Rapunzel! Rapunzel! Cut off your hair!

Rapunzel's haircut

The sun was shining, the birds were chirping, flowers were blooming. It was a lovely day, but as always Rapunzel was locked up in her tower. The only company she had was her pet chameleon Pascal and of course, her hair. All she had to do was to read books, sing and comb her luscious silky locks. Her hair had much out grown even the room, she could barely even walk around without stepping in a bunch of her hair on the ground!
She had wanted to at least trim it down for a while, but it made her unique, and even if she could cut her hair, the evil witch Gothel would never allow it!
Her hair was beautiful, she didn't know how long it was exactly, but at this point it must have been 100s and 100s of metres long.
She wished she could get out of this tower and explore the world, but she knew it wouldn't happen any time soon.
Until suddenly, she heard shouting from outside!
"Rapunzel! Rapunzel!" She heard a mysterious man's voice call, who could it be?
"Hello?! Hello!!!" Rapunzel shouted back.
"Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair!"
"Why!"
"So I can help you out of there!"
So Rapunzel did exactly that, she threw her head backwards and her hair spiraled all the way down to the floor.
"No Rapunzel, that's not what I mean!"
"Then what do you mean?"
"You need to cut off your hair! It's the only reason Gothel keeps you up there, to escape you must lose it all!"
"That's a big decision! It's so long and soft, some nights I can't help but curl up in it, I've been growing it forever! I've never had a haircut before!"
"It won't hurt, Rapunzel! I promise! And you can keep that hair if you'd like to carry on wrapping yourself up in it at night or whatever you said you do!"
"Gothel said if I cut my hair then bad stuff would happen! What if it does!"
"She's evil, she's using you Rapunzel! Nothing bad will come of it at all!"
"Even if nothing bad would happen, she wouldn't let me anywhere near scissors, I have nothing to cut it with!"
"That's why I brought these, Rapunzel!" The man said as he threw up some haircutting tools. "Use these!"
Rapunzel opened the box and there were scissors, clippers and some other bits and bobs.
"How much must I cut off! A few feet maybe?"
"No Rapunzel, it must all come off! Not a strand can be left! If you want to leave, you must get rid of it all, or there will be no hope for you!"
"Can't I at least leave it touching the ground?"
"No Rapunzel! You have to buzz it all off!"
"How about a bob?! That's way too much for my liking but if it'll get me out of here then I'd be fine with that?"
"For the last time, you need to get it all off!"
"Fine! I don't want to do this but if I have to I will, but I'm gonna take it as slow as I can!"
"Ok, but you don't have much time, m'lady!"
Tears started to drip from Rapunzel's eyes... She'd never had a haircut, nor did she actually fully want one, but she wanted to get out of the tower very badly, and if this is the only way... It'll have to be done.
She wondered which she should use, scissors first, or go straight in with the clippers and shave all her hair off in one go? It was a tough decision but she wanted to make sure she could at least save whatever comes off her head, so she went with the scissors first.
She was really scared. She slowly edged the shears towards her locks in agony, she didn't want to look...
As they got closer, she remembered all the good times she had had with the golden beauty she had grown... It was the closest thing to a friend she'd ever had, unless you'd count a chameleon.
*Snip* *snip* she heard, as she tried to adjust herself to the sound. It was something she'd never ever heard before, it sounded nice if she was honest, but she still didn't trust it. As she brought the scissors right to where her hair was at her hips, she made a snip, but most of the hair wouldn't budge, it was so lusciously thick it wasn't possible to cut through it! So it took quite a few tries to even make an incision into it, but when she did, she felt her head already feel 10 times lighter! It was a relief really, it had put a lot of weight on her shoulders having that overgrown mess. It fell right down on top of the mysterious man.
He thought "oh god how did she have this on her head! It's so heavy! But it feels so good, so I guess that makes up for it!"
"Good job Rapunzel, you're already most of the way there now!"
Rapunzel made the final effort to get through it. It was tough, but in the end she felt much better, but now she's got to go all the way past her chest, her shoulders, and even her chin! It had to all come off!
Before she made any more effort, she held what remained in her arms, as if it were her baby. Even though she knew this was all for the best and it would be over soon, she couldn't help but sob. Her blonde hair practically defined her. She knew she would be nothing without her long fluffy locks.
She decided she would go right up to the level of her breasts next. She adjusted the scissors to a suitable level and *snip* *snip* it was tough to chop through *snip* *snip *snip* and it was all on the floor. She doesn't remember ever seeing her hair this short before, it must have been forever ago.
Next she wanted to go for a bob, just to see what it looked like, she might as well make the best of this unfortunate situation.
"Are you almost finished Rapunzel?! We can't take much longer."
"Almost! If I'm gonna have to shave off all this I've grown I'm going to do it at my own pace and of my own accord."
She had a great idea! She could make a wig out of all this she had cut off, the 100s of feet still in one place would make a great base for a ponytail or extremely long braid, but as a wig rather than on her head, of course. Before she did that though, she had to finish off.
She made a few *snip* *snip* *snips* and then she was left with a bob, guess she needed to get to the shaving now.
She switched on the clippers and with a *click* they started buzzing. They inched towards her scalp and started munching through what remained of her once luscious lengthy locks.
Within a few minutes she'd made her way through and she was now bald! She put her hands on her head in fright but it was so nice and smooth.
It was time for her to leave, it wouldn't be long before the evil witch came.
"Ok I'm finished!" Rapunzel shouted, while still crying.
"Great! Let me see you then!" The man replied.
"Ok..." Rapunzel said as she crept out, ashamed.
"It looks great! Now throw down your hair so it will break your fall!"
Rapunzel threw it all over the balcony and jumped down onto the pile. She picked some up, and made her way to the town with the man.
By the time she'd got there, her hair was already the length of her knees again.
