Chapter Ninety-Two: I have a Dream

Later that day Flynn was climbing down the tower with two arrows and Jason and Max jaws dropped at how high they were.

"Where the door to this place?!" Max said.

"Come on Max" Jason said as they used the wines growing on the tower to climb down.

"You coming, Blondie?" Flynn called.

"Her name Rapunzel Flynn Ryder" Jason said.

"Look at the world so close, and I'm half way to it. Look at it all, so big do I even dare? Look at me there at last I just have to do it. Should I? No. Here I go" Rapunzel sang as Pascal tied some hair around himself on Rapunzel shoulder and gave her a thumbs up as she dropped her hair down as it hung away from Flynn, Jason and Max as they heard her laugh as she slid herself down then stop a few inches away from the grass before setting her foot down and laughed, "Just smell the grass, the dirt just like I dreamed they'd be. Just feel that summer breeze. The way it's calling me. For like the first time ever, I'm completely free! I could go running, and racing,

and dancing and chasing, and leaping and bounding, hair flying, heart pounding and splashing and reeling and finally feeling, now's when my life begins!"

"She's happy" Jason smiled reaching the forest Rapunzel ran in.

"I can't believe I did this!" Rapunzel said, "I can't believe I did this" she mumbled, "I CAN'T BELIEVE I DID THIS!"

"She just showed three reactions to that sentence" Max said.

"Mother will be so furious" she said looking guilty.

Later! Rapunzel sat on a rock by a pound as Flynn, Jason and Max stood away from her.

"That's okay, what she doesn't know won't kill her, right?"

Later in a cave!

"Oh my gosh, this will kill her!"

In the forest again!

"THIS IS SO FUN!" she said kicking a pile of leaves.

In a tree!

"I am a horrible daughter, I'm going back"

On a hill!

"I am never going baaaccckkk!" Rapunzel laughed rolling down a hill and getting wrapped up in her hair.

In a field of flowers!

"I am a despicable human being!" She said with her face in the flowers.

Swinging around a large three!

"WAHHOOOOO! Best day, ever!"

She was then sobbing by some rocks as Jason, Max and Flynn approached.

"Okay the first two times, understandable but now this is getting annoying" Max said as Flynn cleared his throat to get Rapunzel attention.

"You know, I can't help but notice, you seem a little at war with yourself, here" Flynn said.

"What?" Rapunzel said.

"Now I'm only picking up bits and pieces of course, overprotective mother, forbidden road trip I mean this is serious stuff but let me ease your conscious. This is part of growing up a little rebellion, a little adventure that's good, healthy even" he said whacking Pascal off his shoulder as Rapunzel laughed.

"You think?"

"I know. You're way over thinking this, trust me. Did your mother deserve it? No. Will this break her heart and crush her soul? Of course but you just got to do it" Flynn said.

"Dude!" Jason said.

"Break her heart?" Rapunzel said.

"In half" Flynn said picking a berry from a bush.

"Crush her soul?" she said as he crushed the berry between his fingers.

"Like a grape."

"She would be heart broken, you're right."

"I am aren't I? Oh bother. All right, I can't believe I'm saying this, but...I'm letting you out of the deal."

"What?" she said as he picked up her frying pan.

"That's right but don't thank me. Let's just turn around, and you go home, and your frog" he said handing her the frying pan and Pascal, "I get back my satchel. You get back a mother daughter relationship based on mutual trust and viola! We part ways as unlikely friends."

Rapunzel then shoved his hand away, "No, I am seeing those lanterns!"

"Oh, come on! What is it going to take to get my satchel back?" he said as she pointed her frying pan at him.

"I will use this!" she said.

"I like her" Max said as they heard a branch snapped and looked to the bushes to see something moving around in it.

"What is it?!" she said hiding behind Flynn, "ruffians, thugs? Have they come for me?!"

A bunny then hopped from the bushes as Jason sighed and made his keyblades vanish.

"Stay calm, it can probably smell fear" Flynn said with an annoyed expression with her on his back.

"Oh, sorry" she said getting off, "guess I'm just a little bit, jumpy."

"Probably be best if we avoid ruffians and thugs, though" Flynn said as she chuckled.

"Yeah, that's probably best" Rapunzel said.

