My first Tangled fic! I must say that I am obsessed with this movie, but I never thought I'd write a fanfic for this category. I tend to stick to musicals and such, so when I actually thought of a story idea I was shocked and I had to write it and post it. I have more written, but I cannot make any promises to when it will be up seeing to as I am ALWAYS busy especially with the end of the school year quickly approaching. It may be up this weekend, depending on how many review and how much feedback I get. That is kind of my thing- feedback and reviews lead to quicker posts because they motivate me to procrastinate schoolwork so I can write fanfiction.

I hope you enjoy! As Always -Greengirl16

Sorry it's a short chapter :\

Eugene groaned as he sat up. What happened? Something heavy pulled down on his right arm. He struggled to move then he saw the silver links that were clanging together. A chain. He was chained to a rail of a staircase. What? How had he-? Rapunzel. The realization made him want to vomit.

He didn't save her. Gothel had stolen her from him, from everyone again. Gothel had stabbed him and Rapunzel had sacrificed her freedom for his life. Why didn't you do something? Eugene mentally cursed himself. He glanced down at his white shirt where a blood stain should have been. It was gone. There was nothing that would have made anyone guess that he had been stabbed. Eugene shuttered. He still was a bit freaked out by Rapunzel's magic hair.

Rapunzel, he had to save her, no he needed to. Gothel had sworn they'd disappear and never be found again, but that wasn't going to stop him. He wasn't going to let that wicked woman use her anymore. Eugene would search every kingdom for the rest of his life if that is what it took to get her back.

He stood up only to walk two steps and collapse back onto the floor. The chains. Eugene pulled his arm as hard as he could. "Stupid…chain!" His arm didn't budge. He sat thinking then spotted a piece of glass in reach. Eugene snatched it and held it up to catch the rays of sun streaming through the skylights in the tower. The mirror directed the beams and concentrated them on the metal chain. The metal chain sizzled then melted off his wrist.

"HA!" he declared, standing up proudly as if he was a hero who had defeated a horrible monster.

"Now to save Rapunzel!" Eugene ran to the window and made the climb down the stone tower.

Which way?

A furious white horse jumped from the bushes wildly neighing.

"Max!" Eugene exclaimed.

Max calmed down and eyed the thief with confusion. 'Where's Rapunzel?' he seemed to ask.

"Gothel took her away."

The horse looked worried.

"Did you see which way they went?"

Max shook his head no.

Eugene sighed. There had to be a clue somewhere! Then he spotted a patch of matted grass and torn up dirt to his far right where it looked like there had been a struggle. It had to be them!

"That way!" Eugene declared, pointing in the direction of the matted grass.

Max perked up, ready for the journey to save Rapunzel.

"May I?" Eugene asked suggesting to Max's bare back.

Max gave Eugene a look that could kill.

Eugene cautiously took a step back.

Max smirked at his reaction and then turned to allow Eugene to climb on.

"Thanks," Eugene said, going to climb on.

Max took a step away, causing Eugene to fall to the ground.

The horse laughed, throwing his head back.

"Very funny," Eugene said sarcastically, narrowing his eyes angrily at the horse.

Finally, Max allowed Eugene to hop on.

"Now, let's go save Rapunzel!"

Max neighed and galloped into the forest. It was time for a new adventure.
