This has got to be the strangest day of my life. Firstly I am forced into taking a young girl with 70 feet of golden hair to see the "floating lights", then I am forced to sing infront of a group of thugs about my dreams.
To top it off this girls hair GLOWS WHEN SHE SINGS! It led us out of a cave that we nearly drowned in and healed the cut I got in my hand when I tried to move some of the rocks in the cave.
Now i'm sitting next to her infront of a campfire and can't help but look into those emerald eyes of hers.
"You can't tell anyone about this okay" I said leaning towards her "It could ruin my whole reputation." I added.
"Argh... we wouldn't want that!" Rapunzel replied leaning towards me aswell.
"Well a fake reputation is all a man has." I told her jokingly. She's the first person i've met that hasn't laughed at my real name and background. And she doesn't seem the type, that's what makes her special.
We laughed in sync though her laugh was more warm and adourable then mine. She looked at me with those amazing emeralds of hers. I felt my cheeks burn up and realized i was blushing! I coughed awkwardly and stood up. There was no way I was going to let her see me like this.
"Well...um...I...I should get some more firewood." I stuttered out. Firewood! 'Was that the best thing I could come up with!' I thought mentaly scolding myself as I began to turn away from her and walk away flexing my newly healed hand.
"Hey..." Rapunzels soft voice called from behind me. I immediately turned around to meet her gaze. "For the record, I like Eugene Fitzherbert much better then Flynn Rider." I was partly taken aback by this. "Well, then you'd be the first, so thank you." I replyed before walking away, once again examining my hand, there wasn't even a scar!
Whilst looking around for wood I noticed one of my wanted posters, my eyes immediately went to the nose. It was straight at the top then suddenly went all upturned like a pigs snout. "Now they're taking the mick!" I muttered to myself whilst ripping it off the tree crumpling it into a ball and stuffing it in a nearby bush. When I continued to look for firewood I let my mind wander to Rapunzel and what tommorow might bring. 'oh PLEASE! Your not really falling in love are you?' a voice at the back of my mind asked. 'So what if I am! Falling in love isn't that bad is it?' I told it. 'You met her this morning! And she's only here because of that stupid deal! Don't forget why your realy here Rider! You just need to take her to those lights, get her home and get back that crown!' I sighed in annoyance partly because I was arguing with myself but mainly because of how stupid this voice sounded.
'Have you ever thought about how there might be more important things then just money? Like having someone to spend your life with?' I replied. 'FINE! Go fall in love but you have to tell her how you feel though and this I cannot wait to see!' The voice spat.
'I can do that! I'm sure Flynn Rider will find a way!' I said boldly. But who was I kidding. NO ONE! How am I going to tell her that I might love her in a way that won't freak her out?
After collecting enough firewood I began to walk back to Rapunzel. I struggled to think of something witty to say so went with the first thing that came to mind. "So...hey can I ask you something?" because I wanted to be polite "Is there any chance that I'm gonna get super-human-strenght in my hand? Because I'm not gonna lie, that would be stupendous!" I mustered up the most charming grin that I could but it soon fell when I realized she was standing with her back to me looking into a clearing that lead deeper into the wood. I immediately grew concerned "Hey, are you okay?" She snapped around and flustered for an answer. "Oh, sorry yes just um... lost in thought I guess." I shrugged 'that seemed like a good enough answer' I thought before continuing. " I mean because heres the thing superhuman good looks i've always had 'em, born with it! But super-human strength can you imagine the possibilities of this I mean come on..." I stopped talking when I noticed Rapunzel was still looking over her shoulder at the clearing with a worried expression on her face. "Are you sure your okay?" I asked hearing the concern in my voice.
Her head quickly turned around to face me "Yeah i'm fine and no sorry I don't think your gonna have super-human strength." She answered whilst sitting on the other side of the fire to me. I watched as the light from the fire danced on her beautiful face making her eyes stand out even more, they widened with shock as she looked at something infront of me.
"Eugene, be careful!" She shouted. I looked down at the cause of her worry and realized the branch I was using to move the firewood around the fire was set alight and leaning on the grass. I had been to busy looking at Rapunzel to notice that I loosened my grip on it. Without hesitation I lifted it up and put it on the fire, luckily the grass had not set alight, after the shock was over we both fell into a fit of laughter. "So no super strength? Oh to bad it could have come in handy." I said to break the laughter.
"I doubt it would have been handy more of a way to get you in trouble." She finaly answered with a bright smile. I placed my hand over my heart and scoffed in mock offence "Are you saying i'm a bad person?"
"No I'm just saying if you don't want to be noticed by guards then having super strength won't help." She replied calmly.
"Oh." I said in an understanding manner. She began to rub her eyes sleepily and I could feel a yawn coming on. We both agreed to go to bed and I layed down and watched in awe as she made a blanket out of her hair I caught a last glimpse of her eyes, they were filled with something fear? Confusion? Before she turned to lye facing away from me. Whatever it was she didn't seem to want to tell me about it but I was determined to find out.
