Chapter 4: Interrogating Flynn Rider

Inside the tower, the stranger is still out cold and tied up to the chair by Rapunzel's hair. Everyone except Pascal was hiding in the shadows.

Pascal was on his shoulder trying to wake him up. He first slapped him with his hand but nothing worked.

He then slapped him with his tail but he still didn't wake up.

Then Pascal got an idea. He stuck his tongue inside his left ear and it woke him up.

"Agh! Huh? Uh?" He exclaimed and started struggling only to not move at all.

"Is this hair?" He asked.

Rapunzel spoke up. "Struggling… struggling is pointless."

"That's right pal." Sora said. "You can keep struggling, but you won't go anywhere."

"Huh?" He asked.

"We know why you're here, and we're not afraid of you." Rapunzel said.

"Yeah! That's right!" Donald exclaimed feeling energetic. "We can take you on! Anytime! Anywhere!"

"Ok, ok Donald. We don't need to take it up too high." Sora said calming Donald down while the stranger had a dumbfound look on his face.

"Ok, I know you all are here." The stranger said. "Why don't you come out and show yourselves."

Then in a few moments, everyone emerged from the shadows looking at the stranger.

Rapunzel had her frying pan, Sora and Kairi had their keyblades, Donald had his staff and Goofy had his shield.

"Who are you? And how did you find me?" Rapunzel asked.

The stranger didn't respond.

Sora pointed his blade at him. "She asked you a question! Who are you? And how did you find her?"

He cleared his throat. "I know not who you are, nor how I came to find you, but may I just say…" he said to everyone before looking at Rapunzel and Kairi and let out a sly look on his face.

"Hi" He said and everyone looked at each other with strange looks on their faces.

"How ya doin'? The name's Flynn Rider. How's your day goin'? Huh?" The man named Flynn Rider introduced himself.

"Ugh!" Rapunzel and Kairi scoffed at Flynn.

"Ok Flynn Rider. Let's get passed the pleasantries and get back to business." Sora said.

"How did you find this tower, Flynn Rider?" Donald asked pointing his staff at him.

"I have no idea how I found this tower." Flynn answered trying to sound convincing but Donald looked angry at him wasn't buying it.

"Do you think I'm an idiot?!" Donald exclaimed slamming the bottom tip of his staff to the ground, but it actually hit his foot.

"Ow! Ow! Ow! That hurts!" Donald exclaimed hopping up and down while holding his foot.

Everyone just looked at Donald with weird looks on their faces.

"Yeah, I think we can handle this Donald." Sora said to Donald. "Why don't you stay on the sidelines so you won't lose your temper."

"Ah phooey!" Donald exclaimed waking away from everyone and sitting down.

Everyone got back to the interrogation with Rapunzel pointing her pan at Flynn. "Who else knows my location, Flynn Rider?"

"All right, blondie–" Flynn said but Rapunzel interrupted him.

"Rapunzel." She said.

"We have names too you know." Sora said sternly before saying his name. "I'm Sora."

"I'm Kairi." Kairi said her name.

"I'm Donald." Donald said his name.

"I'm Goofy." Goofy said his name.

"Gesundheit" Flynn said in German. "Here's the deal. I was in a situation, gallivanting through the forest. I came across this tower and…"

He looked around for his satchel and started to freak out about it. "Ho, oh no… where is my satchel?!"

Kairi crossed her arms. "We've hidden it. Somewhere you'll never find it." She said.

Flynn then looked at a pot that was near everyone. "It's in that pot, isn't it?" He asked.

Everyone saw the satchel in the pot.

"Dang it!" Sora exclaimed.

Rapunzel knocked Flynn out with her pan.

Flynn woke again and saw Pascal sticking his tongue in his ear again. "Yike! Would you stop that?!"

"Now it's hidden where you'll never find it." Rapunzel said crossing her arms.

Flynn saw the satchel inside Sora's coat. "It's in Sora's coat isn't it?"

Everyone saw the satchel in the coat.

"Dah!" Sora exclaimed.

Rapunzel knocked him out again. Flynn woke up after Pascal stuck his tongue in his ear for the third time.

"Ah!" He exclaimed waking up again. "Would you please stop that?!"

"Ok." Sora said catching his breath. "Now we've got it hidden where you'll never find it."

"Ok let's get back to business, Flynn Rider, what do you want with my hair? To cut it?" Rapunzel asked.

"What?" Flynn asked not knowing what she is taking about.

"Sell it?" Rapunzel asked again.

"No! Listen, the only thing I want to do with your hair is to get out of it. Literally." Flynn said weirdly.

"Wait. You don't want Rapunzel's hair?" Goofy asked Flynn.

