"we're a fancy, rich couple and we're looking to buy some art. got it?" riley looked at farkle assuringly.

farkle sighed. "why are we doing this again?"

"maya told me to do it! we've got to help her promote her artwork!"

"fine." farkle sighed.

"now, come on. we're future mr. and mrs. minkus." riley giggled.

farkle and riley froze as soon as the words left her mouth. they turned to each other perfectly in sync and laughed nervously.

riley was about to make up some dumb excuse but zay cut her off with his yelling. "MAYA WANTS US TO MEET UP WITH HER BEFORE THE GALLERY STARTS. HURRY UP, YOU WEIRDOS!"

riley and farkle, both still extremely flustered, rushed inside the building.

they were met with the other four of the gang hovered around a mini table. once, they reached their friends, maya spoke.

"okay, gang! we're all going to play different people today to promote my artwork, as you probably know. huckleberry, you're not lucas friar! you're my loving boyfriend who is going to charm the buyers into buying my art."

lucas rolled his eyes with a grin on his face and maya continued. "riley and farkle! you guys are the same people except you're dating. pretty boy over here is rich and well known so him putting in a good word is enough. and riley, when i say you're dating, i mean it. you don't have to kiss each other or do anything out of your comfort zone, just act in love."

riley and farkle gulped. "zay! you're my best friend that inspired me to start art and isadora, you're the girl he has a crush on but you're just friends. these buyers are gonna love your sappy lovefest."

"all we have to do is be riley and farkle." zay whispered loud enough for smackle, maya and farkle to hear. 

maya and smackle nodded at zay and farkle shot him a death glare.

"your characters have never met each other, except for the couples. the only thing you guys have in common is my amazing art."

maya looked around nervously as people were starting to arrive. "now, scram!"

riley put her hand on maya's shoulder. "everyone is going to love your paintings. me being farkle's girlfriend doesn't change that."

"she's right. you're going crush it, today!" farkle assured her.

"i feel like i'm talking to my dream parents. look at you guys, with your color coordination and your hands." she motioned towards they're intertwined hands.

since riley was wearing lilac, farkle decided to go with a purple bow tie.
they both blushed and riley tugged farkle along with her. to one of maya's paintings.

"we're just gonna act how we normally would but if we were dating. it wouldn't be so bad, right?" riley asked.

little did they know, this was going to be one hell of a night.
