-------------------------------------------

"We're going to start this rehearsal with Kitty singing Mother Knows Best. Ryley, you will also be needed for it too." Artie says, telling the cast what to do.
Kitty and Ryley hi-five and get ready. The rest of the cast sit in the seats. The two girl get their scripts to help with their parts.

[Kitty:]
You want to go outside? Why, Rapunzel...!
Look at you, as fragile as a flower
Still a little sapling, just a sprout
You know why we stay up in this tower

[Ryley ~ Spoken:]
I know but...

[Kitty:]
That's right, to keep you safe and sound, dear
Guess I always knew this day was coming
Knew that soon you'd want to leave the nest
Soon, but not yet

[Ryley ~ Spoken:]
But --

[Kitty:]
Shh!
Trust me, pet
Mother knows best
Mother knows best
Listen to your mother
It's a scary world out there
Mother knows best
One way or another
Something will go wrong, I swear
Ruffians, thugs
Poison ivy, quicksand
Cannibals and snakes
The plague

[Ryley ~ Spoken:]
No!

[Kitty ~ Spoken:]
Yes!

[Ryley ~ Spoken:]
But --

[Kitty (Kitty ~ Spoken):]
Also large bugs
Men with pointy teeth, and
Stop, no more, you'll just upset me
Mother's right here
Mother will protect you
Darling, here's what I suggest
Skip the drama
Stay with mama
Mama knows best
Mother knows best
Take it from your mumsy
On your own, you won't survive
Sloppy, underdressed
Immature, clumsy
Please, they'll eat you up alive
Gullible, naÎve
Positively grubby
Ditzy and a bit, well, hmm vague
Plus, I believe
Gettin' kinda chubby
I'm just saying 'cause I wuv you
Mother understands
Mother's here to help you
All I have is one request
(Rapunzel?)

[Ryley ~ Spoken:]
Yes?

[Kitty ~ Spoken:]
Don't ever ask to leave this tower again.

[Ryley ~ Spoken:]
Yes, Mother.

[Kitty ~ Spoken:]
I love you very much, dear.

[Ryley ~ Spoken:]
I love you more.

[Kitty ~ Spoken (Kitty ~ Singing):]
I love you most.
(Don't forget it
You'll regret it
Mother knows best)

"Well done!" Blaine shouts once the song finishes and the group clap for them.
"That was awesome, Kitty." Ryley says and hugs Kitty.
"Thanks Ryley." Kitty says, hugging the shorter brunette back.
The two smile at each other before going off to further practice for the musical.

--------------------------------------

"Ugh, why do I have to wear a wig?" Ryley asks, frowning into the mirror backstage as Rachel tries to fit a long, long blonde wig on Ryley's head.
"Because clearly with your short brown hair, you aren't Rapunzel." Rachel says, adjusting the wig onto Ryley's head.
"Well, this is going to annoy me. A lot." Ryley says.
"Do you want Zach to be impressed with this or not?" Rachel asks, hiding a smile.
Ryley turns in her seat, looking at Rachel with wide eyes, "You weren't shitting me?"
"Language," Rachel says, "And no I was not kidding you. I was serious about asking him to come. According to his people, he is still finishing up some stuff for First Date but he'll try to come."
Ryley turns back around with a huge smile on her face, "I can't believe Zachary Freaking Levi could be coming to see me perform in Tangled."
"Let's just get this wig sorted out before you fangirl." Rachel says with a small laugh.

----------------------------------

It's finally the first of the two nights they're doing the musical. It's a Friday night, everyone's in costume and already to perform.
Ryder stands backstage, making sure his hair is smoothed down so it's like Flynn Rider's. He has a small bit of fake hair on his chair for Flynn's goatee. He's wearing the signature Flynn Rider outfit as he studies his reflection in the mirror, he tries mastering the smoulder and the signature smirk.
"Mastering the smoulder, I see." A voice says. Ryder looks at the side of the mirror and in the reflection, sees his beautiful girlfriend. She's wearing the purple/pink dress that Rapunzel wears for majority of the movie, her blonde wig is really long like Rapunzel's hair and she's barefoot just like Rapunzel was in the movie.
Ryder turns around and smiles at her.
"You're doing well." Ryley says, smiling.
"Thank you." Ryder says with a Flynn Rider smirk.
"This is going to be amazing." Ryley says, walking up to him with a huge smile.
"I know because we're the leads." Ryder says.
"And you make a handsome Flynn Rider." Ryley says and kisses her boyfriend.
"Places everybody!" Will shouts to cast as he walks around backstage.
"Let's get this started." Ryder says and kisses Ryley one more time before they go get ready.
