Transcript:
On a peaceful summer day, Varian, Cassandra, Victor, Lara, Ginny, and Toby were all tidying up the house.

Cassandra: This house has to look especially nice for the house inspections Rapunzel set up.

Lara: But I don’t know why she would set up house inspections!

Varian: It’s an old tradition the royals do. When King Frederic and Queen Arianna ruled, they had to inspect my house I lived in with my dad a lot.

Cassandra: Probably because of all the explosions…

Varian shrugged.

Just then, a strong wind blew.

Ginny: What was that?

Toby: I’m scared!

Victor: Don’t worry. It’s just the wind.

Lara: Yeah! I can’t believe you’re scared of a little wind!

Cassandra: Anyways, this house will look absolutely perfect.

Meanwhile, at the tower that Rapunzel was held hostage at, Zhan Tiri found the dust that Mother Gothel became when she fell out of the tower.

Zhan Tiri: Perfect! I now shall resurrect my old pupil and get her to destroy Cassandra and Rapunzel!

Zhan Tiri laughed evilly.

Meanwhile, at the Fitzherbert castle, Rapunzel, Eugene, Lance, Anxelin, and Ruby were setting the table for their epic feast.

Rapunzel: This will be the best meal yet!

Eugene: Especially since my pal, Lance is here!

Lance: How could I miss this? Corona is finally back on its feet...well. More so back on its feet since my buddy and his beautiful wife began ruling Corona!

Anxelin: And I hope to follow in the footsteps of my mother!

Ruby: No! I do!

Rapunzel: Girls, this isn’t a competition. BOTH of you will rule at some point!

The strong wind that passed through the Miller’s home passed through the castle.

Rapunzel: Brrr… Are any of you cold? Cause it’s cold in here.

Eugene: It’s not THAT cold…

Ruby: Yeah. Mother, are you feeling alright?

Lance: Well, it actually IS a bit chilly!

Anxelin: Yeah! Can we close the windows?

Rapunzel: Oh, but it’s so stuffy with the windows closed! We’ll be fine.

~ ~ ~

Meanwhile, Zhan Tiri was on top of the castle’s roof.

Zhan Tiri: They won’t be fine for long. Corona WILL fall today!

Zhan Tiri laughed evilly and shape-shifted back into her wind form, and flew away.

Meanwhile, at the Miller home, Varian, Cassandra, Victor, Lara, Ginny, and Toby were sprucing up their garden.

A letter came flying down.

Varian caught it and read it.

Varian: The families of Varian and Cassandra and Rapunzel and Eugene are invited to a fun little feast at Mother Gothel’s cottage! Feel free to bring your own food and drinks! This letter will now self-destruct.

Varian looked confused as the letter self-destructed in his hands.

Cassandra: No way am I going.

Victor: Why not, mother? We never met Grandma Gothel!

Cassandra: And there’s a reason for that. She died because she was too absorbed in looking young. So much she abandoned ME as a kid to kidnap Rapunzel to use for her hair!

Lara: So that’s what happened! I always thought she got mauled by bears.

Cassandra chuckled.

Cassandra: Man. I wish. THAT would’ve been a whole lot funnier.

Ginny: So? Are we going?

Toby: I’d like to see Ruby again. I bet she’ll look stunning…

Varian: Come on, Cassie. Likely your mother will be still completely dead and of a distant memory for most people.

Cassandra: I guess so. But I’m NOT willing to take that chance. BUT I’ll still go! It could be fun!

~ ~ ~

Meanwhile, at the Fitzherbert castle, Rapunzel, Eugene, Anxelin, and Ruby got the same letter.

Rapunzel caught it and read it.

Rapunzel: The families of Varian and Cassandra and Rapunzel and Eugene are invited to a fun little feast at Mother Gothel’s cottage! Feel free to bring your own food and drinks! This letter will now self-destruct.

Eugene: Self-destruct?

The letter self-destructed.

Anxelin: Well, mother? Will you take us?

