The Twins, the Princess, and the Sundrop

1- What the Hair?!

"Wow really?" The twins ask, and she nods. "Okay, so fantastical stories of your hair returning have spread across Corona," Varian says, not missing a beat as he circles the two girls. "Yeah, people say that it's magic, but, personally, we don't really believe that." (Y/N) says, as she lifts Rapunzel's very long braid in her hands.

"Now, as you have probably guessed, we are people of science, specifically al-" "Alchemy, we know, now listen kids," Cassandra says, getting up in your faces. "We need your help, but let me make myself clear. What happens here, stays here, you two got it?" She asks, pulling you both into the air by the fronts of our shirts, and you nod vigorously.

After a minute or two, Varian and (Y/N) have set up Rapunzel on the experiment table, the only place big enough for all of her hair, and Varian is looking at it through a magnifying glass that makes his face unflatteringly large.

"Oh yes, this is, it's very... Long," he says, and (Y/N) rolls her eyes. "Oh, no, don't worry, your highn-Rapunzel," he says, proud that he got it right (yeah, I had to give that line to him). "I am sure that we, Varian and (Y/N), can unlock the mysteries of your hair through the power of science!" Varian exclaims, throwing his hands up in the air, causing him to hit the magnifying glass, which swang around and hit him on the back of his head. *Oh no,* (Y/N) thinks, running around the table, quite aware of his hemophobia.

"Ow!" He exclaims, rubbing the back of his head, and swaying as he sees blood on his glove. "No sweat, it's just a little..." And he proceeds to faint. Luckily, (Y/N), being the good sister she is, was able to catch him before he hit the ground.

"Come on Varian, you and your stupid fear of blood," she grumbles, moving his hair apart to find the head wound. She notices Rapunzel looking nervously at Varian, and (Y/N) reassures, "don't worry, he's fine. He's just hemophobic. This happens a lot in a lab like ours. Could you get the first aid kit from the cabinet up there?" She asks, pointing to the cabinet where it is stored.

Princess Rapunzel just shakes her head and tells me, "don't worry, my hair can heal him! Can you just sit him down?" She nods skeptically and sets him in the nearest chair gently. Rapunzel piles her hair on top of her brother's head and starts singing.

'Flower gleam and glow,

Let your power shine.

Make the clock reverse,

Bring back what once was mine.

Heal what has been hurt'

Varian starts to slowly wake up and (Y/N) grabs his hand and squeezes it gently.

'Change the fates design

Save what has been lost

And bring back what once was mine

What once was mine.'

"Better?" Rapunzel asks, beaming widely. "Oh yeah-no!" Varian says, looking at his still-bloody hand. "Huh. That used to work," the princess says disbelievingly, looking at a strand of her hair.

"Well, silver lining," Varian says, also lifting up a strand of her hair, seeming recovered from earlier. "We've discovered some critical new data about your hair! It no longer possesses it's legendary healing power. Progress!" He exclaims, standing up.

"Now let's figure out exactly what this hair is made of," he says, grabbing Princess Rapunzel's hair as (Y/N) pulls down a tarp that was over a machine that the two had built. "This machine can analyze and substance for chemical makeup-" "-bitopic composition, and-" "urgu-structural integrity," Varian and (Y/N) explain back and forth, smiling widely as they do. "We built it ourselves."
