Stage Flight Follies, Get Ready For a Showdown!

The blue and silver doors opened with a swing, revealing the second room of this tour. It had a cacophony of things that made it safe to assume that this room was the kitchen. There was a stove, a microwave and many other things used to store and make food. Dawn spun around, the sweetly delicate air going through her nose and course though her lungs. And as she exhaled, a smile widened on her young face. It felt just like home. "So this is the kitchen?" Hat Kid nodded, the purple and yellow top hat sliding on her head while she did. It was almost like it was too big for her, yet she kept it on anyway. Dawn giggled to herself from the observation, it was sweet, just like this place. The two girls seemed more than eager to show Dawn around their humble abode.

The snowflake-clipped girl opened the fridge to find it was stocked, which meant that they had a good supply. Eventually Dawn closed it as the cold air was sealed shut. A grumble soon rumbled as the snow queen glanced down at the top hatted girl. "Ya hungry Hat?" Dawn inquired, her eyes on Hat Kid. She nodded. "Yeah... I'm starving." Dawn wished she could make something- then realized she never took her backpack off, remembering that she did have food on her! She packed snacks in case she wanted to eat some while adventuring. Dawn slipped her backpack off and quickly unzipped it. Seconds went by quickly as Dawn searched through clothes and essentials to grab something for Hat Kid, until she found a small container filled with her favorite treat: brookies. "Here ya go. A small treat from my home dimension." Dawn announced, fondly handing Hat the sweet treat. It wasn't the only thing she had on her, Dawn also packed other sweets in plastic bags and containers like a ricecrispy treat, some mac & cheese, ramen and a bit of pandebono bread. Hat Kid examined the brookie, acting as though she had never seen anything like it. Strange, normally little kids know exactly what it is by the sight alone. With enough courage, Hat took a bite, her eyes were filled with stars soon after. "Mmm, mhm, mmhm, MHM! This is SO good- what is this? It's so yummy! It's like a cookie? No,no a brownie maybe? A cookie-brownie- brown... brownie-cookie? What is this?" Dawn grinned, she was generally surprised by the reaction alone, but at least she liked it. "It's a brookie. It's basically a cookie and a brownie in one dish. I helped my big sister make these before I left." Dawn smiled with nostalgia by her side, the memories in the kitchen made it a place of laughter and joy that echoed even at this moment in time.

The room then regained life as the lights flickered on and the darkness evaporated. The kitchen was prettier with the lights on, from the checkered tiled floors down to the gradient wallpaper. Bow came bursting in with an excited smile, eager to share the good news with both of them. The duo already had a good feeling that Bow had gotten the power back. She must've been pretty quick if she knew what she was doing. "Alright! I got the power back up and running! Now we won't be cold on the ship without the Time Pieces in the vault." Dawn's mouth dropped agape, silently gasping at what the ribboned child was most likely implying. Now that sets a different tone for the hourglasses, especially since she mentioned it so casually. They were used for another energy source? Such as powering the ship. It made sense since the place was only lit by the windows in the spaceship when Dawn first arrived here.

To disperse of the dark undertones, Dawn tore another piece of a brookie for not only herself, but for Bow as well. "Here ya go Bow. I've got something to tide us over before I can probably make us something to eat." Bow Kid smiled sheepishly, shyly accepting the offer and digging in. She had the exact same reaction Hat Kid did when she bit into the scrumptious treat. And that was even stranger, a story for another day. When they finished, Hat Kid adjusted her top hat, getting the original topic back on track. "So, what other parts would you like me to show you?" Hat asked, unsure where to take the tour next but kept level headed with a smug grin. "Hmmm..." Dawn pondered, tapping her index finger to her chin. Decisions, decisions, so many possibilities in decisions. Perhaps- "Maybe the bedroom? I mean- I don't exactly have a place to stay since I'm gonna be here awhile." Hat Kid giggled as she took Dawn's hand. "Not at all, com'on! Let's go!"
