Plot[]
Rapunzel continues to try and restore the memories of her parents, King Frederic and Queen Arianna, and hopes to use the journal of Herz Der Sonne to remind them, but they do not understand the significance. Ariana still lusts for adventure while Frederic cannot get over his obsession of egg collecting. Rapunzel recruits her friends to try and set up the perfect date for them and while they cannot find anything in common personality wise, they share a mutual love for Rapunzel. However, King Trevor arrives with the intent to woo Ariana using an ocean crystal he found. Despite Rapunzel's attempts to keep him away, he manages to convince Ariana to join him in watching the sea serpents. Rapunzel realises that the ocean is lawless and Trevor will attempt to marry Ariana out there. Rapunzel and her friends manage to catch up, but Trevor sends his "navy seal team" to attack them. Ariana fights back and tries to rescue Rapunzel, Frederic and their friends from a sea serpent. Eventually, Frederic realises that the ocean crystal is, in fact, a sea serpent egg and gives it back. Trevor, who gives up after seeing how much Frederic and Ariana care for each other, gives back the journal that he stole, but it is water logged. Rapunzel makes a new journal that she and Eugene sign and Frederic and Ariana both begin to remember their lives when they were young.
