It was the day Rapunzel was coming home from The Dark Kingdom they made it home after 3 days and were eager to see her father and mother again once they park the caravan Rapunzel jumps out running into the castle so excited and runs to the throne room to see a big party set up for her. Everyone in the throne room shout "SURPRISE!!" Rapunzel and her friends were all so happy as she ran over hugging her parents tight saying "Ohh I missed you all so much! How are you all doing?" King Frederic and Queen Arianna tell her they were fine and so was everyone else. 2 hours go by of partying and talking when they suddenly heard Nigel outside the throne room door shouting "NO NO NO! He cannot be back in Corona again he was so post to have stayed on the island! You idiots aren't getting paid get out!" King Frederic glaring towards the door as more shouting insured until the doors opened with five guards and The Captain of the guards walked into the throne room with two men in black hooded cloaks and Nigel in cuffs as they brought them up to King Frederic and Queen Arianna placing them on the floor before The Captain of the guards explains "I'm sorry your Majesties we were keeping a eye on these three for the past month discovering that Nigel had carried out a act of treason, kidnapping, and selling of the young man Varian to a coachman 3 weeks ago sir." Rapunzel gasps in horror as King Frederic enraged screamed "HE DID WHAT?!" Nigel pleads "PLEASE your Majesties you must understand these men threatened me to do it!" The Captain of the guards exclaimed "Liar we've seen you hanging out and talking about giving Varian to a Coachman 3 weeks ago laughing and drinking while celebrating three times each of those 3 weeks!" King Frederic gritted his teeth as his face turned red as glared daggers down at the three men causing them to cower before him as King Frederic calmed down as he told The Captain of the guards "Take these beasts to the dungeons and put them in separate cells far away from each other chain them each to the floor! Get them out of my sight and fire Nigel!? We pull them all on trial in a month after we gather evidence!? Stan and Pete take me down to Varian's prison cell immediately!?" Rapunzel with a brave face on her ran up to her father saying "We're coming too PLEASE dad!" King Frederic nodded saying "You and your friends might as well come if we don't find Varian in his cell we'll go search through out Corona within town let's go!" Queen Arianna came to saying she wanted to help too. Everyone ran into the castle dungeons led by Stan who stopped in front of Varian's cell to find it completely empty. It was true Varian was gone even Rudiger was missing so they all ran outside going in separate groups searching for Varian searching every inch of the town of Corona's town. Varian was nowhere in sight Rapunzel and her friends were was walking near the stables when they heard quiet crying coming from within the stables. Rapunzel and her friends walked slowly getting closer to the sound of crying was coming from the last stable. Cassandra with her sword out peeked around the corner of the stable seeing a human shaped form huddled in the corner facing the wall of the stable crying as the others went to see for themselves what or who it could be. Suddenly one of the floor boards creaked causing a long potrution to swiftly raise high into the air to moving towards the group as if it was listening to them. The group all gasped as the figure swiftly turned around on all fours glaring at them with blue glowing eyes as they readied their weapons as the figure stood up on his feet as he looked at them asked "What do you lot want!?" Everyone recognize the voice to be Varian's but it sounded a bit horse as they lowered their weapons as Rapunzel in shock asked "Varian is that you?!" Varian walked forward a bit then ran back to the wall jumping up against it springing up flying over them as he landed he started to run away on all fours as Rapunzel shouted "Varian wait come back!?" Varian galloped out of the stables running past some guards really fast as he headed towards the fields of green grass, tall wheat grew and other donkeys lived. Varian thought for sure he could hide there suddenly the Captain of the guards and the King ran in front of him blocking his path so he turned running towards the docks. Rapunzel and her friends met up with them as they all ran towards the docks as they saw the young man run to the end of the dock he ran onto skidding to a stop at the end with nowhere to go as he turned to face the large group. The guards aimed their crossbows at him as Varian stood on all fours snarling, snorting and stomping his hand giving them a warning to back off as Rapunzel screams "Stop it all of you!?" The Captain of the guards shouted "HOLD YOUR FIRE!?" Rapunzel rushed forward causing one of the crossbows to go off sending the arrow into the dock a inch close to Varian's right hand causing him to rearing back braying loud leaning back so far that he falls back into the sea. Eugene ran forward diving into the sea for he remembered Varian told him he couldn't swim so he would have to hurry as he went down into the sea searching for Varian. Finally after a minute the two men broke the surface gasping for air as Rapunzel and Cassandra help pull Varian out of the water as he coughed up water as Eugene joined them coughing