"What do you mean… she is Lost?"

This guy was a moron. Like a real moron.

"I thought she was going to come back later to the castle, after she was tired enough, so I waited for her all night long outside… but… she never came. I have been looking for her all morning but I just can't find her."

My heart- that was in the freaking floor, crashed and broken and burned in little pieces- started to broke in even more pieces now. This had to be a joke. Suddenly I was so mad with him.

"You… you… YOU LEAVE HER ALONE?" I said raising my voice and my hands in his direction, like if I was about to kill him.

Not a bad idea.

"She's a girl! She needed you! When girls cry you are not supposed to go! What people teach in school these days? Haaaahg I hate to say this but at least you should have followed her!"

"She wanted to be alone and-"

"YES! But that does not mean you are going to leave her alone in god's know where! You-you!" the kids around started to walk away from there, I breathed slowly I was about to commit murder.

"Sorry…"

"Don't say sorry! Send all your guards to find her! Tell her parents, move you asshole!" I said as I watched around me, in case I spot a little petite girl walking nearby.

Yes, right.

"Already did, my guards are looking all around the place for her, but… her parents… I just told them you took her away for the day."

"YOU DID WHAT?"

He was a stupid boy, I mean that. Now her parents are going to kill me, me not him.

"Don't you see? She is lost!"

"I understand that and I'm blaming you for it! What I don't understand is why on earth did you lied to her parents!"

Then Sebastian came to me took me by the shoulders as he screamed.

"Flynn, is time to think! Stop feeling for a second!"

I pulled him away from me as I focused on breathing in and out. In-out-in-out. Think about what?

"All right, so the reason is…?" I said as I really tried to stay calm. She was lost. She was lost and alone somewhere!

"They are going to freak out, the same way you are doing right now, the last thing they need is to find that their daughter, that used to be lost, now two months later is lost again. Figures!"

I sighed, I wanted the whole kingdom to be searching for her, every person alive should be looking for her in this exact second.

"All your freaking army is looking for her?"

"Every single man I have in this kingdom. Yes."

I stood there for minutes in silence. Thinking and thinking over and over again, then I started thinking crearly;I moved my feelings away. This was not time to feel guilty sad not even worried, it was time to act. She was lost and I was going to find her. No matter what.

"If we don't find her around eight o'clock, I'm telling her parents." I said after a while.

"They are going to kill you! Or worse! They are going to put you in prision, they are going to exile you!" He said as we started walking outside the little park. I could have laughed at the statement, but right now I found it really dumb. Everything around me was just meaningless.

"If that is going to bring Rapunzel back then so be it!"

We stood a moment in silence looking at each other.

"Find her." I said. After a pause I glared at him. "Sebastian, find her! I don't care what you have to do to bring her here, I don't even care if it's against her will, are you listening? If she says she doesn't want to see me, I'm not going to see her, if she says she hates me and she doesn't want me near her anymore," and for a second I doubt it. "then so be it, I'm leaving the town the moment she orders me to."

I took him by the shirt and pulled the kid in front of my face. I was afraid of her life. She spent the night alone… anything could have happen.

"Are we clear? Bring.her."

He nodded, he looked determined too and then without a word more he started running with Marine as I made my way to the opposite direction in order to find Max.

Finally I woke up, I looked around, for a moment I felt okay, the sun was shining above me and It felt weird to be there in the middle of the woods but I was restless, I even managed to give a little smile and then all came to my mind in a second.

Eugene, the kiss, what I have said… the way he looked at me… now that I was thinking crearly, cause things always look better at morning… he looked really sad, he looked in a lot of pain, what if what he was trying to say was the truth? He run to me, isn't it?

Yes, he did, but he kissed her, right? you saw them! Yes, yes I know, a tear escaped from my eye, I decided not to cry anymore, my eyes were puffy and red enough, I could notice even without a mirror, but I didn't care. I sat against a tree trying not to feel, but every second was more difficult, then I realized Mom and Dad should be worried by now, wondering where I was.

It doesn't matter... but,

Pascal! oh my! He spent the night alone! I rose up in a hurry, maybe everybody was worried about me right now, I was a princess!, And my classes... I'm sure they had started a while ago, and then I looked around, surrounded by threes, grass and sun. I passed my hands trhoght my hair and after a second of breathing slowly I managed to say.

"Where Am I?"

I started walking in any direction cause there was no path near by, so I didn't know if I was going depper into the woods or near the town. I sighed. My body hurt, but I was able to manage it very well. I missed my bed, but what it really hurt was my heart, no matter what I just couldn't make it go away. I lost track of time when I finally found a path!

