You were sound asleep dreaming about the story you were reading, Rapunzel, simple and well known story line. When Disney made it into a movie though, oh man, they made a whole new adventure out of it. Still in a deep sleep, you felt a slight tug on your hair. You shifted a little and sat up in your bed... Wait... BED?!
Your eyes flashed open, making the little chameleon on your lap jump. Your gaze went to the little chameleon first. His scales faded into the ground in fright, but when he opened his eyes and looked up at you he relaxed. His scales faded into a natural green with a few scales in the color white and red mixed in with it and his big amber eyes looked up at you. He seemed... familiar.
You placed your feet on the ground, but felt a bit weird. You ran your fingers through your hair, but noticed... You couldn't feel the end of your hair. You abruptly stood up, scaring the chameleon again, and felt your hair trail to your feet. You followed the long trail of hair all around the room and guessed there was about seventy feet of it. One more thing to note, your hair wasn't the same shade of (h/c) you use to have, it was now a shocking gold. Not like blonde more like a freaking gold coin.
"No way, did that story I read..." You trailed off, looking to the cowering chameleon. Feeling guilty, you gently picked him up and stroked his back lightly, trying to comfort him. A strange "Veh~" noise came from him and you decided he was alright now. You held him up to your face and smiled at him. "You remind me of a certain Italian, so I think I'm going to call you Feli."
You placed him on your shoulder and looked around the room. "Looks just like the movie... Does that mean it will play out just like the movie?" You stood in thought for a moment, trying to figure out this weird situation you were in.
If this is like the movie, then that means you would be meeting your Flynn Rider. You shook your head of the thought, trying to think what you would do now. This caused you to look at the clock.
"Crap, I forgot about the songs..." You sighed, but smiled slightly. You loved the newer Disney animated movie songs.
"Seven A.M., the usual morning lineup: Start on the chores and sweep 'til the floor's all clean." You grabbed a nearby broom and began sweeping the floor in tune with the song. "Polish and wax, do laundry, and mop and shine up. Sweep again, and by then it's like 7: 15."

"And so I'll read a book or maybe two or three." You set down the broom and skimmed your fingers across the spines of the books. You then picked up a nearby paint brush and dipped it into some paint and signed your signature on the wall. "I'll add a few new paintings to my gallery. I'll play guitar and knit"
"And cook and basically, just wonder when will my life begin?" You stepped into the kitchen, grabbing a homemade muffin and skipped back into the main room.

"Then after lunch it's puzzles and darts and baking." You finished the muffin and looked at the large selection of things to do in the tower. "Papier mache, a bit of ballet and chess. Pottery and ventriloquy, candle making"
"Then I'll stretch, maybe sketch, take a climb, Sew a dress!" Feli seemed a bit unfazed by your suggestion and you laughed at his obliviousness.
"And I'll reread the books, If I have time to spare." You looked at the books, knowing you couldn't read them all in such short time. You then gazed up to the tops of the walls, seeing almost all of them were already filled paintings. "I'll paint the walls some more, I'm sure there's room somewhere. "

"And then I'll brush and brush, and brush and brush my hair." You had successfully pulled a brush through all of that hair and smiled at the thought that you were portraying Rapunzel right now, but the question still lingered. Who was Flynn? "Stuck in the same place I've always been."

"And I'll keep wonderin' and wonderin' And wonderin' and wonderin'." You plopped back down on the bed again, staring up at the ceiling, breathing heavily from all the running around you just did. "When will my life begin?"

"Tomorrow night, lights will appear. Just like they do on my birthday each year." You stood up and slowly walked up to the window, realizing that your birthday would be tomorrow or at least in this story. "What is it like out there where they glow? Now that I'm older, Mother might just let me go ..."

"This is it. This is a very big day, Feli. Hm-mm. I'm finally gonna do it. I'm gonna ask her." You knew what would happen, but hey, why not stay to the script?

"(Y/n)!Let down your hair!" Strange... That didn't sound like Mother Gothel, is she different like Pascal?

"It's time." Feli attempts to straighten up, but you could tell he was frightened of the women as well. You smiled and tucked him behind your hair. "I know, I know, come on, don't let her see you. "

"(Y/n), I'm not getting any younger down here." She would, once she got up here. You couldn't wait to get away from that witch.

"Coming, mother." You flung your long hair out the window and put it on the hook, so it wouldn't get hurt when being tugged on. When the person emerged you were surprised to see a familiar face. She looked just like Taiwan, which caused you to hesitate. "Hi, welcome home, mother."

"Uh, (Y/n)! How you manage to do that every single day without fail! It looks absolutely exhausting, darling." It was weird seeing someone like Taiwan act out this part, but you could see how it fit her. She loved fashion and being old and dead probably wasn't trending right now.
