Sunlit Moon (Varian x OC. Complete! [sequel cancelled for now.])

My Happiness lies with you.

"King Frederick, Queen Arianna, as the captain of the Corona royal guard I have sworn to defend this kingdom against all who threaten it but as a father, I cannot face my daughter in battle and so it with a heavy heart that I...retire from my post." The whole room fell into stunned silence as The captain made his announcement.

"Captain, you have served Corona with dignity and pride for so many years, thank you."

"And we respect your decision." The King and queen graciously accepted the Captains resignation,

"And as for my replacement, it was a very difficult decision. There are so many qualified guards."

"Can we get some water over here?" Artemis, Eugene and Rapunzel looked to where Stan stood, holding Pete from hitting the floor.

"Have any of these guys ever successfully guarded anything?" Lance nudged Eugene and Artemis jabbed him in the ribs, "They caught you, didn't they?"

"Touché."

"My replacement has put his life on the line for Corona countless times and so it is with utmost confidence that I recommend Eugene Fitzherbert." Artemis bit back a laugh as her older brother spit his tea onto the captain's helmet,

"Wha—?!" Lance draped an arm over his long time friends' shoulder, "Ha Ha! Captain Fitzherbert, I like the sound of that. Hey, uh, buddy, I have a few outstanding citations, so if those could somehow, you know, disappear?" Artemis grabbed lance by the Ear, "Here's an idea...don't commit crimes you don't want to pay for."

"Ow! You know, you're pretty strong for someone so small." Artemis merely smiled, "I know...All those years of hauling Varian to his room really built muscle."

"What do you say, Fitzherbert?"

"Me?!"

"Me, Captain of the guards?" Artemis and Rapunzel sat perched on Eugene's bed, "What is he thinking?"

"That you're the perfect choice!" Artemis looked at the helmet Rapunzel was holding up, "She's right, and you know it. You know the Streets of corona just as well, if not better than the captain, and on top of that, you're a reformed thief, so catching the baddies will be a piece of cake."

"Oh, L-look, look I'm flattered by everyone's support, I really am, it's just that me? Come on. Artemis said it herself, I was a legendary thief, I was Flynn Rider."

"You were Flynn Rider, now you're Eugene. Maybe...give this captain thing a shot." Artemis climbed off the bed as heavy foot fall filled the corridor,

"Where's the fire?"

"Come on, let's check over here!" The three poked their heads out the bedroom door, "Whoa, hey, what's the commotion?"

"The princess' crown, it's been stolen."

"Uh...A little more specificity, Stan?" he looked at the teen, he had almost forgotten that there were now two princesses in the Palace,

"Rapunzel's Crown, Again." Stan gave a quick bow of his head before taking off again, Rapunzel's face stretched into a grin, "Oh, sounds like the kind of thing the captain of the guard might handle, huh?" Eugene looked unenthusiastic as Rapunzel nudged him in the ribs,

"For the record," He pushed her back a bit, "I have not yet accepted that position."

"Fine, I'll got find Rapunzel's crown while you sit and cry about possibly the best job you could have, you know, other than being a foreign monarch."

"Why don't you go see that boyfriend of yours? I'm sure he'd be a lot more appreciative of that sarcasm." He started pushing her down the hallway,

"Maybe I will, and maybe we'll find the Crown on our own, Or maybe we'll do other things, alone, while Quirin is gone." A cheeky smirk crossed her face as Eugene's eyes shot wide open, "No. No, no, no. Actually, now that I think about it, you're better of here, where hormonal teenage boys can't touch you." Artemis laughed at the over protective charade he was putting on.
