Arabella's POV

"Hey, guys! I got the lightbulbs!"

"SURPRISE!"

Henry yelled in terror and throws the lightbulbs, making them all shatter on the floor.

"What was that for?" Henry asked and my dad pulls him over to us. "It's not my birthday."

"We know." My dad says.

"Give me your head." Charlotte says and puts some hairspray in his hair.

"You, my weird friend, are gonna be on television." I grin and apply makeup to his cheeks.

"I'll get the shirt." Gooch falls and walks away.

"Shirt?" Henry asked and I turn his face back to us.

"What are you rubbing on my face?" Henry asked, flinching as I touched him.

"Makeup." My dad responds for me.

"Why?"

"You're going to be on Spin and Win." Charlotte announces and Henry beams.

"The game show?"

"Yep." My dad nods and Gooch returns.

"Hey, which shirt should Henry wear? Gooch one and Gooch two?"

My dad, Charlotte, and I gave him a weird look.

"Neither." My dad and I say.

"Oh, come on." Gooch complains. "Gooch is the new black."

"Just pick a different shirt." I instruct Gooch who wanders away.

"Alright, can someone tell me why we're doing this?"
Henry says, moving us away from him.

"We'll tell you." I told Henry.

"Alternating?" My dad asked and I nod.

"Sure. You start." Charlotte suggests.

My dad turns Henry to him and puts more makeup on his face. "You know those weird burglaries that's been happening all over town?"

Charlotte turns him to her. "And the police have no idea how the burglars are getting in and out of the people's houses?"

I turned Henry toward me and grinned, applying makeup. "Well, Charlotte figured out that in every one of the houses that have been burglarized, someone has recently been on Spin and Win and won."

Charlotte grabbed Henry. "But then, all the winner's prizes were stolen from their houses."

"You guys realize those broken glass all over the floor." Henry mentions and I glanced down at the shatter glass.

Gooch came over with a red flannel. "How about those one?"

"I like it." I grin.

"Pop that ugly shirt off." Charlotte advises Henry.

"Why do I have to change clothes?" Henry asked.

"Because you're going to be on tv, boy!" My dad answers and Henry grins.

"Don't you want to look good?" I asked Henry, imitating his usual catchphrase.

"I thought I looked good before I came in here." Henry chuckles.

"Ehhhh..." We all shrugged and Henry gave us a look.

I started to remove Henry's shirt, leaving him in his blue stripped shirt.

"Man, I can't believe I'm going to be on Spin and Win."

"Hey, what if Henry doesn't win?" Gooch asked as he hands Charlotte the shirt.

"He better win." I say and Henry puts on the flannel.

"Why?"

"So you'll get the prizes..."

"And then we wait at your house to see if you get burglarized." Charlotte continues for my dad.

"Wait, hang on." Henry stops us.

"What?" Charlotte asked.

"You two are smarter than me, why don't one of you go on the show and win?" Henry asked and I shake my head.

"My dad wouldn't allow that and besides they would figure out where the Man Cave is." I explain.

"That's true." Henry nods.

"And I don't want my house burgled." Charlotte chuckles.

Henry's phone rang and he picked it up as we started to fix his hair and face.

"What's up?" Henry asked the person and he flinched when my dad sprayed him. "Why?"

Henry pauses for a few moments. "Well, I'm not gonna be home until later tonight...Nah, I'm going to be on Spin and Win!...Yeah!"

Henry lowered his phone. "Can my dad go to the show with my sister?"

"I guess. Just tell them I get there early so they can get tickets." My dad suggested and Henry sighs quietly when he gets more hairspray in his face.

"Yeah! Just get there early!" Henry advises his dad before hanging up.

——

Later, Henry, Charlotte, my dad, and I arrived at the game show Spin and Win. It was a large production and it was awesome. I really hope Henry wins, because I see a hot yogurt machine and I need that in my life.

The host, Rick Richards, stood in front of the live audience crowd and was gonna introduce himself to the crowd before we go live.

"Hey everyone, I'm Rick Richards!" The crowd cheers and applauds him. "But you know that!" The crowd laughs at that. "Okay, thanks for coming. We're going to be starting the show in just a minute. Oh, and I wanna introduce you to two young people who work here with me on Spin and Win. My two kids, Derek and Maddy! Give them some love!" He points to two young teenagers who looked bored out of their minds and waved at the crowd with zero enthusiasm.

