A/N- hey ya'll had some more inspiration here's another chapter :D

After avoiding a rather unfortunate situation with the angry prince Merlin and Arthur continued on their quest. The forest was becoming less overgrown and more open. There were large boulders, shrubs and flowers around.

"Hold up a moment," Arthur commented holding up a hand.

"What," Merlin complained moving to stand next to some hanging vines.

"This looks just like the last clearing we were in," Arthur circled around. "We've been here before," he exclaimed in frustration.

Merlin went to lean his shoulder against the rock behind the vines, "woah!" Merlin cried in surprise.

Arthur spun around, "Merlin." To his shock Merlin was gone. He ran to the hanging vines, "Merlin?" He put his hand through the hanging vines and to his surprise found himself being pulled through the rock. When he emerged on the other side he was face to face with Merlin. "Merlin what is going on?"

"I don't know I just went to lean against that rock and I…just fell through." He glanced around, "check out this place."

"This place" was a valley with a stream, flowers, bushes and- a tower. It was the tallest tower the two had ever seen it was grey, tall and had no door.

"What is this place?" Arthur asked approaching the tower.

Merlin shook his head," I have no idea."

Arthur craned his neck and stared up at the top of the tower. "Merlin there's a window up there," he stepped back. He started feeling around the grey rock wall of the tower.

"What are you doing?" Merlin demanded in alarm.

"Looking for hand holds of course," Arthur replied.

"Arthur you're not actually thinking about climbing all the way up there," he studied Arthur's face. "Are you?"

Arthur rolled his eyes, "oh come on Merlin it might be fun."

Merlin shook his head with certainty, "no, no I do not think it will be fun."

"Oh come on Merlin, let down your hair have a little bit of-ooff." His sentence was cut off by a thick, long and very blonde rope of –hair!

Merlin's jaw fell, he followed the rope pf hair with his eyes all the way up to the window. A young women was hanging out of the window and waving her arms. "Grab on she," she yelled.

Arthur, who was knocked to the ground by the blow sat up, "is she serious?" He asked in disbelief.

"I think so," Merlin grabbed on to the rope.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm letting down my-"

"Don't say it," Arthur interrupted. Grumbling to himself he hesitantly grabbed on to the rope.

To the travelers shock the rope began ascending towards the window. Soon they were face to face with a young woman who was grinning about a mile wide. "Oh please come in," she cried in glee.

Merlin and Arthur climbed in through the window into a small circular room. It was poorly furnished and the walls were covered in paintings floor to ceiling.

The women pulled all over her hair into a pile at her feet. "I don't get many visitors," she giggled and rocked on her heels. After a few moments of awkward silence, she glanced from one to the other. "So, which one of you is him?"

"Excuse me?" Arthur frowned.

"Which one of you is my prince," she inquired.

Merlin smirked and Arthur's eyes grew wide.

"Well um, you see, miss-"

"Rapunzel," she interjected.

"Right, Rapunzel," Arthur smiled patiently. "You see I am a Prince but-"

"Oh goody," she clapped her hands together. "You're my prince!" She threw her arms around him. "Oh we are going to be so happy together!"

Arthur looked over Rapunzel's shoulder at Merlin, help me. He mouthed.

Grinning Merlin just shook his head.

"Rapunzel," Arthur peeled her arms off of his neck.

"What I am trying to say is that I'm not here for you."

Rapunzel frowned, "what?"

Merlin smacked his forehead looks like he was going to have to help anyways. "What he is trying to say is that, we had no idea you were here. We just found this place on accident."

Rapunzel's eyes grew wide and her lip quivered, "you mean you're not my Prince?" She turned her puppy eyes to Arthur.

"No," Arthur shook his head.

Rapunzel turned her back to the two and fingered a painting on the wall. "So if you're not my Prince where is he?"

Merlin shot Arthur a look that said great job now you got her all upset.

"We don't know, we're sorry" Arthur stepped forward.

She turned around, her eyes glistening. "Will you help me find him?"

Merlin and Arthur glanced at each other, "Well I don't know," Arthur started.

Her eyes grew even wider and a tear ran down her cheek.

"Oh alright," Arthur growled.
