"Um, Sunshine, I think I broke our alchemist!"

Rapunzel blinked at the sudden admission. There was a hint of panic in her fiance's voice.

"Well, that explains why he's acting so strange lately."

"Please help?" Eugene asked meekly as he leaned against her shoulder to hide his face in her brown hair.

A soft smile formed on the princess's mouth while she fondly petted his head.

"Aw," she tried to cheer him up. "I am sure he's fine."

An explosion shook the castle and Rapunzel winced. It would be the first of many.