Ruby: I never went to a real feast before!

Rapunzel: But you attend ours all the time!

Ruby: I know… But not a feast that someone ELSE invites us to!

Eugene: Hey, it could be fun…

Rapunzel: Or not. I believe I told you about the story about Mother Gothel. How she locked me up in a tower for 18 years?

Ruby: I think you did. That was my bedtime story every night when I was a baby!

Anxelin: Mine too!

Rapunzel: Okay. So I did tell you that story. This smells like a trap.

Eugene: Or not. We could enjoy some great food and catch up with our friends!

Rapunzel: You know what? You’re right, Eugene! We only live once, after all! Let’s just enjoy ourselves!

~ ~ ~

Meanwhile, Zhan Tiri heard both families and evilly chuckled.

Zhan Tiri: They won’t enjoy themselves for long… Corona WILL fall tonight!

Zhan Tiri laughed maniacally.

Later on, Varian, Cassandra, Rapunzel, Eugene, and the kids all made it to the feast with their favorite dishes.

Varian: This place looks a little deserted.

Eugene: Yeah. It gives me the creeps.

Lara: Eh. I don’t care! Let’s dig in!

Lara grabbed a chicken leg and began eating it.

A strong gust of wind blew by.

Cassandra: There is that pesky wind!

Rapunzel: Where is it coming from?

Just then, Zhan Tiri popped out.

Zhan Tiri: Surprise! Missed me?

Both families spit out their drinks.

Cassandra: ZHAN TIRI?!

Lara: Wait - who is this being?

Ruby: We need answers. NOW!

Zhan Tiri: Isn’t that cute? You brought your children. Good. They’ll be a good dessert for me and a special little friend… Come on out, Gothel…

Both families (in unison): GOTHEL?!

Mother Gothel came out. She looked very young and healthy - much unlike how Rapunzel and Cassandra left her previously.

Cassandra: Mother! How are you still alive?

Rapunzel: And how did you stay so young?

Mother Gothel: Oh, don’t be silly, girls! My master, Zhan Tiri resurrected me and gave me a total makeover! I’m as good as new!

Zhan Tiri: Yes! Now Gothel will help me destroy Corona!

Mother Gothel: The one place that turned their back on me!

Lara: So let me get this straight… THIS is our grandma?

Toby: What the heck is going on here?

Ginny: I thought she was dead…

Victor: This is NOT how I expected to meet your mother, Mother…

Mother Gothel: ENOUGH! All you kids are coming with me.

Rapunzel: NO! I will NOT let you kidnap my precious Anxelin and Ruby, only for you to do to what you did to ME for 18 years!

Cassandra: And I LOVE my kids. Anything you want to do to them, I won’t let you!

Varian: Yeah! So be gone!

Mother Gothel turned to Zhan Tiri.

Mother Gothel: It’s so cute they think they have a choice.

Zhan Tiri: Yeah! Now take those brats!

Mother Gothel went up to Anxelin and Ruby.

Mother Gothel: Anxelin, Ruby. You two are coming with me…

Anxelin: No way!

Mother Gothel: Do as I say...cause Mother knows best!

Ruby: Not this mother! We really would prefer OUR mother!

Just then, Rapunzel, Eugene, Varian, and Cassandra disappeared.

Anxelin and Ruby turned around to see Rapunzel and Eugene gone.

Anxelin: Where’s our parents?

Ruby: Yeah! What did you do to them, WITCH?!

Lara: Our parents are gone too!

Victor: This is MADNESS!

Ginny: Bring them back!

Toby: NOW!

Zhan Tiri: That’s cute. But your parents are, let’s just say, in a sticky situation.

Mother Gothel pointed to the ceiling as the kids looked up.

Rapunzel, Eugene, Varian, and Cassandra were upside down and stuck to the ceiling with glue or some other sticky adhesive. They were also tied together and gagged.

Victor: You let our parents go right now!

Anxelin: YEAH!