"Are you hungry? I know a great place for lunch" Flynn said.

"You do?" Jason said eyeing him with caution.

"Where?" Rapunzel asked.

"Oh, don't you worry you'll know it when you smell it" he said leading them.

"I don't trust him" Max said.

"Nor do I but let's keep a close eye" Jason said as Pascal climbed on his shoulder.

Later that day they felt the woods to find a trail.

"I know it's around here, somewhere ah, there it is!" Flynn said pointing to a pub by a large tree, "The Snuggly duckling."

"Hmm looks okay" Jason said.

"Don't worry, very quaint place, perfect for you, don't want you scaring, and giving up on this endeavor now do we?" Flynn said.

"Well, I do like duckling" Rapunzel said.

"YAY!" Flynn said as he lead them to the door and swung it open, "Garcon, your finest table, please!"

Jason, Max, Rapunzel and Pascal eyes widen to see the pub full of tugs and ruffians as Jason glared at Flynn when Rapunzel gasped and pointed her frying pan.

"Flynn!" Jason growled.

"You smell that? Take a deep breath through the nose" Flynn said inhaling.

"Ugh! Did something die in here?! Stupid question something probably did" Max said plugging his nose.

"Really, let that seep in What are you getting?

Because to me, it's part man smell and the other part is really bad man smell. I don't know why, but overall, it smells like the color brown, your thought?" Flynn as a guy grab Rapunzel hair.

"That's a lot of hair." He said as Jason and Max helped her pull it into bunches they could carry.

"She's growing it out, is that blood on your moustache? Goldie, look at this, look at

all the blood on his moustache. Look, I'm sure that's a lot of blood!" Flynn said.

"Flynn knock it off!" Jason yelled seeing how scared she looked.

"Hey, you don't look so good, Blondie maybe we should get you home, call it a day. Probably better off, this is a five star joint after all and if you can't handle this place, well maybe you should be back in your tower" he said trying to lead them to the door as it slammed shut by a large thug.

"Is this you?" he asked pointing to Flynn wanted poster as they saw the nose was way off as Flynn groaned.

"Now they're just being mean" Flynn said.

"Oh, it's him all right" a man with a hook said, "Gretta, go find some guards that reward is going to buy me a new hook" he said as a large man snatched Flynn.

"I can use the money!"

"What about me? I'm broke!" another large thug yelled snatching him as all the thugs began to fight over Flynn.

"Boys, stop!" Rapunzel yelled.

"We can work this out!" Flynn said.

"I would say serve him right but we need him" Jason sighed.

"Hey, leave him alone!" Rapunzel yelled.

"Gentlemen please!" Flynn yelled

"Give me back my guide you ruffians!" Rapunzel yelled.

Hook man was then about to swing his fist to Flynn as Jason sighed and pointed his Keyblade to the roof then swung it down on the hook man head as he glared at them as he room got quite.

"Put him down!" Rapunzel yelled.

"She know's how to use that fryng pan!" Max said.

"Okay, I don't know where I am, and I need him to take me to see the lanterns, because I've been dreaming about them my entire life. Find your humanity. Haven't any of you ever had a dream?" Rapunzel said as the man drew an ax and Jason and Max summoned their weapons and stood in front of Rapunzel as he approached.

"I, had a dream once" Hook man said.

"Eh?" Jason said threw the ax to a man in the corner with an according and missed his head as the man began to play as Jason and Max noticed the chain ball attached to the man leg.

"I'm malicious mean and scary. My sneer could curdle dairy. And violence-wise my hands are not the cleanest" he sang as they looked to the body tape on the floor as they backed away from it.

"But despite my evil look, and my temper and my hook! I've always yearned to be a concert pianist!" he sang playing a piano.

"Can't cha see me on the stage performing Mozart! Tickling the ivories, 'til they gleam. Yep, I'd rather be called deadly. For my killer show-tune medley.

Thank you. 'Cause way down deep inside I've got a dream!"

"He's got a dream, he's got a dream!" all the thugs in the pub sang as Flynn, Max and Jason looked around in confusion.

"See, I ain't as cruel and vicious as I seem! Though I feel like breaking femurs! You can count me with the dreamers! Like everybody else, I've gotta dream!"

