You're in your room preparing for tonight. For some reason, you look in your journal and see a drawing of Quirin and Varian.

All you can hear echoing in your mind is what Quirin said to you when he found out you were Starlight.

"Once a theif always a theif!"

"I'm sorry... but I'll make it up to you... if its the last thing I ever do." You whisper.

You hear a knock on the door, "Come in?"

You quickly pack the rest of your satchel.

"Hey, (__)." Rapunzel walks in.

"Oh, hey! Rapunzel! Hey, hello. What's up?" You smile sheepishly.

"Uh, nothing. I just thought I'd see what you were up to." She looks at you suspiciously.

"Nothing! I am up to nothing."

"Oh, okay. Well, what's Lance up to?" She sits on your bed.

"Lance? Oh, Lance! Nothing. I mean, I'm sure he's doing something. But he did seem tired. Didn't he seem tired? In fact, he's probably asleep already. So, in answer to your question about what is Lance up to, I will answer, Lance is up to sleeping. Why do you ask?"

"Huh, that's funny that's what Eugene said... But, You're gonna think this is funny. I think it's funny, but Cass is concerned that Lance Eugene and you are up to no good. Crazy, right?"

"That's crazy! You know me I hate my old life why would I do it again!?" You smile awkwardly.

"I know. It's just, obviously, I trust you (__), but... I would really hate it if she was right about Lance."

"I know..." you sigh and hug her.

She walks out.

Leo looks at you disappointed, "Oh c'mon Leo I don't need you disappointed in me too, besides Lance  said it was there to take!"

You grab your bag and sigh, "I have a bad feeling about this..."

You go over to the window and climb out to meet them.

You Lance and Eugene are in a tunnel full of spiders.

Lance notices one and shrieks.

"Are you still afraid of spiders?" Eugene asks.

"Yes, I have acute arachnophobia."

You cross your arms, "Yeah, real cute."

Lance opens up the map.

"The treasure's this way."

You all keep walking till you hit a dead end.

"Well, looks like the end of the line..." Eugene says.

"Nah. You're just getting rusty." Lance blows out the lantern and pulls out a small chandelier.

"I thought we told you to put that back!" You whisper shout.

Lance uses the chandelier to break the wall down, then gives it to Eugene.

"Viola!"

You walk into the room, "What the--? This isn't a cave. It's a basement. We broke into somebody's house! Lance! You lied to us!"

Lance gathers treasures, "Now, wait a minute! Lying is a strong word. Accurate, but strong. Besides, the only reason I lied to you both is because you wouldn't have agreed to do this otherwise. So, really, we're all to blame."

Eugene stares at him annoyed, "So, was any of your story true?"

Lance answers, "Well, there was an old inmate named Jesse, and I did call him..."

You interrupt him, "Yeah, Oldie, we remember."

"No! Mr. Kilpatrick. Oldie? That's just insensitive, Starlight."

"What?! You-"

Lance interrupts you, "Look. We can spend all day trying to figure out who's in the wrong here, but I don't see what the big deal is. Lying is what we grew up on. It's what we do."

"Did, Lance. We don't do that anymore." Eugene answers.

"Well, good for you two. Want a medal?" He pulls out some medals, "No, really, want one? There are like 25 of these things."

"Let's just get out of here, Arnwaldo." Eugene scowls.

"Hey! Don't call me Arnwaldo. Besides, don't you at least wanna know whose basement this is?"

"No! No we don't!" You whisper yell.

Lance answers anyway, "it's the Barron's."

Your eyes widen, "The-- The Baron? The Baron Baron?"

"Eugene said we would get him later!"

"That was eight years ago!" Eugene whisper yells again.

"Exactly. We've waited eight long years for revenge, and I'm not leavin' until I've settled the score."

Lance opens a cabinet to see huge spiders inside. He quickly shuts it.

"And now the score is settled. Let's get out of here."

You all run to the exit.

"Wait a minute..." weasel is at where you broke in.

"We've gotta find another way out!" You hide next to Eugene.

-
-
-
You're finally out of the Barron's getaway and you all run for your lives.

