Tangled: Before Ever After Page #2

will spend her day about town!

Oof!

Oh!

Ow! Ow!

Let me guess.

Big day on the town

wasn't all you hoped it'd be?

It was... interesting.

Uh huh, I bet.

I just wish my dad would let me

get out and see the real world.

You know, if you really wanted,

I could get you

in and out of here

before anyone even knew

that we were gone.

Uh, you mean sneak me out?

Exactly.

What you do when no one's

looking is your business.

Woman:
The royal banquet is ready

to receive the Princess now.

Cheer up, raps.

Hey, maybe your dad got someone

to chew your food for you.

I'm in charge

of the seating charts.

One of the perks of the job.

I don't understand why

you are so upset, sweetheart.

I said you could do

whatever you wanted.

That's exactly what you did.

Hmm, you didn't say anything

about a battalion tagging along.

Why would I need to?

You're royalty,

making a public appearance.

- But, dad...

Ladies and gentlemen,

Dukes and duchesses,

barons and baronesses,

Marquis and, you know,

the female version of those,

may I share a moment

of history with you.

Princess,

would you join me up here?

Tonight, we celebrate

our love for the Princess.

I, for one,

can think of no better way

to celebrate the love I have

for this woman than this.

Oh, Eugene!

Wait. Did you drop something?

No.

Rapunzel, from the moment

i first met you

and you knocked me out

with that frying pan,

I knew it was love.

You're my light,

you're my best friend

and I want to be

your partner in all things.

I can't wait to laugh

with you and share with you.

I see us raising

our children here,

and our children's children,

and celebrating banquets

of our own in this very hall

for many, many, many,

many years to come.

I want to ride our horses

out to the corona wall together

each and every morning

until we're both very,

very old and gray.

I love you, rapunzel,

and I want to spend the rest

of our lives here together.

Here? In this...

Castle forever?

I mean, unless you want to rent,

but I hardly see how

we're going to top this.

Eugene:
And I want to spend the

rest of my life with you here,

and it doesn't get any better

than this, this castle...

King Frederic:
Princesses need

to be protected at all times.

Rapunzel? Rapunzel?

I've... wow!

I love you, Eugene, but...

But I can't!

Just not, not now.

Um, I need some air.

Oh, I feel horrible

about Eugene.

I... I do love him,

and I wanna marry him someday...

But not like this!

Ugh! I need to get out

and clear my head

without a fleet

of guards tailing me.

Say no more.

Whoa!

Where's the war?

Well, when your dad is

captain of the guards,

you tend to collect stuff.

I 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.

The Princess's lady-in-waiting

made it expressly clear... huh?

Lady in wait...

What? You mean Cassandra?

First off, calling Cassandra

a "lady" anything,

is being incredibly generous.

Secondly, come on, Stan.

It's me, your buddy, Eugene.

Eugene the fiend.

You know rapunzel would want

to talk to me if you let me in.

Sorry, Eugene,

orders are orders.

All right. Just doing your job.

I respect that.

You sure there's

no way to let me in?

Rapunzel?

Rapunzel?

There you are, um...

Look, rapunzel, I am sorry.

I am sorry, I should never have

put you on the spot like that.

But I want you to know,

i meant it.

I want to marry you, i love you.

It's okay, you're still upset,

i understand.

You're not ready

to say it back yet.

Totally cool.

Oh man, that is a good pillow!

What is that, goose down?

Some kind of down?

Horse hair? Alpaca?

Sorry, look...

I know there's still a ton of

details we need to figure out...

And I may have

jumped the gun a little.

It's just that...

Growing up poor and alone...

I got used to having nothing.

But now with you,

I finally have something,

you know? We have something.

Something that is amazing.

And I guess tonight I was just

trying to keep it that way.

And I thought that's what

you wanted too,

but I guess I was wrong.

Oh come on, say something.

Ooh!

Fantastic. I just poured

my heart out to a frog.

Okay, where did she go?

Pascal, you do realize that if

the king finds out she's gone,

we're all going to be

in big trouble right?

I'm aware it's not

protocol, Pete,

I just happen to think it

highlights my mustache.

Hey, Stan, great look!

I mean it really

brings out the stache!

All right, you got us all here.

What's this plan of yours?

Oh, it's not my plan, boys.

It's lady caine's plan.

Did he say lady caine?

See, 18 years ago the Princess

was taken from corona,

and it was because of her

the king unfairly cracked down

on all those he

considered undesirable.

Us.

Yeah, so?

Gentleman,

lady caine is promising

not only to make you all rich,

but is offering you

the opportunity

to exact revenge on the king

and his precious

little Princess.

So, who's in?

Is that a secret passage?

It was before you announced it

to the whole castle.

Rapunzel?

Rapunzel?

Rapunzel, are you in there?

Is who in there, Eugene?

Huh? Uh, no one.

This is just part

of my nightly routine.

You know? Yeah, checking

the castle for intruders,

keeping an eye on rapunzel,

like I promised. Mm-hmm.

Hey, is anyone in there?

No? Good!

- See? The system works, really

well I think... -Eugene...

Where is rapunzel?

Uh, ah... in her room of course.

Good.

I'd like to speak with her.

You can't!

I mean, you can, obviously...

You can do whatever you want.

You're the king!

A very large,

intimidating, beardy,

yet clearly understanding, king.

It's just, she's still upset

and she said she

needed time alone.

I was only trying

to respect that.

But, like I said,

you are the king,

the very sweet

and non-hostile king.

Well, maybe she does need

some time to herself,

but when you see her please tell

her that I am looking for her.

Sir, about the whole

proposal earlier.

That didn't go quite

as I had hoped.

We'll discuss that later, son,

much later.

Right, we both have

bigger fish to fry.

That was so fun!

I'd like to take this

opportunity to remind you that

we're supposed to be

sneaking out.

Cass, I think

you'll discover that

I can be pretty

sneaky when I need to...

Nightly patrols.

We can get by them

if we time it right.

Wait, how did you know

they were coming?

I have eyes in the sky.

That is amazing.

You have your own owl.

What's his name?

Owl.

Max!

Yeah, when he heard

i was sneaking you out of here

he insisted he come along.

And between you and me,

I think he's got something

for you know who.

Hmm, it'll be our secret.

Oh honey,

stop beating yourself up.

Rapunzel just needs some space.

Nobody said dealing with

teenagers would be easy.

Teenager or not, Ariana,

she will be queen one day.

I have to prepare her for that.

King Frederic:

Guards, guards.

My child.

Rapunzel!

I just want to protect her.

Just remember,
