Tangled.

Ordinary World: Rapunzel lives with her evil "mother" Gothel in a tower deep in the forest. She has never been into the outside world, because Gothel decides it is safer for her to stay inside. Rapunzel lives her days dreaming of the world outside the tower.
Call to Adventure: Rapunzel is quickly coming to her sixteenth birthday, on which floating lights will fill the sky, as they have on her birthday in previous years. She wants to see these lights up close, but has never been given the chance.
Refusal of Call: One day, a thief named Flinn Rider climbs the walls of the tower, and is taken captive by Rapunzel. She tells him she will let him go and give him his crown back if he will take her to see the lights. Although she is eager at first, she soon becomes scared and wants to return home.
Meeting with the Mentor: Flinn Rider has to convince Rapunzel to continue on her journey, and keeps her safe with him throughout the journey.
Crossing the Threshold: Rapunzel has to climb out of the tower for the first time in her life. At first she is hesitant, but she quickly forgets her fear for a while.
Tests, Allies, and Enemies: Rapunzel is tested when she chooses to trust Flinn Rider to take her to see the lights. She is also tested when she disobeys her mother's rule to "never leave the tower". She quickly becomes friends with Maximus the horse, and also the men at "The Ugly Duckling", who help her throughout the story. Her enemies are Mother Gothel, and also the two men after Flinn Rider.
Approach: Wicked Mother Gothel tricks Rapunzel into thinking Flinn Rider only wanted the crown, and did not care about her at all. She convinces Rapunzel to come back to live with her in the tower.
Ordeal: Rapunzel fell in love with Flinn Rider, and now she regrets everything because he left her for a crown. She now realizes that what Mother Gothel said about the world being a horrible place is true.
Reward: Rapunzel realizes that she is princess of the kingdom, and Mother Gothel kidnapped her as a child. As the story is revealed to Rapunzel, she realized everything her mother has said was a lie.
The Road Back: Though Rapunzel is trapped in the tower once more, she now knows the truth, and wants to be free. She is finally starting to fight back.
Resurrection:When Flinn Rider comes to save Rapunzel, he gives up his life, or she must stay in the castle forever. He cuts her hair so that she might be free of Mother Gothel, and he dies.
Return with Elixir: Because of Rapunzel's magical powers, her tears are able to bring Flinn Rider back to life. They get married in the kingdom, and live happily ever after.

Stuck.

Lucy's life was boring. It wasn't that nothing happened. Because it did.
She woke up every day at 6. She went to school every day at 7.
She did her homework after school every day until 6.
She had dinner after homework, watched t.v. for a few hours, then went to bed.
Life repeated the next day. Always the same. It wasn't horrible.
But it never changed. It was stuck. In a cycle that couldn't be broken.
Sure, she could skip doing her homework, but what would that do?
Give her bad grades? She could miss school. Which would also ruin her grades.
Lucy wasn't really known at school. She was quiet.
Even though she had so much to say, she wasn't known as the type that would speak out.
And she found out soon enough that you can't really change a reputation.
Especially after being stuck in the same place for your whole life.
She didn't play sports. She was good at them, she just wasn't known as the type that would.
But everything changed that one day in October.
Lucy was told by her parents that they were moving.
Far away from the place she had lived her whole entire life.

Questions:
Will Lucy become someone different?
What will moving do to her?
Does Lucy have anything to lose?