You're in the woods sat next to Eugene just as mad as him while Lance looks at his loot.

"Haha! Wow! There's more gold coins in here than I can count!"

"So there's more than seven," Eugene says coldly.

"What's wrong with you two?" Lance looks at you both.

"You duped us! You took advantage of our loyalty!" You cross your arms and turn away.

"I wouldn't say I took advantage, I borrowed it. Here, you can have it back."

Eugene has had enough, "Okay, you know what? We are done, friend. We don't want anything to do with you anymore." He turns around too.

"Wow. Money has really changed you two. Eugene and (__)."

You look in your journal to see a "family" portrait you drew with all of your closest friends together.

"Yeah, Arnwaldo. We have changed. We're different people, better   people." You turn over a page that's just you and Varian, "But money had nothin' to do with it..."

"Eugene! (__)!"

Eugene whimpers, then quickly grabs Lance’s loot and throws it in the brushes. A ring falls out.

"What are you guys doing?" Rapunzel looks at you all confused.

"Uh... What are we doing? What were we do-- What are-- What-- What is anyone doing, really? I mean, that's the question here, isn't it?" Eugene smiles awkwardly.

"Hey, ladies." Cass picks up the ring, "Looks like one of you ladies dropped your lady's ring. Your valuable... lady's ring. And I know it isn't (__) as she doesn't wear rings."

"Eugene,(__), where did that ring come from?" Rapunzel looks at you both worried.

You both smile awkwardly, "It came from..."

Lance interrupts, "Our orphanage. Eugene, (__) and I were bequeathed it from our favorite nanny. A sweet little old woman, whom we affectionately called "Oldie." Oldie was the closest thing we ever had to a mom. So that ring is very special to us."

You keep looking down as if you even dared to look into Cassandra's or Rapunzel's eyes you would've burst into tears right then.

"Aw!" Rapunzel smiles.

"When we left the orphanage, we hid it... inside a big oak tree in these woods, promising each other that the first one of us to find true love, would be able to give that special someone the ring. Princess, I believe that would be you."

Lance hands the ring over to Rapunzel.

"Eugene. This is beautiful." Rapunzel happily smiles.

You and Eugene walk next to each other conflicted and your stripe slightly glowing but you cover it.

"Oh my gosh, Eugene, Oldie must've been from Corona. See? It has our crest." Rapunzel shows Eugene the ring.

"Oh, that's-- that's quite a coincidence."

Eugene suddenly remembers the face of the owner of the ring, it is Arianna.

Eugene paces up and down while you sit on the edge of the bed,

"Okay, that ring we stole belonged to the queen. The same queen who took me and (__) into her home and family, and as soon as she sees Rapunzel wearing it, she will put two and two together, and be furious. Or heartbroken. I'm not sure how she'll react, she's a tough read sometimes. But, however she reacts, it won't be good! Now, on the other hand, if I ask Rapunzel to give me the ring back, she'll realize we lied to her earlier, and I know for a fact that she will be devastated. And no matter how this shakes down, Cassandra is going to have the satisfaction of being right!"

"That's quite a sticky wicket you got yourself into," Lance smirks.

"Don't worry Eugene, whatever happens, you're not alone I'm sticking through with you." You smile at him.

He smiles back, "Thanks (__), though it's not your fault we brought you along."

Suddenly Eugene eyes widen,  "We're gonna have to steal that ring back."

"I'm in." You smile.

"Steal from a princess? Let me know how that works out for you both."

"I'm sorry, what are you saying? You have to help me!" Eugene pleads.

"And defy the princess's trust? Why would I do that?"

You get your sword and put it near his throat, "Either help us, or I'll turn us all in."

You look around in your closet and see your old theif mask, the only difference between a normal mask and your old one is a  small white star stitched on underneath the eye whole.

Eugene walks in your room with his mask on.

"You ready?" Eugene asks.

"Yeah, I suppose. But honestly, I think the best option would be to tell them both the truth, but I'm with you anything you do." You hug him.

"Thanks (__), I know I can trust you, I'm having second feelings about you know who." Eugene looks to the door. "C'mon let's get this over and done with."

