Cassandra gasp as she looks at a pocket watch in her hand. "Two hours to the big race. Chow o' clock." Cassandra grabs the white dish. Then frowns. "Eugene, did you eat all the bimberries?" She asked Rapunzel's Boyfriend. "No! No, of course not." He said as Valor noticed a purple stain on his teeth. "Then what's that stain on your teeth then?" Eugene tried to hide his mouth. "Stain? What stain?"

Both Valor and Cassandra glare at him. Eugene looks at them. "Okay, so I ate some. I offered to split. Is that a big problem?" He asked. Laughing wryly. "Okay, well, let's think." Cassandra hands the empty dish to Valor. "If Gregorio doesn't get his bimberries before the race, he'll be lethargic, and if he doesn't want to run, the Gopher Grab will be ruined, and I CAN'T HAVE THAT!" Cassandra shouts at him.

"So I'm gonna go with big problem?" Eugene said as Cassandra grabs his collar. "I'd say yes." Valor said. "Find me some bimberries.. now." Cassandra threatens him gritting her teeth. Eugene smiles showing the berry stains on his teeth. "Right, got it." Eugene said making his way out of the tent. "I'll go get you some dimberries. Be right back."

Valor rolls her eyes. Then gasped. "Crap.. sorry Cass, but I got to go. I promised Varian I'd meet in an hour. I don't want to be late." Valor quickly said giving back the food dish. Cassandra sighed. "Your still friends with him?" Valor chuckles. "Yes.. and nothing going change that ever. Look I'll catch up with you guys later." Valor promise and left the tent.

Back at Monty's Shop. Rapunzel was listening as Monty explaining the ribbons on the wall. "And I'm telling you, my great-grandad would have won the Gopher Grab that year, but he was running the wrong way!" As Monty finishes his story they both start to laugh.

"That Grab means a lot to you, huh?" Rapunzel said taking another jelly bean from the jar. "You know, Misty, I've never told this to anyone, but I feel like I can trust you." Monty admits to Rapunzel. "I come from a long line of Gopher Grab champions." Monty takes one of the chocolate Gophers.

"Oh, they used to say that our family had a gift for grab, and it was my dream to carry on our family tradition." Monty explains but then looks down in sadness. "But no matter how hard I tried, that little rascal always managed to slip through my fingers..."

He looks over at the photos of the ribbons. ".And while I've admitted out loud before, sometimes, deep down.." he looks at he chocolate Gopher. "..I can't help but feel ashamed." Monty said as he sets the chocolate Gopher down.

Rapunzel rest her hand on his own. Monty looks over with smile. As the princess returns it. "But that's enough of the weepies. Hey, I know. I've got just the thing to cheer us up." Monty said grabbing Rapunzel's hands. Causing Rapunzel to smile.

*SPLAT* As Monty three a tomato at Rapunzel well a statue of the princess. "Yes! Right in the royal kisser." He said while laughing then throws it agin. Rapunzel laughs lightly. "Wow. You really don't like the princess." Rapunzle said clearly a bit shocked.

Monty reaches for another tomato. "Well, I wouldn't say I don't like her. But I would say I can't stand her." He throws the tomato in his hand. "Why?" Rapunzel asked exasperatedly but quickly counters her tone. "I mean why?"
She asked him a bit less like herself before he could catch on.

"You wanna know why I don't like her?" Monty asked as he grabs another tomato from the bin. "I don't like the princess because.." then the bell rings interrupting them.

Monty gasp, "it's Gopher Grab time! Come on, Misty. Let's go!" Monty took off. "Uh.. Sure you don't wanna finish that sentence?" Rapunzel asked them hurried after Monty. "You know we could watch the Gopher Grab, but it's also not too late to sign up." Rapunzel said.
