A/N: Sorry this is short, but Happy Father's Day everyone! This one doesn't go with just one word from "Mother Knows Best" it uses multiple ones, this doesn't count for the individual chapters thought that I plan on writing later. This just came to me because I really did want to write something special for Father's Day and I figured Rapunzel would struggle adapting to the fact she had a Father, something that she probably didn't know existed or had always wondered about. I hope you enjoy this though!

Rapunzel's hands gripped the plate filled with breakfast foods tightly, her knuckles turning pale along with her usually cheerful face. She was nervous.
Today was a day that she had never celebrated, she had never knew it existed, until Eugene had told her yesterday afternoon. Was she going about this right? Would he enjoy his surprise?

"What am I doing?" The princess whispered to herself, sitting down on the cold tile floor beside the big double doors. Placing the plate down on the ground, she shakily ran her fingers through the spikey brown hair atop her head.

It had only been a year, a year since she had been welcomed into a loving home, into society, into the life that she was meant to be living, yet Rapunzel still found herself plagued with insecurities, and the fear of doing something wrong.

Never had she had two loving parents, she hadn't even had one now that she looked back at it. Mother's wern't meant to knock you down, they were meant to help you back up. The other figure besides her real mother that had been welcomed into her life though, was a father.

Rapunzel always wondered what had happened to her's, had he been killed in some great battle, or had he ran off? The questions used to plague her as a young girl, in her dreams, but they would soon turn into nightmares.

Still the princess struggled to make things right, learn more about the two people who she should have known her whole life.

Today was Father's Day. All she had time to do was make a breakfast that despite Eugene's approval probably tasted disgusting.

Rapunzel had watched her Father carefully since being welcomed into the castle, she desperately wanted to observe this creature that was classified as a Father, but her's was much more he was also a King. The King of Corona.

The King turned out to be relatively quiet yet he was always firm and fair. Occasionaly Rapunzel would actually find the soft spoken man struggling for words around certain people just as she has found herself doing. His eyes gleamed with a kindness that couldn't be met, not even with the princess' cheerful demeanor.

"I just want him to like it," Rapunzel mumbled defeatedly, burying her face into her shaking hands and taking a deep breath trying to find the courage to stand and open the doors to his office.

Suddenly the girl heard words she hadn't heard in a year, words that were meant for discouragment.

"Naive," A soft voice spoke, but Rapunzel didn't miss the harsh undertone to it. That voice she had heard for years was coming back to her, and suddenly she grabbed the plate from the floor.

"Vague," With this next word the princess shakily stood up, gripping the wall for support.

"Clumsy," With this next word the girl stuck out her free hand to the handles on her Father's study's doors.

"Chubby," With that last word, Rapunzel found the courage to push open the doors in front of her, breaking through that wall that for so long held her back.
The King's eyes raised to his daughter at first shocked, but then the blue orbs spotted the plate in her hand. The smile on his face, said enough, and without words from the Father that loved her so, Rapunzel found the courage to say the words she had wanted to say since she woke up this morning.

"Happy Father's Day, Daddy."
