In some fanfictions, there could be a scenario where Riley is having a hard time at school with a bully. Charlie stands up for her and they start a campaign against bullying at their school. This not only strengthens their friendship but also changes the school environment for the better.
Perhaps they kiss while on a class trip. They get separated from the group for a short while and find themselves in a beautiful, secluded spot. The tension that has been building between them finally erupts into a passionate kiss.
Riley, who is the central figure in many of the stories, is a character full of emotions and ideas. Charlie is another important character, and he is usually shown as someone who can support Riley through various situations, be it school - related problems or personal growth challenges.
One plot idea could be that Charlie and Riley team up for a school project. They start off not getting along well because they have different work styles. But as they spend more time together, they discover they have a lot in common, like their love for old movies. They end up creating an amazing project and become good friends.
For Charlie, you could develop his character by exploring his family life more. Maybe he has an older brother who is always overshadowing him, which makes him more determined in his own pursuits. As for Riley, you could show her dealing with insecurities outside of her usual confident self. For example, she could be insecure about her academic abilities compared to her friends. This would add more depth to their characters.
One idea could be a fanfic where Riley travels back in time to when her parents were her age and she tries to understand them better. Another could be Riley getting involved in a mystery at school and using her unique perspective to solve it. Maybe a fanfic about Riley going on an adventure in a magical world that she discovers through an old book in the library.
There could be a fanfiction where Lucas and Riley get paired up for a school project. As they work together, they face various challenges and in the process, their feelings for each other become more intense. For example, they might have to deal with a difficult topic for the project and their different approaches at first cause some friction, but then they learn to combine their strengths and grow closer.
One idea could be that Riley and Brandon meet in an art class. They start off as rivals, constantly competing over who can create the best art piece. But as they get to know each other better, they realize they have a lot in common and start to fall for each other. Their relationship then has to deal with the typical high school drama, like jealous classmates and strict teachers who don't approve of their budding relationship.
A plot where Maya and Riley swap personalities for a day. It's really funny as Riley tries to be all tough like Maya and Maya struggles to be as positive as Riley. It gives a whole new perspective on their characters.
It could be that the kiss was part of a game or a dare at first, but then it turns into something more real. Lucas might be the one who realizes first that he has deeper feelings for Riley. He starts doing little things for her, like bringing her favorite snack or helping her with her homework. Riley, on the other hand, is a bit slower to catch on, but when she does, she's really happy and they start to have more private moments together away from the group.
I really like the fanfiction titled 'Riley's Growth'. It delves deeper into Riley's relationships with her friends and family. It shows how she matures and learns from different situations, which is very much in line with her character in the show. There are some really heart - warming moments in this fanfiction that make it a great read.
