I know season 3 is just around the corner, but I just couldn't help myself. I have been working on this idea for a while, and had to release it as fast as I could. Note; this is actually a crossover with Tanged The Series and not Frozen the Movie, but a book in the Frozen universe named A Frozen Heart.

"All set?" Eugene said as he loaded the last bag of supplies into the wagon.

"Yup!" Lance said quite laidback. "All that's left now, is the ladies."

"Yeah, who knows how long THAT'S gonna take!" Hook Foot muttered and leaned against the wagon.

"Just as long as I need after a round with cabbage stew." Shorty said from the driving seat where he snoozed, half lying on his crossed arms. "And believe me, you better keep a distance after that!"

There was an awkward silence between the men, before Lance broke the silence. "Eeeh Shorty... The girls has gone down to talk with the kid."

"Yeah, we all need an excuse, right?" Shorty replied grinning.

Eugene squeezed the brim of his nose, cleared his throat and spoke. "Lance, let's go tell The Majesties we're done."

"Yeah, right." Lance replied, obviously glad to leave the embarrassing scene. A but away Lance took up something on his mind. "You know, I just think it's too bad, Eugene."

"Yeah, I know it's kind of sad that we're off with Rapunzel like that just a year after her return, but the circumstances don't actually leave us much choice."

"I'm talking about the kid, Eugene." Lance said. "I mean, not long ago, we spoke up for Red and Angry, and that really gave me a good feeling. This on the other hand, gives me nothing but bad guts in my belly. I mean... what happened with; We can't put children in prison?"

Eugene's cheerful grin faded and for a moment it looked like he got a sour taste in his mouth. "Hey, one thing was a pair of orphans who had been misguided all their lives. But Varian's treason towards the Kingdom and attempt of Queen-murder is different."

"Maybe, but..." Lance wriggled himself. "Isn't he... almost kind of an orphan? His father, well... In many ways, is he actually any different from us?"

"Hey, I see no reason to compare threatening he whole Kingdom is different from stealing people's property. And we've never actually almost murdered anyone. I mean, he almost killed the Queen."

"Yeah, but you stole from her once."

Lance immediately regretted his words as he saw how they struck his friend. His normally absentminded smile faded and he got a painful lost look in his brown eyes. It looked like he got a kick in his chest and Lance wished he could take those words back. "I'm sorry, man. I... I didn't mean that. Forgive me. That was rude. I had no right. Bad Lance, bad dumb Lance! Mean Lance!" he said, and gave himself a couple of hard slaps in the face, so hard in fact that he felt pain from it, and made a face when he realized this. "Outch! Man, I felt that!"

Eugene looked at his friend, and couldn't help but chuckle, and smiled a little. "Don't worry." he replied and drew his breath. "In a way, I actually agree. I don't like this more than any others. But let's just face fact; until Varian manages to cool off, there's few chances we'll get through with him. He's too angry to listen to reason. I mean..." He lifted up his hand, showing off some biting marks. "I've still got this."

"Huh?" Lance widened his eyes. "Still?"

"Still!" Eugene said, stroking the marks lightly.

"I guess you're right..." Lance said and sighed. "But... his dad... Do you think he's still alive?"

"That's hard to know until we get him out of there."

The two men looked to see the Queen approach them, gracefully and calm like always. The sight made Eugene jump a little inside, Lance noticed, but he quickly regained himself and smiled while he gave deep bow. "Your Majesty!"

Lance hurried to follow his example. "Your Majesty!"

Arianna smiled and raised an eyebrow. "Now, why so formal today, Eugene? You're normally are so lead back?"

Lance noticed how Eugene got obviously disturbed, and hurried to speak. "Oh he's just showing me how it's done properly. Remember, I have yet to beat the professionals!" He winked at Eugene, who chuckled and smiled gratefully.

"That's a word for it."

Arianna chuckled as well. "You're doing just fine, Lance." Then she straitened up and spoke with a serious tone. "Is everything set?"

"Just waiting for the girls." Eugene replied.

"Yup!" Lance said and straightened up. "Nothing can go wrong now."

Both men froze as they heard a crashing sound, and then Hook Foot cry out and let out a few curses that was far from appropriate in current presence. Lance cleared his throat and gave a quick bow. "Will Your Majesty excuse me for a sec?" Then he disappeared over the wagon. "Hook Foot, I told ya; lift with your knees, not your back!"

Eugene smirked and shook his head. "This trip won't be boring, that's for sure!"

"Certainly." Arianna replied. "It's going to get awfully boring without you here."

"Nah! You won't even notice we're gone." Eugene said in a joking tone, but then wriggled himself a moment, feeling uncomfortable at sudden. It was half a chance that she could have heard what they had talked about, and he wasn't sure of what to reply. But he decided to toughen up and break the ice himself. "Hey, how... How are you doing, really?" he asked and gave her a concerned look.

"I'm fine, Eugene. I know that Rapunzel is grown enough to manage this, and I'm safe since she won't traveling alone."

"No, what I meant was... How are you doing after... I mean, are you... alright?"

The question made her smile fade, but the saw the concern in Eugene's eyes and sighed. "I still have trouble sleeping. Something like that... doesn't let go so easy." she smiled again to calm him down, as he almost seemed to regret his question. "Thank you for asking."

He smiled gratefully , and she took few steps closer. "Please be careful on this journey."

"Why sure, we won't do anything until it's necessary."

"I meant you, dear." she replied and walked closer, touching his cheek gently and warmly. "Be careful, Eugene."

The concern in her green eyes moved Eugene, and he put his other hand over hers where she held it. "As her Majesty commands!"

Arianna chuckled and surprised him by embracing him in a hug. Eugene was a little put out of place, but once felt that she really meant it, he found it only natural to reply it the same way. She had never really said it, but the way she had been later, and the fact that the matter with the ring never had been brought up again gave Eugene the impression that she had forgiven him about it. Just that matter alone gave him an enourmous feeling of loyalty towards Her Majesty.

I've been so lucky it's almost unfair. he thought to himself as he blinked to keep some sudden tears away. I really should try to make it worth it And I'm gonna! One way or another!