My dad looks at Henry. "Now, remember, you have to win this game."

"I'm going try." Henry nodded.

"And keep your eye out for suspicious activity. "Charlotte advised.

"Right." Henry says.

"And if you do win and we catch this burglar." I begin and Henry nods. "Can I have the hot yogurt machine?"

"What? No!" Henry denies and I frown.

"Why?" I complain and my dad flicks my head. "Ow..."

"Henry, stay focused." My dad tells him, moving me to the side. "Can't let anything distract you from..."

My dad trailed off when his mouth feel open and his eyes grew. I looked over and saw three beautiful ladies in fancy dresses walk out.

"Uh...I better go, uh. Check out this girls." My dad says and wanders over to the ladies.

"Why?"

"It's my job!" My dad snaps at Charlotte and focuses on the ladies. I shake my head and put my hands on my hips when he introduces himself.

——

The show started and Henry and the other girl on the show were neck and neck. If Henry wins this round, he will be on to the final and then he'll win.

"Okay, we got a tie game going so whoever gets the next question right we'll move on to our final round where they will spin and hopefully win the five spectacular prizes you see rotating in that thing over there!" Rich announces and points to the thing that as holding all the prizes. It slowly spun around as the crowd cheers for it.

"Ready guys?" Rich asked Henry and the other girl. "For 1,000 points, what do these three celebrities have in common? Jimmy Fallon, Jack Black, and Taylor Swift!"

Henry thought for moment before hitting his buzzer.

"Henry!"

"Uh, none of them have won Olympic medals." Henry guesses.

"Correct!" Rich beams and the crowd cheers. "And Henry Hart advances to our final round!"

My dad, Charlotte, and I cheer for Henry.

"Yay!" I giggle but stopped when popcorn got on my head. "Hey..."

"All right, in a moment we'll be back to see if Henry can spin an win these fabulous prizes." Rich announces. "Show them, girls."

The girls present the wheel of prizes and the crowd cheers.

"An electric guitar! An underwater sharkpoon! A karaoke machine! A skateboard with a motor on it! And a hot yogurt machine!"

"I want that!" I exclaim and grab my dads arm. "I need that!"

"Bella, you're squeezing my arm." My dad flinches and I release. "I'm okay."

"Sorry." I reply sheepishly.

"So, don't go anywhere. We'll be right back." Rich announces and the show goes to commercial.

——

The show resumed and Henry was the only one left.

"All right, now let's see if Henry can identify 10 breeds of..." Rich stopped when he looked at Henry and I saw Henry looked like he was in a trance and he was drooling. "Henry? Henry?!"

"What's wrong with Henry?" I asked my dad and Charlotte?

"Is he drooling?" My dad asked.

Suddenly, Henry blinked and he was out of his trance.

"Oh, Henry." Rick called and one of the workers walked out, grabbing Henry. He wiped the drool of Henry and pulled him over to Rick. "You okay?"

"Yeah. Sorry, Rick." Henry chuckles with embarrassment.

"No worries. Now, to win those five prizes there on the prize wheel, you'll have to identify 10 breeds of dogs in under thirty seconds." Rick explains.

"Come on, kid." My dad says.

"You got this, Henry." Charlotte encourages.

"Hot yogurt, baby!" I grin, rubbing my hands together.

"Let's do it!" Henry declares.

"Thirty seconds on the clock." Rick announces and gestures to the screen that showed a dog and timer on it. "Your time begins...now!"

"German Shepard!"

That's one.

"Cocker spaniel!"

Two.

"Norwegian blue hound!"

That was wrong.

"Great Dane!"

Three.

"Uh...micro mini golden doodle!"

Four.

"Maltese!"

That was wrong.

"No, that was a Bichon!" Charlotte corrects.

"Schnauzer!"

Five. Halfway.

"Mexican Bulldog!"

Another wrong one. Come on.

"Russel Hicks Terrier!"

Six. Getting there.

"Come on, just four more!" I giggle out of excitement

"You're both hurting my arm!" My dad grits through his teeth.

"Sorry!" We both apologize, letting him go.

