Quickly, if we go back the way we came, he might not see us. (tells Eugene)
Wait. (removes the cap and sees the library) (takes a halberd from King Frederic and walks to the library) Follow my lead. (tells King Frederic) (King Frederic sighs deeply and walks after Eugene) (Eugene and King Frederic are spotted by King Trevor)
Well, well. (King Frederic turns around) It appears someone hasn't learned their lesson yet.
Okay, okay, look, you got us. This one is completely our fault. (elbows King Frederic)
Ooh! Yes! Uh, we wanted to pull some sort of prank, so that all this wouldn't be in... vain.
Uh, really? And, and what were you gonna do in there, pray tell? (points to the door behind Eugene and King Frederic)
Well I thought it'd be funny to slip into the library and rearrange the periodicals. Historians hate that.
That is the worst idea for a prank I have ever heard! And in true Coronan fashion, you would've failed! Again! (points the other door) That's the real door to the library!
Uh, no, nope. No, it's not. (checks his map) I'm pretty sure this is the library. (points to the door behind him) (King Trevor facepalms)
You imbecile! This is my castle! I know where my library is! (Eugene turns around)
Meh! Agree to disagree. (King Trevor puts his hand on Eugene)
I'll prove it. (walks between Eugene and King Frederic to open the door) (Eugene and King Frederic turn around) You see-- (trap door opens and he falls into it) (he screams and thuds) (Eugene sees the trap door after King Trevor fell into)
(laughs) Forgot about your own top-notch security for a second, didn't ya? (tells King Trevor after he fell into the trap door)
Well played, Eugene! Very well played! Up high. (chuckles) (gives Eugene a high five)
(gasps) (gives King Frederic a high five) Yeah!
Let me up, Frederic! There's spiders down here! Spiders! Ah! One just touched me! (Trevor Jr. barks) Trevor Jr., are you clapping? (Eugene puts his map away) Those had better be claps of sorrow!
Would you look at that. (Trevor Jr. claps) I've finally humiliated Trevor!
Oh, Your Majesty! We have not yet begun to humiliate that guy. (referring to King Trevor)
(groans) (he and King Frederic smile at each other) Ahh.
KFKing Frederic and Eugene
Huh? (they see the archway has been painted by Rapunzel)
Oh, my. (Rapunzel appears)
Gotcha, Dad! (laughs) Oh, man, you should see the look on your face right now.
Well, I suppose it's fine. As long you girls repaint the archway. By nightfall. (tells Rapunzel and Cassandra)
Of course, Your Majesty. (King Frederic walks away) Well, Raps, you finally figured out this whole prank thing. (tells Rapunzel)
It was unexpected, clever, funny, and mischievous, but you overlooked one thing of the most important parts of any good prank. (points the archway) (tells Rapunzel) You didn't think it through. (tosses a paintbrush to Rapunzel) We both still have to repaint the archway by nightfall, remember? (Rapunzel gives her the paintbrush)
Sorry, but I've got princess duties to attend to. Looks like you're gonna have to do all by yourself. Still believe I didn't think it through? (starts to walk away after telling Cassandra) (Cassandra pulls both of her sleeves up and puts the paintbrush inside the paint) (starts repainting the archway) Kidding! (returns to the archway after pranking Cassandra) (Cassandra drops the paintbrush after she is terrified then she picks it up) You just got pranked! (points to Cassandra) Ha-ha! I totally got you! You should've seen the look on your face! (puts her hand out)
I just got Rapunzelled. (gives Rapunzel the paintbrush to start repaint the archway) Well played, Raps. Very well played. (Eugene walks to the archway holding a paintbrush and a bucket of paint to help Cassandra and Rapunzel) (Cassandra holds her paint bucket while Eugene puts his paint bucket on the floor then he holds the paint bucket for Rapunzel)
Well, Your Majesty, did you do it? Did you get the seal? (asks King Frederic)
Unfortunately, no, Captain. However, Eugene came up with something far better. (tells the Captain of the Guards while walking away)
Hey Cassie! Hey, you wanna see my new invention? (asks her) Rumor has it, it is a shoo-in for the first prize in the contest. (whispers) I started the rumor. (tells her)
Oh. Hey, Varian. First off it's Cass not Cassie. Secondly, I'm slammed so--
Oh, yeah, I-- I hear ya. Hey, did I tell you that my invention can create an entirely new element? I call it-- (Stan appears)
Cassandra!, I thought you should know, the Captain is short on guards for the expo. This could be your big chance! (tells Cassandra) (she smiles while sliding down the ladder)
Come on, let's go! (leaves with Stan while Varian sees them running to the castle) (Owl hooting when he holds the rope after it unties) (Varian hears Owl trying to hold the rope and he runs to the ladder and climbs it to help Cassandra's pet then he takes the rope from Cassandra's pet and ties to the pole)
Cassandra! Lookin' good! (Varian hears Rapunzel then he sees her and Eugene) You should see some of the inventions on display. Look at these crazy goggles. (turns the lens on) Oh. Hi, Varian! (removes the goggles from her head and sees him then he smiles) (Varian climbs off the ladder and jumps to the ground and turns around) I haven't seen you since we...
Since your last invention almost killed us. (completes Rapunzel's sentence) So glad you're here. With looks like another invention.
Please, I wouldn't miss a chance to promote the merits of alchemy. And wait until you see my invention. I think, uh, everyone at the expo will be impressed. (tells Rapunzel and Eugene) (chuckles) Cassandra's gonna be here, right? Not that I'm doing this for Cassandra! (Varian reveals his crush on Cassandra to Rapunzel and Eugene when Varian blushes) (chuckles) But, yes, she's gonna be there, right? (asks Rapunzel and Eugene)
No, no, no! We'll need men here! We'll put guards here, and... Does this mean we're out of real guards, too?
