Eugene(v.o.): This is the story of how I died … and went to Heaven! *laughs* Okay, so the Kingdom of Corona, to be exact, but, hey, let's not get hung up on semantics. Once upon a time, a single drop of sunlight fell from the heavens. You know what, I'm just gonna give you the rapid-fire shorthand here. The sun drop created a golden flower with healing powers. Creepy old mother Gothel sang a song to said flower to regain her youth. Yada yada yada.

"And you're saying you're better than us?" asked Hiccup. "You are barely explaining anything."

The queen got sick. Flower healed queen. Queen gave birth to Rapunzel who was born with the flower's healing powers and everything was all flying lanterns and cheering subjects. UNTIL Gothel stole the princess and kept her locked in a tower for 18 long years. Then, the princess was rescued by a dashing, steely-eyed, suave, smoldering, devilishly charming rogue.

Nearly everyone in the room rolled their eyes.

"Seriously, fitzherbert?" asked Cassandra, giving him a look.

"What? It's all true!"

Now, some people might have called him a thief, but I always prefer the term, 'misunderstood good guy'. You see, it wasn't always easy for young Eugene, raised as an orphan on the rough streets …

Rapunzel(v.o.): Hey, Eugene, focus.

"Thank you princess!" cried Varian, earning everyone a smirk.

Eugene(v.o.): Huh? Oh! Right. Sorry. So, the beautiful young maiden, that's you, and the handsome rogue, that's me, made a deal. We followed some lanterns, I saved you from Gothel. You saved me from … death. And then, you got, arguably, the world's most overly-dramatic haircut. And then …

Rapunzel(v.o.): And then, I was reunited with my long-lost family. But that is where our new story began. Six months had passed. I was loving life inside the Kingdom of Corona. And my coronation to officially become princes had finally come.

Eugene(v.o.): We all had a few surprises that day, didn't we, sunshine?

"Oh, yes, we did." said Rapunzel, smiling.

Pascal squeaks

Eugene(v.o.): Laugh it up, frog.

Rapunzel(v.o.): Now, I know what you're all thinking. Yes, Eugene and I did get married. But make no mistake, getting to the wedding day and our happily ever after would be the biggest adventure we would ever face.

"Yeah, well, that's expected," said Hiccup, rolling his eyes.

Varian nodded.

Eugene(v.o.): Oh, that's good.

Scene cut

Rapunzel and Eugene are riding Max and Fidela, running away from mysterious characters.

Rapunzel: They're gaining on us.

"Who?" asked Astrid.

New figures appear, we recognize the royal guards uniforms.

Rapunzel: There's more of them!

"Can you please explain why you are trying to run away from your own guards?" asked Hiccup. "It's kind of weird."

Eugene: Good. It'll keep things interesting.

They keep on racing.

Eugene: Man, these guys are persistent.

"Well, that's what makes them guards," pointed out Gobber. "Like vikings!"

Hiccup rolled his eyes. "More like lunatics."

Rapunzel: So am I. I'll meet you at the wall.

Their courses separate.

Eugene: Sounds like a challenge.

Rapunzel: Think you can keep up?

Eugene: Oh, it's not me you have to worry about.

"I'm confused. Are they flirting with each other or just talking?" asked Varian, making the couple blush.

"Let's just say...both," said Cassandra.

Rapunzel glances behind her to see a royal guard pursuing her

Rapunzel: Uh-oh.

Eugene: They're your problem now.

Eugene glances behind him to see the Captain and another guard pursuing him.

Eugene: Oh, great.

They keep running.

Eugene: Okay, Max, follow my lead... Oh, log, log, log!

Eugene and the Captain jump over the log, the guard's horse stops abruptly and the guard falls to the ground.

Eugene: Ooh, good thing the ground broke his fall.

"Ha ha very funny Eugene," laughed Hiccup, sarcastically.

Back to Rapunzel being pursued by another guard. She comes across a group of bunnies eating on the middle of the road.

Bunny: *squeaks*

Rapunzel: Whoa, bunny crossing! Careful Fadela, watch out, watch out. Cute little bunnies.

The guard's horse neighs and tries to stop, bumping into the bunnies and getting itself and the guard buried in them. Pascal catches a bunny's carrot with his tongue and eats it smugly.

Back to Eugene being pursued by the Captain.

Captain: You're not getting away this time!

Rapunzel emerges from behind a rock and cuts the Captain's path.

Rapunzel: Hiya!

The Captain's horse is surprised and stops

Rapunzel: Sorry. We're almost there.

The Captain emerges from the bushes.

Eugene: Oh, come on!

Rapunzel and Eugene jump across a large river.

Rapunzel: Whoo-hoo!

Rapunzel and Eugene make it safely while the Captain falls into the water. Eugene stops for a moment and watches as the Captain gets out of the water.

Eugene: Looking good, Cap.

A few people tried to hide their smile but failed, Earning a glare from the Captain.

Rapunzel reaches the wall. Fadela helps her to get to the top of the wall.

Rapunzel: (sighs happily) Pascal, look at that view.

"I wish I could go there," said Fishlegs. "Look at those plants!"

"Seriously, Fishy? Plants?" smirked Snotlout.

Pascal sighs, content. Eugene yells happily in the distance. Max throws him to the top of the wall.

Eugene: Haha! Okay, okay, I know what you're thinking. Now, it may have seemed like you won, but you gotta take into account that my hair is actually longer than yours now, so we gotta factor in wind resistance.

Rapunzel: Hmm. Wow. Have you ever seen anything so beautiful?

Eugene takes Rapunzel's hand and looks at her lovingly.

Eugene: Yes. Yes, I have.

"Wow, endless flirting," commented Hiccup. "how did you get used to that?"

Rapunzel and Eugene go for a kiss before being interrupted.

Captain: The game's over, Your Highness. The welcoming ceremony is about to begin.

Eugene: Well, I think we showed those guards who's boss. Now, what do you say we go make you an official princess?

Rapunzel: (jokingly) Oh, is that today?

Eugene: Haha, very funny. Now come on, we better get you back to the castle. Ooh, maybe I can squeeze in a royal massage. Before my daily trim, of course.

Cassandra gave a snort and most of the vikings snickered.

"Hey, it takes a lot of time and work to keep this face," said Eugene.

Pascal squeals, and Rapunzel glances back to the outside of the wall.

Rapunzel: I know, Pascal. We'll get out there soon.

Rapunzel jumps from the top of the wall to Fadela's back.

Rapunzel: Ha. Race you back to the castle.

Eugene follows happily. The Captain sighs tiredly.


Sorry...late….again...