"I'm okay." My dad says and continues to eat his popcorn.

"Spotless Dalmatian!

Eight

"Wangdoodle-doo!"

What even was that answer?

"Uh..Rottweiler!"

Nine! One more.

"Four seconds! One more to win!" Rich beams.

"Just one dog away!" Charlotte giggles.

"Uh... Shih Tzu?"

It dinged and the screen shows explosions with fireworks and the word 'Winner.'

"And Henry Hart wins the five fantastic prizes on that thing there!" Rick announces and the three of us cheer before my dad sprints onto the stage to celebrate or to see the ladies.

Char and I share a look, before we saw my dad get dragged off the stage.

——

"What? You didn't see me win the game show?" I heard Henry ask his dad as I brought in the karaoke machine to his house.

We received the prizes from the show and now we were bringing them to Henry's house.

Charlotte appeared with the hot yogurt machine. "Where do you want the hot yogurt machine?"

I smiled. "With me!"

"No!" Henry denies, lowering his phone and looks at Charlotte. "Over there and keep Bella away from it."

"Henry..."

"Henry." He mocks and I roll my eyes at him.

Henry listens to his father speak. "Why can't they?...Got it... Cool, poop you later."

Henry ends the call and sighs. "Looks like my dad's going to be at the hospital all night."

I stood up from the couch. "Your dad got hurt?"

"What happened?" Charlotte asked.

"No, Piper broke Jasper's nose with her selfie stick." Henry explains and I was shocked.

"Whoa."

"Piper got a selfie stick?" Charlotte asked with a smile.

"That's insane!" I gasp.

"Yeah, I guess." Henry shrugs.

"So, where's your mom?" My dad randomly asked as he causal plays the electric guitar.

"At the rodeo until Sunday." Henry explained and my dad decided to play a country themed riff on the guitar. We just stared at him as he smiled.

"You said rodeo so I played a riff with a country flair." My dad grins and strums the strings.

"What's the plan tonight?" Henry asked Charlotte and I, ignoring my dad as we moved away.

"I say we just hang out here all night-"

Charlotte got cut off by my dad playing the guitar again and he looks at us with a happy grin.

"...And wait for the burglar to try to break in-"

Once again my father interrupted us with his guitar playing and he gave us an over exaggerated expression as he played.

"And if the burglar does break in, we jump him and-"

"Stop that!" I yell at my dad, who once again was playing the guitar and he frowns at me, playing a sorrowful riff

——

Later, we were looking out the windows for any suspicious activity on where the burglar might be. It was clear at the moment, but something could come up.

"Hey! Hey! A van just pulled up in front of the house!"

And there it is. The three of us ran over to Charlotte at the front door.

"A van?" I asked.

"Criminals love vans." My dad mentions. "That's got to be the burglars."

We all peak out the window near the door and I heard a phone buzzing.

"Whose phone's vibrating?" I asked.

"Mine." Henry says and checks his phone. "Someone wants to video chat me."

"It's bad luck not to accept a video chat." Charlotte advised.

"Mmhm." My dad nodded.

"Check the phone." I tell him and Henry moves away to check his phone.

My dad opened the door and he had his phone out to record the burglar. A minute later, we see Henry just casually bringing the karaoke machine outside.

Huh?

"Hey, where you taking that?" My dad asked him.

"Hen?" I asked with confusion. "What?"

"Henry?" Charlotte called and furrowed her eyebrows. "He just walked right passed us."

"And I think he was drooling again." My dad adds as we stare at the blonde sidekick with utter confusion.

Henry continues to bring all the prizes outside and into the van. We went back inside and tried to stop Henry, but he was in some sort of trance.

"Henry." My dad says and stops him. "Hey! Why are you putting your prizes in that van outside?"

"Say something!" Charlotte says.

"Henry!" I yelled and he didn't mutter a word.

Suddenly, Henry grabbed my dad's underwear and gave him a wedgie in the front. My dad cries in pain and Henry let's him go, before bringing the last prize out the door.

My dad stuffed his underwear back in his pants and groaned.

"Why is Henry acting's so weird?" My dad asked.

"I don't know." I shrugged. "But it started when someone video chatted him."

"Maybe-"

"Hypnosis." My dad realizes, cutting Charlotte off.

