After what felt like ages, everyone realized that Mavis had nailed every single shot. The crowd couldn’t help but burst into excitement.
“No way, that was amazing!”
“Holy cow, she hit every target!”
“Is she even human?”
“She’s a real sharpshooter! I can’t believe a girl’s this good!”
“I’ve never seen a girl this incredible. She’s definitely a first!”
“She’s so awesome!”
“She’s incredible. I think I’ve got a crush on her!”
“And she’s gorgeous, too, but on top of that, she can shoot like a pro.”
Mavis looked at the range owner and grinned, “I got them all. So, what do I win?”
She handed the BB gun back to the owner, who glanced at her with a complicated expression. Still, Mavis had drawn a crowd to his booth, so he was in a pretty good mood overall. After all, it’s not like someone comes along and aces the game every day. So when it came time to hand out the prize, he was generous. He reached behind the counter and pulled out a huge teddy bear. “This giant bear’s the grand prize. Congratulations, sweetheart!”
Mavis stared at the bear, stunned. She hadn’t expected it to be so massive. It was almost as big as she was!
She took the bear, a little dazed, suddenly unsure what to do next. How was she supposed to keep playing games or walk around the fair carrying this thing?
As she hesitated, she caught the eye of a little girl nearby. The girl was staring at the bear with wide, hopeful eyes, clearly wanting it more than anything.
Mavis looked at the bear, then at the girl.
The little girl, mustering some courage, asked, “Excuse me, can I touch your teddy bear?”
Mavis smiled. “Of course. Do you like it?”
The girl nodded eagerly, “Yeah, he’s so cute!”
It was obvious that she adored the bear.
