The 16th Sundrop [Video] [Contains Tangled Spoilers]

[tangledintower]

[A young woman with short brown hair, a chameleon on her shoulder, and a crown on her head is wandering around the fountain, looking a bit confused. It's funny, really, because she looks a lot like Rapunzel, even with the short brown hair...maybe it's the chameleon...

She sighs, frustrated, before sitting down on the edge of the fountain and looking at the chameleon.]

Well, we're definitely lost, Pascal. I told you we shouldn't have taken that shortcut of yours! Oh, Mother and Daddy are gonna be so worried...

[The chameleon goes red and squeaks in irritation, causing the girl (Who is clearly Rapunzel), to sigh again.]

Yes, I know it was my idea to give the guards the slip. But you know they worry way too much about me, I can't have fun or be myself when I go out with them! And you think so too.

[Pascal goes green again and nods.]

Besides, they scare off all the people. If I want to be a good ruler someday, I have to learn everything I can about the kingdom and its people! And the only way I can do that is going out and being with them! Besides, everybody in the city is nice, I like spending time with them...

[She sighs and frowns some more, slumping. Her crown slips a little bit.]

Well...I don't know where we are. Nothing looks familiar. I have no idea how we get back to the city, let alone the palace...I guess we should just wait...but that's booring...

[ooc: The Years That Never Were
What if Rapunzel had never been kidnapped by Gothel, or, if she had, what if she was found and brought back at a young age? What if she grew up with her real parents and was raised in the ways of royalty?

Rapunzel's personality and interests are exactly the same, she acts a little more...royalish. Pascal is still her best friend and companion. She's a little less naieve, a little more worldly, and apparently, her parents never quite got over that kidnapping attempt, so she's usually trailed by guards (which she hates).

Oh, and her hair got cut when she was younger, so its not magic. It can grow back to a normal length, but Princess Rapunzel likes her hair short.

She will not remember any of this come tomorrow.

I wish I had more icons so I could use all of Brunette!Rapunzel's expressions.]

[Rapunzel, there is a tiny filthy hobo child staring at you very skeptically.]

You talkin' to that frog thing?

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Chameleon.

[Pascal goes red in irritation. He dislikes being called a frog.]

And of course I am! He's my friend!

[jesusing-clown.livejournal.com]

Whatever he is. You're talkin' to 'im like he's talkin' back, animals don' do that.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Yes they do! Besides, he uses body language, since when they talk back, it's not like we can understand animal languages.

[jesusing-clown.livejournal.com]

You're readin' his body? You're weird, lady.

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

I am not weird! He makes it really obvious what he's thinking!

[Rapunzel puffs up, irritated. Pascal imitates her expression. Also, he turns orange.]

[jesusing-clown.livejournal.com]

-He changed colour there! I thought 'e was a diff'rent colour before, but he definitely definitely changed! Is that how you know what he's thinkin' and stuff?

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Yeah! He's a chameleon, he can change color to disguise into his environment...he uses color to show how he feels too, and believe me, you stick around somebody long enough you don't need to speak to them to know what they're saying!

[Pascal goes green, smiles, and nods.]

[jesusing-clown.livejournal.com]

Are kam-lions magic or somethin'?

He's... You really like 'im, huh?

[There are a few beeping noises before the sound turns on.] Bugger... Rapunzel? [And then, added self-consciously:] Ma'am? D'you...get an 'aircut, or sommat?

audio;

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Hello?

Oh, wow, I didn't know I had this with me...There's nothing like this back home...

audio;

[justcautious.livejournal.com]

...oh. D'you 'ave talkin' otters?

audio;

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

No, but Pascal talks to me in his own way, so...really, it'd be odd, but I've seen odder. I've been odder.

...hey, I made a pun! Heheee!

audio;

[justcautious.livejournal.com]

Don't reckon I could get much odder if I tried. [Presspresspresspress okay, video now, say hello to talking otter Chris.]

Hullo, luv! I mean, ma'am.

audio;

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Oh, you weren't kidding about being an otter! Oh well, hello!

[What with the whole 'magic hair' thing she used to have going on, this is not going to freak her out.]

audio;

[justcautious.livejournal.com]

Dunno if it'd be the sort of thing I'd kid about, really. S'a bit random, in't it?

audio;

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

I suppose...are you under some sort of spell?

[video]

[brokemysmolder.livejournal.com]

[Flynn wouldn't have commented, except he's so confused and shocked that he can't help himself.]

Pascal? What are you -- where's Rapunzel?

[Sure, the girl sounds kind of like Rapunzel, except more royalish, but she doesn't have the crazy magic hair. And Rapunzel doesn't have two parents; she just has Gothel. Is Pascal cheating on Rapunzel?]

[video]

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

[SURPRISE, FLYNN! Shes the Lost Princess! Remember what she told you about her hair losing its power after getting cut? TA DAAH!!

Pascal blinks and frowns, tilting his head at Flynn. Rapunzel stares at him before looking down and oh hey video! She grins and waves. Yes, Flynn, she knows who you are.]

Oh, I know who you are! You're that thief, Flynn Rider! Don't worry, I won't tell my parents I saw you.

[LOOK AT THAT CROWN. YOU STOLE THAT CROWN RIGHT.

This is gonna get awkward when she forgets all this tomorrow.]

[video]

[brokemysmolder.livejournal.com]

[HERP DERP he'd remember if he weren't all confused. HE STOLE THAT CROWN. HOW DID SHE GET IT? HOW DOES SHE --]

Your parents? But you can't -- she's go-- neighboring -- but the crown -- Huh?

[Brain. Broke.]

[video]

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Yes, my parents. You know, the ones that put out all the wanted posters of you, and whatnot.

[She snorts a bit and rolls her eyes.]

For the greatest thief in Corona, you're a little slow on the update. Sorry, no offense.

[PUT IT TOGETHER, FLYNN. PUT. IT. TOGETHER.]

[video]

[brokemysmolder.livejournal.com]

[Gears. Turning. Slowly.

Slowly.

Slowly.

DING.]

...Rapunzel?

[video]

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Yes! Princess, if you want to get technical...but I don't want to get technical.

[She laughs. Oh, Flynn Rider. She thinks you're cool because you're a FREE SOUL.]

[video]

[brokemysmolder.livejournal.com]

[Yeah, he must look real cool right now. He's still staring at her, trying to comprehend this. His Rapunzel... the LOST PRINCESS? How does that even...]

So...Your Highness. When did you...get back?

[video]

[tangledintower.livejournal.com]

Please don't 'your highness' me...I get too much of that...

Get back...? Oh, you mean from being kidnapped? How many times do I have to tell this story...

Well, when I was little, this old lady kidnapped me...and I wish I could remember all of it, but I was really little. And I think I was with her for...3 years? Maybe? I can't remember it all...before the guards found me and arrested her and brought me home. And ever since, my parents have been overprotective, and I'm pretty sure people have tried to kidnap me again since then.

But they never tell me...
