Warnings: Starvation and Emotional neglect.
Arianna and Rapunzel were sitting on the hill by the Tower.
"You know the only gift I got before I left Corona that I was actually able to keep? A dress that I shrunk out of.". Arianna told Rapunzel. Rapunzel looked at her. "Before I ran away, I got really sick and lost all my weight." Arianna explained as she looked at the ground. "Arianna, I didn't know. I'm so sorry." Rapunzel replied and put a hand on her back. Arianna smiled a little bit. "Anyway, I would put it on and no one could see me. Seemed appropriate.". Arianna stood up.
"Hentiz der Sonne, Demetrius, Robin XI…"
Arianna listed the names of her ancestors.
"I've always been a smart girl
Always made the grade, always got the gold star
I've always been a smart girl
But smart girl only gets a girl so far"
Arianna remembered her tutoring back when she was a princess and studying Coronan law.
"You win at every single game"
Arianna remembered winning a horse race when she was a little girl.
"You want a quest, they tell you tough
If you don't go you'll never know if you'll ever be good enough"
Arianna remembered the night she ran away from Corona.
"My grand plan
Is that I will be remembered"
Arianna looked up at the stars. Rapunzel put her hand on her shoulder.
"My grand plan
Just you wait and see"
Arianna turned to Rapunzel.
"You better wise up,"
Arianna pointed to the ground.
"cause I'll rise up"
Arianna pointed to the sky.
"Bring on any challenge
And someday soon someone will notice me"
Arianna grabbed Rapunzel's hand.
"I've always been a tough girl"
Arianna put her hands on her hips.
"Always been the one not to run from a fight
Always been a tough girl
Cause most girls never win if they're polite"
Arianna remembered sword fighting with Gothel the night of Rapunzel's kidnapping. She remembered raising the silver sword above her head and putting her other hand out in front of her.
"So me, I tend to stand my ground"
Arianna put her hands on her hips.
"I found I never can give in
It may not be my quest but maybe it's mine to win"
Arianna took Rapunzel's hands in her hands.
"My grand plan
Is that I will be remembered"
Arianna looked up at the stars.
"My grand plan
Just you wait and see
You better wise up, cause I'll rise up"
Arianna pointed to the ground and then to the sky.
"Bring on any challenge"
Arianna grabbed Rapunzel's hand.
"And someday soon the world will notice me"
Arianna looked at the stars.
"And your daughter's stepmom treats you like some freak"
Arianna remembered getting struck in the heart with a black rock by Gothel.
"And your friends' dad won't tell you what you need to hear"
Arianna remembered overhearing Frederic and Quirin's conversation on the night of the Sundrop Expedition and crying .
"And your friend's mom won't trust you with a princess"
Arianna remembered seeing Gothel jump out the window as she lay on the ground bleeding.
"So the best thing you can do is run away
Run away"
Arianna remembered the night she ran away from Corona and Frederic and Cassandra were chasing her, calling her name. Rapunzel put her hand on her back and smiled a sad and sympathetic smile at her.
"But I have a plan
And I will be remembered"
Arianna looked up at the stars in the sky.
"I will be brave
Just wait and see"
Arianna got up off the ground.
"You better wise up, cause I'll rise up"
Arianna pointed to the ground and then to the sky.
"Bring on any challenge"
Arianna grabbed Rapunzel's hand.
"And someday soon I swear
I don't know how or when"
Arianna shook her head.
"But I promise you I'll never be invisible again"
Arianna spun around.
"Someone will notice
Me"
Arianna pointed to herself with her thumbs and smiled.
"I've always been a smart girl"
"Hentiz der Sonne, Demetrius, Robin XI… Arianna.". Arianna smiled. Rapunzel hugged her.
