Hi, Everyone! I'm back with Chapter 2! I hope everyone liked the first chapter and I apologize for it being so short. The first few chapters will be kind of short…sorry. Anyway enough from. Please Enjoy and Review!
P.S. I don't own Tangled.
12 years later, the next morning, Rapunzel was sprinting down the palace hallway to her fiance's room. Once she got to the room, she didn't even bother knocking. She ran inside and jumped on the bed, "Eugene!"
"AH!" Eugene jumped and fell off the bed onto the floor with a thud.
"Eugene…were you sleeping on the edge again?" Rapunzel asked chuckling.
"Well, I was balanced until you came." he said sleepily smirking. He got off the floor and sat back on the bed grabbing Rapunzel and pulling her onto his lap.
"Ugh! Eugene!" she laughed. "Let me go!' she laughed again, looking at him with bright emerald eyes.
"Now, why are you so jumpy?" he asked smiling.
"Eugene! Don't play stupid!" she said playfully smacking his chest. "…It's Christmas!" she yelled happily.
"Oh, is that today?" he asked smirking.
"Yes, today!" she yelled bumping him.
"I must have forgotten." He said pulling her in for a gentle but passionate kiss. She put both her hands on his face pulling him in closer, savoring the moment.
When she pulled back for a much needed breath, she looked deep into his amber eyes. She leaned forward to whisper in his ear, "Last one there gets coal."
"What?" he pulled back confused. Before he could say anything else, she had already jumped off his lap and was running out the door.
Next to the Library, the Royal Family Sitting Room was one of Eugene's favorite rooms throughout the castle. It was a good sized room with a huge fireplace and comfy chairs and couches. All the seats sat in a circle, normally with a big coffee table in the middle. The King and Queen sat in two chairs together at the end. The Christmas tree was next to the King's chair on the right. It wasn't small, but it wasn't huge either. Rapunzel and Eugene were sitting hand-in-hand on one of the big plush couches. The King and Queen were across from them. To the left of Rapunzel and Eugene was the Captain of the Guard and his wife. The King and the Captain were very close, they were close childhood friends. Believe it or not, the Captain and Eugene had very much grown on each other. They treated each other respectively and kindly…most of the time. And when Eugene didn't have anything to do during the day, while Rapunzel was in lessons, he just chilled in the Captain's office. This even surprised the Captain…at first…that he was this close to Rider and didn't want to ring his neck. (This may sound crazy, but I guess they're what you could call…friends now.)
After the presents were all passed out and opened, they all sat and talked, laughed, and drank hot chocolate. (Rapunzel's favorite drink.) While everyone was talking the Captain leaned over to his wife and whispered, "Are you ready?"
"Ready as I'll ever be." She replied smiling.
The Captain cleared his throat and said, "I have one more thing." He pulled out a large envelope and handed it to Eugene. "Here." He said, maybe not as calmly as he would've liked, but oh well.
"Ok?" Eugene said a little confused.
"Open it."
"I'm getting there, relax." Eugene said smiling. He opened the envelope and pulled out the papers that were inside. The smile on his face disappeared instantly, once he saw the papers. He now had a look of shock, sadness, disbelief, and a hint of horror. Everyone waited watching silently. Rapunzel tried to see the papers, but Eugene held the so she couldn't.
"Eugene, what is it?" Rapunzel asked concerned, laying a hand on his shoulder.
Eugene, still staring at the papers in his hands shakily said, "…W-Where d-did you g-get these?" He slowly looked up to the Captain, tears brimming in his eyes, his face red.
"The orphanage…12 years ago…" the Captain said quietly looking down at his hands and feet.
Eugene was back to staring at the papers again. "Eugene?" Rapunzel asked a little more concerned and worried now, "Are you ok?"
"Uh…I can't…I'm sorry." he said shaking his head. "Please excuse me." And with that Eugene got up and left the room in a hurry.
