I was nervous about giving Eugene the Crown. It was around 6:30pm, so the lantern show will begin in about an hour or so.

It was already dark. And me and Eugene rented a boat. We were in the middle of the ships, when it started.

I almost tipped the boat over just to stand up.

I started to sing. It was a hunch.

Rapunzel=I Eugene=B Both=N

All those days

Watching from the windows

All those years

Outside looking in

All that time

Never really knowing

Just how blind I've been

Now I'm here

Blinking in the starlight

Now I'm here

Suddenly I see

Standing here

It's all so clear

I'm where I'm meant to be

And at last I see the light

And it's like the the fog has lifted

And at last I see the light

And it's like the sky is new

And it's warm and real and bright

And the world has somehow shifted

All at once

Everything is different

Now that I see you

Talking:

I turn around to see Eugene holding two lanterns. I sit.

"I have something for you too. I should've given it to you before, but, I was just scared. But the thing is, I'm not scared anymore. You know what I mean?" I say.

He goes to grab the satchel. But then pushes it onto the ground. "I'm starting to."

I smile and we throw our lanterns up.

Singing:

All those days

Chasing down a daydream

All those years

Living in a blur

All that time

Never truly seeing

Things the way they were

Now she's here

Shining in the starlight

Now she's here

Suddenly I know

Standing here

If she's here

It's crystal clear

I'm where I'm meant to go

And at last I see the light

And it's like the fog has lifted

And at last I see the light

And it's like the sky is new

And it's warm and real and bright

And the world has somehow shifted

All at once

Everything is different

Now that I see you

Now that I see you

Talking:

We lean in to kiss, but Eugene pulls away. Darn!

We pull the boat over and Eugene says he'll be right back.

"He'll be back Pascal." I say to Pascal, and to me.

About five minutes later, I see Eugene walking back here.

"Oh! I thought you left me." I say. But Eugene turns out to be two guys.

"He did." One says.

Then the other tries putting mean a sack, but I run. My hair gets caught on a branch,and i pull.

Bonk bonk.

"Rapunzel!" Mother calls.

"Mother?" I whisper to myself.

I run back to see mothers worried expression. She looks at me as if to say 'he left didn't he?'.

I nod and she holds her arms out to hug me. I hug her and cry. We head back to the tower.
