The 89th Song

[tangledintower]

Hi, City! I've got some new in regards to the Jasmine Dragon!

So, uh...well, Charlie left, so I guess I'm the only one in charge now...and we had to do a lot of repairs and renovations after the worms and the explosion and fire...

But, the renovations and repairs are done! And, well...we're hiring again!

The Jasmine Dragon is looking for people to be servers, help out in the kitchen, and do delivery runs. No experience is necessary, and if you're interested, just come talk to me, or send me a message or something!

It's not just a tea shop anymore. We do baked goods, and lunch, and delivery, and catering too...! So, we need the hands! A lot of our staff has come and gone, which...well, given this place, makes sense, so I guess we're technically always hiring...but I figure it's good to announce it, with the renovations and the reopening and all.

...man, this was a lot easier when Charlie was here to help...

Sorry, I know not everyone gets to go back and see them - or, has them keep showing up here.

Do you miss your friends and family? Except for your mom? [ HE REMEMBERS HER MOM ]

No, it's okay. It must be nice, being able to see them, though...but I guess in the end, we'll all see them eventually, when we leave.

[If. If we leave. BUT HE REMEMBERED HER MOM!! AAH! She bites her lip a bit, shrugging and nodding.]

I didn't really know anybody at home...but I miss the people I did know. I miss the guys from the Snuggly Duckling, I miss Maximus...I really miss Flynn...

Who's Flynn?

[ Friend mode: get. ]

Flynn's Flynn Rider. He's a thief...and his name isn't really Flynn, it's Eugene, but he sort of hates that. So, don't call him that if he ever shows up here...

He's the one who's taking me to see the floating lanterns in the kingdom. It's funny. He broke into my tower, and I think we were only doing this thing at first because we each got something out of it...and now I think it's because we actually like each other.

...I miss him. A lot...

Why, the name's [ LOL ] not so bad.

Floating lanterns? Cool. [ Awesome. Scott listens to the way Rapunzel talks, to what she says, to her kind words. She sounds like she's in love. He remembers how he felt about Allison, how he talked about her. Her he couldn't stop thinking of her. ]

How long has it been since you've seen him?

I like Eugene. It's more honest and more...more him than Flynn Rider is. I told him so.

They're amazing! Every year, on my birthday, there's thousands of them in the sky, and when I go home, I'm going to see them up close, in person! But I send off one or two here on my birthday. It's not the same, but they're still beautiful, floating up there...

[She is in love. She loves Flynn. Loves Eugene. But it's been so long...and she's loved other people since him. But she still cares. And she still misses him.]

...about two or three years. He was here, for a while, when I was first here. He lived next door, and it...it was really nice.
...he's been gone for a while, though...I don't think I'm going to see him again until I go home.

[If. If she ever goes home.]

What'd he say?

If you want, this year I can send one up with you. [ He could wrangle a few others, too. It's a nice thing to do. It's very nontraditional.

Your first love never leaves your heart. He doesn't know what to say. He wants to say he hopes she goes home. But, he wants her to be happy with whomever. ]

I hope you see him again. He means a lot to you.

He didn't mind it, actually. When he was here, he actually sort of liked it...

Really...? I...wow, that'd be nice, actually. Thanks, Scott, I'd like that. [She smiles and nods. Rapunzel knows she's never gonna get thousands of them up here...but she'd like to see a few more.]

He does. I miss him...but I know that, maybe, I'll see him again.

He probably liked that you liked it, too.

Great. Let me know when you're going to do it, then.

You will.

[tangledintower]

I hope so...[She sighs.] I really liked him. But it's been a long time since I've seen him, and I've liked other people too...it feels like I'm betraying him, in some ways...

I will! My birthday isn't until next June, so hopefully I'll still remember.

[affectioning]

You're not. [ Don't worry about that. If it's been months? Scott's spent months away from Allison. He doesn't feel like he's betraying her - not that he's fallen for anyone since. ]

See you in June, then! [ A grin. ] Or, before then, too, but June for the lanterns.

[tangledintower]

I hope I'm not...[She sighs.] It feels like it sometimes, though.

We'll definitely meet up in June, probably meet up before then too, I hope!

[affectioning]

You're not.

[ Not hard. Just pronounced. ]

Of course we'll meet up before then, too.

[tangledintower]

...No. No, I'm not.

[She nods, smiling a little, looking rather relieved.]

Good! I'd hate to not see you for months and months!
