'The hot air balloon floated towards the waterfall; the moonlight making it ever so romantic. Cassandra and Andrew just stood there staring at each others eyes as Andrew gently rubbed Cassandra's cheek, just when they were about to share their first kiss, the balloon landed with a jerk giving Cassandra time to jump out and get away from the beautiful moment. "We really should put our names in the book" said Cassandra to Andrew. "What!? won't the book be taken away now?" asked Anthony started. But Cassandra just stood there and smirked.

"Advantages of being the Captain of the Guards daughter" she exclaimed as she opened the room containing the priceless book. "I soo love you" replied Andrew, grinning from ear to ear. "You write our names down" he told Cassandra handing her the quill. Just as Cassandra bend down to write, she sees Andrew's shadow. He was raising his weapon ready to strike her, only this time it was a large hammer instead. She reached down to grab her small knife but the only problem was that there was none. Andrew smashed the hammer on her head, no once but three times. Her neck throbbed with pain but he continued doing it again and again and again....'


Cassandra woke up with a jump, gasping for breath. The pain in her neck must have been due to the fact that she didn't sleep properly. Why was she thinking about the leader of the Separatists, especially when he pretended to love her just to take over Corona? Her thoughts were interrupted but knocking on the door. 'Rat-a-tap-tap' it was quite jolly, and before the person could say a word, Cassandra already knew who it was.

"Cassandra, Cass wakey - wakey" chimed Rapunzel, knocking on the door again.

"Aaargh" growled Cassandra, covering her ears with her pillow.

"Cass, wake UP" chimed Rapunzel, not that Cassandra expected her to give up.

"I'm coming, I'm coming" mumbled Cassandra, getting off bed. She stood up only to hear a small crunch beneath her, It felt soft and crunchy kindoff. Had owl left his snack on the floor by any chance? wondered Cassandra as she took another step and the same crunch arrived, Alarmed she looked around her, only to be greeted by the sight of her bedroom floor covered with red, fresh roses.

"Aaah, ooh, Aaaahh!!" chanted Cassandra, pacing around the room as though the floor was lava. Cassandra jumped on top of her bed-side cabinet as Rapunzel's wake-up calls kept ringing through the room. 'Was this a part of the nightmare' Cassandra wondered as she took a step back, as though she wanted to get far away from the nightmare as possible only to fall backwards on the floor.

Rapunzel heard a crash coming from Cassandra's room. "Do you think she's okay?" Rapunzel asked Pascal alarmed. "Cass, CASS OPEN UP!" Rapunzel yelled banging on the door. Suddenly the door creaked open.

"Oh Cass, you don't how worried I was.  I've been up since 4- OH MY GOD CASS!" shreiked Rapunzel, staring at her freind with horror as Pascal jumped behind her. Cassandra was covered from head-to-toe with roses. "Cass d-do you want me to brush that out f-for you?" asked Rapunzel pointing at Cassandra's hair which had roses poking out in all directions.

"Nope I just need Shorty's goat, Thanks"

I beg your pardon
I never wanted a rose garden
Along with the sunshine
There's gotta be a little rain sometime
