The 72nd Song [Accidental Video]

[Rapunzel's sitting on the edge of her bed, hands in front of her face, looking very lost and confused...and sad.]

I just...no, I do believe you, I just...I've never met you before, it's a lot to take in.

[She sighs, rubbing her eyes slightly.]

I know you're not real, but...it's nice to see you. Even if it's just for a day.

[She pauses, as if listening to somebody, before laughing.]

Really? I look like her? Even with the hair...?

[That makes her smile warmly, shaking her head.]

...I've never had a dad before...

You seem to be getting along alright...

It was...confusing at first. This is the first time I've ever met my dad.

[And not because he abandoned her or was dead or anything, either.]

You're lucky. I don't remembder my father either... but who the City sent wasn't him.

Oh...I'm sorry, Raiden. Did you know whoever it was that the City sent?

No.

[Liar.]

I'm sorry...that's got to be disappointing.

Not really.

Oh. Well, at least it's only for today, right?

Hopefully.

[ Toph has had a stressful day, but at least someone's happy. ]

So way better than the crazy mom, huh? I'm glad.

Way better. How about you?

[She knows Toph has issues with her parents, and she hopes her friend is doilg all right.]

--Not great. I mean, it's nice to see my dad again, but -- you know, you have a good time. Don't worry about it.

...I know it's just a curse and everything, so I don't know if he can hear me, but...

Mr. Bei Fong? Your daughter is a great person. She's easily one of the toughest people I know, and it's an honor to work for her and call her my friend. I know you're worried about her...but we all look out for each other here!

[ Aww, Rapunzel. ♥ You warm the cockles of Toph's stony heart. You are so getting an affectionate punch at work tomorrow. ]

Thanks, Runaway. I don't know how he could argue with that.

[:D that's what friends are for, Toph! We stick up for each other and punch each other in the arms.]

Anytime, Boss. It's what friends are for!

If your dad sticks around for a bit, I want to meet him, okay?

Of course! I'd love you to meet him!

[For now, though...she wants to learn all about the family she was taken from.]

[Oh... That last line. He knows that one.]

Never had a dad?

Well...it's complicated.

I guess I've always had one, and he's always loved me, but I never knew him or knew anything about him.

[Trying to explain her family circumstances is weird.]

[He doesn't find it all that weird though.]

Mine didn't know he had a son until I met him two years ago. Why didn't you know him?

I was kidnapped as a baby and raise by somebody else.

[That's the very, VERY short version.]

Oh.

[...WHAT DO YOU SAY TO THAT?]

I'm sorry?

It's okay. I didn't know until I got here...and I won't remember when I leave.

[Which means she has to find it out ALL OVER AGAIN.]

[He'll just... try to be encouraging.]

I'm sure you'll find out again.

Yeah...I'm sure I will.

[AND IT'LL SUUUUCK.]

At least you'll have him then.

Yeah, that's true....something good will come out of all of this in the end.

Good things usually come out of what's bad, in some way.

I've learned that, living here.

I think it's a good thing to keep in mind.

I think so too.

So... Take care of yourself, in the meantime?

You too, okay!

Yeah, I will.