too. Varian opened his eyes looking up at them before closing his eyes once more suddenly Rapunzel noticed something hairy and long poking out of the wizard's hat that was covering Varian's head so she removed it as everyone gasped at what they saw, Varian had two long dark gray donkey ears instead of his small ears! Rapunzel tried shaking Varian as he slowly woke up sitting up rubbing his eyes. Varian yawned asked "Have I returned home yet?" Rapunzel asks "What do you mean? You don't remember all of what just happened?" Eugene explains "Varian I just had to jump into the sea to save you from drowning! And what's happened to you? You're ears are long and hairy like donkey's ears?" Varian just yawned again as he scratches his ear as he asks "Yawn what do you mean? I doubt that." As soon as he felt his ears he stopped scratching as he felt both his ears with his hands as he noticed how long his ears now were as he short screamed as he pulled his ears down looking at them frantically as he screamed "What happened to me?! What is this..what's...going on..HAW HEE HAWWW?!" Varian cupped his mouth with his hands shock at what he just did as he saw the shocked looks on their faces. Rapunzel helps Varian stand up as she asks "Varian where were you the past 3 weeks?" Varian thinks for a moment then exclaimed "I'm believe I was on a place called Pleasure Island? But I can't remember much for some reason?" Eugene says "Maybe we all should go ask Xavier for help on this memory problem." As Varian turns with Rapunzel and her friends to go see Xavier The Captain of the guards, three other guards, King Frederic and Queen Arianna block their way making Varian feel scared as The Captain of the guards says "That young man isn't going anywhere. He's going back to prison!" Hearing this Varian gets scared as one of the guards grabbed Varian's hand Varian on instinct screams "Ow let me go...HAW..chomp!!" Varian then bites down hard on the guards fingers making him to let go. The guards finger bleed as Varian glared at them as he backed away Queen Arianna placed her hand on Captain's shoulder saying "Let me handle this." Queen Arianna walked up to Varian who was shaking she exclaimed "Shhh...shhhhh Varian it's ok I promise not to hurt you at all. We won't put you back in prison if that is what you're afraid of. I only wish to help you PLEASE just let me?" Queen Arianna slowly approaches him as his legs shake like mad as everyone held their breath before she placed her hand on the back of his donkey ear and started to scratch it making him fall onto his butt as he closed his eyes in pure pleasure as he leaned more into her hand as his tongue hung out panting happily like a dog. Finally after two minutes she stopped ad Varian falls onto his chest out of breathe as he looked up at her giggles saying "That felt great...hee...Hee...hee..ha..thank you." Rapunzel noticed something wiggling under the seat of Varian's pants as she walked over to investigate as well as Queen Arianna as they both approached him confused as Rapunzel grabbed Varian arms and legs wrapping them in her hair so he wouldn't buck Arianna as she was behind him. Varian struggles asking "Hey what are you doing groans gah!?" Rapunzel says "Relax we're just checking out something." Rapunzel and her mom both nod in unison before Arianna pulled down Varian's pants as a 15 inch long donkey gray tail sprang out of his tailbone with a 3 inch black tassel on the end of it swinging back and forth in the air as everyone gasped in horror as Varian asked "Sigh what is it now?" Varian looked behind him to see the tail causing him to go pale and start hyperventilating as Rapunzel untied her hair from his arms and legs as he sat on his knees grabbing his new tail examined it was moving on its own and had real muscles twitching and everything. Varian started laughing crazily before sobbing loudly as he collapsed on his knees as Rapunzel hugged him saying "Shh...shhh Varian it's going to be alright...we'll figure this out and find a way to get you all better." Varian looked into Rapunzel's eyes before feeling Queen Arianna doing something with his pants as he in panic asked "Hey..hey..hey what are you doing!?" Queen Arianna was making a small hole in the seat of his pants then she gently put his tail through the hole in his pants as she showed him what she was doing. Once Arianna was done Varian stood up examined what she did for him as she also stood up as he looked at her saying "Uh..oh...thanks." Varian's ear twitches catching his attention pecking his curiosity as Rapunzel turns towards her father explains "Dad PLEASE let me and my friends go take Varian to see Xavier to find a way to cure him of...whatever...this..is. So can you PLEASE explain later to me why you are still hateful towards Varian excuse us." Rapunzel and her friends along with Varian all headed towards Xavier's blacksmith booth as Queen Arianna stood by her husband whispered "She is going to be very mad with you when she finds out that you never help Varian with the promise you made towards her! I'll be with her goodnight. And Phil you PLEASE come with me just to keep us all at ease?" As Arianna and Phil followed them King Frederic sighed deeply knowing it was true he didn't keep his promise to his daughter Rapunzel. Everyone else went back into the castle but didn't notice a small creature following Rapunzel