A/N: 2 chapters left and only 4 reviews away from my goal, I started to feel unsure that it could happen to reach 150 reviews, now I don't doubt, thanks to my closest readers. Here comes the big party.
All Rapunzel's class mates were graduated and it was planned that they had a big party, they had gotten permission to hold their party in the park, it was tradition for one class to be able to do so at summer, this time it was them who to the permission and privilege to do so. The much room they had, made it much easier to make space. The only things demanded were to clean up everything afterwards and to pay a bit of money that they easily could afford with the many people they were in the class and they had already paid the money weeks ahead, it was all set up for a big party.
There was a nice lake, they were allowed to swim in it, but if any bottles or such got into it, they would have to pay high amounts of money to pay for getting it clean again.
The weather set fantastic up for a having a party at such a open place, they have put up a tent that could hold them for a place to eat and also keep the other supplies like beers, sodas and other things away from the sun and keep the taste cooled and give them a chance to sit down and eat or just if they were getting tired through the night where many of them acted like they would be having the party of their life.
Rapunzel's – and Eugene's parents have agreed to stay for making sure that everything would run smoothly and that no one would go beyond their limits in case someone would overdo it with the drinks and such, many people got there at six o'clock to gather for dinner and everyone chatted and seemed to be doing a great time, no worries, nothing to have in mind about having work done, it was just so beautiful, life right now was no less than fantastic for the young generation that had their future ahead and most of them seemed to be sure of what they would be doing afterwards while someone seemed to be in need of a break to find out what institution or such they'd apply to and meanwhile a lot have talked about going around and see the world and maybe learning new cultures and such. Alice had decided to go on with being artist and specialize with renaissance paintings and their meaning and influence on society. Maximus had already applied to Police school and had a great chance of acceptance because of his family's fabulous history in the force. Pascal had decided to leave the others for a while and explore animals that he'd specialize himself with, especially animals like chameleons and other reptiles had also interested him a lot and he therefor had decided to go the to Rain Forrest and go on with South America.
Rapunzel had agreed with Alice to keep on together and apply the same places, in that way they could work together as they had done a lot and made great results with and also make sure that their friendship would last that way and not make them out of contact too much time in a row before seeing each other.
Eugene had a talk with McAllister and it seemed that his injury had put an end to his dreams about working as a professional sportsman and he therefore as things seemed at this point would take some time off studies and work a bit to earn some money for a place to stay for not only himself, but for Rapunzel as well that he had minded to ask her to move in with him.
He had promised to let it leave for the time being while the celebrations were what he was doing with his other class mates, he had already met up with Pascal and Maximus to get ready and they drove off to start with Rapunzel's family who already had made their way to the tent in the park and most of the guests seemed to be there, even though still 12 men seemed to missing and they waited for 25 minutes for the last of them to show up, in the time they all appeared to be there and they started the festivities. But it was all before done in good time, so it was a well prepared party, especially thanks to the
After dinner, it was time for dancing at campus where they had been invited to end their festivities while most of the parents had agreed to help cleaning up the party. It all started like it did every year and the VC stood up and spoke to all the people that already seemed like they were pretty tired from the parties that they have held before the final end of all the festivities.
"Welcome graduating seniors. It's a pleasure for me to congratulated all of you for having making your way through these hard times that comes here at campus, but have sacrificed blood, sweet and tears and a big applaud to all who have made it through and good luck from here" Everyone applauded the VC for his words and as he led on, he looked over at Rapunzel nodding towards her.
"Now, it's my honour to present a student, that's not only role model for everyone here at campus with her passion for cheerleading for the soccer team, but also her ability to keep up in class and also a student who made the highest grade score in the history of this university where a lot of talented students have graduated over my time as VC, but never this great, please welcome Mrs Rapunzel Henderson" everyone applauded, but none as much as her friends and Eugene. She smiled out over the crowd as they kept silence for her to speak.
"Thanks, it's an honour to stand here in front of all of you, friends who have become an extended family and people I'll always remember and have with me in my heart, but to stand and say all the right things to you, I need someone up here with me, someone I hold every dear and couldn't imagine a future without, Eugene, will you come up here with me?" Eugene saw that people draw their attention towards him and he didn't mind to get up there with her, she had done the same when he stood and spoke at the final game at the season for the soccer team and if he could make her even more comfort in herself for him standing there, then it was all fine with him.
