Red and Angry are on a warpath. Stealing left and right. They know that Flynn said to stop stealing. But it is too hard to break the habit, so why bother? However, when they are captured by Rapunzel and her gang to follow her to the moonstone, they learn there is more to life than stealing... but is it also too late to save the evil alchemist varian?

What if Varian was never locked in prison. What if instead, the king thought a better punishment for him was to tag along with Rapunzel and the gang following the black rocks. Will he be redeemed or will it send him deeper into villainy? Well you're about to find out. This Second Chance is all he has to make things right again. This will follow most of the storyline for season 2 and maybe season 3 of Tangled: The Series. I don't not own any characters in this story, they belong to Disney.

We all know what happened to Varian in the first season of "Tangled: The Series." He became the villain, was defeated by Rapunzel, and thrown into prison for a whole year. Yes, he redeemed himself and returned for the third season, but the lack of his presence was felt by fans everywhere throughout the entire second season of the show. So what would have happened if he had redeemed himself sooner and been there for the gang's life-changing journey throughout the second season? How would he have reacted to all those adventures he missed? Find out in this AU fanfic! You will see how he deals with his still-suspicious friends, his unrequited crush on Cassandra, and his search for a way to free his father. "Next stop, anywhere!" (Note: All rights go to Disney. This fanfic basically reads like a novelization of the second season, while also adding artwork and my own original Varian content.)
