Author's note: Here's the next chapter. I hope you all like it. I don't own Tangled at all.

Rapunzel pt2:

Tries many times to put Flynn in the closet but fail every time until she finally gets him in it.

"Okay, okay, I got a person in the closet. I got a person in the closet. I got a person in my closet! To weak to handle myself out there, huh Mother? Well, Tell that to my pan he..." she hits herself accidently in the head with the frying pan while talking to herself in the mirror.

She then discovers satchel and crown. She takes it out of the satchel.

The Royal couple become anxious hoping their daughter will come back to them.

Rapunzel hangs it on her arm, and Pascal shakes his head. She uses it as a magnifying lens, Pascal shakes head, she puts on the crown and Pascal is astonished before he shakes his head in disapproval again.

A few people giggle knowing that the crown is supposed to be on her head, Rapunzel was confused at first but then she realized what they were thinking as well and smiled.

Gothel just seethed in anger hoping to be able to brainwash Rapunzel into thinking she was her mother again.

"Rapunzel! Let down your hair."

"One moment, Mother."

Gothel growls realizing that the thief was in the tower when she got back and wishes she would have found out so she wouldn't have to worry about getting Rapunzel back.

"I have a big surprise."

"Uh, I do too."

"Oh, I bet my surprise is bigger."

"I seriously doubt it."

Flynn and some others started to laugh.

"I brought back parsnips. I'm going to make hazelnut soup for dinner, your favorite. Surprise!"

The King and Queen shared a look wanting to remember that so they can make it for her when she comes home to them.

"Well mother, there's something I want to tell you."

"Oh Rapunzel, you know I hate leaving you after a fight. Especially when I've done absolutely nothing wrong."

"Okay, I've been thinking a lot about what you said, earlier."

"I hope you're not still talking about the stars."

"Floating lights, yes I'm leading up to that."

"Because I really thought we dropped the issue, sweetheart."

"No Mother, I'm just saying, you think I'm not strong enough to handlemyself out there."

"Oh darling, I know you're not strong enough to handleyourself out there."

"You never know until, you know, let her out." Blondie says and Flynn nods in agreement.

Gothel scowls at the two of them.

"But if you just..."

"Rapunzel, we're done talkingabout this." She is slowly heading over to the closet that she has Flynn in it.

-But trust me, I..."

"Rapunzel."

"...know what I'm"

"Rapunzel."

"Oh, come on."

"Enough of the lights, Rapunzel! You are not leaving this tower, EVER!" Rapunzel looks a little frightened never hearing her 'mother' get that loud and angry before. She slowly takes her hand off the handle of the closet and moves away from it.

Flynn in breathing in relief.

Gothel is mad at herself, she now wishes that she would have let Rapunzel speak so she would have been able to get rid of the thief.

"Ugh, great. Now I'm the bad guy."

She sees her painting of the lights and looks to the closet coming up with a new plan.

"All I was gonna say, mother is that...I know what I want for my birthday, now."

"And what is that?"

"New paint. That paint made from the whiteshells you once brought me."

"Well that is a very long trip, Rapunzel. Almost three day's time."

"I just thought it was a better idea than, stars."

"You sure you'll be all right, on your own?"

"I know I'm safe, as long as I'm here."

"I'll be back in three days time. I love you very much, dear."

"I love you more."

"I love you most."

Rapunzel is waving to her mother and as soon as she leaves her sight down below, Rapunzel immediately rushes away from the window to the closet.

"Okay." She opens the closet door and Flynn falls out.

She examines Flynn and ends up tying him to a chair with her hair.

Pascal wakes him up by sticking his tongue in his ear.

"Eww!" many little children exclaim.

"Wha..? Is this...hair?"

"Struggling...struggling is pointless."

"I know why you're here. And I'm not afraid of you."

"What?"

Rapunzel comes out of the shadows.

"Who are you, and how did you find me?"

"Ah hah." Flynn looks awestruck and in love.

"Awww!" many women say.

"Who are you, and how did you find me?"

Flynn clears his throat, "I know not who you are. Nor how I came to find you. But may I just say. Hi! How you doing? The namesFlynn Ryder. How's it going, huh?"

"You are being such a flirt." Blondie says rolling her eyes.

"Hey any guy would want to be tied up by a pretty girl." Flynn says and the King and Queen gasp glaring at him.

He holds his hands up in surrender, "What does that even mean?" Rapunzel asks innocently.

Many people looked uncomfortable.

"You can be told about that certain talk later, there are little children that don't need to hear it yet." Blondie says hurriedly red in the face as were a few others.

"Who else knows my location, Flynn Ryder?"

"All right, Blondie."

"Rapunzel."

"Gesundheit, here's the thing. I was in a situation, Gallivanting through the forest. I can across your tower and...Ho, ho no, where is my satchel?"

"I hid it, somewhere you'll never find it."

Flynn looks around for a few seconds and then says, "It's in the pot, isn't it."

We then see outside of the tower.

Clang!

A lot of people laugh while Flynn winces remember how painful it was.

He wakes up and notices that Pascal's tongue was in his ear again, "Ahh, would you stop that."

"Now it's hiddenwhere you'll never find it. So, what do you want, with my hair? To cut it?"

"What?"

"Sell it?"

"No! Listen, the only thing I want to do with your hair, is to get out of it. Literally."

"Wait, you don't want my hair?"

