A/N: it's a big pleasure and an honour to only be 7 reviews away from my goal with 3 chapters to go. I first of all, wants to give my true followers the right ending and give them some good stuff to read, you deserve it and I don't think I'll new stories in neither Tangled, Cars or Kim Possible that I already have written a lot in or anything at least until Christmas where I finish a big writing exam on 15-20 pages that counts for a lot when I graduate next summer. If anything comes up, then it's one shots.
It was end of June and most of the Rapunzel's youth had already graduated and giving their black hats as most of the youth of Corona were starting to fill up the cash registers of the bars around the city and most of them seemed like they were more than drunk than ever in their lives. The police station were in section for keeping control of all the young men and women that celebrated through the nights after the first graduates that finished only two days ago, but they have been ready for some time as well as the graduates that started by themselves and with their nearest friends until everybody had graduated and leaving them for having one big celebration for their classes while they would end with one big congratulation party at campus for a chance for the younger youths to celebrate along with them and a chance for them to one last memory to remember from their time at Corona University that this year seemed to raised the average grates among the youth in many years.
For some strange reason, Rapunzel graduated the same day as Eugene and her friends, Maximus was the first one to get done, Eugene would be a little later and Pascal and Alice was the two just before she'd graduate and all the parents waited outside the examination room in excitement as Eugene, Alice and her parents, Pascal and Rapunzel waited outside while Maximus was up with Professor Gothel and a censor that seemed to raise the grades because the class were known as a group that held most C's while Rapunzel and the other held A's and B's up while Gothel normally held D's to many of her students, it was like the VC had to warn her every year, but didn't want to let her go off because her level was high and well for the young peoples educations.
Maximus came out and sighed high after he close the door behind him waiting for Gothel and the censor from a southern city named Mexrona. Alice gave him a kiss on his cheek for assurance as Eugene and Maximus' father laid a hand on each one of his shoulders. After 8 minutes, Gothel opened the door and asked him to step back inside. He came out with an A and an explanation saying that he was close to a B, but because of his comparison, he pulled it up and he didn't care what he didn't do right at this time as Gothel put the hat on him, it was tradition at Corona to let the final exam teacher put the hat on the student and he shook hands with Gothel and the censor and sprang into his family's arms and they all cheered, just as Eugene got ready for his turn and stepped inside to get ready.
He got renaissance paintings that was one of his best and he explained what he made ready out from his notes and after 12 minutes, he came out with a satisfied, yet afraid smile that didn't show any kind of emotion as the stood in the big hall that contained no furniture's and only a few paintings on the walls and 5 minutes later, Gothel called him in and he swung his arms over his head and sprang down on his knees as he scored A+ and a lot of praise from even Gothel and the censor as well.
After he got his gradation hat on from Gothel and shook hands just like Maximus, Alice and Pascal and Rapunzel turned back to their notes for one last time before the time was theirs. After some time, Rapunzel raised herself from her chair.
"I'm going for some air, I'll be back in 5 minutes" Pascal and Alice nodded their approve as they continued helping each other. To her surprise, she saw Eugene outside and he stood as he had been expecting her. She ran into his arms and kissed him happy, but Eugene seemed to notice the fright in her eyes, it was normal before an exam, but he was still up to be consulting. He had ended school with no less than 3 A-'s and a single A+, but it was way more than he had expected, but he knew she was the reason for his lust to do better even though he was a smart guy as well, Maximus had graduated with 2 B's and 2 A's, so he was waiting to give Alice a congratulations kiss when she hopefully had achieved her 3 A while she had one B. before the final exam.
"Congratulations Eugene, I hope I can as good as you, but I'm not sure" he held her cheeks in his hands and her made have eye contact with him.
"I know you'll do as great as I, if not better, you're the greatest student in the class or if not in the school, you've been giving 3 A++'s, I don't anyone have ever done that before, you can break the grade record of the school, but don't feel pressed, I got renaissance paintings that is one of the better ones for me, you know that from classes, but my best advice is to go in and do your best like with all other exams you've been through, then you're not going to fail" Rapunzel embraced him and went back for helping Pascal and Alice with the preparations.
