Anna met her roommate, an exchange student from Germany named Rapunzel, Punz for short. Punz had long, flowing hair that she was obsessed with combing. A bit strange, Anna admitted, but she figured it wasn't as strange as being a closet lesbian.
"Guten Tag!" Punz greeted her.
"I, uh, I don't speak German. I'm from Norway." Anna replied nervously.
"Oh, sorry about that," apologized Punz, "It's just, when I get excited I kind of, y'know…"
"Yeah, I get it."
Anna went out on a walk to check out Storybrooke. She walked past all sorts of buildings. Flower shops, offices, diners, ice cream parlors. But one caught her eye. Mr. Gold's Pawn Shop.
Anna walked right in. She always loved old things, so she had to see it. She walked into the shop, and saw all sorts of things. She noticed a boy sweeping the floor.
"Excuse me, are you Mr. Gold?" asked Anna.
The boy stopped. "Me? Of course not. He is."
He pointed at a middle-aged man wearing a suit, and using a cane. He had long, brown hair that was graying at the ends, and he was clean shaved.
"Yes, dearie, that's me." he confirmed in a Scottish accent. "How may I help you today?"
"Um, I just want to look around." Anna fumbled. "Hey, uh, you need any extra hands? See, I'm in college, and, well, I'd like some money."
"Of course," Mr. Gold answered, "I do need someone to keep the antiques clean."
"Hey, how come she gets to clean the objects?!" the boy protested.
"Oh, don't mind Henry. He's a nice boy, he's just going thru some changes right now." Said Mr. Gold.
"When can I start?" asked Anna.
"Next week. The first thing you'll clean will be that." He pointed at a metal lamp with the word PIXAR engraved in it. "Deal?"
"Deal."
They shook hands.
