It's night in Corona as someone is jumping on rooftops from cottages. The shadow is followed by two others and they run, jumping onto the ground.

"Okay boys," They look up at the statue of the King. "Let's get to work..."

The next morning, Eugene walks up to the princesses enjoying breakfast with their parents. "It's the first thing people see when they enter the castle, Dad! I mean, maybe we could remodel it or something. You know, make it warm and welcoming."

"That archway is an important line of defense, Rapunzel. It is imperative it convey strength and security."

"Speaking of security," Arianna speaks up, "How are things with Varian, Harmony?"

Harmony almost chokes on her eggs out of shock. She gives Rapunzel a look, getting an innocent smile in return from her sister. The princess and Varian have become very good friends throughout the past few months. He's stopped stammering around her (most of the time), and she's been more open with him ever since the Lance 'incident.' He's her best friend, in fact (male-wise). They could talk for hours about anything as opposed to when they were just starting to get to know each other.

"Um...fine?" She finally decides to answer her mother. "He's been preparing for the science expo." A happy smile forms on her face at the mention of it. Her parents, having noticed her blueprints, decided to throw a science expo, because they knew that she'd love it. They're even letting her overlook everything.

"Just make sure that nothing happens," Frederic warns her.

"Papa!" She whines a bit in embarrassment.

"You want strength and security?" Eugene speaks up with food in his mouth. He takes a seat between his girlfriend and the younger princess. "Here's what you do."

Frederic raises a skeptic brow. "Lion statues! Ooh, ooh, better yet, turn the archway into a giant lion's mouth! No, wait! Let's do the whole lion-"

"Thank you, Eugene. I'll take those suggestions under advisement."

Harmony cringes at that last sentence.

"Ahh, teamwork!" He holds up his hand. "Up high!"

Frederic just continues eating, Rapunzel looking very embarrassed. "Your Majesty!" Eugene chuckles a little, wondering why he's not doing it. Rapunzel tugs his sleeve, shaking her head. Harmony does the same thing. "Right. You're eating. We're eating. Next time, then...Cool."

Harmony sighs, facepalming at the awkward silence.


Rapunzel plants a rose in Pascal's mouth as he's posing for a portrait. Harmony and Varian are reading some science books together, to inspire Varian for his invention. "You know, Blondie, you might wanna start coming up with lion designs for that archway. I think that idea got some real traction with your dad. Right Brownie?"

"No comment," Harmony briefly looks up, going back to her book.

"I'm sure the king loved your idea," Cass says sarcastically, rolling her eyes. "You do realize he was just being polite, and probably didn't wanna call you a nitwit to your face."

"Cass!" Rapunzel scolds her lightly, "If our dad didn't like Eugene's idea, I think he would just say so."

"Besides, Flynn saved Rapunzel and brought her back home," Varian shrugs lightly while flipping a page. "There's no reason to lie to him."

"Yeah," Eugene agrees with his girlfriend and the alchemist. "And he's never been shy about calling me names to my face before."

Pascal rolls his eyes at this. "Well, before you go and have your royal advisor nameplate made up, you should probably know that whenever the king wants to ignore an idea, he always says 'I'll take it under advisement.' " She does air quotes.

"Ha!" He laughs at her, "Shows what you know! I clearly remember him saying I'll..." The rest of the king's words echo into his head, making him realize that Cass is right. But he'll never say that out loud of course. "Oh no! He does think I'm a nitwit!"

"And there it is!" Cass points at him smugly. He whips around to Harmony.

"Why didn't you tell me?!"

"Papa says that about half the time when the citizens come to him with complaints," She shrugs at him. "And I didn't have the heart to tell you in front of him."

"This changes everything! I cannot have a father-in-law who doesn't take me seriously!" Eugene starts to panic.

"Why not? No one else takes you seriously," Cass retorts back.

"Not true! I take him very seriously," Varian gestures to himself.

"You don't count, you like Flynn Rider, not Eugene Fitzherbert."

"That's not true, Eugene," Rapunzel adjusts his collar. "Dad thinks very highly of you." Cass shakes her head behind her. "Though, maybe there are times you could be a bit more selective about the kinds of things you suggest to him. He is the King after all."

