A/N: Once upon a time there was a 16 year old boy stuck in a Royal Jordanian flight for 12 hours and was so bored he watched a Disney movie called Tangled. I was that boy and I've always had a soft spot for Disney movies, but this movie really got to me and I instantly fell in love with it. Enjoy!
P.s. I own nothing, curse you Disney for owning everything!
Chap 1
This may come out as a shock to some people, but heavily guarded palaces aren't really the best of places to raise an 18 year old girl who's head over heels in love and just got her first taste of freedom not even a week and a half ago. That's bound to cause some problems, but we'll get to that later.
Meanwhile. . .the parties have ended, the kingdom is back to normal (but in a much happier mood, I may add), and Eugene was soar from head to toe. Now he's been known to be a party animal at times, but even Eugene was sick to his stomach by day 4 with all the festivities. The only thing that made it all worthwhile for him was the smile on Rapunzel's face when she hugged her parents for the first time, the way she looked at everything so innocently, and finally the thought that she had found the home she really deserved. Not to mention the fact that they spent every minute of every day together holding hands or going out on adventures.
And every day was a day of days with a girl like Rapunzel filled with adventure, emotion, and discovery.
But this morning, Eugene woke up to find his door unlocked, his room spotless, he has a throbbing headache, and a certain annoying (but lovable) chameleon's tongue in his ear.
"Aaahhhh!" he said flinching at the disgustingly wet feeling. "Pascal will you stop that!" he glared. "You know one of these days I-"
"Oh, finally you're awake." a relieved voice interrupted, coming from the closet. Suddenly a girl with beautiful green eyes, messy brown hair in a purple corset, and a silver tiara stepped inside hesitantly. Gee, wonder who that could be?
Eugene just sighed "Goldie, you know any one of the guards would throw me out on the street if they even heard you were in here." he said, trying to wipe Pascal's saliva out of his ear, who had a sly smile on his green face as if he enjoyed teasing him.
"You know I wouldn't let them." Rapunzel said with a smile of her own, holding up her infamous frying pan. She almost always kept at her side, though why was a mystery since there was no reason to with the Royal Guards at every corner. "Now get dressed Eugene, today's a big day!" she said, jerking at his arm to make sure he doesn't go back to sleep.
"Everyday's a big day to you Blondie." He flatly (and correctly) stated.
"No today's a really really big day." she said, resisting the urge to jump up and down with never ending excitement. "Today's our first day of etiquette lessons together, aren't you excited!"
Putting on the best smile he could while still half asleep, he said sarcastically "Oh yeah, I'm super excited." Regretting it quickly realizing she still didn't know what sarcasm was.
"Me too, now hurry up and get dressed I want to show up early." she replied, grinning widely.
Eugene just sighed again and did what he was told, he loved her to death (which is a real understatement considering he actually died for her) but there were times where he forgot who he was talking to and had to remind himself she was special. But he never complained, in his eyes she was perfect and wonderful in every way.
Rapunzel wasn't really what you'd call "special" but being stuck in a tower for 18 years with only a witch like Gothel and a chameleon for company isn't a great childhood experience. So she never really…. understood everything in life. So naturally her parents thought etiquette lessons would teach her a thing or two about living and acting like a princess.
As for Eugene, etiquette lessons might as well be another form of torture. Who cares which spoon was for desert or soup or the proper way to walk as if you had a broom stick for a spine. But her parents had insisted he take the lessons as well, thinking it would teach him a few rules and manners as well.
The king and queen didn't know it at the time, but not even they could imagine how wrong they were about to be.
