“Oh, I feel horrible about Eugene.” Rapunzel says, pacing around in her room and you're sitting on a stool at the edge of her bed with Pascal still on your shoulder. “Rapunzel, I know you do love Eugene and I do know you want to marry him someday, just not like this.”

She whines in frustration, “I know…..” She holds her head then leans over, sighing, “....I need to get out and clear my head without a fleet of guards tailing me.”

You stood and grin, “Say no more, I need you to stay here and Cass should be coming for you right below your balcony.”

Heading out into the halls, you spot Stan and Pete. “Stan, Pete!” They turn to you and smile, walking up.

“(____)! Is there something you need?” Pete asks.

“Yes, it's something important involving the Princess. Lady Cassandra and I want you to make sure no one goes into the Princess’s room. You know to have time for herself.”

They smile and salute, heading to Rapunzel's room. You smile and make your way to Cassandra's room. When you step into Cass’ room, you see Cass showing Rapunzel her wardrobe of weapons.

Cass changes and you hear something heavy drop. You turn to see Rapunzel pick up a ball flail before throwing it back in and picking up a cloak.

“I have a feeling this gonna be fun.” Rapunzel says, putting on the cloak once Cass is done getting ready.

You laughs lightly, “Trust me. It is fun, especially when you're sneaking out with Cass.”

Cass nods, smirking and Rapunzel seems more excited. “Oooo! Okay, Pascal. I need you to stay here and make sure no one knows I'm gone.” Pascal saults happily.

Cassandra leads the way to a storage room and you notice the lantern she had was lighting everything in a lime colored light. You walk ahead and pull back a drape when Cass pushes away a crate.

“IS THAT A SECRET PASSAGE!?” Rapunzel says gasping loudly and running up to it. She pushes off the drape onto Cass.

“It was-”

Before Cass could say anything to more, Rapunzel pulled you in and you yelp slightly. So you end up leading her half way and Cass finally caught up. You're in the basement of one of the town person's home, luckily they were asleep.

Rapunzel pushes open the small window and crawls out. “That was so FUN!” Her voice squeaks and you shush her.

“Rapunzel, we're supposed to be sneaking out, so that means try to be quiet.” You say.

She chuckles sheepishly, “Sorry, but come on. You two should know I can be pretty sneaky when I need to.”

Your eyes widen when Cass pulls you and Rapunzel behind a wall. There were guards walking by and you smile, realizing Owl gave Cass a signal. You decide to get a boat ready when Owl flies onto her arm.

A soft neigh scares you and you fall into the boat. “Max!” You whisper-yell and he laughs silently. You notice Cassandra's horse, Fidella, is here too.

The boat tips back a bit from the weight of the horses and you cling to Rapunzel once Cass shoots a rope across, pulling it to move the boat.

Soon you're heading down the small river and Rapunzel begins to sing, "Seems like I've spent my whole life hoping. Dreaming of things I've never tried." The five of you get off and Rapunzel hugs Max. "Tangled in knots just waiting for my time to shine."
