A/N: Hey, y'alls! (cringes inwardly)
It's been a while since I saw this movie, so I'm going from memory, as well as making a few changes because this is a dragon version of the story.

Pelco's POV

The day had finaly;the day we would preform Rapunzale.

Thankfuly, we weren't going to preform all of the play; just the important parts.

I was still nervous about my part as Rapunzale, but, at least Oaktail was the one playing Ridder and not someone else.

I took a peek out from behind the curtain.

It looked like almost half the schoool was in the audience.

"Are you ready?", Oaktail asked.

"Are you?", I asked, not feeling so prepared myself.

"I'm ready", He answered.

Oaktail's POV

Auklet stepped up onto the stage.

"Welcome everyone, to our preformence of Rapunzale!"

There was a round of applause.

"Now, before we begine, a few things you should know about. . . ."

Suddenly, I felt talons grab me from behind and I was pulled backwards.

A large yellow talon was cuffted over my mouth, preventing me from calling out.

I tried to wrestle out of my asailant's grip. but to no avail.

I found myself being pushed inside of a dark closet.

I tried to open the door, only to find it was locked.

Damn it! Where's a fire-breather when you need one.

Pelco's POV

After Auklet's introduction to the play, the the curtains opened and the preformence begain.

"Mother, my eighth birday is tomarow and I wanted to ask . . . Okay, actually something I've been wanting to ask you for quite a few birthdays now-"

"Rapunzale, stop with the mumbling, you know how I feel about the mubbling 'blah, blah, blah, blah'. It's very annoying.
Oh you know I'm just kidding I love you so much!", Mother Gothel (Dangertail) said with a sigh.

"Why was she being so evasive?", Auklet narated.

"I want to see the floating lights!", I (Rapunzale) blurted.

"Oh you mean the stars", Mother Gothel told me.

"That's the thing!", I said, a little impatiently.

I walked to the windows on the right side of the set.

"I've charted stars and they're always constaint but these only show up on my birthday. Only on my birthday. I can't help but feel like they're ment for me."

Mother Gothel scoffed.

"Rapunzale, you want to go outside?"

The lights dimed and a spot-light focaused on Dangertail.

"Look at you as fragile as a flower.
Still a little sapling, just a sprout
You know why we stay up in this tower-"

"But-"

"That's right, to keep you safe and sound.
Yes, I always knew this day was coming!
Soon you'd want to leave the nest!
Soon, but, not yet!
Trust me pet.
Mother knows best!"

She hit a lever and panels cover the windows.

I tried lighting a candel, but Mother Gothel put them out.

"Darling, take it from your mumsy, on your own you won't surrive.
Ruffians, thugs!!poisonivy, quick-sand! Caniballs and snakes!
The plague!"

"No!"

"Yes!"

"Also large bugs, dragons with pointy teeth and 'Stop now, Mom, you just upset me!'.
Mother's right here, Mother will protect you.
Darling here's what I suggest!
Skip the drama stay with Mama, MOTHER knows best!"

Suddenly, all the lights went out and I gave a cry of alarm.

"No need to be scared, Mother's here to help you!
All I have is one request!"

I ran into Mother Gothel's embrace.

"Rapunzale?"

"Yes?"

"Don't ever ask to leave this cave AGAIN."

I looked down.

"Yes, Mother."

"Don't forget it!
You'll regret it!
MOTHER knows best!"

The curtains closed as we prepared for the next scene.

"Oaktail, are you ready?", I asked.

"Uh, yeah, I'm ready", he answered.

He was acting kind of weird but I didn't ask him about it; it was time for the next scene.

Auklet: "Rapunzale had never tried going down the tunel where she susppected the hidden enterance to the cave was, but, now she'd had enought of her mother had her frea of the outside world.
When she reached the end of the tunel, she disscovered that a large bolder, which no boubt had previously been blocking the way in, had been moved and the entrance left ajar."

"That's weird. Mother wouldn't just forget to close it again.", I said to myself.