Varian drops his book upon hearing that. He's very close friends with the younger princess...and yet he has done nothing to impress her father. If he was gonna have even close to a shot with Harmony, he had to get on the man's good side too.

"Et tu, Blondie?" Eugene asks hurtfully. "Okay, you know what? It's fine, it's fine. I can fix this. Quick, name things your dad likes that I can pretend I also like to impress him!"

"That's not how it works," Harmony raises a brow at him. "He should like you for yourself, not because you're exactly like him."

Bells start to sound before they could further the conversation.

"The emergency alarm!" Cass gasps a little.

All five run towards town, stopping behind the King, Queen, and Captain of the Guards. The three are standing in front of a statue that has been painted to look like a woman, with a plaque that reads 'Equis Rules!' Arianna looks up at her husband in worry as his mustache is slightly twitching.

"Equis?" Rapunzel asks in confusion. "As in the kingdom next door Equis?" Cass nods in confirmation with a light hum. "What's that got to do with Dad's statue?" She glances at Harmony. "Why is it all messed up?"

"Your dad's lifetime rival, King Trevor of Equis, likes to play pranks on him," The Captain whispers to her.

"They've been competitive over almost everything," Harmony shrugs towards her sister. "Everytime, Papa has no reaction to King Trevor's pranks. And trust me, the guy has done worse pranks than this."

"Just drawing a silly face on Dad's statue? I can't imagine any intelligent person finding this funny."

"Yeah, it's kind of lame," Varian comments as he crosses his arms, and the four hear laughter. They turn to Eugene, who wipes his eyes. He suddenly realizes what he's doing and replaces his laughing with coughing, smiling sheepishly.

"Real smooth," Harmony deadpans at him.

"Anyway, King Trevor always manages to thoroughly embarrass your father."

"I can hear you, Captain," Frederic suddenly speaks up. "And yes, I am embarrassed. Embarrassed for him! Really. The very idea of a grown man partaking in such...infantile boobery!"

"Papa, King Trevor is anything but grown. More like a spoiled child in a man's body," Harmony tells him, causing Varian to laugh a little.

"I still don't get it," Rapunzel states to Cass.

"I'll explain later," She reassures her.

"Trevor has been trying to lure me into partaking in his shenanigans since our youth. He even threatened to bring Harmony into this, but all he did was say in one of his notes that he'd bring her to a spa day. Well, I won't partake! Do you hear me, Trevor?! I will not partake!"

He shouts this so loud, birds fly away.


"I must partake!" He slams his fist on the arm of his throne. "I can't take this embarrassment any longer. Ooh, I need a prank! I must show the people that, despite that sign's proclamations, Equis does not rule!"

"I agree, but how?" Captain asks in confusion.

"Yes, how?" Frederic rubs a temple. He's never played a prank on Trevor before today. "...By striking against that which he holds most dear! The very symbol of his land!"

"You mean...the Seal of Equis?" The Captain questions slowly. "But...your majesty, the castle of Equis is impenetrable. In fact, only one man has ever successfully infiltrated its defenses! And he-"

Whistling interrupts him and he looks behind him to see Eugene walking by. He suddenly backs up as he had managed to hear.

"You guys talking about me?"


Rapunzel is reading about Equis in her room, sitting in her bookshelf. Harmony is at her sister's desk, looking over the castle maps with Varian looking over her shoulder. "Blondie," She looks up towards Eugene, "Great news! Your dad just asked me to steal the Royal Seal of Equis for him!"

"Stealing from Equis?" She closes the book. Glancing at Pascal, she sees him facepalm. "That doesn't sound like a great idea." She slides down the ladder, Harmony walking up to him and showing the map. "Did you know that they have over a thousand guards on duty at any given time?"

"Trevor is so protective of that Seal, he has taken any measures to make sure nothing happens to it. Literally guards at every point that a thief would take to get inside, if they can even try. No one's ever succeeded." Daisy points to the spots on the map.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah," Eugene closes the book. "I know, but this is me we're talking about, Brownie, and don't you guys see? This is the perfect way for me to prove to him I'm more than just some nitwit thief!"

