Hey everyone, here's chapter 5: I see the light. It's a short chapter, and the title is based on the song from "Tangled." You'll see why ^_^ If you haven't seen that movie, you should! It's adorable

White and N returned home a few hours later, carrying a few shopping bags in each hand and talking like two teens who had known each other forever.

"Aww how cute!" White's mom exclaimed, greeting them as they walked inside. "You two bonded!"

N and White looked away from each other, blushing nervously. "It's not unusual for two teens to bond over shopping," White said, smiling and watching N. "Especially when there's a massive sale going on and you realize that you're with someone who has a great fashion sense."

N held up his bags to show how much they bought.

Her mom smirked. "So you're 'with' him?"

White gasped a little, realizing that she said that. "I didn't mean it like that..." she added quickly.

"Uh huh…" Mom said sarcastically.

"But anyways, kids, I was thinking that maybe we could watch a movie!"

White's eyes brightened. She dropped the bags she was holding and excitedly jumped up and down.

"Yeah!"

"I was thinking we could watch Tangled," her mom said. "I know you love that movie."

N decided to stay silent. He knew what movies were, sure, but he didn't have the faintest idea as to what 'Tangled' was.

White led N into the living room and picked up the Tangled DVD case while N sat on the couch. She hurriedly took the disc out and popped it into the DVD player. After grabbing the remote, she sat down next to N and moved the cursor over 'play movie.'

"Mom, are you gonna watch the movie?" She cried. "Just a minute honey!" her mom's voice called from the kitchen. White sat pretzel-style on the couch to get comfortable. Her mom walked into the room and turned out the lights. "Popcorn, anyone?" she asked cheerfully, holding out a large plastic bowl.

White sat up straight. "ME!" she cried, reaching for the bowl. White's mom sat on the other side of N with the bowl. "I think N should hold the popcorn," she said, passing the bowl along to N. "He's in the middle."

White turned to look at N, who was holding the bowl on his lap and staring intently at its contents. "What is this stuff?" he asked.

"Popcorn," White responded, grabbing a handful and popping it into her mouth.

N shrugged and grabbed a handful. 'Crunchy," he said, eating a piece. White smiled and pressed a button on the remote, starting the movie. Everyone seemed to shift in their seats as the movie started.

White knew this movie pretty much by heart. After all, she had watched it dozens of times. Rapunzel was kept in a tower her entire life by her mother in order to protect her and her magical hair. As much as she appreciated her mother's protection, she desperately wanted to leave to see the floating lanterns that appeared on her birthday each year. She finally got her chance when the charming Flynn Rider came upon her tower one day.

White had to try her hardest to keep from spoiling the movie for N. They were just now getting to the scene where Flynn took Rapunzel out in the middle of the lake to watch the lanterns. She heard the familiar music start up and knew they were about to sing. She leaned on the arm of the couch and smiled. She could sing along if she really wanted to.

All those days watching from the windows

All those years outside looking in

All that time, never even knowing just how blind I've been

White looked over at N, whose face was illuminated by the dim glow of the TV. He was entranced by the scene, a bright smile stretching across his face.

Now I'm here blinking in the starlight

Now I'm here, suddenly I see

Standing here, it's all so clear, I'm where I'm meant to be

White blushed slightly, realizing how much these words meant at the current moment.

And at last I see the light

And it's like the fog has lifted

And at last I see the light

And it's like the sky is new

And it's warm and real and bright, and the world has somehow shifted

White looked back at N, who seemed to have his full attention fixed on the TV.

All at once, everything looks different

Now that I see you

White blushed deeply, turning back to the movie. "Now that I see you…" she whispered. She gasped at her sudden realization, putting her hand on N's arm out of shock. N looked over at her, wondering why she had suddenly grabbed his arm like that. She was facing the TV screen, but her eyes were wide and she seemed to be deep in thought.

He looked back at the movie. Rapunzel and Flynn had just finished their dialogue, and they were each holding a lantern. The music swelled as they released their lanterns into the sky.

All those days chasing down a daydream

All those years living in a blur

All that time, never truly seeing things the way they were

N looked down at the unpopped kernels of popcorn in the nearly empty bowl on his lap, and then at White's hand, which was still on his arm. "This song sounds just like me…"

Now she's here, shining in the starlight

Now she's here, suddenly I know

If she's here, it's crystal clear

I'm where I'm meant to go

N's eyes widened as he looked over at White.

Rapunzel and Flynn held hands.

And at last I see the light

And it's like the fog has lifted

And at last I see the light

And it's like the sky is new

N opened his mouth a little. "This... this is –"

And it's warm and real and bright

And the world has somehow shifted

N felt chills travel along his spine. "…like us," he finished, looking at White. He put his other hand on hers. She looked at him, surprised.

All at once, everything is different

Now that I see you

White's heart raced. "Does he know what I'm thinking?" She worried to herself. She decided that she didn't care if he knew or not. He'd figure it out soon enough. She rested her head on his shoulder. He didn't object.

Now that I see you

This is so adorable! I didn't want to spoil anything from the movie for any of you who haven't seen it. I hope you liked it :) Thank you for reading
