A/N: Once again, thanks for all the reviews I haven't replied, but they mean so much to me and like I said several times before, its' the source for my writing and the thing that keeps the desire to write and my gratitude can't be described with words.

Maximus woke up and saw that Alice had fallen asleep in his arms as he was still holding, trying to recover what happened last night or if it was just a dream he had been having several times for the past month. He smiled and let out a sigh as he managed to slip out of his grab on Alice without waking her up, she was adorable the way she laid and slept on the couch. He decided to take some fresh air and ran a few miles and as he got home and took a shower, Alice woke up. She walked into the kitchen and took some breakfast and sat down and waited for Maximus to come down. He got into some fresh clothes and sat down with Alice and they smiled at each other and held each other's hand and their lips met in a passionate kiss.

"Good morning Alice" Maximus said and looked deep into her eyes that was beautiful to him, just like the rest of her, just as on the inside.

"Good morning Max" they went over to the couch and turned on the news, where they had very surprising news on and it was good that they heard them, they were really important. A news man showed up and had Eugene live as they sat there on the couch.

"I'm standing here with Eugene Fitzherbert who will be in court in two hours since the court decided to move it a little time back to make sure not to holding the Stabbington Brothers longer than legal" he turned his attention away from the camera and turned to Eugene who stood with Rapunzel at his side.

"Eugene, how do you feel about going to court one day before assumed?" Eugene didn't take long before he answered.

"I'm fine with it and hopefully it won't change the result because I have to admit that I normally don't want to see people be punished, but in this case after what they put me through, I hope they get the hard penalty and if it turns out that they can be found innocent after what the burns and other medical results are showing, then I'd say that the meaning of the word justice is lost for good" Maximus was surprised to see how Eugene took it and he totally agreed with him.

"I guess we have to get to the court in less than two hours" Alice asked Maximus who nodded and got up to get changed. Maximus and Alice sat into his car and drove over to the court and got there before Eugene and Rapunzel had walked in and as the four were met by Pascal, they were stepping inside as editors and TV reporters was surrounding them and two guards came out as Eugene tried his best to avoid their question for the mean time.

"I'm sorry, but the courts is about to start and I promise to answer your question when I know the result" Eugene stepped in and sat on one side with his lawyer and Maximus' father who were the policeman in charge of the case, while the Stabbington Brothers sat in front of him with their defense and looked evil into Eugene's eyes as he just looked calm at them as Rapunzel, Maximus, Alice and Pascal were joined by Eugene's family and some other attenders.

"This court is now official starting!" the judge shouted and smashed his wood hammer into the desk in front of him.

"The court is against Andrew Stabbington and Andreas Stabbington" the judge turned to look straight at the brothers.

"What do you have to say in your defense?" they turned to face each other and the one brother stood up.

"It was Rider's own fault and if he hadn't teased us up, then none of this would have happened" Eugene was about to laugh of such a lame excuse. It was almost as if he wanted to go to jail, but he didn't care as long as they were sent there. Normally Eugene didn't think about people like that, but he couldn't take when people hurt him or someone he cared about, so he hoped that said in the interview was going to happen and they would be brought to justice. Maximus' father stood up and asked permission to speak, the judge approved and ordered Andrew Stabbington to sit and when he got his butt on the seat, he spoke up.

"Hard violence are something we take most serious according to law and the assault could, as it says in the rapport I have here from the doctor who had responsibility of Mr. Eugene Fitzherbert, have killed him and the burns on his body shows that it was way, way over the line and if justice is to be found, when it shouldn't be a small punishment" then the defense of the brothers stood up and spoke his words, it seems like they had an even worse chance of getting a low punishment and after more than just some disagreements between the defense and the lawyer, the judge asked to see the medical rapport that was brought. He looked very closely to it and saw that the point that Police Chief Michelson had was good. He ordered the lawyers to stand up and the intensity floated over the room. The judge spoke.

"What punishment does the lawyers of Mr. Eugene Fitzherbert and the lawyer of Mr. Andrew Stabbington and Mr. Andreas Stabbington suggest?" the intensity hadn't been bigger since he turned his look to Eugene's lawyer first.

"Eight years of prison" the lawyer said formal and stood up and said no less as the judge turned his look to the defense of the Stabbington Brothers.

"Prison doesn't serve here, so I suggest this. Society service" everybody looks turned to the defense and looked at him as if he was insane or something, because never in the history of Corona had there been an assault like this without prison term.

The judge turned his head to his extra judges and they mumbled between them so one heard a word. Then the judge made ready to announce the punishment.

"I hereby sentence Andrew Stabbington and Andreas Stabbington to five years of jail" everyone stood and was quite shocked.

