R: "What do you mean?"

I quickly walk down the stairs as I start almost yelling at her. She was now in the middle of the room with her chameleon, whose name I still didn't know. How could she not see the danger we could've been in?

Y: "I mean, you nearly revealed Flynn to show that you can go see those lanterns. Rapunzel, I told you when we first came here that we were here for safety. And you almost blew it!"

R: "Wait, you said lanterns? The floating lights are lanterns?"

Y: "Off topic, Rapunzel! You aren't understanding that you put Flynn and me in danger! You can't do that. Especially since your mother clearly doesn't like other people around you for some reason."

Rapunzel looked downcast for a moment as she realized what actual danger she had nearly put us in. She sighed before she looked up at me again.

R: "Okay, I'm so sorry. I promise I'll never do it again. Can you forgive me?"

Y: "Thank you for apologizing, and I will be holding you to that promise. And yes, I will forgive you."

She smiled at that, ran up to me, and hugged me. I was a little confused at first before I lightly hugged her back.

R: "But, wait, you said lanterns. The floating lights are lanterns?"

Y: "Yeah, it's a thing the king and queen do for the lost princess."

R: "I knew they weren't stars."

We both look at the closet with the chair and remember that Flynn is still in there, probably knocked out.

R: "I think we should take him out of the closet now since she's gone."

Y: "Let's do it."

As I go over to move the chair, she rushes over to me.

R: "Wait, I want to do it my way. Only because I still don't trust him."

Y: "Ok. Then what are you thinking?"
___________________________________

It took us some time, but once we got him out of the closet, Rapunzel wanted to tie him up in the chair and interrogate him since she still didn't trust him. She said she wanted to make sure I was telling the truth. I thought it was a little drastic, but I was thankful I wasn't in one myself. She tied him up with her hair, got her frying pan, and hid on a piece of wood closer to the ceiling, where it was dark. I decided to hide on the staircase where it was dark, but he could still see me better than her.

She starts pulling him into the spotlight made from the vents in the roof. The chameleon, who I learned was named Pascal, got up on his shoulder and started slapping him with his foot and tail. I was trying not to laugh, but the most I let out was a snicker to keep quiet. When the slapping failed, Pascal stuck his tongue in his ear. This made Flynn wake up with a scream, throwing Pascal off in shock. Flynn was looking around in confusion and panic, since he didn't know what was going on. He looked down and saw his hands and feet tied. He started following the path of super-long hair to where Rapunzel is.

F: "Is this...hair?"

R: "Struggling...Struggling is pointless."

She was speaking but barely coming out, still holding her frying pan up high since she didn't trust Flynn. I rolled my eyes at this but continued to watch to see how it played out.

F: "What? What did you do with Y/n?"

While he was speaking, Rapunzel hopped down and hid in a dark corner.

Y: "I'm over here; don't worry."

F: "Are you okay?"

Y: "Of course I'm fine."
