Hey ya'll!

So this is my first GMW fanfic... and i don't think I've ever been even the slightest bit nervous about posting a fic, but I kinda am this time... I don't know why though. So here's a Riley/Charlie one-shot... cause I'm kinda obsessed with them. Even though I was an originally a Rucas shipper, and I still kind of am... I ABSOLUTELY LOVE RIARLIE. Like they could be so cute! But anyways, I might continue this... I might keep it as just one one-shot, I haven't decided.

Imagine your OTP in your a clothing store of any kind and trying to pick out outfits for each other. Bonus points if it turns into jokes and finding the most ridiculous outfits for each other possible.

Of Feathered Dresses and Striped Fedoras

"Riley, this what not what I thought you had in mind when you said you had an idea for date night…." Charlie Gardner told his girlfriend uneasily as she drug him across the parking lot of the small thrift store she had directed him to.

"Oh, don't be such a downer, Charlie! It'll be fun and you know it." Riley told him as she pulled him along behind him.

As he let her tug him along, Charlie thought back to how he'd gotten into this adventure.

That afternoon, while Charlie leaned against her locker, Riley came skipping around the corner, duffle bag swinging by her side and her once high pony falling slightly, her eyes brightening at the sight of her boyfriend waiting for her, to go to either the movies or to Topanga's for desserts and hot chocolate depending on how her practice went, as though it was a surprise (This had been part of their routine for almost a year now).

"So, how did today go? Any more bruises?" Charlie questioned, slipping her duffle bag off her shoulder and on to his.

Everyone knew that even though it had been a few years since middle school, Riley was still a super- klutz. When she made the cheerleading team that fall, everyone was surprised. He was second to Maya (Who Riley had tackled in the process of giving her the good news) in finding out she'd finally (She'd tried out every year since seventh grade, determined to be on the team.) made the squad. His grin widen times five in size, and he'd picked her up and spun her in a circle before kissing her forehead and congratulating her.

"It wasn't that bad today." When she saw the look Charlie gave her, one that told her he didn't believe her, she corrected herself. "Only a little, teeny, tiny bit bad." He raised his eyebrows at her again. "Okay, it wasn't movies or Topanga's bad… It was 'Riley gets to choose something new for date night' bad…"

"Riles… You've got to be more careful, you're going to really get hurt one day." He chided her, wrapping his arm around her shoulder and walking her towards the entrance to the school.

"I know… I know… It's just really hard sometimes… I am a super- klutz, after all." She joked.

"Well, you're my super- klutz. What did you have in mind?"

Charlie didn't realize his seemingly innocent question would result in one of the best afternoons he'd had in a long time.

"Are you sure this is what you want to do for date night, Riles?" Charlie whined once more.

"Absolutely, positively sure. It'll be fun and you know it… You just don't want to admit you could be wrong." She paused in her hunt for clothes on the racks and tables that surrounded them.

"Okayyyyy…" As Charlie agreed sarcastically, he leaned against the nearest wall and watched his girlfriend as she moved quickly back and forth around the store.

Riley noticed a suit jacket hanging towards the back of the shop, picking it up and throwing it on top of the pile of clothes hanging over her arm, laughing to herself as she flipped the pile over to her other arm and handing the pile to Charlie, how rose his eyebrows at her.

"Go try those on!" He gave her a look. "Pleaseeeee, Charlie?"

"No way, not happening… Sweets, can't we just go to the movies?"

"But Charlie! You said we could do anything I wanted to! And I fell really hard today!"

"Fine, fine, fine… I'll be right out."

"YYYYAAAAAYYYY!"

"You've got to be kidding me, Riles…" Charlie grumbled as he walked out of the dressing room.

"Come on! It looks great on you!" Riley assured him, laughing.

The jacket Riley had handed him was brightly colored, and had multiple patterns on it and looked as though it had been a child's first sewing project. Charlie shook his head and scowled at the pretty brunette sitting in front of him. She was bent in half, laughing loudly as she watched her boyfriend stand in front of her. Even though he had to look ridiculous, Riley's lifted mood was worth it. Making Riley happy… truly happy, was his favorite thing in the world and it made him happy to be the one who made her laugh so hard her sides hurt and tears ran down her face.

