"Mr. Matthews, please. Do you have any idea how to change our friends back?" Rapunzel asked to Mr. Matthews on how they can restore their friends back to their correct ages. "Surely, it's a cinch. Simply find that top, and spin it in reverse." Mr. Matthews said on how to change them back. "Okay that seems easy enough." Rapunzel stated.

"Of course, you only have one hour to do so, or they'll remain kids forever." Mr. Matthews said about how much time they have left to restore their friends back to their proper ages. "And why is it that there's only just one hour to reverse these things?!" Eugene shouted.

"Or, you could leave things as they are." Matthews stated as Kid Lance chased after Pascal, and Cassandra chased after him while the adults were talking. "You know what they say, you know, "To be young again is good." It's a poor saying, what do you want from me, oui? I'll leave you to it, then." Matthews said to Rapunzel, Eugene, and the Lilies. "Now, now, now, don't forget..."

"We know! One hour to corral these kids back in that nursery or they'll be like this forever." Eugene moaned since Matthews was going to repeat himself. "No. I was just going to say: somebody went poopsies." Matthews said to Eugene, correcting them since Shorty had pooped his diapers, to Eugene's disgust. " You know, it kills me to agree with him, but you are an ugly baby." Eugene stated from Matthews's point of view. "Alright, let's get back to that nursery... Kids?" Rapunzel called out to Kid Lance and Cassandra who they saw walking out of the dining room. "Ugh. No! Hey, get back here!" Eugene shouted going after them as Rapunzel let down her hair, and captured them both.

Continued from here

the next day in the kingdom of Corona, it was a typical normal day, until it ended when the stranger ran passed through the wanted poster that says 'Silent Striker'

"he went this way!" Stan shouted when he and Pete went after him, Mirage and Bella are being prepared to catch him too, the guard captain and the other guard got him surrounded

Summary: What if the prefect of the Ramshackle Dorm was a certain princess? One who has never left her tower, who has very long, magical hair, a pet chameleon, and uses a frying pan to defend herself.

He would probably make fun of you. I mean, besides being a newbie to Twisted Wonderland you're still so naive?

He might try to trick you with some harmless little lies, just to be funny, but as time goes by, he becomes more and more enchanted by you.

He might ask her to heal him of minor injuries just to see how it works, but he would pretend he didn't care much.

He would find it hilarious that you uses a frying pan to defend yourself. At first, he might tease you that it's a weird way to fight, but after he gets hit (probably because he's too cheeky), he realizes that you actually knows how to use it and learns to respect that.

Your magical hair, the way you handled things... even the frying pan hits you gave him over the head when he was going too far. He realizes that he enjoys your company more than a friend.

Because you're different from the people he knows. You are guileless, you doesn't lie like he does, and your honesty comes from a place of genuine kindness. This slowly disarms him.

He'd be irritated (but secretly confused) to realize that he likes to protect you when someone tries to take advantage of your naivety.

He might end up getting jealous if someone else gets too much attention from you. He would cover it up by saying he's just "keeping you out of trouble," but anyone would see that he's clearly bothered.

He doesn't get along with Pascal at first, his rivalry is even more intense with the little reptile than with Grim, actually.

Eventually, he becomes attached to Pascal as he has become attached to everyone in the group. The chameleon takes advantage of the opportunity to sit on his shoulders or on his orange hair.

When he's getting into trouble, you grab him with your hair and keep him from making more trouble, often turning him upside down.

When your hair was braided for better mobility, he was: 😳

It's in book 4 after the confusion with Jamil and Scarabia, he was semi-ready to declare himself more honestly.

"Look, I don't know if it's because you hit me over the head with that frying pan or if you really did charm me with that shiny hair, but... I think I like you. And before you say something silly... you better tell me you like me too."

Your very limited contact with men meant that you didn't have as many prejudices regarding height or... appearance.

This kind of made you not assume he was a girl and just ask him directly. This was enough to make Epel feel more comfortable with you.

Unlike Ace, his first contact with Pascal was surprisingly calm and he likes the little chameleon, the feeling is mutual.

Over time, Epel realized that he admired your strength and innocence. You are a bit naive but you knows how to defend yourself! He wanted to know how to handle that frying pan as well as you.

You encourage him beyond his insecurities, able to make him see the best in himself and show it to the world.

It's in book 6 that he realizes your true determination. I mean, the way you took out those robots was incredible!

He watched your magical hair heal everyone... truly so wonderful it's almost unbelievable. You have the gift of healing.

It was probably Vil who made your hair easier to move with a braid. Epel who put on the decorations, though. He blushed at your compliments.

He was ready to admit it when he's tied up in your hair.

"You... look even more beautiful from this angle..."

Upon hearing about the mysterious newcomer, Azul sees an opportunity. If you is lost and confused, perhaps you needs help... and who better than him to offer your a "small" contract?

He unfortunately (perhaps fortunately) was unable to actually contact you until the events from book 3.

Upon meeting you, Azul is intrigued. You unusual beauty, the sparkle in your eyes and, most importantly, your long magical hair pique his interest.

Your genuine kindness began to disconcert him. How could someone be so honest, so without ulterior motives? It was an irritating naivety… and at the same time, endearing.

Yet, you know how to defend yourself very well... much better than well, in fact.

When Floyd made a joke that your hair sometimes looked like Azul's tentacles, he found himself thinking about it more than he should have.

During book 4 you two get closer, you're practically his knight in shining armor. Although due to the situation, it should be the other way around.

Pascal didn't like him, but he started to like him after he helped you. Azul is happy that he no longer feels threatened by a animal that size.

He feels safe when he's being healed by you and your magical hair... maybe that means something.

You seem curious about your octopus form. It makes him feel embarrassed, but... you look so trusting. It's weird. He doesn't want to trust anyone but you just make his brain relax. It's scary.

To the point where he suddenly finds himself opening up to you about things he didn't want to talk initially, he suddenly stops with a red face and that stupid smile on your face only makes him redder.

"You look more confident with that braid, [Name]-san. Beautiful flowers."

Your long magical hair drew attention wherever you went, especially because it was uncut and shiny. Some students were curious, others suspicious, but none reacted like Rollo Flamme.

From the first moment he saw you, Rollo felt a mixture of fascination and contempt. Your hair clearly possessed magical properties, and the mere fact of its existence was a reminder of what he hated most.

However, you behavior baffled him. Unlike the arrogant mages he despised, you was kind and naive, in awe of everything around you. You asked questions about Noble Bell College, about Fleur City, about the Bell of Salvation, listening to each answer with an enchanted glint in your eyes.

He inevitably treated you differently than he treated the other students at NRC. At first it was to help his charade and also because you were a girl, but later it became much more genuine than he wanted.

Rollo tried to keep his distance, but he couldn’t help but feel a peculiar irritation whenever she got into trouble or when anyone got too close to her.

You used a frying pan to defend yourself, which was, in his view, completely absurd. And yet strangely effective. He witnessed this when a student tried to cut a lock of your hair and received a direct hit.

