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?

You... really?

[This whole idea with him wanting to protect her is obviously a little odd to Rapunzel.]

What's a Pokemon?

[tothefightingend]

Pokemon are creatures from my world who have special powers. They're great friends if you treat them right. Would you like me to show you one, Miss Rapunzel?

[flower_power]

Do you have one? Is it hiding?

[Sometimes Pascal hid under her hair, after all.]

I'm still new to linking things here, bare with me.

Pokemon rest in little balls like these. [He holds up a Poke Ball, a standard half-red half-white one from his beginner days. Then he presses the center button.

And behold, Clefairy: http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:035Clefairy.png ]

This is a Clefairy. Her name is Faye. Faye, this is Rapunzel.

it's fine! You can use <a href="link here">text here</a> if you want it fancy :)

[flower_power]

Oh my gosh, I've never seen anything like that before! Are you a wizard?

Hello, Faye!

[Rapunzel crouches down to her level, beaming.]

No, Miss Rapunzel. I train Pokemon. Everyone has the equipment to do so where I'm from, and Pokemon like Faye live out in the wild in abundance. It's... just how things are.

[Faye smiles and beams, clearly pleased with the attention.] Clefairy~!
