WARNING SINGING AHEAD AND ANOTHER LONG CHAPTER!!!

โ€œWhen your dad is the Captain of the royal guard, you collect... stuff.โ€ You hear from inside before you knock.

โ€œCome in.โ€ You open the door to Rapunzel fiddling with Cass' weapons while she is getting changed.

โ€œI have a feeling this is going to be fun. Pascal, I need you to stay here and make sure no one knows I'm gone.โ€

Pascal salutes.

โ€œLeo you should stay here too, plus its company for Pascal.โ€ You add and Leo nods.

You all walk to the dark room at the back of the castle.

Cass walks in front with the lantern to move the tapestry.

Rapunzel becomes excited, โ€œIs that a secret passage!!!!โ€

The Tapestry falls onto Cass and you can't help but giggle at her.

โ€œIt was until you announced it the whole castle... Rapunzel?โ€ Cass looks at you confused.

You shrug and run through the passage.

You and Cass eventually catch up to Rapunzel at the end of the passage.

โ€œThat was so fun!โ€ Rapunzel jumps out onto the street.

โ€œI'd like to take this opportunity to remind you that we're supposed to be sneaking out,โ€ Cass whispers, somewhat annoyed.

โ€œCass, I think you'll discover that I can be pretty sneaky when I need to.โ€ You and Cass pull Rapunzel around the corner.

โ€œNightly patrols, we can get past them if we time it right.โ€ You whisper to Rapunzel.

โ€œBut I thought you left Leo with Pascal how did you know?โ€ Rapunzel looks at you.

โ€œCass also has eyes in the sky.โ€ You explain.

Cass extends her arm out for Owl to fly to her.

โ€œThat is amazing. You have your own owl. What's his name?โ€ Rapunzel asks.

Cass looks at Raps with an emotionless expression, โ€œOwl.โ€ She lets owl back in the sky.

Max, Fiddela and Sebastian come from behind some crates.

Sebastian comes up to you and nuzzles your satchel. โ€œYou guys are smart, Huh.โ€

You take three apples out of your satchel and offer them one each.

โ€œWhen they found out we were Sneaking Raps out, they insisted on coming.โ€

Cass whispers, โ€œand between us, I think Max has got something for you know who...โ€ Cass looks at Fiddela.

โ€œHmm, it's our secret,โ€ Rapunzel smiles.

โ€œWe should get going guys...โ€ you look at them, and they nod.

You all run to the docks and get into the boat with all the horses in.

You're at the edge of the lake when Rapunzel sings, โ€œSeems like I've spent my whole life hoping,โ€ she gets out of the boat.

โ€œDreaming of things I've never tried...โ€ you go to Sebastian and help him out of the boat.

You're all walking through a little woodland. โ€œ Tangled in knots, just waiting for my time to shine, What if the doors began to open? What if the knots became untied? What if one day nothing stood in my way, And the world was mine?โ€

You hop onto Sebastian, โ€œWould it feel this fine?โ€

You follow Cass and Rapunzel since you have no clue where Raps is going.

โ€œ 'Cause I got the wind in my hair in a gleam in my eyes on an endless horizon.โ€

Rapunzel goes through the water while you go around with Sebastian.

โ€œ I got a smile on my face and I'm walking on air.โ€

Rapunzel gets out of the water and follows the fish down the stream, โ€œAnd everything life ought to be, It's all gonna happen to me out there...
And I'll find it, I swear... With the wind in my hair...โ€

You catch up with Cass and Rapunzel into the woods.

โ€œSo many roads I've yet to travel, So many friends I haven't met.โ€

A wolf comes out of the woodlands and starts growling, Cass gets her sword and is about to swing but you stop her because Rapunzel is giving it a belly rub.

โ€œSo many new adventures just around the bend...โ€

You explore the forest close to Cass and Rapunzel. Watching all the fireflies glow around the pond.

โ€œPlenty of mysteries to unravel, Tons of mistakes to not regret.โ€ Once Rapunzel goes to the pond they all shine more.

โ€œSo much to see, and to do, and to be, A whole life to spend, And it doesn't end...โ€

You race with Cass and Rapunzel to the wall, โ€œCause I got the wind in my hair And a song in my heart, And the fun's only starting!โ€

Sebastian helps you up on the wall.

โ€œ I got a skip in my step and I haven't a care, And everything life ought to be, Well, I know that it's waiting for me out there!โ€

You look down to check it's safe before chucking a rope down.

โ€œAnd I'll find it, I swear... With the wind in my hair!!!โ€ Rapunzel jumps down the rope.

You get to an old stone bridge the same one Varian took you passed.

โ€œJust remember, no one can ever know I took you outside the walls of Corona.โ€ Cass looks at you and Raps.

โ€œDon't worry! No one is going to find out.โ€ Rapunzel replies.

