Dudley followed Petunia as they made there way toward one of the many arcades in the Pizzaplex. They were passing one of the second floor Pizzaplex arcades when Dudley saw it's prize shelf. He slowed a little looking over the prizes. Some of them could be really cool, so he did want to see if they had anything exclusive.
"Want to go in?" His mother asked, her voice incredibly soft. He nodded, excited. Something about winning a prize was different then being given something. Maybe it was because he was always being given things. There was something special about winning a prize that just made him feel proud and something else warm in his chest. He often displayed things he'd won more prominently on his shelves in his actual room rather than in the room that he kept all the things he only liked sometimes if at all. He was pretty excited as he tugged his mother toward the display where they had the prizes set up. He looked over them. There were several really cool things. There were several nicer Glamrock figures. There was a hand held gaming case. There were several stuffed toys of various sizes for the Glamrocks, and other Fazbear Franchise characters. There were the staples that tended to be at any of these prize counters; finger, traps, fake mustaches, fake lips, various candies, fidget toys (Vernon hated those so Dudley would ignore them even though he liked them), noise makers, dollar store toy packs, etc. Dudley looked over the prizes of various difficulties. He liked to work toward a specific prize when he could. He'd have the rest of the week to get the prize so he wanted to pick one that he'd really get something out of. He was checking the top shelf when he spotted one of the prizes. The highest difficulty, but that was it. The prize that he wanted.
"Oh, picked one out?" Petunia asked. "Which one?"
"That one!" Dudley said pointing to the prize.
"A sleep over party pass?" Petunia asked.
"Yeah, for the daycare!" Dudley said.
"Do you want to sleep over at the daycare?" Petunia asked. "We could-"
"No, it's for Harrie-eh, yeah, 'cause that way we don't have to have him around for the -ugh rest of the trip." Dudley said. Petunia smiled at him.
"Alright, that's the hardest prize to win," Petunia said thoughtfully, standing up. "You want to know a secret trick to earn the most amount of tickets, the fastest?" Dudley nodded grinning. He was going to win something for Harriette with his mother. She was going to share her secret mom wisdom. "Alright, lets go over there." She winked, smile brighter then her jewelry.
They went over to one of the games, that was about rolling a ball into some holes. the difficulty varying and the amount of points you earned varying by difficulty. The number of tickets and points were equal. Dudley looked skeptical. He wasn't sure he'd be able to get the marks right.
"I'll teach you a trick for the perfect throw," Petunia said.
After a few hours of gaming they'd ammassed enough tickets to get the daycare sleepover pass. Somehow Dudley was even more proud of himself them he usually was when he got a prize he'd been working towards. Maybe it was because he knew Harriette would like it, not having to sleep in the bathroom, not having to worry about Vernon. She'd be around people who were looking after her and making her feel safe and happy for once. Dudley felt himself glowing with pride and even more warmth then usual. He took his mother's hand as they went out of the arcade to look for something else to do.
