Then the mother tries to take her home but her phone rings and while she is speaking on the phone, the girl sneaks away and crawls under an arcade machine and enters a portal through which she finds a forest. There she runs away from animated monsters and kills them with laser shooing sword.
When the final monster is killed she returns to the arcade with a large number of prize tickets, which she exchanges for a saxophone as the song starts the saxophone outro.
