Chapter 37

After they all looked at the good view of the tower, Sora said, "Let's check it out!"

"Race ya to the tower!", shouted Natsu as he ran off towards the tower.

"Oh yeah?", shouted Gray, Soar, and Gajeel as they ran after him.

"I wonder who built this tower here?", question Erza.

"Who knows.", said Laxus as he and everyone else headed towards the tower.

As they reached the tower, Natsu, Sora, Gray, and Gajeel stopped running and saw Flynn climbing down the tower. Flynn looked and saw long golden hair flying out of the window and falling towards the ground. Flynn doged the hair and he saw a girl riding her hair down from the tower, and she was laughing. She immediately stop when she was close to the ground. Carefully, the girl touched the grass with her foot and brought her other foot down to the ground. She felt the grass between her toes and she sat on the ground with pure joy.

"It's so soft!", she said happily as the wind blew and dandelions flew in the air. "I'm free… I'm really free!"

The girl ran passed the group, not even noticing them, and headed towards the pond.

"Holy crap that's a lot of hair!", said a surprise Natsu.

"No kidding!", said Gray.

"Flynn, good to see you in one piece!", said Sora as Flynn got down and came up towards them.

"Guys! You're here, and just in time.", said a happy Flynn.

They all looked confused at what he just said. They all looked at the girl while she was playing in the pond.

"Oh… Who's she?"

"And why does she have so much hair!", asked Happy.

"Uh, that would be Rapunzel.", answered Flynn. "Something tells me this could be her first time outdoors. Give her a few minutes to get used to it."

"First time ever?", they all said with shock.

Back into the woods, Rapunzel looked at the sky with excitement as the sun shined down at her golden hair.

"I can't believe I did this!", she said. But then her expression turned to shock. "I can't believe I did this." Then her expression turned into excitement again and she jumped up and down. "I can't believe I did this!"

She then turned sad. "Mother would be so furious if she knew I disobeyed her and left the tower…"

"But that's okay-I mean, what she doesn't know won't kill her… Right?", she said as she sat on a rock in the pond while holding a water lily. Sora, Flynn, and Erza watched from behind.

"Oh my gosh. This would kill her.", Rapunzel said in a worried tone while she sat in a cave alone with her face buried in her legs. Flynn, Goofy, Natsu, and Happy watched from outside of the cave.

"This is so fuuuuuun!", Rapunzel shouted as she run around in a field of flowers and kicked the leaves in the air while her hair was dragging on the ground. Flynn, Donald, Gajeel, and Lily watched from the sidelines.

"I am a horrible daughter. I'm going back.", she said in a sad dramatic tone while standing on a tree branch with her back arched and her head against the tree. Flynn, Sora, and Lucy watched her from the ground.

"I am never going back!", Rapunzel shouted as she cartwheel down the hill of flowers and then falling and rolling down the hill, making her long hair wrap around her entire body. Goofy, Gray, and Juvia watched her tumbled down.

"I am a despicable human being.", Rapunzel sadly blubbered as she laid down underneath a shade with her face buried in grass. Flynn sat next to her looking bored while Donald, Wendy, and Charle looked at her with concern.

Rapunzel was swing around a big tree with her hair while Flynn, Sora, and Laxus were leaning against it. She happily shouted while swinging, "Best. Day. Ever!"

After running around the forest, Rapunzel was seen sitting on the ground, leaning against a rock, crying.

After seeing enough, Flynn and the group came up to her to see how she was doing.

"I notice you seem a little at war with yourself here.", said Flynn.

"A little…", said Goofy.

"More like a lot!", everyone said.

Rapunzel looked up, saw the group, and gasped. She immediately got up, grab her frying pan, and pointed the pan at the group threateningly. "Stop right there! Who are you?", she asked demandingly.

"You're just noticing us!", said a stun Happy.

Flynn quickly came up to her and said, "I told you before: my sidekicks."

"What was that?!", shouted an angry Natsu.

"Calm down, Natsu!", said Lucy as she grab Natsu, preventing him from attacking Flynn.

Flynn backed away nervously, then said, "May I introduce, ehh…"

Sora realized that Flynn wants him to introduce himself. "Oh, uh… My name's Sora."

"Donald!", said Donald as he raised his arms in excitement.

"I'm Goofy. Pleasure, ma'am.", said Goofy as he waved his hand.

