Dawn makes itself known with the morning light, but everyone in the camp is still asleep; Rapunzel using her hair as a blanket, Jonah and Dante on their backs with their respective jackets rolled into pillows and the latter has his hands behind his head, Samson laying against next to Jonah's left with Pascal sleeping on the dog's head, and Eugene resting his head on a boulder.
Eugene was sleeping like a baby until a couple drops of water wake him up enough to look up and see Maximus drenched, glaring daggers at the thief with fury.
"Well, I hope you're here to apologize." Eugene said smugly to the horse as he says before going back to sleep, only to be proven dead wrong when...
"AAAAAAGHH...!"
Eugene's loud scream snaps everyone out of their sleep before they see the thief being dragged away by Maximus.
"No, no, no! Put me down! Lemme go! Let! Me! Go!"
Rapunzel was the first to act as she shot up to her feet and ran straight for Eugene and grabbed her guide by his forearms and tries to pull him away from the palace guard horse's grasp with all her might.
"Give me... him!" Rapunzel demanded as she struggles to free Eugene from Max, who refuses to surrender his catch.
Then, Jonah assists Rapunzel by grabbing Eugene by the shoulders and that was enough to successfully pull the thief away from Maximus as the rogue's boot slid off his foot. This caused everyone to collapse to the ground as Rapunzel accidentally landed on top of Eugene with their faces 5 inches away from each other.
The two potential lovers blushed while the others smirked at them before Maximus, with Eugene's boot still in his mouth, gets back up and charges for the thief, only to be stopped by Rapunzel.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Whoa! Whoa!"Rapunzel tries to calm the horse down as she tries to keep him from (possibly) killing Eugene, but he's still acting wild.
Samson acts a little crazy himself as he barks frantically at the horse. However, Jonah steps in and holds his dog back.
"Easy, boy! Easy!" Rapunzel exclaimed.
Maximus neighs fiercely before galloping on his hind legs, which causes Samson to growl ferociously as he struggles unsuccessfully to get out of Jonah's grip.
"Whoa, whoa! Easy, boy, easy... easy." Rapunzel repeats. After a few seconds, Max finally calms himself. Needless to say that everyone else is impressed at how this girl stood her ground and managed to calm the horse down.
"That's it!" Rapunzel says as the horse looks up to see Pascal on her head gesturing the horse to settle down.
"This kid's got guts." An impressed Dante whispers to Jonah, who nods in agreement.
"Now, sit." Rapunzel commands before Maximus lowers himself but isn't sitting down all the way.
"Sit!" Rapunzel commands again.