Your chameleon, who seemed to constantly judge him, became more of a problem. Pascal didn't like it when he got too close to you, and stuck his tongue in Rollo's ear. Mortifying. For Rollo at least.

The chaos of Rollo’s plan was coming to an end. Rollo knew he was defeated. But he refused to show weakness, even in the face of the fae prince. His body was exhausted, wounded, but before Malleus could deliver the final blow, [Name] acted, your long magical hair shot forward, coiling around Rollo and lifting him into the air, upside down.

His eyes widened, confused, indignant. “What do you think you’re doing?!” he would ask.

“Stopping Malleus from turning you to ash,” you replied, as if it were obvious. “You already lost. You doesn’t need to hurt yourself anymore.”

Rollo gritted his teeth, hating this feeling of helplessness. He tried to struggle, but the your strands were stronger than they looked. “I don’t need your pity,” he growled.

Before he could protest more, you began to sing. The golden glow enveloped his body, and Rollo felt something strange, a soft warmth running through his wounds, the pain dissipating, the fatigue fading.

He hated it. Hated the magic, hated the feeling of vulnerability. But most of all, he hated the fact that, for a brief moment, he didn’t want you to stop.

He hated all magic... but yours was an exception.

He helped re-braid your hair at the ball.

"Come here. I'll pick some flowers..."

Jamil imprisons you as part of his plan in the event of Book 4. You, who has never seen the world beyond your tower before Twisted Wonderland, not exactly panicking? But you understand that the situation is critical so you try to escape.

While trying to maintain his cover as a loyal servant, he mentally mocks your naivety at first, but is soon surprised by you determination in trying to escape... using a frying pan.

After book 4, he learned valuable lessons about how not to mess with you or your pets... and also that frying pans hurt a lot.

When forced to be around you, he begins to feel sympathy for you. He recognizes your kindness and passion, unlike Kalim, your ignorance was more justified in Jamil's opinion alone, of course.

Pascal didn't like him very much from the beginning, but when they understood each other, it became a beautiful friendship. I guess reptiles understand each other?

He would watch with unparalleled calm as you grabbed him with your hair... well, expected.

In book 5, he pulled you to the mat before Vil could even get close.

After several interactions in which he begins to realize your strength and kindness, Jamil falls in love with you. He sees in you someone who, despite your naivety, has the power to heal not only physically but emotionally. Everyone likes you, one way or another.

Just like Ace, he was 😳 when you showed off your Vil-braided hair. You look beautiful either way, but your hair has an extra charm this way.

"Nice braids... I can make some more for you. H-hm, if you want, of course."

Perfect Flynn Rider. Scoundrel, thief, humble origins... the name is Ruggie Bucchi.

He tried to take advantage of her naivety several times while they were getting to know each other, but after book 2, the relationship actually improved.

Whenever he tried to steal something from you without you seeing, Pascal would magically appear next to him and stick his tongue in Ruggie's ear.

"AARGH! Not again!" Ruggie shook like crazy, trying to get the little animal away. Pascal, in turn, just went back to his place, satisfied.

During the chaos at the book 3, Before Ruggie could react, he was lifted into the air, since [Name], in the heat of the moment, had used her long magical hair to hold him back. But, lost in the conversation, she simply forgot he was there. Ruggie was shaking his head, huffing. "Hey, uh… princess? I'm still here…" you continued talking to Azul, completely distracted. Then, without realizing it, you let your hair down.

Azul arched an eyebrow as Jade and Floyd watched with amusement. You covered your mouth, looking at Ruggie lying on the ground. "Oops..."

Ruggie groaned, not having the strength to curse.

Ruggie would sit with you at Savanaclaw, after seeing you upset with yourself for losing your dorm and being naive, and there he talks a little about his poor background, making you laugh a little with his statements and good mood, only to make you laugh again at the end when he tells you not to tell anyone, after all, "that would ruin his reputation."

Ruggie was no stranger to injuries. He was always getting into sticky situations, and when you saw some scrapes and bruises after a confrontation, your first instinct was: “Stay still.” Before he could question it, your hair wrapped around the wounds.

After everything they had been through in Book 3, Ruggie was tasked with taking you back to your dorm. Normally, he would have balked at doing something that didn’t directly benefit him, but for some reason, he accepted without hesitation. On the way, you talked about everything you had learned and how you felt. Ruggie listened, more attentively than he would like to admit. When you arrived, you smiled at him. His heart gave a strange leap.

"...Tsk. I hope you know I don't do anything for free, princess."

Perfect Flynn Rider #2. More than Ruggie, even.

The first time they met, he had ignored her. He was more focused on convincing the 'elite' of Night Raven College to accept his invitation and come to Playful Land.

When [Name] arrived at Playful Land, he finally noticed her. Her long, shiny hair adorned with flowers, her delicate face, and curious eyes. A naive, impressionable girl dazzled by the new world around her? The easiest prey he'd had in years... until she wasn't.

Pascal, her pet chameleon, hated Fellow Honest at first sight and immediately tried to attack him, slapping his face with its curled tail.

When the deception was revealed, Fellow's plan, she wasted no time. One clean strike with the frying pan. With the skill of her magical hair, she quickly tied Fellow and Gidel up, leaving them no chance of escape.

When Fellow woke up, he found himself trapped in [Name]'s hair, who was staring down at him with a steady gaze. “Very well, Fellow Honest…” she said slowly, her eyes narrowed. “I need to find my friends, and so I’ve decided to trust… you.” Fellow blinked in disbelief. “A horrible decision, really” he replied.

Fellow even tries to escape a few times, but every time he tries, she tightens her grip on her hair. Gidel remains silent and worries about Fellow, but he can't deny that it's a little funny to see him trying to escape before being dragged back to [Name].

During the scuffle to save the boys, Fellow had gotten himself badly hurt. He just agreed to guide [Name] to where they were and didn't want to get involved, but his plans didn't go as planned. He didn't even realize how bad it was until [Name] grabbed him and wrapped her magical hair around his body. And then... he was unharmed. Fellow looked down at himself, horrified. "Since when do you do THAT?" He asked. She blinked, and laughs awkwardly. "I guess... since forever?" He looked at her even more in disbelief. "And no one thought it was important to tell me?!" He was completely baffled. Healing magic like this was rare. How could a girl lost in the middle of nowhere have such an ability?

During this whole situation I can imagine several iconic scenes. Like: "Sorry, boys. I don't sing." / "I could get used to a view like this..." / "The only thing I want to do with your hair is to get out of it!… literally!" / "I know not who you are, or how I came to find you, but may I just say… hi. How ya doin'?" / "Stay calm. It can probaly smell fear."

Even, the NRC students chose not to report him. She just said, “If you get arrested, what will happen to Gidel?” and he felt his stomach turn in a strange way.

Fellow Honest had never been someone easy to impress, much less change. But something about you disconcerted him. Not only did you not treat him with disdain even after discovering his terrible intentions, you also seemed to understand something about him that even he himself did not. When he was around you, he felt as if he knew where he was going. And at last he see the light.

"Did I ever tell you, I have got a thing for your hair color?"

Little Rapunzel!