"My name is Lucy.", she said as she let go of Natsu after he calmed down.

"My name's Natsu!", he said as he ran up towards Rapunzel. "Nice to meet ya, Rapunzel!"

"I'm Happy!"

"Name's Gray."

"Juvia. Gray-sama belongs to me!", said Juvia as she hugged Gray.

"My name is Erza."

"I'm Wendy."

"Charle."

"Gajeel."

"My name is Panther Lily. But you may call me Lily."

"Laxus."

Rapunzel continued to hold her frying pan threateningly. "Sora, Donald, Goofy, Natsu, Lucy, Happy, Gray, Erza, Juvia, Wendy, Charle, Gajeel, Panther Lily, and...Laxus." She then lowered the pan and hold it in front of her chest. She smiled and said, "It's...nice to meet you, too. I'm Rapunzel."

"Yep. My sidekicks.", Flynn said with satisfaction.

Sora grabbed Flynn's shoulder and pulled him towards the group.

"Since when is that?", whispered Sora in an annoyed tone.

"Yeah, what the hell is with this 'sidekick' crap?", asked Gajeel in an angry tone, making Flynn back away a bit.

"Look, she really wants to see the lantern show tomorrow night.", Flynn whispered. "Now, I'm a nice guy, so I've decided to help her. Only problem is those monsters might show up again. I can get her to the Kingdom-but you guys are clearly more cut out for combat."

"That's 'cause we're heroes!", said Donald.

"Uh-huh."

"And we're Heartless experts.", said Goofy.

"Yeah, yeah!"

"Just leave it to us!", said Sora to Rapunzel.

"Done."

"A lantern show does sound fun!", said Wendy.

"Sounds entertaining.", said Charle.

"If there's a festival, then that means there's food!", said an excited Natsu.

"More specifically, fish!", said Happy.

"That's wonderful!", said Erza as she put both of her hands on Rapunzel's shoulders. "I admire your courage to brave this forest to see this festival. I would be my honor to help you."

"Thanks!", said Rapunzel.

They all started to walk towards the pathway to the Kingdom. Rapunzel still looked amazed at all the things around her, smiling along the way/

"Rapunzel is interesting…", said Donald.

"Yeah, her heart's pulling her all kindsa ways.", said Goofy.

Sora then stop. Everyone else also stop and faced Sora. He then said, "The outside world must seem so big and scary. I know how she feels. Lucky for me you two came along at just the right time-and the rest has been unforgettable."

"Don't we all, kid.", said Gajeel.

"We always experience that kind of journey when taking jobs.", said Laxus.

"When the dragons that raised Natsu-san, Gajeel-san, and I we kinda wonder around Earth Land before joining our guilds.", said Wendy.

"For me, it was when I was taken to built a tower by force until I caused a breakout.", said Erza, looking a little sad. "But then I joined Fairy Tail and went on many adventures by myself."

"After I ran away from home, I traveled around to find a guild.", said Lucy. "Then I met Natsu and joined Fairy Tail. But the first adventure I went on was when we had to rescue Macao from Vulcans on Mt. Hakobe."

"When Charle and I were born, we were always with Natsu and Wendy, so we always go on adventures with them.", said Happy while Charle nodded.

"I joined Fairy Tail when my homeland was destroyed.", said Lily.

"You would probably know about my story since the Master is my grandfather.", said Laxus.

"Juvia and Gajeel-kun joined Fairy Tail after our guild was disbanded.", said Juvia. "And everyday has been an adventure with Gray-sama!"

Gray sighed. "I joined Fairy Tail after my master died. And since then, the adventures I go on are always crazy."

"Wow. You guys had a hard past.", said Sora.

"Yeah. But we make that up by partying with everyone in the guild.", said Natsu.

"Yeah… Like I said: unforgettable." Sora went up to Donald and said, "Just like your face!"

Donald looked stun, then shouted angrily, "Oh yeah?!"

Sora started to run after Flynn and Rapunzel while Donald stand and pout, making the others laugh.

"C'mon, now.", said Goofy, trying to cheer up Donald. He than ran after Sora and the others joined him.

"All for one, and one for all.", said Sora. (Just like the quirks from that other anime!)

Saw the new Union Cross clip. I say this game is busting the Fourth Dimension! And Sorry for not putting in the lines, I always forget that.
