Stephanie sighed as she walked down the sidewalk, her mp3 player in her right hand, listening to music as she walked.
She was listening to one of her favorite songs on it, but Stephanie decided to not listen to music anymore since how bored she is now.
So, she turned her mp3 player off and put it away in her blue jeans pocket, after stopping in front of an arcade building.
After Stephanie placed her mp3 player in her blue jeans pocket, she glanced up from looking down at her sides, sighing gently to herself.
Then, the door to the arcade building opened from the right-hand side of where she is, as a crowd of people waiting at the entrance entered.
She watched as the swarm of people entered the arcade, wondering to herself of how could the building hold that many people inside?
Stephanie glanced up at the sign that is above the store that reads, "Litwak's Arcade."
Glancing back down at the arcade, a man stepped out from inside, glancing around for anyone else.
The owner of the arcade is a tall man, with brown hair with gray streaks and a mustache.
He wears an identical soccer uniform, a black and white striped shirt with a black collar, with a black electric watch on the left wrist.
He has a pair of pants in the color of dandelions, with keys on the left-hand side of his waist and a quarter dispenser on the right side.
On the left-hand side of his chest is a name tag that reads "Stan Litwack."
He also wears a pair of white socks and a pair of shoes in the color of granola.
The owner notices her standing on the sidewalk, looking curious about what is going on.
She noticed the man standing out in the opening and looked curious.
"Hey, what are you waiting for?" he called over to her, as she gently tilted her head to the side. "Come on in!"
She hesitated for a moment, before glancing side to side for a moment and glanced back at him, who was still waiting patiently for her.
Deciding to kill some time that is left, Stephanie walked over to the arcade store, glancing at him for a moment, before entering the store.
When she entered the store, Stephanie was encountered with many, many arcade games.
Some games were dancing games; some were games where you can paint pictures on, throwing games, hitting games, many arcade games that wowed her.
She felt a little nervous about playing the games since she is a "master" at games.
The owner of the store noticed Stephanie glancing around after he had closed the door behind his back.
He walked up to her side, looking confused about why Stephanie seems so hesitant to play arcade games.
"What's wrong?" he asked as she looked at him. "You're acting as if someone's going to hurt you when they come here."
"N-No." she stammered, moving a lock of her hair over her ear, feeling a little worried about his reaction to her being half robot. "I'm just surprised at how many games there are in this place. I don't know which one to choose."
He gently chuckled from her remark at the number of games there are inside, not even reacting to her.
Stephanie felt confused about why he was not surprised when he finally noticed, staring or looking suspicious of her.
He glanced back at the people, sighing gently, as he had his hands on his hips, watching the people playing the games and using their quarters.
"My nana would be proud of me," he spoke as Stephanie gently smiled.
He glanced back at her and noticed her metal arm, along with her eye and wires.
"Did you get into an accident?" he asked, gently taking her hand into his.
Confused, she glanced down at her metal arm and glanced back at him, before gently pulling her hand away from his.
She answered his question by lying to him without making any notice that she was rubbing her right arm with her left, "Yes, I did."
He paused for a moment, before asking, "One more question, do you have any quarters?"
"Yeah, I have plenty." Stephanie smiled, reaching into her sweater pockets and pulled out a quarter. "I usually collect them during my adventures."
"That is clever of you," he remarked, looking impressed. "But, are you able to play games with that arm of yours?"
She glanced down at her right hand after placing the quarter back into her sweater pocket and chuckled.
"Yeah, I am." Stephanie smiled. "The doctors did give me a modified arm since our family is rich."
Playfully, she placed her first finger against her lips, shushing him gently.
"Just don't tell the others," Stephanie added, giggling softly.
He nodded his head, chuckling along with her before saying, "If you see something weird with the games, or nothing is working properly, call me. My name is Mr. Litwak."
Stephanie nodded her head excitedly, and he walked off, watching the view for any misbehaved children or any fights.
After he had left, she decided to look at the games in the arcade and pick which one to play first.
She slowly scanned the area from left to right, feeling a little overwhelmed by how many arcade games there are and how many of them were taken by the kids.
But, Stephanie relaxed her nervous heart from beating too fast and noticed one of them was not playing.
It was an arcade game in the back of the arcade building, at the position of the doors, and it reads, "Fix-It-Felix, Jr."
The name of the game curious Stephanie, as she gently cocked her head to the side.
Deciding to play that game rather than waiting for the other players to finish playing, she walked over to the front of the game, staring at it for a moment.
The game looked ancient, but there was still color on it, and the characters on it looked cute.
Smirking slightly, Stephanie knelt to her right knee to look at the slots for the quarters.
Reaching into her pocket, Stephanie pulled out the same quarter that she had pulled out before to show at Mr. Litwak, looking at it for a moment, before glancing back over at the coin slots.
She put the quarter through the first slot, that reads "Player 1."
Stephanie stood back up after putting the coin through the first slot and gently pushed her glasses up with the first finger of her right hand.
