Vincent Gets Tangled with Rapunzel

chapter 11

Matches hummed as she looked at the brochure.

"What are you doing?" Spike asked his mate.

"Look at this wonderful place," Matches turned the brochure for him to see. "There's dragons all around with many other magical creatures that no one would ever see... Sometimes human children who are lucky enough can even visit. Oh, just think of our children living in a place like this!"

"Cool, mind if I take a look?" Spike asked.

Matches handed him the brochure. "They could become bilingual on their first day of school," she smiled fondly. "I hear the teacher speaks Spanish."

"Awesome!" Spike smiled.

Matches smiled as they looked through the brochure together.

"It looks so wonderful..." Spike smiled. "Say... You think our kids will ever meet a human?"

"Maybe someday..." Matches giggled.

"Um, Rapunzel, since we're going to a masked ball, don't you think the three of us should you change?" Vincent suggested.

"Just what I was thinking..." Rapunzel agreed.

"This reminds me of Romeo and Juliet," Vincent commented. "Though, hopefully you and that guy won't get poisoned in the end..."

"Yes, hopefully." Hobie said.

Rapunzel opened the wardrobe and looked for a decent enough dress to wear.

"Wait, why not use your paintbrushes to paint yourselves something decent to wear?" Spike suggested.

"Hmm..." Rapunzel took the brush. "I wonder if it'd even work..." she then painted a dress on the wall.

Vincent decided to do the same for his suit on a different wall.

"Ooh..." Vulpix smiled.

"Go ahead!" Penelope urged in anticipation. "Try them on!"

"Yeah, we wanna see how they look on you guys." Spike added.

"Okay... Let's do this then." Vincent nodded.

Rapunzel and Vincent then walked into their paintings and they came out, dressed in their new dress and suit.

"Well... What do you think?" Rapunzel asked with a smile.

"Beautiful." Penelope smiled at Rapunzel.

"Handsome." Spike smiled at Vincent.

Rapunzel looked in the mirror and shrugged. "I think it's too simple."

"Then get busy and paint over it, deary." Matches suggested.

Vincent looked in the mirror as well. "Hmm, this one's too simple too."

"Well, you know what to do." Vulpix nudged him.

Vincent and Rapunzel then redid their fancy clothes the best that they could. But the next one they did, looked too fancy.

"Yuck!" Vulpix cringed.

"Ooh, that might be a bit too much..." Matches shuddered slightly.

Rapunzel and Vincent then tried one more time. But the next ones they had on didn't look like it would be for a ball, it looked like it could be in an art museum.

"Definitely has a little bit of time." Hobie commented.

"Ugh, and I thought shopping with Aunt Darla took forever!" Vincent was a little annoyed with this.
