Princess Meets World

Val Meets Cory and Topanga

I don't own Girl Meets World!!!

Val sat at the kitchen table, working on homework and studying for her math test and an English. They were big ones. If she passed, she'd be put in A.P. courses in high school next year. Her mother sat across from her, working on a new case and her father sat at the head of the table grading tests and homework. It was peaceful and quiet, as it was almost midnight, and Riley and Auggie were in bed.

Riley walked down the stairs, her eyes closed, and bumped into the doorframe. She had her arms out and was clearly pretending to be sleepwalking. Cory, Topanga, and Val watched as she opened the fridge, grabbed a large plate of the spaghetti Val had made for dinner, and sat down at the table. She proceeded to stuff the noodles in her face.

Val almost snorted at the fat, chipmunk cheeks her sister made but stopped herself.

"Yeah...I'm not buying the sleepwalking bit for one second." Topanga shook her head.

"Would you let me have cold spaghetti at midnight if I was awake?" Riley asked.

"Nope." Cory said, not looking up from the test he was grading.

Riley growled and shoved more spaghetti in her mouth, using her hands as utensils.

"Thanks, now the spaghetti's gonna go to waste." Val laughed.

Riley swallowed "What are you three doing up anyway? It's midnight."

"Is it?" Val looked at her phone "Wow, I lost track of time."

"They're trying to throw out those people who own that wonderful old bookstore over on Jane Street." Topanga explained "They want to put in another fast-food Super Cluck."

Riley shivered "But they're the world's most powerful bucket of food people!"

"They don't scare me." Topanga grinned.

"Get 'em, Mom." Val laughed.

"Who are you?" Riley asked amazed.

"I am no friend of the Super Cluck!" Topanga frowned "They're trying to take over the whole neighborhood. But I will be there everywhere they want to go."

"So you stay up late and protect our community?" Riley asked.

"Trying."

"What are you doing, Val?" Riley turned to her sister.

"I'm studying for a math test. If I pass it, I can take Advanced Placement calculus next year." Val explained "When I finish this problem, I can move on to studying for my English test that can help me get into A.P. Lit."

"So you stay up late to learn and try and get a brighter future?" Riley was amazed "I thought freshman couldn't take A.P. courses yet?"

"They don't usually. But I talked to the guidance counselor at Abigail Adams High and they said if I pass these tests they set for me I can go into the sophomore math and English A.P. classes and take the tests for college credit." Val sighed "It's important to me to get as much practice in as I can so I do well."

"Yeah, well, you know what I do at night?" Riley asked "I sleep."

"Well, that's very important, honey." Topanga reassured her younger daughter.

"Well, a kid like me needs 15 hours." Riley shrugged then looked at her father "Dad, Mom's trying to save our whole city and Val's learning so she can have a bright future. How're you gonna beat that?

"I'm trying to get through Maya's paper."

"He beat you."

Topanga and Val nodded.
