Rise of the Guardians 2

Chapter 17

Merida opened her mouth to speak, but I interrupted. "This is kind-of off topic, but you said that the flower and your hair could heal anything, right?"

"Yes" Rapunzel said confused

"Could it even heal your hair?" I asked "Could it give you back your power."

"I guess so." She said "I really don't know. It doesn't matter though, the flower's gone and so is the power my hair had."

I grinned. "Maybe now." I said "But it wasn't 70 years ago" Rapunzel still looked confused but Jack and Merida had caught on. I held up the watch "This is a time travel device. It allows us to as far back in time as we want. We can go back a time when the flower still existed and get back your powers and your youth." I stopped realizing what I had just said "Er-no offence"

"None taken" she said smiling. "I need some time though, to say...goodbye"

We went with her back up to the Castle and gave her some privacy as she said goodbye to her family. When she came back I asked a question that had been nagging at me for some time.

"Punz, where did you say you were going? If you told them the truth they'd think you were crazy"

"I told them I was going to pay a visit to my cousins in Arendelle" she said "There's actually a ship that's leaving to go there. By the time that they find out that I'm not there, I'll be gone." There was a note of sadness in her tone.

"Are you sure you want to accept, Punz" Merida asked

"Yes" Rapunzel said "I can't Pitch or my moth-Gothel, destroy the world."

"It's not the world they want to destroy." I said darkly "They want to destroy hopes and dreams, so the only thing that kids believe in are themselves and the dark centers that they control."

Of that happy note, I set the watch to a time about 70 years ago and we all joined hands.

"I have to warn you" I said "Time travel-at least this kind- is very unpleasant." We all joined hands and I set the watch. The portal opened and we were all sucked in the colorful wonderland of doom.