"By stealing something?" Rapunzel crosses her arms at this statement. Eugene spins around the globe, Pascal hanging onto it.

"No. By stealing something well," He stops the globe, the chameleon falling onto a book.

"Hm," She gives a look of disapproval.

"I'm not sure if that logic sticks," Varian speaks up.

"Hey, come on, it's for the official royal prank! I'm pretty sure that makes it completely legal...ish."

"It doesn't, but what do I know?" Harmony replies with a light shrug.

"Oh, well, then let me come with you!" Rapunzel holds up a blue purse. "I'm pretty good at surprises."

"Sorry, Blondie, but I've assessed the situation, and this is a one-man job. Luckily, Flynn Rider does his best work alone."

Varian squeals a bit. "So cool!" He would ask to go so that he could impress the king too, but he has other ways to impress him. Besides...he's not much of a thief like his own hero is. Hopefully he can start by impressing the queen...


"Let's go, partner," Frederic walks away from the archway when Eugene had arrived. He's wearing a black outfit with hints of maroon.

"Wait, I'm sorry, you wanna come with me?" Flynn asks in surprise.

"Of course I'm coming with you," Frederic turns around, hands on his hips. "You think I'm in the habit of dressing like this? Though, this new dashing adventure suit I had made is quite slimming. I must witness Trevor's humiliation first hand!"

"Ooh, yeah," Eugene winces as he approaches the king. "See, um...the thing is, I was thinking you wanted, you know, me, to do it alone. Not that I wouldn't love to have you along. It's just...you probably have way more important-"

"This is a matter of national pride," Frederic interrupts, not taking no for an answer. "Of course it's important. And I specifically said 'we' would steal the Royal Seal of Equis, remember?"

"I do, I do re-yes, you did say 'we'! I thought you were using the royal 'we', you know, being the king?" He smiles nervously, not wanting to ire the king, aka his girlfriend's father, further...but he really doesn't like this outcome...

"Come on, let's do this! How'd you put it before? Teamwork! Up high," He holds up his hand and when Eugene goes to slap it, the king walks away.

"Yeah, you know, when you say 'up high,' you usually-" A sack is thrown into his arms. "Okie dokie, nevermind..."


They reach Equis within hours, using a telescope to search the area. And just as the princesses said, there are hundreds of guards around. "So, your majesty, I've drawn up this map based upon the brilliant way I got into Castle Equis before, to show you how this is gonna go down."

Frederic comes out of hiding from the bushes, looking over his shoulder. "All we need to do is borrow a couple of uniforms and waltz right through the front door! Eh?"

"We're not doing that," He denies after looking it over.

"We're not?" Eugene asks slowly.

"Eugene, as king I've received top military training. After studying this map, I could say with certainty that what is required here is stealthy ingress. And this is the perfect spot to do it," He points to the tallest tower in the castle.

"The northeast tower?" The former thief wonders skeptically. "The heavily guarded, impossibly fortified northeast tower?"

"No one will expect it..." He grins, moving backwards into the bushes.


"You don't really need to impress my mother," Harmony tries to assure Varian as they step into Rapunzel's room. The blonde princess looks over to them. "My parents actually like you."

"Yeah, but I need them to love me!" He insists to her.

"They will! You're my best friend," She places a hand on his shoulder. "Who wouldn't like you?"

He smiles at her, yet he still feels some doubt. Rapunzel suddenly sighs, hugging her knees. "What's so fun about pranks, anyway?"

"Mostly, the look on the other person's face when they realize what's happening," Cass steps up to her.

"Sooo, it's supposed to surprise people?" Rapunzel asks happily, as she loves surprises.

"Well, it's more like a joke. But, only the person responsible for it thinks it's funny."

"Like King Trevor," Harmony rolls her eyes. "That guy definitely has looks at his lame pranks."

"Well, they seem to be effective if your dad asked Flynn to seal their Royal Seal," Varian points out to her.

"Oh. So, like the jokes my dad tells," Rapunzel looks over to Cass.

"Noooo," She slowly rolls her eyes at the reminder of the king's jokes. They really weren't that funny... "There's more to it than that. You need to get somebody to expect one thing and then do something unexpected instead. It's basically entertainment for morons."

