(Spotlight shines center stage)

Varian narrating: You've all heard the story: A princess with long magical golden hair, rescued from her tower by a swashbuckling thief. Perhaps you heard of their adventures, defeating an ancient demon named Zhan Tiri, which is where you might know me. A kid living in Old Corona, causing trouble unintentionally with his inventions, who fell down a dark path and took over Corona... once or twice. Helped the Saporians take over the second time. Then I saw my errors and tried to right the wrongs I made by helping Rapunzel and the gang fight Cassandra and then Zhan Tiri. I was given the title of Royal Alchemist, a title that I far from deserve, but I couldn't turn down Rapunzel's offer.

(Varian continues) I had assumed that was the end of my adventures. It had certainly been a wild ride and it was nice to settle down, but... something didn't feel quite right. Not yet. Little did I know that my story had so much more to tell, but... actually, why don't we just show you what happened instead? (Steps off the stage as the lights go dark)

(Lights slowly light up and shine on the table where maids are)

Maids: It's today, it has arrived

Maid 1: Quick! Go get the silver!

Maid 2: Oh, I forgot the archives

Maid 3: The flowers will wither!

Maid 2: Oh, look, it's the princess!

Rapunzel: It's today, it has arrived
It has to be perfect
He deserves all we can give
I Hope he doesn't forget
This days, is long overdue
To show we appreciate
All that he did for us all
It has to be worth the wait

Eugene: It's today, I have arrived
Blondie, I brought the gift!
And it is all wrapped blue
Without further ado

Raps and Eugene: For it is long overdue
To show we appreciate
All the things that he has done
It has to be worth the wait

Varian: It's today, it has arrived!
They insisted a party
For me! But I might be late!
I'm just turning eighteen-
Hope she didn't over do it
No, I know she certainly did
Yet I let myself forget
Hope I don't keep them waiting

Rapunzel: He should be here any minute! Is everyone here?

Eugene: Relax, everything is going to be fine-

Lance: Well... we do have a bad history with birthdays.

Rapunzel: But, today is going to be different! The first best day of my life was my eighteenth birthday, and I want Varian to have a day as equally special!

Eugene: Not sure you can rival first day out of a tower meeting civilization... But I'm sure it'll be great!

(everyone freezes and the lights dim)

(Varian pauses before going to the table where everyone is sitting and the spotlight shines on him. The music slows and changes for the bridge)

Varian: I want to go in, but I can't
Memories I wish to forget flood in
I was a villain, most hated me
I don't deserve to be their friend

But I can't keep them waiting
Some will keep on hating
But I'll keep on ignoring
'Cause I'm good at enduring
No, can't keep them waiting
I can't keep on waiting
I have to go inside
So just use your gut and walk right in...
