Makes Them Grow
The brunette knew it was true -- talking to plants makes them grow. Rapunzel had always done this-- the little flowers on her tower’s windowsill were pretty much the finest in the land, if she did say so herself (which she did).
The girl smiled, looking at her new windowsill and her new little plants and flowers, watering them slightly and humming a little tune. “I know you'll grow up to be bright and beautiful-- and just LOOK at the view!” Turning her head to gaze outside at the wonderful, happy Kingdom of Corona, Rapunzel smiled. It was magnificent-- and her flowers would have lots of sun and warmth -- something Rapunzel herself finally knew a bit more about. Sun and warmth. Hope and kindness. A loving, trusting family.
The brunette suddenly realized that people were a lot like flowers. They neeed to be treated right and given lots of love and care and sunshine.
Rapunzel paused, deciding that it was exactly what Eugene needed -- love and warmth and sunshine of course, but also a little plant! It could brighten up his room, give him something to tend after! He could really grow to love plants, she figured, since he’d spent so much time running...now he could finally slow down and relax, and love something with his whole heart, and watch it love him right back.
“That’s it!” She said, scooping up her littlest sunflower. “You’re going to live with Eugene, and he’ll take great care of you, and you’ll get the best view in the whole castle, in my opinion -- Eugene likes it a lot too, or so he tells me. You’ll have a wonderful life, and --” She was just stepping out of the hall when suddenly she ran into !!
“Eugene!” She exclaimed, fumbling with her plant as she crashed into him. “I’m sorry! I didn’t see you! Are you okay? I have something for you!” And she smiled big and bright, because even though she’d bumped into him, she was always, always, always so happy to see him, the man who’d helped save her.
