The 46th Song

[tangledintower]

Oh, I sort of like this curse. It's nice, seeing all these people here...even if it's just for a weekend.

...Eugene? Maximus? Are you out there? I...I know you can't stay, but...well, I really miss you guys...

Oh, and anybody else who wants to say hi can say hi!

It seems really nice! There're so many people and they've all been super friendly.

[A pause followed by a sheepish laugh.]

Yeeeeah. Kind of an accident, but... [but really, telling yourself what you're going to do/have done doesn't seem clever] ...but it's nice! Climbing isn't very easy anymore and sometimes I still feel like I'm missing something really important, but I'm getting used to it.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

I know, isn't it great? I actually really like it here, all things considered...

[Rapunzel blinks and shrugs.] It does look sort of nice, though I bet I'd miss the climbing...Mother must have been furious, though!

[Heey, guess who still thinks Gothel is her mom?]

[magictears.livejournal.com]

[About that Mother thing...]

She... wasn't that happy, no. [ANYWAY let's talk about something else.]

So! Is Eugene here? I talked to him last time and he thought I was you until I explained things to him. [Er.] Not that I'm not you, because I kind of am, but you know what I mean.

[Rapunzel raises an eyebrow. Is everything okay with Mother? She's now a bit worried, but doesn't say anything.]

Well...no...he went back home about a month ago. I miss him...but I have this feeling that he's going to show up today. And even if it's only for a weekend, I'd like to be able to talk with him.

[She smiles and laughs.]
I know what you mean. I am you and you are me, after all!

You know, I think I like how you--er, I...us looks with the short hair!

[magictears.livejournal.com]

[If Flynn went home, then that means that--no, but there's only one at home. But then how many Pascals are there?]

You know Eugene... he'll be back before you can miss him too much and I know he wouldn't leave you--me--us alone for very long.

[Rapunzel mirrors... well, Rapunzel's smile and laughter.]

It's a good thing we know ourself so well or this would be really confusing!

You wouldn't believe how much easier short hair is! It doesn't take any time to brush it, hardly, and it never gets caught in anything or stepped on or tangled up!

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

I know. I'm sure he'll be back soon. He didn't really have a choice in leaving, either, so.

[She grins again.]

It looks really nice too. I never did like spending all that time brushing it, or stepping on it...

[magictears.livejournal.com]

Well... even if he didn't have a choice in leaving, he's not going to stay away.

[almost wistfully] Or tripping over it, or having it get in the way all the time. I guess I do miss it, kind of.

[Grin.]

Eugene really likes it.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

It's all right...I mean, maybe now that it's all normal, it'll grow back normally? I mean, that one little bit didn't, but maybe that was because it was the only little bit...

Well, Eugene has good taste!

[She giggles at that.]

[magictears.livejournal.com]

We'll see! It doesn't matter too much anyway. There's so much more to us than our hair and sometimes I don't know if many people know that.

[brightly] Of course he does! He likes us!

...How confused do you think Eugene would be if he showed up and there were two of us here at the same time?

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Exactly! Our hair is only one of the reasons we're so awesome!

[Somebody has more self confidence living in the City, and she grins.]

Oh, wow...I think his brain would blow up.

[magictears.livejournal.com]

["Awesome" isn't one of the first words Rapunzel would apply to herself, but okay! Awesome works! She outright giggles.]

Is it really bad that I kind of want to see that happen?

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

No, no, I do too!

[magictears.livejournal.com]

Then let's go look for him! Oh, and what's there to see here? I hardly saw anything last time before I had to leave and there has to be so much here with all of the different people!

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Oh, I can show you around, then! There's a lot of cool things to do here, if you know where to look.

[magictears.livejournal.com]

That would be amazing! Thank you so much!

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Oh, you're welcome!
