Belle saw Rumple stick their dinner from last night into the strange box, but couldn't understand what exactly he was doing.
"Rumple, why are you doing that?"
"Doing what dearie?" he asked, confused at what she could possibly mean.
"Putting yesterdays dinner into that odd box."
"Oh. It's called a microwave. You use it to heat things up."
*BEEP BEEP*
Rumple took the hamburgers out of the microwave and handed them to Belle. "Here, try one, but don't forget the ketchup."
"This world's greatest magic, right?"
"Of course" he smiled at her sweetly.
Belle took a bite of the hamburger and was surprised to find it hot, just like it was last night. "That's incredible!" she said astounded.
-THE NEXT DAY-
Rumple heard a loud *BEEP BEEP* "What? Is that the fire alarm?" He raced out of his bedroom only to find Belle in the kitchen with a burnt ham, burnt bacon, and melted ice cream.
"Belle, what are you doing?" Rumple asked in confusion.
"I've been trying to use the micromaid."
"Microwave, and you could have woke me to help you."
"I felt I needed to learn on my own."
"Well what do you think now dearie?" he asked, making his Scottish accent more prominent on the last word.
"I think I'm okay with you helping me, as long as I don't have to eat any of this."
"Deal"
Then Rumple proceeded to show her which buttons to press.
"How's this?" Belle asked
"No, that's 10 minutes, not 1 minute. That would burn it. Also that's the cancel button, you need to press the start button, which is here"
As well as what amount of time was needed for certain items.
"To reheat something you usually only need 30-40 seconds."
"Like this?"
"No. You hit one more zero. That's 3 minutes."
"I'll never get this Rumple."
"You will dearie, we'll just need to use the microwave more."
