Rapunzel and Eugene Fitz-Herbert of Corona had decided to honeymoon in Arendelle. It was their first big adventure away from her parents, her real parents.

That took some getting used to. Rapunzel had a lot to adjust for. The large amount of family and friends that she now had in Corona was the tip of the iceberg.

She'd thought that her adventure with Eugene had been gigantic but the world outside her tower was tremendously humongous and being the heir to a sovereign nation was a big responsibility. It helped that Rapunzel always seemed to find new friends wherever she went.

Although some people became her friends slower than others. The patrons of The Snuggly Duckling had become Rapunzel's friends far faster than her cousin Percival Augustus had. Percy seemed to take offense to how she'd suddenly come back from her tower and didn't think that she was a suitable future queen or Eugene a suitable queen consort. Eugene thought that Percival was a poof (which Rapunzel assumed had something to do with his puffy pants) and some other sort of bad word that Rapunzel didn't know the meaning of.

Sometimes Rapunzel wondered if Percival Augustus was right about her not being a fit ruler even though he had impractical taste in pants.

She wasn't raised with all of the fancy etiquette that a princess was supposed to have and her cousin laughed at her when she would mess up with forks but she didn't completely understand the necessity of additional silverware for each course in a meal nor in fact the need for additional courses not that she was complaining. She had tried so many new foods since being reinstated as princess. In between lessons she had the palace chef teach her how to cook her favorite recipes. She mostly avoided diplomatic incidents by being very very friendly and apologetic. Which apparently she wasn't supposed to do with foreign dignitaries because it made the state of Corona look weak. Rapunzel didn't quite get that jump in logic between nice and weak, but Eugene was trying to explain it to her and she was sure that at some point she would make a breakthrough.

Rapunzel was getting the hang of interacting diplomatically though. Enough so that she could be trusted as an emissary of Corona. Her parents had stressed that it was a large responsibility but Rapunzel wondered if it actually was. Her parents may have just wanted to make her feel like she could handle being queen. After all it was just a visit to meet her cousins. And all of her family, save Percival, had been very kind towards her. And she was grateful for it.

Eugene was looking forward to his and Blondie's first trip as a married couple. He had worried a bit when her parents made a fuss about responsibility and the like because he really wasn't cut out to be a diplomat and had no idea why Blondie (who wasn't so blond anymore) hadn't ditched him at some point for some floofy poof that would impress Percival. But Arendelle was on good terms with Corona, so it seemed unlikely that he'd get them into too much trouble.

He didn't get why Rapunzel was so worried about offending people. She was a born communicator and you couldn't help but to love her. More often than not when she would mess up with which bit of silverware to use it would put people at ease to tell her their life stories which Rapunzel would quickly dedicate to memory and bring up the next time she'd see them.

Her only issue was a lack of confidence in herself, which prevented the newly found princess from being able to hold her own in arguments. He could only suppose that came from that scary codependency thing she had going with Gothel. Percy the Poofmeister wasn't too helpful either.

The boat ride had been uneventful, although Rapunzel had quite enjoyed learning nautical terms and the slang of the sailors, which they'd thankfully lessened the severity of for the naive princess who had every intention of telling her parents about them when she got home. Eugene hoped she would stop worrying about pirates though. Apparently those were on Gothel's list of terrors that she'd use to keep Rapunzel in the tower.

Anyways the after party was a typical palace affair. Dancing, music, and a lot of pompous rich people standing around. It wasn't exactly Eugene's cup of tea. Of course Rapunzel made it all tolerable but royalty had too many for Eugene's tastes.

Anyways Rapunzel was introducing him to some duke of someplace when there was a crazy random happenstance.

They were just talking, when some family drama was going on between the crown princess and queen of Arendelle. Rapunzel of course was very concerned and Eugene had told her to ignore it as best she could, it wasn't polite to attract attention to people's personal problems.

Rapunzel was going to argue but then, a spray of ice spiked off the floor of the ballroom.

So this chapter is significantly different from the others and I don't like it as much but I made it and I know that I shouldn't have waited for so long to post a new chapter but my family life is really awful and I was temporarily homeless (but living in my boyfriend's mom's house), and then I found out he had bought 5000 dollars worth of games on my debit card so now he's my ex, and now things are reasonably stable and I have an apartment that doesn't have internet but is nice enough and has a lot of outlets. I'm not really sorry for not posting. I've been busy.

I'm not too torn up about the boyfriend thing to be totally honest. I had been looking for an excuse to break things off with him. I'm more hurt that he thought that it was ok to spend my savings on games because when we were dating we were close friends and he knew that I needed to have money in the bank because stuff like what happened were likely to happen.

Also by my family life is terrible I mean that my mom called my work requesting that I be fired and so my work put me on as an emergency staff member which is different from being fired but also I don't get to work so I don't get paid and now I need a new job. Also she moved into my house.

My personal life is awful.

Anyways, by the way, I am bi. I'm a girl. Stuff about me. It's really early in the morning where I am and I haven't slept too well for a really long time. I hope you guys will review this and let me know what you think. I want to fix what's wrong with this chapter that makes me dislike it.