Blasted! This exposition of science is just spreading our ranks too thin. (Maximus grunts) We need more guards!
(clears throat) (he sees Cassandra) (door closes) (Maximus grunts)
I'll need the room. (Pete, Stan and Maximus exit) So, you want your first guard assignment. We've talked about this, Cassandra. I just don't know that you're ready. (tells her)
Dad, I've been training with the guards since I was six. I know castle procedures and protocol better than anyone, so if there's any other reason why you feel I'm not ready besides me being your daughter, I'm all ears. (tells him)
Your lady-in-waiting duties come first. Only after you've finished those, including setting up for the expo, may you help. Are we clear?
Crystal. (Sees her long list of chores and groans)
Come on, come on, come on! (pulling Eugene) (gasps) Ooh. Oh, whoa. Wow. Whoa! That makes flipping flapjacks look like a piece of cake! (laughs) Or should I say pancake?
SIStilt Inventor
Ladies and gentlemen, forget everything you know about spring-loaded stilts!
Mmm! Fresh from this goat's body and into my tummy. (Everyone groans in disgust)
FPFernanda Pizazzo
Attention, science lovers! I am the one and only Fernanda Pizazzo! Yes. Thank you, thank you. You may ask yourselves what revolutionary, stupendous invention lies behind this veil? You're about to find out when revered master scientist, and handsome morsel, Dr. Alcott St. Croix arrives to name my entry into this contest first prize!
There you are, Cass-not-Cassie. We, uh, we didn't finish our conversation from earlier. (tells Cassandra)
(chuckles) Oh, you! Seriously, I'm getting ready for the expo, and I think you'll be pretty impressed with my invention, yeah. The only thing is, when I present it to Master Dr. St. Croix, it's gonna take two people to operate it. Hey! Wanna be the assistant for my demonstration? (asks her)
Assistant? What? Assis-- No. Look. (accidentally spills grape juice on the tablecloth and gasps) No! I can't catch a break today. (leaves with the cup of grape juice and the pitcher) (Varian pours salt and drops of water from the flowers' stems over the stain, making it disappear then he puts the flowers back into the vase and he puts the glass tube of salt then Cassandra brings a rag to wipe the table cloth). Varian, thanks for stopping by, but I, wha--? Huh? The stain. It's gone! But how? (asks)
Oh, simple. Grapes are acidic, by combining the alkalinity from the flowers' barley grass with rock salt, I was able to stop the stain's adhesion. Alchemy! (tells Cassandra)
So, you've got a knack for this kind of thing. Any chance you'd want to...
Help you? Yes! I, I mean, I'd-- I'd love to. Hey! If, If I help you, you can help me and be my assistant! It'll only take a minute! (tells Cassandra)
Great! We-- We can be, uh, co-ladies-in-waiting. A-ha! (Cassandra gives him a pile of laundry)
Let's not put a label on it. (tells Varian while she dusts her hands off then walks away) (a rag falls on the ground)
Okay, so for my first invention, I wanted to start off with something small and simple.
Uh, can he take his tiny little claws off my eyes now? (asks Rapunzel)
Oh! Yeah! Pascal? (tells him)
PPascal
(squeaking) (removes his claws from Eugene's eyes)
I give you the Hey-Hey! When I was in the tower, I devised a way to play catch by myself using a ball and string. Now, I believe, I've perfected that design. How does it work? Glad you asked. It's powered by potential and kinetic energy. Science. Hey-Hey! Hey-Hey!
Huh. Rapunzel, that's really amazing, but it's already been invented.
Hmm. Okay. (holds her invention while feeling down then puts it on the table) I guess I'll chalk that up to being locked in a tower for 18 years. Good thing I have lots more amazing ideas where that came from. (leaves)
I believe this was meant for you. (picks up the first prize ribbon from the ground then puts it on his apron and he smiles)
And, um, this was meant for you. (gives her a Cassandrium necklace then she wears the present)
Thanks. And, Varian, about putting my own ambition in front of our friendship, I'm sorry. (apologizing to him)
It's It's okay, Cassandra. (forgives her)
Hey, call me Cassie. (Varian smiles)
Well, I guess I should start cleaning this mess up.
Cassandra, you helped prevent what could've been a disaster for all of us. Well done. And I have another assignment for you.
You know what, Dad? I'm gonna set this aside for now. I think my friend needs my help.
Well, as Captain of the Guard, turning down an assignment doesn't bode well. But as your dad, I'm proud of you.
It was amazing. They just kind of sprouted up here a couple weeks ago. I never seen anything like it.
(The rock spikes suddenly grow pale blue, as Rapunzel's hair glows a bright yellow)
Amazing. The rocks are demonstrating an actual physical response...to you. (points to Rapunzel)
Shh. Varian, I need you to promise to keep this between you and me, okay? And them.
Because my dad has forbidden me from talking about these rocks to anyone. We collectively are going to figure it out.

Centuries ago, Corona was engaged in a yearslong war with its rival kingdom, Saporia. Corona’s then king, Herz Der Sonne created a complex of tunnels to move his knights and supplies wherever he needed. He then made a detailed map of these tunnels and their secrets in a secured journal. At the height of the war, Der Sonne’s sworn enemy, General Shampanier launched a full scale invasion on Corona.

Their battle waged for hours with neither side relenting, that is until Shampanier discovered that the book’s final pages contained Herz's profession of love for her. It was then she realized she held similar feelings for him as well and soon, the two were married and a lasting peace was brought to the newly United Nations forever more.
