CHAPTER TWO;
The next day came. Flynn and Corona's queen were up early. He saw her quietly sitting on a couch next to a fireplace.
"Why are you doing this?" He asked
The queen, surprised, turned to face him, "I'm so sorry Flynn..."
He suddenly felt sorry for her.
"Does this have to be done?" He pleaded.
She sighed, "yes, it's part of royal family lives sadly, royals marry other royals to make kingdoms stronger..."
Flynn understood and quietly left the room.
A few hours later, Rapunzel was walking in the garden once again. Derick just happened to be doing the same.
He looked at her, "Oh, hello princess."
She was startled, "um, hello."she tucked her hair behind her ear.
"Sorry about last night, you see, I can be a bit nosey at times." He confessed
She giggled and walked towards him, "it's alright."
It was silent for a moment before Rapunzel snapped,
"You know, Derick, there's something I need to tell you..."
He was suddenly interested, "yes?"
She shifted her feet, "I'm in love with someone else and um, this isn't going to work out..."
He was shocked, "what do you mean?"
"I am in love already and like I said before...this I not going to work out."
His froze in shock. And then he broke out into laughter. Rapunzel, confused, demanded to know,
"How is this so terribly funny Derick?!"
He slowed down, "because princess, I'm in love too."
Rapunzel and Derick began laughing immensely.
"What are we gonna do?" He asked.
She thought.
"We could act like we hate each other?"
"Maybe."
"Act like we can't STAND each other?"
"Hmm."
How about..." She thought, "oh I got nothing..."
He thought about everything they could do.
"Lets just go with the first one but add more awkwardness to it." He suggested.
They grinned,
"Lets do it!" They both yelled.
The next morning, Rapunzel knocked on Flynn's door.
He opened it.
"We have a plan." She whispered.
She explained everything that was going on to Flynn and told him that he would have to be "hidden" from both kings and queens. They kissed each other goodbye and Rapunzel started to leave,
"I love you!" He shouted.
"I love you too." She shouted back.
For breakfast, everyone, except Flynn, went into the dining room. Derick and Rapunzel winked at each other. They started eating.
"How did you too sleep last night?" Dalencia's queen asked.
"Great!" They both shouted.
The queen smiled.
Breakfast was done and nothing really happened. Derick and Rapunzel met together again.
"Okay, now we have to convince them." He whispered.
They linked arms and started slowly walking in the courtyard.
"Well, what should we do to pretend like we hate each other?" She asked
"One, we have to act like we HATE spending time together, pretend like we are bored out of our minds. Two, start being rude to each other. And three, tell our parents how this simply won't do."
She smirked, "sounds pretty good for a plan." They un-linked arms when they heard their parents come behind them.
"Having a good time?" The queen of Dalencia wondered.
The children looked at each other with disgust. They shook their heads.
"Oh." The queen frowned, then smiled again, "well, your wedding IS only a month from today away so your going to have to get used to each other." The queen left.
Rapunzel and Derick's eyes were wide open. They started at each other.
"What...are we gonna do?..." He asked.
It was quiet.