"All right, now… In what direction it would be good to go?" I say looking at both sides, it was a funny thing to see, but I just couldn't smile. I sighed, maybe left? In that moment I saw another woman sitting just a few meters away from me, under a tree in a side of the road. I decided to ask, she was beautiful, when I got closer I realized she had this big blue eyes who cautivated me. When I reached her she finally looked at me in the eye.

"Hey…" she said in a low voice, not looking at me, she was too interested on her hands.

"Hi." I said trying to be polite too, for a reason she looked sad, or angry. "Excuse me, I want to go to the kingdom who is supposed to be here near by?"

That was a moron question, that was my kingdom anyway, the girl smiled.

"In that direction, you will get there in an hours or so."

An hour! Oh my god, how fast can a girl run when she is broken?

"Are you okay? You seem… you know… you look awful"

I tried to smile.

"Yeah… well I should get going, it was a long night."

She nodded.

"Yeah, me too. Men. They can be so mean some times..."

I nodeed, I moved my hand to the spot of my heart.

"I know…"

We both looked at eachother for a second and then she asked, she was sad and angry, now I was sure, so… she had a fight too? Well, I don't know what happened between Eugene and me, what I know is that I don't want to see him. Are we over? Can we be over? What am I supposed to do now? Go back and pretend we are fine?

"Sit! Tell me what that bastard did to you!" I didnt even have time to say something cause she was talking again. "Oh hon, yesterday this man I used to love… just said to me he hated me, he was in love with other girl…"

I sat right besides her, who cares now? I pulled my knees to my chest, trying to figure out what to do.

"That's so sad, I'm sorry, really."

She laughed so hard I thought I had just said a joke.

"Oh Hon, that how life goes. Anyway my name is Melanie."

I tried to smile as Eugene face flashed through my mind, my voice broke for a second.

"Hi my name is-"

"Hon, Hon, please go ahead, please tell me about your night." She said clapping twice. I made a sad face, I didn't want to remember, but I did as memories flashed by and even thought she was a stranger I talked to her.

"Yesterday I found Eugene ki-kissing, kissing another…-"

"Another girl? Boys, they are so despicable! And you are such a cutie! What an asshole." She said with those blue eyes, she was pretty, everybody could see that. Last night I didn't pay attention to the girl who was- but I think she was pretty too. I always new I was not pretty, anyway.

"Don't call him like that…" I said suddenly, unaware of what I had said, of rather why I had said that. She looked at me skeptically.

"She kissed another woman, what are you talking about?"

I shrugged.

"Maybe it was not his intention, maybe I just got there a minute later." I said to the air, he had run so fast to catch me, the look in his eyes, the way he wanted to explain everything… and I didn't let him. Maybe I should listen.

"Yeah… maybe…" She said like she was remembering something, after a minute or two I decided to leave, before going away she said. "You know, you seem familiar…"

"You too! Maybe we have seen each other in town?"

She shrugged moving her hand.

"Next time you see Eugene, hit him in the face, that always works, and… if I were you, I would not listen to him, all boys are liars… well, most of them anyway."

I nodded, she seemed so hurt… and after a second I kneeled besides her and hugged her.

"Melanie, it was so good to talk to you." I said as I rose up and smiled, she managed to smile too, but she was shocked.

"Yeah, see you around little girl." I bowed and left. An hour or so to get to the kingdom. Then I heard her voice.

"You know what? It's about two in the afternoon, wanna go for something to eat.

I looked to the path that I should follow… there was my kingdom, Sebastian, my parents, Pascal and my people… but there was Eugene too… and then I was standing there with destiny in my hands, a day away? How bad it could be?

I looked in the other direction, where Melanie pointed.

"Promise it will be just two hours, then I could walk you to the kingdom." She said, she was not smiling but she seemed a good girl, anyway I didn't know why I had this trange feeling inside of me.

I ignored it.

In the other path, with Melanie, was the adventure, I didn't want to live it without Eugene, but this path didn't have Eugene in it, and that was the only thing that I was looking for right now. I'm going to forget about him, just for a second.

"I know the best place to forget boys, I was going right into that direction."

She was waiting for me to decide, patiently she waited a little bit longer,. I gave in.

"Just two hours, I really have to come back."

