In the hours that followed Rapunzel, her Captain of the Guard and Queen Elsa arrived at Corona. Once Maximus saw Agnes outside the gate he ran up to the fence whinnying and the two horses had an emotional reunion. Eugene greeted everyone at the gate. "What have Elsa and the Captain decided?" Eugene asked.
"The Captain decided to give up Maximus," Rapunzel said.
"Give him up?"
"I'm sorry Eugene, I see no other way."
"I'll miss him."
"I'm going to miss him too. At least he'll get to be with his mare."
Rapunzel went into the palace to check on Pascal. She told him of Maximus' impending departure and Pascal squeaked, frowned and turned blue as if to cry. "I'm going to miss him too." Rapunzel said.
She placed Pascal on her shoulder and went back outside. Rapunzel arrived back in the palace yard just in time to see Max get hitched to the back of the wagon, alongside Agnes. Rapunzel held her chameleon at eye level to Maximus and the two animals sadly nuzzled each other's faces as if to exchange tearful goodbyes.
Eugene patted Maximus' hindquarters. "How about that, you're going to be with your mare. Good luck buddy."
Knowing that he was going to be with Agnes slowly restored Max's spirits. He playfully swatted his tail in Eugene's face. Rapunzel winked at Maximus and giggled and the white stallion grinned and raised his eyebrows. Eugene in the meantime was spitting out horse hair for a minute. Eugene soon laughed too.
Rapunzel turned to the Captain of the Guard, "You did the right thing Captain."
"I know. He was such a good horse," the Captain said.
Elsa looked back at the gate, "Are any of you coming?"
"Yes, we're coming," Rapunzel replied as she boarded the wagon with the Captain and Eugene following her. Before long, the carriage started back to Arendelle.
"Well Max seemed to come to life again once we hitched him with his mare in the back," Eugene said with a laugh.
Elsa joined in on the conversation, "No kidding my horse was neighing for joy back at Corona."
"It's clear that they're now themselves again. Yay!" Rapunzel said while jumping in her seat.
"You know Eugene? When Rapunzel told me she was pregnant she was singing and practically jumping around. Is she always this energetic and feisty?"
Eugene chuckled, "You have no idea."
Elsa laughed along with him, "there's definitely never a dull moment with her around, that's for sure."
Rapunzel playfully elbowed Elsa. Elsa smiled and hugged Rapunzel.
"I see you and my wife are getting along," Eugene said.
"She's always been nice to me."
Eugene nodded in agreement.
Just then, they arrived back in Arendelle. Elsa unhitched Maximus and Agnes from the back of the wagon and led them into the stables with the guards' help. Elsa walked back to Rapunzel's Captain of the Guard and had a word with him about her deal. "About the first colt that I promised," Elsa said.
"What about it?"
"It would be best if we wait a year so that he'll be walking and ready to be trained at least. By then I'll give their first colt to you."
"All right."
The Captain boarded the wagon, "I have to return to Corona, you take care your Majesty."
"You too."
After Elsa walked inside the castle she met Princess Anna. "So did everything go all right?" Anna asked.
"Yes, it did, though you and I have some talking to do."
"No! Please Elsa! I've learned my lesson, I swear! I'll listen from now on."
Elsa grabbed Anna by the ear. "Oh you'll listen all right after I'm done with you. It's time to dispense some sisterly love."