"Why on earth would I want your hair? Look, I was being chased, I saw a tower, I climbed it, end of story."

"You're, telling the truth?"

"YES!"

Pascal is being distrusting about him. He has her and him move away for a moment.

"I know, but he's someone that can take me." Pascal motions.

"I think he's telling the truth. He doesn't have fangs, but what choice do I have?" Pascal motions again.

Flynn is struggling in the background.

"Uh, okay Flynn Ryder," he stops struggling, "I'm prepared to offer you a deal."

"Deal?"

"Look this way." She moves over and her hair twists the chair around causing Flynn to fall forward.

Everyone but Gothel and Flynn are laughing.

"Do you know what these are?" she shows him her painting.

"You mean the lantern thing they do for the princess?"

"Lanterns...I knew they weren't stars. Well, tomorrow evening they will light the night sky, with these lanterns. You will act as my guide, Take me to these lanterns, and return me home safely. Then, and only then, will I return your satchel to you. That is my deal."

"Yeah, no can do. Unfortunately, the kingdom and I are not exactly, simpatico, at the moment. So I won't be taking you anywhere."

The King and Queen sigh sadly.

"Something brought you here, Flynn Ryder. Call it what you will, fate, destiny."

"A horse."

"Oh, you were telling the truth about the horse thing." Rapunzel says and Flynn nods his head.

Maximus does a horse laugh.

"So I have made the decision to trust you."

"A horrible decision, really."

"But trust me, when I tell you this." She pulls her hair bringing him forward, "You can tear this tower apart, brick by brick, but without my help, you will never find your precious satchel."

Flynn clears his throat, "Let me just get this straight. I take you to see the lanterns. Bring you back home. and you'll give me back my satchel?"

"I promise."

Flynn doesn't believe her.

"And when I promise something, I never ever break that promise. EVER!"

"That might come back to bite latter or something I'm just saying." Blondie says confusing a few people.

"All right, listen, I didn't want to have to want to do this, but you leave me no choice. Here comes the 'smolder'."

Both Rapunzel and Pascal give him a stern look.

"This is kind of an off day for me. This doesn't normally happen…Fine, I'll take you to see the lanterns."

"Really!" she pulls her arms up in excitement letting go of the chair causing Flynn and the chair to fall forward hitting the ground.

"Ooops."

"You broke my 'smolder'."

The scene cuts to Flynn climbing back down the wall of the tower.

"You coming, Blondie?"

"You rang?" 'Blondie' smirks and Flynn groans.

A few others giggled.

Rapunzel is on the window edge. :Look at the world so close, and I'm half way to it. Look at it all, so big do I even dare? I just have to do it. Should I? No. Here I go."

She throws her hair out and she swings down to the ground Flynn ducking as she passes. She hesitates to put her feet on the grass but then she does.

"Just smell the grass, the dirt. Just like I dreamed they'd be. Just feel that summer breeze. The way it's calling me. For like the first time ever, I'm completely free. I could go running, and racing, and dancing...and chasing, and leaping and bounding. hair flying, heart pounding and splashing and reeling. And finally feeling, that's when my life begins."

Birds are chirping, "I can't believe I did this." She then mumbles, "I can't believe I did this. I CAN'T BELIEVE I DID THIS!"

"Mother will be so furious. That's okay, what she doesn't know won't kill her, right? Oh my gosh, this will kill her. THIS ISSO FUN! I am a horrible person, I'm going back. I am never going baaaccckkk! I am a despicablehuman being. WAHHOOOOO! Best day, ever!" Flynn was looking like he was annoyed actionably.

The Queen sighs sadly about how her daughter was forced to live.

Rapunzel is now sobbing.

Flynn clears his throat.

"You know, I can't help but notice, you seem a little at war with yourself, here."

"Really."

Now, I'm only picking bits and pieces, of course. Overprotective mother, forbidden road trip. This is serious stuff. But let me ease your conscious. This is part of growing up. A little rebellion, a little adventure. That's good, healthy even."

Many parents nodded even if they don't like when their kids do that.

"You think?"

"I know. You're way over-thinking this, trust me. Does you mother deserve it? No. would this break her heart and crush her soul? Of course, but you just got to do it."

"Break her heart?"

"In half."

"Crush her soul?"

Flynn says as he squeezes a grape, "Like a grape."

"She would be heartbroken, you're right."

"I am, aren't I? Oh bother. All right, I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm letting you out of the deal."

Some stared in shock.

"What?"

"That's right. But don't thank me. let's just turn around and get you home, your pan and your frog. I get back my satchel, you get back a mother-daughter relationship based on mutual trust and voila! We part ways as unlikely friends."

"No! I am seeing those lanterns-"

"Oh come on! What is it going to take to get my satchel back?"

She hold up her frying pan threateningly, "I will use this."

There's a sound in a near by bush.

Rapunzel gasps, "Is it ruffians? Thugs? Have they come for me?"

A rabbit hops out.

"Awwww!" many children yell out.

"Stay calm. It can probably smell fear."

"Oh, huh, sorry. Guess I'm just a little bit…jumpy."

"Probably be best if we avoid ruffians and thugs, though."

"Uh, huh, yeah. That'd probably be best."

"Are you hungry?" I know a great place for lunch."

"Oh, where?"

"Oh don't you worry. You'll know it when you smell it."

Rapunzel turned to glare at Flynn and he held his hands up.
