"Hey boy! Come clean these tables up! Move it!"

"Yes sir." A boy hurried with a damp towel to wipe down the empty tables that were just occupied not mere moments ago. He wanted to avoid a rambling from his boss for the moment.

The bar was somehow more busy than usual that evening. But the young boy shouldn't be so surprised. He should feel lucky that it was steady because if it wasn't, he would not have a job. He needed this job anyway to save up money. That still did not stop him from dreaming of doing something else. After all, he hoped to save up enough currency to take with him so he can go on a ship.

The young teenager, Danny he was called, wanted very much to achieve this goal since he had one certain thing on his mind. He wouldn't do this job in the first place if he didn't need the money so bad. He was living in a town called the lower Corona that was considered a little run down by some standards. He was born here so it was home to an extent. It had its share of problems but that wasn't the reason he wanted to leave so badly. Most of the land was called Corona and it had a small kingdom that was ruled by a really cranky old lady named Gothel. Her ruling was one of the major reasons this place wasn't exactly in tip top shape.

"Hey I need a refill here!" A man ordered from another table.

"Coming!" Danny shouted and taking a mug from the main counter, he hurried as quickly as he could to the already drunken sailor.

"So, I suppose the old queen Gothel is still haven't given up yet huh?" One of the men at table questioned to his companions while Danny refilled their cups.

"No. That old lady sure is desperate even though she's been searching for a few years now. She's convinced her flower is still in town." Danny suddenly froze at this exchange and taking notice of his scared expression, the drunken man snickered, "What's wrong boy? You afraid of old queen Gothel?"

"What? No way!" Danny shook his head and turned to walk away quickly. He could hear the harsh laughter behind him,

"I say he is. His face turned just about as pale as his hair." One of them said before more laughter was heard. This only made the teenager to roll his emerald eyes. It was true his hair was a strange hair color; it was pure snow white. But he was telling the truth; he wasn't afraid of the ruler of this island. What he was more concerned with is the fact she hadn't given up on searching for this "flower."

He didn't have time to dwell on this because…

"Hey kid! We have paying customers and they'll leave unless you move your lazy ass!"

…his job demanded his full attention.

"Got it." Danny sighed rubbing his white hair and went about his business.

By the time midnight had nearly rolled around, Danny had just got done washing the dishes. He was achy and above all exhausted. As he put the last dish away, his boss came up, "All right kid, good work. Here's your pay." The burly man set a small bag that held some gold coins.

"Thanks." Danny accepted without another thought. He was too tired to make any remarks anyway.

"I'll see you in two days. Get some rest, boy. You've had a long night." Despite his hard exterior, his boss seemed a little genuine concern for him.

"I will, thanks again." Danny managed to nod and he made his way to the door.

He may be on the point of collapsing but he had to make it home first. One other thing this poor kingdom was suffering from was the crime rate. And the streets were crawling with thieves and rapists. The very few innocent citizens had to be careful if they should dare take a midnight stroll. Where he lived, he had to go past quite a few streets just to get home safely. Furthermore, he had to make sure no one was following.

Luckily, Danny had something most humans did not. He had the ability to turn invisible or intangible for an extended period of time. He was low on energy so he would had to use his special power only on emergency. He was grateful for this power since he could come and go without being seen. He couldn't be sure if he was born with it or something. He didn't remember. The only thing he did know was he made sure no one knew of this. It was already bad enough most folks around find him to be peculiar. At least he was ignored for the most the point.

Danny shifted his eyes down the streets and considered himself fortunate to know that there was no one prowling the streets. At least this one as far as he was concerned because he still had more streets to go down. Ignoring his aching feet, and placing the bag within the folds of his white shirt, he started to walk in one direction towards his destination.

Twenty minutes went by and he was out of town into a small forest. Danny looked behind his shoulder to make sure there was no one on his track. He breathed out in relief to know he was considered auspicious tonight. He carefully pushed away some thick shrubbery that was in the way of a small cliff side which would have been invisible to the naked eye due to the trees. But a small hole was revealed and it was large enough to admit one person at a time. Danny ducked down and made sure that the thick bushes were covering the hole before he continued his trek.

He made it to the other side of the tiny cave and was relieved to see a small cottage standing near a cliff. His home was one of the best because it looked out on the ocean and it was peaceful looking. He walked over and stopped at the foot of the door. He paused for a moment before he knocked on the door. For a moment, there was silence. Finally a female voice asked from inside,

"Who's there?"