"But this is Rapunzel, Cass," Harmony smiles a little, her sister humming as she looks at the potrait of Pascal.

"Unexpected, eh...?"

The teens glance at each other, wondering just what she was gonna do.

Rapunzel places a sleeping mask over Pascal's eyes, placing a blanket over him. "By the time he wakes up, he'll be so rested, he won't even know what hit him! I can't wait to see the look on his face."

Cass rips off the mask, the four of them watching Pascal running around in a panic. "Unexpected, but not clever."


The guards walk right past two bushes, where Frederic and Eugene are hiding. "All is clear. Just follow my lead." He stands up, walking past the guard's backs. Eugene reluctantly follows, though he has serious doubts about this plan. They're practically walking in broad daylight like this, and the guards aren't dumb. He notices the outhouse up ahead.

"Your highness," He calls out, but Frederic doesn't hear it as the door opens to reveal a guard. The man notices the bush, putting on his hat and walking after him. Eugene steps in and captures the guard into the bush, knocking him out and stealing his uniform. He looks to the other guards, who don't see anything out of the ordinary. But they are headed in their direction.

"Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! Oh, boy," He runs over to the king who's still moving, running over and pulling a horse. He brings the horse in front of the bush, feeding him a carrot. "Heh...heh...hello, guards."

Frederic bumps into the wall, bursting out of his disguise. "Yes! There. See? Easy," He turns around and sees Eugene's outfit. "Eugene, I thought I said the guard uniforms were unnecessary. Come on!" He scooches past the wall as if he's camouflaged.

"Oh, yeah, no, don't mind me," Eugene takes off his hat. "I'm just gonna scream into this for a little bit," He screams in frustration to the hat, leaving the horse, who stops chewing for a few seconds and then goes back to eating.

Later that night, the two climb up the tower, some rocks falling onto the former thief courtesy of the king. "Quiet Eugene!" He continues climbing, slamming Eugene into the brick of the tower. He then gets dragged upwards before they sneak in through the window. Frederic dusts himself off as Eugene peeks around the corner. Two guards are headed right in their direction. He cringes as they walk through a doorway.

"Okay, follow my lea-"

Frederic starts rolling on the floor unsubtly, to his dismay. "Really?"

"What was that?" The guards peek out the door.

"Better check it out."

Eugene digs into the pockets, tossing a gold coin over their heads. They turn around, thinking that it came in the opposite directions.

"This way!"

Eugene looks to see Frederic on the floor, who gives him a thumbs up. "They didn't spot me. Aha! Let's move out."

He groans into his palms. "You love Rapunzel, you love Rapunzel, you love Rapunzel..."


Harmony waves to Varian as he's leaving for Old Corona. "Bye Varian! Mom's gonna love all the flowers you brought back to life!"

"See you for the expo, Mona! Tell Rapunzel I said good luck on her pranks!" He waves back, smiling as he walks down the path. She smiles back, closing the door behind her.

"Are you sure there's nothing going on between you and Varian?"

"Ah!" The young princess yelps, whipping around to see a smug Rapunzel, Pascal wiggling his brows and Daisy chirping. She composes herself afterwards. "Nope. Now let's try to figure out a good prank." She walks past her sister, who pouts.

"All I'm saying is," Pete starts off as he and Stan step into the weapons' room. "If you bring a quiche to work, you should bring enough to share with your co-workers. That's just-"

"Yeah, but, you don't even like quiche!" Stan argues back to him, baffled that Pete is even offended since he doesn't care for the stuff.

"First of all, don't tell me what I don't like."

"No, because I know you don't like quiche," Stan tries telling him gently.

"Okay, because I-I like a lotta things, but you never point that out."

The mustached guard sighs slowly as Pete continues to rant. "You just tell me all the stuff I don't like."

"Yup..."

"Anyway, let's just get this done. Okay, you start cleaning the spears, I'll work on the swords." Before they can start doing any of the sort, the cabinet starts to shake, from the inside. They approach slowly, thinking that it's an intruder, but it's just Rapunzel.

"Ha! Gotcha!"