After gently pushing her glasses up into place, she placed her hands on the controllers, the right on the buttons to jump the character and to use the weapon.
Her left is on the joystick to move the character around in the game.
A cutscene played before the game started, and it shows a forest, filled with green pixel trees as a stump was in the middle of the grassy plain.
Then, a large pixelated man appeared from the right-hand side on the screen, walking over to the stump.
The man has spiky red hair, fair skin color, and black eye color.
He is wearing a red undershirt, with dark red overalls, one strap only, and barefoot.
The man got in behind the stump and fell asleep while sinking inside the stump.
Stephanie could not help herself but smirk to herself from the moment he fell asleep inside.
After the man fell asleep in the stump, a bulldozer came and pushed the stump, pushing it until it reaches a stack of bricks and a sign that reads, "DUMP."
The giant man inside the stump woke up and popped out, noticing he is in a dump.
An annoyed look came across his face and said, as a speech bubble appeared above his head, "Hey! You moved my stump!"
No one came to him to move his stump back after a minute passed.
'Rude.' Stephanie thought to herself, sighing irritably sightly.
He got furious as he glanced back at the player, hitting the tree trunk with his fists, growling angrily.
Stephanie could understand why this guy was a bad guy in the first place and could not help but agree with him if the same thing happened to her.
Then, the scenery changed, showing two cranes building a building, and once it was finished, a line of tiny people entered inside, close the doors behind their backs.
After they had entered inside, the tall bad guy appeared on the left-hand side of the building, staring up at it for a moment with an angry expression on his face.
Then, he glanced over at Stephanie with the same expression on his face.
Then, he raised his fists up over his head, as a speech bubble appeared above his head again, saying, "I'm gonna wreck it!"
He moved in front of the building as he waved his fists and stomped his feet, smashing every window there was.
Then, he climbed up the right-hand side of the building, smashing a hole through the building, as one of the short people cried out.
He snatched the man in his hand, as he was flailing his arms around as pixelated sweat drops came off him.
In a single move, he tossed the character out of the frame as he gave out a scream and climbed up the building, making a big mess as he turned back around.
The rest of the characters popped out from the windows, crying out as the big guy was still at the top of the destroyed building, "Fix it, Felix!"
At the same moment, a golden hammer appeared on the right-hand side of the screen and near the building.
A hammer appeared in the middle of the air, waiting for someone to appear and take ahold of it.
From the right-hand side of the screen appeared a young man who looked like a repairman.
He took the golden hammer in his hand, with a proud grin on his face.
"I can fix it!" he declared, as Stephanie blinked, remembering that is her cue to play the game.
Moving the character, she pressed the fix button and fixed the windows, as the big guy at the top was hitting his hands on the ground underneath him, causing bricks to fall towards him.
She dodged the bricks as she played, fixing every window broken from the wrecker at the top while keeping an eye out for the falling stones.
After a while of playing the game, dodging bricks, and fixing windows, she seems to believe this is a never-ending game.
Until she heard a "Yoohoo!" from one of the tiny people who had entered the apartment earlier in the game and noticed one of them peeking from the window.
Then, the person placed a pie out of the window and on the ledge.
Deciding to get the pie, she moved the character to the treat.
When he got it, he ate the pie as his hat turned into various colors.
The big guy at the top smashed the ground as more bricks fell, some blocks landing on top of the character's head.
She felt worried it might be game over when nothing happened after they had fallen off.
He only smiled and raised his hammer up, as it shimmered.
In a flash, the character quickly fixed all the windows in one sweep, as he stopped at one of the windows, his hammer held up over his head.
When the character fixed all the windows, a text appeared above the apartment, reading, "You fixed it!"
After that, the next cutscene played, as Stephanie watched.
It showed everyone at the top of the building, as a medal appeared in the cloud, then got around the character's neck.
The same tiny female character that gave the character the power-up was standing right next to him as Stephanie watched in curiosity.
She gave the character a pie before jumping up to his height and kissed his cheek, leaving a lipstick kiss mark.
Stephanie glanced at the wrecker in curiosity, thinking he was not smiling since he did not win the game when she stopped herself, noticing something about him.
He was actually smiling.
It was rather strange for a villain to smile.
Usually, when a villain is smiling, that means the player has another level to play.
Shrugging to herself, she continued watching as the tiny characters picked him up from the ground, as he stared at her, still smiling.
He was tossed over the side of the building, as he cried out and landed face-first on the ground, in the mud.
She expected a game over or a level 2 for her when the screen suddenly glitches unexpectedly.
Confused, she thought she broke the game herself, feeling her stomach clenches in worry.
Before she could turn around to call Mr. Litwak when the glitching of the game got worse.
She watched as the screen changed from different colors, and showed different characters on it, from different sections of the game.
The last thing she knew as the glitching worsens, she was gone, vanishing in midair as the glitching stopped, showing the game title of the arcade game.
