THERE I WAS, MINDING MY OWN BUSINESS, NOT EVEN WATCHING THE DARN MOVIE...

Um, excuse me? Mun?

It's not that I don't appreciate everything you want to do for me, it's just... well....

Are you really sure that's the best place for me? Mother would be furious. And... and I think she might be right. It doesn't really sound safe. And, as nice as it would be not to have to worry so much about my hair... it's part of me. This power... it's part of me. And it's what makes me... special. [She starts finger combing a small section that she pulls over her shoulder, nervously.]

Besides, it's almost my birthday. Couldn't you, oh, wait another few months? Or years, maybe?

Aw come on sunshine! Where's your sense of adventure?

Mother says it's dangerous, out there. Out here. For me. That's why I've lived in a tower my entire life, because Mother cares about me and wants to protect me.

Isn't that more important than having an adventure?

Ya know they say 4 out of 5 horrible life altering accidents befall people in the home...

[.... squeak!]

Really? They do?

Oh sure~ I'm a doctor you know!

More importantly, there's a great big world out there full of toys and candy and movies and flying and glitter and mallets and animals and doughnuts and kisses and video games and silly hats!!!

Are those.... What are those?

Excuse me, I'm confused. Your mun wants to get rid of your hair for a game? But more importantly: you think that's what makes you special? Everyone is complicated and unique. You're you. That's special, even without the hair.

Well, not get rid of it exactly but....

It's.... It's complicated.

[She's twisting a strand of that hair a little uncomfortably, or maybe just unhappily, as she speaks.]

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you feel bad. I just don't really understand, miss...?

Rapunzel. What's... your name?

[She sounds pretty uncertain with that question, but give her some credit she's never been in the position to ask before.]

My name is Lucas. It's nice to meet you, Miss Rapunzel. [Here, have a small smile. She reminds him of himself back when he first set foot out of Twinleaf Town.]

It's nice to meet you, too, Lucas.

[She gives him a little smile in return, still nervous, but by now it's kind of morphed into a sort of excited-homg-meeting-new-people nervous.]

Yeah...

[Chin stroking, almost thoughtfully, with those big ol' claws of his.]

No way would I let my mun anywhere near my 'do, either!

[Talkin' about that little red tuft of red hair on his head...]

[Squeak! Excuse her, Rapunzel is just gonna hide behind a chair for a bit. Eventually she gathers her courage enough to speak.]

What... are you?

Hrngh?

I ain't a what girly, I'm a who!

The name's Bowser; King Bowser, resident royalty of awesomeness!

Oh. I'm... sorry, you... you just don't really look like anything I've ever seen before.

[Staaaaaaaare.

Stare.

Stare.

Stare.

Stare.

CHEST POKE.]

You have my hair.

[Eyes flick left, to right, back again.]

I'm. Uh. Sorry?

[She pulls up some of her own tower-length hair.]

It's like mine.

Why is it?

So...when's your birthday?

Oh! Well, it's tomorrow.

Tomorrow? Then I wish you an early happy birthday, then! [laughs] What would you want for it?

Oh! Thank you! And... happy early birthday to you, too, whenever yours is! And... what I want?

Well, I mean.... the one thing I really want - the one thing I've, like, been dreaming of, actually, for basically as long as I can remember....

Every year on my birthday there are these floating lights that appear, and I just...

Hopefully Mother will take me to see them. Up closer than from my window. And yes, I know that the world is dangerous, and she's just trying to protect me, but....

Well, if Mother was with me, don't you think...?

I think my birthday's sometime soon, too. So thanks.

Is your mother that strict about keeping you cooped up inside so you CANNOT go see those lights? If so, then she doesn't want your dream to ever come true. Only you can make it happen, without your mother's permission even.

[She instantly turns defensive.

It's not like she doesn't care about me - she won't let me outside because she cares about me too much. The world is a very dangerous place, full of ruffians, and thugs, and people who would want to hurt me, or use me.
