Aspyn's mother always told her to find her floating lanterns, in other words to find your destiny and Aspyn was positive it was a BRH. Aspyn was homeschooled all of her life, but recently Asyn had been asked to attend BRH, Aspyn parents are very over protective about their daughter ( yes the let her outside, don't worry Aspyn's parents aren't anything like mother gothel) Aspyn scooped pascal into her hands ( if pascal could talk he would tell Aspyn that her hands were soft and warm) "Pascal i'm gonna do it! today is the day I'll ask mother and father to attend BRH!" Pascal was sure Aspyn couldn't do it. Aspyn may not be able to talk to animals but she can definitely read animals faces, and his face this wasn't gonna work "C'mon! Pascal help me out here i'm already nervous..." Aspyn looked at her painting of the school on her wall. Aspyn sighed and placed Pascal on her night stand that had all sorts of paints and quotes. Aspyn opened her door, and called her parent's up to her room. Her parents opened the door to see Aspyn covered in paint with colors of red, green, blue, purple and shades of beiges and in gold and black. "Hello Mother , hello Father!" Apyn guided the to some chairs " O.K take a seat alright I have something to say but you can't say anything-"
"Honey why do you have paint on your face?" Aspyn already felt uneasy " Don't worry Mother i'm getting to that just hang tight." Aspyn took a deep breath she opened up her curtains her and her mother made a few years back. "O.K mom you know how you always told me to find my floating lanterns?" Rapunzel slowly noded. behind the curtain was a beautiful painting filled with vibrant colors of her mother and father on a boat looking at the floating lanterns. " O.K I know i'm not suppose to say anything, but Rapunzel your daughter definitely takes after your talents!" Aspyn smiled, then continued " Thanks Dad! Right well I really really believe that my floating lanterns are here..." Aspyn revealed the rest of the painting, which was another masterpiece this time it was a painting of the school with a beautiful sunset and floating lanterns. Aspyn continued, " I believe my floating lanterns are here.." Aspyn's parents were amazed at Aspyn's painting. Rapunzel slowly got of her seat to admire the painting, Rapunzel knew exactly how Aspyn felt, infact it brought a flashback of when she did this with Mother gothel. This time Rapunzel didn't know what to say. " Mom, Dad... what do you think?"Rapunzel looked at Eugene, Rapunzel nearly choked on her words she had felt what Aspyn was feeling. "Aspyn this is a beautiful painting, and you're right.. I did say to find your floating lanterns, but honey...I really don't think it's here.." Aspyn nearly bit her tongue but the words flew out of her mouth " But, Mom! I- I just don't see why? I may not know everything about the world but- I just thought if you gave me a chance I know something is calling me and I just know it's here you of all people know what it's like to be trapped to not be able to follow your dream!" Eugene looked worried about this conversation so he stepped in and said " Hold on now, Aspyn you're mother wasn't allowed outside, you have access to the whole kingdom!" Aspyn and her father began to argue. Rapunzel couldn't take this anymore " ASPYN THAT'S ENOUGH! YOU ARE NOT GOING AND THAT'S FINAL!" Rapunzel could not believe the words that came out of her mouth. She covered her mouth realizing she sounded just like her stepmom. There were tears running down Aspyn's face, she ran out her room and slammed the door. Rapunzel sat down tears streamming down her face. Eugene came over to comfort her. Aspyn went over to the shed and saddling up but, tears kept fogging up her vision she tried to wipe her eyes but the just kept coming finally she hopped on Maximus , and took Maximus for a long ride through the forest. Maximus was a little concerned for Aspyn, she was always happy when she rode him now she was crying. If Maximus could talk he would ask her what was wrong. Aspyn stopped by her favorite stop when she needed some alone time. it was by a willow tree. Aspyn got of off of Maximus, and sat by the tree. Maximus sat beside her, Maximus looked at Aspyn he neighed which meant he was wondering why she was so sad. Aspyn tried to smile "Don't worry max i'm fine..." the horse looked at her, and his look said "Really? I may be a horse but i'm not dumb" Aspyn tried assure Maximus that she was fine.
It was getting dark, Maximus made sure Aspyn got home before dark. He too had orders to keep the princess safe. Maximus neighed which meant Aspyn should go back. " O.K max it is kinda dark let's go home." Once Aspyn returned to the shed she gave maximus a kiss on his forehead and an apple. Aspyn walked through the castle, all her maids were worried sick, they were even more concerned she didn't eat dinner. One of the maids Johonna scolded her " Aspyn! we were worried sick! and now your dinner is cold!" Aspyn took Johonna hands and looked her in the eyes " Johonna I'm sorry...Johanna you do realizes we have microwaves?" Johanna huffed, and fixed her apron "Well it's not as good when you warm it up the second time! and i'm not the one you should be apologizing to!" Aspyn noded " I know.. i'm on my way to apologize right now.." Johonna patted Aspyn's back "Well you best be of then." Aspyn noded. Aspyn was not what to say to her parents. she opened the door to her living room, there was no one there, the room was dark, there was a candle on the the table. Aspyn walked over to the candle and picked up the candle. Aspyn walked around the room "Hello? Mom? Dad...I just wanted to say i'm sorry..." Rapunzel came out of the shadows, Aspyn ran and gave her a hug "Mom! i'm so sorry! I didn't mean to be out that long.. also i'm sorry about the whole school-" Rapunzel hushed Aspyn "Honey if anything i'm the one who should be sorry..." Rapunzel looked at all the paintings her and daughter made all the painting had beautiful vibrant colors "Honey...If you really believe your destiny is here...Then me and your father will allow you to go." Rapunzel smiled. Aspyn smiled back. Aspyn was finally ready for her life to begin, at BRH.
