Summary: Eugene tries to cheer Rapunzel up so he decides to take her out on a date. Backdated~

[Rapunzel couldn't help but be a little curious and excited when Eugene asked her if she wanted to go out. Where exactly, she wasn't sure, but that did not matter. What mattered was she got to spend time with him. Just the two of them. Not that she minded Pascal tagging along, but sometimes it was nice to just be alone with him. She sat at her bed and brushed her hair, preparing to braid it so it was out of the way. Luckily, she was nearly finished brushing it now so she wouldn't be too much longer. It was getting hard to concentrate on getting ready, when she was so excited and eager to find out what they would be doing. She looked at Pascal watching her, sitting on her lap and frowning up at her, the same purple shade as her dress.]

I know, Pascal, but it's not like I leave you here with Flynn that often. I'd love you to come too, but I'm sure we won't be out too late. And Eugene will be with me, so I'll be fine. Really. I need you to stay here and keep an eye on Flynn, okay?

I don't think heights have ever really been an issue for me, you know. [Really, was there somewhere to stop on the ladder besides the top? Rapunzel was quite used to heights, having grown up in the tower and all, so she had no issues in terms of fear of falling as she climbed, resisting the urge to look down even as he told her not to. Oblivious to his staring as she made it to the top and hoisted herself up, looking around briefly before turning to help him up.]

It's just an expression, Blondie. [ When he gets to the top with her, he outstretches an arm to his masterpiece. ]

Say "hello" to our moonlit getaway!

[ He'd laid out a checkered blanket against the wall facing the edge of the building best viewing the moon up above. There were candles, two pillows, an extra blanket, and a picnic basket with food that Eugene had prepared yesterday night and this morning for the date specifically. ]

What do you think?

Oh. I just never heard it before. [She shrugs, turning to look when he manages to climb up with her.]

It's great. Really. [She never expected this, and can't help but admire it and smile at his efforts. It looked lovely, cozy. Rapunzel reaches for his hand and goes to sit on the blanket.]

Glad you think so. [ He takes her hand and seats himself beside her. Putting an arm around her, he pulls her close, tucking her beneath his chin. ]

I've also got an astronomy book and a little telescope in the basket so we can look at the constellations. [ He knows that it's something she's wanted to do ever since she first saw the star book in the castle town's bookshop. ]

Really? [That sounds brilliant! Rapunzel had always been interested in the stars and the sky after trying to figure out what the lanterns were when she first saw them, charting the stars and figuring out they weren't stars as she had thought. As Mother Gothel had thought. Still, she can't help but smile at the idea and the thought that Eugene had put into this.]

This is great. You even brought a blanket out in case we get cold.

It's nothing. I thought it'd be better to get you a blanket than to have you wrap up in your hair, not that it's not warm enough as it is.

[ He holds her close and leans forwards with an outstretched arm. He takes the whicker picnic basket by hand and opens it. Inside, is a silver, mini telescope that he'd gotten for Rapunzel the last time they were on land. ]

I've got some paper and pencils if you want to do some sketching.

Well, yeah, I guess a blanket is better. Not that I haven't done that before anyway.

[She smiles as she snuggles against him, head on his shoulder as she shifts slightly to admire the telescope.]

It's lovely. I had one back home I used to chart the stars, but this one is even better, Eugene.

[ He digs into the basket and pulls out some graphite pencils and plain sketching paper. ]

We'll have to make another chart book here since your other chart book is all the way back home. The constellations might not match up, since we're in a whole other world and all, but I figure that since we might be here a while longer, you could pass the time.

I guess it will be different from charting the stars on the ceiling of the tower. But if we are in a different world, I'm sure the constellations would be different. It could be neat to learn about the ones here.

[She approves, giving him a smile as he gets out some pencils and paper.]
