## Summary

Robin and Tank find Rapunzel and his children, and discover what they need to do to finish the story.

## Plot

Hours later, Robin asks Tank where they were going, and Tank tells her they're wandering until the story judges them worth of a time-skip. Robin gets a sly look on her face as she loudly declares while she is tried from all the wandering, she wasn't going to give up and was willing to wander forever.

Robin then cheers at the sight of a cottage appearing in the middle of the desert as Tank points out that it wasn't there a second ago, and knocks on the door.

The door opens and the man inside says that they don't want any Tupperware. Robin quickly says that she's there for Rapunzel and the man steps out, revealing himself as Rapunzel, with a baby slinged to his front, wanting to know where the other handsome prince with strapping muscles, and chiseled jaw, and eyes like a summer dream was.

Eventually Rapunzel says that Robin will do as long as she is there to rescue him. Robin cringes at the sight of the dirty dishes stacked on the table and the unmade twin-sized bed with food on it, stating that a rescue may not be exactly what Rapunzel needs, and Tank is excited at the second child sitting on a stack of pillows on the floor.

Rapunzel switches and child he is carrying with the one on the floor, and rocks the one in his arms as Tank plays with the baby on the floor while Robin explains that she is there to give Rapunzel the happily-ever-after. Rapunzel says that he already did that with the previous prince, which was where his children had come from, and Robin quickly explains that she is there to end the story. Rapunzel is not pleased with the idea of ending the story where it is, and demands to be taken back to a castle, which Robin doesn't have.

Rapunzel freaks out and says the last prince promised they would live in his castle, which was why Rapunzel had married and had children with him in the first place. Robin demands to know who officiated the marriage, and Rapunzel nervously explains that he didn't know what she meant, but apparently the prince had put Rapunzel's hand in his hand, so thus they had married. Robin explained that the method of marrying didn't get Rapunzel a castle, and Rapunzel asked where he was supposed to live, much to Robin's confusion since she thought Rapunzel lived in the cottage.

Rapunzel demanded to know if Robin thought he was supposed to live on the magical plot of land that grows food and produces water in the middle of the desert with no one to tell him how pretty he is, and Tank says that it seems to be a perfectly respectable cottage to him. After thinking things over, Rapunzel says he could let them end the story if they make some major improvements to the cottage, like a queen-sized bed, more storage space, and a proper dining table.

    Robin protests the idea of working before the twin on the floor suddenly starts crying again. Rapunzel says that if it's not one baby it’s the other one, and Robin asks what's wrong, and Rapunzel says he doesn't know. Tank suggests that they might be hungry, and Rapunzel says he's already fed them, so Tank takes charge and assigns Robin to Home Improvements while he gives Rapunzel Childcare Lessons.

Robin gets started outside as Tank instructs Rapunzel on how to properly care for his twins, to listen to their needs. Feeding, sleeping, speaking, but the most important thing is to trust in himself. Meanwhile, Robin makes a storage cabinet, a table with chairs, and a bigger bed, which make the cottage much more liveable. Rapunzel adds a final touch of a flowering cactus on the table, and declares that he is ready for his happy ending since he has all that he needs.

Robin smiles and opens the Book. With Rapunzel free of Gothel's power and safe in a home of his own making, Robin declares that he will live forever after happy and contented, ending the story of *Rapunzel*.
