Outside of Funland Arcade, Steven turns on a water faucet and he and Isabella wash sand off of their feet.

Amethyst approaches them as Isabella turns the water faucet off.

"Hey, Steven, Isabella. You wanna try some special new french fries?" Amethyst offers them a cup full of red french fries.

"Oh, I just ate." Isabella says.

"Do I?!" Steven eats a handful of fries.

Amethyst chuckles as Isabella and Steven join in. Steven stops however when his face begins to turn red.

"Steven, you ok?" Isabella asks.

"HOT!" Steven yells.

"They're special because they're seasoned with Fire Salt!" Amethyst pulls out a vial of Fire Salt to show them.

"Steven, the faucet!" Isabella yells.

Steven, face still burning red, quickly attempts to turn the faucet back on but the spigot breaks off. He runs off, Amethyst looking at him happily.

"Steven, wait!" Isabella runs after him.

Steven bursts in, rushes to the soda fountain and sprays two types of soda in his mouth, causing the excess soda to spill onto the floor forming a large puddle.

"Steven! What are you-Whaa-!" Lars slips on the puddle and falls on his side.

"Steven, there you are-whoa...what happened here?" Isabella asks.

Steven pants, out of breath, as his tongue was out, "Sorry, Lars."

Lars slowly stands up, "Ugh, Steven! Who do you think has to clean up this mess?...Sadie, clean up this mess."

"No way, it's your turn. I cleaned the last five Stevens." Sadie told him as she put some boxes down.

"Aww, come on. That fall messed up my back." Lars rubs his side, "It hurts, really bad."

Sadie rolls her eyes, "Fine." she walks over to the puddle, holding a mop and a bucket, "Move aside, I'll take care of this. Could you grab the soap?"

Lars belts out a faked anguished groan and contorts his body into a pained position, "Oh! It hurts! Sooo much!"

"Maybe you should take the day off." Sadie suggests.

Lars snaps upright, "Okay! You gonna be fine on your own?"

"Well, I guess so, but-"

Lars walks out, "You're the best, Sadie!"

"It's no problem-Wait, I can't run this place by myself!"

Steven and Isabella take a large pile of napkins and drop then directly on the puddle.

"We can help, Sadie." Isabella reassured her friend, putting a hand on her shoulder.

"This place has given us so many delicious donuts. It's time we gave back." Steven adds.

Sadie gives them the Big Donut uniform. They both put their uniforms on. Steven gasps in excitement.

"I always knew I would look good in this uniform." Isabella smiles.

I hereby deputise you as Lars-for-the-day. Now, it's time I showed you the Employee Room." Sadie opens a door and the three enter the room.

The Employee Room was populated by several large supply boxes on the right, over a dozen Donut boxes lining the back left, and a CRT TV, two folding chairs, and a small circular table furnishing the front left.
