Home Again (Rapunzel version)

Mother Gothel chuckled evilly and rubbed her hands together as the preverbal ball was back in her court. "And, uh...what were you saying, my dear?" she asked Rapunzel in a silky voice.

Panchito reappeared on Mother Gothel's head with one last trick. "Well, she simply said that you're a fat, pompous, bad-tempered, old tyrant!" he laughed.

As Panchito laughed away into thin air, Mother Gothel became very angry. "OFF WITH HER HEAD!!!!!" she shouted.

The rhino and wolf guards erupted with applause as they dove and swarmed to arrest Rapunzel, who rushed out of the courtroom, knocking away any rhino and wolf guards that got in her way.

"You heard what her majesty said!" Timon announced before getting trampled by the rhino and wolf guards, "Off with her head!"

Zazu blew on his trumpet to call out more rhino and wolf guards as Rapunzel ran out of the castle with about 52 decks worth of rhino and wolf guards hot on her tail.

Rapunzel raced into the maze as the wolf and rhino guards followed suit. The chase continued for about 15 minutes as even Mother Gothel and Timon took part in the chase. The chase ended when Rapunzel ran (quite literally) into a deck of rhino and wolf guards, knocking them over in the process. Mother Gothel ran over the wolf and rhino guards on her side, causing an incline that stopped Rapunzel in her tracks.

As she slid down the wolf and rhino guard slide, she noticed the hedge maze vanishing and suddenly wind up in another caucus race, led by Louis, of course. The racers included Mother Gothel, Timon, Honest John, Gideon, Donald, Jose, Tigger, Piglet, some Oysters, and a deck's worth of the rhino and wolf guards.

Everyone (except Rapunzel): *Forward, backward, inward, outward, here we go again*
*No one ever loses and no one can ever win*
*Backward, forward, outward, inward, bottom to the top*
*Never a beginning...*

Rapunzel pulled herself out of the caucus and started running across a beach, with Mother Gothel and the rhino and wolf guards chasing after her.

"Off with her head!" Mother Gothel shouted, "Off with her head!"

Rapunzel kept on running as the rocks she jumped over turned into teapots; she suddenly found herself back at Honest John and Gideon's tea party. Just then, Honest John and Gideon appeared out of nowhere and grabbed Rapunzel.

"Just a moment," Honest John said. "You can't leave a tea party without having a cup of tea, you know!"

Rapunzel panted, "But-but I can't stop now!"

"Ah, but we insist," said Gideon. "You must join us in a cup of tea!"

The fox and the cat pushed Rapunzel into a giant cup of tea, which seemed to be more spacious than it looked. She came out, seeing that the tea turned into water...an ocean at that. As she swam, Mother Gothel was riding at her, using the same method the travel Louis did earlier on.

"OFF WITH HER HEAD!" Mother Gothel shouted.

Rapunzel immediately noticed Iago, smoking on top of his mushroom.

"Mr. Iago, what will I do?" Rapunzel asked.

He turned to her, not seeming to enjoy her company and blew smoke at her. "Who are you?" Iago asked.

As Rapunzel coughed from the smoke, she suddenly felt solid ground on her feet. The ocean around her disappeared as Iago's smoke swirls into a tunnel that stretched for miles. Rapunzel wasted no time running as Mother Gothel and the rhino and wolf guards were right behind her.

"There she goes!" Mother Gothel called, "Don't let her get away! Off with her head!"

The tunnel went on for a while until Rapunzel came upon Warren. She reached out, desperately trying to grab him. She finally managed to grab it and tried to open the door. However, Warren groaned in pain as Rapunzel grabbed him. "Still locked, you know." he said.

"But Mother Gothel!" Rapunzel explained, "I simply must get out."

Warren chuckled. "But you *are* outside." he said.

Rapunzel was confused. "What?"

"See for yourself!" said Warren, as he opened his mouth wide to show what he was talking about. Rapunzel looked inside and saw herself out in the riverbank, asleep under the tree, with Pascal in her lap.

"Why, why that's me!" Rapunzel exclaimed, "I'm asleep!"

"Don't let her get away!" Mother Gothel ordered, "Off with her head!"

The German girl turned around to see Mother Gothel and her mob rushing at her, and this time she was cornered with nowhere else to run.

"Rapunzel! Rapunzel, wake up!" Rapunzel begged herself, "Please wake up, Rapunzel!"

She attempted to wake the other Rapunzel on the other side up. But she was too late! The attacks finally reached her, mere inches away from hitting her.

At that moment, everything went bright white. The last thing Rapunzel could hear was a distant voice calling her name, "Rapunzel! Rapunzel!"

The voice revealed to be Eden in the real world, who was calling to her daughter to wake up. "Rapunzel! Rapunzel!" Eden called out, "Will you please pay attention and recite your lesson?"

Finally, Rapunzel woke up from her slumber. Her mind was still fresh from her "adventure." She asked, "Hmmm? Oh. Oh! Uh..." She heard to the word "recite," and she suddenly shot up to recite.

Rapunzel: *How doth the little crocodile*
*Improve his shining tail*
*And pour the waters of the...*

"Rapunzel, what are you talking about?" Eden cut her off.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Mother." Rapunzel apologized to her mother, "But you see, The Wolf said..."

"Wolf?" Eden was confused. "Oh, for goodness' sake! Rapunzel, I...Oh, well." she said, "Come along, your father and brothers are waiting for you. It’s time for dinner, anyway."

Eden led Rapunzel home from the park for dinner as Rapunzel picked up Pascal. Rapunzel was glad to be home after the long adventure she had. Even if it was just a crazy dream...Or was it? One thing was for sure, Rapunzel knew that she would remember this dream for a long, long time...and the new yet, strange friends she met along the way.

Chorus: *Rapunzel in Wonderland*
*Over the hill or here or there*
*I wonder where*

*The End*
