Before Ever After part 1

EugeneThis is the story of how I died ... and went to Heaven! Okay, so the Kingdom of Corona, to be exact, but, hey, let's not get hung up on semantics. Once upon a time, a single drop of sunlight fell from the heavens. You know what, I'm just gonna give you the rapid-fire shorthand here. The sun drop created a golden flower with healing powers. Creepy old mother Gothel sang a song to said flower to regain her youth. Yadi yadi yada. The queen got sick. Flower healed queen. Queen gave birth to Rapunzel who was born with the flower's healing powers and everything was all flying lanterns and cheering subjects. UNTIL Gothel stole the princess and kept her locked in a tower for 18 long years. Then, the princess was rescued by her sweet, little sister, Princess (Y/n) and a dashing, steely-eyed, suave, smoldering, devilishly charming rogue. Now, some people might've called him a thief, but I always prefer the term, 'misunderstood good guy'. You see, it wasn't always easy for young Eugene, raised as an orphan on the rough streets ...

RapunzelHey, Eugene, focus.

(Y/n) - Actually I was the first one to meet Rapunzel before you, Eugene. And we both knocked you out with our weapons. We even used Rapunzel's hair to tie you up, remember?

EugeneHuh? Oh! Right. Sorry. And don't mention that part (Y/n). So, the beautiful young maiden, that's you, the handsome rogue, that's me, and the sweet princess, that's (Y/n) made a deal. We followed some lanterns, (Y/n) and I saved you from Gothel. You saved us from ... death. And then, you got, arguably, the world's most overly-dramatic haircut. And then ...

(Y/n)And then, my long lost sister was reunited with me and her long-lost family.

Rapunzel- But that is where our new story began. Six months had passed. I was loving life inside the Kingdom of Corona. And my coronation to officially become princes had finally come.

EugeneWe all had a few surprises that day, didn't we, sunshine and staff?

Pascal and Brielle squeaks

Eugene - Laugh it up, frog and mouse.

Rapunzel - Now, I know what you're all thinking. Yes, Eugene and I did get married. But make no mistake, getting to the wedding day and our happily ever after would be the biggest adventure we would ever face.

Eugene - Oh, that's good.

(Y/n)- I know you guys are up for a real treat on our adventures.


Now instead of showing the painting of their past adventure, the scenes is changed to Rapunzel, (Y/n), and Eugene are riding Max and Fidella, running away from mysterious characters.

"Guys, they're gaining on us!" (Y/n) shouts as she held on to Rapunzel tightly from behind. Turns out their pursuers were actually the royal guards after them with horses. Suddenly, more began to appeared. "Ah, man! More are coming!" (Y/n) whines. "Good. It'll keep things interesting." Eugene smirked. They continued to get away from their pursuers.

"Man, these guys are persistent." Eugene said.

"So am we. We'll meet you at the wall." Rapunzel said as (Y/n) playfully stuck her tongue out at him. They were separated. "Sounds like a challenge." Eugene liked the challenge. "Ha! You think you can keep up with us?" (Y/n) questioned. "Oh, it's not me you have to worry about." Eugene told them. The princesses glanced behind and saw that a royal guard was behind them. (Y/n) groans in annoyance.

"They're your problem now." Eugene taunts. He glances behind him to see the Captain and another guard pursuing him. "Oh, great." He whines. They continued to get away from the royal guards. "Okay, Max, follow my lead..." Eugene told Max, but his eyes widen at the log. "Oh, log, log, log!" Eugene and the Captain jump over the log, but the guard that was with them fell off from his horse from the log. "Ooh, good thing the ground broke his fall."

Back to Rapunzel and (Y/n) being pursued by another guard. As they thought they could get away, (Y/n)'s eyes widen at the sight in the road. "Bunny crossing!" (Y/n) points. Rapunzel carefully stirred Fadela away from the bunnies. "Careful Fidella, watch out, watch out. Cute little bunnies." They were able to get across from the bunnies. As for the royal guard behind them, his house neighs and tries to stop. He falls out from his horse and flies into the bunnies Pascal catches a bunny's carrot with his tongue. He splits it with Brielle and they ate it.

Back with Eugene, he was still being pursued by the Captain. "You're not getting away this time!" The Captain yells. Thinking he was going to catch Eugene, suddenly, the princesses emerged from a rock and cut in. Fadela ran faster, away from the Captain. His horse is surprised and stops.