"Danny, a boy with white hair and can turn invisible when he wants to. And he has a very good friend he looks up to like an older sister. Her name is Rapunzel."

The door opened to reveal a very pretty seventeen year old girl with very long blonde hair and spring green eyes. She was at the moment dressed in her pink and purple nightgown but it was clear she had been waiting up for him.

"Danny!" she said and hugged him close.

Danny welcomed her hug with ease and she helped him get inside before shutting the door quickly, "Sorry I'm late, but we were slammed as heck." He said and gave out a loud yawn to emphasize his point.

Rapunzel frowned in concern, "That busy?" she asked and she made her way to the kitchen.

"Yep. But I guess I was lucky. Got paid a decent amount." Danny took out the bag and had all the gold fall out on the table beside him. He counted it and smiled to see he was paid more than he thought. This was certainly one step closer to getting on a ship.

"That's good to hear." Rapunzel returned with a bowl of steaming soup and set it on the table. Danny glanced up and observed the girl for a moment. That's when he remembered the discussion between the drunken sailors. His smile disappeared and Rapunzel noticed it right away, "What's wrong?"

"Well, apparently Gothel hasn't given up yet on…looking for you." He could never lie to the girl he had come to love like his own family.

"Oh." Rapunzel immediately looked down at her long golden hair.

If Danny was strange for having the ability to be invisible, Rapunzel was in the same position. Her hair wasn't ordinary. Minus the fact it was super long that it dragged on the floor a couple of feet, it also healed the sick or injured. A few years back before Danny knew Rapunzel, the young girl was actually a princess to Corona.

Her mother nearly died while she was still pregnant with Rapunzel. Luckily a magical flower that was from the sun itself was given to the queen and she was healed. Then her daughter was born with magical blonde hair.

Unfortunately, an old greedy woman by the name of Gothel appeared and offered to be the baby's nanny. The king and queen agreed but they later died for unknown reasons when Rapunzel was only six years old. Because the little girl was too young to rule, Gothel took over the throne. The young princess then found herself under the rule of Gothel. The woman treated her horribly and only used her hair for her own gain. Rapunzel soon was miserable and wanted to escape from her prison.

When she turned twelve, she managed to escape the castle. She wasn't sure of where to go or where to hide for that matter. She had heard of ships come and go on the port and she figured she can have better luck there. But she bumped into Danny. The little boy was rather strange looking with his white hair. Then again, she had hair that healed anyone.

Maybe it was fate that brought them together. Danny was only ten at the time. Even before Rapunzel came into his life, he had one goal: he wanted to find his missing father. When he was very small, his father went up and left him and his mother. The only thing he left behind was a strange upside down pyramid necklace he entrusted to his one and only son. Danny kept a hold of it and never let anyone touch it. His mom had hoped her husband would return someday but she would never see that day. Danny's mother was killed by a thief who came into the house uninvited. She only managed to save her son by hiding him within a hidden wall before she tried to defend herself. The young boy was only eight at the time and he could only watch in utter horror that his mother died at her own expense.

The thief got away and Danny cried over his mother's body until a few neighbors came in. His mother's body was buried and since he had no other family members to take care of him, Danny ran away. He found an abandoned cabin on the cliff and decided to live there. Despite the sorrow of losing his mother, he still had to eat so he had no choice but to steal on the streets. It was every man or child for themselves. But the young boy hardly ever stole anything before. Most of the time he got caught when he first started out. He eventually figured out of how he could easily swipe bread or meats; especially when it came to using his invisible power. The one thing he swore was that he only stole food and also from anyone who can afford it.

The day he met Rapunzel, Danny was stealing more bread. However, the baker managed to spot him and catch up to him. The poor boy felt confident enough to not be invisible; big mistake, "This will teach you not to steal from me you little brat!" the baker kicked Danny one last time before walking back to his bakery. He had given him a harsh beating to the point the white haired boy could barely move.

He coughed up some blood and crawled into the alley to avoid the laughter and stares he was getting. He started crying which he did sometimes on an occasion. That's when he felt a presence beside him. He glanced up through his tear filled eyes and saw a young girl with super long blonde hair looking down at him with great concern.