and her friends. Once everyone arrived at Xavier's booth Xavier examined Varian by having him on a wooden table laying on his stomach butt naked as the others snickered behind them making Varian blush deep red of embarrassment! Xavier asked "So Varian you say you don't know how you become like this?" Varian sighed saying "Like I said I don't remember much on where I was!" Xavier turned towards his potions picked up two potions off the shelves turned back to Varian helping him sit up as he placed a towel around Varian's waist line so he was a little decent as he handed Varian a red potion explains "Now Varian this potion will restore your memories that you can remember. Then you can tell us what happened to you." Varian took the cork off the bottle smelling it to find it smelled like cherries so he drank the whole bottle in three gulps. After a minute a red aura flooded over Varian before he held his head asking "Agh! UHH What?" Rapunzel asks "Varian do you remember what happened to you on Pleasure Island?" Varian looked at her thinking a moment before explaining "Yes I was in my prison cell sleeping deeply before a felt a tight hand cup over my mouth as I started growing very sleepy. I woke up later as I felt rattling as I saw that I was on a carriage being pulled by donkeys? There was a large coachman next to me along with some other kids in the carriage all excited about going to Pleasure Island. I didn't know what was going on so the kid Anthony next to me explains "Have you ever been to Pleasure Island?" "I shook my head no." The kid Anthony continued "It's a swell place no parents, no cops, no school you can tear the place apart and nobody says a word. Plenty to drink, plenty to eat, free rides, and its all free! Ohhh I can hardly wait!" I shrugged as I leaned back and went back to sleep for another hour before being woken by the kid Anthony telling me they had arrived. I stretched my arms and yawned as I looked around as I saw we were on a island with a amusement park with rides, food, drinks, games, and a giant funhouse! I was so surprised by how this place could exist I smiled wide as I cheered as I ran into the amusement park and first ate some good food and drinks before trying some games which were too easy so I joined the boys in breaking, messing with and I even got to show off some of my safest experiments! But after doing the same stuff over and over again I grew bored once day and started missing my dad. But on the last morning of the 3rd week I walked by a puddle to see something strange on my ears instead of my small ears they were gray donkey ears! I screamed loudly as I jumped back bumping into my friend Anthony who was turning into a donkey with a tail, ears, fur and legs! That's when I remember why dozens upon dozens of children had been going missing the last few days the last 2 weeks! I grabbed my friend Anthony making a run towards the docks when we heard the coachman and several other ape looking men running towards us we were so close but as we were getting to the door we saw that they were closing it and I was scared we'd be trapped there! The ape men next to the door were ready to catch us with ropes but I luckily had alchemy on hand! I threw goo trap balls at the ape men near the door keeping them from getting closer and used a smoke bomb as we ran through the door reaching docks but my friend Anthony knew that he couldn't swim and he sacrificed himself to distract them while I swam back to Corona on a log that was in the water since I couldn't swim well ether. I jumped in the water hiding under the dock as Anthony ran down the beach leading them away long enough for me to escape crying as I tearfully whispered goodbye to my friend forever. After swimming for some time a group of dolphins came to my rescue letting me ride on them much of the way til I was able to finally get my strength back and swim the rest of the way to Corona. Once I arrived I collapsed onto the docks out of breathe heavily as I sat myself up on my hands looking around not seeing anyone around at all which confused me as I slowly got up on my feet quickly running over to the stables to rest. As I walked into the stables I walked by Max who was asleep as I hid inside a empty stable and cried myself to sleep. And then you all witnessed the rest." Rapunzel sighed with relief as she said "I'm sorry about your friend Varian but I'm sure we will find a way to rescue them." Rapunzel brushed her hand against Varian's face to make him feel better when they suddenly heard metal can crash and roll across the ground making them turn to see what caused it. Varian's nostrils flared steam as he stood up on the table to see over the group to see a pair of eyes staring at him as he uttered "Ru..Rudiger?" A chirping raccoon sound was heard making Varian cry out "Rudiger!?" Varian leaped over the group landing on all fours as Rudiger emerged from the darkness jumping into his arms as a anthropomorphic looking human version of Rudiger. He looked like a 12 year old boy with light brown skin gray hair on his head and along his cheeks like a raccoon. He was wearing a gray sweater and gray long pants with a raccoon tail sticking out of the seat of his pants. He also wearing black boots and gloves on his hands. Varian uttered "Ru...Rudiger is that you?" The boy made a raccoon chattering sound before trying to utter "Var...Varian?"