"Sorry." Rapunzel apologized and she turns back to the road. "We're almost there." They thought they were in the clear, but the Captain was right in their tail, again. "Oh, come on!" Eugene whines. The three three of them got an idea when they saw the river. They jumped across the river. Rapunzel and (Y/n) squealed in delight. Rapunzel, (Y/n), and Eugene made it safely while the Captain falls into the water. Eugene stops a moment and watches as the Captain get out of the water. "Looking good, Cap."

Once they were away from the boys, (Y/n) and Rapunzel were able to reach the wall. Once they made it to the wall, Fidella was able help them up the wall. The two princesses looked at the gorgeous view of the world. Rapunzel sigh happily. "Pascal, (Y/n), and Brielle, look at that view." (Y/n) smiles at the view. Their moment of peace was interrupted when they heard Eugene laughing from the distance. With Max's help, Eugene was able to get on top of the wall.

"Haha! Okay, okay, I know what you're thinking. Now, it may have seemed like you won, but you gotta take into account that my hair is actually longer than yours now, so we gotta factor in wind resistance." Eugene told Rapunzel. (Y/n) smirked at him. "Psh, yeah right."

Rapunzel turned back to the view. "Hmm. Wow. Have you ever seen anything so beautiful?" Eugene takes Rapunzel's hand and looks at her lovingly. "Yes. Yes, I have." Pascal hops onto (Y/n)'s shoulder as he and Brielle covered their eyes. (Y/n) smiled at them. Rapunzel and Eugene were about to kiss before being interrupted.

"The game's over, Your Highnesses. The welcoming ceremony is about to begin."The Captain told. "Well, I think we showed those guards who's boss. Now, what do you say we go make you an official princess?" Eugene questioned. "Oh, is that today?" Rapunzel playfully asked. "I guess we lost track of the time." (Y/n) joins in.

"Haha, very funny. Now come on, we better get you back to the castle. Ooh, maybe I can squeeze in a royal massage. Before my daily trim, of course." Eugene climbs down the wall. (Y/n) shook her head playfully. "Looks like someone is getting comfortable in the castle."

Pascal and Brielle squeals, as Rapunzel and (Y/n) glances back to the outside of the wall. "I know, guys. We'll get out there soon." (Y/n) linked her arm with her sister's. "And it will be soon."

Rapunzel and (Y/n) jumped from the top of the wall to Fidella's back. "Race you back to the castle." The two princesses yelled as they rode back to the castle. Eugene follows happily and the Captain sighs tiredly. As they rode back to the castle Rapunzel began to sing.

Rapunzel: This is life after happily ever after
And it's all just as sweet as the stories say
I feel wild, free, as light as can be
And ready to explore
With nothing at all standing in my way
True, there are certain customs I have to follow

Everywhere in the kingdom of Corona, the citizens were placing decorations for Rapunzel's coronation. A certain lady-in-waiting was waiting for the two sisters to return from their ride. She spotted them coming inside the Kingdom. Eugene helps the girls down from Fidella. Before Eugene and Rapunzel could kiss, Cassandra interrupted them by taking the princesses away. Eugene was disappointed and Max kissed him playfully on his cheek, which Eugene found disgusting. As the three girls were walking towards the castle, a few villagers would stop and curtsy to the princesses. "Curtsy." Cassandra told Rapunzel. Rapunzel curtsy as (Y/n) uses her cloak to curtsy.

Rapunzel: Several small obligations I can't avoid

A little village girl goes to the princesses as she offers her flowers. The sisters take a flower each and placed them in their hair. "Princesses, the time." Cassandra lead them away.

A few rules, too... well, more than a few
Commitments by the score
Aside from all that, though, I'm overjoyed
And sure there are corsets and buckles and bows
Plus all those names to recall

As they entered the castle, Old Lady Crowley stops them and points at the muddy prints from Rapuznel. Cassandra leads the sisters away. As Cassandra leads the way, the princesses were being prepared by three maids for the big day.

"Jane?" Rapunzel tries to remember a maids name.

"Its Ethel, sis." (Y/n) corrected.

"Right."

Still I can hardly complain, I suppose
This is happily ever after, after all

Cassandra saw that the princesses were getting anxious by the maids. She decided to go help them. "That's enough. I'll take it from here." The maids leave. "How you two holding up?" Cassandra asked.