Zhan Tiri: Oh, do you REALLY think we’d let them go?

Mother Gothel: They might as well just die up there for what they did to me!

Zhan Tiri: Exactly what I was thinking!

Zhan Tiri snapped her fingers. All of the food was gone.

Lara: Hey! What did you do with our food?!

Zhan Tiri: Gothel and I will have a nice feast as we watch you all get crushed to death…

Zhan Tiri snapped her fingers. She and Gothel both left with the food. The walls also started to slowly close in on the kids, and their parents up on the ceiling.

Victor: Okay. We need to think quickly and get our parents out of here...AND US!

Lara: But how?! The walls are closing in on us!

Ginny: I’m scared!

Ruby: Me too!

Anxelin: We just gotta think positive, guys!

Ruby: What good will that do?

Toby: I GOT IT! Guys. I think I have an idea!

Victor: What is it, bro?

Toby took out a potion from his pocket and drank it.

Toby: Now I have the ability to walk on walls. Observe…

Toby walked up the walls and the ceiling and found Rapunzel, Eugene, Varian, and Cassandra.

Toby took the tape off of the parents’ mouths and took out another potion and spilled it all over the ceiling.

Toby: Now CATCH OUR PARENTS! QUICKLY, COME ON, COME ON!

The rest of the kids found a big, soft, and extremely thick blanket and held it to the ceiling where the parents were.

Rapunzel, Eugene, Varian, and Cassandra all fell off the ceiling and onto the blanket.

Rapunzel: Thanks kids!

Varian: And Toby… did you STEAL my potions?!

Toby grimaced.

Varian: I don’t care! Come down so we can celebrate!

Toby pointed at the walls, which continued to move.

Toby: We can celebrate later! Let’s get outta here!

Toby ran across the ceiling, back down the wall, and went out the door.

The rest all followed Toby out.

Mother Gothel and Zhan Tiri were outside eating all of Varian, Cassandra, Eugene, and Rapunzel’s food.

Rapunzel: Fun’s over!

Cassandra: Yeah! You two will pay!

Varian: Oh, you will pay!

Eugene: Yeah! You literally GLUED us to the ceiling!

Rapunzel: And caused the walls to almost SQUEEZE us!

Varian: Luckily Toby here saved us all!

Varian ruffled Toby’s hair, as he smiled.

Toby: You two should be ashamed of yourselves!

Zhan Tiri: Are you ashamed, Gothel?

Mother Gothel smirked.

Mother Gothel: No! Are you ashamed, Zhan Tiri?

Zhan Tiri grinned evilly.

Zhan Tiri: No.

Cassandra: JUST GET OUT OF HERE!

Eugene: YEAH! Just leave or, you’ll have to face Ruby.

Ruby cracked her knuckles and looked intimidating.

Zhan Tiri: Oh really. A little girl can defeat US?

Ruby hissed at the two villains.

Mother Gothel: Okay! WE are leaving!

Zhan Tiri: But we’ll be back! Mark my words!

Mother Gothel: And next time, I WON’T go so easy on you!

Zhan Tiri: Neither will I!

Zhan Tiri and Mother Gothel flashed out.

The kids all looked scared.

Rapunzel: Oh, it’s going to be okay!

Cassandra: Yeah. Zhan Tiri and my horrific mother won’t bother you or anyone else again…

Varian: Cause we’ll take care of them!

Eugene: I dunno… They give me the creeps!

Rapunzel: But Eugene! We’ve dealt with them before!

Eugene: I know. Let’s just go home!

Rapunzel: Come on, Anxelin, Ruby…

Rapunzel and Eugene left with Anxelin and Ruby.

Victor: We should go home, too, mother.

Lara: This place is horrifying!

Cassandra: Okay, okay. But I think a nice trip to Tirapai Island would relax us all!

Varian: Splendid idea!

Varian, Cassandra, and the kids all headed out of Gothel’s cottage and headed towards the destination of Tirapai Island.
