After a great day of painting lessons, reading, and hazelnut soup, Gothel carried an already sleeping Repunzel up to her bed. She tucked her in, kissed the top of her head, whispered " Goodnight little flower, happy birthday", then she closed the door and went to bed herself.

3 hours later, the little girl woke up feeling quite thirsty, so she walked to mommy's room and tried to wake her… she wouldn't budge. Feeling like her tongue was as dry as a dessert, she chose to get it herself (she was growing quite independent these last few months). So quietly she crept down to the kitchen and poured herself a small cup of water and headed back to bed. That's when she noticed that mommy forgot to close the giant window, so she went to close it herself. As she was closing it she looked out and saw a single light rise up from behind the far off mountain. Then another, then another, until the whole sky seemed to be filled with them. Repunzel once again stared with awe and wonder. She watched until the last light disappeared into the night sky. After seeing there were no more, she closed the shutters and went back to bed, forgetting her cup of water on the window seat. This indeed, was the best birthday ever (and one she would never forget).
