Rapunzel looked at herself in the large mirror as she brushed her short brown hair. Whenever she really thought about it she got conflicting emotions, while she would be forever grateful to Eugene for saving her, and just looking at and it made her feel so happy since it was a representation of everything that had changed in her life since that day.

But there was also a small downside, while she still loves her hair, she missed it when it was long and golden. She remembers how she spent days just changing the style of her hair whenever she was bored, how little she washed it, but somehow it stayed forever perfect.

In short, she missed her hair, not the Magic part, just her hair.

It felt frustrating to her that she could do almost nothing with her new hairstyle because it was so short. In the colour was something she had to get used to, it was just such a contrast and she almost felt like it was muddy brown at times.

It also saddened her that the hair would probably never grow again. A part of her wished that it wouldn't as that would mean the magic was still there, and as much as it was beneficial, it was a curse most of the time.

She sighed softly as she finished brushing it. "Hey, is everything ok Sweetheart?" a voice called out behind you.

Rapunzel jump slightly she was startled by the voice, she turned and saw it was only Eugene. "Oh god. Eugene, you scared me..." she laughed out, but it didn't sound authentic.

"Sorry but is everything ok, you've been real quiet lately." He said as he put his arm around her, which she leaned into.

"Yeah, everything is fine. I'm just thinking about my hair... You still like it, right?" She questioned hesitantly.

"What, well yeah of course I do, I told you I have a thing for brunettes," you joke but he could tell that she was upset by this. "Why? Do you not like it?"

"It's- Its's not that I don't like it, it's just... I used to try out different styles all the time when I was alone, but with this," she said, gesturing to her head. " I feel like anything with it, sometimes I feel like it just looks so plain and boring..."

"Rapunzel you're the most interesting girl I know, trust me nothing is boring about you." Eugene tried to reassure, but he could tell where she was coming from.

"But this isn't about me. Just wish I could do something different with it at or at least try..." She side of she moved away and sat on the bed.

It pained Eugene to see his wife so down. He wished he could help her, but he didn't know a thing about hair.

Then his eyes widened.

But he did know someone who did!

"Are you sure he'll be ok with me asking?" Rapunzel asked as the two walked down the hallway.

"Of course, trust me he'll be completely fine with it. I'd even say he would love to." Eugene consoled, holding her hand in his as the two came to a stop, before knocking on the door in front of them.

A few seconds go by before Miguel opens the door. "Oh, hello you two."

"Hi dad, is papa there?" Eugene asked.

"I'm right here son," Tulio said as he walked up behind Miguel. "What can I do for you?" He asked casually.

"Well, Rapunzel here would like to ask you something." He then stepped aside. "Go on," he whispered.

"Well, uh umm... If it wouldn't be too much trouble... Could you please umm..." she stammered as she struggled to get the words out. "Could you please do my hair for me?" She stated quickly, before quickly looking away in embarrassment.

There was a brief pause before "Really? You want me to do your hair? Well sure!" Tulio gushed, before stepping forward in admiring the short brown hair. "Is there is something you want me to do specifically? Or do you just want to feel good about yourself?"

"The-the second one, please." Rapunzel Stammered, a little shocked that he seems so willing to do this.

"I think would be best if we left them alone," Miguel whispered to his son, "We wouldn't want to spoil the reveal, would we?"

"Good idea," Eugene whispered back. "How about we all meet up for dinner later? That way you can show up your new look to everyone."

"I think that sounds nice." Rapunzel beamed. She bearly had time to wave goodbye before she was pulled into the room.

Eugene smiled before it slowly faded from his face.

"Is everything ok son?" Miguel asked, before leading them down the hall.

"Yeah dad, I'm just worried about her. Do you really think it's just the hair or could it be that she resents me for cutting it so short before?"

"Eugene, you were dying. You used the last of your strength to save her from a horrible fate. I'm sure she doesn't blame you, in fact, I'd say that she's probably forever grateful for you saving her life." Miguel comforted.

"Yeah, you're probably right but I can't help but feel bad. I know how much Papa takes pride in his hair, I'm pretty sure he'd kill you if you cut it." Eugene groomed.

"You're exactly right but trust me, Tulio knows what he's doing. Having to deal with his own hair for so long has taught him a few things, you and I both know how much work you put into that. And for Rapunzel I'm sure he'll do even better, I bet she's going to come out looking beautiful." Miguel insisted.

"Yeah, I bet so too." Eugene murmured.

He turned back and grinned as he and Miguel joked and talked, but he couldn't stop about what she was doing to look like.


"Are you done yet?" rapunzel asked, for the 10th time.

"No, and if you keep asking, I'll never get done." Tulio scolded playfully, almost done placing the final touches on Rapunzel's hair.

"Sorry, I just can't wait. From what Eugene told me you're really good with hair. How did you get such a title anyway?" She questioned.

"You think this hair tames itself? I've been growing my hair since I was little and its always been a beast, for a while this ribbon wasn't able to hold it all together. Also when you have to manage the hair of two hyperactive children, you learn how to deal."

Rapunzel giggled, seeing and hearing Miguel and Tulio talk about one another is extremely wholesome as well as hilarious.

"Ok, I think I'm all done."

"Really?! Oh yes!" She was fully ready to turn around and see what she looked like but her eyes were quickly covered. "WAIT! No, just one more thing. Turn around but keep your eyes closed." Tulio bargained.

"Ugh, fine. But this better be worth it." She mumbled, half-serious.

She felt him slightly pull back on her hair. "Ok, now I'm finished, promise."

She slowly and covered her eyes and gasped. Her hair looked amazing, the style was called a Beach Wave, her hair looked fluffier and lighter and when the light was shone on it, it almost glistened.

But then something else caught her attention, it was a small bow that was in the top right of her head, she looked and it was a small purple ribbon.

"Wait..." she pondered as she looked behind her to see Tulio with his hair down. " but this is yours..." she said, her tone quiet and shocked.

"You can give it back to me after dinner if you want but I think it looks best on it right now." Tulio smiled.

Rapunzel couldn't hold back her gratitude as she leapt forward and drew the men in for a big hug. Who has attended shortly before he hugged back.

"Thank you so much, I look beautiful." Rapunzel gushed.

"Sweetheart you always look beautiful, so come on we don't wanna be late for dinner," Tulio said before opening the door for her.

"Eugene is going to lose his mind when he sees me, my hair hasn't looked this good since the wedding." Rapunzel laughed, as she speed-walked down the corridor.

"Miguel is going to jump me after this, let's just say he has a thing for when I put my hair down." Tulio joked as he kept up with her.

"Well, if it means anything; I think you look great with your hair down." Rapunzel complimented.

"And you look amazing as a brunette." Tulio complimented back.

It felt nice to be doing hair for someone other than Miguel.

Maybe he could do it again sometime.
