Chapter 11 ~ Two Days Left
Rapunzel smiled dreamily as she watched Eugene play with Flynn from her window.
Eugene knelt on the ground and the dog ran up to him, and leapt on him with enough strength to push him onto his back. Eugene growled playfully at the animal as it pinned him down. He looked up and smiled when he saw that the young brunette girl he'd found on the beach that day watching. He waved at her, and she waved back, before slipping further back into her room.
Eugene's eyes sparkled as his smile widened. He was actually really looking forward to taking her around his kingdom tomorrow, and could only hope that she felt the same way.
Rapunzel smiled as she brushed her hair with her fork.
"This has got to be, without a doubt, the single, most humiliating day of my life. I hope you appreciate what I go through for you, young lady," Maximus grumbled.
Rapunzel placed her fork down on the table, before walking over to her bed. She crawled under the covers and nuzzled her head into the pillow, before giving Max a look that he knew meant 'thank you'.
Maximus chuckled, "Now, we got to come up with a plan to get that boy to kiss you. Tomorrow, when he takes you for that ride, you gotta look your best. You gotta bat your eyes and pucker up your lips, like this..."
Maximus batted his eyes and puckered up his lips, before realising that she was already fast asleep. Max shook his head, and blew out the candle on the bed side table. He hopped onto her pillow, and before falling asleep himself, he whispered, "You're hopeless, child. You know that? Completely hopeless..."
Meanwhile, looking out the window of a palace nestled among the restless waves, King Triton anxiously waited for news on Rapunzel's whereabouts.
Just then, Harold swam up behind him.
"Any sign of them?" Triton asked desperately.
"No, Your Majesty," Harold replied sadly. "We searched everywhere. We've found no trace of your daughter, or Maximus."
"Well keep looking. Leave no shell unturned, no coral unexplored. Let no one in this kingdom sleep until she's safe at home," Triton ordered, tears welling up in his eyes.
"Yes, sire," Harold bowed, before swimming off.
Triton slowly sat in his throne, "Oh, what have I done? What have I done?"

Poor Triton... please review!
