Monday Afternoon...
"I'm so glad there was a pizza place willing to deliver out here," Flynn said. "I've been wanting pizza forever."
Phoebus laughed. "We're only fifteen minutes from town."
"It's easy to forget that," Jasmine said as she threw away the pizza boxes. "It's so secluded and peaceful here."
Aladdin stood up. "I challenge all of you to an ATV race."
"I don't think so," Rapunzel said. "I'll be your flag girl."
"Yeah, I'm gonna sit this one out, too," Jasmine said.
"Me too," Esmeralda agreed.
Phoebus led Aladdin, Flynn, Mulan and Kayley to where the ATVs were stored. When Jasmine was done cleaning up she started to head outside to watch the race.
"I'll meet you out there," Esmeralda said.
"All right," Jasmine said. She started to walk towards the door, but when Esmeralda was out of eyesight, she followed her.
As Jasmine approached the bathroom door she could hear Esmeralda throwing up. Jasmine waited outside the door until Esmeralda came out. Esmeralda was startled at first to see Jasmine.
"What are you doing?" Jasmine asked.
"I-"
"Esmeralda, this is serious. You need help," Jasmine said.
"No, I don't." Esmeralda tried walking away, but Jasmine blocked her path.
"Esmeralda, you're my best friend and I care about you. I don't want to see you hurting yourself," Jasmine said.
"I'm fine."
Jasmine took both of Esmeralda's hands in hers. "Esmeralda, listen to me. If this doesn't stop, I'm going tell your parents."
Esmeralda pulled her hands away. "This isn't any of your business, Jasmine. Stay out of it."
Esmeralda pushed passed Jasmine and joined Rapunzel outside. Rapunzel was cheering and jumping up and down.
"Who's winning?" Esmeralda asked.
"Flynn! But Kayley is really close behind," Rapunzel said.
Jasmine came outside and joined them as the racers were approaching. Flynn and Kayley were neck and neck as they crossed the finish line, but Flynn won. Rapunzel ran over to Flynn and threw her arms around him.
"Baby, that was great!" Rapunzel said. She turned and faced Kayley. "That was pretty impressive, Kayley. Who said cheerleaders can't kick butt?"
Kayley shook her hair from her helmet. "I'm not a cheerleader. I joined cheerleading because my mom forced me to. But, it's not who I am."
Rapunzel frowned. "I guess it's not who I am anymore, either."
"What do you mean?" Kayley asked, slipping off her gloves.
"Helga kicked me off the squad."
Kayley laughed. "You're better off."
"I worked really hard at it," Rapunzel said. "I really wanted to be captain next year and continue cheerleading through college."
"What else do you wanna do?" Jasmine asked.
"What do you mean?"
"Well, what career do you wanna have?"
Rapunzel thought for a moment. "I don't know. I thought I'd just figure that out once I got into college."
Flynn wrapped his arm around Rapunzel. "You have plenty of time to figure that out. Right now, let's just enjoy our spring break."
Everyone cheered.
Flynn pulled Rapunzel close and whispered in her ear. "Come with me to the bedroom, there's something I wanna talk to you about."
Rapunzel nodded and Flynn led her back to their room. He closed the door behind them, then went over to his suitcase. He rummaged through one of the pockets, pulled something out and showed it to Rapunzel. The sight of the small box of condoms made Rapunzel uneasy. She sat down on the bed and bit her lip.
"So, this is really going to happen?" Rapunzel asked.
Flynn dropped the box back in his suitcase and joined Rapunzel on the bed. "Only if you want it to. I bought them just in case. I figured being here would be our best opportunity to make it romantic and special."
Rapunzel thought for a moment. "You brought them even though you didn't even know I was coming?"
Flynn shook his head. "I bought them at our last stop."
Rapunzel leaned over and kissed Flynn. "I really want to do this."
"Me too." Flynn was about to kiss Rapunzel again when their door opened.
"Oh! I'm sorry!" Esmeralda said.
"No, you're fine," Rapunzel assured her. "Nothing was happening."
Esmeralda raised an eyebrow. "Right. Anyway, Jasmine didn't know there was a lake here, so she didn't bring a bikini. We're all heading to the mall to do some shopping. Do you two wanna come with?"
Rapunzel jumped up. "Yes! I never pass up an opportunity to go shopping."
Everyone made their way outside and into the SUVs. The mall was pretty crowded and it took them a while to find parking spaces. They all headed into the main entrance and went straight for the directory. Everyone wanted to check out different stores. Jasmine wanted to look for a bikini at Victoria's Secret, and Aladdin volunteered to go with her to help her pick one out. Flynn was headed to the sporting goods store. Mulan and Kayley just wanted wander. Phoebus made a beeline to the food court. Rapunzel started to go to her favorite clothing store, but Esmeralda pulled her aside.
"You and Flynn are going to do it this week, aren't you?" Esmeralda asked.
Rapunzel looked around, then back at Esmeralda. "We want to."
Esmeralda smiled at her. "C'mon."
Esmeralda took Rapunzel's hand and led her to Frederick's of Hollywood. When they walked into the lingerie store, Rapunzel suddenly felt very self conscious.
"This is your first time, isn't it?" Esmeralda asked.
Rapunzel nodded.
"All right, then let's find you something simple, but sexy."
Esmeralda picked out some chemises, a babydoll and a couple corsets with garters. Rapunzel's eyes widened in horror when Esmeralda handed them all to her.
"Try these on," Esmeralda instructed.
"No, Esmeralda, I can't pull any of these off," Rapunzel protested as Esmeralda pushed her into the fitting room.
"Of course you can. And I want to see all of them," Esmeralda said.
Rapunzel hesitantly tried on each outfit and uncomfortably modeled it for Esmeralda. Esmeralda took note of the ones that Rapunzel seemed to have the most confidence in.
"Okay. Get the hot pink mesh and lace chemise and the purple and black corset," Esmeralda said.
"I don't know, Esmeralda. Are you sure?" Rapunzel asked.
"Absolutely." Esmeralda started steering Rapunzel to the check out before she could change her mind.
After they left the store they headed over to Hollister to get some new clothes. Rapunzel dropped her Frederick's bag in her Hollister bag so no one would see it. Esmeralda couldn't help but laugh at how shy Rapunzel was being. But, Esmeralda knew Rapunzel would thank her later.
