Lanterns

It had started getting dark and Rapunzel and Flynn went out on a boat for a special look at the lanterns. Once the lanterns were released, Rapunzel watched in awe as they rose higher in the sky. She then turned around to see Flynn, holding two lanterns. Then she offered his satchel back, but he gently put it down and they released the lanterns together.

But then he noticed something in the distance and he brought the boat to the other side and took the crown with him, so she and Pascal waited for him.

Meanwhile, the group of four watched the lanterns.

"Wow!" Sora exclaimed.

As they noticed it, Donald and Goofy looked at each other and nodded.

"Uh, we'll be over there if either of you need us," Goofy told them, getting up.

"Oh yeah. See you two later," Donald added, doing the same.

They walked away, making Sora and Jamie blush.

"Well, what else takes place here?" Sora wondered.

"Well, the song that they sing isn't in this game," Jamie answered.

He nodded then requested, "Do you think you could sing it for me?"

She smiled and nodded, saying, "Sure, but you might have to join in."

"I don't know the words," Sora pointed out.

Jamie smirked and pulled out a piece of paper, assuring, "I got you covered."

She then handed it to him as she sang.

[Jamie:]
"All those days watching from the windows
All those years outside looking in
All that time never even knowing
Just how blind I've been
Now I'm here blinking in the starlight
Now I'm here suddenly I see
Standing here it's all so clear
I'm where I'm meant to be

And at last I see the light
And it's like the fog has lifted
And at last I see the light
And it's like the sky is new
And it's warm and real and bright
And the world has somehow shifted
All at once everything looks different
Now that I see you"

"Wow. It's a shame it's not in here," Sora told her.

"Yeah. It's a good song. One of my favorites," Jamie said.

"I can see why," he said.

She smiled then replied, "Now it's your turn."

"Okay," he nodded, took a deep breath, and sang.

[Sora:]
"All those days chasing down a daydream
All those years living in a blur
All that time never truly seeing
Things, the way they were
Now she's here shining in the starlight
Now she's here suddenly I know
If she's here it's crystal clear
I'm where I'm meant to go"

Then Jamie joined him.

[Both:]
"And at last I see the light"
[Sora:]
"And it's like the fog has lifted"
[Both:]
"And at last I see the light"
[Jamie:]
"And it's like the sky is new"
[Both:]
"And it's warm and real and bright
And the world has somehow shifted
All at once everything is different
Now that I see you
Now that I see you"

They smiled as they got closer to each other. Then they looked back at the lanterns.

"It really is amazing," he said.

"Yeah. So much better seeing it in person than on a screen," she commented.

"You could say that you're like Rapunzel. Wanting to see more of the world and experiencing things you've dreamed of in person," Sora told her, making her smile and look at him.

"And you could say that you're like Flynn. Journeying to many destinations, seeking adventure, and willing to help someone accomplish what their heart wants," Jamie returned, making Sora smile.

"You are an amazing person, Jamie. I don't know if you've heard it enough, but you are," he said, placed his hand on hers, then continued, "Don't let anyone tell you any differently."

A single tear left her eye as she smiled. He gently wiped it away, letting his knuckles graze her cheek a little longer.

"You do the same 'cause you are also amazing," she returned.

They then began leaning in when a Nobody showed up, getting their attention.

"Could you guys have possibly picked a worse time?" Sora groaned.

"I don't think they appreciate the moment, Sora," Goofy replied as he and Donald joined them.

"Not one bit!" Donald remarked as they summoned their weapons.

"It's time for these wet blankets to go!" Jamie stated.

"Yeah!" Goofy and Donald agreed.

A/N The lanterns were beautiful. And I had to put the song in there somewhere! 😁
