Hey everyone here the next chapter not much to say just enjoy it.
'This taking is thoughts.'
'This talking is Valor in wolf form': I am adding this in; there is a high chance I can forget about it and just do animal sounds. You have been warned.
"This is normal."
Forgot this... This singing

Chapter 19 Eugene Midlife Career Crisis
"Okay, guys, wait for it." Rapunzel said as she put a flower headband on. "How this?" The blonde haired princess asked her best friend and boyfriend striking a pose with a guitar and tilt of her head. "Hmm.. bohemian." Cassandra said.
"Ugh."
Quickly she ditches her look and grabs a bunch of books. "How's this?'' she asked them. Rapunzel posed with fake glasses, a book in hand and stacked on her head.
"Way to uptight."
"Mm-Hmm?"
"Too.."
"Lighten up, Cass. It's just a painting." Eugene said as he interrupted her train of thought. Cassandra turns to face him. "It's more than just a painting, Eugene. This is the princess's royal portrait." Cassandra said as Rapunzel picks up a racket. "Uh. She's right. I mean every one of these portraits says something about what made that particular king or queen unique." Rapunzel explains to him.
"It's tradition, and she's gotta decide on her look soon." Cassandra said. "The Giovani gets here in two days." She hold up two fingers. "And what I hear, that guy is as famous for his temper as he is for his art." Cassandra said.
"Well, look at this guy." Eugene said drawing attention to the portrait next to him he tapped causing it to move. "He's not doing anything and he seems pretty happy." He said.
"What! Careful!" Cassandra said, quickly straightening the portrait. "These paintings are priceless, especially that one." Cassandra tells him. "That's the only known painting of Robin XI."
"Wait." Rapunzel pops up between her two friends. "This kingdom had 11 Robins?" The blonde princess asked. "Nope. Just this dude." Cassandra said. "They called him Robin XI because the only thing interesting about him was that he had.." "..nine, ten, eleven fingers." Rapunzel counts. "That's right. I remember reading about him." She said.
"Listen, Raps, if you're trying to find your defying activity, don't listen to this dud.." Cassandra jesters to Eugene. Who was tossing a half eaten apple, in his hand. "Whose whole work history is being a two-bit hood."
"Ohh-hoo." He laughs as he stops tossing the apple. "Two-but hood? Hold the pastry." He said, putting his free hand up. "I'll have you known, Cassandra, Flynn Rider was a legende." He argues. Laughing. "Key word "was."" Cassandra sarcastically said. "And what is it you do now?" She asked him with a smug look.
"I..uh.. I do many things." Eugene said. "You know important things. So important you wouldn't understand them. Sometimes, I don't even understand them. Tell her, Blondie." Eugene ended up saying.
Both Eugene and Cassandra look towards Rapunzel. Who wasn't even paying any attention to them what's so ever. Instead, she was in thought while Pascal jumps on the racket. His body changed colors as he bounced.
"Hmm.. what?" She asked, realizing they were looking at her. Eugene and Cassandra looked at each.