Auklet: "Rapunzale suddenly became aware of a snorring noise coming from nearby."

I turned and saw Oaktail (Ridder) pretending to be asleep.

I acted surprized and stepped back.

Auklet: "Rapunzale used her magic to tie up the stranger.
Mother Gothel always hated it when she used her magic, but that didn't matter now."

Oaktail blinked and tried to get up, but he tripped and fell flat on his face.

"I know who you are and I know why you're here", I said, trying to sound brave.

"Where are you?", Oaktail (Ridder) asked.

I stepped out of the shadows.

Oaktail blinked.

A flirtty grin spread over his face.

"Hey, Babe. So, where are you from?"

Wait, those aren't the lines.

At the moment though, I decided to go with it.

"I know why you're here, Ridder, and you're not going to get it", I said, making use of his name.

"Get what? I'm not here to get anything", Oaktail insisted.

"Oh, you really think I don't know that you want my magic?"

"Wha- why in the world would I want your magic?"

"To use it for yourself, to make someone fall in love, use it to kill someone-"

"Okay,okay,okay, good point, but that's not why I'm here. The only thing I want to do with your magic is to get out of it!", Oaktail tried to wrestle out of the ropes but only suceded in breaking a nearby flowerpot.

The curtains closed abruptly so that the mess could be cleaned.

"Hey, Mink, could you go get a broom from the closet that's behind the stage?", Auklet asked.

"Sure."

Oaktail's POV

To my relife, the door finaly opened.

I didn't want to explain how I got trapped inside the closet, so I hide behind some boxes near the door.

As Mink walked out with the broom, the door begain to close.

I grabbed the door to keep it from closing and I slipped out of the closet.

I practicly ran to the stage to see what was going on.

On the stage, in my place was a dark green dragon who looked very much like me.

After waiting for the right moment when they actors were backstage, I grabbed the Leafwing and I stood by Pelco, who hadn't even realized that the dragon she'd been preforming with was gone, or that it hadn't been me.

I wondered if he could be the dragon who'd attacked Damselfly.

I looked behind me but the Leafwing was gone.

Thank goodness I got back when I did; it's almost at the wedding scene.

In fact, the only scene I got to preform in was the wedding scene.

Pelco's POV

"Do you, Rapunzale take this dragon as your lawfuly wedded mate?"

"I do."

"And do you, Ridder, take this dragon as your lawfuly wedded mate?"

"I do."

"You may kiss the bride."

Oaktail leaned toward me and even though it looked like we were kissing, his thunb was seperating us.

"Hey, you stole my trick!", I whispered.

Oaktail grinned.

The applause was thunderous as te curtains closed for the final time.

"I'm so glade we convinced you two to be in the play! You were great!", Auklet cheered.

"Hey, I'm hungery.Let's go get some food and eat outside", Tody said."

"Pelco, something weird happend. Right before the first scene, someone grabbed me and threw me into the closet behind the stage.
I was only able to get out when Mink went in there to get a broom. Thankfuly, I got back in time to preform the wedding scene with you."

"Sooooooooo, who was I preforming with then?", I asked.

"I don't know, but , I think it may have been the same dragon who attacked Damselfly and Windhaven."

There was an awkward silence for a moment.

No doubt Oaktail was thinking the same thing I was; what would the mystery dragon have done if Oaktail hadn't gotten back intime?

"Hey, check out that vulture;he's acting like he rules the mountains", Oaktai said, pointing a large bird perched on a cliff.

"Let's see if I can scare him off", Today said.

"THIS IS NOT YOUR LAND! GO!", he yelled.

"I don't think it can hear you", Cliff told him, "Let me show you how it's done."

He flew towards the vulture, who flew off with an indignant screech.

"NOW I"M KIND OF THE MOUNTAINS!"

"I think you mean King of the Cliff", Dusky corrected.

"What?"

They all laughed.

"I'm glad you got back in time, Oaktail", I said, twining my tail around his.

"I love you, Pelco."

"I love you more", I argued playfuly.

"I love you most."
