Hello!

Im still alive! Well this is a new chapter of this story I have come to love. I loved every review that you posted! and thanks to somone named MO.I decided to update today!

I hope you had a great valentine's day by the way. Mine was not that good, but I wish yours was.

If you have an Eugene out there, I think you did have a great day.

Disclaimer: Im not the owner of Tangled. Swear.

I have looked everywhere, in every single part of this town and Rapunzel was nowhere to be found, I could spot Eugene far away from me asking people, looking for her too. Suddenly, three hours later I didn't see him anymore, Marine couldn't find a trace of her and I was starting to get really desperate.

What is going to happen if we don't find her?

Relax Sebastian, we will find her; no one is going to hurt her… right? Jesus, and I was the one to blame for this. Who leaves a girl alone in the middle of the night? Girls with broken hearts are very… very… impulsive, what if…

What if she committed suicide? What I if she did something to herself? What if another guy…

"Sir." Peter, one of my guards came to me. "There is still no trace of her we-"

"Keep looking!" I said as we passed the library, I remembered the time we went to the library. She bought a book for Flynn, I believe she never gave it to him. Never had the chance…

"Of course, your majesty." He bowed and before he went away I stopped him.

"Peter, was time it is?"

"I believe is seven O'clock, your majesty."

I nodded and he left. One hour, just one hour more and I was going to tell her parents, as Flynn ordered me.

I looked around watching the palace far away from me now.

"Flynn, hurry up…"

Then it hit me. If he came with her, Rapunzel's parents are going to love him even more. At least the Queen, but it seems to me that the Kings is accepting Flynn too. And I just can't let that happen.

I needed a plan, then something came to my mind.

Finally we made to the village, Rapunzel was asleep and Max was tired, we entered the city at nine something, it was pretty dark and some light hanged outside some houses. Some people was outside but in general everything was silent. I sighed, by now I was sure her parents knew about what had happened, as I told Sebastian to do.

They are going to kill me. It wont matter if I found her. The first time they were both- yeah even the King- grateful with me, but this time I am sure they are going to be angry, cause this time I was the reason why she left. Even Gabriel is going to be angry, her sweet mother, if she was against me, I could start saying goodbye.

Rapunzel moved her head making me fall again in reality, Max started to walk to the direction of the castle. He was silent too, he knew something was about to happen, good or bad so he tried to make it last. The next two minutes the only thing that crossed my mind was Rapunzel, as I examined her under the moonlight. Her nose, with freckles if I watched carefully, her lips so pink I could tell she never used make up, I liked her that way. Her hair, now so short and color chocolate, I smiled, I remembered her with golden hair, twirling around, she never recriminate me for cutting her hair and I was glad for that. And her eyes… even if they were closed now I could say that was the most mesmerizing thing about her. They were huge, brilliant and-of course!- full of energy.

Finally we made to the entrance, like half a dozen of aliens where outside the castle, in the moment they spotted us they run into the palace. Just one of them came to us.

"Are you all right?" He asked worried. "Is she okay?"

I nodded, he helped me with Rapunzel, then when I was back to my own feet, I carried her. Keeping her close to me, I sighed.

"Are her parents..." I started trailing off. No time to get scared, Eugene. "Are her parents aware of this?"

He nodded, he was worried I could see that, but not for me.

"By now, I'm sure one of our guards had told me you came here, Our Highness told them about eight O'clock"

Just like I told him… I just wished I could have been faster. Scratch that, I just wished I had never seen Melanie. She was the problem, not me. But who cares now?

"All right, let's go inside then, shall we?"

He nodded and then he pointed to Rapunzel with his head.

"What happened, Sir?" He said with a mortifying voice. "We couldn't find her anywhere, we were thinking the worse, but here you are!"

I smiled in the direction of Rapunzel, for him, she looked a little bit tired, with her dirty clothes and pale face. For me she looked like a gorgeous angel.

"She run away…" He opened his eyes, in shock.

"Why, sir?" His voice filled with concern. "Course if I'm not-"

"She is a girl, she has the right to run away when a guy breaks her heart don't you think?" And then I started making my way to the castle.

