Vincent Gets Tangled with Rapunzel

chapter 4

Rapunzel was putting on tea now for Gothel and she poked at the fireplace. Since Penelope was very close with Rapunzel, she decided to come and check on the blonde human girl.

"So, Rapunzel, what happened?" Vincent asked.

Rapunzel looked to him while Penelope struggled to get herself through the doorway. "Well, I passed inspection thanks to you, but right now, I have to make tea and fast!" she told the boy.

"Mind if me and Vulpix help?" Vincent volunteered.

"Just be careful." Rapunzel warned.

"We will," Vulpix smiled. "Oh, by the way, my name is Vincent Fudo and this is Vulpix, my fire fox Pokemon." he then introduced.

"Nice to meet you." Rapunzel smiled.

Penelope struggled to get through the doorway.

"I hope Gothel chokes on her tea!" Hobie snarled, giving Rapunzel an herb.

"Same here." Vincent said.

Penelope noticed that Rapunzel needed more fire. "Ooh, let me try!"

"You sure, dear?" Matches asked.

"Just trust me, I know I can do this!" Penelope smiled, she took a deep breath and tried to blow a flame into the fire, but only a small chunk of it and she frowned in disappointment with herself.

"Nice try." Rapunzel soothed with a smile to cheer up the female purple dragon.

"Ooh, ooh, can I do it next?" Vulpix asked.

"Um... Can you?" Rapunzel did not know about Vulpix's fire powers.

Spike and Matches also looked curious.

"Yes, I can." Vulpix smiled.

"It's true." Vincent said.

"Okay, just be careful." Rapunzel warned Vulpix.

Vulpix nodded and looked to Vincent, waiting to be told to do a move like all Pokemon were bred to do.

"Alright, Vulpix, use Flamethrower." Vincent ordered.

Vulpix nodded, he then took a deep breath before allowing his fire powers to go to the fireplace. Rapunzel stepped back, she didn't know what to expect, so she tried to play it safe. Vulpix coughed a little, but smiled once there was a big enough flame, but not too big to spread around the area.

"Nice job." Rapunzel smiled and pet the top of Vulpix's head.

"Thanks." Vulpix smiled.

Penelope's tail accidentally hit the table behind her and it made the tea tray fly in the air.

"Oh, no!" Hobie panicked.

"Oh, dear!" Spike also panicked.

Hobie started to catch the cookies in his mouth.

"I got it!" Penelope dove in and caught the lemon in her hand.

Rapunzel knelt down and caught the tea tray in her hands. Vincent and Vulpix caught the tea pot and plate. Hobie lay on the floor now with a very full belly.

"Don't forget the lemon," Penelope told her human friend. "Where's the tea cup, guys?" she then asked Vincent and Vulpix.

The tea cup fell from the mantle. Penelope caught it with a breath of relief. The spoon fell on one of the fireplace statues' face, opening a secret basement.

"Now, that's downright spooky." Hobie said, noticing the secret passage way to the secret basement.

"What?" Penelope smirked cockily. "You don't think I got moves? 'Cuz I got moves!"
