- Meeting the Guards

Rapunzel, Pascal, Eugene and Gothel in her cloak come out of the stairs behind the tower.

"Maximus, are you okay?" Asked Rapunzel, going over to the gallant steed.

Max shakes his head, he's exhausted from the all-out run he gave Flynn to save the good girl who was in front of him now.

"Here, I'll help." Rapunzel threw a loop of golden blonde hair over his neck and began to sing. Before the song was done he was feeling as strong as ever. That was very nice. He could run forever with her as his rider.

"That was so nice of you, dear. You're a good girl. You can run and play until the guards get here," said Gothel.

Rapunzel nodded, she didn't feel like doing any of the things she had done when she had left the first time. She just looked at the tower for a little while, it was so beautiful, she hadn't really looked at it the other times she was Outside.

Eugene put her paint box, books and doll down. Important things that she wanted to take with her to her new home. Mother had explained that they might be leaving the tower forever and that she might want a few of her things in her new home, her real home.

Soon the guards came pounding into the canyon. Rapunzel ran over the Mother, it was more then a little scary.

Gothel stood regally and called, "Welcome gentleman, I'm sure you know Flynn Rider." A couple of the men nodded as they steadied they crossbows at the most wanted man in the kingdom.

"This is Rapunzel, but you know her as Princess Solara, the Lost Princess." They all gaped at the princess, who waved nervously from behind Gothel. There were some happy looks exchanged among the guards.

Gothel took a deep breath to steady herself, "And I am Freiin Gothel von Ellwangen and I kidnapped her. I surrender."

Crossbows that had been aimed at Flynn suddenly were all pointing at her.

"Please, don't hurt her!" Rapunzel stepped in front of Mother to protect her.

The sergeant wasn't exactly sure what to do having captured the two most wanted criminals in the history of the kingdom and finding the Lost Princess all at the same time. He had the criminals chained and offered the princess a ride on Maximus.

"Do you have to chain them?" Asked the Lost Princess.

"Yes, I do, ma'am." He replied as they started the journey back to the kingdom.
