Steven and Hailee burst out of the exit door, disgruntled and coughing while charging out of a train car behind them. The train car is seemingly full to the brim with different types of air fresheners and perfumes, floating in the air and into their face as they walk by.
"Come again soon!" says a cloud of air freshener.
"Sure, anytime," Steven responds after closing the door and taking a second to vigorously cough out all the air fresheners stuck in his lungs
"Yeah let's both agree to never go back in there," Steven jokingly says to Hailee while hacking.
"I don't think I'll ever smell normal again, am I gonna die like this" Hailee jokingly responds.
Both share a laugh before heading to the next train car. They have gotten used to the view of the wasteland by now, and have taken a bit of enjoyment out of the bleak atmosphere of it all.
"Alright, place your bets, what's the next train car gonna be," Steven bets.
"Hmm...What about a car full of lamps, and there are like lamp people, who have made a town called Lampshire, but all the lamps there are really angry, which is why they are always lit, because they're always really firey with each other" Hailee says with a smile.
"Or what about like a red carpet car, and we have to walk the red carpet and pose for pictures with people with cameras for heads, and after all that we get to watch a movie, we could probably even get popcorn" Steven jokes, Hailee laughs and continues to spout random ideas before they make their way to the next door.
"Alright, ready to go in? Hopefully we won't have to fight off a bunch of angry lamps or the paparazzi" Steven says
"Don't worry, our smells will scare them off, nothing can defeat my aura of stench," Hailee says before bursting out in laughter along with Steven. The two open the next door, to find a large white room at least 3 stories tall. The walls are decorated in a romanesque style architecture, with floral decorations lining the walls. There is a long gold carpet leading to the other end of the room where there are 3 figures standing in the distance, two of which are holding hands.
"What is this place?" Hailee asks.
"I don't know, let's see," Steven says.
The two enter the room as the door closes behind them. As they get closer, they see that the three figures are standing over a large floral arch. The center one is reading from a book while the two other figures are across from each other, holding each other's hands.
"Aww, it's a wedding, I've never been to a wedding before," Hailee says.
"Really, I figured you would've seen at least one by now," Steven responds.
"Have you seen a wedding?" Hailee asks out of curiosity.
"Seen one? I can do you one better, I planned a wedding! I'm practically a wedding expert by now." Steven brags with a smug grin.
"Wow, I wish I could plan a wedding, I'd make everything reptile themed! The tables, the flowers, all of it will be lizards" Hailee says excited by the idea.
"At that point you might as well be marrying two lizards" Steven responds.
"WAIT, you can do that?" Hailee asks, not really realizing Steven was joking.
Suddenly, Steven hears a "SHHHHH" coming from the audience. The closer of a look they get, the more they realize that this isn't a normal wedding. The bride, the groom, the priest, and the audience are all stereotypically shaped robots, with square heads and antennas sticking out of their bodies.
