   megara really didn’t understand rapunzel. she was a little too nice for her liking. it didn’t exactly make sense. she was going to grab herself a bottle of vodka to pour herself a shot and downed it. only to look up as rapunzel spoke,“ they aren’t your thing?” she shrugged as she took another good look at the younger girl,“ again you don’t exactly fit in here, you’re just-i don’t even know how to describe you.”

he let out a small huff of air in amusement at her question. he liked to think that he helped keep carthay in tip-top shape, so much so that he never thought about how it would be if he was gone. he didn’t want to toot his horn so much that he believed the city would fall apart without him, but he also never wanted to imagine a situation where carthay wasn’t as good as it should be. “ i’d hate to even think about it, ” he replied with a tiny smile. he looked at her outfit and nodded. “ i see that. feeling extra productive today, are we? ” usually he wasn’t one to stay long at other people’s homes, but rapunzel always knew how to keep him around for longer than normal. “ i mean, if you’ve got some, sure. i’d hate to inconvenience you, though. ”

    jack knew that he was probably going to regret ending a conversation the way he was. he was shaking his head at himself before looking up at the girl. all he did was shove his phone in his pocket,“ it’s not something you need to apologize for.” he was taken by surprise at the mention of a favor. he went to take a few steps towards her, his eye brows raised,“ um,” he paused,“ a favor? what kind of favor?” he wasn’t entirely sure what she could want from him.

“ yeesh, fine, so she’s not your mother. no need to be so damn testy about it. what’s there to be sensitive about anyways ? it’s not like she’s gonna try to kidnap you again. that’d be a bit redundant, don’t you think ? unless you’re worried your parents are going to beg for her to take you back or some shit. can you say plot twist. ”

the girl couldn’t help but feel the unwanted sense of anger fill her being, what an ugly emotion. “listen to yourself! you’re just saying things that you know will cause a rise out of me. what she did was terrible, it broke my parents and stole part of my life, if you can’t see that then no amount of flowers can fix you. this shop is for paying customers and if you aren’t planning on buying something then leave, and i won’t be as kind if i have to tell you the second time.” 

   megara was going to murder someone if the night got any worse. she could not believe the luck that she had. she was going to toss her shoes into a garbage bag once she had gotten them off. her head lifting when she heard rapunzel’s voice,“ chances are they will end up passed out in the gutter,” she said after a moment, shrugging,“ i got it and i wouldn’t say no to the sandals, walking barefoot in this place? not ideal.” she was a bit surprised to see the younger girl there,“ i didn’t think you’d still be hanging around here.”

“It would! You need to get my sister on our side. She’s determined that whole story about sharks being more likely to attack at night is true…. I mean, I’ve never researched it, but that just sounds bogus, y’know?” Lilo shrugged, her sister w a s just looking out for her… “I guess I need to come to this festival, then!” 

“I could talk to her if you wanted, offer her something in exchange for you riding out at night, you know? With how many boats and lights there will be, I can’t imagine a shark wanting to come and disrupt the fun,” she nodded towards the girl, clapping excitedly. “Oh really? You know you just made my day.” 

“I swear, it’s rarely ever dark in the middle of the city - there’s always something going on,” she nodded. “It’s really nice to be able to come here and get a change of pace and get my thoughts back in order,” she chuckled. “Do you like stargazing often?”

    —- shock couldn’t help but be, well, shocked. “really?” she questioned once more. she thought for a while, “i could be.”

R: When’s the last time they had a birthday party?

She has a huge birthday festival every summer. So.. Last summer. 

I: In general, are they organized or messy?

Rapunzel is a very organized person, there is a spot for everything.  

D: What time does their day usual start?

She usually wakes up from 7:30 to 8. 

E: Are they the happiest they’ve ever been?  

Yes! But she thinks that she could be happier with every passing day. That’s tiring.

R: When’s the last time they had a birthday party?

“Flynn’s one of my best friends, but I can’t not picture him in my life.” 

“It’s not about if she did a good job raising me or not. She took that job from someone else, my actual mother. I feel like people forget that and the sooner they stop sympathizing with Gothel is the sooner we can forget she existed.”
