The Apartment


"Like I said, we can only let you in for a bit to dry off and then we'll get you a cab," Eugene said. They had just arrived at the apartment. They let the kids go inside first. They tried to get Rapunzel in next, but her dress was too big. "What is up with this dress of yours?" Eugene asked, trying to push her in.

"Oh, do you like it? I gathered the silk from my silkworm friends, and then spun it into silk on my spinning wheel!" Rapunzel said. She was very chatty. On the way there she pretty much told them her whole life story.

"You made that by yourself?!" Keira asked. Catalina was just staring at the dress.

"Well, the rabbits and mice helped with the sewing!" She said, and finally got in. But her petticoat got stuck in the doorway. She giggled on the floor.

Later, when they all got inside, Eugene was working at the table, and the twins were hanging out with Rapunzel. Catalina had asked, "Are you really a princess?"

To which Rapunzel replied, "Not yet. But I will be, soon..." she yawned on the last word, laid down and fell asleep. Keira walked over to her dad.

"Wow, she's really sleepy." Eugene looked up and saw Rapunzel asleep on the couch.

"Oh no. Oh no no no. You guys, I want you to sleep in my room tonight, go to bed," He said. They did as they were told, and he pulled out his phone. He called the taxi company. "Hi, I would like a car, 116th and Broadway..." They person on the other side asked the destination. He didn't respond.  They tried again. No response. He hung up. He decided to let her stay.

In the morning, Rapunzel woke up and saw the mess, and she did not like it. "Oh no, this just won't do," she said. She walked over to the window and opened it. "Ah-ah-ah-ah a-a-a-a-a~" she sang out. Creatures like rats and pigeons and flies flew in. "... well. It's always nice to make new friends!" Rapunzel said.

"Come my little friends, as we all sing a happy little working song~" she sang.

"Merry little voices clear and strong. Come and roll your sleeves up, so to speak and pitch in"

"Cleaning crud up in the kitchen, as we sing along~"

"Trill a cheery tune in the tub, as we scrub a stubborn mildew stain" she sang, while cockroaches came in through the drain.

"Pluck a hairball from the shower drain! To the gay refrain, of a happy working song~"

"We'll keep singing without fail! Otherwise we'd spoil it!"

"Hosing down the garbage pail, and scrubbing up the toilet! Ooh!"

"How we all enjoy letting loose with a little La-da-dum-dum-dum!"

"While we're emptying the vacu-um, it's such fun to hum"

"A happy working song, ooh-ooh, a happy working song~"

She walked over to the balcony

"Oh, how strange a place to be, till Cassie comes for me~"

"My heart, is sighing~"

"Still, as long as I am here"

"I guess a new experience, could be worth trying!"

"Hey!" She said, walking into the kitchen, "Keep drying!"

"You can do a lot, when you have such a happy working tune to hum!"

"While you're sponging up the soapy scum! We adore each filthy chore that we determine!"

"So friends even though you're vermin! We're a happy working throng~!"

A pigeon, trying to put away a plate ended up breaking it on accident, waking up Catalina. "Keira! Keira, wake up! I heard something!" The twins got up and walked to the door.

"Singing as we fetch the detergent box"

They saw rats carrying detergent and a pigeon accidentally left a sock on Keira's head.

"For the smelly shirts and the stinky socks!"

They walked to the living room where Rapunzel was singing

"Sing along! If you cannot sing then hum along!"

The girls stared, eyes wide.

"As we're finishing our happy working song~!"

Rapunzel sat down on the couch, and all the animals surrounded her. "Wasn't this fun?"
