"OK, so what is this big surprise that you have planned for me?" Eugene asked.
"If I told you that, it would ruin it!" Rapunzel replied, excitedly. She was dragging him along by the arm, narrowly avoiding several pillars. She then skidded to a halt in front of one of the windows, with Eugene nearly crashing into her.
"So, adventurer, gald to see you followed my outfit suggestions." She said.
Eugene was dressed in his former Flynn Rider gear, satchel and all. "Well, I'll admit, I was a little confused—" She took the blindfold off of him. "Ok, so I see we're a set." He chuckled. Rapunzel had garbed herself in the outfit they had traveled outside of Corona in, with the surprising addition of—"Quick question, why are you wearing shoes?"
"I have a feeling I'll need them." She said coyly, spinning a frying pan. "Did you pack your weapon?"
"After all we've been through?" He asked, flipping his off his belt. "Never leave home without it." Chuckling, he now looked at what was outside the window. "Ok, color me confused. What exactly is going on out here?"
Rapunzel cleared her throat. "A long time ago, a fearsome Warlord called…" She looked at her palm. "Afear…Somwarlard? Afeer Sumwarlard! Came to the shores of Corona, with a mystical artifact known as…. Mis Ticalar Tifact."
Eugene chuckled, but was clearly engrossed.
"But when he came to these shores, he found that the magic of the golden flower could overpower the power of Mis Ticalar! But it is whispered in legend that Mis Ticalar was lost somewhere on the island, surrounded by dangerous traps and undying foes. But if found, it will be worth it, for Mis Ticalar gives the owner power unfathomable!"
"Except against magic flowers, apparently." Eugene said with a smile.
Rapunzel shrugged. "So, what would you say if we went after it?"
He grinned. "Sounds like a plan to me, Blondie. But shouldn't we get Lance in on this? Or Max?"
"Umm…" Rapunzel tapped her foot. "They are… occupied at the moment."
"So…. You've got an ace?" Lance asked Maximus. They were in a deep part of the cavern that Eugene and Rapunzel were on the other side of.
Max gave a snort.
"I'll go fish then!" Lance snapped. "No need to be rude. Plus, I'm not entirely sure that you aren't cheated."
"They're gonna regret missing this." Eugene noted.
"Nah." Rapunzel replied with a smile. "I thought a duo adventure would be fun. C'mon!" Grabbing a rope, she rappled into the cavernous opening the window led into. Eugene chuckled again, and followed her down.
"Makes you wish you had your hair back, huh?" Eugene asked as he slid to the bottom.
"Nope." She replied. "It was way hot in the summer."
Eugene shrugged. "Could've been worse. So, what exactly is our plan here?"
"Follow the cavern, dodge the traps, get the treasure."
"Pfft, that easy?" Eugene grinned. "Out of the way, frog. C'mon Rapunzel, that priceless artifact aint gonna steal itself!"
"It's less stealing and more… grave robbing? Archieology?" Rapunzel theorized.
"Po-tay-to, po-tah-to, let's go!" Holding hands, the two raced off down the cavern.
