Cassunzel Short Stories

Time Together

This takes place 1 year after the final fight.

"Are you sure about this, Raps?" Cassandra stood in front of Rapunzel's mirror, clothed in her newly-made warrior outfit that was created by Rapunzel herself as she turned to look at her best friend. Or, as much as she could.

"Of course I am! What are you so worried about?" Rapunzel asked as she stood behind Cassandra fixing her uniform, making sure everything was in place.

"Oh, I don't know," Cassandra said sarcastically as she rolled her eyes. "Maybe it's because the LAST time I was in Corona, I destroyed their home AND tried to kill their princess."

Rapunzel let out an exhausted sigh as she moved to stand in front of Cassandra; a frown toning her pretty features. "Cass, it's gonna be fine. It's been nearly a year. And besides, you left on a good note, right?"

Cassandra sighed and looked to the side to avoid her eye contact. "I don't know, Raps.."

"Come on, Cass, it'll be fun! We can spend the WHOLE day together, just like old times!" Cassandra still looked unsure, so she pulled out something she knew that would make Cassandra cave. She pouted, pushed her lip out and looked at her with puppy eyes. "Please?"

It took Cassandra a matter of seconds before she caved. "Fine." She sighed and slugged her shoulders. Rapunzel let out an excited squeal and tackled her best friend into a hug.

"I promise, you won't regret it! We're gonna have so much fun together!"

"I really hope so.." Cassandra mumbled.

"We will!" Rapunzel let go of Cassandra and fixed the collar of her shirt. "There! You look beautiful! Let's go!" Rapunzel grabbed Cassandra's hand before she could respond and all but basically dragged her out the door. Cassandra rolled her eyes, unfazed by her best friend's enthusiasm.

It didn't take long before the pair were out in the moon-filled night. The people of Corona filled the streets as some were dancing, some singing, some eating, as the people celebrated the newest celebration: The defeat of Zhan Tiri. Rapunzel made it a new celebration to honor the strength the people of Corona had during the last battle. It was huge. Loud music could be heard for miles, the smell of carnival food filled the air and lastly, the beauty of the moon shone down on them all to honor the brave warrior who, in the end, basically gave her life to save Corona.

Rapunzel looped her arm through Cassandra's as they walked past the crowd of dancing people, passed the food stands and passed the laughing children. People waved to them as they walked back, some even gave Cassandra an admiring smile. But it didn't take long for Cassandra to notice that they were walking AWAY from the party and walking into the forest.

"Raps, where are you going? The party is-"

"I know." Rapunzel responded with a smile, her eyes never leaving the road in front of them. "There's something I want to show you." As the music grew faint, Cassandra couldn't help but wonder how far this 'thing' Rapunzel wanted to show her was. Rapunzel suddenly stopped after 15 minutes of walking silence and turned to look at Cassandra with a smile. Cassandra gave her a confused look before Rapunzel pulled out a blindfold.

"Uhm," Cassandra eyed the blindfold suspiciously. "Why-"

"Just trust me." Was all Rapunzel said. Cassandra nodded as the blindfold was placed on her eyes and tied behind her head. As soon as it was on, Rapunzel looped her arm again and started walking forward. Cassandra felt uncomfortable because of the fact she couldn't see anything; which meant her guard was down. But she trusted Rapunzel, so she let her lead her. After another 10 minutes of silent walking, Cassandra began to grow nervous.
