Vincent Gets Tangled with Rapunzel

chapter 7

It was after sunset and Rapunzel, Vincent, and Vulpix made it back. Matches and Spike still had not heard from Discord, but they gave friendly smiles once the adventuring trio returned. Rapunzel came back into her bedroom and told her friends that had not gone with them everything.

Penelope enjoyed it a lot more than the others did obviously enough. "Tell me about the village again and don't miss a single detail!" she pleaded.

"Yeah, come on, tell us." Spike added in.

"You should've seen it..." Rapunzel grew animated, it was the best experience of her life due to being locked up for most of it and not really knowing anyone besides them and Gothel. "All the people, the castle, the fruit... But the best part was... I met somebody."

Matches hid a smirk with how Rapunzel delivered that last bit. "Was it a boy?"

"Yes and he was the most handsome man I've ever seen!" Rapunzel smiled.

"And... You've seen how many men before?" Hobie couldn't help but tease.

Rapunzel ignored that. "And he was kind, and strong, and--"

"So..." Penelope spoke up. "What's his name?"

"I don't know..." Rapunzel frowned about that. "I didn't ask."

This caused for Vincent and Vulpix to anime fall.

"Oh, well..." Spike sighed with a shrug. "At least she's happy."

"Maybe tomorrow I can visit again~" Rapunzel sang as she held Hobie in the air and started to dance with him.

Hobie stopped her, feeling a dreadful feeling. "Uh-Oh, Gothel!" Before he could finish the sentence, Rapunzel's bedroom door was then opened to show Gothel and Otto.

"Did we have a nice little trip today?"

Vulpix growled, wanting to hurt both Gothel and Otto, but Vincent wouldn't let him because it might get Rapunzel in trouble.

Rapunzel put her rabbit friend down and glared to the ferret, knowing he had to have something to do with Gothel knowing about today's escape. "Otto..."

'This doesn't look good.' Vulpix thought to himself.

"After all I've done, after all I've given you this is how you repay me!" Gothel scolded. "Sneaking off and with that street urchin and his filthy pet!"

"Hey!" Vincent and Vulpix glared to her for such words.

"But I... Why did not you tell me about the village?" Rapunzel tried to defend herself and her friends. "And it's so close by!"

"I did it for you," Gothel coldly explained. "To protect you from the evil there."

"But everyone was so nice there." Vincent said.

Rapunzel nodded in agreement.

"Yes, I'm sure they were..." Gothel glared to both of them, she did not know where Vincent came from and she did not care, she was going to keep him with Rapunzel. "I heard you met someone special. Who was he?"

"I-I don't know his name." Rapunzel sadly admitted.

"Same here." Vincent and Vulpix added.

"LIARS!" Gothel snapped, making Rapunzel drop to the floor in fear.

"We're telling the truth!" Rapunzel insisted.

"I believe I said I want his name." Gothel demanded.

"But we already told you, we don't know!" Vincent defended. "We never asked, we don't know, just leave us alone!"

"Maybe I'm not making myself clear..." Gothel glared, she then looked to Rapunzel's paintings with a malicious smirk and acquired magic spells to destroy the paintings.
