I don't own Tangled or Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs! End/AN/

Rapunzel stood nervously in the center of her tower. Her mother had left, with the promise that she would be back in a couple of days with new paints and other supplies. Now, it was up to Rapunzel what to do with Snow White, who undoubtedly was waiting in the armoire and wondering what was going on.

Snow White didn't seem bad. It was hard to think of her as someone who would tear her apart and sell the pieces. But Mother was to be trusted, and she sighed as she walked over to the armoire.

She opened the armoire slowly, looking inside to see Snow White blink against the light.

"I'm sorry if I was the cause of the argument," Snow White said softly. She had probably heard the raised voices, but not made out the words, or else purposely ignored them. It wasn't that muffled inside the armoire, Rapunzel knew from the times she'd played hide and seek.

"Oh, no, you weren't," Rapunzel said with a smile that felt like it was cracking her face. She liked Snow White. She didn't want to have to tell her to leave.

Snow White seemed to know that something was wrong, because she looked at her with the most innocent expression and asked, "Are you all right?"

This was actually painful for Rapunzel. She'd never had another friend before, and it was hard to even consider turning her away in her time of need. What if she had nowhere else to go? What if she got eaten or torn apart and sold for pieces? "Snow, I have to tell you something…"

"Yes?" Snow White still had that look her eyes, mostly like she couldn't fathom Rapunzel being anything but kind. There was still the slightest glimmer of 'Oh no, that tone is not good' in her eyes, however.

"You have to leave. My mother doesn't want you to be here, because I can't trust anyone…" It sounded stupid, coming out of Rapunzel's mouth, like some silly made up reason. In her head, she could still hear her mother's urgent tone, but it seemed to lose it in her voice.

"Oh. Oh…" Snow White sat down heavily, looking paler than usual. She looked up, face full of concern. "Have I done something wrong?"

"Well… no, not technically…" This was really hard. Rapunzel looked away, biting her lip. Snow White couldn't truly be bad, could she? Mother would want her gone, though. "But you have to go. You can find somewhere else, can't you?"

Snow White spoke faintly, as though she were a ghost. "I believe I might be able to seek refuge in the castle of the King and Queen of Corona, but I don't know if I can make it there. A girl on her own is not safe…"

A sort of lump rose in Rapunzel's throat. She couldn't just send Snow White into the world alone and defenseless. "Well, how far is it to the castle?"

"It's a few miles." She bit her lip, as though thinking of the horrible things that could happen to her. "The Queen might send people to find me, even into Corona… I don't know what to do."

A few miles wasn't far, was it? A new, dangerous idea tickled Rapunzel's mind. Her mother wouldn't be back for a day or two… But she wasn't supposed to trust Snow White.

She looked at the girl, thinking that there was no way anyone could look at her and not trust her. Perhaps Mother had simply not met anyone like her before; perhaps she wasn't bad, but Mother just didn't know that.

"I could… I could come with you." Rapunzel marveled at the words. Secretly, she wanted to leave the tower; her first taste outside had awakened a curiosity that burned in her chest. It wasn't far, anyway, and she would get back and Mother would never know.

"Oh, thank you," Snow White said, putting her arms around Rapunzel. "I don't know what I'd do if I hadn't met you."

Rapunzel hugged back, noting how small and light Snow White was compared to Mother. It felt like hugging something frail, almost, instead of Mother's sturdy build.

It was only moments later they were climbing down, Snow White first, and then Rapunzel. She clenched her toes in the grass, only the second time in her life she had felt it. She took in a deep breath of the air, a giddy bubble rising in her chest.

"Which way do we go?"

Snow White smiled softly, and started in the direction of the trees beyond. "I believe this way; once we reach a road, we'll know for sure."

Rapunzel ran in the direction, feeling the air rush through her hair and reveling in the fact she could just run, just keep going and going until she reached the trees. She burst into the foliage, looking around with glee. She had never been this far from home. She looked behind her, at Snow White, who was jogging to catch up. "Are you coming?"

This was going to be amazing.

/AN/ I hope this was good. It's actually rather fun to try combining these stories. Very much a work in progress though. It's very interesting, since they're like more than 70 years apart in production. I'm also hoping to have more character development for Snow, because, you know, she's not that dynamic in the movie. I mean, you can't give them crap for that, it was the first full length animated film, but if it were made today, it probably would be torn apart by critics.