Stan lets out a startled scream at her sudden appearance, but Pete notices all of the clean weapons. "Ha!" Her hair is slightly messy. "Ha! I just polished all of these weapons before you could! You should see the look on your face!"

Stan is visibly shaking while Pete has his mouth wide open. "You've just been pranked! Or as soon as it's soon to be called, Rapunzelled."

Stan actually faints, Cass and Harmony entering the room. "That was clever...but not funny."

"If anything, you just did all their work for them and scared the wits out of Stan," Harmony points to the man before they close the door.


Frederic and Eugene have finally reached the doors they were looking for. The king sighs, relishing in having one over Trevor. "Ah...the royal seal room. How do you like that, Eugene? Told ya," He slaps Eugene on the back, his hat falling off. He has twigs and leaves in his hair. "Flawless plan."

Eugene silently removes the twig, using it to pick the lock. He opens it with ease and they step into the room. It's mostly paintings of King Trevor, but there's something covered at the end of the room. Eugene cringes nervously as Frederic sighs in happiness.

"Behind that curtain...lies the royal seal of Equis," He pulls it away, chortling. "Oh, sweet revenge!"

Eugene opens his mouth in shock...to see an actual seal resting on pillows. It barks at them, but not loud enough to alarm the guards.

"It's a seal..." He says slowly.

"Indeed," Frederic smiles, hands on his hips. "The royal seal...of Equis!"

The seal barks again.

"It's a seal...seal." He thought it was a pin, not an actual animal! "Not a royal seal!"

"It is a seal seal owned by a king!" Frederic defends, "Thus a royal seal." He steps up to the sea animal, who just barks. The king hums, to Eugene's disbelief.

"You have got to be kidding—you know what? You know what? At this point, never mind! Just grab your end and let's get out of here." He was asked to steal a royal seal, and a royal seal he shall take. Honestly, the whole heist has been the king not listening to Eugene's suggestions, and the opposite of him looking at the former thief as someone he can respect. He starts to push, but the seal doesn't budge and he falls on some pillows.

"Oh..."

He looks up at the king. "What? What are you doing?"

"Leaving a calling card so that Trevor knows it was I who did this," Frederic answers, holding a marker. "What should I paint, hm? Eye patch? Stink lines? Perhaps a tear, representing his imminent humiliation at being bested by me."

"No! None of those things should you paint!" Eugene exclaims out of frustration. "Let us go now!"

At Eugene's yelling, the seal barks sadly and loudly, getting the attention of the guards. The two look towards the door, knowing that they'll arrive soon. Eugene glances for a place to hide, looking up at the ceiling and sighing slowly.

"I'm gonna need your grappling hook..." He holds out his hands.

When the guards burst into the room, they find no one inside. The three are actually hiding in the chandelier, nervously looking down. The seal is surprisingly silent. Frederic turns to Eugene. "You're the expert. What are we going to do now?"

"Oh, oh, so when you say 'we' do you still mean the royal 'we', which is actually you telling me how to fix this?" He retorts back, the seal looking up at the bolts, which are starting to slip due to their weight.

"Well, no. I'm saying 'we' as in us."

One of the bolts fall right in front of a guard's feet, causing them to look up. "Is that the royal us, because it still sounds like it's just me?!"

"I asked you to come so that 'we' could get the seal."

"Okay, okay, now I'm confused. You said I and we in the same sentence, which I'm finding means the same thing. Not to mention the fact that I couldn't get the proper definition of a seal from you!"

The chandelier chooses then to break, falling right in the middle of the guards. "Uh oh," Frederic murmurs under his breath.

"Uh, hey, guys. Hey, you guys," Eugene stammers, trying to get out of this unscathed despite how bad it looks. "Would you believe that we're the chandelier repairmen? Repairing in the middle of the night? Cause this thing is broken."

The seal barks at them.

They're locked in a cell and Eugene groans at their situation. "Well...this prank has gone horribly awry," Frederic rubs the back of his neck.

"Listen, I'm sorry I lost my cool. It's just...this whole prank was my big chance to get you to take me seriously," Eugene slides to the floor.

"Take you seriously?"

