Flynn's the Thief

A/N: If Tangled became a TV series, this is one of the episodes I would want them to air. Take note Disney: we want more Tangled! If you agree, tell it to Disney in a review. Let's get some ideas on the table people! Anyway, I don't own Tangled, the characters, or anything else that may get me in trouble for copyright stuff. Please R&R!

"Maximus, you can't tell the princess anything. You just go back to the palace and leave me here, okay?" Eugene told his trusty horse, Maximus. Maximus still didn't trust Eugene completely, even though he and Rapunzel had been dating for almost a year. The horse stayed in front of Eugene, not moving an inch. "Maximus, it's okay. I'll be back at the palace soon and I won't cause any trouble, alright?" Eugene assured Maximus. He still wouldn't move, and Pascal appeared from behind the horse's ear. He gave Eugene a dirty look of suspicion. This was a jewelry shop after all; an ex-thief was bound to cause trouble.

"Fine, I'm going to tell you guys what I'm here for then I'll turn around and you'll magically disappear, okay? And you tell Rapunzel nothing!" Maximus and Pascal exchanged looks then turned back to Eugene. They seemed to shake their heads and say "go on and tell."

"Alright. I'm going to get a ring for Rapunzel. Don't tell her though." Maximus looked confused, as did Pascal. Eugene sighed. "I'm going to ask her to marry me tomorrow night." Maximus whinnied in delight; Pascal did a little dance on the horse's head. "Don't tell Rapunzel," Eugene reminded them. He turned around and the duo was out of sight.

"Now for the best diamonds in the kingdom of Corona." He walked into the small shop where racks of jewels sat around the walls. This was definitely thief heaven, and the character of Flynn Rider started to make its way to the surface. All these jewels and gold could be his, all with a swipe of the hand. Five-finger discount jewels were the best kind.

The owner walked in just then. "Hello, welcome to Jackie's Jewels, the finest rings and necklaces in Corona! How can I help y-...hey, aren't you the princess' boyfriend?" the owner, apparently named Jackie, asked.

"Uh, yes," Eugene replied.

"Well, what can I get you? Something for the princess?"

"Actually, I would like to see one of your finest diamond rings," Eugene said.

Jackie's face lit up. "A diamond ring...an engagement ring...for the princess?"

"Shh, don't say anything. If you do, I will personally hit you with a frying pan," he threatened.

"Of course, I won't say a word." She went towards a shelf with many diamond rings placed on it. They looked expensive, and obviously were expensive based on the price tag attached to them. Eugene looked on the shelf, not knowing which one would win Rapunzel's heart. Then one white diamond with silver plating caught his eye. And, of course, there was no price tag on it.

He picked the ring up. "How much is this?"

"Twelve gold pieces," she informed. "But for you, only ten pieces."

Eugene reached into his satchel and pulled out the money he'd brought...nine gold pieces. "Dang it," he muttered.

"Something wrong, sir?"

He looked up at Jackie and froze for a second. Then he said, "No, no, it's just getting late and I need to head back to the castle. I'll just come back tomorrow." He put the ring back on the shelf...loosely.

"Alright, you better. We need a prince in this kingdom, you know." They laughed and Jackie turned around to walk back behind the counter. With one swift movement of his hand, Eugene swiped the ring and stuck it in his satchel. Jackie faced Eugene briefly, but disappeared into the back of the shop. Flynn Rider was back on the surface and started to overtake him completely. He had five fingers, he deserved some discounted jewels. He snatched up some necklaces made of pearls, sapphires, and other gems. Quickly he made his way out of the shop, his satchel heavy with riches. Oh, how great it was for him to get back to thieving!

"I won't only be the man who's going to marry a princess, but I'll also come into the family rich! This is a lucky day for me, the luckiest man alive!" Flynn shouted as he ran back to the palace.
