Chapter 3: Zel
Rapunzel sighed mightily as she looked out the window. For good measure she sighed again, although no one was there to hear it. This irritated her, and she proceeded to sigh louder and louder so that someone would hear her and ask her what was wrong. She soon got very dizzy and had to stop.
She hated being trapped in this stuffy tower. The old witch wasn't bad, as far as evil characters go. She had a cousin who'd been stuck with a really cruel witch, and ended up sleeping under a glass coffin. As far as she knew, Snow was still there. Zel counted herself lucky.
But still, it was a boring life. She had consigned herself to hair-brushing…she started at dawn and got about halfway through by the time sunset came around. She hated long hair. She wanted desperately to cut it off, but witchy wouldn't let her.
While she was staring out the window, thinking these pathetic self-pitying thoughts, Rapunzel noticed something in the distance. A figure was approaching the tower. It wasn't witchy, it was too tall. Rapunzel watched as it got closer and closer, and suddenly, there was a very handsome and out-of-breath man on horseback at the base of her tower.
She called out to him, "Hello!"
He looked bewildered. "Where's the door?"
"There isn't one, silly!" she said. "I'm in an enchanted tower!"
"You must be a princess, then," he said. Without waiting for a response, he said, Ï must save you! Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair!"
Zel stared at him. "How did you know my name? And how did you know my hair was long?"
The prince stared back, bewildered, then said again, "Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair!"
"I heard you the first time!" Zel shouted, irritated. "How do you know my name?"
The prince dismounted from his horse and shouted, "That's not in the script! You're supposed to say, 'yes, dear prince' and let down your hair!"
"But I don't even know who you are!"Rapunzel shouted. "And don't call me Rapunzel. You sound like my witch."
"A witch? Then I must surely save you!" And the prince, taking to heart that the script was no longer in use, proceeded to fly up to the tower window.
When he got there, Zel crossed her arms and said, "You can't fly up to my window! It defies the laws of physics!"
The prince looked at her a moment. "It does?"
"Yep!" She replied happily, and the Prince fell to the ground below. His stallion, however, was conveniently placed underneath to break his fall, and Prince decided to try again and flew upwards. "I'm here again, so there, and now you have to come get married and live with me happily ever after."
"Why?" asked Rapunzel.
"Because I said so!" said the prince, thoroughly exasperated by now.
Rapunzel considered this for a brief moment. "Ok!" she said, and the two of them, taking to heart that the script was no longer in use, flew away to a magical castle with plenty of servants and were married.
The next day, prince had to go on a business trip.
