"Excuse me, I was wondering if I could top up, starting to look a little old again" said Gothel, getting Destiny's attention. Reluctantly, Destiny summoned a door, and Gothel took Rapunzel away.
"What did she mean by top up?" asked the Queen.
"You'll find out" sighed Destiny and the movie started.
Flynn Rider's voice echoed throughout the room.
"This is the story of how I died."
"Wait, what?" yelled Flynn, standing up.
"Calm down and sit down" said Destiny.
"Don't worry, this is actually a very fun story and the truth is, it isn't even mine.
This is the story of a girl named Rapunzel and it starts with the sun"
The Queen covered her mouth with her hand, silent tears appearing in her eyes. She knew what this about.
"Now, once upon a time, a single drop of sunlight fell from the heavens and from this small drop of sun, grew a magic, golden flower. It had the ability to heal the sick and injured."
While Flynn was talking, a drop of sunlight fell from the sky and a flower grew, only for an old woman to appear beside the flower.
"Oh, you see that old woman over there? You might want to remember her. She's kind of important."
The King growled deep in his chest, and the Queen looked at her husband and smiled, they knew who took their daughter now. They knew what their daughter looked liked.
"Well, centuries passed, and a hop skip and a boat ride away there grew a kingdom. The kingdom was ruled by a beloved king and queen."
"And the Queen, well, she was about to have a baby. She got sick. Really, sick. She was running out of time, and that's when people usually start to look for a miracle. Or in this case, a magic golden flower."
The King remembered this, the entire kingdom was looking for the flower, to save their beloved queen.
On screen, Gothel appears again, right beside the flower.
"Ah, I told you she'd be important. You see, instead of sharing the sun's gift, this woman, Mother Gothel, hoarded its healing power and used it to keep herself young for hundreds of years, and all she had to do was to sing a special song."
Gothel begins to sing to the flower, and as she sings, it glows and she turns younger.
Flower, gleam and glow
Let your power shine
Make the clock reverse
Bring back what once was mine
What once was mine
"All right, you get the gist. She sings to it, she turns young, creepy right?" said on-screen Flynn.
The Queen smiled at that. Maximus rolled his eyes and Flynn laughed. Future Him seemed brilliant, apart from being dead of course.
Gothel panics when she hear people approach, and covers the flower with an old basket, but in her rush to get away, knocks the basket away, revealing the flower.
"I found it" yelled a Guard. The shot changes to the Queen being fed the flower in a drink.
"The magic of the golden flower healed the queen. A healthy baby girl, a princess was born, with beautiful golden hair. I'll give you a hint: that's Rapunzel." A blonde haired baby giggled on screen.
"To celebrate her birth, the King and Queen launched a flying lantern into the sky. And for that one moment, everything was perfect. And then that moment ended."
The Queen started to cry, eighteen years without her daughter was to much. The King pulled her close to him.
Mother Gothel sneaks in the Princess' room and begins to sing. As she sings the baby's hair begins to glow lie the flower did.
Flower, gleam and glow
Let your power shine
Make the clock re-
As Gothel sings, she cuts a strand of the hair, and it darkens into a brown and the power stops. Gothel lifts the baby and runs away, just as glimpse of her from the royal couple as she escapes.
"Gothel broke into the castle, stole the child and just like that - gone.
The kingdom searched and searched, but they could not find the princess. For deep within the forest, in a hidden tower, Gothel raised the child as her own."
The screen shows an older Rapunzel singing as her "mother" brushes her hair and gets younger.
"Heal what has been hurt
Change the fate design
Save what has been lost
Bring back what once was mine
What once was mine"
"Gothel had found her new magic flower, but this time she was determined to keep it hidden" said Flynn and the Queen sobbed. She then decided that she had to get this under control, she had to keep herself calm. She took a deep breath and kept watching.
"Why can't I go outside?" the young Rapunzel asked, her voice filled with innocence.
"The outside world is a dangerous place, filled with horrible, selfish people. You must stay here, where you're safe. Do you understand, flower?" said Gothel.
"Her nickname for my daughter is flower?" snapped the King, and he glanced to the door.
"Darling, I have decided to keep myself closed down until she knows the truth, and remain emotionless" said the Queen, touching her husband's face. He nodded.
"Yes, mummy" answered Rapunzel. The Queen took an extra deep breath.
"But the walls of that tower could not hide everything. Each year, on her birthday, the King and Queen released thousands of lanterns into the sky, in hope that one day, their lost princess would return" finished Flynn and the wall revealed Rapunzel leaning against the window, watching the lanterns.
"She did see" whispered the Queen, grabbing her husband's hands. The door opened and Gothel walked through, leading Rapunzel.
"Okay, Rapunzel, back beside Flynn and Gothel, back to where you were" said Destiny.
