The big day approached quickly. I had fun with the duo, winning some games including chess. And I avoided Gothel easily enough every day. On the big day, we began with breakfast, then a game of hide-seek. Pascal had won 11 out of 20, and I won 6 out of 10, while Rapunzel or Zel as I came to call her, won this morning with 23 out of 45. I hid first with Pascal heading out to his hiding spot. Zel found me after a few minutes of searching, for I hid in the red curtains of the glass windows. Then I watched Zel find Pascal with amusement.
I giggled at Pascal's grumbled look. I came to learn that since Zel grew up with Pascal, she understood our language and body language, and I learned to listen and observe Zel by mood or voice. I smiled as I went to help the duo with the chores. I was the model, not Pascal, for the dresses and I loved the cookies and even sneaked a piece of the pie. Mmm, raspberry pie, so good. I was either on Zel's head or one of her shoulders all the time. Pascal seems to prefer Zel's left shoulder for some reason, and I prefer to sit on her right shoulder since I grew up being right-sided on everything like the seatbelt, bed position, you name it.
Anyhow, I was both excited and nervous for I have theories for today, and how I should react in each situation, like the pub scene, or the dam scene. As usual, Gothel came by, and I hid along the canister of Zel's stairs while Pascal hid in the trees of Zel's newest painting. I watched everything up until she left and it was maybe 10 minutes of another game of hide-seek, and I won it when we all heard a thump sound. I went out, sneaking slowly to see Eugene climbing up the tower with his borrowed arrows.
I warned Zel and Pascal about him and we quickly arranged everything, as I hid with Pascal under the window doors, blending with the colors. Eugene was hit soon enough by the famous pan, and I suggested the closet after the inspection was done. With a bit of frustration, Zel managed to get him into the closet.
"Hey, guys, what do you make of this?". I chirped curiously as I looked in the satchel, pulling the crown out with my mouth into the duo's sight. Zel looked very curious, and tried it out in various positions. I giggled each time as Pascal shooked his head. Then the crown came on Zel's head. Wow, no wonder why she looks scarily close to her true mother, the Queen. Then Gothel interrupted much to my frustration. Uhh, I wanted Zel to connect the pieces sooner!
Then Gothel got a bit scary for a minute or two until Zel, observing her, that she didn't like to lie, but she did lie this time, asking for the shells as normal, then everything went on as usual up to Eugene's tied up chair interrogation.
I actually did the second time to wake up Eugene, through I used another way. I used the nose hold, I was the size of his nose easily, and I closed it up to cause him to wake and shake me off when he wanted to breathe again, and worry about his perfect nose.
"Oh, my poor nose! Why did you do that?". whined Eugene irritatingly. I smirked to myself. Sorry, man. It was the best thing I could think of, due to my size. Zel went on, interrogating him, with me and Pascal in his face, growling and snapping. I hopped up to Zel's head, facing him as Zel leaned down to talk with Pascal. I used my fingers to signal that I am watching him. Eugene was obviously freaked out and still as he stared in shock at me. I held on gently as Zel finished talking with Pascal and walked up to the lanterns painting. I smiled as I looked, observing Zel until Eugene first refused. I growled lightly at him as Zel climbed down, brought him up, and made the true promise. I then glared down at Eugene as his eyes flickered up and down, obviously in thought, then snorted as he did the 'smoulder', then I narrowed my glare up until he agreed with Zel. I squeaked happily at Zel's joy, then giggled as Eugene whined again.
Soon enough, with Eugene free from the chair and Zel's hair, we came down, with myself gripping Zel's dress. I watched her sing as I sat on my favorite seat, holding on and laughing with her and Pascal as she went to explore her freedom. Well, talk about a great start! Next, we will be at the pub. I wonder if I irritate a thug or something there. Who knows?
