AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW I genuinely think I have the best reviewers EVER! You guys have been so supportive and hearing those comments makes me want to write even more! Seriously though, some of you guys have been supporting me since day one and I honestly cannot tell you how much that means to me!
So (once I finished crying after reading your reviews) I got back to writing!
Now, I know I'm going against every other Tangled writing on the web when I say I'm not planning on writing a wedding-y/ Engagement-y Fic any time soon.
*Commence Groaning from Readers who brought confetti*
I'm sorry! You see I always got a bit upset with Disney for going "I met you/ We fell in love within a day/ Lets get married tomorrow = Happy Ending" …MEH I want an actual relationship forming! Which Is why I took Eugenes "So after years and years of asking and asking and ASKING…" To heart. I don't think it took that long for her to say yes….but I think they waited at least one year before getting engaged. Which is where I (And all the other wonderful Tangled writers) come in !
I'm SO happy you like my OC's! They add to the story and I don't think I could have written this oneshot without them!
Now. After that long AN I remind you firstly that I don't own Tangled…Shocker I know….and todays colour was chosen by Peaches 1068, Romance & Musicals (I love that bit! :'( So im adding in a little bit in for you! ), Music Princess 1990 and PocahontasJohnSmith Forever! Now….im going to admit to you I had writers block *GASP* so I apologise if this isn't my best piece of writing….
Gold!
"Get out of bed your Royal Lazyness! This is the third time I've woken you up within the past hour and I swear to the Stars if you don't get up this time I'm sending in that bloody horse!" Caleb yelled as he tugged my leg out of the bed. You would think for a kid I rescued from poverty he would let me have a couple hours extra rest. I groaned as I sat up.
" You know Caleb I could just have you sent back to the orphanage and get my sleep."
Caleb grinned
"Rapunzel warned me you might say that and as Royal Orders from Her Majesty I have permission to hit you over the head with a frying pan on any occasion where you mention sending me back. Now; I think that's a little extreme…but who am I to disobey orders?"
"For a kid who only recently turned 16 you really know how to get on a ladies good side."
To be honest, I had no idea how he did it! I knew from the start Rapunzel would like him; he's like me. But the queen likes him because he's polite, the maids like him because he's handsome and the older maids like him because they want him to marry their daughters!
Blondie says he's charming! Charming my left foot! He's a menace whenever he's around me…
Caleb just smiled sheepishly and rubbed the back of his neck.
"Actually….I kind of lied when I said I was 16.…truth is I just make up how old I am….there aren't really any records at the orphanage and I never learnt how to read so I couldn't go to the library…."
" Well," I cried as I leaped out of bed, looking as though I had been awake for hours " I will have to fix that won't I? Can't have you going around thinking your 16 when really your 57 with dwarfism….I'm sure Tess wouldn't be very impressed" I said slyly, walking over to the wardrobe.
"Shut up will you!" He mumbled; failing to hide his embarassment. He quickly shook it off and walked over to join me "No point looking in there. You were gone so long that the princess just came in and chose an outfit for you." I looked at him agast
"She was in here when I was still asleep!" Why did he let her in? Stupid kid..
"Yep. You sleep like the dead. She started jumping on the bed and everything. Eventually-after I tried to get her out of the room - She said that she was going to pick what you wore today, Because if you recall your meant to be going to the market with her today. I did try and make her leave again but I'm sure you know how persuasive the Princess can be." he smirked at me…if I didn't like the kid so much he'd be sharing the stable with Max.
~Market Place ~
"I don't see what the problem is Eugene! He's lovely!"
We wandered through the Market place, I occasionally stopped to curtsy to passers by. Eugene just sulked.
"I know that Rapunzel!" He stopped and lowered his voice, probably worried it might upset me. "I like the kid, I really do…its his attitude that's the problem." he crossed his arms and pulled his face into a little glare…its quite cute actually.
"Reminds me of a thief I knew once" I muttered under my breath - knowing Eugene would hear me perfectly.
"I wasn't anything like him!" I stared at him with the kind of look that says "Oh really?" He sighed "Alright he's exactly how I was when I was his age…except I was stealing from houses not working for the Royal Family and their tag along." He sighed again and walked off to a little stall selling boots.
What was the problem?
Everyone loved the new additions to the palace.
Bonnie was a delight and everyone loved her. Her new family welcomed her with open arms and I'm sure I've never seen a happier family.
Tess was like a little sister to me. She was like a mini version of Eugene infact…most definatly his biggest fan. Anything I wanted to know about him she would probably know. Favourite Colour = Used to be Blue and now its Green. First Kiss= Some girl called Isabel who had launched herself on him.
