Prompt: Winning a teddy for the other
Set after Chris Tomlin is a Dipwad.
"Come on, Zucchini,"Ben urged.
"Wait,"Zucchini said, stuffing his mouth with funnel cake.
"Come on, there's more food."
"I'm coming."
"You're so slow, my dude."
Vince gave him a look.
"Come on, there's a thingie where you can win a teddy bear,"he said.
"I have terrible aim,"Zucchini complained.
Ben opened his mouth to say, Yeah, no shit, but was silenced by another one of Vince's looks.
"I'll win one for you, then,"he amended.
"Or I will,"Vince said. "Knowing Ben's aim."
"Fair enough,"Zucchini said. "Where are the others?"
"They're on the rides, probably about to vomit,"Ben replied.
The trio had opted to ride first, then eat, as opposed to their stupider counterparts, who had done the opposite. Vince predicted much vomiting in his near future.
They walked up to the stall. The guy manning the booth explained the game: you had three chances to knock down five plastic pins, at varying heights. You had to knock off the tallest one to win a medium (read: large, but smaller than the other) bear, and all to win a massive teddy bear just a hair less than the mammoth ones Costco sold.
Ben went up first.
He threw...and knocked off one of the lowest pins.
He threw again. And hit the wall.
Last one.
Ben took a deep breath, aimed, and threw...at the tallest pin. It came tumbling down.
"Congrats!"The guy exclaimed. He offered Ben a medium bear, which he could also trade for a penguin.
"Which one do you want?"Ben asked.
"Penguin,"Zucchini immediately answered.
Penguin he got.
Vince went up next.
He readied himself, and tossed. The ball hit the top pin... then the middle... then the bottom.
"Ohhhh!"Ben and Zucchini shrieked.
"Wow,"Booth guy said.
He handed Vince a large bear, who passed it to Zucchini.
"I go again, right?"Vince asked.
"Uh, yeah, yeah,"Booth guy said. He seemed to be in a bit of shock.
Vince threw again.
"Vince! Oh my gosh!"Ben screamed, as all the pins came tumbling down.
Zucchini gained another large bear.
"What did you eat?"Booth guy demanded.
"Lots of funnel cake,"Vince admitted.
Then came Vince's final attempt.
He threw.
The first pin hit the ground, crashing into the middle ones as it did so.
The middle ones hit the bottom ones. They all fell-except for one.
"Ohhhh,"Ben moaned, as it wobbled.
"Please,"Vince whispered.
For Zucchini,he thought.
It fell.
"YEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!"Ben screamed.
"Oh. My. Gosh,"Booth guy said. "Take it all."
They did.
They struggled to manage all four stuffed animals and all the snacks they had. At six-thirty, they met up at the front with the other guys...who, as Vince had predicted, were struggling to keep their funnel cakes in.
Vince sighed.
Vomit was in his near future.
