WARNING LONG CHAPTER AHEAD AS WELL AS SINGING.

Another month has passed since you and Varian have been able to see each other at the castle as well as anywhere in Corona. Life has been perfect! Almost too perfect.

Varian has a love-hate relationship with the raccoon Ruddiger. One minute they're the cutest pals then the next Varian is chasing him out of the house.

Just like always, you spend most of your time at The snuggly duckling.
You're respected there you've realised inside of those thugs are giant teddy bears.

You and Cass class each other as sisters though you're not sure if she completely trusts you. But isn't that what sisters are like?

Now Flynn Rider posters are creeping their way into Corona. This makes you miss him even more than you ever did before if only there was a way to see him again.

"(__)...."

"(__)."

"(__)!!!"

"Yes!?" You look up to see Cassandra sewing a purple dress.

"Seriously kid, you gotta get your head out of that journal." She looks at you drawing Varian.

"Who is that kid? You draw him all the time." She raises a brow

"Oh, its Varian. He's my best friend and he's incredibly smart, he can make anything come to reality if he sets his mind to it!"

"Kinda like a wizard? You describe him as being so magical. " Cass asks.

"I suppose so... though he doesn't think magic is real everything has a scientific explanation to him." You sigh dreamily at the picture you drew of him.

"He sounds dangerous..." Cass says while sewing the sleeve of the dress.

"Why would he be dangerous?! Yeah, maybe the chemicals he works with are but he's just a teen like me!" At this point, you snap.

"Imagine if someone spread rumours like that about you?! Like the only reason you have this job is to attack the royals and take over the Kingdom." Cass looks at you shocked.

"Calm down (__), I would never do that. Besides, I worked extremely hard to get where I am I wouldn't do anything so stupid as that."

"But if someone doesn't like you they would happily spread that rumour around the Kingdom." You raise a brow and smirk.

Cass gets a bit irritated, "Okay I walked right into that one... Who knew you were so intimidating. "

"Sorry Cass, I'm just sick of people taking him as a so call dangerous person he's the most charming and funny person to exist!"

Cass smiles at you.

"RIDERRRRRR!" You here from the corridor.

You and Cass run to see what's happening. "Dad what's going on?!" Cass asks the Captain.

"Rider has stolen the princess' crown!" Captain was about to run out to get max when Cass calls.

"Dad I've been training for this let me help!"

"Captain whatever you do just please dont hurt him. If it wasn't for Flynn I wouldn't be here right now!" You pleaded.

"Sorry lady (__) but Rider is wanted dead or alive... and for you Cassandra you need to stay here and do your duties!"

"But-"

"The answer is NO Cassandra!" The Captain runs off to get Max.

"Cass-"

"Don't..." She walks off to her room.

After a few minutes of just standing in the long corridor not knowing what to do or think, after all the person who's like a big brother to you could be killed, Cass is upset and just wants to make his dad proud... just like Varian...

You walk to Cass' door and were about to knock when you hear,
"Look at me, I'll never pass for a perfect guard or a perfect daughter..." the song sounds familiar to you.

You decide you should leave Cass alone for a while and go to the snuggly duckling.

You open the door to the thug bar.
"FREEDOM!!" You shout!

They all cheer when they see you.

"Care for some wiiiiiiiine (___)?" Shorty stumbles over to you and gives you a mug of the wine and some reason he's wearing a cupid outfit.

"Thanks?" You giggle.

Hook hand glances over, "Only one now shorty, we can't have our little lady drunk now can we?"

You sit on the counter and sip some of the wine while attila rough houses with Vlad.

After half an hour later, the door burst open, "Garcon! You finest table please!"

You gasp and stare in shock. It was from Flynn!

"You smell that? Take a deep breath through the nose. Really let that seep in."

The blonde-haired lady looks terrified, I mean you dont blame her these thugs can look intimidating sometimes. But why did Flynn bring her here?

"Flynn?" You say while walking over.

"Uhm I dont know you, who are you exactly? And why is there a kid in here anyway?!"

You cross your arms and raise a brow, "What's a criminal on the run doing with a lady in a thug pub?"

Before Flynn could answer Vlad shuts the door and says, "Is this you?"

Flynn moves Vlad's finger away from the nose. "Aw. Now they're just being mean."

You stare at Flynn he's changed from when you were so close to each other.

You walk over to him, "So you don't remember any kid at all? Not even the one you helped escape from the Barron? To get to Corona bay?" You smile when his face stares at you. Though you cringe at the fact you thought Corona was called Corona bay.

"(__)?" You nod but before he can say anything else he gets dragged into all the thugs pulling him.

You shout, "Guys please!" You can"t hear much since all shouting about who gets the reward money.

You hear the blonde-haired lady shouting to get them to put him down. That's until she uses her hair to reach for a branch to hit hook hand on the head.

"Put him down!!!!"

Hook hand turns to her, "Woah, okay I don't know where I am, and I need him to take me to see the lanterns because I've been dreaming about them my whole life! Find your humanity! Have you ever had a dream?!"

