"Where to next?" Questioned Mabel as Steven handed her a donut. Steven thought for a moment, bringing his finger to his chin lightly tapping, he reached into the bag pulling out another donut and took a bite.
His eyes lit up and he shoved the rest of the donut into his mouth, "We could go to the arcade."
"Sounds fun," she said after finishing her donut.
"Onwards!" Steven yelled as he started to run towards the arcade. Mabel followed after him chuckling as she ran.
She stood in amazement at all the games before her. They had an arcade in Gravity falls but they hadn't been back to it ever sense Soos got stuck in the machine and Dipper brought that fighter to life. This arcade was amazing though it didn't look like anything was going to have some magical curse combo move.
Of course she couldn't tell Steven all of that so she settled on, "Look at all these games."
"So what you wanna play?" Asked Steven walking around the game room.
"I don't know, we don't have any of these games where I'm from, unless you have a game called Fight Fighters." She chuckled for a minute and Steven shot her a questioning glance.
"Why is that game funny?" He looked at her like she was about to go on an epic gem rampage, maybe he shouldn't have trusted her.
"Uh… no reason just an inside joke between me and my brother. Is there a dancing game?"
He nodded, "Yeah right over here" he stated walking over to a game called meat mania.
"So how do you play?" She questioned as she picked up the meat controllers.
"All you do is whatever the screen says" He really didn't know how else to explain it.
"Sounds easy enough" she said as she dropped a quarter into the slot. The machine begins to play the familiar music and Mabel began to dance to the meat
"Garnet once got hypnotized by this game" he stated matter of factly.
She nudge him, "Well don't let that happen to me."
"I won't" he drops a quarter in and picks up the little drumsticks.
"Good, cause I'm totally gonna win" Mabel spoke as she started to dance harder than she has ever had in her life.
"Nuh uh" was all he could say as they started an epic meat dance battle.
It was a couple hours later and both had no more quarters left and it all came down to this game.
"I think I won" Mabel answered happily.
"No you haven't" Steven said as the screen flashed player two wins across it.
"Aww, what?" Mabel questioned as Steven started to run around happily, "Good job." Mabel held out her hand. Steven ran by and high fived the girl. Now that the game was over an meat mania king had been crowned, Mabel questioned the boy, "Where to next?"
He once again thought for a moment before deciding what to do next, "We could go to the temple and watch TV, I could also introduce you to the other gems."
"I don't know why we would go to a temple to watch TV but ok," Steven ran to the temple with Mabel close at his heels.
"I'M HOME," yelled Steven.
"There's no need to yell Steven we're right here," Pearl walked over, "Oh who's your new friend?" She grew somewhat worried remembering what happened last time he had made a friend that wasn't from Beach City. She shivered slightly remembering the horrid experience.
"I'm Mabel."
Garnet got up from the couch and walked over to the small group, "Hello Mabel. Steven"
Pearl leaned over and somewhat whispered to Garnet, "Can we trust her?"
Garnet could only nod before Mabel interjected, "Yes I'm to be trusted, I mean why would I not be? I have adorable sweaters, a pet pig, and a twin brother," She counted the list off on her fingers.
"And she's good at meat mania!" Steven added.
"Well if you say so," Pearl bent down and extended her hand, "Nice to meet you, I'm Pearl." Mabel reached out and took Pearls hand in a hand shake. "Isn't that the game that got Garnet hypnotized?"