"The court is dismissed" then he slammed his hammer and the constables surrounded the brothers and took them away. They struggled and were just about to get loose when an officer knocked them unconscious with his stick and they were put in handcuffs and dragged into a police truck on their way back to prison. When they were out of distance, Eugene stepped out to talk to all the editors and TV reporters that have standing waiting for getting an interview. Eugene silenced all the reporters.

"One question at the time, I can't remember all your questions, so please slow down" fortunate for him, the reporters ordered his request and while he was talking, Maximus was waiting for him with Alice, Rapunzel and Pascal.

"What do you say to the punishment?"

"Serves them right, I was surprised that my lawyer said eight years, but I was more close to collapse in laughter when the defense said society service, that was ridiculous and thank god for me that he was the one leading them through because it seems like he didn't helped them a lot, some of his point shocked even the judge"

"How does it feel to have it over?"

"That's the best thing about it, I'm gonna take my friends and my beautiful girlfriend home to have some fun and let us get ready for school who starts in two days" Rapunzel wanted to race into Eugene's arms and crushed all the air out of him, she stood crying after listen that he told the whole of Corona that she was beautiful, it was more than she could have wanted of him.

"Have the even affected you physical or physiologic?"

"Not since I came out of hospital and I don't think it would have affected me physiologic unless they haven't got the punishment that they deserved" after a lot more of question, Eugene decided that he had answered enough question and left the reporters. Eugene, Alice, Pascal, Rapunzel and Maximus got into Eugene's car and drove them home to his parents who Eugene had messaged that he would take them home. Then they got into the house.

"Mother, father, Jane, this Maximus Michelson, Pascal Ferdinand, Alice Thatch and Rapunzel that you have already met" Eugene pointed to each as he presented them. Rapunzel saw Jane rush into her and embraced her, Rapunzel just like Jane had missed her a lot and they had a great time when Eugene and Rapunzel had until now.

"Danielle Robertson, my husband Jack Robertson, our daughter Jane and this is our little dog named Bella" Pascal had always loved dogs and the dog seemed to like him very much so she enjoyed a long scratch and Maximus and Alice greeted Eugene's parents.

"So are you staying long?"

"They're just staying for the night and I'll drive them home to each other tomorrow" Rapunzel stood and wondered what would happen to her, since her parents wouldn't be back before in two weeks. She decided to ask him when it was only the two of them. They decided that since they were so many they ordered pizza for tonight and after they had ate the last piece, they had been sitting by the table for almost three hours. Eugene decided to offer his parents that he could take the evening walk with Bella and as he was about to walk out, he was stopped.

"Let me come with you, I want to talk a little with you"

"Alice, can you take a little time with Jane, please?" Alice nodded and smiled, she had admired Jane since she saw her. They walked out. After close to ten minutes and they were half way, Eugene knew there was something bothering Rapunzel and she hadn't spoken up yet.

"What's bothering you Blondie?" Rapunzel tried hard not to look into Eugene's eyes. He stopped at the instant and made her and she knew there was no way out of it.

"My parents won't be home before one or two weeks, I'm just wondering what I'll do until then if you're gonna drive us back, I don't like to be alone and not have a ride for school" Eugene almost forgot that Rapunzel's parents had been gone for a very long time and besides he wanted to with her as much as possible, it was a mutual feeling that made their relationship something else.

"I'll arrange that you can stay with us until school, but we need to pick up your stuff at Max's house anyway" Rapunzel took Eugene's hand smiled at him, he was almost lost in thoughts when Rapunzel made her lips to his and they passionately kissed for some time before walking home.

"Eugene?"

"Yes?"

"I love you" Eugene smiled and kissed her lips shortly.

"I love you too, you're the best thing ever happen to me" Rapunzel embraced him, she felt so lucky to have him by her side after all what happen the last time, they all hoped it would be over soon. They walked in as Pascal had already gone to bed and Alice sat alone with Maximus and Rapunzel as well as Eugene saw their lips meet and as they were discovered, they got up and smiled confident as if nothing to hide.

"Are you started dating Max?" Rapunzel asked curious as Eugene stood beside her. Maximus and Alice both nodded and were greeted, they had already told Pascal and now he only needed a date before everyone could say they found their love. The four of them sat up for an hour before they were followed to bed by Eugene who showed them the second guest room where there was three beds and Pascal was lying snoring so hard that they didn't think nothing would wake up, not that it was so high you couldn't sleep, but he seemed lost in his sleep. Alice, Maximus, Eugene and Rapunzel got into an embrace and after that, Eugene and Rapunzel got to Eugene's room to share his bed. It all ended as a good day and Rapunzel hoped that everyone would turn out more perfect now than they already where.