You stand near the wall in shock when Vlad picks Flynn up by the Collar and hooks him to a cloak peg next to you. Flynn takes this opportunity to talk to you,"Where have you been all this time?! Not that I was worried or missing you or anything..." He coughs fakely.

You smile, "I missed you too, Flynn..."
He smiles back before you turn your head.

You see all the thugs singing and dancing. "Why are they all singing?!" Flynn is shocked.

"I don't know maybe your friend is someone special..." You laugh and join in singing with everyone.

"He's got a dream!" They all sing their dreams and you enjoy seeing everyone so happy apart from one person. Flynn.

"Tor would like to quit and be a florist
Gunther does interior design
Ulf is into mime, Attila's cupcakes are sublime
Bruiser knits, Killer sews, Fang does little puppet shows
And Vladimir collects ceramic unicorns" you see hook hand walk over to Flynn.

"What about you..." he stares at him.

"I'm sorry, me? Why not (__)?"

"What's your dream?" Big nose unhooks him from the Cloak hanger.

"No, no, no, Sorry boys, I Don't sing." Loads of weapons fly near Flynn.

"I have dreams, like you, no, really
Just much less touchy-feely." Flynn awkwardly dances on the counter.
"They mainly happen somewhere warm and sunny." He takes Vlad's Unicorn which makes him angry.
"On an island that I own, tanned and rested and alone
Surrounded by enormous piles of money."

Suddenly Flynn gets thrown in the air.

That's when the blonde lady starts to sing. "I've got a dream!"

You and all the thugs, "She's got a dream!"

"I just wanna see the lanterns gleam!" The thugs cheer.

"And with every passing hour," you see a strange woman staring at the long-haired girl.

"I'm so glad I left my tower! Like all you folks I've got a dream!"

At this point, you've zoned out near the counter, who was that woman? That's until Greno slams the door open. "I've found the guards!"

Flynn grabs you and the lady.

"WHERES RIDER? WHERE IS HE? I KNOW HE'S IN HERE SOMEWHERE!"

You, Flynn and the lady are are under the counter.

You and Flynn look up to see the two people a despised yet terrified you the most. The Stabbingtons.

Hook hand takes you, Flynn and the lady to a secret passage.

"Go, live your dream."

"I will..." you hear Flynn say.

"Your dream sucks I was talking to her." You laugh slightly at hook hand and go down the passage with them.

You're now in a tunnel with them, "Well I've got to say didn't know you had that in you back there. That was pretty impressive."

"I know!" She screams excitedly. She calms herself. "I know." Flynn smiles at her.

The lady looks over to you, "so what's your name sweetie?"

"(___), you are?" You smile.

"Oh! My name is Rapunzel." She smiles back.

"So Flynn, where you from?" She asks trying to make conversation.

"Wooaaaa! Sorry blondie, I don't do back-story, though I am interested in yours." You see a chameleon on Rapunzel's shoulder he smiles at you before turning around again.

"So I know not to mention the hair."

"Nope," Rapunzel replies.

"Or the Mother,"

"Ah, ah."

At this point, you zone out again just walking and kicking stones when you see them shaking.

"Rider!" You hear the Captain.

Flynn picks you up and Chucks you over his shoulder. "RUN!"

"Uh, bit hard there Flynn." You say as he runs in the tunnels.

You, Flynn and Rapunzel end up at the edge of a cliff. Flynn puts you down.

The stabbingtons appear down on the ground.

"Who's that?" Rapunzel asks.

"Uhhh they dont like me or (___)." Flynn gets nervous.

The castle guards appear.

"Who's that?"

"They don't like me either."

Max appears.

"Who's that?!"

"Let's just assume everyone here doesn't like me!" Flynn gets even more nervous.

"Lady (___)?! A kidnapper as well Rider!" The Captain looks at Flynn with a smirk.

Rapunzel grabs you and swings to a nearby rock, "Here!" She throws Flynn a frying pan.

Flynn knocks out the Guards with the frying pan, "Oh mama I've got to get me one of these!"

Flynn battles with Max while you're distracted by the stabbingtons. You slide down the rock to get to them.

"Oooh look who it is brother! It's the little lady who's managed to become a wannabe princess!" Sideburns mocks.

You hit him on the head with the side of your sword causing him to fall to the ground. "Oh, believe me, I'm no princess."

Patchy runs behind you with his sword out. You start battling with him. "You've made a huge mistake Starlight striker!" He picks you up and throws you to the ground hard.
You land on your leg and yelp.

"(__)!! Catch!" Rapunzel throws you the frying pan.

"Cheers blondie!" You put your sword back in your belt,stand up and start battling again while Rapunzel and Flynn work together to get away from Max and the guards.

Your leg was hurting badly but you ignored it.

"By the way... the names (___)." You knock him out.

"Nice kid!" You hear from Flynn while Rapunzel grabs your wrist to run.
