"Eugene!" Flynn stiffened, "Where are you?!"
"Dang it…" Flynn muttered, "I was sure she'd be out till morning."
"Eugene!" Ms. Nikki yelled.
"Coming!" Flynn yelled getting off his bed.
Rapunzel walked beside Flynn when he stood up. Flynn looked at her confused, "I don't trust Mot-Gothal," she stated.
Jack nodded in agreement and Flynn sighed. Flynn and Rapunzel walked out, but the others stayed hidden where they could watch, "Why is she still here?" Ms. Nikki asked.
"Project," Flynn stated.
"It's almost seven!" Ms. Nikki yelled.
"And the project is due Monday," Flynn stated crossing his arms.
Ms. Nikki groaned, "You and those brats are annoying…" she stated.
"What?" Merida hissed.
"She needs a few quarters," Tooth growled.
Sandy kept the children asleep with worried looks, "How did we miss this?" Bunny asked shocked.
"Jobs," Jack stated.
The Guardians winced, "Don't call them brats," Rapunzel stated, "They're children who need homes!"
Ms. Nikki glared at Rapunzel, "Who do you think you are Girly?" she asked.
"If she raises her hand towards Punz…" Merida threatened her hand going to the arrow case on her back.
Rapunzel glared crossing her arms, "Blondie, stop," Flynn stated holding his arm somewhat protectively in front of Rapunzel, "What did you want Ms. Nikki?"
"Who's been drinking my beer," Ms. Nikki asked, "I just bought it!"
Flynn glared, "No one but you," he stated, "I wouldn't touch that stuff even if it meant me leaving this place with the kids."
Hiccup held his hand up to stop Toothless from jumping to Rapunzel's aid, at least, not yet, "Then where the heck did it go?!" Ms. Nikki yelled.
"In your mouth…" Flynn muttered, "I don't know. I don't even go in the kitchen because there's not even food in there. Just alcohol."
Everyone in the room went wide eyed and turned to the kids, "Okay," Merida growled lowly, "I'm killing that woman…" Hiccup and Jack quickly grabbed Merida before she did something stupid.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Ms. Nikki growled.
"It means you don't do want you're supposed to," Rapunzel stated deadpanned.
"Stay out of this!" Ms. Nikki yelled at her.
"I will not!" Rapunzel yelled, "This is child neglect! Why'd you even start this orphanage if you don't even care for children?!"
Everything seemed to happen in slow motion. Ms. Nikki raised her hand to hit Rapunzel and Hiccup, Jack, and Merida went to stop her, but Flynn pushed Rapunzel away and took the hit, "Eugene!" Rapunzel yelled.
Flynn held his left eye, "Ow," he muttered.
Rapunzel bent down to Flynn, "Stupid boy," Ms. Nikki stated and raised her hand again.
"Drop it!" Merida yelled holding her bow and arrows with an angry face.
"What the-who the heck are you?" Ms. Nikki asked.
"Merida Dunbroch," Merida stated, "And I said to back away from them."
"You may be rich, but you can't tell me what to do Dunbroch," Ms. Nikki stated.
Tooth flew over to Flynn, her inner mother coming into play, completely unseen by Ms. Nikki. Hiccup came out on Toothless, "Dragon…" Ms. Nikki said frightened now.
"If you won't listen to a Dunbroch," Hiccup stated angrily, "Then maybe you'll listen to a Dragon Trainer."
Toothless growled dangerously. Ms. Nikki backed away, "Nice Night Fury…" she said scared.
Rapunzel smiled at her friends, "Nobody hurts our friends," Merida stated, "Even if one is a playboy…"
Flynn looked at Merida and Hiccup confused, but then held his eye again, "Since when does Eugene have any friends?" Ms. Nikki asked, "Let alone people like yoooo-ah!" Ms. Nikki suddenly slipped on some frost and fell down the stairs.
Jack floated above the stairs, "Whoops," he said, "She was supposed to go backwards…not down the stairs…"
Rapunzel leaned over the railing, "Is she ok-ah!" the railing cracked.
"Rapunzel!" Jack quickly caught her, but got pulled down as well, "Whoa!"
Flynn quickly grabbed them, "Oh good grief your cold!" Flynn yelled.
"Sorry," Jack said and let the wind fly him and Rapunzel back up.
Flynn rubbed his hands together to get them warm again, "What the heck happened?!" Merida yelled.
"This house is extremely old," Flynn stated, "I'm surprised the floor hasn't given out yet."
"Are you okay, Punz?" Jack asked.
"Yeah," Rapunzel nodded, "I'm fine. Pitch and M-Gothal are scarier."
Tooth flew down to Ms. Nikki, "I believe she's okay," she said, "No bleeding, but she may have a headache when she wakes up."
Rapunzel sighed with relief then turned to Flynn, "Let me fix your eye," she said, grabbing an end of her hair.
"I'm fine, really," Flynn said, "She's done much worse."
"What?" the Guardians yelled.
"If I hadn't sworn off killing…" Kelly muttered.
"Hold still," Rapunzel said, "And close that eye. I don't want you in more pain or go blind from the glowing."
Flynn sighed, but closed his eyes. Rapunzel place her hair straight over Flynn's eye and began to sing her healing song. Once she finished, she removed her hair and Flynn opened his eyes, "That felt weird," he stated.
Rapunzel giggled, "So, what do we do about her?" Kelly asked pointing to the unconscious woman at the bottom of the stairs.
"Nothing you can do," Flynn stated, "Trust me, I've tried, but there are no other orphanages in this area and they won't move us out of this area unless we're adopted."
"Well that's stupid!" Merida yelled, "You guys are being abused and neglected…where the heck do you even get food?!"
Flynn winced slightly at Merida's loud tone, "Don't wake the kids," Flynn hissed, "And I have my ways…"
Everyone stared at Flynn, "You steal…" Rapunzel said breathlessly.
"Wouldn't you?" Flynn snapped slightly.
North said some things in Russian then in English, "Oh I feel so stupid," he said, "Zis is vhy you are on Naughty List every year since you vere seven…"
Flynn rolled his eyes, "Oh you poor dears!" Tooth said motherly.
"Stop it, alright," Flynn snapped, "This is why I never told anybody. I don't want pity."
Everyone was silent until Merida glared, "You're a big idiot," she stated causing Flynn to turn to her in shock, "Punz…call your parents while I call mine."
"What?" Flynn asked, "What are you doing?"
Merida pulled out her phone and rolled her eyes, "My family is of Scotland Royalty," she stated, "We still have a huge influence in Scotland…that woman is going to jail even if I have to point an arrow at the guy at the top," she began punching in numbers, "Punz, call your parents and tell them they're going to have a few more kids for a while."
"What?!" Flynn yelled, but noticed Rapunzel pull out her phone, "Blondie!"
"I wouldn't try to stop them," Jack stated, "Once they set their mind to something, it's not easily changed."
"Oh come on!" Flynn yelled, "I'm fine how I am."
"Mom," Merida walked away, "I need your help…"
"Can I talk to my mom or dad please?" Rapunzel stated then was quiet for a while, "Dad? I need a favor…" Rapunzel walked down the stairs.
"Oh great…" Flynn muttered.