I was in top of Max and after one hour of looking in the city, we decided to look for her outside the kingdom, every guard was looking for her inside of it, so maybe she was outside, I spent three hours more looking for her outside but I didn't found anything, I was going crazy, every time I heard something I thought it was her, and every time Max stopped for a breath I just couldn't help but get angry at him when he was trying his best.

"Sorry Max, I'm sorry, it just that I'm worried…" I said as we stopped to eat some apples near the road, it was getting late, so late and soon enough it was going to be eight o'clock. And in that moment Sebastian was going to talk to her parents about the issue.

"I'm so dead, Max… I just wished she wasn't there, I just wished…" I sighed, the sun was starting to disappear and the afternoon started to get colder. "Let's go boy, I have to find her."

And we started running again, after a few minutes I found a tavern, Max wanted to check inside but I didn't want to.

"Max! Lets go she is not going to be there, but I have run out o ideas I- the tavern! Maybe she is with the thiefs!" She was crazy enought to do so.

Max nodded,we started to get going in to that direction when something called for me, it wasn't that clear, but was my name. Max looked at me with confusion.

"Did you hear that? Someone… Someone said my name!" He nodded, jesus I just hate the idea of him nodding, he is a horse! but he did, I got down and started to look around as Max tried to look in other direction nearby. Again I heard it, a little bit louder, and this time I was sure from who was coming.

"Rapunzel! " I screamed as I desesperatly tired to reach her wherever she was. "Rapunzel! Talk to me, I'm here!"

"E…Eugne…"

"BLONDIE!" I screamed with all my might, running to her voice, I was desperate; I wanted to hold her, to talk to her, to just see her.

She was saying my name again and again, and finally I found her. My stomach was growling, my hand hurt because of the threes and sticks I had to break to get to where she was. My legs hurt because of the riding and my back ached for the position in Max all day long, my heart was worried because of her, but in that second that didn't matter, everything disappeared in the air as I watched her, she kept saying my name and It was then when I realized I was so glad to just see her I didn't care about a thing in the world anymore. The world can end right now.

She was sat under a tree, leaning against it, she had red cheeks and she was looking at her hands, her hair was a little messy, but she looked gorgeous even like that, and just for a little scratch in her dress and the fact she had slept outside all night long, she seemed fine. That was I needed to know. And then I gasped, realizing everything. I almost laughed.

She was drunk.

I looked around but I didn't found anyone there, I sat in front of her, mirrowing her possition, I didn't know what to do or say, and I was not sure she was aware I was there.

"Eugene…" she said again, looking at her hands, it didnt sound like she knew I was there, but I took it like a singal.

I doubt for a second before answering.

"Hey, blondie…" I said in a low voice, waiting for her reaction. She slowly turned her eyes to meet mine, it was like, I don't know if I'm going to be able to describe it, but it was the most beautiful thing and in the same time the most hard and powerful feeling, every feeling you can think in this second was what I saw in her green eyes. And after a second all I saw was: Hope.

"You… you came…" she said as she started to cry I hugged her and she hid her face in my shoulder, grapping my shirt with all her might, her voice was shaking and most of the times what she was saying was hard to get, she was a little drunk, but to me, everything made perfect sense.

"Of course I came, Blondie, I was worried!" I said as I tried to pull her a little bit awa from me to see her face and in that second she stopped crying, so suddenly I was sure that was not normal, she stood up so quickly I had to stabilize her by the elbow. "And here you are drunk…"

And then she hit me, right my face. She slapped me.

"That… that was for you kissing her!" I was in shock.

She

Hit

Me.

Well I deserved it, that and more, but I was stunned. My hand flow to my cheek. She had her hand still in the air, looking at me.

"You kiss her! And I and I… just couldn't think, I didn't want to think, this is your fault! I had to… I had to…" She said looking at her hand then she looked to the sky, sighing.

"You run away…" I said rubbing my cheek, at least she was talking to me.

"YES! Because… because I wanted to forget and then… and then I found…. "

I smiled with sincerity.

"You found a tavern…"

She nodded. Rapunzel drunk? This was another person's idea, cause she was not that type of girl.

"She brougwt mee here… she said she wa going to bring somewing, too me…! To.. too eaat…" She said almost falling again and talking weird, then suddenly she had more energy and was able to stand by her own, but she was as silent as a tomb can be.

"Rapunzel, are you feeling okay?" I asked after a while. Maybe she was about to do what normal people do when they are drunk…

"I'm not fine…" She said in a low voice, then I saw how tear by tear started rolling down her face. And it was my fault.

