering a devorse. Right now it's easy, but now we are starting our lives together. What if we aren't that marriage that makes it?"
"This is Riley. You could decide to move to west Africa and she would follow you! She told me she was only marrying once and if she chose you out of all the men in the world, she chose you. That means she's prepared to face the consequences of her decision. Now, you are on right now!"
Lucas grabbed Farkle's arm and dragged him up the podium. Then Lucas left because he had to walk with Maya down the isle since she was the Maid of Honor. Everyone was already sitting in their seats. They all looked down the isle expectantly. The organ started to play a song. The Bride's Maids, Groom's men, Maya and Lucas came down first. Then, 'Here Comes the Bride started and Riley walked down with her father. Her face was covered by a veil, but Farkle could feel her eyes on him.
She reached the podium and let go of her father's arm. Mr. Matthews looked down. He couldn't believe his daughter was getting married. Farkle held Riley's hands.
"Dearly beloved," the Said. "We are here today to witness the wedding of Farkle Minkus and Riley Matthews. Do you, Riley, promise to love and cherish Farkle in sickness and in health until death parts you?"
"I do."
"Do you, Farkle, promise to love and cherish Riley in sickness and in health until death parts you?"
"I..." Farkle hesitated, but remembered what Lucas had told him: she chose you out of all the men in the world. "I do."
After that everything went smoothly.
They read there vows (Farkle's resembled an essay while Riley's was very heartfelt).
They exchanged wedding rings. (Lucas was secretly congratulating himself because he actually got the rings to the wedding).
They were announced as husband and wife and the couple shares their first kiss as husband and wife.
After the wedding, Maya and Mr. Matthews got emotional because she had to give Riley away.
"I love you," Farkle told Riley during their first dance.
"I love you more."
"I love you most."
