ALL CHARACTERS BELONG TO TANGLED THE SERIES AND DISNEY, COVER ART DOES NOT BELONG TO ME
The gang looked up at the castle, after months of being away from home rapunzel looked with glee, she forgot all about lady Caine's warning. She ran up into the streets of corona "oh my gosh i didn't realized how much i missed this place, oh the sweet shop and the bakery!" Rapunzel frantically ran around admiring every last detail about her home. "You know what i missed the most about corona? The people... as a matter of fact, I'm still missing the people." Lance said watching the princess jump around. His words made everyone realize something obvious, there was no one in the streets! The day they left corona was so full of life and and joy, now it seemed as if it were abandoned. Like all life had been sucked out of the place. "Let's go to the castle, maybe we can get some answers out of my mom and dad." Rapunzel looked determined yet scared. She knew something bad was happening but she couldn't figure out what.

Rapunzel and Eugene opened the throne room doors together excited to reunite with her parents she ran up to them. "Mom! Dad! I cant believe it's actually you! I missed you guys so much!" She hugged her parents not noticing their blank expressions. Once she pulled away it was clear to her that her parents weren't feeling the same joy she was. "Um, Fredrick, do we know this girl?" Queen Arianna tried to whisper but it was clear that everyone in the room heard. "I don't believe so..." the king responded with a clear look of confusion on his face.  "What? Mom... Dad you know me. I'm your daughter!" Rapunzel was confused, was this some kind of sick joke? When her parents faces didn't change she spoke again "you really don't remember me?"
"No no they don't" Rapunzel turned quickly at the new voice and was met with her friends being held by a group of Saporians, andrew standing in front. "What do you mean they don't remember me?" Rapunzel ran down the steps to face him. "Wow you really are slow... we wiped their memories obviously." Andrew said with a chuckle turning to clementine. She held up the Saporians memory wand. "No! How could you do this!"
"It was pretty easy actually, all we had to do we rig explosions. Get clementine to the queen and king and then boom, I'm their newest advisor and everyone in corona must answer to me." The look on the mans face was sinister. "Well actually, because Rapunzel is back her subjects should technically answer to her before they answer to you so..." lance called out from his restraints. "Hm well all i'd need to do it wipe her memory as well... thanks for the tip bud." Andrew smiles back and lance who went red with embarrassment. "Rapunzel run!" Eugene yelled to his girlfriend. And that's what she did, or tried at least, andrew grabbed her by her hair and yanked her back. He over powered her easily. "Any last words princess?" Clementine began to wave her wand and Rapunzel struggled against andrew to no avail. Clementine just began to speak the spell when the throne room doors flew open. There stood a figure with a good covering his face. He was short and scrawny. Everyone turned to look at him and while Rapunzel and her friends stared in confusion, andrew knew immediately who the boy was, his face scowling in anger. The figure moved with grace towards the group reaching into his bag.