It was finally time for Pascal to get up and finish his time at Corona University that had ended with a C and 3 B's, he had hoped inner to end his time with an A, but didn't feel comfortable as he was asked to step inside while his family had shown up in the meantime and Alice and Rapunzel had finished their preparations and waited with Pascal's family and Rapunzel's family as well Alice's as they all waited for their kids to go up. Maximus and Eugene also stood and waited for their room mates result and everyone seemed excited, but as Pascal walked out with his head bowed down, people started to get concerned, he didn't knew what awaited him behind the other side of the door. He was called in and was stunned to come out with A-. He bowed his head to get his graduation hat from Gothel and shook her hand and the censors and celebrated with his parents and the other as Alice was the next one to get in, she knew that Eugene's and Maximus had gotten their favourites, that left her and Rapunzel with two of the hardest, Stone age paintings and medieval paintings, she knew that Stone age paintings would be her worst and she luckily for her, got medieval paintings and she got out with an assurance that she'd end very well, she would be satisfied with anything from C to A, she knew how tough Gothel was and it seemed like the censor was the one who pulled up the grade average.
She got called back and also got an A- and was more than just satisfied as Gothel gave on her graduation hat as all the others, it was the final turn for Rapunzel and she knew she had gotten one of the toughest subjects, now she had to show what she really was made of, she had to prove to herself as much as all her beloved ones that she really meant it when she talked about becoming a professional artist after school.
She was not sure what to think about exam, she had an sceptical relationship to professor Gothel, but she had come to acknowledge Rapunzel's knowledge and talent over time and today was the time where she had to see how much she had moved from the time Gothel threw her out of class at first lesson in first semester.
She was called in again. She looked at Gothel and the censor who sat in front of her.
"Do you want your grade first or any comments Mrs Henderson?"
"Grade, please" Rapunzel said respectful to keep herself on Gothel's good side for the remaining time.
"Congratulation Rapunzel, A++, it was one of the best and most well said performances I've experienced in my more than 25 years as teacher at this university, you simply covered more than demanded and the compared as well more than expected and I can't take this from you young lady, good luck in the future" Rapunzel had tears of happiness in her eyes, she had not only managed to get A++ with Gothel, but breaking the record on the school for best grades through her time, she'd never expected that to happen. She immediately jumped into Eugene's arms and kissed him after she had been giving her graduation hat and shook hands with Gothel who actually smiled friendly towards her for the first time, she had really made something good to see Gothel like that, she might have been proud of her class, she might have changed a bit, but what didn't matter, she had graduated with the highest average in the history of Corona University and was to be rewarded by the VC for doing so. He had been waiting in front of the room after she had gotten inside.
Eugene couldn't have been any prouder of his girlfriends as he saw her in the arms of her mother and father who couldn't believe what their little girl had managed to do with herself and what options she had for a extraordinary future without any sorts of limits, she was her own limit now.
When she parted with her parents, the VC stepped in front of her and smiled proudly at his graduated student.
"Congratulation Mrs Henderson, I want to ask you if you'll say a few words before the big ending party? You're truly one to inspire people to reach for high things, it'd be an honour for the school to have our finest students have a few words and one has to do it and we'll like it to be our finest to do so, you're more suited for the job than anyone else" Rapunzel couldn't believe how everything seemed to be going her way at this particular moment, she looked back at her parents smiling and turned Eugene nodding to her. She turned back to the VC, smiling.
"I'd be honoured sir" she shook his hand and returned to her family and also her friends who had supported her through thick and thin and thinner than that. She then saw her niece running up to her and jumped into her arms, she was a small girl still for being 16 years old, but Eugene helped her support her and Rapunzel embraced both of them as they got off with each others families before getting ready for the big party and now Rapunzel had to think about something to say in front of the whole school, she knew she could do it, for the first time she felt confident about speaking in front of all these people, she had her back covered and thought of an excellent idea with some inspiration from the one who stood closest to her besides Alice, he was the one she truly loved and knew that loved her as deeply too.
She had everything planned before she went to the biggest party of her life, she knew now that nothing could go wrong, but she didn't knew how much better things still could get, she didn't thought they could, but she hoped that things would just stay this way. For now everything was perfect.
Only 2 chapters left to go and left with one big surprise coming up in chapter 30. See you soon, a promise from your Danish friend, MrAndersIversen.