There's a little foreshadowing of Pascal the chameleon in the first gif!

[goldenflowers]

need a floyd/riddle tangled AU where obviously riddle is rapunzel, mrs. rosehearts is mother gothel, and floyd is flynn/eugene and rescues the long lost prince riddle from his tower. vorpal (riddle's horse from the equestrian club) can be maximus and instead of a chameleon, pascal is a cute little hedgehog with an alice in wonderland-inspired name. maybe at the end instead of mrs. rosehearts tripping and falling from the tower floyd just straight up fucking kills her. this whole idea is even funnier when you remember that gothel warns rapunzel about men with pointy teeth in the movie <3

[gh0stsp1d3r]

𝒴ℴ𝓊 𝒽𝒾𝓉 𝓂ℯ 𝒻𝒾𝓇𝓈𝓉!

Rapunzel!au :3 flynn rider!rafe. love this au sm actually

Rafe clutches the bag to his chest tightly, glancing around the dim cave he was currently hiding in. From a damn horse.

He sighed in relief when he heard it walk away, exiting the cave the opposite way he came in from. But what he saw was not what he expected at all.

He turned around to see a giant, tall tower. A waterfall behind it, and vines growing on top of the building like it’d been abandoned. He stared in awe, glancing behind him before going over to the tower.

His travel up the tower was rough, but he made it. He shut the window, breathing heavily and leaning against the wall, catching his breath and wiping his sweat off with his palm.

He opened up the bag finally, and before he could even get a good look, he was hit upside the head with a frying pan.

You screamed out of fear, not quite sure what to do now. You hid as if he would wake up. He didn’t, you soon realized. You walked closer again, holding the frying pan, and gently nudging the man’s face. Yup, definitely unconscious.

You looked at your pet lizard, pascal, as if he could even talk. He just stared right back at you. You moved the man’s face with the pan this time, turning it to the side. You moved his hair, examining his features as if he was some sort of ghost.

You put the pan down, interested and intrigued by the man in front of you. He had pretty hair, his skin seemed soft, and his lips were…

You snapped out of your thoughts when one of his eyes opened, you panicked, lifting the pan up and yelping as you hit his head again, shutting your eyes.

He was unconscious again, thankfully. You wrapped your long hair around him, using all the strength you had to pull him.

You ended up shoving him into a wardrobe, shutting it and leaving a chair against it, holding the pan out in front of you again.

“I’ve got a person.. in my closet.” You muttered, looking over to the mirror. “I’ve got a person… in my closet!” The realization dawned on you. “And she says I’m too weak to handle myself?” You talked to yourself, a smug smirk on your face.

Your eyes met something in the mirror, on the floor. The man’s bag. You picked it up, and picked up a crown out of it, looking at it.

“Huh.”

“Y/n!” You heard your mother shout from outside, you gasping and immediately putting the crown up, going to the window.

—

You took a deep breath, using your hair to open the door from afar. He fell face down onto the floor, you gasped and went over, and idea in your head.

You pulled his weight with your hair, he was currently tied up in your hair. Your chameleon hit the man with his tail, and then stuck his tongue in his ear when the man didn’t wake up.

He woke up after that, yelling and looking around. He furrowed an eyebrow, looking down at his lap and trying desperately to move his body and hands. He looked up at you, following your hair to you.

“Jesus…” he mumbled, looking at you all from far away, he could barely see you in the darkness. “Let me out! What the f-“ he jolted around in the chair.

“Struggling- struggling is pointless.” You told him, he furrowed his eyebrows, stopping his movements.

“This has gotta be some weird dream.” He mumbled to himself, watching you climb down from your spot. “Let me out! Swear to God, when I get out-“

You huffed, “I know why you’re here… and I’m not afraid of you.” You told him, holding the pan in front of you still.

“What?” He asked, watching you come into the light.

“Who are you? And how did you find me?” You asked him, he seemed to be in a bit of a daze. You were gorgeous, much more gorgeous than he expected a girl in a tower to be.

“Uh…”

“Who are you, and how did you find me?” You repeated, harsher, raising the pan above your head.

“Okay- can you put the… pan down and then I’ll talk?”

You didn’t reply and he sighed, clearing his throat.

“I don’t know who you are, lady, and I don’t know how I found you. Was just exploring before you hit me on the head and knocked me out. But may I just say…” he paused, making his best attempt at a flirty face. “Hi. How’s it going? My names rafe cameron.”

You furrowed your eyebrows, not amused. You scoffed, “who else knows my location… Rafe Cameron?” You asked, holding the pan to his face again, closer.

“Alright, dude-“

“Y/n.”

“Here’s the deal. I was in a situation, in the forest, I just happened to come across your tower and… f-“ he paused, glancing around when he realized he was missing his bag.

“Where’s my bag?” He asked you, panicked.

“I hid it. Somewhere you’ll never find it.”

He looked around the room again, for hiding spots. “It’s in that pot, isn’t it?” You hit him in the head again with the pan.

“Would you stop doing that?” He exclaimed when he woke up to the chameleons tongue in his ear again, watching it jump off and you standing smugly in front of him.

“Now I hid it where you won’t find it.”

He groaned, throwing his head back in the wooden chair. “Swear to god when I get out of here I’m knocking you out with that damn pan.”

“Me?! You’re the one who-“

“Well, you hit me first!” He complained like a child would.

You rolled your eyes, ignoring him as you began to circle him. “What do you want with my hair? To cut it?”

“What?!”

“Sell it?” You asked, putting the pan to his head again.

“No! Listen, the only thing I want to do with your hair to get outta it- literally and figuratively.”

“Wait…” you stopped moving, looking at him. “You don’t want my hair?”

“Why on earth would I want your hair? I was being chased, I saw the tower and I climbed it. End of story.”

“Are you telling the truth?” You asked, still holding the pan to his face.

“Yes.” He said, you slowly retracted the pan, looking at your chameleon who was now in your hand as you whispered to him.

“But what choice do I have?” You asked, hearing Rafe struggle in the chair again from behind you. You looked up, sighing. “Okay. Rafe cameron, I’m gonna offer you a deal.” You told him,

“Look this way.” You spoke, turning around, causing the chair to spin and fall, as you walked up to the mural you had painted, pulling back the curtains.

“Do you know what these are?” You asked, but when you turned, you saw his face smushed against the tile.

“The lantern thing they do for the princess?” He said nasally.

“Lanterns, I knew they weren’t stars.” You muttered to yourself. “Well, tomorrow, they’ll light the night sky with the… lanterns. You-“ you pointed the pan over to him, “will act as my guide, take me to the lanterns, and return me home. Then- and only then, will I return your bag to you. That’s my deal.”

“Yeah-“ he grunted, turning his body around yo turn the chair onto its side. “Not gonna happen, princess. The kingdom and I aren’t exactly on good terms right now, so I couldn’t take you anywhere if I wanted to.”

You hopped down, grabbing your hair and pulling it towards you. “Something brought you here,” his chair was pulled up. “Call it what you will, fate, destiny-“

“A literal horse?”

“But I made the decision to trust you-“ you spoke, inching closer to the man.

