MASTER: Arcade Aftermath
A battle was unfolding inside the arcade, and yet no one evacuated. As if hypnotized, their minds were glued to a single game kiosk and a single set of letters.
PLAYER: CMC. HIGH SCORE: ∞
Somehow, Carl had been the only one not to notice the sight, too focused on making off with his haul. However, Indigo Zap stopped him in his tracks with a single touch and one of the loudest yells he’d heard in a long time.
“Dude!” she screamed. “Check this shit out!”
Carl gestured to the animatronic she-demon that was still rampaging throughout the Chuck E. Cheese’s, only for Indigo to shake her head.
“That shit happens all the time,” she muttered. “What I meant was, check this shit out!”
She turned the hapless thief towards a ticket-eating machine, where a freshman with short fuchsia hair seemed to be feeding it an infinite amount of tickets. Everyone in the arcade looked on as the machine kept counting on and on: 10000, 10001, 10002…
It finally stopped at 25000, enough to buy nearly anything in the redemption booth and then some. The lucky gamer’s entourage could only watch in awe as she walked out with a brand-new Nintendo Switch. Even Diamond Tiara, the one person at Canterlot High everyone figured would certainly have one, was already devising a plot to mooch off of the freshman as much as she could.
Even if they were friends, there was just no way anyone could know that the richest girl in school didn’t even have a Switch. Above all, she had a reputation to keep.
Thoughts of days to come, however, were the last thing on Scootaloo’s mind as she skipped out of the Chuck E. Cheese’s, barely even noticing the rampaging she-demon. Who cared? She had a Switch, and she’d got it for free!
Sure, it’d taken all of her tokens to pull off such a feat, but what did Sweetie Belle know? What kind of gamer was she if she didn’t even know about this jackpot?
But then, Scootaloo remembered the most important thing of all. More important than Switches, or new friends, or proving Sweetie Belle wrong. Just thinking about it made her want to jump towards the sky and pump her fist into the air, the person she had become in that night at Chuck E. Cheese’s.
“Booyah! I am the master firefighter!"

It takes some true insanity to do what you just did, my friend.
Insanity that I would LOVE to see in future.

Dreams can do that to you.
This... this is gold!
Amusing but implausible. Indigo Zap may not be eighteen, which means that she can legally enter into a legal contract, and would require her parents’ permission. She also has no ownership rights to Crystal Prep, and thus cannot bet it to someone such as the owner of Chuck E. Cheese’s.

Valuable insight, but I didn’t really intend for this story to be legally plausible. Just...odd.
This is weird in a good way.
Interestingly, I don't think I've ever been in a Chuck E Cheese. Even more interestingly, just yesterday, I watched a short video about one of the founders, who apparently is now experimenting with new types of fuel, and accidentally blew up his lab.
THIS WAS SO WORTH PUTTING ON MY READ LATER LIST LAST NIGHT!
This is such a great laugh. Hahahahaha.