"Hypnosis?" Charlotte and I questioned.

My dad explains his theory to us and it made a lot of sense. There is no burglar because the winner isnburglarizing themself. The only question is, who is making Henry do this?

"So that's why the cops could never catch the burglar?" Charlotte says with realization.

"Because there is no burglar." I add on.

"Someone figured out a way to make people burgle themselves." My dad continues for me.

"Sup, guys." Henry returns and we look at him as he sees all the missing prizes. "Hey! Where'd all my prizes go?!"

"You picked them up, took them outside, and put them in a van!" Charlotte explained to Henry, who didn't understand.

"Huh?"

"We'll explain later, but right now we're going to track that van and find your prizes." My dad declared.

"And the criminals who made you burglarize yourself." I added on.

"Right." My dad says and turns to Henry. "But first..."

My dad grabs Henry's underwear and gives him a huge wedgie, making him cry in pain.

"Ow!"

My dad walks out of the house, leaving Henry in pain and confusion. Charlotte and I stood there in shock as Henry painfully walked out.

"Well, he deserved it." I mentioned.

——

My dad and Henry successful took out the criminal. Turns out, it was Derek and Maddy, Rich Richards children who were hypnotizing the winners of the show so they could sell the prizes for money.

I never met them, but I could tell they hate their job working for their dad.

My dad and Henry returned to the Hart house and we had all the prizes. The door opens and in walks Piper, Henry's dad, and Jasper, whose nose was wrapped up.

They stared at us and we greeted them.

"Hey!"

"Wow!" Piper gasped at the prizes.

"What is all this?" Mr. Hart asked.

"The prizes I won on the game show." Henry mentioned.

"Woah. What's this thing?" Piper asked lifting up the sharkpoon.

"It's for fighting sharks." Henry informs.

"It's called a sharkpoon." Charlotte informs.

"Henry..."I mutter and gestured to everyone who doesn't know me or my dad.

"Oh, dad!" Henry calls and gets his dad's attention. "This is my boss and his daughter from Junk-N-Stuff."

"Oh!" Mr. Hart nods and he shakes our hands individually.

"Ray Manchester.

"Arabella Manchester." I introduce.

"Oh yeah! Great to finally meet you two." He smiles at us and my dad smiled.

"The feeling's mutual." I smile politely.

"Yeah, you too." My dad nodded. "You have a beautiful wife-" I nudge his rib. "House! House."

"Thanks." Mr. Hart said.

"How does this sharkpoon work?" Piper asked.

"Be careful with that." Henry advised his sister.

"Be careful with that." She mocked and Henry rolls his eyes.

"So, how's your nose?" Charlotte asked Jasper.

"Broken, but it's going to heal." Jasper tells us with an upbeat attitude.

"And then it will look better or worse?" Charlotte wondered and Jasper was confused.

"The same."

"Sorry, dude." Charlotte shrugs and I step forward.

"Hey, I'm Arabella." I introduce to him. "I'm Henry's boss's daughter."

"Jasper." He smiles but winces and I cringe.

"Sorry about your nose." I apologize and he shrugs.

"It will heal."

"Okay, people!" Henry announces and we look at him. "Who's hungry for something good?!"

We all agreed and we up to the hot yogurt that we set up earlier.

"Finally!" I beam and Henry smiles at me.

"Okay, cool. Because we got..." Henry begins and Charlotte and I join in. "Hot yogurt!"

"Yeah!" Jasper smiles and him, Mr. Hart, and my dad came up to us. I picked one up and smelt the warm and tasty sensation.

So good.

"Wow, you won a ho-yo machine?" Mr. Hart asked.

"Yeah, dad." Henry says with his smile fading. We all picked up a bowl and took a bite and it was amazing.

"This is good." I smile and swallow my yogurt.

"Not gonna steal this from me, are you?" Henry asked me and I laugh.

"No promises, Hen." I nudge his rib with a grin and he just smiles.

"Well, I had a pretty bad day, but this makes up for all-"

I jumped when Jasper's broken nose was impelled by a sharkpoon dart. We stared at Jasper in shock and I was speechless, I glanced over and saw Piper setting down the sharkpoon.

Wow, that's unfortunate.

"Sorry, dude."