“A horrible decision, by the way.”

“But trust me when I tell you this..” you gripped your hair, forcing the chair forward, your arm holding it so that he looked up at you.

“You can tear this tower apart, brick by brick, but without my help you will never find your precious bag.” You spoke to him closely.

“Let me get this straight. I take you to see the lanterns, that you so badly wanna see for some reason, bring you back home and you’ll bring me back my bag?”

“Promise. And if I promise something, I never, ever break that promise.”

He furrowed an eyebrow, unconvinced.

“Ever.” You repeated.

He sighed in defeat. “Fine. I’ll take you to see the fuckin’ lanterns.”

“Really?!” You exclaimed out of excitement, your movement making him fall face first onto the hard tiles.

“Oops.” You mumbled, looking down at him.

“I think you broke my nose.” He whimpered out.

I loved this sm and was so excited to get it out I didn’t wanna queue it

[biasomnia]

Riddle Rapunzel already injected life and love and happiness into me. Bc look at this, objectively the prettiest card since Fair Gala Ortho

AND THEN THEY MADE EVERYONE ELSE WOMEN TOO!!!

DEUCEE MY SON. I predicted Pascal Kalim, Flynn Deuce and Max (the horse) Jack. I’ll be real I can’t tell if I was right with Jack or Deuce BUT Kalim the whimsical chameleon

[dioslesbianwife]

Can I please request the jofoes with the Rapunzel partner 🙏🙏

How would they react their partner having 70 feet long magic hair (had to Google it 💀)and her pet chameleon named Pascal

Dopio using Pascal as a phone and getting chameleon toung in his ear 😭

How would they react to getting healed for the first time and seeing their partners hair glow

sure, hope you enjoy and thank you for requesting <3333

Dio

Initially, he’s unimpressed- until he sees your hair glow and heal wounds. Now he’s VERY interested.

Would probably try to convince you to use your powers for his own gain.

Pascal amuses him, though he refuses to admit it. The little chameleon perches on his shoulder like a tiny, scaly minion.

The first time you heal him he’s momentarily stunned. DIO, the immortal vampire, feeling warmth again? Unthinkable.

Kars

“Fascinating.” Your hair is a biological marvel to him. Expect him to study it (and you).

Pascal? He might try to see if he can modify him into the ultimate predator. You have to stop him immediately.

When he gets healed he pretends not to be shocked but can’t deny how incredible it feels.

Wamuu

Wamuu respects your abilities and will train you in combat.

He thinks your glowing hair is beautiful and is completely mesmerized by it.

Feels genuinely honored if you heal him with it, though he can heal himself just fine, he still enjoys when you do it.

Esidisi

Esidisi gets emotional when you heal him-literally starts crying from the warmth.

Probably helps you manage your hair’s length, having some vampire spawn carry it behind you so you don’t have to worry about it.

Hescreams when the chameleon’s tongue randomly flicks out.

Kira

Your long hair? A nightmare for his neatfreak tendencies. Hair everywhere. He struggles.

But when you heal him his paranoia momentarily melts away. He feels truly safe for the first time.

Pascal somehow always appears on his shoulder. Kira hates it, but Pascal refuses to leave.

Diavolo & Doppio

Diavolo is wary. “Is this Stand-related?” He’s suspicious of anything outside his control.

Doppio loves Pascal. Unfortunately, he keeps mistaking Pascal for his phone. 

The amount of chameleon tongue in his ear is ridiculous.

When Diavolo gets healed for the first time, he goes dead silent. The sensation is foreign, like he’s being purified.

Enrico Pucci

Immediately links your abilities to divine intervention. Your healing reinforces his faith.

Pascal lands on his Bible. Pucci sighs but lets it happen.

May or may not quote scripture about your hair. Will want to tell you/remind you of the story of Samson.

Funny Valentine

America has never seen hair this powerful before. He might try to recruit you for the government due to how useful your healing is.

Pascal somehow phases between dimensions when Valentine swaps bodies. It unnerves him.

Your healing is seriously a miracle in his eyes. For once, he feels at peace.

Diego Brando

Severely confused. He’s seen Stands, but magic hair?

Gets annoyed when Pascal blends in with his coat.

When he gets healed? He refuses to acknowledge how nice it felt.

Tooru

Pretends not to care, but he definitely experiments with how your hair interacts with the Rokaka fruit.

Pascal steals his snacks. One time he was trying to munch on some wasps but he got to them first.

He doesn’t need your healing most of the time, it’s rare for something to actually pose him any harm, but he stares intently whenever he sees your hair start glowing.

Fathers and Sons

Eugene & Rapunzel are visiting Varian. 

The Brotherhood is visiting as well. Quirin has invited everyone so Varian could learn more about his heritage, and Varian had in turn invited Eugene & Rapunzel. As the couple was welcomed inside, Varian asked if anyone else came to visit too. Eugene answers him:

“Sorry buddy, but it’s just us. Cass isn’t back for her visits yet and Lance had to figure things out with Kiera & Catalina’s school.”

Everyone had a nice time catching up over tea & apple pie. Edmund had explained many things about the Dark Kingdom., like its religion and the culture that formed in a Kingdom plagued by Black Rocks. Rapunzel was very interested:

“You know, we have the ‘Good Will Gopher Grab’ and ‘the Day of Hearts’ in Corona. Did the Dark Kingdom have any traditions like that?”

Hector says there were several Dark Kingdom traditions. For instance, there was the annual sword-fighting tournament, the harvest festival & the Summer Dance! Rapunzel is excited: 

“Is there anything they might be able to do here in Old Corona?” 

“Well, there is the Father-Son Contest!” 

Adira explains that once a year, teams of fathers & sons would compete in several different challenges. They would hunt, build, fish, shoot a bow & show their physical prowess in a friendly competition. Coincidentally, that contest would be this week! Rapunzel jumps up excitedly: 

“We could totally do that! We even have 2 father-son duo’s right here! Right guys?”

Edmund agrees. 

“That sounds like a great idea! What do you think, Quirin? Would you and your boy like to challenge us?” 

Quirin turns to Varian and asks if he would be ok with that. Varian is happy to join: 

“Sure! It sounds like fun!”

After a week of building & setting things up, the course is ready! There are 2 boats, targets, building materials & 2 identical obstacle courses. Rapunzel high-fives Varian & Eugene, happy about a job well done. After a quick check Rapunzel realizes that they don’t have any bows ready. Quirin remembers he has a couple of them. He heads into the house to look for bows. Meanwhile Rapunzel gets curious about the other members of the Brotherhood.

“So how do you like the Kingdom of Corona? It must be strange to be here after 20 years of not leaving your home!”

Edmund agrees, but he does like it here. It’s very colorful and lively! He hopes that one day the Dark Kingdom will be just as lively. Hector disagrees, he actually quite liked the solitude. Eugene asks him if he truly spent 20 years in that Tree without any human contact. Hector denies this:

“I mean, for most of it. Not counting any intruders I chased off, the only people to actually visit were Quirin & his wife. But that was 15, 16 years ago so they could-”

CRASH!!!