Two guards opened the gates as I walked in, the whole castle was filled with Aliens everywhere, and I was aware every person there was watching me now, some with relief, some of them with concern. I sighed. Why I have to be the center of all? I walked to the thrones chamber, where I was sure Mom and Dad were waiting for me…

"We made it, Blondie…" I said as I looked the closed doors with fear, two guards stared at us before opening them, they were both angry. "Well at least you, Blondie."

Breathe.

In. Out. In. Out

Everything is going to be fine, I'm Flynn Rider and I'm sure an excuse is going to come to my head in any second. Everything is going to be just fine. I looked at Rapunzel that seemed so comfortable... in peace, just like she knew everything was going to be perfect.

And then why I have this feeling… that is not?

The doors closed behind me, I looked around the room, there were only five people. Two aliens, Sebastian, Gabrielle and the King…

The reactions?

All of them sighed in relief as they saw Rapunzel in my arms, alive and back in the castle again. In just one piece and soon able to talk and walk. I would have laughed but I managed to stay calm.

Suddenly her father started yelling, Sebastian, who was smiling at me, became worried, and Gabrielle just walked to my direction to hug her daughter.

What happened next?

I think I shall not tell you, it is painful, it is crazy and above it all.

Unfair.

But I think is not going to be a good story without that part, right?

"Who on earth, do you think you are Flynn Rider?" Her father yelled at me, I didn't want to talk, but god's must hate me, because he was waiting for a response.

"It was never my intention, Sir." I managed to say.

"Never your intention! It is never your intention! First you steal our crown, then you act like if the world where yours! You committed a lot of crimes, Flynn Rider, and you were forgiven of all of them because you brought my daughter back to us. I forgave you!I wanted to believe that you were a good man!"He said motioning to me.

Not a soul dared to breathe or say anything.

"I just-"

"I should have known better. A thief and a liar, that's what you are!"

"Sir, if you let me explain!" I said still holding Rapunzel with all my might. Gabrielle rushed to his husband side, to calm him, but it didn't worked.

"Explain? What Exactly, Rider?" He said hissing. "That you went in the middle of the night to a Pub to just cheat on my daughter?"

I was stunned, he knew? I looked to Sebastian, he had a half smile on his face. Even Gabrielle stopped to watch me.

"You bastard-" I said in his direction In a low voice, die! Go and throw yourself off a cliff! "Your majesty, that didn't happen, I swear!"

"Eugene…" Finally Gabrielle was talking, she was not mad at me, but neither happy. "What happened?"

"Does it matter? He betrayed her." The king said in her direction, like if he could not believe what has happened to her wife. "Rapunzel run away because of him! Who knows what could have happened!"

"I know." She said in a decided tone. "But she is all right."

The king was stunned, but that didn't make the angry mood go away.

"That does not make him any less guilty."

She slowly nodded.

"I know"

"I'm not asking for that." I said in a decided tone both of them looked at me. "For me that Rapunzel is all right is more than enough."

"And she is fine thanks to you." Gabrielle was half smiling. "You brought her again-"

"All right?" Sebastian suddenly opened his foolish, idiotic, unwise mouth. If gazes could kill, he would be dead twice. Queen and King stared at him. I just hate him so much right now… "She is unconscious! Her clothes are dirty and to me she looks a little bit pale. She is everything but all right. She needs rest."

"Who you think you are to say what needs to be done?" I said in his direction. He betrayed me, I accept the fact that we were not friends and now that's the way it is going to be. Cause it doesn't matter that he was looking for her too, he told her parents about the kiss, the half a second kiss I shared with Melanie. They are never going to believe in me!

"You are no one to decide either, Rider." Her father said in a harsh tone. "Lightwater, please take my daughter to her room, one of my guards will show you the way."

I saw how Sebastian nodded and made my way to me with a smile on his face and when he was close enough he asked in a whisper.

"How did you find her?" I moved an inch back, I didn't want him to have her, but I could not refuse if I wanted things to go well.

"…traitor, you betrayed me" I said in a whisper too, my voice full of anger. He chuckled. I always thought I didn't hate anybody, cause of all feelings hate is a big word... right now he is the guy.

If he died tomorrow, I would throw a party.

Wow, I wanted to kick the guy so much it really took over my strength to not do it.

"Everything is allowed in war and love." He said almost singing, he lifted his hands in my direction. "I will take her from here" He said that loud enoug for her parents to hear.

"You lied to them" I stated. "and you are so fucking wrong if you think this ends here." I said with a decided tone.