"Why on earth would I want her hair? Look, I was being chased, I saw a tower, and I climbed it, end of story." Flynn explained and everyone was starting to buy it.

"Wait. You telling us the truth?" Sora asked.

"Yes." Flynn answered.

Everyone was silent at the moment. Pascal still didn't trust Flynn and neither did Donald.

Everyone decided to talk about it with each other. "Can you excuse us for a sec?" Sora said to Flynn before turning to everyone else. "Huddle up guys."

Everyone huddled up and started taking to each other about the situation.

"This guy might not be as bad as we think." Goofy said.

"Even so I still don't trust him." Donald said with Pascal nodding in agreement.

"I know guys, I know he still can't be trusted. But I need someone to take me." Rapunzel said referring to the floating lights.

Pascal pointed at Sora, Kairi, Donald and Goofy.

"We know Pascal." Kairi said to him. "We know you want us to do it, but we don't know how to get to the kingdom where the lights happen."

"Flynn here seems to come from that very kingdom." Goofy theorized.

"I mean, that crown in the satchel must be from the kingdom where he may have came from. I think he knows how to get there." Goofy added.

"You might be right Goofy." Rapunzel said and Pascal motioned again. "He doesn't have fangs, but what choice do we have?"

"We understand what you're trying to say Pascal." Sora said to Pascal. "But we have to rely on him to take us to the kingdom."

"It's settled then." Donald said.

Everyone broke from their huddle and went back to Flynn.

"Ok Flynn Rider. We're going to offer you a deal." Sora said.

"A deal?" Flynn asked not sure about the situation.

"Look this way." Rapunzel said pulling her hair which spun Flynn around until he collapsed forward with the chair.

"Do you know what these are?" Rapunzel asked pointing to her mural which depicts the floating lights.

"You mean the lantern thing they do for the princess?" Flynn asked and everyone had a surprised look on their faces.

"Lanterns?" Everyone asked in awe.

"I knew they weren't stars." Rapunzel asked excitedly.

She composed herself and got back to the deal. "Well, tomorrow evening they will light the night sky with these lanterns." Rapunzel said.

"You, along with Sora, Kairi, Donald and Goofy will act as my guide, take me to these lanterns, and return me home safely." Rapunzel added.

Sora spoke up. "If you agree to help us take Rapunzel to see the lanterns and return her home safely, then, and only then, will we return your satchel to you. That's our deal."

"Yeah. No can do." Flynn said. "Unfortunately, the kingdom and I aren't exactly 'simpatico' at the moment. So I won't be taking you anywhere."

Everyone looked at each other at the moment. Then Pascal motioned for everyone to get tough with him. Everyone nodded and went to get tough with him.

"Hmm. Ok Flynn Rider, time to take the gloves off a bit." Donald said.

Rapunzel pulled her hair which pulled Flynn closer to everyone.

"Something brought you here, Flynn Rider. Call it what you will: fate, destiny…" Rapunzel spoke but Flynn cut her off.

"A horse." Flynn said sarcastically.

"That's it? A horse?" Sora said with a weird look on his face.

"Yeah. A horse." Flynn said back to Sora.

"So we have made the decision to trust you." Kairi said.

"A horrible decision, really." Flynn said.

"But trust me when I tell you this." Rapunzel before tugging her hair hard making Flynn fall forward.

Rapunzel caught the chair and was really close to Flynn.

"You can tear this tower apart brick by brick, but without my help, you will never find your precious satchel." Rapunzel said trying to intimidate him.

Flynn cleared his throat again. "Let me just get this straight. I help you take Rapunzel to see the lanterns, bring her back home, and you'll give me back my satchel?"

"We promise." Everyone said in unison. However, Flynn was in disbelief.

"And when we promise something, we never ever break that promise." Rapunzel said. But Flynn was still in disbelief.

"Ever." Everyone said in unison.

Flynn looked at everyone before speaking up again. "All right, listen, I didn't want to have to do this, but you leave me no choice."

"Here comes the 'smoulder'" Flynn said before doing the smoulder at everyone.

Everyone had weird looks on their faces before looking back at Flynn sternly.

"This is kind of an off day for me. This doesn't normally happen." Flynn said still smouldering.

Then Flynn spoke up again. "Fine, I'll take you to see the lanterns!"

"Alright!" Everyone exclaimed excitedly but they accidentally dropped Flynn.

"Oops." Everyone said in unison. "Sorry."

"You broke my 'smoulder'." Flynn said.

And so, everyone was ready to begin their journey to the kingdom to see the lanterns with Flynn as their key guide. Everyone was excited for it, especially Rapunzel. She is finally able to fulfill her dream.
