[Rapunzel looks absolutely miserable...she's pale, her nose is runny, and every time she tries to talk, she starts coughing and sneezing.

She groans a bit.]

What...what's wrong with me...? I...I've never felt like this before...

[She bursts into another coughing fit, which ends with several sneezes.]

Oh...oh dear, what was that...?


[As somebody who's never been sick before, she's scared and confused.]

[She's quiet for a minute, because she's coughing.]

...yes please...I'm scared, Eugene...

[Seconds later, a sound comes from Rapunzel's front door. Eugene, of course, goes straight for the doorknob, not bothering to knock.]

[She coughs and sits up from the couch. Pascal is on the arm of the couch, keeping an eye on her.]

Eugene...? Is that you?

[He'd have a snarky response, but she sounds so miserable that he just can't.]

Yeah, it's me. Wanna let me in?

Coming!

[She gets up and goes and gets the door, and yeah, she looks rather awful.]

[He instinctively recoils, just a little.]

Geez, you look like death warmed over.

[Foot, meet mouth.]

Oh, no, I am going to die?

[Way to go, Eugene. Now she looks absolutely scared and horrified.]

No, no, no! You are absolutely NOT going to die! Well, I mean, someday, yeah, we all will, but not today!

[k;aljd;fl WHAT DOES HE DOOOOOO? He looks around desperately.]

We should get you back in bed. On the couch. To rest.

[mentally slapping himself on the head]

So...so I don't have the plague, then?

[She's still scared, but she's a bit more relieved now.]

[For a girl who nearly beat him to death with a frying pan and held him captive with her hair, she could be so adorably vulnerable. He smiles reassuringly and starts to lead her back to the couch.]

No, you don't. It's just a cold. Come on, you need to rest.

A...cold? But I feel cold and warm...

[She follows him and immediately flops on the couch, startling Pascal.]

Mother never talked about colds when she told me about sicknesses...she only talked about plagues and deadly infections and viruses...

Or maybe a fever. I never could tell the difference. Point is, it's not going to kill you.

[He goes to get her some water.]

Seems like there's a lot your mom didn't tell you.

You know, apart from feeling sort of sick, this isn't so bad.

She wanted to protect me, I guess...

[You know, the more Eugene learns about Rapunzel's mother, the less he thinks he likes the woman.]

That is what mothers are supposed to do. Not that I have any first hand experience with that, but that's what I've been told.

[And that treads into uncomfortably personal territory. Time to put poor little orphan Eugene back in his box.]

So where's this roommate of yours? What's she doing leaving you alone?

Well, that's how my mother is. I don't know what other mother's are like, but I guess they must be the same...or motherlike people. Pascal isn't my parent, but you know, sometimes he scolds me.

Especially when I have bad ideas.

[She smiles a little before coughing.]

Oh, she had to go to her work, but she said she'd be back in a while...and she told me that I should just rest and drink a lot.

Right, she's one of those people. It's a good thing I don't have a job, isn't it?

Let me get you a glass of water.

Yeah it is. I'm glad you're around!

Thank you...

[He comes back fairly quickly with a glass of water. He perches delicately on the edge of the couch and hands it to her.]

Drink this, then you should try to sleep.

Thanks, Eugene...I think sleep will help...

[She smiles and takes the water, gingerly sipping.]

There are very few things that a good night's sleep won't fix.

You're right. Tomorrow, I'm sure I'll be all better.