"Flynn…" He said as I, against my will, gave Rapunzel to him. He managed to carry her and when she was all right and comfortable as a girl can be in his arms, we both stared at each other. With so much anger and hate I was sure it was almost palpable, I bit my tongue, I didn't want things to go worse. "This already ended."

When the doors were closed again I looked to her parents, the only ones in the room now.

We were in silence, so much silence I was about to go crazy so I decided to talk.

"Your majesty, things didn't work out as I planned yesterday I-"

"Obviously."

"-but if you could just hear… understand what happened."

"There is no need." The king sat in his throne, he was tired and her wife petted his hair. "Sebastian told us everything."

That bastard…

"He lied." I stated, both of them looked at me in surprise.

"Yeah? You could be lying too as far as I know" The king said.

"Touché." I said half smiling then it vanished. "But you have to believe in me."

"I want to believe in you" Gabrielle said with hard tone, now I didn't understand. Why she was acting like that? Her of all people? "But if you loved our daughter so much, why she run away? If he lied… there was no reason to Rapunzel to leave."

They both waited for a response, I sighed, in order to be with her I was going to tell her parents about Melanie.

It is worth it. She was worth it.

"I can explain." I said as I approached, when I was close enough I started talking. "There used to be a girl, all right, but years ago. Her name was Melanie."

They looked at each other and then back at me.

"We used to be together, but then I just realized I wanted to move on, I didn't want to be with her anymore, so we talked, and in the end I left her."

"Why" The king asked, I was about to talk when Gabrielle stopped me.

"Please continue." She said in a soft voice. I nodded, I almost smiled, I didn't want to touch that part of the story.

"A year passed or so and then I found out she was dead, years passed since the last time I heard of her. I believed she was dead, and just two nights ago I found Melanie in a tavern. Here in the kingdom. We agreed to meet again, I mean, she was dead! And then I saw her alive, so I needed to know how, right? She had a story to tell. So we agreed to see each other again, just one more time. When we did she kissed me. Why? You should ask her! The thing is… that the kiss didn't even lasted a second, but Rapunzel was in the wrong moment... When I wanted to explain… she was too hurt to even listen."

"But-"

"I'm not blaming her." I said with a decided tone cutting him off. "I was the careless one. That's all. I should have known better."

The king raised a brow. Please, god if you love me please help me on this one!

"What about Sebastian? Why should I believe you? Why should he be lying?"

This was the hardest part because I lied. Not because I liked him, it was just because thing were just wrong. Why I would want to start another fight?

"He was with Rapunzel when that happened. Maybe he thought the same as her, maybe he thought I was cheating on her. But I was not. It was only a kiss."

Gabrielle nodded and the king breathed slowly.

"And why my daughter does not know about this girl?"

I shrugged, I was sure of that part at least.

"She is not important anymore. The kiss Rapunzel saw was a mistake." I tried to find the words in my head to say the last part of this story. "I love your daughter, and she is everything I need and the only girl I want to be with. Melanie is not part of my life anymore, alive or not. Rapunzel is. And I'm going to mend myself for everything. Im just asking you to believe in me"

"Why?"

"She does." was my answer.

Gabrielle smiled in my direction but the king was not even close to believe in me, but something in his eyes changed, I was sure, maybe they are going to believe in me now? To forgive me?

"You love her?" Her father said, I nodded and Gabrielle chuckled. Even I smiled.

"More than you can ever imagine, your highness." I said in a decided tone, The Queen smiled and then she hugged me in a maternal way.

"I was worried about both of you, thanks for bringing her back."

I smiled.

"My pleasure."

Who said this was the end, Paul?

Good one Flynn! You made it. You made it, you made it! I could have danced all around, but cool as I am I limited myself to smile. However, the king looked over my head, ignoring me for a second.

"Funny." That voice… I knew it so well I didn't need to see the person, but I did anyway.

I turned just to find out Melanie was standing in the middle of the room, with a beautiful purple dress and long hair, she had a sad smile so fake even I could tell that. I was in shock and what the hell she was doing here,anywhay?

Whatever the reason, it is not good.

"Who are you?" The king asked in surprise. This can't be good, I wanted to answer first but the words never reached my mouth.

"I'm Melanie" She said with a bow and then she cracked a smile. "And I am Flynn's wife."