"Hilarious, Riley, Hilarious. Okay… are you actually going to buy anything? Or are you just going to make me try on ridiculous clothes?"

"Why are you being such a downer?"

"Well, if you're going to keep this up… Go try on that dress." Charlie dared her, pointing to his left.

The dress was a bright green- blue hue and was pretty over the top. The top was modest and had silver jewels on the trim and waistline and as Riley looked closer, had some sort of pink splatter (stain, Riley later corrected)- over it… but the skirt… one look made Riley cringe. It was fluffy and looked as though it had feathers. The silver jewels from the top were scattered in a way that more jewels accumulated the further down the dress you looked. Though Riley thought the dress was hideous… She had to try it on. Otherwise the game would be over and Charlie would win.

"Okay." Riley accepted her boyfriend's challenge with a determined look in her eyes.

"Really?"

"Yupp… Why not? It'll be fun." Riley explained, looking around the formal wear section they were currently standing in. "Here, go put this on."

Charlie chuckled at the tux, which he was pretty sure was supposed to match the dress, which Riley had handed him. She then added bright, neon pink and green striped tie and matching fedora to the pile she'd handed him. The two smiled and snickered as they went into the dressing rooms to change.

"Ready?" Charlie's voice floated over the wall that stood between him and his girlfriend.

"Ready."

The two teens, in their outrageous attire, exited the dressing rooms, eyes closed. After deciding they were standing facing each other, they counted down.

"One…" started Riley, giggling uncontrollably, which cause Charlie to grin at the sound.

"Two…" He followed, starting to laugh as well.

"THREE!" They finished together, opening their eyes.

At first they were both speechless as they stood and stared at the other. Both outfits were completely ridiculous. After a few moments of being shell-shocked, Riley began to giggle once more.

"You… you- look so…. You look- so… funny!" She breathed between laughs.

"Well, so do you, sweets… this is definitely is not a flattering color on me…" He told her, hoping she'd continue to laugh- she did.

"Hey! You got yourself into this mess! If you hadn't made me try on this dress, I wouldn't have made you try on that suit." Riley accused him. "The hat is kinda cute though…"

"You think so?" Riley nodded. By the skirt of the dress, Charlie pulled her towards him. "I might just have to get it then."

"You should." Riley agreed, her tone full of confidence. "It looks great… though the rest kinda, sorta hurts my eyes…"

Charlie threw his head back and laughed. "You should look at yourself… Those jewels are insane."

"They're heavy too."

"Well... Heavy jewels or not, You're Beautiful." He flirted, knowing she didn't hear things like that very often.

"And you look very handsome."

"Well, what now?" Charlie hoped he'd satisfied his girl's need to embarrass him, but she had other plans.

"We should try on more!" Riley exclaimed, picking up the front of her skirt and rushing through the racks to find more clothes.

Charlie laughed once more and shook his head.

"Riley Matthews, you as a handful… I'll tell you that."

But he smiled and played along as Riley has him do silly poses with her while one of the store employees to pictures of them in the most ridiculous outfits they could find.

A week later, while she was curled up beside Charlie on one of the couches in the corner of Topanga's, Riley scrolled through her Instagram, before noticing a notification.

Charlie_gardner09 added a photo of you.

She clicked the notification, laughing softly as she saw the picture of them in the matching tux and dress (Riley had jumped on his back and kissed his cheek, right before the photo was taken.) from their date night the week before.

#flashbackfriday and #womencrusheveryday in one. Thanks for the best date ever. I love you, Sweets.

"What are you giggling about now?" Charlie asked her, squeezing her sides softly.

"I love you, too." Was all Riley told him and he knew exactly what she was giggling about.

And for the next two and a half or so months, Charlie posted one of the pictures from that day on social media.

But the picture of them in the dress and tux, she on his back with her lips against his cheek and him, with his ginormous smile evidence of the true laughter that had erupted from him, remained on his lock screen for a whole lot longer.
