Requested by Anon on tumblr: Mikannie art/drabble prompt: Annie and Mikasa spend a day at a theme park (Like Hershey park or something) and waste tons of money and effort trying to win prizes for one another on those impossible arcade games, like the ring toss ones.. Annie ends up leaving with a teddy bear as big as herself that Mikasa /somehow/ won for her
I haven't seen these in theme parks in Belgium, but we have small traveling ones here, so I'll just go with what I know.
Theme park
Annie put a coin in the machine and grabbed the joystick. Locked within the glass box were a few teddy bears, and Annie found them so cute she just had to have one. Mikasa stood at the side of the box, watching her.
They had been here at least ten minutes, and the blonde simply wouldn't give up. Sure the little bears were cute, but to waste tons of money on a nearly impossible game? Mikasa ran a hand over her face, she'd rather be at the shooting stand, letting out some steam.
She looked up as she heard Annie grunt, and saw her grabbing her purse again. She walked to her and put a hand on her shoulder.
"Babe, are you really going to try again?"
"Yes. I just want that teddy, and I've still got a couple of coins."
Mikasa sighed. "I'm going to step outside for a bit." She kissed Annie's cheek and left.
The shooting stand was only a little further, but they hadn't passed by it yet. She looked at the prizes and shook her head in disbelieve. "Annie you idiot." A huge version of the very teddy Annie had spent so much on already stood on a pedestal.
She walked over to the man tending the stand. "I want that big one." She pointed.
He laughed. "You'd have to shoot a hundred chalks for that."
She slammed a bill on the counter. "Give me a gun."
He smiled and gave her what she needed. Mikasa silently thanked Mr. Leonhardt for insisting that she learned how to shoot, even the reloading went with practiced ease. Even with this, her reputation of picking things up fast wasn't harmed.
With an urgency not to let Annie spend too much money, she shot away at the chalks. Most people would need several shots to take one down, even if they all hit, but she only needed one.
A lot of people had gathered to watch her. The smile was long gone from the man's face, his expression leaning more to worry now.
"Okay, Okay." He interrupted her. "I get it, you really want it."
Mikasa looked at him with raised eyebrows. He leaned in over the counter and spoke softly so the bystanders wouldn't hear.
"Those bullets and chalks cost quite some money, so if you're going to keep going like this it's better for me if you just take the prize already."
"Really?"
"Yeah, so just put the gun down. You've attracted quite a few people too, so this seems like a good deal to me."
Mikasa did as he told, and he handed her the teddy bear. As the crowd parted to let her leave, she heard him call out to the people, no doubt earning some new costumers.
Annie still stood in front of the machine, digging in her purse.
"Annie."
"Just a few more tries."
"Annie."
"I swear I had two coins left in here."
"Annie." the blonde looked up when she felt something touch her.
She couldn't see Mikasa behind the giant bear she held.
"Oh my god, Mikasa! Where did you get it?"
"The shooting stand. Apparently you get a discount when you're really good at shooting. I should thank your dad."
Annie found her way around the giant bear, pulling Mikasa down to kiss her hard.
"I love you so much." She said as she took the teddy into her arms. "This thing is almost as big as me."
"Yeah, and you're both filled with nothing but fluff." Mikasa placed a kiss on her pink cheek. "Can we go home now? It's getting late."
