Prologue
Heavy rain fell all around the city of Corona. People scurried across the streets. They were trying and failing to not get wet.
A young woman in her early twenties held her five year old son's hand. The woman smiled tenderly at her son. He was shaking from the rain. She took her blue vest off, and gave it to him. It was too big on him, but he took it gratefully.
"Mommy, I'm scared," the little boy said timidly. He looked up at her with his big brown eyes.
"It will be all right, Eugene," his mother replied. She rubbed her hands in his wet brown hair. "You are going to have so much fun at school."
Her son still looked skeptical at her. She shook her head. He was too much like his father, she thought with a pang of sadness. She coughed.
"Are you all right, mommy?" Eugene asked. His teeth began to chatter.
"I'm fine, son. Come on, let's go to school," she told him. They continued to walk toward the school house.
After a few minutes, they got to their destination. Eugene held his mother's hand tighter. "I don't want to go," he told once she opened the door.
"You are going to have a lot of fun, and you are going to make a lot of friends too," she reminded him. She gave him a hug. "I have to go now."
"I love you, mommy," he said. He gave her a kiss on the cheek.
"I love you too," she replied. She gave him a kiss back and opened the door. "Daddy is watching over you," she whispered in his ear quietly then she opened the door.
Eugene Fitzherbert closed his eyes. He had no idea how drastically his life was about to change.
Hi. This is my first Tangled fanfiction. I hope you enjoyed the first chapter. No worries the other chapters will be longer, and before I forget I do not own Tangled. It belongs to Disney. I do, however; own my OC that will be coming up soon. Please review. I would love to read what you think of this story. Constructive criticism is welcomed.