"Yeah," Eugene stares at a rock in his hand. "And I was getting frustrated when I wasn't able to do that..." He throws the rock into a grate. "I know, it was dumb."

Frederic walks up and places a hand on the disappointed man's shoulder, sitting down. "You know, there are many things I fail to take seriously. Eugene...son, you brought my daughter to me after 18 long years. And because of that, my youngest daughter is smiling again...even calling me Papa like she used to," He chuckles lightly. "If there's one man in the whole world I take very seriously...it's you."

He looks up in surprise. "...Wow. Thanks...your majesty. Can I ask then...why-why didn't you listen to my ideas?"

"You know, I suppose sometimes I let good ones slip through the cracks," He admits sheepishly. "I should've given your plan more consideration."

They smile at each other. "What you should have done was stayed in your own kingdom, Frederic!" The two turn around at the new voice, noticing the seal and the king of Equis himself...

"Trevor," Frederic glares at the sight of him.

"Your efforts to abscond with my sweet Trevor Jr were comical at best."

"Oh, yeah?" Eugene challenges as they stand up to face him. "Well, I don't think your seal's too happy there."

He seems to be right as the seal looks up with sad eyes. "Of course he's not!" Trevor hugs the seal protectively. "The poor little darling is traumatized by what you did to him!"

"Alright, Trevor. You've had your laughs. Now, release us," Frederic demands, narrowing his eyes.

"Oh, I'll let you go...but not until I parade you through town in nothing but a jester's hat, proving once again Equis is superior to Corona! For now, I leave you here to wallow in the stench of your own defeat," He chuckles, leaving with his beloved pet. Frederic sighs slowly once he's gone.

"Trevor's right..."

"Come on, you don't smell that bad," Eugene lightly punches his arm. "Plus, it's mostly seal."

"I meant...I deserve to wear nothing but a jester's hat," He frowns, sitting on the floor.

"Uh, your majesty?" Eugene stands in front of him. "What the heck does King Trevor know, anyway?"

"Once again, he showed himself to be the more accomplished prankster..."

"Accomplished?" The former thief helps him stand up. "His prank wasn't even funny! I mean I laughed, a little, but still, all around not that funny."

"Yes, that's true, his pranks are always more grating than they are humorous," Frederic rubs his chin as he thinks about all of Trevor's past pranks

"Totally grating...hey, hey!" He grins as he approaches the grate in the floor of their cell. "That's it!"

"What's it? What are you doing?"

"I'm getting us out of here," Eugene smirks, taking off the lid. "The question is...are you willing to try it my way?"

He raises a brow in confusion, wondering where he's going with this.


Back in Corona, Max is taking a drink when he sees an apple tied to a string. He starts to follow it to the barn, attempting to take a bite, but it's pulled away from his mouth. The door closes behind him, someone inside with the horse. He looks around in slight fear, backing away until she lands in front of him. She pulls the curtain to reveal stacks of apples, Rapunzel standing near a statue of Max made entirely out of apples.

"Ha! Gotcha! You should see the look on your face!"

Max is more touched if anything, clapping his hooves happily. Cass opens the door to see him acting like a puppy dog, running around happily. Harmony giggles a little at the sight.

"Did you see the look on his face? Oh, he expected one apple, but then he got a whole bunch!" Max appears in the statue, knocking down the apples. "Best. Prank. Ever."

"Funny...but not mischievous," Cass states as they watch the horse.

"Yeah, giving Max a bunch of apples isn't exactly pranking him. You just made his day," Harmony laughs at Rapunzel.


"Will you just listen, your majesty?" Eugene calls out, waking up the sleeping guards. "There's no way you'll escape that way!"

"Hey!" They burst into the dungeon. "What's going on in there?"

"Dellas, would you look at that?!" Eugene holds his cheeks as the grate is open. "The king, he escaped without me. I don't know if I'm more impressed or insulted. You know what I'm sayin'?"

"Open the door!"

They step inside, looking down the empty space. "Oh no, King Trevor's gonna have our necks for this."

What they don't know is that Frederic is right above their heads. "Lose something?"

They look up to see him swing around, knocking the two into the hole.

