Little Eugene. Idek why.

[therewasthisbook]

You have a ton of problems here, you know, like me not looking the same age in these little pictures. And the fact that there's only three of them. And you keep saying you need more headcanon. I don't know what that means, but it sounds like another problem.

...But I guess it's pretty neat that you wanted me.

[Eugene has to smile at his younger self. He's looking none the worse for wear, but he's proud, looking at the kid and looking back.]

Expect that. A lot of people are going to be wanting you.

[therewasthisbook]

...Yeah? 'Cause no--

[Wait. This is weird.]

Uhhh...

[guidethesun]

[He gets down on knee, putting out a hand.]

Eugene Fitzherbert, Prince of Corona, at your service.

[therewasthisbook]

[Eugene just eyes his older self suspiciously.]

Prince?

[guidethesun]

I know. The title is a little glitzy, but if it means all the more that I'm married to my princess--who we do get, by the way, so look forward to that.

[therewasthisbook]

Whoa, really?

I knew it.

[guidethesun]

You should see her. She's everything we didn't expect. More than we deserve.

[therewasthisbook]

What's her name? Where's she from? What's she like?

[...Wait.]

Why don't we deserve her?

[guidethesun]

Hey. Whoa. Wait.

[a laugh.]

Not in the bad sense. In the good sense. Like...she's just so...wonderful that I still can't believe she chose me out of all the others. Granted we did rescue her, but she did most of the work.

[therewasthisbook]

Oh. Oh, alright. That's good.

She sounds really neat.

[guidethesun]

[Eugene reaches into his vest and pulls out a sketch that Rapunzel made for him one day. It's a sketch of herself, looking happy and modest, and Eugene still can't believe how Rapunzel forgot to capture how beautiful her cheeks look when flushed and the way her eyes dance when she smiles.]

This is her. Rapunzel. Our princess.

[therewasthisbook]

Wow...

So... How does it all happen?

[guidethesun]

[Yep. Bask in the glory that is our awesome future, kid.]

That'd be cheating fate to tell you.

[therewasthisbook]

Fine, I guess you're right.

But just because you're me.

[guidethesun]

[He grins.]

Wanna meet her?

[therewasthisbook]

Yeah! I do!

[littlestsundrop]

[shy like the little shy thing she is. hiding behind her hair and peeking out.]

...but what if too many people want you?

[therewasthisbook]

Better than nobody.

[littlestsundrop]

But mother says it could be dangerous.

[therewasthisbook]

Oh, who needs mothers?

[littlestsundrop]

[gasp!]

You don't have a mother?

[therewasthisbook]

[:c]

Like I said, who needs them?

[littlestsundrop]

Well...I do. I don't know what I'd do without mother.

[therewasthisbook]

...Oh.

Well...

You could come to the orphanage.

[littlestsundrop]

Orphanage? What's that?

[therewasthisbook]

It's where kids like me live.

[littlestsundrop]

You mean boys?

[lanternlooking]

[aaaaaah little Eugene. So precious!!!]

It is nice to be wanted, isn't it?

[therewasthisbook]

Yeah... Oh! Wow! You're her!

[lanternlooking]

Her? Her who?

[therewasthisbook]

The lady that the old guy-me had a drawing of! Our princess!

[lanternlooking]

[She laughs softly.]

You've already run into yourself, then?

[therewasthisbook]

Uh-huh!

[lanternlooking]

And what did he tell you?

[therewasthisbook]

That you're the best!

[lanternlooking]

I don't know about the best but that was pretty nice of him. [brownie points for Eugene.]

[therewasthisbook]

So... What's it like to be a princess?

[lanternlooking]

I'm still getting used to it, to be honest.

It's a lot of work, but it feels great knowing I can do my best to help my parents keep the people of Corona happy and safe.

[tonewlengths]

[Shyly, very unsure about this talking to strangers lark]

If there's problems, they can be fixed.

((It might be a little older than you're looking for, but I found this. SORRY FOR ALL THE EDITS it didn't resize very well.))

[therewasthisbook]

(ooc| A bit older, but still very cool and it may well come in handy someday! Thank you!)

I guess so...

[tonewlengths]

So, um! Don't worry about them too much, okay? It can be fun, getting out every so often.

[therewasthisbook]

Yeah, okay. You're not bad.

[tonewlengths]

Thanks! You seem nice too, what's your name?

[therewasthisbook]

Eugene. What's yours?

[tonewlengths]

I'm Rapunzel, it's nice to meet you Eugene.

[therewasthisbook]

...You have a silly name.

[tonewlengths]

[Pouts] I do not.

[therewasthisbook]

Yeah, you do.

But I guess that's okay.

[tonewlengths]

It is okay because it's a good name.
