Back in Rapunzel's bedchambers
11:26 P.M.
"So, how was it? Seeing the world and all?" Eugene said. "How did it feel to experience it all, Rapunzel?"
Rapunzel was at a loss for words, as expected.
"Then let me ask you this. How did it feel to grow your relationship?"
Rapunzel still did not know how to respond. It was all up there, but her mind was racing so fast with thought after thought that it was hard to think straight.
A RECOUNT
RAPUNZEL: THERE'S A WHOLE WIDE WORLD
THAT WAS WAITING FOR US TO SEE
A WHOLE WIDE WORLD JUST WAITING
FOR YOU AND ME
IT WAS BIG
IT WAS MAGNIFICENT
NOTHING LIKE EVER SEEN BEFORE
IT'S LIKE EVERYTHING I'VE EVER
DREAMED AND MORE!
I NEVER KNEW THERE WAS A WORLD OUT THERE
BIGGER THAN CORONA
HOPE YOU WOULDN'T HAVE KNOWN A
WORLD LIKE THAT WAS ALL OUT THERE
WAITING BEYOND MY GRASP!
OH, HOW I GASPED
OH, HOW THE WORLD WAS SO BEAUTIFUL
AND SO VAST
NOTHING LIKE THE WORLD YOU SHOWED ME IN THE PAST!
SO MANY EXPERIENCES
SO MANY EVENTS
SO MUCH EXCITEMENT
I GOT TO FEEL THE WIND IN MY HAIR
SIGHTSEEING FROM HERE TO THERE
FEELING THAT BEAUTIFUL AIR
FLOWING THROUGH MY SOUL
ALL THESE LOVELY THINGS
THAT THE WORLD OUT THERE PRESENTS!
I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT
THERE'S A WHILE WIDE WORLD OUT THERE
WAITING
WAITING
WAITING
FOR THE THREE OF US TO EXPERIENCE TOGETHER
A RELATIONSHIP WE COULDN'T REPLACE
A JOURNEY NOT EVERYONE CAN FACE
THE WORLD IS SUCH A WONDERFUL PLACE!
WHY DIDN'T I SEE IT ALL BEFORE?
THERE WERE SIX MORE KINGDOMS TO EXPLORE!
AND THEY WERE ALL OUT THERE
WAITING FOR US!
THERE'S A WHOLE WIDE WORLD OUT THERE
AND ITS STRIKING BEAUTY
WAS WAITING FOR US TO SEE
AND WE SAW IT
I WAS FASCINATED
I SAW IT
AND I WOULDN'T HAVE IT ANY OTHER WAY!
THE WAY WE LAUGHED TOGETHER
THE WAY OUR RELATIONSHIP FELT
LIKE FOREVER
I'LL NEVER FORGET WHAT WE HAD
HOW I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TO IMPRESS HER
THAT'S HOW WONDERFUL, I MUST ADD
NOTHING ABOUT IT WAS BAD!
AND THEN WE KISSED
OH, I COULDN'T RESIST!
MADE OUT AND THEN
THE MAGIC HAPPENED
WE GOT CLOSER AND CLOSER
IT FELT LIKE ETERNITY, LASTING FOREVER
SHE PULLED ME DOWN BY THE WAIST
AND SHE DID IT AGAIN
THE PAST FEW DAYS WERE FANTASTICAL
TOO REAL, YET TOO MAGICAL
OUR RELATIONSHIP GREW
AND THAT'S WHEN I KNEW
I HAD FEELINGS FOR BOTH OF YOU
IT'S CRAZY BUT TRUE
BUT THE WORLD CAN TEACH YOU SO MUCH
AND SO MUCH MORE THAN
YOU'VE EVER KNOWN BEFORE!
I HAD AN AWAKENING
IS THIS OK?
HECK, I'VE GOT NOTHING TO SAY!
I'M ALL TONGUE-TIED JUST THINKING ABOUT
THAT TIME, THAT DAY!
EUGENE: Hey, Blondie.
HOW YOU'RE FEELING IS OK
LISTEN TO YOUR HEART
LISTEN TO YOUR HEART
RAPUNZEL: THAT'S IT!
That's it!
THAT'S THE PLACE TO START!
I'VE GOTTA LISTEN TO MY HEART
LISTEN TO MY HEART!
EUGENE: Rapunzel, take my hand.
She does, looking longingly into Eugene's eyes. Cassandra was waiting just outside the doorway, listening to everything.
"If you love both of us, I totally understand. And if you want to be in a relationship with both of us, I totally understand. You're still young and it is totally OK to experiment with your identity. Just know that I'm here for you," Eugene said.
Cassandra, for the first time was crying with happiness. She tried to hide her tears, but couldn't.
"Were you... were you listening to everything?" Rapunzel asked.
"Yes. And it was beautiful," Cassandra said. "I never thought you were capable of producing something so beautiful, Eugene."
"No comment," Eugene said.
Then Rapunzel kissed him. Cassandra stood there with her hand on her heart. She understood.
"Come here, Cass!" Rapunzel said. "We all can experience that love together."
Cassandra blushed, then entered Rapunzel's bedchambers all the way. Rapunzel patted beside her --- a place where Cassandra could sit.
They kissed as well.
It was now 12:15 A.M. , so the throuple decided to call it a night, peacefully enjoying their new lives.
