Tangled: Before Ever After Page #4

21st of may...

Had to take shelter

in a hidden cave

to escape the fury

of a violent storm.

12th of April...

Helped villagers rebuild

their war torn homes.

Mom, is this yours?

Did you actually do all this?

Rapunzel,

before I met your father,

I was so much like you.

I had no idea what I was

supposed to have in this world.

So I went out and

found my own way.

You're father is right

about one thing,

you will be queen someday,

but only you get to decide

what kind of queen you'll be.

And no one can tell you the

best way to make that decision.

But how can I if...

Wait...

Are you suggesting that I should...

Honey...

Find a way to fill those pages.

I only ask that you be safe,

be smart, and above all...

Be true to yourself.

Plus est en vous?

Plus est en vous.

It means,

"there is more in you."

This would have been

so much easier

with the other girls helping,

but they're such gossips,

half the kingdom would know

about your hair by now.

Are you sure you can't see it?

Are you sure

you can pull this off?

I have to, Cassandra.

Just be careful

you don't trip on this.

It's not the dress

I'm worried about.

How do people

walk in these things?

Whoa!

Just relax.

This is going to be fine.

I can't wait any longer.

This better work, pocket.

Don't you worry, boys.

Lady caine will not disappoint.

Okay.

Wow.

Whoa!

Whoa!

Oh, whoa!

How embarrassing for her.

This is going to take forever.

Hello? Can anyone help me?

Silly me, I must've taken

a wrong turn somewhere.

I'll be glad to help you, madam.

Oh, you're too kind!

Hey, madam poppycock?

The party's upstairs.

Meet lady caine.

You're a lot stronger

than you look.

I'm a lot of things.

Let the show begin.

I'm gonna need you to step back

into that cell, pronto.

That there is a nice suit.

The wearer of this crown

is a shining example

of the promise

that is corona,

an ambassador of goodwill

to those visiting from afar,

and an inspiration

to those fortunate enough

to live within her borders.

But above all, the chief

responsibility of the crown

is to keep the people

of corona safe

from dangers, near and far.

And their are many.

This mandate is not to be taken

- lightly.

- Go find Max.

There will come a day when

the walls that surround corona

are threatened by malfeasance.

A day...

- Attention, please!

- Lady caine?

Release my guests immediately.

What's the matter, Fred?

Am I ruining your

little girl's perfect day?

The duchess?

Oh honey, I am no duchess.

I don't understand.

Of course you wouldn't,

rapunzel.

But try to follow along.

This is all your fault.

What?

You see, after your

untimely disappearance,

your father locked up every

criminal in the kingdom,

including a simple petty thief.

My father...

I saw him thrown into a cage

and hauled off like some animal,

never to be seen again.

So, I thought I'd come back

and return the favor.

Load 'em up, boys.

Your turn, your majesty.

Oh come now,

you didn't think we'd leave our

prized pig in the pen, did you?

Dad?

Rapunzel, stay back.

- But...

- No. There's nothing you can do.

As your father and your king,

i command you to stay put.

Don't be a hero, pretty boy.

Sorry, dad...

I can't stay put.

Rapunzel!

That's my girl!

Let them go!

It's amazing what

you can hide under those wigs,

isn't it, Princess.

Come on, let's move out!

Ugh, now you're just

making me angry.

Good, because I'm

just getting started.

Get those people back here, now!

Rapunzel, your hair!

I know, we'll talk

about it later.

Please get somewhere safe

and take care of mom.

- Rapunzel!

- That's my cue...

Yeah!

Well, my last day

on Princess duty.

Might as well go down fighting.

Leave them alone.

So, you sure

you can handle yourself?

Oh, I'll manage.

Get that door open, now!

Aw... cute.

Rapunzel!

Thanks, blondie.

Haha! Now this feels good.

Stay down!

You have no idea

who you are dealing with.

Believe me, I've dealt

with much worse.

You think this is over?

Ha! I promise you,

I'll be back.

Oh... lady caine.

It's impolite to leave

in the middle of a party.

You think you'd know that.

Nice to see ya.

Thanks for coming!

Nice suit, buddy.

Happy coronation day folks.

So I'm trying

to understand this.

You snuck out last night

went beyond the walls of corona,

where you touched

a mysterious rock,

that somehow

caused your hair to return?

Yes.

And you acted alone?

Look, I know you're angry,

but can't you see? I'm okay!

I'm more than okay, i...

Rapunzel...

There's something

i need to tell you.

I love you.

The night you were taken,

a part of me died,

the best part of me.

For 18 long and agonizing years

i swore

that if somehow,

someway, by some miracle

the fates decided to show mercy

and return you to me,

I would never let anything

happen to you again.

And now that this has returned,

the very reason you were snatched

away from me in the first place,

I'm afraid I'm left

with no choice, sweetheart.

As of tonight,

I'm forced to exercise

my martial right as king

to forbid you from leaving the walls

of this kingdom without my consent.

- Father!

- And know this...

This is the last we will

speak of mystical rocks

or magic of any kind to anyone.

Is that understood?

There is so much more

to me than you think.

Come in.

I believe somebody

ordered room service?

Eugene, how did you know?

Ah, I had a feeling.

Look, I just wanted

to clear some stuff up.

I haven't had a chance

to apologize for

putting you on the spot

with that proposal.

Well looking back,

storming out of the room

probably wasn't

the best reaction.

So I'm sorry.

No, don't apologize.

Look I'll admit, I don't quite

understand why you said "no."

But I promise to do

everything I can until I do.

Thanks, Eugene.

In the mean time,

we'll stay right here

and take things slowly.

I miss this.

Hey, promise me one more thing.

Anything.

That you'll be patient with me.

Absolutely.

Good night, rapunzel.

Good night, Eugene.