-
-
-
You're in the corridor with them both.

Lance lights the candle and burns himself. "Ow!"

"Shush!" You whisper.

You all sneak up to Rapunzel's room and go in to see sleeping Rapunzel wearing the ring.

You all sneak over to her.

Eugene gets the ring.

Lance puts down the candle making it drip down onto Pascal's tail.

Pascal screams making Rapunzel wake up.

"Run!" You shout.

Rapunzel throws a frying pan at you all, barely missing you.

"There's our exit!" Eugene says.

Cass jumps out with her sword.

You pull out sword your ready to attack when Lance stops you.

"I got this one." He smugly walks over to Cass.

"She'll destroy you. Actually, go ahead."

Cass knocks Lance out charging for Eugene but you stop her and fight back.

Eugene runs but Rapunzel whacks him with the frying pan showing his imprint on there.

Meanwhile, you and Cass are battling until she knocks you down with your mask flying off your face.

"(__)?" Cass stares at you shocked.

"Surprisee..." you smile sheepishly before looking down at the ground ashamed with the stripe glowing even brighter.

You, Lance and Eugene are sat on Rapunzel's bed while she paces up and down.

" I can't believe you guys would do this! (__), you told me you hated thieving yet you did it again!" Rapunzel looks at you all disappointed.

"Rapunzel, I... I'm sorry." Eugene looks down.

"Me too... I'm so sorry Princess Rapunzel." You cover your face with your hair and glance down.

"Princess? If I may--"

Eugene angrily interrupts Lance, "You know what? You've said enough, Lance. Don't listen to him."

"It's all my fault..." Lance looks down.

"But what do I know..." Eugene looks at him.

"Look, I lied to Eugene and (__). And to you, Princess. About everything." He sighs, "they were only tryin' to help a friend... or someone who used to be their friend. I guess. I'm... I'm truly sorry."

"I guess the right thing for me to do now is to come clean to your mom." Eugene sighs.

"I'm coming with you." You stand up and walk over to him.

"(__) you were just a kid back then, it wasn't your fault." Eugene looks at you.

"Eugene, I'm fourteen now, and I still helped then and I helped tonight, I'm coming with you."

Rapunzel looks at you both, "Eugene, (__), what you did was deceitful, and by every right, yes, you should come clean to my mom, but I can't let you do that."

"Wait. What. Why?" Eugene asks.

"Because I love you, Eugene, and (__) is like a little sister, I will forgive you both, but I can't be sure they will. So... Okay, here's what we're gonna do. We are going to sneak the ring back into my mom's room..."

Eugene interrupts, "Rapunzel, hey. Stop. Look, I... I love you, too, so much, and thank you, but I can't. Cheating, lying and deception, that may have been how Flynn Rider and Starlight striker would handle this, but I'm Eugene Fitzherbert now, and I have to do this the right way. That means accepting the consequences, no matter what they are."

Lance hugs you and Eugene, "It's how Oldie would've wanted it."

You've gone back to your room and sigh, "Ugh... why can't this stupid brain not do anything but disappoint people!"

Leo snuggles into you, "Thanks buddy..." you smile.

Rapunzel walks into your room, "Hey, could I borrow Leo? I need to send someone a letter."

"Oh yeah sure, is that alright Leo?" You pet his head.

He nods and flies over to Raps.

She turns around and whispers to him.

You can only make out "Can you send this to..."

Leo flies out with the letter.

"So... tonight was interesting, huh." She sits next to you on your bed.

"Well, I suppose interesting is one way to put it." You look at your star on your mask.

"I really am sorry Rapunzel." You hug her.

"I know you are... "She hugs you and runs her hand through your hair without touching the stripe.

You smile, "Hopefully your mom will forgive us all."

"I'm pretty sure she will, after all, she's just as much your mom as well as mine." She smiles back.

"Well, I'll let you get some rest. Oh! Also if another letter comes back can you tell Leo to come to my window?"

You nod, "I will, good night Raps."

"Night, (__)." She walks out the door.
