[There's a few things Gordo's realized: he's not in his middle school and something is very wrong. He feels pretty upset, but if there's anything he's learned from having psychologists as parents? It's best to remain calm and if you're in a dangerous situation, you've got to think about your position.

He's also realized he has wings and maybe this just means hes dreaming? But this is a really realistic dream. He's also already pinched himself and nope.

It's also night time and he appears to be in somebody's house.

He has a book that has a camera in it. Strange...

And this is really weird.

He needs to do something because sitting here in the dark in somebody else's house could be dangerous. He doesn't really seem to be kidnapped by anybody here because he's in a living room. And he could just walk out, but since he has no idea where he is? Well, no. Not a good idea.

He'll take a chance because this seems to be the only thing he can do. So he could be in your apartment, knocking on doors so he can talk to someone about this. He's really just a 14 year old boy and looks pretty defenseless in just his white cotton pants.]

[gleamed]

Oh, I'm not, either. [Though she packs quite a punch with a frying pan.] But not everyone has to fight, sooo...maybe we'll be lucky!

[ratpack]

Hopefully because I think anybody who has me at their side is pretty cursed. [He's always chosen last for teams for a reason.]

[gleamed]

[And what else...] Oh, and everything here is free. You can even live somewhere for free! That part isn't so bad.

[ratpack]

But then how does the economy work here? You can't have a place without an economy. Everything would go nuts and...

[Gordo is so confused...]

[gleamed]

Those Mal-noses in charge just make everything magically appear! I think.

[Something along those lines, anyway.]

[ratpack]

But then...

[He is so confused and he just isn't sure how to feel. He shakes his head.] This is just weird.

[gleamed]

Yeah, I knooow, right? Um...[Right, okay, other things need addressing!] You look pretty cold. I can take you to the clothes shop--it's not to far from here!

[ratpack]

Oh! [Right. He doesn't have a shirt. That's...awkward.] If you don't mind, a shirt would be pretty useful right about now.

[gleamed]

[Is it? Rapunzel knows awkward not. Which usually means she makes awkward situations worse.]

Right! Follow me, then! [She heads for the door.]

[ratpack]

[Yeah, being fourteen and shirtless around a pretty girl is a little awkward. But she's not really making a big deal about this so he'll try to play it cool.

He follows after her and notices her hair. Finally. That's a lot of hair.] Um. Nice hair?

[gleamed]

Oh, thank you! It's...pretty long, isn't it?

[That's the usual reaction, at least. She heads out the door and into the hallway, gathering up some of her hair into her arms.]

[ratpack]

Yeah, but it's, er. Pretty?

[Girls like it when their hair is called pretty, right?] It must be heavy, though.

[gleamed]

Why, thank you! [They sure do, Gordo.] It is pretty heavy, but I'm used to it! It's been long for as long as I can remember, anyway.

[And to the building's front door!]

[ratpack]

[Time for adventure! Or just. Time for a stroll to the clothes shop.] Your arms must be pretty strong then.

[gleamed]

[It's very exciting.] Oh--I guess they are! I mean, they're strong enough to throw my hair, at least. But I've had a lot of practice with that, too.

[ratpack]

Well, you're definitely making a fashion statement. [He's kind of curious why she's grown it that long, but it seems a little rude to just ask that.]

[gleamed]

Am I? [...What is a fashion statement. :|] Is...that a good thing?

[ratpack]

Unless you're a sheep, yes.

[Let's hope she knows that phrase.]