Suddenly the group hears a loud noise coming from the house! Worried for Quirin, they rush inside. They find Quirin at the bottom on the stairs, surrounded by fallen books & a toppled over shelf. Unable to stand on his left foot, Edmund & Eugene help him up the stairs and onto a chair. While Adira takes off the boot, Rapunzel asks what happened. Quirin tells her that he tripped and knocked over his bookcase. He’s hurt his ankle though. Adira & Varian look after him while Eugene & Edmund go get the doctor & some ice. Rapunzel offers to clean up the mess in the basement. When she gets down there, she finds Pascal reading one of the books that fell.

“Pascal? What are you doing?”

The little chameleon seems panicked. He points towards the book and he tries to get Rapunzel to read it. Picking it up, Rapunzel realizes this is Quirin’s old diary! She scolds Pascal, saying he shouldn’t read other people’s dairy’s. Pascal still urges her to read it, pointing to a specific page. Rapunzel relents, but still feels bad about it:

“August: Ulla tries to stay optimistic, but I can tell she is only trying to spare my feelings. We have been trying for a few years and she is still not with child. The doctor examined her and she should be more than capable of getting pregnant, so I can only assume the problem lies with me. We both want a baby so badly, I must think of a solution for this. For Ulla. For our family.”

“December: I have discussed it with Ulla, and we finally found a way to have the family we always wanted. She even agreed with my suggestion of who could help us. As soon as the snow clears we will head out. It’s a long journey, but it will be worth it.”

“July: We finally arrived. We pretended this journey was a sort of second honeymoon, but I can tell Ulla is getting nervous now that we are here. I am nervous too. I just hope Hector is willing to hear us out instead of immediately attacking.”

“November: It worked! Ulla has begun showing a bump! She is pregnant! I am so happy, I cannot thank Hector enough! Will it be a boy or a girl? Maybe twins? Ulla vetoed my suggestion of naming the child after the prince, So we will name her Alexis if she’s a girl, and Varian if he is a boy! Even if Hector is the baby’s father, I swear I will raise our child with all the love in the world!”

“RAPS? ARE YOU STILL IN THE BASEMENT? THE DOCTOR IS HERE!”

Eugene calls out to Rapunzel, startling her. She quickly shoves the dairy under the table to hide it. Shaken up, she answers him, saying she’ll be up in a minute. When Eugene leaves, she turns to Pascal:

“Hector is Varian’s actual father? How… Why… Pascal, what are we going to do?”

Pascal turns himself pink like Rapunzel’s dress, and mimes telling to Varian, who he mimes by turning himself wine-red like Varian’s shirt and a blue streak on his head. He urges Rapunzel to tell Varian this. Rapunzel shakes her head vehemently.

“We can’t tell Varian! You know how much he cares about his dad! I mean, about Quirin! He did everything for Quirin, This would break him!”

She slumps down a bit, recalling how she felt when she realized Gothel wasn’t her real mother. Back then, she felt confused, betrayed, hurt, angry! But most of all she felt sad. Everything in her life had been a lie. She doesn’t want to do that to Varian. Rapunzel decides to hide the dairy under the table and forget about it.

Upstairs, the doctor has left. It turns out that Quirin has sprained his ankle and it will take a few weeks to heal. He is upset that he and Varian won’t be able to compete with Eugene & Edmund. Quirin was excited to share something from his homeland with Varian, but it seems like that won’t be possible now. Seeing Varian’s sad look, Quirin turns to Hector:

“Hector, could you perhaps join Varian’s team? I really want him to experience this part of our culture, and I’m not sure he’ll get another chance!”

A little later the group is outside. Quirin has joined Rapunzel & Adira, sitting in a chair Varian has put wheels under. Adira volunteers to be the referee, claiming to be the most impartial of the group.

“Alright! Time for the first contest: the Hunt! Whoever can bring back the biggest-”

Rapunzel whispers something in Adira’s ear. Looking at Varian, Adira sighs and starts over:

“The first contest is TAMING and bringing back the biggest animal. ALIVE, since the princess felt bad.”

The teams head to the starting line near the edge of the forest. At Rapunzel’s signal they run into the woods, searching for the biggest beast! Petting Ruddiger behind the ears, Quirin is a bit nervous. Hunting is easy since you can shoot an animal from afar, but taming one requires you to get close. Adira reassures him. Surely Hector can keep his son safe! Meanwhile in the woods, Hector is following some tracks he found. Varian is following close behind.

“Uncle Hector, you know King Edmund better: Do you think we’ll have a chance of winning?”

“Relax kid, I’m the best tracker of the Brotherhood! As long as what we find has a warrior spirit we’ll be fine!”

This confuses Varian. He asks what Hector means by ‘warrior spirit’?

“Well, I tamed my bearcats & my rhino by beating them in battle! They respected me and accepted me as their leader since they recognized a fellow warrior. Let’s hope this beastie is the same. Speaking of which…”

Varian looks in front of Hector. They found the source of the tracks, and it’s growling with its tail between the legs.

“Uncle Hector, wait! I don’t think this one has a ‘warrior spirit’ like you said! Can I try something first?”

Hector looks at Varian & the wolf & thinks for a bit. Sheathing his swords, he steps aside.

“Kay!”

On the other side of the forest are Edmund & Eugene. They too are following tracks. They are pretty big tracks, so Eugene is pretty sure they will be able to win if they can tame this one. After a while they find the animal that made them. While checking it out from a distance, Eugene expresses his doubts about this:

“What do you think, pops? Do you reckon we can get to be buddy-buddy with a bear?”

“Don’t worry, son! I actually had a pet bear named Petunia when I was young!”

Eugene looks at Edmund incredulously.

“Really? An actual bear, or a teddy bear? Cuz I’d prefer not to get mauled by 600 pounds of angry animal!” 

Edmund steps out of the bushes, and shows himself to the bear, which immediately starts to growl.

“Have no fear, Eugene! I’ll show you why they used to call me the Bear-King!”

Meanwhile, Adira & Quirin are having some tea, and Rapunzel has just retrieved some fresh ice for Quirin’s ankle. Sitting down and getting some tea herself, Raps wonders who will return first. Adira isn’t sure.

“Well, Hector will probably find something first but I doubt he’ll win. He’s far more likely to wrestle whatever he finds here. Turning this into a ‘taming-competition’ is a real handicap for him.”

Quirin on the other hand thanks Rapunzel & Adira for it. He was worried, since Varian isn’t good with blood. Suddenly they hear rustling coming from the trees. Adira stands up, ready to judge.

A stick is thrown out of the woods. Immediately after that a wolf comes jumping out of the trees! It’s wagging its tail and looking quite pleased! Hector & Varian follow it out of the woods. Varian quickly calls the wolf back before it goes after Rudiger.

“Bernadette! Come back, girl!”

The wolf bounces back to Varian, stick in its mouth. Varian takes the stick and throws it again, playing fetch with the wolf he named Bernadette. Hector walks up to the group.

“Well? How’s that? I’d say that’s a beauty of a wolf right there! Do you think she’ll be enough to win?”

