AN- Hi! So this is what, my third Tangled fan fic? Let's get started! But first, (Disclaimer) I DO NOT own Tangled! This is my short series of one-shots!

Chapter 1~Pascal

Once upon a time,

Seven-old Rapunzel was staring dreamily out of the only entrance of her home, a window, in a huge tower. Sitting around painting and reading the only three books in her library got boring after awhile. She wished, as a seven year-old wishes, to have a companion to talk to and play with. Mother wasn't really someone to play with.

Something small and quick caught Rapunzel's eye. She stepped back from the window, but then back to it after curiosity and fear took over her. She scanned the small balcony until the quick figure zipped back across the balcony wall into some vines. It changed color, blending into the moss, green vine. What was that? Rapunzel wondered.

She leaned out the window, towards the vine, and peeled back the vine to reveal a tiny, shaking green lizard, or to be more precise, a baby chameleon.

"Hey there," she cooed, trying to coax the baby chameleon out of its hiding place. "I won't hurt you."

The baby chameleon stopped shaking and chirped once, taking tiny lizard steps towards Rapunzel's now outstretched hand.

"There we go. Are you lost? Where's your family?" she asked.

The little chameleon's eyes began to sparkle with tears. "Aw, it's okay. I'll become your family if you want, how's that sound?" she suggested.

The chameleon nodded his head and Rapunzel retracted her arm back in the safety of her tower. Rapunzel decided that she would make a comfy little bed on her library's bookshelf for him in between two books propped against each other, forming a triangle.

"Do you have a name, little guy?" she asked. He shook his head. "Hmm, how 'bout the name Pascal?"

He nodded and it was official. His name was now Pascal. "Wait 'till Mommy sees you! She'll be so happy!"

~2 hours later~

"Eeeeeeek! Rapunzel, get down here!" Mother Gothel shrieked. Rapunzel sprinted down the stairs, knowing something bad was going to happen. "Yes Mother?" she asked, timidly. "What…is that?" she pointed towards something on the bookshelf. Uh oh. Pascal! "Um, that's my friend, Pascal. H-he's a chameleon…"

Mother Gothel put a hand on her forehead. "Rapunzel, how many times have I told you? You are not to bring disgusting creatures into the house! They can give you dieses and then what will I do if you die?"

"But he's not disgusting and he doesn't have any dieses! He's my friend, Mother, and he won't hurt me!" Rapunzel countered.

Mother Gothel sighed, before saying, "Rapunzel, dear, that may be so, but creatures like him are supposed to be outside. They can't survive long in captivity."

This was a complete lie, but Rapunzel did not know. She didn't want Pascal to die! She had to do the right thing. "C'mon Pascal, you've got to go outside." She picked him up cupped him in her hands. As she made the painstakingly short walk to the window, a plan came to her mind.

She would let Pascal come inside whenever Mother wasn't looking, and he could hide whenever she was around!

She told her plan to Pascal and he agreed. She hid him back in the vines she first found him in and tried to conceal the smile that played on her lips.

She would save her friendship with Pascal and Mother would never know the wiser.

AN~ Love it? Hate it? Tell me in a review! I don't quite know whether the last sentence '…Mother would never know the wiser.' Is right. The next one shot should be up in about two days. If you have suggestions for the next one-shot/chapter tell me in a review! Hope you liked it!