Eugene left Rapunzel and Cassandra to tackle the portrait. Now he made his way to the Snuggly Duckling. In hopes maybe his friends could be some help. Leaving Max outside he made his way into the pub.
"Oh. Can you believe that Cassandra?" Eugene scoffs. "Two-but hood?" Eugene began pacing and ranting to them. Ulf, Big Nose, Hook Foot and Shorty were playing cards. "She acts like the only thing I've ever been good at are lying, cheating and stealing." He lists the list off his hand. "Which, in fairness I am very good at." He said proudly.
"Hmm." They all looked at him with a shared expression. "So you guys agree with Cassandra?" Eugene asked, his voice slightly cracks. "What. Whoa. We don't.. agree with her." Big Nose quickly said trying to clear things up. "We've simply arrived at a.. Well, um, nearly identical assessment is all." He finally said.
"Oh, okay.. okay, I see how it is." Eugene said clearly starting to feel a bit irritated. Everyone was thinking the same thing. "You know, I am capable of being more than a handsome, devilish-may- care rouge. In fact!" He points at them. "I can be handsome devilish-may-care anything I want!" Eugene declares.
"Maybe I'll just have to find a way to prove it. Boys, Eugene Fitzherbert is gonna find his new calling." Eugene looks at everyone who was engrossed back into the game.
"Hmm."
"Does no one in this kingdom have an attention span? Come on!" Eugene said as he left the hub.
-line break-
Eugene looks at the job board. Scanning it trying to find a job. So he went to work. Grabbing one flyer he headed to the bakery. The baker took down the help needed sign. Too bad this wasn't his calling. The oven smoked as Eugene leaned on the wall proudly. "Well, you said bake the pie at 300 degrees for an hour, but I figured save time and do 600 degrees for a half hour." The baker opens the oven and with that Eugene was fired.
He went back to the board and took the next job. An old lady waited for the wagon to come. Waving Eugene down. Eugene stops to help her up. "Thank you." She said.
"Hyah!"
As Eugene quickly pulls up to a house. The woman staggered out. Valor watches with confused and shocked icy blue eyes as he dashed away. "This is not my house." She said.
Sighing Valor walks over to her. "Would you like a ride home, and don't worry I won't go fast." Valor offered her. The old woman looks over at her. "That's very kind of you." She said.
Valor let's herself shift forms. The woman blinks in shock as she lowers herself down letting her belly touch the ground. Fixing the woman with silver wary eyes. It didn't take long for her to climb up. Slowly she stood. "Whoa." The woman. Valor whines. "Don't worry I'm fine." She said to the young werewolf. Then they began their track to her house. Valor following the directions to a T.

Careful the wolf lowered herself down to the ground and let the woman slide off her back. Shifting back to a human. "Thank you so much." She said .
Valor smiles. "No problem. Sorry about that guy from earlier. I think he's suffering from a midlife career crisis." Valor apologies to her. The woman thanks her once more. 'I better find out what's going on.'
-line break-
Eugene kept on trying different jobs. Each one he failed at. Next was shoe making. Which was okay until the owner threw him out just because of what he did in the past.
This was proving a lot harder than he had thought. So Eugene made his way back to the castle.
-line break-
Pascal yawns and curls up in the sun. But beg the chameleon could get any peace. The door burst open. As Eugene walks in. "Who knew having a job would be so much work?" He sighs as he plops onto the chair. "I mean, what with all those rules and responsibilities..." "..that's how a job works Eugene." Valor said.
Eugene looks over to see the black haired teen standing there. A bit of annoyance ticking off her. "When did you get here Wolfe?" Eugene asked her. "Well, after you drop that old woman off near Old Corona. I had to complete your job for ya. Honestly what's with you?" She asked him.
"What's up, Cassandra is what's up. She thinks I nothing more than a handsome devilish-may-care rouge." "She's right." "What do you agree with her?" Valor rolls her eyes. "Yesss. I just saw it first hand." "Well, you should have heard some of these guys I worked for. It's like, "Hey, buddy, who died and made you boss?"
Valor shakes her head. "Oh, come on. They're doing their job. And they are the boss." She points out. "So it is there job." Eugene sighs. "Maybe Cassandra is right. Ugh! Just saying those words sent bile into my mouth, down the throat.. oh, that's.." he shutters. "Yuck!"
Valor chuckles as she walks over to him. "You know maybe you should try something you'd be good at." She offered sitting down next to Pascal. "What I'm good at is being a thief." "Maybe. But have you ever need to put those skills to good then use?" Valor asked. "Like what?" He asked. "Hmm. I don't know. But maybe there's way to find out." Just then a shot rang out from below causing them to look out the window.
"Thief! Stop! Thief!" The woman shouted. "There!" Valor points out to the man running through the forward. "I know where he's going." Eugene said. "I know where he's going!" Then let's go!" Valor said, turning to leave. "Wait. You're coming?" Valor grins. "Of course. I want to help." She said with a toothy grin. "Alrighty then, follow my lead." They both dashed off.

The thief kept moving. As the guards chased after him. "Guys, he's head for the docks!" Eugene said as he and Valor raced over the guards. "Well handle this. And besides, he ran in the opposite direction, genius!" The Captain said then ran off towards the direction the thief went. "No one calls me genius and gets away with it, come on Wolfe follow me." He said.
