Rapunzel Goes Home (extended edition)
I really love Tangled, but Disney as usual skips right to the happy ending without dealing with all the baggage the princess has to deal with. Rapunzel just wanted to see the floating lights, and all of the sudden she is a princess. How does someone kept in a tower, raised by just one other person, and a chameleon handle doing that? How does she handle having lived her whole life inside a lie? What kinds of effects will Gothel's manipulations have on her? What effect did the kidnapping have on the kingdom and her family?
This is a significant rewrite of Rapunzel Goes Home.

@ The final confrontation between Gothel and Rapunzel.
"It worked," Gothel exulted in her head, and far better then she had hoped, too. Gothel tossed the flowers from Rapunzel's hair out of the window; put the basket down by her cloak, and practically skipped to the kitchen. Her Flower, Rapunzel, had even said she had never wanted to leave the tower again, not as good as a promise, but close enough. They were safe, and the Flower was safe. They could be happy together.
Gothel is in the kitchen, getting things ready to make the hazelnut soup, she had promised Rapunzel for her b

@ Eugene explains why he left and why he cut Rapunzel's hair.
Author's Note: I'm not skipping over the climax of the movie, but we've all seen that, details will come out, but they will come later.
Rapunzel was kissing Eugene on the floor of the tower. He was alive again!
Rapunzel had wanted to kiss Eugene so often and now she finally had.
It was the most wonderful kiss in the whole world.
Her heart felt like, like
Rapunzel broke free and started hitting Eugene repeatedly with her small fists. "You left and you ripped my heart in half and left it on the beach! You

After a while Rapunzel sat up again, from being cradled in the arms of her new dream. "Eugene, I have something to tell you."
Eugene got really nervous, those were never good words. "Yes," he said cautiously.
"I'm the Lost Princess."
"Ah, what? How? What?"
"Eugene, I am the Lost Princess," she said again more slowly.
"And how did you figure that out?"
"That little sun banner you gave me. I was holding it up and then I started seeing suns all over my room, suns I had painted into all my painting, all my life. Then I had a vision of the king and queen and a

@ Max needs some help, Rapunzel learns something about her power, Eugene and Pascal help too.
Rapunzel heard panting behind her. She turned and saw Max, his head down, his breathe coming in pants and he was sweating. "Oh, no Max, what's wrong?"
His look told her he was so very tired and he needed help.
Rapunzel swept back her hand and it came back empty again. She looked at her empty hand trying to comprehend why it kept doing that.
Frustration welled up in her soul. Clenching her fist around empty air as tears came to her eyes.
"I'm sorry Max, I can't help you.

By the time they were done rubbing him down Max was looking better, but still seemed very tired.
"Well, that's the best we can do for him with what we have. We are going to have to get him back to the palace where they can take proper care of him, but it will take most of the day to get there. We'll have to walk him slowly so he doesn't get hurt," said Eugene as they had rubbed off the last of the sweat with Rapunzel's winter wool blankets.
Rapunzel nodded, she was working on Max's side so she wouldn't have to look at Mother's dust and clothes at the base of the

They are walking through the forest when a squad of palace guard comes pounding through the forest following Flynn Rider's trail. Eugene pushes Rapunzel behind him as the guards surround them, pointing their Mark IV double recurve crossbows at him.
"We have you now, Flynn Rider!" shouts a guard.
Eugene eased his hands up.
"Eugene?" asks Rapunzel worriedly, not sure what is going on, but it felt so dangerous.
"How sure are you that you are the Lost Princess?" Eugene asks quietly.
"Totally sure," said Rapunzel, but she is scared.
"You better be, or there'll be

Rapunzel, Eugene and the escorting palace guards walk into the Lost Princess Testing Chamber.
Rapunzel was curious, she'd never seen a Testing Chamber before. There was a person by the door. The rectangular room was a little bigger then her tower had been. There were tall windows looking outside and a marble fireplace. There was a desk and several chairs in front of it.
She wondered why all the rooms seemed to be rectangles when the Tower was round.
The walls were white with fancy borders. She wondered why they weren't painted like her tower was. It looked so pl

Mortimer Danberry, seneschal to the kingdom of Corona, was walking to the Testing Chamber, because another Lost Princess candidate had come to the palace.
Mortimer had been in the service of the King for nearly 30 years, and had worked very hard for them. He was a rotund man with a fringe of gray hair around his balding head.
His princess warning network, a series of observant people around the city to warn him of incoming princess claimants, had sent a message. They had warned him that some guards were escorting a declared princess, in the company of Flynn Rider no le

The seneschal, Mortimer Danberry and the Lock Maid, Margaret, entered the Testing Chamber and paused, the maid moved to one side of the doors, ready to see to their comfort. The Lock Guard next to the door was expected, but the girl and her man; not so much.
The man was indeed Flynn Rider; with a handsome nose the wanted posters never seemed able to capture. This was not how the seneschal ever expected to find Flynn Rider in the palace.
The girl was a totally different matter. After 18 years of blonde princess candidates coming to be tested this was the first time