Yep no problem there….
Caleb had been accepted almost immediately. The gaurds loved him because he was always willing to stand up for himself and aimed to become a royal guard one day. The maids loved him for obvious reasons…Tess wasn't fond of him out loud but I'm not as naïve as I look.
I looked back over to where Eugene had walked. True to form there was Caleb only a few steps behind him. That boy admired Eugene so much. Looked up to him like I imagine boys look up to their fathers…I suppose that is how their relationship works. Eugene teaches Caleb and Caleb learns how to be a man. Infact it was like having a little Eugene clone - Ohhhh I get it now.
Eugene creeped over once Caleb was choosing some new shoes.
"You know Eugene, when we first started living here I started kissing you in public so other women would stop looking at you." Eugene looked a little flabbergasted at this news but I carried on, slightly amused by the look on his face "Then I took it upon myself to talk about how much I love you every time the maids were around; to stop them gushing about what they would do if they had a chance at dating the infamous Flynn Rider. The gaurds- although they hate to admit it - admire that you can best most of them without any military training what so ever. Don't get me started on how much my parents love you…sometimes I think they forget its Me who's their child and you who's the beau!" we both laughed and Eugene began to blush; a sure sign I hit the nail on the head.
It wasn't that he didn't like the boy. It was that the boy was getting more attention than him…if only he knew that I amost fired a girl last night after she went on about seeing him with his top off. She was lucky Tess restrained me. Otherwise she would have chunks of hair missing….talking about my boyfriend like that…Humph!
Caleb came running over to me after seeing it had just turned two. I nodded and handed him a sack of coins. He grinned at me and bowed. Eugene looked puzzled.
"What are you doing giving the kid money?" I ignored him and turned to Caleb
" Pink daisies and blue azaleas, you know where your going?" He nodded and ran down a smaller street
" I'm holding up my end of the bargain. I promised that if I was allowed in your room this morning that I would give him money for a gift for a certain someone." I grinned at him as he smiled down at me.
"You really have nothing to worry about Eugene. Your always going to be my Golden Boy"
~ Hours Later ~ Royal Guard Stables
I had been moved to stable duty for tonight….apparently calling Max a glorified dog doesn't go down very well around here.
So here I am. Mucking out a paddock….Lovely
Better than living in the orphanage though….Atleast theres a warm bed waiting for me inside.
"Oh this is just too good" And there she is….I don't know whether it's a blessing or a curse.
Her long Red plait hung over the paddock gate and she laughed.
"I did try to warn you that the horse was smart! But did you listen to me? No of course not!" I smirked
"Why should I? the last time I listened to you I ended up working for Eugene."
Uh Oh
Her hands clenched up into fists and her face went volcano red. This isn't good
"Are you saying he's not good enough for you? Huh! This is SO typical of you! You don't deserve to work for Eugene!" I honestly should have known better than to insult Eugene in front of her…even when I didn't mean it.
"Hey come on you know I like the guy….He found out how old I am today…" She looked up, looking slightly intrigued " He went to the Royal Census and it turns out im seventeen in july…that's about eight months away now…"
She looked up and smiled half heartedly….But to be honest; any smile from her is a great smile.
"Good. I don't want to get flowers from some creepy 20 year old now do I? After all im only fifteen next Wednesday!…thank you….for the flo-" She stopped her self from carrying on. Tess doesn't do Thank you's to guys. I leaned against the gate and grinned at her.
" Well what can I say I? I have a great sense of timing and what girls want" I gave her another dashing smile before she flicked my forehead sending me backwards.
Oh Hell.
Too far backwards!
I landed ass first in a giant pile of manure.
Tess was almost doubled over in laughter until she brought herself up to standing, crying with tears.
"And to think you have another week of Horse duty!" as I flicked some manure she began to walk off, only to quickly look over her shoulder and call to me,
"Stay Gold Pony Boy!"
I suppose there could be worse ways of spending my life.
Yes Yes I know…..commence the rotten food throwing….But honestly I did enjoy writing this one….
I wanted to point out that Eugene is human and we do get jelous over little things like that. Its only natural really ;)
I added the bit on the end because I couldn't resist the temptation. It worked too well. I imagine Caleb with 2 accents at the moment ….im stuck because im English so I either hear a thick northern accent or (More appropriately seeing as all the characters speak in an american accent in this movie) with a kind of Tom Sawyer accent :P I love both accents and both work for the character...which do you think would work better?
Please leave a colour in your reviews and (As I used to) I will write on the first one ^_^
All the best to my wonderful reviewers! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