Raps tries to take Max to go over the bridge but he gets scared and freaks. โ€œWhoa! Whoa, Max. All right, this looks dangerous. Can you... can you stay here and watch Fiddela for me?โ€

You hop off Sebastian, โ€œyou stay here too bud. We don't want you hurt.โ€ You hug his head before walking over the bridge.

You go over the bridge and down a cliffside... the same one you and Varian went to.

โ€œSo, what did you want to show me?โ€ Rapunzel asks.

โ€œBelieve me, it's better if you see it for yourself,โ€ Cass replies you were becoming tense as the rocks reacted to you and Varian when you came here before.

โ€œThey're beautiful. What are they?โ€ Rapunzel seems to be drawn to them as well.

โ€œDon't know. They just kind of sprouted up here about a year ago.โ€ Cass gets her sword out.

โ€œAnd watch this... Uh, you might want to stand back for this one.โ€ You stay back with Rapunzel.

Cass goes to cut the rocks, but her sword shatters.

โ€œWow!โ€ You and Rapunzel stand there amazed.

โ€œThey're unbreakable. Want to know the weirdest part?โ€ Cass looks at the stone monument.

You and Rapunzel go over to it.

โ€œThis is where they found the flower they saved your mom...โ€ you say while drawn to the rocks again as they glow.

โ€œHow did you know?โ€ Cass says with a raised brow.

โ€œDoesn't everyone know the story?โ€ you ask confused.

โ€œOh... yeah, right. You got me again...โ€ she looks at you.

You turn back around to see Rapunzel nearly touching the rock.

โ€œNo Rapunzel don't!โ€ You try to knock her aside but instead you and Raps touch the rocks, creating an explosion.

You wake up and see a  white streak in your hair.

The monument is destroyed and Black rocks start spouting out of the ground.

"Wh- what happened WHY DO I HAVE A WHITE STREAK IN MY HAIR?!?!?" you freak out.

"Get to the horses as fast as you can and don't look back!!!" Cass gets hold of your wrist and pulls you to run.

Rocks are sprouting from everywhere you ran.

"Don't stop, keep running!!!" Cass shouts.

While you're running a stripe in your hair appears to be glowing white.

Your finally out of the forest to see Rapunzel's long blonde hair has returned.

"Uhh, guys?!" Rapunzel looks at all of her hair.

"Keep moving, Rapunzel. We need to get... Whoa! What? What happened?!" Cass looks astounded.

โ€œUh, I don't know, but we'll deal with it later!โ€ Rapunzel grabs all of her hair.

โ€œShe's not the only one with something new to their hair!โ€ The streak of white is as long as your normal hair length.

โ€œC'mon let's just go over the bridge!โ€ Cass shouts.

Max tries to get over the bridge but breaks a small part, causing the bridge to shake.

You all try to run, but Rapunzel falls backwards.

โ€œGuys my hair!โ€ Rapunzel's hair is stuck.

โ€œHang on!โ€ You run back.

You go to pull her hair but get a shock when you touch it.

โ€œAh! I can't touch her hair!โ€ You shout.

Cass comes to help, but the bridge is collapsing. Your hand is still hurting from touching her hair. You go to run and use your sword to free her hair but the bridge collapse.

Max runs and manages to free her hair and you all run to get off the bridge. But you, Cass and Rapunzel are stuck on one part of the bridge.

Max runs and jumps you and Rapunzel manage to grab hold of him and Cass gets Rapunzel's hair.

You land in a pile with Rapunzel and Max and look around for Cass.

"CASS!!" Rapunzel shouts.

Sebastian runs over to you to check your alright while Fedella saves Cass.

Cass stands up, โ€œSee? I told you I'd get you in and out without anyone knowing. Piece of cake."

Rapunzel looks angry, โ€œPiece of cake? Uh, did you see the 70 feet of โ€œmy father's going to kill me,โ€ growing from my head? And (__) she's got a random streak of white hair too!โ€

You look at the stripe in your hair, โ€œWoah... yeah were dead...โ€ you smile sheepishly.

โ€œOne problem at a time, please.โ€

You all hop onto your horses and gallop back to town.

โ€œWe've got a problem. Because of the coronation, they've doubled security at the gates today.โ€

โ€œAnd there's no other way in?โ€ You ask.

โ€œSure, if you want to walk in the front door in broad daylight,โ€ Cass replies.

Rapunzel looks around to see her bedroom.

โ€œHmm, maybe we don't need the front door.โ€ Raps throws her hair up to the balcony and you Cass and Rapunzel climb up.

โ€œWhat are we going to do?! Quick, grab the scissors!โ€ You pass some scissors to Cass.

You also take some scissors and try to cut your hair.

โ€œUhhh, guys, my hair won't cut...โ€ you say hesitantly.

Rapunzel freaks out as her hair won't cut either.

โ€œJust keep trying before someone comes in, (__) there's a bandana in my drawer, use that to cover that stripe of hair!โ€ Rapunzel shouts.

You run over to the mirror and get the bandana, but you stop when you see the white streak it was glowing slightly and you don't know why.

What is happening!?