"Thanks Eugene, I stand here as the successful one, but he's of the biggest sources to my success, our mutual love for each other makes it possible for not me, but for us standing here today, together and I hope you remember that. My advice for other students would be to don't give up on your goals and find someone who holds you dear and where the feeling is mutual and let that be your source and inspiration, then nothing is impossible, not for us, we can make a change, I believe that we need to trust ourselves and have faith in the ones we care for and trust that our deepest and most inner dreams can come true if we fight enough for it, then they can come true, they at least have to me" Eugene was taken by surprise as Rapunzel kissed him in front of the whole school, as well as the teachers and everyone cheered for them, Gothel did as well and it had really been one heck of a night, Maximus had made a appointment with a friend of his to tape it and keep to Rapunzel and Eugene as a memory of this terrific night that never seemed to end as most people kept on partying and Rapunzel started to feel that she couldn't keep up most longer and sat with Eugene for some time and she decided that she wanted to go home, she found her parents talking with Eugene and it seemed like one cheerful talk they were having, she decided to go say goodbye to Maximus, Alice and Pascal before going home and spotted Pascal on his way out and he ran up to her and embraced her.
"Thanks for all this time Rapunzel and good luck with everything, I'm, leaving in a few days, so I don't know how much we'll see of each other before I leave, but I promise we'll meet again and we'll keep contact as well" Rapunzel said her goodbyes and went out to find Maximus and Alice that also were on their way out as most of the other seemed to finally have gone tired in partying.
"Thanks for everything you've done for us during our time here Rapunzel, you're a true friend, I'm sure Alice will have joy by keeping you around" Rapunzel were known as a very emotional girl and went into happy tears once again, she thought she had be running out of them soon enough, but it didn't seem like it.
"Thanks, Max. Please take good care of her, promise me to be there for her, she deserves that and you deserves to have a girl like her around you as well, you're made for each other"
"Just like you and Eugene. I promise you to be a gentleman to your friend, I wouldn't do anything else" Maximus then turned away with Alice on his arm as they waved to Rapunzel who waved back. She went back to get to Eugene, he had promised to spend the night with her after graduation as a way to insure her that things would turn out to be okay and not end everything that she held dear. It might was at a time when she was a little scared of things and she had been much more confident than she was at that time, but she still wanted to spend the night with her boyfriend, so she hoped that he wouldn't turn down things because of the changes they've been through.
She got back as Rapunzel's parents seemed to be done with Eugene and they turned to her and embraced their daughter.
"Ready to go Rapunzel?" Rapunzel shook her head.
"Eugene and I have agreed to be together, hope you don't mind" his father shook his head and embraced his daughter goodbye one last time before they went out, just before he went through the door, he turned around to face her.
"Girl, I am proud of you, your speech was stunning as well, you must never forget that. We love you my daughter"
"I love you too daddy, the both of you" they went out of the door as Eugene led out his arm as she grabbed it with both her arms and pulled herself close up to his side as it was a lifeline to her.
They left campus for the last time as they looked back at the building who held so many memories for both of them and their lives together that have started here.
So long Corona University Eugene thought to himself as he looked at Rapunzel who stood as much in thoughts as he did a moment ago.
Thanks for everything Rapunzel thought back to a place that have given her the best of friendships, a lovely boyfriend and grades that made her life full of opportunities that she never thought possible.
They took each others hands and walked over to Eugene's family that waited in a car for them at the sight of the two lovers that seemed to be a bit drunk as well, at least Eugene looked like one who'd end up with a big hangover. They knew at least he was up to something real special and they innerly hoped the best for him, even though they knew that things would surely end right for him.
As they arrived back home, Rapunzel and Eugene lay down on the bed and Rapunzel and Eugene seemed to be lost in thoughts about Rapunzel, what she didn't know was that he was also watching her beautiful body as she lay with back turned to him.
I can't imagine how life would be if I'm not with Eugene, right now as things are it seems pretty perfect to me Rapunzel thought to herself. What she didn't notice was that Eugene noticed and heard her mumble the last part as well.
If only you knew Rapunzel. If only you knew Eugene thought.
That was close to the end for this story and I expect to finish the last chapter Thursday or during the weekend, a little faster than expected, but I'd say I've done a fine job with these chapters and hopefully it'll all be ended as it should be, properly for my readers who deserves a good ending on what they've stocked by.