"I know, let's get you something to eat… you will feel better" I said as I looked around trying to figure it out what to do, take her to the castle like this? Her father was going to erase me from earth.

"You broke me…" She said suddenly, I looked at her and I realized she was a little bit closer to me, she was not angry, not in shock, she didn't even look drunk in that second, she looked broken, just like that. What am I supposed to say? "I'm not all right, I… I want to know, why?"

"You are not feeling okay because you are drunk. Blondie" I said with half a smile. "You will feel better when-"

"Why you kissed her?..."

Oh…

"I'm sorry, Rapunzel, that-I swear! That was not my intention, please… just listen, I should have told you before! But I thought she was dead!" I said histerical, she was dead! A day ago she was dead!

"Who? Her? She was kissing you!" It looks everything she could say was 'kissing' for the moment.

"I know! She was supposed to be dead! And then at the tavern I found her! I was mad at Sebastian first, you know what? Blame him! I just hated the moment he danced with you!" I was so out of topic. Then, after a whole minute- where she had a face that said 'what?' she started giggling.

"Blondie? Are… are you okay?"

"You were jealous?"

I smiled a little bit.

"No… I'm not the jealous type, you know." She started to chuckle even more.

"You were jealous! I always knew it…" After a minute or so we only grinned at each other, but soon her smile fell off her face.

"Why did you kiss her?"

I didn't said anything because I had to choose the right words, after a while I talked, did i choose the right words? No, I just said whatever was crossing my mind.

"Blondie, I need you to believe in me when I'm telling you this: It was my fault that she kissed me, but I promise you for everything I love, I didn't kissed her back, it was just half a second, I just wished I could go back in time, but I can't go back to change things, Im dealing with my actions,, and I know it hurt you but I… I'm sorry, I just… I just want you to believe in me."

And then the most inexplicable thing happened.

She hit me.

Again.

This time she was pushing me with her hands in coffs, trying to hit my chest, I didn't stop her, it didn't hurt that bad, because she was tired and I guess she has the right to do so.

"Then you should have left! " She said hitting me twice.

"I did, I went after you."

"Then you should have said something!" she said hitting me again, every word a hit, she was looking straight to my chest where my heart should be.

"I tried, but Sebasterd got in the way…" I said as I tried not to breathe, again he hit me with just one hand, slowly right in my heart.

"And then why? You didn't run to me and kissed me right in sidewalk? Why you left me by my own?" She said almost talking to herself, I didn't answer.

"Why you didn't follow me?"

"I tried, again Sebasterd stopped me and… and…"

I lost track, standing there watching her head, her hands stopped hitting as she just stood there, close to me, with her forehead against my chest.

"You were mad and you were right to be mad and… yeah you can be as mad as you can because it was my fault… you know what? Is fine if you are mad" She hit me again, this time hard.

"Why you are not complaining? "She said looking to my eyes, she had this beautiful eyes, which were seeking for a response, I sighed.

"I'm a though guy… " She nodded.

"Please tell me to stop…" She said leaning against my chest, she was tired, I just knew it, but I didn't dare to hold her yet, so I just stood there with my hands by my sides. "Please just… I thought I had become a little bit like you, you know?"

"Nice way to change subject…" She laughed a little "But why are you saying that?"

Her eyes meet mine.

"I thought I had gone, you know, a little bit mature. With a kingdom to be ruled and everything, and it has been a long time since I have felt this way, you are always able to do everything you want, every goal in life you have reached it. I wanted to be like that too, I thought I was the same just like you… I didn't want to give in, I wanted to learn, I wanted to know this world, never run away. And then yesterday I run away and cried myself to sleep, I was so immature, I even said the word 'stu…stu-."

She was almost back to normal, a good thing, I sighed.

"Blondie, its fine, you don't have to say it." She nodded against my chest. I was dying to hold her. "And blondie, here between you and me… I cried too yesterday…"

I said with a mock, I wasn't proud of the fact, then she looked into my eyes, she was surprised for the first time. I was surprised by every word she had said so far.

"Really? I don't believe you!" She said with her hands in her mouth.

"I did, horrible thing, indeed, but ah... the point is, Blondie, I'm not as though as people think, and yesterday you didn't act as immature as you think, you acted as any normal girl had acted. Since the begging of times."

She nodded and then she a gasped. So many thing were happening that I didn't want to blink in order to watch her.

"I called you Flynn!" She said that just if like she had said the most horrible thing in the world.

"I know, that's why I didn't follow you."

