Third Strand * Action

[Perched on a swing at the playground, Rapunzel is about as forlorn as a girl can get. She has spent the day trying not to think of her mother

[As Rapunzel is swinging on that swing, Yui will be over here admiring her rather long hair.]

I've never seen so much hair before...

[thederpyhalf]

[She smiles] Okay! [And then she sits down in front of her, like an audience would.]

Who is Flynn?

[paintsthewalls]

Flynn Rider! He's a boy I know. Man. A young man I know. Flynn's...you see, Flynn Rider's my guide. He's tall? Ish?

[thederpyhalf]

Oh...? Hm, that's not descriptive enough for me to put a face to that name. He's your guide, how so?

[paintsthewalls]

He promised to take me to see the lights on my eighteenth birthday. Now we're both here, though, so...[A slight shrug.] I know I'll see them someday. It's my dream.

Do you have a dream?

[thederpyhalf]

The lights? What lights?

[She pauses, looking thoughtful for a moment.] My dream...I haven't really thought about it. I'm happy with my life right now just from helping others. As my grandfather put it, never turn your back when someone needs your help, even if they're a stranger. So if I can bring a smile on someone's face, then that's good enough for me.

[paintsthewalls]

Wow! Your dream is so......nice. I never thought about doing anything like that...

[Mostly because the only people she knows is mother, and she helps mother all the time.]

The lights appear every year on my birthday, and Flynn was going to bring me to investigate them.
