Thank you all for my lovely Birthday messages! They really did make my day! The day after my birthday (After fantasising a boy I like taking me on a boat ride) My family brought over presents and my uncle (who has never seen Tangled or know anything about the plot) got me three flying lanterns. You can imagine how much Tangled fluff came to my head! And then my boss bought me the DVD! A very Tangled birthday indeed!
This may sound odd but I'm running off a suggestion made back in January by Christal Persian.
It took me a while to decide what Idea to run with next so I've been reading all of my reviews to see if there were any good ideas I've missed out on.
Heres one I should have realised had A LOT of potential!
And because it had so much potential -
Maybe I just threw in something to make up for my absence….
Who knows….maybe something I've been holding out on since Chapter 21 ;)
Mint - Part 1
Rapunzel burst through her bedroom door.
Tess, ready in waiting with a box of tissues, waited for the yay or ney.
"Did he ask?" Rapunzel, who had kept her front facing the door, turned around and showed her tear stained face to Tess.
"No." She sniffled as Tess lead her to the bed and handed her the tissues. "He just took me off for a romantic walk and then walked me to my room."
She threw the tissue behind her ( Pascal gave an outraged whirr as the box narrowly missed his head) and wiped her nose with the back of her sleeve.
"The closest I got to a proposal was 'I'll see you at breakfast'. Has he changed his mind?"
"No! of course not! Eugene loves you Rapunzel. He's just nervous. I'm sure of it."
Tess unravelled the plaits in Rapunzel's slightly longer hair, sat behind her on the bed and began to gently brush out the knots and tangles. "You know how men are! One minute they're all charming and confident the next they're shy little puppies who just want to know that someone loves them. Eugene is no different. It doesn't matter if you've been together one day or one year or ten years; All men are afraid of rejection. Think about it, it took your father what? Five years to propose to your mother? Eugene's ready to do it now after one year! Your lives have changed so much during the time you've known each other. Just give him time."
Rapunzel smiled. For a fifteen year old girl Tess was incredibly wise.
Rapunzel had been waiting a good three months for Eugene to propose. At first she was ecstatic - thrilled at the thought of marrying her beloved.
Then she was endeared that he was taking the time to plan out the proposal and not rush into anything.
Recently she was getting tired, stressed and upset that he hadn't asked her yet.
Was she too immature?
To clumsy?
Was she getting fat?
"I know that look Rapunzel. You are stunning, lovely and you are defiantly NOT fat! In fact - Go eat some cake, you make me sick with your skinniness!"
Tess whacked her gently on the arm with the wooden hairbrush as Rapunzel let out a little giggle before choking back a little hiccup.
"You know what Rapunzel. I think you need time off all this engagement stress. This calls for Girl Time!" Tess stood on the bed triumphantly as Rapunzel stared at her blankly.
"Girl time?"
Tess looked dejected
"Never had girl time?" Rapunzel gave her an "Incase you've forgotten" look.
"Nope. 18 years of cruel captivity remember."
"Oh, yes, sorry….I got a little bit carried away…ANYWAY! Girl time is when a group of girls get together and talk and do things that girls like to do."
Rapunzel perked up.
"Ooh like what?"
Tess paused for a moment, stroking her chin.
"Well….I don't really know…I've never had girl time before. But I've heard that you're suppost to do each others nails and eat and talk and get your hair done."
"Oh! Can Mother come?"
"I don't see why not. She is a girl….so I suppose she can come too"
"YAY!"
Both girls now jumped on the bed and hugged each other whilst Rapunzel jumped around in excitement.
"Wait-" Rapunzel threw herself down onto her pillows. " We can't stay here for girl time or Eugene will wonder what we're talking about. And he can't come because he's a boy!"
"Hmmm. That does put us in quite a predicament…..Maybe your mother knows somewhere we can go?"
At that very moment three hesitant knocks echoed from the door
"Rapunzel darling is everything alright? I heard screaming"
"Mother!" Before the Queen had time to prepare herself she was pulled into the room by the young girls.
"Mother, Tess and I have been talking and we were wondering if you would like to join us for Girl Time! - TA DA!"
Genevieve stared at her daughter for a moment
"Girl time?"
"Tess has been telling me all about it! It sounds like fun and I thought maybe you could come too because I never had fun with M…..Gothel…and I'd love it if we could. It would mean a lot to me."
After a lot of cheering and crying on the Queens part, Rapunzels mother agreed to accompany her daughter and the young maid.
"However I do agree with you, there is no where in the Kingdom where we can get much privacy….Rapunzel what about your friends from the other Kingdoms?"
"Oh but Princess Hattie is away and the Twin princesses are visiting Skalendia for prospect suitors"
Rapunzel sulked at her Mothers feet.
Genevieve then grinned with an idea
"What about Miss Foster?"
"Princess Lia! Of course mother what a smart idea! Lia is not to be married for another three weeks! I'll send her a message and we'll leave at dawn!"
By the time the women reached Bolnia the sun had just begun to rise over the mountainous land.
The carriage stopped as It reached the entrance of the grand castle. Atop the steps waited a young lady in a flowing floral gown and a flowered reath that perched atop her head of long red hair.
"Rapunzel I haven't seen you in so long!"
"Princess Lia!" The girls ran towards each other and embraced.
"Your Majesty it a pleasure to have you grace Bolnia." The young girl smiled at the beautiful Queen and dipped into a low curtsy.
"The pleasure is mine Princess. Thank you so much for having us here at such a short notice."
"Please call me Lia. It is costom here in Bolnia to treat our friends as family and who would turn away their own family? So please come inside; you must be exhausted from your travels and we have so much to talk about! I have a busy day of pampering prepared for us today!" The young princess linked arms with the unusually quiet Tess and lead them into the Castle.
Eugene had never been a morning person. To the average person he would seem quite chipper but his girlfriend would know better.
That's why every morning (as she was an early riser) she would sneak into his room and close the curtains before the suns rays awoke him. This practice had been going on so long it had been quite a shock when the burning sensation on his eyelids jolted him out of blissful sleep.
What had happened to Rapunzel?
King Jonathan had never been a morning person. To the average person he would seem quite chipper but his wife would know better.
That's why every morning (As she was an early riser) she would sneak out of the room and bring back a cup of coffee and gently wake him up. This practice had been going on so long it had been quite a shock when the burning sensation of coffee down his throat did not jolt him from blissfull sleep.
What had happened to Queen Genevieve?
Caleb had never been a morning person. To the average person he would seem quite chipper but Tess would know better.
That's why every morning (As she was an early riser) she would sneak into his room and chuck a pale of water on him to wake him up. This practice had been going on so long it had been quite a shock when there was no burning sensation of freezing water to jolt him from blissfull sleep.
What had happened to Tess?
So? Whats gonna happen I wonder? Don't worry I'll be posting the second part up quicker than you can climb a tower, be beaten by a frying pan, travel to the Kingdom, almost confess your love on a boat, go back to the tower, nearly die and live happily ever after ;)
BTW i've been thinking of changing my Author name from mrs Franny Robinson to Mrs Fitzherbert - what do you think?
Love you!
