For the first time ever she's completely free. There Rapunzel stands at the door of her dorm room, key and luggage in hand, ready to start this new chapter in her life. She had been accepted to study Art and Art History at the University of Corona on a full scholarship. Art had always been a passion of hers but today she was finally pursuing it. Taking a deep breath she inserts her key and pushes open the door, revealing her quaint residence. It was just one room with two beds on either side, two tiny closets and two desks. She runs right for one of the beds and flops down on it, letting out an excited squeal. Just then the door opens and a tall girl with a black bob haircut strolls in. Rapunzel jumps off her bed and straightens out her messy blonde locks.

"Hi, I'm Rapunzel!" she says excitedly .

"Umm. Hi, I'm Dana. Can I call you Punz? I like Punz" the other girl hesitates a little before extending her hand to Rapunzel. Eagerly Rapunzel shakes it.

"Umm sure. Call me whatever you want. ooh, I just know we'll be great friends". Rapunzel beams

"Just as long as you keep you things on your half of the room I'm sure we'll get along just fine" Dana chuckles a little. That should be easy enough. Rapunzel barely brought anything with her, basically just a suitcase of clothes and her art supplies.

"Oh, just one question though. Do you mind if I decorate our room a little bit? I really can't stand bare walls" Rapunzel asks.

"Knock yourself out" Dana shrugs.

"You are the best roommate ever!" Rapunzel smiles. Instead of unpacking she sits down on her bed and begins sketching plans of all the pictures that she would collage the walls with. She's a little upset that the rules state that she can't actually paint on the walls, but she'll make do just putting up some paintings and drawings.

"Uh oh, we have to go. We have a community meeting with our dorm advisor like now" Dana says about an hour later. She grabs Rapunzel's arm and pulls her off the bed just as she is finishing her sketches.

"Umm..okay" Rapunzel says, allowing Dana to pull her all the way to the lounge for the meeting.

"You're late…by 30 seconds. Your tardiness will not be tolerated" a very intimidating male approaches the two girls as they enter the lounge. His hair is a very light shade of blonde, so light that it's almost white and he has large brown eyes. By far his most striking feature though is that he's extremely tall and muscular. Rapunzel can't help but think that he could snap her in half in one swift movement.

"Hey Max, calm down" another guy says as he makes a calming motion in the air with his hands, "It was thirty seconds, no one died. Everything's okay." This other guy was short with bright green spiked hair and really large brown eyes.

Max rolls his eyes and lets out a large sigh, "Take a seat ladies" he groans. The girls sit down on the floor cross legged beside the green haired boy.

As soon as they sit down Max starts the meeting "First things first, house checks. They will happen once a month and I expect your room to be spotless.. If it is not, there will be consequences. Second order of business. The quiet hours are 12am-8am Sunday til Thursday and 2AM-10AM Friday and Saturday. If I hear much more than a peep from your room during those hours than there will be consequences as I don't like my sleep being disturbed" Max rambles through every single rule the university has, making sure to note that if any are broken that there will be consequences. By the end of the meeting Rapunzel is just sitting there with her eyes wide open trying to take everything in.

"You okay?" the green haired boy asks.

"Ya, just taking it all in. What if I break a rule though? What are the consequences? Will I be kicked out of school?" Rapunzel asks, her voice drenched in fear.

"Pff, no. Max may seem tough but trust me…he's a softie deep down. I've known him since boy scouts….he was really anal about rules then too. He once told me I would get arrested cause I took two cookies at snack time instead of one. If you do disobey a rule then just give Max an apple and suddenly you'll be on his good side"

"An apple?" Dana asks confused.

"Yup, he loves them. Personally I prefer grapes and oranges but whatever floats his boat I guess"

"Ah, well thanks for everything….umm…" Rapunzel then realizes she didn't get the boy's name.

"It's Pascal. The great, dashing, daring Pascal" he boasts.

"Ooh Pascal, like the mathematician? Are you a math genius?" Rapunzel asks excitedly, "Oh and my name's Rapunzel by the way and this is my roomie Dana"

" Nice to meet you two lovely ladies" Pascal gives them a grin, "No, I am not a math genius by any means. I'm an artist who has a fascination with chameleons. They are quite the artistic animals with their colour changing abilities" he pulls out a sketchbook filled with drawings he has made of chameleons.

"I'm an art student too" Rapunzel claps excitedly as she stares at his sketches, "oh Pascal, you're so talented. I have never drawn a chameleon before, or even seen one in person actually"

Pascal gasps, "Oh the horror! We will have to fix that! On my next drawing trip to the zoo I am taking you with me"

"oh really? Thank you Pascal! I am excited already" Rapunzel smiles.

"Excellent. Now ladies, may I escort you back to your dorms?" Pascal stands up and offers an arm to each girl.

Rapunzel can't help but smile as the three of them walk down the hall. She's so excited to have already made two friends. This was going to be a great year, she could tell.

Author Note: I know this chapter may seem kind of boring but I wanted to get some of the intros to the characters out of the way before diving into the more exciting stuff.
