Hey everyone! So I know I am in the middle of writing Forget me Not, Side by Side and Secrets in Hand but I thought I might be a bit crazy and start writing yet another multi chapter Riarkle fanfic. I have lot's of ideas for this story but I always love it when you guys put forward your ideas. If you have any, I am totally open.
So this is kind of a old fashioned type plot but with some modern ideas. Mainly the characters. So I will try and keep true to the characters traits and all that.
Please review and let me what you think!
Disclaimer: I do not own Girl Meets World or the characters. Just the plot line.
"Excuse me, your highness but am I able to come in and fix the bed for you?" A soft call sounded out from behind the large doors.
Riley looked up from the book she was reading and gracefully hopped off the bay window seat she was sitting on.
"Come on in Maya!" She called with a large beam and in entered her best friend and top maid.
Maya's mother helped out in the kitchens and lived inside the palace so two girls grew up together, regardless of their status in society. Her blonde friend was a spunky fireball who always got in trouble with the adults surrounding her. Her mother always wanted to be an actress but couldn't find the money to join the local performing arts academy Riley's father had built many years ago. But the palace staff always put on an end of year performance and Katie always got the leading role. Centre stage was her home she often said.
Maya walked into the room before jumping onto the bed with a mighty thud. Riley chuckled and did a short sprint before joining her on the bed also.
Maya grinned with a strange gleam in her eyes and raised her hand up in the air, pillow in her grasp and Riley raised an eyebrow before grabbing a pillow of her own for self-defence. And that was how the Great Battle of the Pillows #762 began.
A good solid 30 minutes later and two panting girls later, a knock at the door made them pause and lift their heads towards the door.
Riley cleared her throat before speaking.
"Come in" She said while standing from the bed and walking over closer to the door, with
Maya scampering off the bed and quickly making it up.
Charlie came in and bowed before speaking directly to Riley.
"Your highness, his majesty requires you in the throne immediately." He bowed once again before retreating behind the door and closing it gently behind him. Riley looked over to Maya confused her just grimaced and led her towards the dressing table. The brunette sat down and looked at herself in the mirror with her head crooked to the side in thought. Her best friend worked around her, braiding her hair, twisting it and pulling it back.
Riley Matthews is what she saw but she knew very many people saw her just as that title and not others that came along with her. To her father she was his daughter, heir and then Riley. When she was born her father quickly changed the laws so that if he had any more children and they happened to be boys, she would not lose her entitlement to the throne. A few years later, August was born. He was commonly known to everyone as Auggie and he was always very proud showing off how old he was.
Maya lightly dusted her face with powder before patting her head gently, offering a small amount of comfort to her. Riley smiled at her in the mirror before standing. She pulled at the hem of her dress before confidently raising her head to leave.
When she reached the throne room, Riley saw her mother and father waiting for her. She stood in front of them before curtsying elegantly. When she raised her head she saw her mother beaming at her but her eyes held a strange emotion. Something she had not seen in Topanga's eyes before.
"Riley, as you know you are now coming to the age of 15, we need to start thinking about your future and this kingdoms future. As you also know, I have been trying to bring together the two kingdoms that have been fighting for many years. Now King Stuart and I have come up with a plan as we are both sick of war. We only hope that you will help us with this." Her father said and Riley shook her head quickly, prepared to do anything for her parents.
"We are holding a ball in honour of your birthday and have invited both kingdoms in the attempts to make friends with some of the people." Her mother added in with a gleam in her eyes at the thought of hosting a ball.
"Now here is something I want you to do, can you please become friends with King Stuart's son? His name is Farkle and I think you two will get on quite nicely…." Her mother continued to speak but Riley didn't listen to the rest. Her mind was reeling with this information.
Surely my parents don't want me to be just friends with him. I can see it in their eyes, there is more to the story than they were letting on she thought.
Her parents soon dismissed her and she walked back to her room to talk to Maya. When she reached the doors of her chambers she stopped to notice the delicate craving into the wood and how it started from one end to the other. Not breaking the pattern.
She pushed down on the handle and walked in to see Maya surrounded by fabric and holding a bunch of safety pins while Katie was bustling around with tape measure thrown around her neck in haste.
"Riley! There you are, come on over. We need to get started on this dress if we want it ready for next week. I would say to any other person 'we are going to make you look beautiful' but since you naturally do anyway, I will just try and enhance that." Katy said this with a wide smile and beckoned her over with a hand wave.
Katy and Maya were as close to family as they could possibly get. She always went to them if she had problem as her parents were busy most of the time running the show. But she was always included with these two and they didn't care about the crown that was placed on her head.
As she talked to Maya about dress designs she thought back to what her parents said and told Katy she wanted to make a statement with her dress. That she was more than just the glitters of jewellery and tiaras.
