Author's note: Yes, it's a fairytale. But, it's a modern-day fairytale.
There is drama, but there's also comedy. True, there is no Central Perk, no
Baby Gellar-Green, no NYC; but Rachel is still beautiful, Chandler is still
witty, Phoebe is still talented, Joey is still a lady-killer, Monica is
still the best at everything, and Ross is still dorkingly "charming". I
know this fic sounds far-fetched, but I've always wanted to write something
like this. Please give it a chance! I'll try my best not to disappoint you!
And feedback, like always, is VERY MUCH APPRECIATED!

Once upon a time, in a place where dreams became reality, there stood two Kingdoms, both very different, both very much alike. In the Kingdom of Utopia, a land is ruled by the beloved King and Queen Green...
"I'm getting too old for this, you know," said King Green. "Well so am I, Love," answered Queen Green. "But we don't need to worry. Rachel and Barry will be married soon. Once they take over, we can retire in peace." "Yes..." agreed King Green. "Utopia will be in good hands..."
But little did they know Princess Rachel had other things in mind...
"Daddy!!" cried Princess Rachel in despair. "Daddy I DON'T love him!!" "Silence Rachel! I did not raise you to be impractical!" he roared. King Green walked onto the balcony, gazing over the Kingdom. He sighed miserably. "Come here, dear..." Rachel hastily wiped her face and went to her father. He studied her frown, regretful that he had yelled at her. He loved Rachel very much. "Unfortunately for us, we cannot afford to have our heads in the clouds. There's too much at stake. Marriage is not something we do when we fall in love, Rachel. For us, it is a business arrangement. Duke Barry is a good man. The citizens of Utopia respect him. Since you are the eldest daughter, you are expected to carry out this duty...I'm sorry..." He kissed his daughter's forehead and left her with her thoughts on the balcony.
But is Duke Barry TRULY a good man?
"Are-are you trying to seduce me, Princess?" asked the Duke nervously. Princess Jill had cornered him into a wall, her hands lingering on his chest. "What if I am?" she asked coyly. "Rachel doesn't have to know. It could be just this once...she would never even find out..."
So, she would never find out? Or would she?
"Lady Phoebe!!" called Sir Chandler, panicked. He was out of breath from having run all the way from the palace. "What's the matter Chandler? You having writer's block again?" asked Phoebe. She continued, "Oh by the way, I finished that new song for the play tomorrow night!!" "Great..." he said breathlessly. "But that's not why I'm here..." Phoebe looked at him alarmed. "Princess Rachel-" he sputtered. "Something awful has happened!!" "Oh no..."
And not too far from Utopia, lies the Kingdom of Euphoria, ruled by the beloved King and Queen Geller.
"How many more of these ridiculous parties do we have to hold?" asked King Geller. "They are not ridiculous!" defended Queen Geller. "As soon as Ross finds the perfect bride, they won't be necessary. And they're not 'parties'. They're Royal Balls." King Geller was slightly annoyed. "I'll show you some Royal Balls..."he muttered.
Marriage, however, was the last thing on Prince Ross' mind...
"Monica, have you seen my new Dragon book?" he asked his sister as he searched the library. Princess Monica was in an armchair, reading a book titled "101 Ways to be Perfect". "I don't know you weirdo. You have like 50 million of them. Go read one of those!" She didn't look up from her book. "But Joey found a baby dragon in the forest today! He rescued some famous singing lady, but the Dragon had already bitten her. That book says how to heal dragon bites!" "What?!" exclaimed Monica. "You have to be pretty stupid to get bitten by a baby Dragon! They can't run, see or breathe fire yet!" "Yeah well, apparently she was making fun of it or something..." He paused to remember. "I think she called it 'smelly'..."
And what fairytale would be complete without the presence of a valiant Knight?
"Take that you fiend!" Sir Joseph swung his sword in the air and struck it forward. He dropped the sword at his side and bent down to pick up the sandwich he had just sliced.
However harmonious the Kingdoms were, the Geller and Green Monarchy had no idea of the evil plotting that took place deep in the forest...
"Princess Rachel will be mine! And, if I can't have her, NOBODY CAN!" screamed the Evil Sorcerer Mark. "But, how can she be yours when she's in love with Prince Ross?" asked the air-headed Wicked Witch Chloe. Mark grinned eerily. "That's where you come in my dear..."
Within these two honorable Kingdoms, a bond is created between two star- crossed lovers, whose affection for each other will be tested, time and time again. In the end, will true love prove to be timeless? Here, our story begins...
