"You have got to be kidding me," Katalina spoke aloud of the piece of mail she received. She had signed up for some sort of Secret Santa thing, curious as to what it was, and she got the Crocodile?! She knew the man seemed to have changed from what he once was before, but the fact still remained: Katalina Watson was not a fan of Mr. Gold. To be honest, Kat was considering not getting the dark one anything for Christmas. She hadn't planned on doing it before, why change her plan just because of this secret santa thing?

Then Kat sighed. The Christmas Spirit must be messing with her, because she knew it wasn't right to sign up for something and then back out of it. Plus, if Rumpelstiltskin really did change and was in love with this Belle person he kept putting on this list, then maybe they weren't going all gung ho for revenge against the twerp. Killian had Emma now, but Kat still had no idea what to give to the man!

Slapping the list against her thigh, Katalina groaned and went to the store. She couldn't go to Gold's shop to get his present; he'd know what it was instantly, and even she wanted to surprise him at this point. She searched for hours on end, wishing that a present for Rumpelstiltskin would simply fall in her lap and she wouldn't have to waste her days shopping for that man. And then she remembered: her dad's knife set.

It was pure gold. Katalina remembered Stewart's love for gold, and when she had gone to the site where they were hidden with the other gold, she chose to keep them. Why? She had no idea. Which was why she thought it would be perfect for the crocodile. That or a ticking clock, ha.

Katalina knew that the crocodile seemed to be in love with Belle, and she wanted to do something more so she wrote a letter with the knife set and set it in the box before wrapping it, not hardly believing that she was being so...giving to this man. After she wrapped it, she changed clothes and went to Mr. Gold's Pawn shop. She stopped outside the door, eying it suspiciously. She was sure she looked suspicious staring at the door, but for the moment she couldn't seem to get any closer. Because that would mean that she would face the crocodile by herself. Well, she did tell Killian she would leave him alive for Killian to kill...

With a breath, Katalina walked in, hearing the ding announcing her entrance. She glared up at the bell, and then proceeded to the counter.

Note Says:

Merry Christmas Mr. Gold,
This note is a one time offer to hire a cook free of charge! Katalina is offering to cook for you and the Mrs. for a special night that you so choose. Should it be Anniversary, Birthday, or just a special night in general.
Again Merry Christmas.

Spending time with Belle was the greatest thing in the world for Gold. She was really the only one who believed in him. Maybe Henry would truly believe in Gold someday, but Belle had always seemingly seen the best in Gold. People often stopped by his shop to look for gifts for loved ones, and during the holidays, this trend seemed to happen a lot more. So spending time with Belle and running a pawn shop, despite not really needing the money, during the holidays was quite the tiring prospect, even for the Dark One himself.

None the less, when he heard the bell to his shop ring out loud he came out and approached the front of ship shop, spotting someone he didn't really know to well, but he knew her to be in league with Hook himself. Thinking that she was merely a customer would of been foolish of him. No, instead he eyed her suspiciously as she seemed to be holding a gift of some time with a note on it. "What can I do for you, dearie?" He asked her as he stood at the counter of his shop.

Even though he thought this was some sort of trick set up by Hook himself, Rumple was of course gonna be as professional as he could. That was one part of his reputation that he knew people at least appreciated, his professionalism, and he wasn't about to soil it just because a mysterious women had entered his shop. "Looking for a gift for someone?" He asked her.

Katalina was simply looking around the shop when Rumpelstiltskin appeared from behind the counter somewhere. She stared at him a moment, her lips in a firm, thin line. She was refraining herself from lashing out at him, but she took a deep breath, trying to calm her nerves.

Forcing a smile, Katalina approached the counter with caution. "You must be the infamous Rumpelstiltskin, right? The one that-" she stopped herself a moment before redirecting her thought process. "has a more than obvious interest in Belle?"

Katalina then smiled more genuinely, hesitantly holding out her hand for a shake. That part was the noblewoman in her, always needing to be polite when officially meeting someone. "I'm Katalina Watson. A friend of Killian's. And I'm not looking for a gift to give someone. I'm looking for you."

"That would be an understatement dearie." Gold responded to her when she said that he had an obvious interest in Belle. "But yes, I am Rumplestiltskin, among other names." Gold responded to her question, some of those names were not so flattering. Such as The Imp, or Crocodile, and so on. Most commonly he was called Mr. Gold and The Dark One. He looked at her suspiciously however when she held out her hand for him to presumably shake and mentioned being friends with Killian.

He hesitantly took her handshake offer and shook her hand. Gold then continued to look at her. "And why would Katalina, friend of Killian be looking for me for?" He asked her, his voice sounding suspicious. Seeing as Hook was one of Golds biggest enemies, then dropping his name was probably not a good way to avoid Rumplestiltskin being suspicious of your actions. None the less, he wasn't about to be afriad of her, seeing as she couldn't hurt him anyways.

Katalina didn't know if being called dearie was something she liked, but she did wonder if he seemed to call everyone that these days. She kept a smile on her face, however, as they shook hands. "Understatement, indeed." She clasped the box that she held below the counter, wondering why in the world she was going through with this.

Katalina knew that she didn't have to do anything, but for some reason, she felt like Christmas was the time to push differences aside and cause a smile on everyone's face. The one time a year there could actually be peace and quiet. Maybe that was why she was going through the Secret Santa ordeal.

"Well, believe it or not," Katalina started. "I signed up for the Secret Santa thing, and well...I'm your Secret Santa so I'm here to give you your gift if you want it." With that, she put the box and the note on the counter in front of him. "Merry Christmas, Rumpelstiltskin."
