He gives their first date a lot of thought. He talks to people. He does research. Finally, he manages to settle on a little Italian place that's got great ratings and reviews, that's fancy without being overbearing. He wants to give Rapunzel a chance to dress up, if she wants to. He doesn't have a suit made by her, yet, but he goes shopping again and finds a dark suit and shirt combo that he thinks works.

He's inexplicably nervous as he climbs the stairs to her apartment and knocks. In his hands, there's a bouquet of flowers, carefully chosen -- he'd gone with wildflowers in pinks and purples, flashes of yellow. They'd seemed more fitting for her than something more formal.

God, he wants this to go well.

It took a little convincing, but Pascal agrees to stay home while Rapunzel goes on her date. He’s not particularly thrilled about it, but she knows that it’s just because he’s worried about her. She’s a little worried about herself, too.

But really, she’s mostly just excited. And a little nervous. This is only her second first date, after all.

She dresses up a little, adding sheer tights and a white cardigan to the dress for warmth. She does her hair in an intricate braid, weaving in baby’s breath and wildflowers, and keeps her make up neutral. She’s just pulling on a pair of purple flats when there’s a knock at the door, and Pascal hops over onto her shoulder as she stands.

“Be nice,” she reminds him, and Pascal grumbles as she heads over to open the door, smiling widely at the sight of Keys standing there, looking adorably nervous and holding flowers. “Hi! Come in.”
