Rapunzel prances into the arena and waves to everyone. “Cassandra, (____)! Oh this is going to be so much fun!” She hugs you both.

“Good news, Cassandra! (____) told me this competition is for everyone, now we can all compete together! Eeek!” Rapunzel squeals happily.

Cassandra forces a smile and her eyes look to you, restraining to speak joyfully, “That's SO great!”

You snicker and put her hands on your hips as the announcer speaks, “Ladies and gentlemen! It's time for the first event. The Gauntlet!”

There were giant hammers swinging back and forth. Skull Kicker was first and he ran without hesitation, only to get slammed up high.

“Look, are you sure you want-”

Before Cassandra could finish, you walked toward the Gauntlet. “Lady (____) taking a bold move!” They announced.

Wreck stopped in front of you, but you just went around him and step up onto the platform. You took a deep breath and walked all the way across. You feel your hair blow from the wind of the hammers.

Your feet step down on the other side. Cassandra stares with her mouth open and Rapunzel looks surprised. There were loud applauders and a few kids yelled your name.

“Next up for the Gauntlet, Cassandra!”

Wreck had stopped Cassandra too and said something to her before she flipped through the Gauntlet.

“You just got lucky.” She pokes your shoulder.

You roll your eyes then you two blink at Rapunzel who just danced through. Her and Cass began to talk to each other while you watch Wreck walk through as the hammers just smash to pieces.

Now the three of you are staring with angry expressions at the next course.

On the scoreboard, they moved Cassandra to second place then put your name in fourth place, and Rapunzel is in sixth.

“Challengers! Prepare for the next event!”

It was Archery, but the rules didn't say what the arrows had to be made of. Cassandra went first and hitting some of the targets on top, all a bulls-eye.

She smirks then you pull out arrows made of peanut brittle. “Thanks, Uncle Monty.” You shoot in the bullseye, a centimeter next to Cassandra’s.

Rapunzel hits a target with a guitar and an arrow. She grins and seems self satisfied. The three of you jump when Wreck shoots a giant arrow and breaks the top targets.

Next was the High Jump.

“That's high…..” You whisper and notice you don't have anything to heave you over. This was jumping high without anything to help you.

“Ah, someone's getting scared.” Cass chuckles and runs before easily jumping high over the pole.

Rapunzel goes and gracefully jumps over like a ballet dancer. “How does anyone jump high like that?”

Hook Foot jumps, but his hook gets caught on the pole. You gasp in worry and you were about to help him, but Wreck stomps by you then jumps high before crushing the ground on the other side.

Hook Foot fell and you go over, “Hook Foot, are you okay?” He groans, but nods and smiles at you. Wreck laughs and you glare, clenching your fists.