Adira is surprised. She didn’t expect Hector to actually tame something that friendly. Hector admits it wasn’t him:

“It was actually Varian who tamed her. He noticed she was more scared than aggressive and calmed her down. He’s pretty good with beasties! I didn’t expect that from the kid.”

Varian guides the wolf back to Adira so she can have a good look.

“I guess animals just like me. I’m not sure why, but when I first met Rudiger he would constantly try to break into my lab just to see me. I only started feeding him when we were already friends. If it’s ok with you I’d like to let Bernadette go now, she should be with her pack instead of in town.”

Adira says it’s ok, and Bernadette trots back into the woods with her stick. Quirin is very happy Varian didn’t decide to keep her. He got a headache just thinking about looking after a wolf! They suddenly hear 2 shouts of surprise coming from the woods! Edmund and Eugene have returned as well. Eugene waves at the group:

“We’re back! So can I assume that the wolf that nearly ran into us was your catch?”

Eugene & Edmund look terrible! They are dirty & their clothes are slightly torn. Rapunzel starts plucking the twigs out of Eugene’s hair.

“Are you hurt? What happened?”

“Well, Sunshine. Turns out that some bears like wrestling. Who’d have thought?” 

Rapunzel smiles at him. She assures him it’s not a problem if they didn’t manage to tame a bear, that would be really difficult, especially since Edmund was wearing a bearskin as a cape. That doesn’t exactly invite friendship! 

Suddenly she hears a growl. The bear rushes towards Edmund! Adira & Rapunzel get ready for a fight, but Edmund tackles the bear into a hug:

“There she is! Isn’t she a beauty? I shall name you Petunia II, and we will be partners for life!”

The bear starts licking Edmunds face, clearly agreeing with him. Everyone is surprised, except Eugene.

“Like I said, apparently she likes to wrestle. I thought we were goners, but it worked out in the end!”

While Bernadette the wolf was impressive, everyone agrees that Petunia II the bear is the clear winner. Adira declares Edmund & Eugene victorious and the group gets ready for the next challenge.

“Next up is archery! Grab your bows and head for the target please!!”

Adira shows the group the target and instructs everyone to stay behind the line. Everyone gets 3 shots, and the team that scores the most points will win! After a coin toss, Varian & Hector are up first. Hector takes aim, and manages to hit 2 of them in the center of the target, with the last arrow ending up in the second ring instead. Varian cheers for his uncle.

“Amazing! You’re really good at this, uncle Hector!”

Hector stands proud, clearly taking in the praise. But when Varian tries to shoot, Hector stops him.

“Kid, your stance is all wrong. You’re going to poke someone’s eye out that way. Did Quirin never teach you how to use a bow or something?”

Varian shakes his head. He never used a bow before, since Quirin didn’t think it was necessary for him to learn. Varian never wanted to be a hunter and he faints at the sight of blood, so it never came up. Hector scoffs at that:

“What the heck, Quirin! He needs to know stuff like this, you can’t shelter kids! Next thing you’re going to tell me you didn’t teach him how to fight!”

Seeing Varian’s sheepish look, Hector sighs. 

“Of course the last knight of the Brotherhood didn’t teach you that. Ok kid, first I’m going to teach you how to shoot, then I’ll teach you how to fight. You have to be able to defend yourself!”

Maneuvering Varian into a proper stance, Hector gives a quick rundown of how to aim and when to shoot. Following the instructions, Varian manages to hit the target. Sure, none of the arrows hit the center, but 1 hits the smaller ring while the other 2 hit the outer one. Varian is happy with this, and he gets a compliment from Hector. Quirin cheers from the sideline.

“Good job, son! You did great!”

Varian waves back to Quirin. He’s very happy he managed to hit the target at all. As Eugene approaches the target, Varian asks Hector if it will be enough to win. Hector tells Varian that it depends entirely on how Eugene shoots. Eugene aims, and shoots:

“Yes! One dead center and 2 inner rings! Lucky shot!”

Eugene celebrates, high fiving Edmund. He did better than he thought he would! Hector groans:

“Well, there goes the win. We’ve lost this one, kid.”

“What? Why? King Edmund only has one arm, how can he even shoot with that?”

While Varian is confused, Edmund takes his place. Using his foot and his one arm, he shoots all 3 arrows dead in the middle of the target. They are so well aimed the arrows pierce each other down the middle! Eugene whistles in amazement.

“Dang, pops! How in the world did you get so good at that?”

Edmund admits that even before the kingdom was evacuated he was the best archer in the Dark Kingdom. When he guarded the Moonstone he would practice with his one arm whenever he got bored, which was often. Varian & Hector didn’t stand a chance!

Next up is the building competition. While Adira moves the target further away, Rapunzel explains the rules:

“Ok, teams! You’re both doing great! For this competition both teams need to make a catapult! You can use whatever items are in the piles next to you, and no stealing from the other’s pile! I can guarantee they have the exact same stuff in them, so it’s 100% fair!”

Eugene whines a bit, claiming it’s not really fair if the Royal Engineer is competing, but since he had the Dark Kingdom’s best archer last round Hector tells him to suck it up. Varian smugly says since Edmund only had one arm he will only use one arm as well, to make it fair for Eugene. The group gets 1 hour to make the best catapult, judged by who can get a pumpkin the closest to the target. While the teams are building away, Rapunzel goes to get some drinks for everyone. While pouring the drinks she sees Pascal trying to drag the diary out of the basement.

“Pascal! Stop that! I know you really want me to tell Varian, but I… I just can’t. Not yet at least. Can we wait until after the Brotherhood has left? I want Varian to be able to bond with his family without this hanging over his head.”

Pascal relents and Rapunzel takes the diary. She hides it in her pocket and takes the drinks outside. When she gets back to the group both teams are ready to show off their catapults. Rapunzel is impressed by both teams:

“Wow! These look amazing, guys! So sophisticated! Varian, are you sure you only used one hand?”

Varian shows he indeed had his hand tied around his back. As it turns out, Hector is quite handy too! He had designed and created the mechanism to extend and retract his swords into their gauntlets himself:

“I had to be able to repair these things myself, after all. Who knows? If I had applied myself to engineering instead of the sword I might have been half as good as the kid!”

Varian laughs claiming they have a lot in common, but Rapunzel gets nervous. She begins to worry that Varian might start to notice their similarities. Meanwhile, Adira looks over the catapults. Edmund & Eugene’s looks like a standard, but well-constructed catapult. Hector & Varian’s looks more like a cannon than a catapult, but since it doesn’t use gun-powder it is allowed. Instead it uses a mechanism similar to Hector’s swords. Adira hands Eugene a pumpkin for their attempt. He loads up the pumpkin while Edmund aims. Satisfied, Edmund starts to count down:

“Alright, stand back everyone! 3… 2… 1… LAUNCH!”

With a big arc, the pumpkin soars through the air! Following it with their eyes, they see it comes pretty close! Rapunzel & Adira head to the target and measure the distance from where the pumpkin hit the ground to the target. Rapunzel shouts the distance to Quirin to write down.

