A/N: Hello! I give you chapter 3, Tower Goodbyes. It's a shortie, but it didn't really fit with the first chapter or the chapter after this, and I really felt like I needed to include this. So here you are! Oh, oh, oh, and I married Eugene this afternoon! Teehee, I know, right? *you give me the Eugene give Punzie when she tells him she never breaks her promises* *SIGH* Fine. In the game Life I married him. And we had six children. Oh yes :)

And oh my goodness, I forgot my disclaimer last time! Whoopsie-daisy...Shh, don't call the cops on me :)

I don't own Tangled, because Disney is stupid and doesn't know how to share, even though though they're what, almost 90 years old or something? Shaaaaaaaaaare, Disney, shaaaaare! Stubborn Disney: No! Me: :P

"You okay?" Eugene tentatively came up behind Rapunzel and laid a hand on her shoulder.

They had gathered up a few needed items from her tower (like the frying pan that somehow managed to survive all their adventures), and were about to leave.

Rapunzel was standing in the middle of the room, arms wrapped around herself, studying the walls, the floors, the furniture, the swirl of brown hair wrapped around the room, really everything about her tower.

"Oh, yes, I'm fine." She quickly replied, snapping back to reality.

Eugene gave her a concerned look of disbelief.

Rapunzel sighed in defeat and explained. "I know I've got to leave, and let go of this place, but…I don't know, it's kind of hard. I know it'll be better with my parents, but I don't know. I'll miss this place, I think. It's where we first met." She smiled at the memory of their first meeting.

"We can always come back." He whispered, wrapping his arms around her middle.

"Really?" Rapunzel asked hopefully.

"Of course. Whenever you want."

"Thank you, Eugene. I don't know what I'd do without you." She said, nestling into his chest.

Suddenly, her head bolted upright and she gasped.

"Where's Pascal?" she asked urgently, scanning the room to find her little green companion. Spotting him by the window, she ran over to him.

"Pascal!" Rapunzel greeted, cupping her hands for him to crawl into.

The chameleon gingerly stepped into Rapunzel's hands and curled into a little ball.

"Aw, you poor thing, you didn't get much sleep at all last night, did you? And you got hurt, didn't you?" she cooed as Pascal nodded his head sadly.

Eugene wasn't one to be concerned about animals, especially this one, with the whole tongue-in-ear greeting thing, but he had to admit he felt a bit sorry for Pascal. Getting kicked across the room by someone's boot while trying to protect your mistress (or…whatever Rapunzel was in relation to Pascal) probably hurt quite a bit, especially when you're a frog.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, baby." She continued, bringing her hands up to her face and cuddling him. "We're gonna go home to my real parents, though, and I'm sure you'll like that, won't you, Pascal? They'll treat you really good. And just think, you might meet another cute little chameleon!"

Pascal made a face at the last comment.

"How are we gonna get down? I don't really want to go down those stairs." She said, putting Pascal in his usual spot on her shoulder.

Eugene understood why she didn't want to use the stairs. Less than an hour ago, she was about to be forced down those dark steps and taken away to somewhere unknown, never to see the outside world again. And then Eugene got an idea.

"Wanna learn how to scale tall buildings?"

"Definitely." Rapunzel answered confidently.

And so Rapunzel learned a very important lesson on thieving that morning.
