Flynn walked beside Rapunzel as she strolled around the village. He knew he could just ditch her here but he couldn't get himself to walk away. He soon got bored and started to look around the village, noting down each and every stall that had stole things from. As they strolled down the markets, Rapunzel stopped by one to examine the fruits there. Flynn looked around, waiting for Rapunzel to finish when he spotted two big thugs.
The thugs spotted him and started to slowly walk towards him and Rapunzel. Alerted by this, he quickly called Rapunzel. "Hey, Rapunzel" said Flynn, his eyes never leaving sight of the thugs. "Yeah?" asked Rapunzel, looking up at Flynn. "We should go…" said Flynn, ready to sprint. "Why?" asked Rapunzel, straightening up. "Just… Never mind" said Flynn, pulling Rapunzel up to his back. "What are you doing?" asked Rapunzel, looking down at Flynn confused. "Get ready" said Flynn. "Wha-Whoa!" shouted Rapunzel, her arms tightening around Flynn as he sprinted off.
"What are you doing!" shouted Rapunzel, her eyes shut and arms tightly secured around Flynn. Flynn looked back and saw the thugs chasing after him. He increased speed and accidentally ran into the forest. He sprinted past trees, trying his best to avoid hurting Rapunzel. He ducked and jumped as he trekked the forest. As he ran, a branch cut his arm, drawing blood.
He soon sprinted into a clearing in the forest; he looked around and saw that he had lost the thugs. "Ok, we're safe now" said Flynn, looking around while setting Rapunzel down. When Rapunzel's feet touched the ground and he eyes opened, she hit Flynn in the chest multiple times, Flynn taking the hits. "What were you thinking?" shouted Rapunzel after she had finished her barrage of punches. "I was saving you" said Flynn, walking towards the river that was in the clearing. "Saving me?! You ran into a forest and now we're stuck here!" said Rapunzel, gesturing at the forest around them.
"I know that, but we're lucky we lost them" said Flynn, cupping some water in his hand. "Lost who?" asked Rapunzel. "Those thugs that were chasing us" said Flynn, pouring the water on his arm. Flynn instantly erupted into a loud shout as the water touched his wound. "Whoa! Are you alright?" asked Rapunzel, walking towards Flynn and sitting down next to him. "Yeah, I'm fine, just a little scratch that's all" said Flynn, rolling up his sleeve. As he rolled it up, the wound became more apparent to Rapunzel.
"Flynn, what happened?" asked Rapunzel, softly touching the wound. "I think I cut myself on a branch when I ran" said Flynn, pouring another handful of water at the wound. Flynn hissed at the pain. "Stop! Here let me help" said Rapunzel, wrapping her hair around the wound. "Woah, Woah, Woah. What are you doing?" asked Flynn, pushing Rapunzel's hands away. "I'm healing it" said Rapunzel, her hands returning to her original position. "You can't heal with hair" said Flynn, bewildered at Rapunzel's statement.
"Just watch" said Rapunzel. Flynn shut up and waited. Rapunzel then sang in her melodious voice:
Flower, gleam and glow
Let your power shine
Make the clock reverse
Bring back what once was mine
Heal what has been hurt
Change the fates' design
Save what has been lost
Bring back what once was mine
What once was mine
As Rapunzel sang, her hair started to glow, shocking Flynn. As soon as she finished her song, her hair stopped glowing and she looked up at Flynn's bewildered face. She slowly unwrapped her hair from Flynn's arm and new skin replaced the wound as if it had never happened. "H-Ho-How did you do that?" asked Flynn, looking at his arm with confusion. "I discovered it when I accidentally cut my hand trying to cook" said Rapunzel, looking at her hand, which Flynn supposed was the hand she cut.
"And why'd you think that you hair could heal it?" asked Flynn, raising an eyebrow at her. "I didn't. The cut actually stayed with me for a few days until my hand got caught in my hair while I was combing it. Flynn was speechless after Rapunzel finished her explanation. Silence fell over them as they avoided eye contact. "By the way, who were those thugs that were chasing us?" asked Rapunzel, looking at Flynn, who returned the gaze.
"Probably some guys who wanted to kidnap you" lied Flynn. "Oh" said Rapunzel, the silence falling over them again. Flynn stood up and walked towards the forest. "Hey! Where do you think you're going?" asked Rapunzel, chasing Flynn, who stopped in his track. "Getting fire wood" said Flynn, looking at Rapunzel. "Fire wood? We can just walk back, we're not far off anyway… right?" said Rapunzel. "What do you think? I ran in here for almost an hour and found this place after. How far do you think we are?" said Flynn. "Very?" asked Rapunzel, squinting her eyes at Flynn. "Yes, very" said Flynn, starting to walk again.
Flynn soon disappeared slightly into the forest. "Hey!" If you're going, I'm coming too!" shouted Rapunzel, running into the forest towards Flynn.