"What the heck?" Max said.

"I am just as confused as you are Max" Jason said.

"I've got scars and lumps and bruises, plus there's something here that oozes and let's not even mention my complexion but despite my extra toes and my goiter and my nose I really want to make a love

connection!" a big nose man sang.

"Can't you see me with a special little lady. Rowing in a row boat, down the stream. Though I'm one disgusting blighter I'm a lover, not a fighter. 'Cause way down deep inside, I gotta dream!"

"I gotta dream, I gotta dream and I know one day romance will reign supreme. Though my face leaves people screaming. There's a child behind it dreaming. Like everybody else, I've gotta dream!"

"Tor would like to quit and be a florist."

"Gunther does interior design."

"Ulf is into mime."

"Attila's cupcakes are sublime."

"Bruiser knits, Killer sews."

"Fang does little puppet shows."

"And Vladimir collects ceramic unicorns."

"What about you?" Hook asked Flynn Jason and Max.

"I'm sorry us?" Flynn said.

"What's your dream?" Big nose asked as they pulled him off the hook he hung on the wall and set to the ground.

"No, no, no. Sorry boys, I don't sing" Flynn said.

"Sorry guys" Jason said as every sword in the room got pointed at them.

"I have dreams like you, no really. Just much less, touchy-feely. They mainly happen somewhere warm and sunny. On an island that I own, tanned and rested and alone. Surrounded by enormous piles of money!" Flynn sang.

"My dreams are simple really. It's embarrassing but hear me. I just really want to win heart of the girl of my dreams! Travel to place! Having adventures! That's all I have to dream really!" Jason sang.

"Hey listen closely! My dreams are not so mushy but my dream is already seem to be coming true! I dreamed of having an adventure! And proving my dad I am not just a kid! So thanks to my friend Jason my dream came true!" Max sang

"I got a dream!" Rapunzel sang.

" She's got a dream!"

"I just want to see the floating lanterns gleam! And with every passing hour I'm so glad I left my tower! Like all you lovely folks, I've got a dream."

"She's gotta dream, He's gotta dream. They've gotta dream, we've gotta dream. So our differences ain't really that extreme. We're one big team!"

"Call us brutal or sadistic and grotesquely optimistic. 'Cause way down deep inside, we've gotta dream."

"We gotta dream, I gotta dream!"

"Yes everybody here has got a Dreeeeeeaaaaamm!"

"Yeah!"

"I found the guards!" a man yelled running into the pub.

"Oh snap" Jason said as Flynn grabbed Rapunzel and they all hid behind the bar.

"Where's Ryder, where is he?" The Captain of the Guards yelled entering the room, "I know he's in here somewhere. Find him, turn the place upside down!"

"What are we going to do?" Max whispered as they saw Hook Man hook as he opened a secret passage leading into a tunnel.

"Go, live your dreams" Hook said to Rapunzel, Jason and Max.

"I will" Flynn said as Hook frowned.

"Your dream stinks, I was talking to them" he said as Flynn moved into the tunnel followed by Max and Jason.

"Thanks for everything" Rapunzel said kissing his cheek and followed after them.

"I believe this is the man you're looking for" a large thug said holding up the small bearded man in a cupid outfit.

"You got me!" Shorty said holding out his hand.

"Sir, there's no sign of Ryder" a guard said coming down the stairs as they heard a horse whinny as Maximus kicked open the door.

"Maximus" the Captain said as the horse sniffed the ground then approached the bar.

"What he's doing?" a guard asked as the captain covered his mouth as Maximus point to the bar

Then hit a leaver and opened the passage the four used to escape.

"A passage, come on men, let's go!" the Captain said, "Corman, make sure those don't get away!" he yelled as the guard point a sphere to the Stabbington Brothers as one headbutted him and picked up the sphere to pick the lock on his brother.

"Play it safe, we'll go get the crown" he said as they followed after the guards and Shorty stumbled out the pub where Gothel was by the window

"I gotta dream, I got some dream!" he sang as he spotted Gothel "Hi, ohhh, somebody get me a glass. 'Cause I just found me a tall drink of water."

"Oh stop it, you big lug" she said pointing a knife to his nose, "Where's that tunnel lead out?"

"Knife!"
