Elizabeth's POV:

It was early in the morning when i heard Athena, my pet wolf, barking downstairs.

I went to see what all the fuss was about.

When i got downstairs Varian was standing at the door trying to calm Athena down, laughing a little.

Was he wearing a new outfit?

"What's all this?" I asked.

"Oh this? Thought i'd try a new look, like it?" He asked.

I walked up to him and adjusted the collar on his shirt.

"Handsome as always" i said.

We just stared at eachother for a minute before Varian spoke.

"I almost forgot! We need to go help fix the throne room!"

"That's today!? I completely forgot!" I said.

"What happened to the throne room anyway?" I asked.

Varian laughed nervously.

"Saporian attack"

"Right" i said.

Later (at the castle)

"Ok everyone, after the saporian attack this kingdom could use a pick me up" Rapunzel explained "and what better way to bring everyone together then with a community project!?"

The crowd cheered.

"With a little hard work and a whole lot of Corona spirit, we can rebuild this kingdom! So let's do it!" She said throwing shovels into the crowd.

A few minutes later

"Hey! I have the artistic eye!" Red yelled.

"You dip! I paint!" Angry yelled.

Almost everyone was arguing.

"So much for Corona spirit..." i said.

Eugene turned to Rapunzel.

"I know this is typically your thing, Sunshine, but if you're trying to bring everyone together maybe gruelling manual labor isn't the best idea" he said.

"Don't think of it as gruelling manual labor" Rapunzel said "think of it as creativity, through destruction"

Then an argument broke out about a wall, i wasn't paying attention.

"Hey guys! Look!" Rapunzel called everyone over.

"What's that?" I asked, looking at something on the wall.

"It looks to be some kind of map" Varian said.

"'Here lies king Herz Der Sonne's lost treasure'!?" Rapunzel read.

"You guys! Wait! This is an honest to goodness treasure map!" She said.

"I have heard the legend of Herz Der Sonne's lost treasure" Xavier said "it is said to be buried in his crypt, the tale begins with-"

"Uh, Xaves" Eugene cut him off "bottom line us would ya?"

"She is right, it's a map"

"This is just the thing to bring everyone together" Rapunzel said.

Later (Outside)

"How many of you have ever dreamed of having a treasure of untold riches?" Rapunzel asked.

Varian and i looked at eachother and shrugged.

"We are holding a Corona-wide race for the lost treasure of Herz Der Sonne" Rapunzel announced.