“Only 9 feet from the target! Great job, guys!”

Edmund & Eugene high five. They did very well for a target that was 150 feet away. Rapunzel gives Varian the next pumpkin. They load it up, aim and Varian begins their own countdown:

“1… 2… 3… SHOOT!”

Hector pulls the lever and activates their catapult. It shoots the pumpkin much faster and in a straight line! It zooms across the field and hits the target dead on, knocking it over! Hector & Varian celebrate:

“Yes! It worked! Good job, kiddo!”

“It worked PERFECTLY! Using your swords as a reference was a great idea!”

Quirin holds Ruddiger back from chasing the tasty pumpkin. He smiles at the teams. 

“Good job everyone. I don’t think measuring will be necessary this time, though!”

Giving Eugene a kiss on the check, Rapunzel assures him their catapult was also amazing. Besides, Edmund & Eugene are still in the lead. They only need to win once more to be crowned champions!

“You’re right, Sunshine! We still got this! Alright, let’s get fishing! To the boats!”

Both teams are fishing on opposite sides of the lake. It’s been about 30 minutes, and neither side has gotten any bites yet. Neither team wants to scare away the fish. Eugene is worried since it’s taking so long. He leans back to whisper to Edmund:

“Hey, you wouldn’t happen to also secretly be the best fisher of the Dark Kingdom? Because it’s been half an hour and I’m not sure I’m trusting my luck here.”

“Don’t worry son. If I know Hector, and I do, he will be eating himself up with frustration right about now. Despite guarding a Tree for 20 years, he isn’t actually a very patient person. He will act up soon, we just have to out-wait him.”

Eugene looks carefully at Hector & Varian’s boat. Sure enough, Hector is angrily tapping his feet. Beside him, Varian is also drumming his fingers on his fishing rod with impatience. Suddenly Hector stands up and growls in anger:

“THAT’S IT. I’M SPEARING ONE OF THESE STUPID FISHES!”

“Uncle Hector, please calm down! You’re scaring away the fish!”

Unsheathing his sword, he leans over the edge. Varian also stands up to get him to calm down, but the way they are pulling on each other rocks the boat heavily! 

SPLASH!

They accidentally tip the boat and both Hector & Varian fall into the water! With the boat turned over both swim to shore. In the next boat Edmund turns to Eugene:

“See? This always happens. If Hector cannot train while he is waiting he just works himself into a frenzy!”

Eugene watches as the 2 swimmers head for land. He feels bad for them since they got soaked. Just as he is about to suggest getting back to shore themselves, he feels a tugging on his rod. Eugene has a bite! Edmund cheers for him:

“Well done, son! Reel it in!”

“I got it, I got it!”

Eugene & Edmund work together and reel in a trout! They row back to shore, and arrive a few moments before Varian & Hector. While Adira measures their fish, Varian suddenly starts to swim erratically.

“MWUHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!”

The group looks at Varian, who is laughing like an evil villain. Pulling him out of the water, Varian is shaking with laughter:

“HAHAHAHAHA GET OUT!!! THAT TICKLES!!!”

Reaching down his shirt, Varian pulls out a fish. It’s a bass, and it’s much bigger than Eugene’s trout! Varian sighs in relief. Quirin worriedly asks Varian if he is ok.

“Yeah, I’m fine. It just felt really weird! Oh! Aunt Adira, does this fish count? It’s really big!”

Adira laughs, telling him it does. Varian high fives Hector for their victory. Raps wonders if it should count, since they didn’t catch it the way it was intended. Quirin laughs at this:

“Well, it’s Adira’s call. Besides, this way the final competition will be much more exciting, won’t it?”

Adira agrees. But before they can compete, Hector & Varian must dry off. She sends them inside to get ready for the final competition, the obstacle course. Quirin asks her who she thinks will win. Adira thinks for a bit:

“If you want my honest guess, I think it will be Fishskin and King Edmund. Hector is faster than both of them, but Goggles has no practice running over difficult terrain. Besides, you and I both know that King Edmund and Fish-Skin being related makes them more in sync. We’ve seen it times and times again back in the Dark Kingdom. There is no substitute for that kind of compatibility!”

Quirin looks surprised at this.

“Adira, did I never tell you? Hector is-”

Rapunzel cuts him off:

“Hey! I think Hector and Varian need some help finding towels inside! Why don’t you two go and help them, while Pascal and I check over the course again? Ok?”

Startled by Rapunzel’s sudden request, Quirin and Adira head inside. Rapunzel sighs in relief. She then looks worriedly at the course before turning to Pascal:

“That was really close, Quirin almost told Adira! This is bad, Pascal. You heard Adira, right? If Hector and Varian win the competition she’ll be suspicious about their compatibility! If she starts to ask questions, it will only be a matter of time until Varian finds out, he’s too smart for that! They can’t win, we have to…we’ll have to sabotage them, so Eugene & Edmund win!”

Pascal looks at her disapprovingly. He is not ok with that, but Raps is so scared of causing Varian grief that she powers through her guilt. Looking over the course, she sees a part that she can alter.

“If I sabotage this part of the final tower climb, it will fall off the side! They won’t be able to complete the climb to catch the flag. At least Varian will be able to have fun with the rest of the course…”

When Hector & Varian are dried off, everyone heads outside again. Rapunzel is putting lots of hay around the towers. Eugene asks her what she is doing. Rapunzel responds that the hay is to cushion any falls. She doesn’t want anyone to get hurt, after all. The group heads to the starting line, and Adira goes over the course, explaining the obstacles to Varian and Eugene as they never participated before.

“Ok, everyone! There are two identical courses, one for each team. First you swing over the lake to the landing platform and then you make your way over the smaller platforms to the balancing section and lastly you climb the tower. The father must stay on the tower while the son goes for the flag. Whoever grabs the flag first wins! Simple enough, right?”

The teams get ready. Varian looks nervous, but Hector gives him an encouraging grin. Eugene and Edmund give each other a confident look. Adira starts the countdown:

“3… 2… 1… GO!”

Both teams race off! Hector and Eugene reach their ropes first and swing onto the platform with ease. Eugene throws back the rope and makes room for his father to land. Hector on the other hand stays put and catches Varian as he swings. 

Eugene is jumping from one tiny platform to the other and making his way to the balancing beam. Looking back he sees Edmund do the same, but he is slower due to his weight. Eugene asks if Edmund is ok, but Edmund says he will manage.

“I shouldn’t have worn my armor for this!”

Hector and Varian are not far behind them. Hector expertly jumps from one platform to the next, years of living in a tree showing their results. Varian however is lagging behind. He never did much parkour, unlike the Brotherhood members and the former thief. He barely makes it over the balancing beam without falling into the water. 

Rapunzel is running around the lake to keep up with them, they are fast! Adira is struggling to keep up while pushing Quirin’s chair, falling behind. Rapunzel tells her she will keep an eye on who wins and runs after the men. Both teams made it to the other side of the lake and reached the towers. Raps gets nervous, hoping her sabotage will work as she planned. She sees both teams climb to the top, with Eugene and Edmund in the lead. They start to climb, and reach the final stretch: A pole straight up, with the flag on top. Eugene is a third of the way up, and Hector realizes Varian won’t be able to outclimb him.

