Rapunzel

"So, what are princesses like?" Biana asked. "I know they are supposed to be pretty, and I know they wear dresses, and I know they live in a castle, but what is the point?"

"I heard about a princess in one of my mom's human movies once. I think her name was Centerbella? Or something? Anyway, she had these mean sisters, and these mice, and the mice turned into horses, then she went to a fancy castle and married some lame dude that looked kinda like Wonderboy... Oh yeah! And there was this old human with wings that really liked pumpkins for some reason..." Dex tried to explain.

"Dex, her name was Cinderella, and she married a prince and found true love. The "human with wings" is called a fairy godmother. Humans believe that fairy godmothers come and help you when you need it the most," I explained.

"Why would a prissy princess have mice? And how do they turn into horses? And why pumpkins? And why...?" Tam asked.

"THAT'S NOT, I mean, just.. Never mind," I said. "I think I should at least show you guys the movie Tangled when we get back to Havenfield."

"Humans come up with the weirdest things," Fitz said.

"I think I am even more confused than I was before this conversation," Biana said.

"Well, Biana. We are about to meet a princess. Why don't you just ask her."

We went to go stand in line (surprisingly, a lot of the rich kids really wanted to meet Rapunzel), but I noticed that Tam was looking very nervous.

"Hey Tam, are you alright?" I asked.

"Yeah Tammy boy. You know, whenever you feel afraid I'll always be here for you," Keefe said with mock sincerity, and moved to give him a big hug.

Tam barely managed to dodge out of Keefe's way, which sent him toppling to the floor. Nobody helped him up. He totally deserved it.

"I'm fine, I just..." he started.

"Just what?" Linh asked gently.

"I just... don't wanna meet a princess..." he mumbled.

"Speak up, I can't hear you," Keefe goaded.

"I DON'T WANT TO MEET A PRINCESS! You satisfied? I hate it when people are dressed up. I don't like it when they act all bubbly and happy and CREEPY like that Olaf guy did. I would rather ride the Small World ride again (everybody collectively shuddered) than see another creepy person in a costume."

"Tam, I agree with you. Let's ditch." Dex grabbed Tam's arm and started dragging him away from the tower where we were going to meet Rapunzel.

"Oh no Dex, you don't get to skip out on this one, you already ditched the last ride," Keefe said as he pulled Dex back in line. "I don't care if Bangs Boy wants to leave. Even if he is a scaredy chicken." Keefe started doing a weird wiggle chicken dance.

"FINE, I'm scared. I mean, why would I possibly be scared? It's not like the last dude we met literally TOOK OFF HIS HEAD. You guys go dig your own graves if you want to. I'm out." And with that, he left to go wait on a bench.

"Umm, Sophie? Was Tam right about the princess people being, you know, creepy?" Fitz asked nervously.

"I'm starting to think that Sophie wants to torment us," Dex whined.

"They are all perfectly nice, and we are going to see them whether you want to or not," I said exasperatedly. "It's all part of the Disney experience. You HAVE to meet the characters. My parents used to take me to see all of the princesses, and fairies, and EVERYTHING for Amy, so be thankful that I am only forcing you to see one."
