This was inspired by the movie "Tangled". I also added some facts from the original book and some twists of my own. I don't own the Backyardigans, Janice Burgees does. I also don't own the movie Tangled, Walt Disney studios does.

Long ago, a single droplet of sunlight fell from the Heavens down to Earth. This little droplet planted itself into the grass growing a rare herb flower called the "Golden Light." This flower bloomed on the edge of a mountain and had the power to heal the sick and wounded. The flower had glimmering golden peddles dotted in pink spots and a rosy glow around its unique appearance. Only moments after, a cruel crocodile came up on search for the "Golden Light." Gothel was her name, she had been waiting for this flower for many years and now that it was hers, she hoarded its powers to keep herself young and ravishing. And so, every day, Gothel climbed the mountain and sang a distinctive song to trigger the flowers powers to reverse her age.

So on, centuries past and a kingdom was built ruled by a beloved King and Queen. Happily, Queen Luella was to have a baby, only, she got ill – deathly ill where no doctor was able to help. The clock was ticking and the King was desperate to save his wife so he sent out his loyal guards: Tyrone and Pablo, to find a cure, or in this case, a flower. Tyrone and Pablo got their troops and began to search across the landscape. Gothel, at the time, was using the flowers power when she heard Tyrone and Pablo in the distance. Quickly, Gothel sprinted from the scene only to leave the flower unprotected. Tyrone and Pablo dug out the flower and brought it forth to the King. The "Golden Light" was melted down into a tea so the weak dying Queen could drink it easily. The power from the "Golden Light" saved the Queen as she returned to full health and a beautiful baby girl was born.

The child was flushed with a pink colour and shadier pink polka dots. The child also had golden glimmering hair. Since no one in their unknown species had spots dotting their face or hair, the King and Queen named the child Uniqua. She was their little flower. The kingdom erupted with cheers as they crowned their newborn daughter with a golden crown intertwined with silver and it was encrusted with pink diamonds. To celebrate her birth, the King and Queen launched a pink glowing circular lantern dotted in pink spots. That evening, the night of the birth of the Princess, Gothel came. She slipped into the child's room and crept upon the sleeping Princess. She began to sing a drifting tune:

"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 Fates' design

Save what has been lost

Bring back what once was mine,"

Gothel watched as the child's hair began to glimmer and glow. She picked a strand full of the child's hair into her worn hand as she snipped it off. Instantly, the hair stopped glowing as it became dead. Gothel gasped realising without the power, she would grow old.

The crying awoke the King and Queen. They instantly shot up and opened the door to their daughter's room just in time to see Gothel escape with the Princess in her arms. Their daughter, the Princess, was kidnaped on the night of her birth where she was crowned. Tyrone and Pablo rapidly searched the kingdom's land along with many other guards. When the Princess wasn't found, the kingdom was never the same. Every year, on the Lost Princess' birthday, the whole kingdom sent pink spotted circular lanterns into the sky hoping that one day, their Lost Princess will return.

Meanwhile, deep in the woods, Gothel raised the child as her own.

"Why can't I go outside, Mommy?"

"The outside world is cruel and vicious place. You will stay in this tower where it is safe and nobody can take advantage of you. Do you understand my flower?"

"Yes Mommy,"

The child's hair dimmed down and Gothel returned young. She had found her new magic flower but this time, she was determined to keep it hidden. And so, Gothel visited every day and raised the child. But, even the walls couldn't hide everything for every year on her birthday; the Lost Princess crept down the stairs and opened the window to watch the floating lanterns.
