[Rapunzel is sitting on the edge of her bed, looking at the floor, a look of embarrassment, shame, and sadness on her face.

Almost as if she's being yelled at by somebody...but nobody seems to be there, at least nobody anybody else can see.

Rapunzel tries to interject a few times, cut down by the invisible speaker.]


Mother, I--

...I told you I would be back...no, I haven't given it back yet, I...no, it's not--Mother, stop! I still trust him, you're wrong!

[After that, she winces and stares at the floor even more, like she's being yelled at louder.

She sighs quietly.]

...I'm sorry, Mother. I didn't mean to upset you...I just wanted to see the lights...

[She bites her lip, as the mother she believes to be there continues to scold and yell at her.]

...I promise, I won't leave again. I just...just one more day, please...

...okay.

[She looks sad as she looks up to face her invisible mother.]


...I love you more.

['I love you most. Now, come here, sweetheart, Mumsy needs a touch up, it's been sooo long since I've heard your pretty voice. Don't keep me waaiiting~!'

Okay, Mother. Let me go get the brush.

[She steps off the bed, forcing a look of cheer on, but that aura of melancholy remains as she grabs her brush, starts brushing, and singing.]

Flower, gleam and glow...

[The video cuts off just after she begins singing, just as her hair starts to glow, just as she lets that cheerful mask melt away again.

What, me? Trouble? Why would I be getting into trouble? Rapunzel, I'm hurt!

Well, I can't help you if you do get into trouble. I have a job at a tea shop! It's really fun, and the owner really likes Pascal too.

I know you don't want a job, but maybe you could find one that doesn't really have lots of supervision...just to keep you occupied?

[She smiles for a second, before frowning and looking at the floor.]

...Listen. I know I always keep my promises, but...well, we can't see the floating lights here...so...I feel like I should give your bag back to you. I mean, from what they say, it just goes back to me when we leave anyway...

I am plenty occupied!

[Lies, damn lies, and statistics.

When she mentions the bag, he gets serious. It's tempting...really tempting.

So he's surprised at what he blurts out.]


It's okay. It's...not really that important.

[She's surprised too. Her mother had told her that the bag was all Flynn wanted, that he'd drop her like a bag of bricks as soon as he had it...

So she breaks out into a huge grin before suddenly hugging him tightly.]

[Eugene yelps.]

Hey! Hey.

[He can't resist wrapping his arms around her...just a little.]

What's with the excitement?

Sorry, I just...I knew I could trust you. I knew she was wrong, I knew you liked me!

[;kldfadf Eugene has no idea how to respond to that so he's just going to pretend he didn't hear her.]

She didn't follow us, did she? I mean, you know, the cursed version.

No, I don't think she did...I'm glad.

...oh, I shouldn't say that, she's my mother...

Yeah, but that doesn't mean you have to want to see her all the time. Don't worry about it.

No, I know I don't...but you said it yourself, this is hurting her, my wanting to leave...

...she doesn't understand, and I don't think I can make her...

[He did say that and he's just about ready to kick himself for it.]

Not all hurts are bad, you know. Sometimes...sometimes that's just a part of...well, you know. Growing.

She treats me like I'm still 5...and I can't get her to understand that I'm 18, and I've never been outside! I can't protect myself if I can't learn...

...but she doesn't listen...asking too many questions makes her angry, I guess.

[This is venturing into unknown emotional territory; here there be dragons. Time for distraction!]

Can I get you something to eat? I bet you must be hungry.

[Eugene hurries to the kitchen and opens the icebox.

...nothing there. Which he should have known about, considering he doesn't have any money for groceries.

He could take her out...pick someone's pocket to pay the bill. No! No, he's done with thieving. He has to think of something else.]

Is everything okay, Eugene? I can help out, if you want!

NO! No! Everything is a-okay!

[He comes out of the kitchen and beams brightly.]

Why don't we go for a walk? Doesn't that sound like a great idea?

A...all right...

[She looks very confused and is now starting to worry about you a little, Eugene.]

A walk sounds nice.
