I Don't Own Tangled :.(

Chapter Four

The same eyes were staring at the intruder, staring at the portrait of the man and the boy. Who was this person and what did she want? Not that it looks like she wants anything, she was different. She looked curious, friendly and pretty. Who was she?

Rapunzel put the portrait down and stood back up, looking more around the room. She decided to leave. Though her curiousness was gaining, she felt bad, welcoming herself into someone's home. She stared at the room one last time and opened the door to leave.

"Who are you?" a voice said from behind. But it didn't sound demanding.

She gasped shortly, grabbing the handle of her sword, but not pulling it out. She turned around and she saw the person who spoke.

A man. The man had brown hair and amber eyes. He was tall and he was handsome. He was wearing a white shirt, it was a little bit big on him, brown pants and brown boots. He didn't look mad or serious, he looked concerned.

"Oh dear, I'm so sorry." Rapunzel said. He just blinked. She then made her reason. "I didn't mean to intrude. I was just looking for someone. He said that he lived here..." it was sure of the truth.

"I've never seen you before..." he said.

"Neither have I." they looked into each other's eyes. Their eyes's were showing kindness and wonder.

He then broke the silence "but you're probably looking in the wrong house. No one lived here except me."

Then it hit her. There is no other mysterious home in the woods near the kingdom, except this one. It could mean only one thing.

"Eugene?"

Suddenly , the man's eyes widen with worried as he took a step back, almost hitting the rafter pole. "How-how did you know my name? Who are You?"

Rapunzel sighed and gave a warming smile, her heart beaten with excitement . She had found him, her long-lost friend. "It's me, Rapunzel. Don't you remember?" He didn't answer and shook his head 'no', unnoticeably. "I guess not, it's been years now."

"Sorry but I don't know you." he stepped away from the pole.

She frowned. "Aren't you the boy that was hiding behind barrels in the village fourteen years ago?" she asked. Again he shook his head.

"I'm sorry. If I was him, I would remember. It's been years. However, I've never met anyone."

"I should be the one that is sorry, I barged into your home. It was very disrespectful of me."

"Don't blame yourself. It's not your fault. You were just filled with portent. It is a strange place, in my opinion. " he put his hands in his pant pockets and gave a small smile.

Rapunzel stared around the room again and the man. "Its just...Who else named Eugene lives in the woods, not near the castle."

With no other thoughts, the man looked at her with shock. "Princess? As in Princess Rapunzel?"

She nodded with a another grin.

He ran his fingers through his hair. "I think I had seen you before."

"You had." her eyes were filled with plead, hoping he'll remember.

Soon memories flown through his mind. He heard a young voice, like a little girl. Giggling and was always smiling. "You're-You're the 'greatest female explorer' . The one that told me about your adventures."

She chuckled. "That's me."

"I could of forgot you. I can't believe it's you. You'd- You'd changed." he stares at her.

"So did you." They chuckled as they gazed at one another for a while, smiling. "Eugene? How come I'd never seen you anymore?"

He stubborn for a moment. Until his eyes widen at the door that was cracked opened, hearing a low voice talking to someone downstairs.

"Uh-oh." Rapunzel looked at his direction. "He's home."

"Who?" Rapunzel asked.

"My Uncle. He doesn't like to see people that he doesn't know in here, without him knowing."

"Oh. Um...Maybe I could-"

"You have to get out of here." he grabbed her whist and lead her to the door but backed up. "No...I can't let you leave that way." he bit his bottom lip, thinking.

"The window." Rapunzel suggested. He nodded and pulled the curtains opened to the window. It was the biggest window there and there was no glass on it. No wonder it was cooler than downstairs. Eugene helped her climb out. She then grabbed his hand.

"Wait...will I see you again?" she asked.

He looked worried and thought for a second. "Of course. Just... come only in the afternoon." he said in a rush.

"Like this time?"

"Yes. Now hurry. Make sure no one sees you." With that Rapunzel jumped down and hit the forest floor. She looks up, not seeing Eugene's face anymore. What was that all about?

She was filled with joy after finding her friend. She skipped for a while and then ran home. It was way pass noon and her parents were going to be furious than ever. But she didn't care.

There was a reason this time...

And The end of Chapter Four. It was short and horrible. Alright First I'm going to cry, and then I'm going to beg you to keep on reading this story.
