"Y/N! I have to leave! Let go!" Varian yelped. Y/N was gripping for dear life onto Varian's overcoat. He had a large suitcase large enough to fit a human inside. Y/N looked up at him pleadingly.

"Varry! Please! Don't go! I'll be all lonely! Even Rudiger gets to go!" Y/N cried back, holding on tighter. Rudiger jumped onto Varian's shoulder and looked down on her, mockingly.

"You'll be fine! You like solitude! You always tell me to leave you alone!" Varian replies, wheezing.

"That's because you're too clingy!" You shake his overcoat backwards and forwards like a child begging for a toy.

"Well look who's talking!" He finally tugged away. You were left sat on the floor, pathetically. Varian placed down his suitcase and stomped upstairs to grab his alchemy set. You quickly opened the suitcase and slipped in between the clothes, throwing random objects in your path out the way. Finally, you found a comfortable space to nestle in and closed the lid lightly. Varian made his way back downstairs, heaved the suitcase up and walked out the door.

"Bye dad! Look after Y/N for me!" He yelled.

"I will, son! Remember, you should be back by next week!" Quirin replied as the door shut. The world seemed a little greener, a little brighter to Varian. He could hear the birds chirping sweetly. Quirin has promised Varian that after Y/N and him had turned 12, he was allowed to go out on his own trip to Corona to stay the week. Today was that day. Unfortunately, Y/N wasn't allowed to go, in case anyone recognised her in the kingdom. Varian was devastated, as he had spent a whole 6 years with this girl living with him! Sharing meals and a bedroom! It would be so lonely without her! He tried to think of all the positive things happening.

"Wow! My first proper outing! I'm so excited! So many things to see, adventures to do and people to meet!" He exclaimed, beaming.

"You're so cheesy, Varry", you mumbled through the clothes. Varian stopped instantaneously and released the suitcase from shock, making it land with a thump.

"Ow!" You shouted, but thankfully the clothes prevented you from being heard as loudly.

"Who said that!? Who's there!?" Varian cried, petrified. A small rustling noise could be heard from inside the case. He slowly began to unzip it and, all the clothes inside sprung out at him. He peered inside slowly, when something in the bushes rustled. Varian turned vigilantly towards the sudden noise, and slowly pulled out one of his flasks. Frantically zipping up the suitcase, he picked it back up off the ground.

"Stay composed, Varian. It's just a Rabbit belike, right?" Varian carried on ambling along, waiting for a good stop to camp before heading off to Corona the next morning. The sun was beginning to set. The birds sweet chirping had been replaced by the soft hoot of an owl in a nearby oak. Varian opened up his suitcase once again, except in a different pocket where he had kept his tent and camping supplies.

"Oh Y/N. I miss you. Especially since I'll have to find some flint and steel round somewhere to light a fire with!" Varian said, sighing sadly. Y/N winced a little, her conscience and concern for Varian making her want to jump out of the suitcase and hug him, desperately. But, she knew that if Varian found her, he would be too worried about her to take her to Corona with him, and cancel his trip just so she could go home. Y/N peered out from a small tear in the fabric, and saw Varian searching all over for some flint to use. He walked off into the forest, searching. Cautiously, Y/N crept out of the suitcase and walked over to the sticks that Varian had put to make a fire. She clicked her fingers and small embers spurted out, lighting the fire. She closed the suitcase and went to go find her own place to rest. Y/N was worried that Varian might find her while she was dormant, so she would just have to hide somewhere for the night and follow him later. Y/N clambered up a nearby tree to rest for the night. Varian returned empty handed, only to find his campfire lit.

"How in the... never mind" He sat down on the soft grass and went to sleep. Morning arose and Y/N had overslept! Varian had gone and left her! Well, to be fair, he didn't know she was here, but still! Y/N looked desperately but Varian was long gone, trust him to wake up so early! She laid her back against a nearby stone wall, only to fall through the views infront through a small cave.

"Ouch! Jeez!" Then, her eyes grew in amazement. A huge tower was behind her. It was beautiful.

"If I climb up there, then I could try and spot Varian, as long as that hill isn't too tall" Y/N walked cheerfully across to the tower, and used her inexplicable ability to scale walls with ease to climb up to the large window wide open. Y/N jumped in, only to meet eyes with a man tied up in what looked like... hair? And a girl standing in front of him, pointing a frying pan menacingly at him. "Uh..." was all Y/N could say.

"Ahah! You! Help me, please! I've been kidnapped by a madwoman!" The man shouted, rocking backwards and forwards frantically. Suddenly, the girl had disappeared, and a loud clang was heard before Y/N collapsed to the ground.

"Oh well done, Blondie. Killing children now are we? She looked like... 10 or something. You're a monster." Flynn said, shaking his head mockingly. Blondie looked surprised at what she had done. Her conscience kicked in and she realised she had just knocked out a small child for no good reason! The girl was probably just lost!

"Excuse me a moment", she said, and picked up Y/N, taking her to her room and leaving her there for now. "Now, Flynn Rider, back to business", Flynn sighed.

"What do you want, Blondie?" Flynn asked, reluctantly.

"I want you to take me to see the floating lights!" Blondie replied, authoritatively.

"You mean the lantern thing they do for the princess", he replied.

"Lanterns! I knew they weren't stars! Well, tomorrow evening they will light the night sky with these lanterns..."

Meanwhile

Y/N woke up slowly. She rubbed her sore head gently. All around her there were large and beautiful pictures, books and sketches, and the small scent of cookies gave the room a homey and warm feel to it. Y/N spun round, taking the whole room in. Until she heard a squeal, followed by a loud THUMP!

"I think you broke my smoulder!" Flynn wheezed. Y/N giggled a little. She cautiously peered round the door frame to see Flynn flat on his face and Blondie jumping around like a rabbit. Blondie then began to untie Flynn, apologising repeatedly.

"Interesting. She seems so tough yet, I can tell she's really just as innocent as a bunny! That explains why I woke up in there, she felt guilty!" I whispered to myself.

"Are you just gonna leave the kid here? Tch, Tch, Tch", Flynn said, smirking.

"I'm not getting left here!" Y/N said, emerging from the frame dramatically.

"I would applaud your entrance if hands weren't still tied up", Flynn replied, sarcastically.

"Again, so sorry!" Rapunzel cried, and finally undid the last part of her hair from him.

"So... I need to get to Corona. Can you guys help me?"

"That's where we're going! Sure you can come!"

"Great, another person to worry about!" Flynn shouted, tossing his hands up in defeat.

"Oh, no need to worry about me". Y/N made a small ball of flames appear, and she tossed up and down like a ball.

"I can look after myself".
