This is the story of how I died.. and went to heaven!

Okay, so the kingdom of Corona to be exact. But hey, let's not get hung up on semantics.

Once upon a time, a single drop of sunlight fell from the heavens- you know what? I'm just gonna give you the rapid-fire shorthand here.

The sundrop created a golden flower with healing powers. Creepy, old Mother Gothel sang a song to said flower to regain her youth.

Yada, yada, yada, the queen got sick. Flower healed Queen, Queen gave birth to Rapunzel, who was born with the flower's magical healing powers and everything was all flying lanterns and cheering subjects, until.. Gothel stole the princess and kept her locked in a tower for eighteen long years.

Then the princess was rescued by her sweet little sister, Princess Rosalie, who has a small strand of gold in her hair, courtesy of the excess remains of said magic flower, and a dashing, steely-eyed, suave, smoldering, devilishly charming rogue.

Now, some people might have called him a thief but I always preferred the term 'misunderstood good guy'. You see, it wasn't always easy for young Eugene, raised as an orphan on the rough streets-

Hey, Eugene, focus.

Huh? Oh! Right, sorry.

So, the beautiful young maiden, that's you, the sweet younger princess, that's Rosie, and the handsome rogue, that's me, made a deal.

We followed some lanterns, I saved you from Gothel, you saved your sister from.. death, she saved me the exact same way and then you got arguably the world's most overly dramatic haircut.

And then-

And then my long-lost sister was reunited with our family! But that is where our new story began.

Six months had passed, I was loving life inside the kingdom of Corona and my coronation to officially become princess had finally come.

We all had a few surprises that day. Didn't we, ladies? Pascal and Bucky, Rapunzel's chameleon friend and Rosalie's squirrel friend, snickered.

Laugh it up, frog and chipmunk.

Now, I know what you're all thinking.

Yes, Eugene and I did get married.

But, make no mistake, getting to the wedding day and our happily ever after would be the biggest adventure we would ever face.

Oh, that's good.

The sun was shining brightly one morning, casting a golden glow over the dense forest near Corona Castle. Birds were chirping melodiously and the leaves rustled gently in the breeze.

The tranquility was shattered, however, by the thunderous sound of hooves pounding against the forest floor. Eugene, Rapunzel and Rosalie were barrelling through the trees on horseback.

Eugene, ever so daring, was expertly saddled upon Maximus, the fastest white horse in the kingdom.

Beside him, Rapunzel, with her now short brown hair flowing freely, held the reins of Fidella, a swift brown mare with a sleek black mane.