"You okay?" she asked and Danny quickly tried to crawl away from her, "No, I won't hurt you. I can help you." She tried to reassure him and she leaned down beside him.

"How can you help you? Who are you?" Danny demanded with a harsh glare. Instead of answering his questions she simply replied with a question of her own,

"Do you know a place we can go in private?"

Danny wasn't sure if she was trying to trick him. But her spring green eyes only held kindness. His glare faltered a little and he could see she wasn't trying to mess with him. She looked open and honest. Not to mention she was dressed in what appeared to be some royal purple and pink dress. Really odd. Finally he nodded and she helped him to his feet. Making sure no one was following them, they hurried to the hidden cabin Danny lived in. Once inside safely, Rapunzel made way to wrap her long hair around the young boy's body.

"What are you doing?" he questioned warily.

"Trust me." She gave him a smile and began to sing quietly. What happened next made Danny's eyes widen in utter shock. The girl's blonde hair began to glow brightly. The young boy could only watch in surprise as he felt a warmth go through him and as if by magic, the pain went away in an instant. Finally, she took away her hair and gave him a gentle smile, "There, all better."

Danny glanced down and saw all the bruises and any past injuries was gone! He frantically searched himself to make sure he wasn't dreaming this whole thing. Not a single trace of where he had been hurt was to be found. He looked up at the girl with the strange hair, "How did you do that?" he questioned in utter amazement.

"For as long as I can remember." Was her only reply and she glanced off to the side.

"Um, I'm Danny. Who are you?" he finally said and was starting to warm up to her.

"I'm…Rapunzel." She replied hesitantly and Danny's eyes widen again.

"Rapunzel? As in Princess Rapunzel?" Danny now understood why she worse such fancy looking clothes. She was the princess of Corona.

"Was. I ran away."

"What? Why?" Danny questioned and was taken aback to see tears form in Rapunzel's eyes.

"Because my step mother is a cruel, CRUEL woman and she took over my parents throne after they died. I don't want to go back there ever again. Please don't send me away!" she pleaded once she turned back to him. She was on the brink of begging and he could see that she was scared he would take her back to the palace.

"I won't." He said to calm her fears.

"Huh?" Rapunzel questioned to make sure she heard right.

"Don't worry, I won't make you go back. I can tell you wouldn't lie. I heard rumors of how bad Gothel is. I promise I will make sure she never finds you. I live alone here anyway and no one but me knows about this place so it's okay." Danny explained and gave her a smile, "Plus since you helped me, I thought I help you."

Rapunzel gave him a smile and hugged him, "Thank you so much!" Danny returned the hug and he, for the first time, actually felt happy and not alone.

Once it had become clear that Rapunzel was to be staying, Danny had to make adjustments. For starters, it was clear that the once princess was not to go to town anymore. When he went back out to see if he can grab some food for himself and her, he found tons and tons of guards searching everywhere on the streets. He was even stopped by a few and they always asked where the princess was. Danny of course denied that he had seen such a blonde girl and would go about his business. He still had to be extra careful now since if the guards caught him stealing, they would arrest him on the spot.

Luckily, it turned out that Rapunzel was able to adjust. She proved to be a very good friend. She fixed up the cottage to the point it was comfortable to live in. Danny was never tidy since he kept the place a mess. But he still helped her out into making things organized. She could even cook and clean. Even though Rapunzel couldn't go to town to buy anything, she found a few berry bushes near the cottage and used that to make various foods for both her and Danny.

But the two couldn't live on berries forever and stealing food was getting harder and harder to do. Rapunzel then proved something that will help the two in their dire needs. She could make paintings. It was one thing she was never allowed to do back at the palace. Danny eagerly got her some paints and paper and she made beautiful paintings that seem to come to life. With these, he would sell them for good money and use that money to actually buy food.

For five years, it had been the two of them living in the hidden cottage no one knew about. Danny and Rapunzel became close like brother and sister. The guards searching for the princess soon died down but there was always at least a few who were scheduled to go about the town. Rapunzel would still continue to make her paintings for Danny to sell, but he soon decided that he needed a job. Lady Luck gave him a smile when he turned fourteen. A bar that sold beers and all kinds of alcohol to sailors and soldiers alike was looking for a helping hand. Danny took it right away for he was determined to get on a boat and find his father.

