Tangled: Stardust and the 12 Zodiacs (Varian Fanfiction)

Chapter 1: Demanitus' Journal

((This chapter would be rewritten soon))

It was a beautiful sunny day in the kingdom of Corona. The townspeople just doing their jobs or running some errands, some housewives happily chatting with their friends while their children played around them. Some housewives who weren't chatting , were doing their laundry, hanging some clothes to dry in the heat of the sun. Overall, it was a perfect day to be productive.

However....some were..too productive.

BOOM

"Okay...I think..i miscalculated a few things." Varian coughed as he wiped off some of the chemicals that exploded on him. Ruddiger crawled to him and attempted to lick some of the chemicals but Varian shooed him away. "Ruddiger, No! This formula can kill you. Best not to try and lick it."

Varian grabbed one of the dirty handkerchiefs that littered his workspace and proceeded to clean the mess he made. Wiping off the sweat from his brow, he sighed sadly as he wrote about his failed experiment down on his journal.

"Hey, Varian! I heard some explosion earlier are you alright?" A sudden slam of the door followed by a loud voice that startled Varian causing him to let out a girlish scream and falling down. "Oh my gosh, Varian are you alright?"

"Ugh..Rapunzel please knock the next time you enter..you really surprised me there." Varian groaned as he stood up holding his head. Rapunzel helped him up and checked his head for any injuries.

"I'm so sorry! I was just so worried because of that explosion and -"

"Don't worry Rapunzel. Explosions happen all the time when you're an alchemist. " He said cutting Rapunzel off , while brushing off some dirt on his clothes. He then looked at her and smiled warmly. "Thanks for worrying though."

"Aww, it's no problem. You are my friend Varian and it's my job to worry about you." Rapunzel said smiling back at Varian as she put a hand on his shoulder.

"Anyways, how is that experiment of yours?" Rapunzel walked away from Varian and looked around his lab.

"Oh, the experiment.. Uhmm..it was the cause of the explosion earlier." He answered chuckling nervously. "It was a work in progress and i may have miscalculated a bit and yeah...it went boom."

"Well i know you'll figure it out. You are the smartest person i know. You should take a break for a while. Refresh your mind for a bit. Maybe then you can get the formula right this time?" Rapunzel suggested while picking up some trash around the room. "Come out of your lab, get some fresh air."

Varian opened his mouth to say something, but stopped and closed it seeing Rapunzel's stern stare. Ruddiger chitters and jumped to the windowsill in the lab and points outside. Varian looked back at his journal then at Ruddiger and Rapunzel and sighs defeatedly making the latter cheer.

"I guess my work can wait. Come on buddy, let's go outside." Ruddiger jumps off the windowsill and onto Varian's shoulder.

"Great! Just don't be out too late." Rapunzel waves as she left the lab. Varian waved as well and ushered Ruddiger off his shoulder to change out of his work clothes and into some much more presentable clothing. Checking himself out in the mirror, he nodded and grabbed his satchel.

"Come on Ruddiger." He then grabbed the raccoon and went out of the door. Not before grabbing Demanitus's journal. Ruddiger looked at him in a questioning way.

"What? I'm still getting fresh air?" Ruddiger still looked at him skeptically. "Oh don't look at me like that. Come on, let's go."

Walking around the town, Varian grew bored instantly not used to not working in his lab. His mind wandered off to science land imagining all the types of elements and compounds he has yet to discover. All the inventions that can change the human lifestyle. Oh was he so excited to work on some inventions right ---