The two steal their uniforms and use them as disguises to walk around freely. Frederic looks nervous as two other guards pass them, but Eugene pushes him forward. They end up in the same hall that King Trevor is walking through. Eugene pulls the king behind the wall as Trevor had his eyes closed, and thankfully didn't notice them.

"Quickly, if we go back the way we came, he might not see us!" Frederic whispers urgently.

"Wait..." Eugene takes off his hat, eyeing two sets of double doors that look exactly the same. He smiles, forming an idea. "Follow my lead," He takes the halberd from the king, who takes a deep breath and follows him. He starts jiggling at the door until Trevor spots them.

"Well, well...it appears someone hasn't learned their lesson yet," He scolds them. Eugene winks at the king.

"Okay, okay, look, you got us. This one is completely our fault," Eugene holds up his hands in surrender.

"Oh, yes!" Frederic does the same. "We wanted to pull some sort of prank so that...all this wouldn't be in vain..."

"Oh really? And-and what were you gonna do in there, pray tell?"

"Well, I thought it'd be funny to slip into the library and rearrange the periodicals. Historians hate that," Eugene grins smugly.

"That is the worst idea for a prank I have ever heard!" Trevor starts laughing, "And in true Corona fashion, you would've failed, again! That's the real door to the library," He points to the doors on their right.

"Uh, no, nope, no it's not. I'm pretty sure this is the library," Eugene points to the doors behind them.

"You imbecile! This is my castle. I know where my library is!" Trevor insists to him.

"Ah, agree to disagree," Eugene replies and the king pushes past them.

"I'll prove it," He opens the doors. "You see-" The space in front of him pops open to reveal a trap door and he falls through it. Eugene laughs as he looks at the darkness.

"Forgot about your own top-notch security for a second, didn't ya?"

"Well played, Eugene," Frederic chuckles at him, "Very well played! Up high?" He holds out his hand and Eugene chuckles when he realizes that it's not gonna go away. He high-fives the king.

"Let me out, Frederic! There's spiders down here!" Trevor whimpers from the dark. "Spiders! Ah, one just touched me!"

Junior claps and barks at his owner being scared for once. "Trevor Jr, are you clapping?! Those had better be claps of sorrow!"

"Would you look at that? I finally humiliated Trevor!"

"Oh, your majesty!" Eugene laughs, looking towards the trap door. "We have not yet begun to humiliate that guy..."


They return back to Corona with smug smiles on their faces. Frederic claps the former thief's back, who smiles up at him. Though when they reach the castle...the archway is decorated with paint: birds, deer, leaves, and other animals all over it.

"Oh my..."

Rapunzel suddenly arrives in front of them. "Gotcha, Dad!" She laughs at the two. "Oh man, you should see the look on your face right now!"

"Papa!" Harmony runs up to her father, hugging him.

"Well I suppose it's fine...as long as you girls repaint the archway. By nightfall."

"Obviously, Dad," Rapunzel smiles up at him.

"Yes Papa."

"Of course, your majesty," Cass bows her head to the king as he walks off. "Well Raps, you finally figured out this whole prank thing."

"Yes!" Rapunzel cheers at her praise.

"It was unexpected, clever, funny, and mischievous...but you overlooked one of the most important parts of any good prank." The crown princess stares at her in confusion. "You didn't think it through," Cass throws her a brush. "We all still have to repaint the archway by nightfall, remember?"

"Sorry," Rapunzel places the brush in her hands. "I've got princess duties to attend to."

"And I have my lessons," Harmony keeps a stoic face.

"Looks like you're gonna have to do it all by yourself. Still believe I didn't think it through?"

Cass frowns once she's gotten over her shock, rolling up her sleeves and starting to paint. The two princess suddenly appear next to her.

"Kidding!" They exclaim, startling the lady-in-waiting so much she almost drops her paintbrush. "You just got pranked! Ha ha!"

"I totally got you! You should see the look on your face!" Rapunzel holds out her hand.

"I just got Rapunzelled..." She hands her friend the brush. "Well played, girls. Very well played..."

Eugene walks over with Varian, who had just arrived, and together, they all start repainting.

"Well, your majesty...did you do it?" The Captain asks in excitement as he walks with the king. "Did you...get the seal?"
