Warnings: Wreck, amnesia, and depression
Summary: Rapunzel accidentally gets hit by an amnesia spell that causes her to forget everything since she left the tower.
Rapunzel lies in a hammock made of her hair doodling in a brown, leather journal with a strap on the side with paintings of pink birds with an orange feather pen with Pascal on her shoulder. "There's something wrong with Mom. She isn't acting like herself. She's nervous and jumpy." She tells him. She looks over at Arianna. She is riding Fidella. She looks down at her journal. She has drawn a picture of Arianna lying on a thin mattress looking skinny with her eyes closed with her head on a pillow and covered in blankets. Why did I draw that? She asks herself.
Meanwhile, Eugene and Lance are driving the caravan. They see a row of black rocks. Eugene pulls the reins but they can't stop. The caravan goes through the black rocks. It splits in half. They scream. "NICE GOING LANCE!" Eugene yells.
"HEY, YOU WEAR DRIVING TOO!" Lance yells back.
"I'M TELLING RAPUNZEL, ARIANNA, AND CASSANDRA.".
"NO, I'M TELLING RAPUNZEL, ARIANNA, AND CASSANDRA.".
They run back to camp. "HE WRECKED THE CAMPER!" They yell at each other.
"Calm down, boys, I'm sure we can fix it." Cassandra reassures them.
"Yeah, I bet me and Mom can fix it." Rapunzel adds.
Arianna and Rapunzel are walking on a wooden bridge over a green river. Arianna is eating a banana. "Mom? What are you thinking about?" Rapunzel questions. She swims with an Amazon River Dolphin in a green river. Arianna imagines.
"Dolphins. Pink ones." Arianna replies. She is so creative! Rapunzel thinks.
"Oh!". Arianna finishes her banana. She tosses it in the peel in the river. An Amazon River Dolphin jumps up and grabs the peel. Rapunzel gasps. "Mom! I thought you were just being super creative! I didn't know those actually exist! Don't get me wrong, you're still super creative!".
"Yep. They're called Amazon River Dolphins.".
Arianna and Rapunzel go over to the caravan. At least they just split it in half. Rapunzel thinks. "At least they split it in half and didn't completely destroy it.".
"Yeah," Arianna agrees. She gets on her knees and begins crawling around. She grabs a wooden wand with a pink jewel in the middle. She bumps her head into a pinkish-red clay bookshelf. A throbbing pain shoots through her head. She groans and rubs it. Is she okay? Rapunzel worries.
"Mom! Are you okay?".
"Don't worry about me.". Suddenly a flash of pink light comes from the wand.
Where am I? Rapunzel thinks. She looks around. "Where's Mother?" She asks. Crap! Arianna thinks. Rapunzel sees Arianna. She knocks her out with her frying pan
Arianna wakes up in a light blue wooden chair tied up in a wooden chair by Rapunzel's hair. "Who are you, and how did you find me?" Rapunzel asks as she holds her frying pan to Arianna's chest. Here it goes. Arianna thinks. She breathes.
"Rapunzel, I'm your birth mother. A very long time ago, a single drop of sunlight fell onto Earth and grew into a flower that could heal, the Sundrop. You're stepmother Gothel, attacked us when I was pregnant with you. And we got sick, so we were given the Sundrop. But, Gothel kidnapped you, and she manipulated you into staying with her so she could use your hair to stay young. But then, Eugene recused you and brought you back. And now we're on this big adventure to go to the Dark Kingdom, but our wagon got wrecked, and I was trying to fix it, but I used the wrong wand, and now your memories are gone." Arianna quickly explains. That makes so much sense. Rapunzel thinks.
"But you didn't mean to. So that makes you not a bad person." Rapunzel tells her.
"But, still, your memories are gone." Arianna replies. She breaks down. I'm going to go get the others. Rapunzel thinks.
Rapunzel turns around and runs. She sees the others. "Hi, are you my friends?" She asks. What is wrong? Eugene wonders.
"Yes." He replies.
"So, Mom was trying to fix the caravan with a wand, but she used the wrong wand, and my memory got erased. She's really upset and crying right now." Rapunzel replies. That makes so much sense. Eugene thinks. Let's see if there is a potion in here. Cassandra thinks as she picks up the Sapoiran spell book. She flips to a page with a long list of ingredients.
"Ha ha! Here it is!" She announces. Everyone else looks at the book. "Simple potion to reverse the Wand of Obilvium.". Simple?! That's 55 ingredients! Eugene thinks.
"That's 55 ingredients!".
"Relax. We've already got 54 out of the 55. We only need mint.". Yummy! Rapunzel thinks.
"I love mints! Especially the soft kind that melts in your mouth!".
"No, not the candy. Mint is also an editable plant.".
"Oh, like the Sundrop!".
"Yes and no. It's editable like the Sundrop, but it doesn't heal."
"Oh. So how do I get the mint?". Cassandra looks down at the grassy green clip. She sees a bush with smooth leaves.
"Down there.". She points at the bush.
"Great! Okay, would one of you get the mint?". I don't want to be lowered down a cliff. Cassandra thinks. I don't want to be lowered down a cliff. Eugene thinks. They both nod negatively. Maybe Mom will. Rapunzel thinks.
Rapunzel goes over to Arianna, who is still crying. She kneels beside her. She touches her back. Arianna looks at her. "Hey, it's okay." She cooes.
"No, it's not! I wiped your memories!" Arianna protests.
"And it was a mistake that we can fix.". We can? Arianna thinks. "Cassandra and Eugene found a potion that can restore my memory. We just need mint, which is down there.". She points down the cliff to a bush with tiny blue flowers with white middles. I should be the one to get those. Arianna thinks.
"I should be the one to get those. Your memory got erased because of me. Besides, it's really dangerous, and I don't trust myself to spot you." Arianna announces. Okay, Rapunzel thinks.
They stand. Rapunzel wraps her hair around Arianna's waist. She lowers Arianna. She grabs the mint. Rapunzel reels her up. She takes her hair off Arianna's waist.
They run over. Arianna gives the mint to Cassandra. Rapunzel sees an oak tree with green leaves. That would be fun to swing on. She thinks.
"Hey, Mom, do you want to swing on that tree? ". Yeah! Arianna thinks.
"Yeah!" She replies.
They go over to the tree. Rapunzel throws her hair around it. Arianna grabs the other end. They both run around it. They pick up their feet. They swing around it.
Meanwhile, Cassandra and Eugene are standing in front of the potion pot, which has a glowing green liquid in it. Cassandra throws the mint in. It's ready. She thinks.
"Mom! Rapunzel! It's ready!" She announces. Arianna lands. Rapunzel lands. They run over. Cassandra puts the potion in a small potion vial with a round base and a skinny top. Cassandra gives it to Rapunzel. She drinks it.
I'm the Lost Princess! Rapunzel remembers. "I'm the Lost Princess!" She announces. Arianna embraces her.
At night, Arianna and Rapunzel kneel on the grass facing each other. The sky is dark pink and purple. "Rapunzel, I'm so sorry about your memories." Arianna tells her. Rapunzel touches Arianna's face.
"Hey, I know you didn't mean to, and it was an easy fix." She replies. They hug.
