Helloz! I usually only write stories for A Series of Unfortunate Events, but I LOVE Tangled. So here goes nothin'!

How did Eugene know Rapunzel was the lost princess?

"Flower gleam and glow

Let your power shine

Make the clock reverse

Bring back what once was mine

Heal what has been hurt

Change the fate's design

Save what has been lost

Bring back what once was mine

What once was mine"

She opened her eyes, and he unwrapped her hair from his hand. "Oh…" He looked at his healed hand and began to hyperventilate.

"Please don't freak out!"

"I'm not freaking out. Are you freaking out? No I'm just very interested in your hair and the magic qualities that it possesses. How long has it been doing that exactly?" He was freaking out.

"Forever, I guess." She told her story and he told his. When he left to go get more firewood, his mind raced.

She had been locked in that tower her whole life? That was crazy! What kind of person would keep someone trapped like that? Oh well. It's probably just her overprotective mother.

When they got to the kingdom, her hair was braided, and the dancing had begun, he watched her. He saw some people by a mural on a wall and looked at it. It was of the king, queen, and the lost princess. Rapunzel's gesture to him to join the dance brought him back to her. He was pushed by the horse Maximum.

As he danced, realization flooded over him. Rapunzel was 18 years old today. It's the lost princess's birthday today and she'd be 18. The picture of the lost princess looked like a younger Rapunzel. She had the same hair and eyes. Then, he remembered something he had heard about the queen. She had gotten sick and was given a magic flower that could heal the sick and wounded. That's just what Rapunzel's hair did! He couldn't believe it.

He looked at Rapunzel and met her as the music ended. He looked into her eyes and knew he was right.

Rapunzel was the lost princess.

But how? The princess had been missing all this time and she's just been in her tower. Oh my gosh. He rowed the boat onto the water. When he had first met Rapunzel, she had been so scared she'd get in trouble with her mother. This "mother," that Rapunzel thinks she is, is the one that kidnapped her as a baby!

He watched her smile. This woman-this evil woman-had been rumored to be greedy. He knew by this that this woman would do absolutely anything to get Rapunzel back. He couldn't let that happen though. She was the princess. She should be in the castle hugging her parents. He had to take her there before it was too late. Wait. If he did that, he would basically be turning himself in. He shook his head. As long as she was safe, he would be happy. Could he give her up though? Could he give up the girl he loved like that? Surely, if he did, he would never see her again.

Well? The italics are his thoughts. Well at least all of the italics not counting the song. What'd you think? Please review!
