Hey, guys, hey! What is up, my peeps? Ready for a brand new story? Well, here it is!
"Are you sure you'll be all right by yourself for the weekend, Eugene?" Rapunzel asked her husband as she packed her bag. She was getting ready for a spa weekend with her fellow princesses.
"Trust me, Blondie, I'll be fine," Flynn assured his wife, calling her by his special pet name for her, despite the fact that her hair was now short and brown rather than the seventy-foot mass of gold it had been when they met. "It's only three days. Besides, if I got lonely I could always hang out with the other princes, right?"
Rapunzel shot him a dirty look. "Just don't do anything crazy, all right? I don't want a repeat of last year's Christmas Eve stag party."
"Hey, in my defense, I didn't know that Aladdin had spiked the egg nog," Flynn replied. "And besides, Professor Ratigan was pretty cool about me hijacking his dirigible."
"COOL about it? He was practically foaming at the mouth! He stomped right up to Mickey and demanded restitution! There were threats of a LAWSUIT!"
"A little bit of an overreaction, in my humble opinion."
"Eugene, you crashed the dirigible into the Serengeti Safari attraction," Rapunzel reminded her husband. "The crocodiles tore it to shreds! We were lucky they didn't tear YOU up, too!" She started to hyperventilate. "What if next time we're NOT so lucky? I don't want the police to find your remains in a crocodile's belly! I'm too young to be a widow!" She gasped. "Maybe I shouldn't go. I can still call Cindy on her cell and tell her to cancel..."
Flynn grasped his wife by the shoulders. "Rapunzel, calm down. You are NOT cancelling your weekend with your friends. You girls have been planning this thing for weeks, and I am not about to let you blow them off all because of some stupid stunt that I pulled when I got drunk."
Rapunzel sucked in her breath. "OK. Just PLEASE, promise me that if you hang out with the guys that you won't do anything stupid."
"Oh, Blondie..."
"PLEASE, Eugene." She looked up at him with big, pleading green eyes, filled with a mix of desperation and seriousness.
Flynn groaned and held up his right hand, placing his left hand on his heart. "Fine, fine. I, Eugene Levi Fitzherbert, solemnly swear on Walt Disney's grave that I will not do anything stupid while you're at the spa with your princess friends." He gave her an annoyed look. "Satisfied?"
Rapunzel squealed and hugged her husband in such a tight manner, Flynn would've sworn that he was being constricted by Kaa. "Thank you." Just then, she heard a car horn honking. "Oh, they're here!" She grabbed her bag. "Bye, Eugene!" She kissed him on the lips, then darted out the door to Cinderella's extra-large pumpkin coach, where the nine other princesses were waiting for her. "Hi, girls!"
"Hi, Punzie, we're mighty glad that you're comin' with us," Tiana greeted the newest princess.
"Yes, it'll be a wonderful weekend!" Belle agreed.
Aurora rolled her eyes. "I STILL think we shouldn't have invited the new girl." This earned her an elbow in the ribs from Snow White. "Aurora, be nice."
Flynn smiled and watched as his wife took off with her friends. Then, he headed back inside their house. "Time to call up the boys." He picked up the phone and dialed a number. "Hey, Al, Flynn here. Blondie just left. Tell the guys to come by my place at eight. It's gonna be a stag weekend!"
Hoo boy, looks like Flynn's got some wild plans...and yes, I know that by the end of the movie he starts going by Eugene again, but the movie credits STILL list him as Flynn, so I'm going with that, too. Besides, when it comes to names, IMHO Flynn Rider is SO much better than Eugene Fitzherbert, mostly because it just seems to be the better name for a handsome, sexy, roguish thief...yeah, is it obvious that I have a little bit of a fangirl crush on him?
Originally this was going to be an exchange between Belle and Adam (the Beast's human name) seeing as they're my favorite Disney princess/prince couple, but after rereading it, I thought it might be better suited as a Rapunzel/Flynn dialogue, mostly because of Rapunzel's mini-freakout (c'mon, watch the scene where she flips between joy for being outside and guilt for "betraying" Mother Gothel and TELL me you didn't get an overreactor vibe from it) and Flynn's snarkiness. Yeah, I like snarky guys, what can I say?
Yes, you read correctly. Flynn stole RATIGAN'S dirigible while drunk. To say that that was a big mistake would be the understatement of the freakin' century...Flynn's lucky Ratti didn't go full-blown psycho on him and start beating the living crap out of him! As to how Flynn was able to fit into it...read my previous Disney story Disney Villain Island, mainly the last chapter, for an explanation.
I know I'm probably going to get some hate for having Aurora make that bitchy comment, but out of all the princesses, she's my least favorite so naturally I'd make HER the bitch of the group. I know most people bash Snow White, but really, Aurora was ten times worse IMO. She had the personality of a cucumber (a REAL cucumber, not like Larry the Cucumber from "Veggie Tales"), and she spends, like, half of her screentime asleep! At least Snowie DID some crap before she was poison appled!
Just a little FYI, Flynn's middle name being Levi is a shout-out to his voice actor, Zachary Levi...Actor Allusions FTW!
What will happen with our princes? Gotta read more to find out!
Muchas gracias, mis amigos!
All my best, DiscordantPrincess.