Rapunzel laughs. "Busy. But busy is good."

"I'm glad you think so, Raps, 'cause this welcoming ceremony is just the beginning." Cassandra fixes Rapunzel's and (Y/n)'s appearance. "Tomorrow's the festival, followed by the royal banquet, and that's all before the actual coronation on Sunday." She looks at Rapunzel's bare feet and saw that (Y/n) wasn't in her proper, royal attire. "Oh, come on, really? Look, Rapunzel, I know this princess thing is new to you, but you've got to at least try to act the part. (Y/n), I know you've been a princess for all your life, but in front of those people you must act like it for now."

"Trust us, Cassandra, we know how important this is to our dad." Rapunzel said. "We're going to make sure everything will be perfect." (Y/n) adds.

In the meeting room with the Captain and the King. They were discussing about the tight security for Rapunzel's coronation.

"As you've requested, Your Majesty, we've doubled security on both the main gates and the south towers." The Captain placed a soldier figurine in position in the model of the castle. "Good. We have guests from all over the world. I want them to know that they are safe. Everything for my oldest girl's coronation weekend must be absolutely." King Frederic opens door to see his daughters. "Perfect." Rapunzel and (Y/n) smiled at their father. Hi, Dad."

Frederic: And now that at last you are here in my arms
I won't permit you to fall
I must protect you
From all the world's harms
We'll live happily ever after, after all

Frederic hugs his daughters as he sings to them. After the hug he stared at them, very proud of his little girls.

"Now, as princesses, you are not only representing yourselves and the family, but all of Corona." Frederic told his daughters."Don't worry, Dad. We won't let you down." (Y/n) ensured. "But while we're on the whole princess, coronation thingy, I mean, all these royal activities are great, but do you think (Y/n) and I might be able to catch a little downtime soon?" Rapunzel asked. "I know this is all new, but you'll adjust, Rapunzel. After all, your friend seems to be getting on just fine." Frederic said.

With Eugene, he was with the guys from the Snuggling Duckling as he was trying on fancy clothes. "Ooh-hoo-hoo, Helmut, my man, this hat ties the whole outfit together. Now, I know what you're all thinking. "Why is Eugene in such a good mood today?" "I mean, what gives?" Soon he was beginning to sing.

Eugene: Now that we're living splendorly
Our dreams fulfilled extendedly
Why leave things open-endedly
For Rapunzel and moi?
Tonight I'll hand this rose to her
Kneel down and then propose to her
And give this ring I chose to her

Eugene sings how he was going to make the coronation special for Rapunzel. He kneels down as he shows an engagement ring in a box. He plans to ask Rapunzel to marry him.

Life's gonna be like strawberry sherbet
Once she is Mrs. Eugene Fitzherbert
Okay, not great, but how about this?
Once she is Princess Eugene Fitzherbert

"And what better day to propose to a princess than at her coronation?" Eugene question to his friends. He was dancing his friends as he is excited to ask Rapunzel to be his wife.

Rapunzel and Eugene: This is life after happily ever after
And our story has finally reached its end
Settling down here
Year upon year
Contented and secure
With dozens of duties we'll have to tend
And now that we've gotten the dream that we chose
Now that we're in for the haul
Now our adventures can come to a close
Living happily ever after, after all

Rapunzel and Eugene continued to sing as they were singing about their story being put to in end. Eugene wanting to marry and Rapunzel becoming an official princess. (Y/n) noticed that her sister was feeling down. (Y/n) goes to place her hand on her shoulder. Rapunzel smiles at her little sister and held her hand in return.

Rapunzel: Now that I've gotten the dream that I chose
Why does my world feel so small?
If this is it
And it is, I suppose
Is this happily ever after, after all?

Rapunzel concludes her singing as she looks through the painting of her family. She goes to her mirror as she glazes into it. "Okay, no pressure. Just introducing myself to the most important people in the world." She turns to (Y/n). "Representing our mom, dad, and the entire kingdom. We got this." (Y/n) pulled Rapunzel into a hug. "I know you'll do great, Rapunzel. After all, you are my big sister." Rapunze smiles as she hugged her little sister. Though it may seem like a joyous occasion, but they didn't know that danger is close by.