She hit me twice again.

"Woe woe woe, what was that for?" I said, she was drunk, like really drunk I just hoped she was going to remember this tomorrow.

"That was because you didn't run after me…!" She said hitting me again. "This because you kissed her." Hit hit hit. Ouch, ouch ouch. "And this because you didn't try harder to explain everything to me! And because I just can't-hate-you!"

"What?"

"I can't hate you! I can't! Why? I'm supposed to do that, the girl said that!"

"The girl is nuts."

"She also told me to slap you the moment I saw you."

"So that's the reason."

"And… she told me to hate you…"

I stood there, emotionless, what if she starts to hate me? And then a gasp escaped her mouth, I gasped too, her hands where tracing my face and that was unexpected. I didn't moved closer or away, I was just watching her, like if she were a firework show.

She probably must hate me.

"You don't hate me, right?" I said just like my life depended on it I was holding my breath.

"You are crying…" She said with a low voice and a soft face. It was a fact I was not aware of, her green eyes were sparkling just like if she had found something in me, something worth it. "You are crying… how Eugene? how can I hate you? You died for me, saved me in the tower, you make my day brighter just by the simple fact you exist, you brought me back to my parents and here you are, crying because you think I hate you. I love you, even if you told me you were in love with someone else, even if tomorrow you left me because of that, even if you think I'm a fool, I will still love you tomorrow, I think I will for the rest of my life."

And that was everything I need to hear. She loved me, as Flynn, As Eugene, as a poor and broken guy, as a though one, and she loved me today.

I have a list of kisses with Rapunzel: The most awkward, when her Father and Mother saw us in the street, the first one in the tower, that was a special one. The first time we kissed in a ball, the stolen kiss in the library, that one time she run to my class of poetry just to kiss me in the cheek because she felt like it. The first time we bet kisses; who could reach Max first? Who could learn the whole session first? Who could say more words that started with the same letter? The most amazing thing was that we both always won.

But this kiss is our favorite.

Because it was our first kiss when he both were tired, sad, angry, drunk, confused but above it all broken, and even thought it was by far the most horrible day in life since we both had come here to live, as princess and beau, it was the most emotional one, because with no words, we both agreed we loved each other. When we separated after a few seconds there was no need to speak or to say anything more. I heard a noise, recluntatly I looked over the head of Rapunzel, Max was watching the whole scene and then he lifted up and down his brows.

"Max is over there watching everything.." I said as I smiled. "Mind your business, horse."

She laughed and still hugging me she managed to say hi to Max, after a while I realized it must be by seven o'clock, it was already dark and we had to reach home. She hugged me hard by the middle as I hugged her rubbing her back, she was tired and then I decided to blame me for everything that was going to happen next.

"Eugene, forgive me."

I was about to start another conversation of 'why? I was the stupid one, blablabla' but I repressed myself.

"Its fine, Blondie, now let's go home." She nodded.

"Everything is starting to get weird in this second."

I laughed as Max came closer, he laughed at seeing Rapunzel in that condition, I scolded him.

"Tomorrow I will explain to you what being drunk means… and maybe what hangover is too."

She nodded, but she was not sure ot what she was doing anymore. She was my personal sun, she was all smiles and I was relieved, I felt so good I didn't want to go anywhere, but I had to. I got her in the back of Max, she managed to stay still for a while and then I climbed behind, I was sure she was going to fall sleep any moment.

"I feel tired."

"It's all right, sleep, I will make sure you don't fall." She leaned against my chest as I passed one arm by her waist, keeping her closer to me so she won't fall and with the other hand I had the straps of Max who walked as fast as he could without moving too much. I kissed her forehead, she didn't said a thing so I thought she was sleeping, anyway I wanted to talk to her.

"Forgive me, I didn't want to do it, it just happened…, you are my girl anyway, can you please tell me why I have to be so irresistable? Cause the thing is I just love you, you and no one else..." I said remembering the time in the library two days ago.

"Eugene…" She said with a sleepy voice.

"Mhhh?" I said surprised a little bit but happy she had heard me. Im so soooooooooft lately. I sighed.

"I always knew I was the only one."

I raised a brow but didn't say a thing, and just like if she was just reading my mind she said before falling asleep.

"No matter what, you always come back for me."

Hope you like it the same way I do! I always thought watching Rapunzel drunk would be the funniest thing ever! So I had fun.

And no, this is a happy chapter, not the happy ending, my friends.

Well review if you feel like it! It would totally make my day!

With love:
