Gothal enters carrying an umbrella she holds it over Varian's head to protect him from the rain.

Gothal: Varian, there you are 

Varian: Madam Gothal.....

Gothal: Oh, Varian, I finally heard back from the Wizard!

Varian: The Wizard?

Gothal: Yes, he wishes to meet you!

Varian: He asked for me?

Gothal: Yes! I know how devastated you were the other day for our poor Doctor Strongbow, but I can assure you my dear, as one door closes, another one opens.

Madam Gothal hands Varian a green envelop  

Varian: Madam, I don't know what to say! How can I ever thank you?

Varian hugs Madam Gothal 

Gothal: Oh, be careful, you mustn't get wet!

Gothal places the umbrella back over Varian's head

Gothal: Oh, I know!

Gothal waves her hands and the sun comes out 

Gothal: Didn't I tell you? weather is my specialty. Oz-speed, my dear! Make me proud 

Varian: I will, I'll try

Gothal leaves    

Varian: And there we'll finally be the wizard and I.....

Scene opens to a train station 

Conductor: All aboard 

Rapunzel: Remember, eye contact. And don't forget to tell him how wonderful he is, Wizards love that! And be yourself.....well..... Within reason

Pete wheels Willow to Varian

Willow: Varian, I'm so proud of you and I know father would be too. We're all proud, aren't we?

Varian: You'll be alright, won't you 

Rapunzel: She'll be fine! Peter will take care of her, right

Pete:.... Its Pete....  I.....I can't do this anymore

Pete leaves

Willow: Pete...

Rapunzel: Willow, maybe he's just not the right one..... for you 

Willow: No... it's me that's not right. Varian, just go, I'll be fine

Willow wheels herself away

Varian: Willow, wait!

Rapunzel: Let her go. She'll have to manage without you. We all will

Varian: Please, you'll barely even notice I'm gone. Besides, you have Cassandra. Where is she, anyway? Not that I expect her to say goodbye to me. We barely know each other.

Rapunzel: I don't know her either. She's distant, and moodified, and she's been thinking, which really worries me. I never knew how much he cared about that old goat 

Cassandra shows up

Rapunzel: Oh, there she is! Cassandra, over here!

Cassandra hands Varian a flower 

Cassandra: Varian, I'm happy for you

Rapunzel: Yes, we are both so happy

Cassandra: Uh, listen, I've been thinking

Varian: Yes, I've heard 

Cassandra: About that Raccoon cub and.... everything. I think about that day a lot 

Varian: Really? So do I

Rapunzel: Me too! Poor Doctor Strongbow. It makes me want to...... uh.... take a stand. So I've been thinking of..... uh..... changing my name.

Cassandra: Your name?

Rapunzel: Well, Yes! Since Doctor Strongbow had his own way of pronouncing my name, in solidarity and to express my outrage, I will henceforward be known as Rapunzel, but as simply, Rapunzel

Cassandra: Oh well, that's very admirable of you..... Rapunzel. (To Varian) Varian, good luck

Cassandra runs off

Rapunzel: There, see?

Varian: Rapunzel.......

Rapunzel: It's Rapunzel now, I don't even know what made me say it

Varian: It doesn't matter what your name is, everyone loves you!

Rapunzel: I don't care! I want her. I don't even think she's perfect anymore and I still want him. This must be what other people feel like. How do they bear it?

Varian and Rapunzel embrace one another
