Cassandra knew she was destined for greatness, but she did not expect this...
Ever since Varian disappeared in the night of the blizzard, Cassandra has been eager to impress her father more than ever, hoping that one day, he'll let her find him... After some mysterious event at Old Corona, she and the others leave to follow the black rocks and find Rapunzel's destiny. She faced many challenges, some rougher than others. We all know once she came out of that door from the House of Yesterday's Tomorrow, she grew bitter towards Rapunzel after being successfully manipulated by Zhan Tiri, asking Cass to steal the moonstone.
But what if she rejected that request?
What if she remained true to herself?
What if she remained loyal to her friends? Her home?
After rejecting such a bitter request, she has to face the consequences. With an imposter on the loose, she, with three of her friends, needs to travel back home to stop the imposter and save the kingdom. What she DOESN'T know is how many challenges she'll face, what dreams she'll have, and most importantly...
...that she's more powerful than she seems...
What if Cassandra never stole the moonstone? What if the Cassandra who DID was a fraud? And the real one got trapped somewhere no one knows of? What if Varian never turned to the dark side? What if, in fact, his dad NEVER got trapped in the amber? Instead, Varian left his manor during the blizzard to go for a walk after his argument with Quirin, but disappeared in the process?
This is what I would think would happen...

This is NOT a ship fic, it mostly focuses on Cassandra's and Varian's friendship, with two other original characters.
