"Flynn?" Cece asked as she closed her door, she was expecting Lex or maybe Eian as the two were both leaving with her, or her teen younger brother.

"I'm coming," he said in a tone that suggested he wasn't going to take no for an answer. He looked at the packed bags on Cece's bed and raised an eyebrow, how soon was she going to leave?

"What about Evan?" She asked if the two had just started dating and though she shipped Ev and Flynn, she wasn't sure how a long relationship would work between a fifteen and a fourteen-year-old.

"He's coming too." Flynn frowned as he looked at Cece, something happened, he could tell. He already knew that she was pretty badly shaken up with the whole sundrop situation but when Eian came into the picture with his moondrop abilities, Cece got worse. "You're not the only one with stuff to sort out. I need to figure out if I want to be the king of the Dark Kingdom... well I know I don't want to be a king but I don't want Wyn, Ana or Cecil to be forced to be because I know they wouldn't want that..."

Cece's head pricks up, "Oh, Flynn... Why didn't you tell me that?"

"It didn't seem that important in the list of things you already need to deal with." Cece winced, that's why she needs to go, Cece from a few months ago wouldn't have been such a horrible sister, Cece needed to figure if who she thought she was is this in her, she needs to figure that out if that was even the real her or what the role future queen and the hate of the kingdom made her be. She needs to figure out who she is beyond being the sundrop, bastard royal and future queen.

"Flynn-" she started but stopped herself, she didn't even know what she was going to say, "Okay. The more the merrier."

"Ahhh!" Flynn jumped, Rapunzel held her hands up, verbally apologising for scaring her eldest son.

"Sorry! Sorry. I'm sorry."

Flynn calmed his breath before shaking his head, "It's okay, you just scared me."

"Mum, what are you doing here?" Cece wondered if maybe her mum was here to say goodbye but Cece wasn't leaving until tomorrow so she figured that probably wasn't the reason for this visit.

She walked over to Cece's bed and sat down, "I have something to give up, the same thing my mum gave me," it was only then Cece realised the box in Rapunzel's hands. "I would have gotten you one if I knew you were also leaving..."

Cece sat down next to Rapunzel, Eugene looked around, wondering whether he should leave or stick around for this.

She handed the box to Cece as she placed a hand on Cece's hand covered glove, Flynn took this as his time to leave. "When I first came back home, my mum gave me this," Cece opened the box and saw a brown leather covered diary. "You are going to be queen someday and when you're ready you will have kids of your own. While travelling the seven kingdoms you will have a lot of stories and my writing them down you have a place to remember all of them-"

"Like how Flynn and Wyn read your journals?"

Rapunzel smiled, "Exactly."

Cece opened the book and flipped through the pages, the tips of her gloves sliding over the ruff pages, she stopped flipping on the first page as she read the cursive writing, "Plus Est En Vous?"

"It means more in you."

Cece smiled, even though her mum didn't know it, that was exactly what she needed to hear, or maybe her mum did know how she was feeling. She had gone through the exact same thing as Cece is now, well other than Corona hating her, Corona has always loved her mother, maybe that's why they hate Cece, Flynn and Ana so much, they weren't enough...

Rapunzel stood up as she put her hands together, knowing that Cece most likely isn't going to like what she had to say next. "Your father and I chose five people for you to bring with you."

"What! That means nine people will be coming, when you went on your trip you only brought five people with you, Auntie Cassie, dad, Hookfoot, Mr Shorty and Uncle Lance."

Now that Rapunzel thought about it, bringing a drunk on her drip wasn't really the best idea, well they never actually knew if he was a drunk but he was a drunk. "On my trip, things didn't really go the way planned..." She thought of the House of Yesterday's Tomorrow, The Eternal Tower, The Forest of No Return, The shipwreck, Cassandra's betrayal and so many more things that went wrong with Rapunzel's travels.

Cece took a deep breath, she didn't want to fight with her mum, she didn't want to get angry at her again, besides her and her dad are just looking out for her and Flynn. She should be grateful, even though she is a full-grown adult who can take care of herself. "Okay. Thank you. Who?"

"People I know that you will get along with, they will help look out for you."
