Alliance: Golden Queen

Robert

"That's no to bad." Gold nodded thinking about the name, "Robert." He walked over and looked in the mirror.

"Okay Robert, let's go."

They went out to the car. Regina got in the drivers seat and Gold in the passengers. He turned around in his seat and extended his hand, "I'm Robert Gold."

Henry took his hand and shook it, "I'm Henry. It's nice to meet you."

"Strong hand shake." He nodded to the boy before turning around.

"Um... Thanks."

Soon they arrived at the local ice cream shop, 'Any Given Sunday'. When they got there, they all went in and ordered their ice cream. Then sat down to eat.

"So, you own the town?" Henry asked Gold between bites.

"Excuse me?" Gold asked surprised.

"That's what Granny said. That you own the town."

Regina snickered.

"Did she now? I don't know about that, but what I do know is that you are definitely your mother's son."

Henry looked confused for a moment before asking another question, "Why did you mom name you Robert?"

Gold took a deep breath remembering his mother, "I was named Robert because it fit I suppose."

"Okay I'm going to the bathroom, I'll be back." Regina got up and walked away.

"Tell me about your parents."

"You are just full of questions, aren't you?"

"Are you avoiding my question Mr. Gold?"

"No at all." He lied, "My parents weren't around much when I was young."

"Oh, I'm sorry."

"No need. I turned out fine."

Henry looked over him, "umhm"

Gold scoffed. Soon Regina returned and sat back down, "I'm glad to see you two get along. I have some things to do, but maybe you would like to take Henry back to your shop."

"I would, but I'm quite busy. I'm actually off to Granny's Dinner after this." He answered.

"Please! I can help." Henry begged.

Regina looked at Gold. "Fine. Gather you things. I'm leaving in five minutes."

Henry grabbed his bag and Gold went to pay. Then they went out to Gold's car. Regina told them bye and started walking to her office.

Henry ran up to the Cadillac and climbed in the passengers seat.

Gold walked up to, "You will be sitting in the back."

"Mom let's me ride in the front."

"Yes, but you are ridding in the back of my car."

Henry huffed and got in the back. "Okay."

Gold climbed in the driver's side and buckled his seat belt. "Buckle your seat belt. Also, don't put your feet one any of the seats, the console, or the door."

When they got to the shop, Gold led Henry inside.

"Wow!" Henry looked around the small shop.

"I'm going to the back room." Gold started for the back room. He stopped a few feet away from the door. He slowly turned around to find Henry on inches from grabbing a a fragile glass, "Oh, and uh, don't touch anything."