He told Rapunzel of this dream and she was supportive of it, "I really hope you find your father, Danny. He's probably out there somewhere." She told him with an encouraging smile. Despite some bleak times, Rapunzel always managed to remain optimistic. Danny came to cherish that and he always smiled whenever she did.

And now, here they were; one step closer to that goal. Rapunzel wanted to go with Danny of course for she had come to love him very much. They were about that age where they are no longer little kids. And Gothel still was set on finding the long lost princess.

"Don't worry, Punz, from what I count, we're not that far off of going on a ship together and sailing away." Danny said placing the coins back in the bag and getting up to set it in the secret compartment that held all the money he had been saving.

Rapunzel watched him walk over to a wall near the front door of their cottage. He knelt down and opened up a small door. This place was large enough to hold bags of money. Inside it were quite a few from the years of saving up.

"I can only hope. I know Gothel is getting impatient each year. It does make me wonder how long it will be before her guards find the secret hole and this cottage." Rapunzel thought aloud and shuddered at the possibility should what she said happened.

Danny closed the door and turned back to her, "Don't think that, ever. I always make sure no one finds out about this place. It's why I'm glad to have this invisibility power. And even if Gothel manages to find us, I will just use an ectoray in her face." He glanced down at his closed fist that started to glow green. One other strange power he had was the ability to blast things with a beam which he called an ectoray. Rapunzel had seen Danny angry only a couple of times. And she swore to herself that he even his eyes glowed brightly when he was very furious.

She sighed and nodded, "You're right. I just can't help but worry that's all."

"I'm not surprised. But like I said, don't worry. Hopefully with another two months, we should have enough money to get us off this place." Danny stood up and walked back to where Rapunzel was sitting. As he started to eat his hot soup, he thought over of how he was going to get Rapunzel on board a ship. Everyone would probably recognize her despite the five year gap she had been missing. Not to mention she was the only blonde with such long hair.

"Danny, I wanted to show you something." Her voice brought him out of his pondering thoughts and he turned to watch her go off in the small room she used as her personal bedroom. She then returned with a bundle, "I've been working on this just in case we're able to finally go." She held out the bundle and Danny saw it was a dark purple cloak. He fingered the fabric and could see all the stiches made within. He could tell Rapunzel had been working on this for a couple of years now.

"Really nice Rapunzel. This will definitely help you get onboard without any guards seeing you. But what about your hair?" He pointed to her locks in question and she only smiled,

"I just have to braid it up that's all. I think I managed to do it by myself several times while you were away." She answered and tugged on the long strands.

"Let's hope so." Danny said with a sigh and Rapunzel smiled even more,

"I also made you something." She rushed back into her room and returned with something else in her arms, "Here. I thought you might need new ones."

Danny was surprised to see Rapunzel had made him a new white shirt, some black pants, a belt, and new boots, "Wow, thanks Punz. I guess my old clothes are really getting…" he glanced down and finally took notice of how badly torn his old clothes were. Despite Rapunzel always washing them with care, they were at the brink of becoming rags.

"Kind of, yeah. Now come on, put them on!" Rapunzel was eager to see the new clothes she made to be seen on the boy she looked to like a brother.

"Okay, hold on!" Danny said waving his arms and stood up. He took the new clothes and walked to his room. He may have lived with Rapunzel for a while now, but he was still rather modest. In other words, he wasn't exactly comfortable walking around in the nude in front of her.

He soon had his new clothes on and he looked into the tiny mirror beside his bed. He smiled to see he looked much better. He fingered the pendent his father had given to him so many years ago. Rapunzel had asked about it and he simply replied it was from his father's. Since then, she never asked about it again. She always respected his personal space. He sighed rubbing his white hair and walked back out.

"Wow you look so handsome Danny!" Rapunzel said clapping her hands.

"Give me a break. All you did was give me new clothes." Danny waved her compliment away and felt his cheeks flush in embarrassment.

"But you do! I even got you a new band for your hair." Rapunzel held up a black band and motioned for Danny to sit in front of her.

He grumbled but only because he knew Rapunzel wanted to comb his long white hair. His hair was long enough to be in a ponytail which is how he kept it. By the time the two went to bed, it was nearly two in the morning. Danny was glad he had no work tomorrow. He could relax and spend time with Rapunzel. That night he dreamed about actually sailing out on the open sea. He seriously hoped he would find his father soon enough.