“Kid, he’s fast! You got any ideas?”

Varian looks determined at the flag, and turns to Hector:

“Throw me!”

Hector picks Varian up and throws him up the pole! He flies past Eugene and makes it halfway to the top before he grabs hold to climb himself. Suddenly they hear a crack!

To Rapunzel’s horror, the pole she sabotaged starts to topple with Varian on it! With a scream, Varian holds on as parts of the tower come down. Luckily, the pole fell into the ropes holding up the flags and stayed put, precariously suspended over the edge. One part of the tower has fallen into the hay at the bottom, sticking straight up and having dangerous points. If Varian falls on it he would be skewered!

“Help me!”

Varian is hanging from the pole, halfway out. Hector tries to reach for him, but he is too far. Hector tries to stand on the pole to get to Varian, but it cracks even more, making him stop. The men are so busy trying to get to Varian that they haven’t noticed the dangerous spike below. Eugene and Edmund are trying to help, throwing a rope to Varian. Varian tries to grab it, but his hands slip, and he falls! Hector jumps after him, grabbing Varian with one hand while grabbing & holding on to the tower with the other. The weight is too much, and the pole starts to break further! 

Rapunzel runs near the catapults made earlier and gets an idea. She runs up to the one made by Varian and Hector and aims it at the hay pile. Realizing she has no ammo, she searches around and in her pockets, finding Quirin’s diary. She loads it up and fires it! The diary shoots across the field, and hits the spike dead-on! It dislodges from the hay and gets knocked out of the way.

The pole gives way completely, and Hector and Varian fall into the hay. Eugene & Edmund start digging them out, fearing the worst. After a few moments, both of them emerge from the pile, unhurt. Rapunzel runs up to them and hugs Varian.

“Are you ok? I’m so sorry, Varian! I never should’ve messed with your course, I swear I didn’t think you would get hurt! Are you hurt? Oh, what did I do? I’m sorry!”

Varian is confused.

“Wait, you sabotaged our course? You caused the pole to fall? Why?”

Adira and Quirin caught up, and heard Rapunzel’s confession. They are very angry with her. While Quirin fusses over Varian, Adira scolds the princess.

“That was very dangerous, Princess. I’m very disappointed in you. I understand you want Fish-skin to win, but that’s no-”

“That’s not… I didn’t want Eugene to win, I needed Hector and Varian to lose! I-”

Eugene looks disappointed, while Varian looks hurt.

“You wanted us to lose? Why?”

While the others are trying to understand, Quirin sees something in the hay:

“What is… Is this my old diary? What is it doing here?”

Rapunzel looks down with guilt.

“Pascal found it after you fell. I… read part of it. I’m sorry… I know the truth.”

Quirin is confused. Varian is getting upset. He asks what she is talking about. Eugene asks if it’s why she sabotaged the course. Under the barrage of questions, Rapunzel can no longer stay silent.

“I’m sorry, Varian. The diary… Quirin… Quirin is not your father. Hector is. I sabotaged the course because I was afraid that, if you won, you’d realize how much you and Hector have in common and would find out you’re his son!”

Eugene is shocked. Adira’s eyes open wide in surprise. Rapunzel is starting to tear up, feeling awful about the whole situation. All three are looking at Varian, worried about his reaction. After a few moments, Varian speaks up:

“You… you sabotaged us, to hide that?”

“Raps, I… uh...”

“I already knew that?”

Rapunzel’s eyes snap open again. She looks at Varian, confused.

“WHAT?”

Varian rubs his head, a bit sheepish:

“Yeah… mom and dad told me I was “an uncle’s kid” when I was 4 years old. I had noticed I didn’t look anything like dad, so I asked mom why. She was never one to lie about stuff and just told me. Dad gave me a lollipop after, I think. It was never a big deal.”

Rapunzel finally relaxes, all tension leaving her body. She is so relieved that Varian isn’t upset! But she asks if Varian knew, why did he still call Quirin his dad? Varian first looks at her strangely for that question, but remembering Rapunzel’s history with parental figures he sighs.

“Dad raised me since the day I was born, with nothing but love! I’m his son no matter what, and he is my dad! No offense, Uncle Hector.”

“None taken, kid. I never wanted a kid and Lord knows I have no business raising one. You’re fun now that you’re older, but when kids are small I need to be able to give ‘em back to someone else. I need my ‘me’ time!”

The group laughs at that, mostly in relief though. Standing up, Rapunzel asks what they should do now. Adira puts her hand on Raps’s shoulder, and gives her a friendly yet stern look.

“First, as punishment, you are going to repair the course. Then we can have a proper race and crown the winner! Meanwhile, the rest will have some apple pie!”

"Scuse me! Pardon me! Comin' through!" Timon shouted as he was riding on Pumbaa as they and the Robin Williams Lost Boy walk by me and Olaf who was drawing. "Hey Frosty! Shake a leg, would ya?" Timon asked. "It won't make a difference. It's all about the wrist." Olaf spoke holding a pencil when Genie bursts out of the drawing, sending Olaf into pieces. "Oy! I haven't seen anyone fall apart like that since Rome." Genie stated as he uses his magic to put Olaf back together. "Much better." He stated.

Meanwhile Prince John from Robin Hood, Thomas O'Malley from The Aristocats, Chicken Little, Milo Thatch from Atlantis: The Lost Empire, Happy, one of the Seven Dwarfs, the Headless Horseman, and Gaston are freshening up in the men's room.

Celebrating 100 Years of Disney

@the-world-hopper

PJ Mills was taking Lucas with him to see the Walt Disney Studios to celebrate 100 years of Walt Disney magic that his films have given. He lands the Sky Bison outside as he lands on the ground.

"Here we are, Lucas... The Walt Disney Studios." I said to Lucas showing him the Walt Disney Studios.

"Can you believe it's been 100 years that Walt Disney had made his dream here?"

[tangledbea]

Do you have any ideas for how a live-action remake of Tangled could be good at the very least?

The only way I could see it being even remotely good is if they don't do the plot of Tangled, but the plot of the shelved version of Rapunzel that Glen Keane was working on before it got changed. The one with Bastion.

But as it is, Tangled relies too much on slapstick comedy and animal sidekicks, neither of which translate well into live action, to be any good. Attempting to include a CGI sword fighting horse will be awkward as hell, and removing Maximus and his role entirely will flatten out the story. Look at what Disney did with the mice in Cinderella.

Or every single character in The Lion King.

In an attempt to make them realistic, to fit in the live action world, they stripped them of all personality. Real chameleons aren't nearly as cute as Pascal is, and Maximus will have to either be just a normal horse or the most out-of-place character in the entire movie.

I'm also terrified that they're going to end up pander casting, like they did with Emma Watson as Belle.

It's just... no. No, it's no good, no.

So... Would Tangled B have an animal companion like Rapunzel has Pascal the Chameleon?

No, in this au he won't have one, at least I haven't thought of one for him :)
