"So cats are eating chameleons now?" asked Rapunzel as we went into the classroom, where I nodded my head yes while Flynn said. "Well, at least they're not eating frogs, am I right?"

Rapunzel and I looked at him, annoyed.

"Does he look like a frog to you?" I asked, pointing at Pascal.

"Well, he sticks his tongue out like a..."

Before Flynn could continue, Pascal changed from color to color, then disappeared.

"OK, now I see what you mean." he concluded, realizing frogs can't do anything that a chameleon like Pascal would do.

"Don't worry, Pascal." I assured. "As long as you're safe in here, we won't wet those bad puddy tats get you."

Relieved to hear those words, Pascal climbed up to my shoulder and hugged my chin.

"Less hugging, more hiding, buddy." reminded Rapunzel. "We don't want Chef Adam to see you, remember?"

Upon hearing that, Pascal quickly turned himself invisible.

"Now I know you folks have been asking to do this for quite some time." said Chef Adam during his morning speech. "And who am I to deny your request?

"So, by popular demand," he went on. "I've decided to host our own Impossible Cooking Challenge."

"Oh, boy!" said Curly. "I always wanted to do an impossible challenge."

"With you, everything's impossible." said Moe, who, then, asked Chef Adam. "So what's the prize if we win, chefy?"

"Oh, ho, ho, there's no actual prize." said Gothel, who stood outside our door again. "The satisfaction of your patrons are more than enough for a reward."

"Now that's not what I call a prize." said Larry.

"Yeah." agreed Moe. "We need something that'll really shake things up."

While hearing him and Larry talk, I looked at Rapunzel. And that's when it hit me. Her freedom could be that prize.

I stood up and announced. "We'll take the challenge! And if we succeed, Rapunzel gets to leave JobTrain whenever she wants."

The other chefs gasped upon hearing that.

Having heard it as well, Gothel turned back and said to me coldly. "I thought I made it clear that you have lost your speaking privileges."

"You can't keep us quiet forever, Gothel!" I said back. "In fact, I speak for everyone when I say we're tired of you pushing us around and making Rapunzel feel like a prisoner inside JobTrain."

"I'm only doing what's best for my little flower." said Gothel. "And you all know it!"

"Well, we know you've been keeping Rapunzel cooped inside for too long." I said. "So I say...let her go!"

One by one, the chefs chanted. "Let her go! Let her go! Let her go!"

Even the Minions joined in. "Seep la go! Seep la go! Seep la go!"

The chants kept on going until Gothel finally snapped. "ENOUGH!"

At once, everyone fell silent until Chef Adam said. "On a side note, I'm getting tired of you interrupting my morning announcements."

"And breaking our dishes!" added Larry, who tossed a dish away, only to see it break in the process.

"Whoops." he said upon seeing all of us glaring at him, including Moe, who said. "You did that on purpose."

As he bonked Larry on the head, Gothel calmly walked up to me, and, with a cold stare, said. "Your challenge, Mr. Rosenberg, is to present an original recipe...by lunchtime."

"Is that all?" asked Flynn. "Pfft. That's easier said than done."

"BUT..." added Gothel. "Should you fail to impress...you and your cousin will never set foot here...again."

Upon hearing this, the chefs muttered softly to one another.

I looked at Flynn, who gave a nod, then back at Gothel, to whom I replied. "Deal."

"Then...chop, chop, chop!" she said, clapping her hands. "I'll be back at one to check on your progress."

Just as she did the last few times, Gothel slammed the door behind her, resulting in a much louder CRASH from the dishes.

"Hopefully, this will be the last time she does this." said Larry.

"You said a mouthful, porcupine." agreed Moe.

"Don't you mean 'plateful?' Nyuk, nuyk, nuyk." chortled Curly, who was, then, bonked on the head.

As the chefs went into the kitchen to prepare for lunch, Rapunzel walked up to me, saying. "You know, you don't have to do this."

"I know." I said. "But, like I said, nobody wants to stay cooped up here forever. And I know just the recipe that'll be the ultimate mind changer."
