Rapunzel's POV:

Eugene was so right, all these princess duties were messing me up, I needed a break. I found my parents in the library reading together, they looked so peaceful, I almost didn't want to disturb them... almost.

"Mother? Father?" I said softly

My father looked up with a warm smile, "Hello darling, what is it?"

I knew how strict my parents were about my studies, but I really needed this, I was feeling so trapped, the castle just felt like a bigger tower.

"Do you think Eugene and I could have a break from our classes?" I smiled as sweetly as I possibly could, hoping that might be enough to convince them.

"What ever for?" My mother questioned.

"I guess I just want to get out of the castle. The last time I was here I never really got to explore the whole kingdom..."

My mother and father looked at each other for a second before they started discussing my little request, what I heard was "She needs her lessons... A tower all her life... She could get hurt... Eugene... protect her..."

Finally they turned to face me, "Very well dear, you may skip your classes for a day, but just this once."

To be honest I was surprised, living with Mother, I mean, Gothel my entire life, no was basically the answer to everything! Overcome with excitement I jumped forward to hug my parents.

"THANK YOU!" I squealed before realizing that was inappropriate. I stepped back to check for any signs of anger on my parents faces, there were none, so I grinned and left.

I smashed the door to see Eugene standing on the balcony, "Judging by the door smash you're either devastated they said no, or ecstatic they said yes..." He said.

I grinned, "They said yes!"

He smiled walking towards me, and then wrapped his arms around my waist, "Great, so when do you want to go?"

"Tomorrow!" I answered all too quickly, placing my arms around his neck, "Is that okay?"

"It's perfect," He chuckled before leaning down and kissing me affectionately.

I returned the kiss, but not exactly as passionately as him, I was too excited about tomorrow! I broke the kiss to smile at him. At the corner of my eye, I saw the grandfather clock, 6:15.

"Oh we should get ready for dinner! Mom and dad will be waiting." I walked to my dresser to find something to wear. I could feel Eugene's eyes watching me as I moved, "What?" I asked

He seemed to have broken out of a trance or something, "Nothing", he said before finding something for himself to wear. I smiled and headed for the changing room.
