The sound of a gurgling creek was what woke me up. I sat up strait, the dewy grass tickling my legs.

Where was I?

I couldn't remember when I had come here or why I fell asleep in the forest. Looking around me, I knew something was amiss. Everything in the picture perfect woodland creek was brighter than real life, with less detail.

I looked down at myself. I looked fine, except I didn't remember putting on a green and blue medieval dress, with bows and lace everywhere.

Suddenly I noticed that there were two people sleeping near me. One was a beautiful young woman, with blond tresses I could see no end to. The other was a handsome gentleman resting on a rock. A butterfly gently landed on his back.

Just as I saw the two of them stirring, a horse whinnied and drew near to them with a stern face. He got closer, waking them up, and suddenly the man and horse were head to head, ready to beat each other up.

The blond female stepped in and stopped them, and I slowly walked over to the scene.

"Excuse me-" I barely said anything and immediately all three of them were staring at me. The horse whinnied, and the man mumbled something about being alone in the forest.

"Who are you?" The woman asks innocently. Her bright green eyes blinked once. "I'm Rapunzel, and this is Flynn. And the horse, well, we just ran into him."

"More like he ran into us." Flynn muttered. "Listen," he looked at me, "You haven't happened to see any wanted posters around, have you?" He looked both ways, suspiciously eyeing behind me.

"No." I said. "Actually, I have no idea where I am. I'm Nicole."

Flynn let out a breath of relief.

" Well, Nicole, we were just heading to the kingdom. Would you like to come with us?" Rapunzel twisted her hair around.

"Um, Sure!" I wasn't sure why, but I felt I was interrupting something big. But I went along with it; what else was I to do?

"Good!" Rapunzel giggled, looking like a little girl. "You haven't seen a tall woman with black hair and a red cloak, have you?" A look of shame crossed her face.

"No, in fact, I just woke up over there." I pointed to the creek, but Rapunzel had stopped listening after 'no' and was speaking to the horse, and Flynn was polishing a frying pan. I muttered, "Frankly, I don't know how I got here and why I feel so different. I must be going crazy."

I thought I was speaking to myself at this point, but that's when I noticed that someone, rather something, was listening. A small chameleon sat at my feet and gave me a smile. I smiled back. Since when did animals have personalities?

I looked up and noticed that Rapunzel was now seriously trying to convince the horse something. I started over to the creek again to wash my hands and face.

A few seconds later I heard Flynn get up and follow me.

"So Nicole," He flashed a charming smile my way, "You didn't see any wanted signs, or palace guards, perhaps looking for someone by the name of Rider?"

"No, I'm sure." I smiled. What was he so worried about? " So, are you and Rapunzel, um, together?"

A few seconds went by. I felt horrible for asking. It was NOT my business.

"No." He simply said. "Why?"

I looked up and saw his eyes looking up at me, even though he was leaning over the creek. "Cause, the way she looked at you. It was…it was cute."

He chuckled. And with that, I knew the conversation was over. I wasn't about to mention he was the same way when he looked at her. So cute. I felt like I was in a movie.

We slowly sauntered back to Rapunzel, who told us the horses name was Maximus. Flynn seemed to know Maximus, and from what I saw, he didn't like him. Rapunzel talked to them both and made them agree to not fight.

Afterwards she mentioned it was her birthday.

"Happy Birthday!" I exclaimed, feeling very awkward.

"Thank you!" She laughed and I saw a sparkle in her eyes. It was something I hadn't seen in a while. It was the pure innocence of hope that every birthday girl has once in her life.

When we got to the kingdom, Rapunzel gasped. It was so beautiful. I looked over at Flynn. His eyes were looking longingly at Rapunzel; completely falling for her.

And then it hit me like a big pile of bricks. I was in a movie. A Disney movie.

Tangled.
