Gloyd stood in front of the door nervously. He tried to think of how to approach this. Maybe he should send a letter or email instead. That way he wouldn't have to face him… no, he couldn't do that. He'd never respect him if he did it that way. He had to do this face to face. Man to man. He grew a look of determination before knocking on the door.

After a few seconds the doors opened and he was greeted with the friendly face of Felix. The man's smile only grew wider when he saw him. "Why hello there Gloyd! Nice to see you! If you're looking for Vanellope I'm afraid she went out earlier with some friends. A girls night out or something of the like." The man explained.

"Um, hey Felix. And thanks, but I'm not here to talk to Vanellope. I'm here to talk to Ralph actually. Is he home?" Gloyd asked. Felix grew a look of confusion. Gloyd, talking to Ralph? Usually the young man avoided Ralph like the plague. "I have something really important to ask him."

Felix still seemed confused for a few moments, but then seemed to realize what the boy was referring to. "Oh… OOOOH! Oh my land, you're really going to…" Felix stepped aside and allowed Gloyd inside. "He's in the living room. And may I say, good luck Mr. Orangeboar." He said giving him a pat on the shoulder.

"I appreciate it." Gloyd said before walking down the hall and towards the living room. When he entered he saw Ralph sitting on the couch, chuckling at some TV show. "Ralph."

The hulking figure turned around and then saw the brown haired boy standing in the door. "Oh, hey there Gloyd. Didn't hear you come in." He said with a yawn. He was tired. Maybe that would work in Gloyd's favor. "If you're looking for your girlfriend, she isn't home."

It gave Gloyd a little hope when he actually heard him refer to Vanellope as his girlfriend. When they first started dating he seemed to be in denial about the whole relationship. He used to refer to Gloyd as 'Punk'. But over time, while they weren't necessarily close, they had come to a mutual understanding. They found common ground in the fact that both loved Vanellope.

"I'm not looking for her Ralph. I'm looking for you." He said failing to keep the nervousness from his voice. Ralph raised an eyebrow at him. Why would Gloyd be looking for him? And why did he sound so nervous? He hadn't been this scared around Ralph since he and Vanellope first started going out. "I need to ask you something?"

Ralph chuckled. "What? You need some advice for a gift or something? Well I do happen to know about a certain hoodie she's been eyeing, that should win you a few-"

"No, no it's nothing like that." Gloyd said. He looked down at his feet and then took a deep breath. The best thing he could do is just ask it and get it over with. Just to rip it off like a bandage. "I wanted to ask you for… you see I want to… okay, the thing is…"

Ralph was struggling to figure out what this boy was saying. "You're not making any sense right now kid. Try speaking in complete sentences."

Glody nodded. "Okay, okay. You know me and Vanellope have been dating for a long time now." He said. Ralph nodded, still oblivious to the upcoming question. "And I really love her. I love her more than anything in the world, you know that don't you Ralph?"

Ralph narrowed his eyes. "Where are you going with this kid?"

He felt a chill up his spine. The hope of him taking this news lightly, or even well for that manner, was slowly starting to decrease. "I… I want to marry Vanellope. And since you're the closest thing she has to a father figure I wanted to ask for your-"

"No." Ralph said, his face now hardened.

"But-"

"No."

"Ralph, c'mon-"

"No!" Ralph bellowed.

Gloyd winced at the volume of his voice. Ralph was now standing over him looking furious. Like he was going to smash Gloyd into the ground any second now. Gloyd shrunk under his gaze, but only for a moment. He shook his head and then glared back at Ralph. "T-that's not fair!" He said stepping forward. "You're not even going to consider it? Just NO?"

Ralph stepped forward as well, and was now towering over the boy. Gloyd was afraid, but didn't back down. "She's not ready for marriage! You're not ready for marriage! You didn't even stick out your first year of college, you don't have a job, how are you going to support yourself and her?! Huh?!" Ralph asked. "Did you even think this through?!"

"Yeah, I did drop out. But I am working now! I'm making more down at the auto shop than I would have been sitting in a class! Even if I don't make it as a comedian, which is looking pretty promising according to Chuckle Hut Magazine, I'd make more than enough to support us!"

Ralph grunted. "I'm not just talking about school and work, I'm talking about commitment! If you can't even finish your freshman year of college, why should I expect you to stick it out in a marriage?" He challenged.

"I've known Vanellope since we were four! And I've been dating her for five years now! How haven't I been committed to her?" He asked.

Ralph gritted his teeth. "You came here to ask me for my blessing, and my answer is no." He said coldly. Gloyd looked like he had been stabbed in the heart. Ralph turned around and was about to leave, but then saw Calhoun standing in the door. He jumped back startled. "Whoa! When did you-?!"

Calhoun cut him off. "You got a lot of nerve Wreck-It, you know that?! This boy nutted up and came over here to ask for your blessing, heck, he even stood up to you when you were towering over him like a 400 pound gorilla, and you're just going to blow him off!"

Ralph looked taken aback. "What?! You're mad at me? Calhoun, you can't be serious! I'm stopping them from rushing into something they're not ready for! How could you possibly be blaming me for making sure-"

"This isn't about them not being ready, and you know it! You're just being selfish! This kid has proven how much he loves Vanellope time and time again! He's proven it to me, to you, and to everyone in this town! The only reason he started working at the auto-shop is because he wanted to prove to you that he could support her!" Calhoun snapped.

Ralph opened his mouth to say something, but another voice cut in. "She's right Ralph! This young man has done nothing but treat Vani like a queen!" Felix said. He'd been listening from outside of the door, but couldn't stand staying quiet any longer. "He's put his dreams of being a comedian on the back burner just to prove a point to you? Doesn't that mean anything?"

Ralph looked back and forth at the two. "I-It's not… I just…" He turned towards Gloyd who was giving him a hopeful looked. He was having very mixed feelings about the kid right now. On one hand he had the guts to come here and ask him face to face. He knew how much Gloyd feared him. Even if Ralph would never harm the boy, mostly because Vanellope would throw a fit if he did, he knew how intimidating he could be.

But on the other hand… "I… I didn't think it would be this soon." He said sadly. "I thought I would have a few more years before you two would even think about… getting married." That seemed to surprise the others, though Ralph didn't know why. He wasn't an idiot. Of course he knew Gloyd would pop the question eventually. And of course she would say yes. But why so soon?

"It seems like just yesterday she was over here for the first time. Tripping over her feet and looking at me with that goofy little gap tooth grin of hers. And now… now you're going to take her away from me. It's not fair, I knew I'd have to let her go eventually, but I thought I had more time." Ralph said flopping back down on the couch.

Calhoun and Felix both looked sympathetic. They'd all raised Vanellope together, watched her grow up together. They knew what was he was going through.

Gloyd walked in front of him. Ralph looked up at him sadly. "Ralph, I can't take her away from you. I couldn't even if I wanted to. She loves you, and she always will." He assured. "Me and her getting married won't change that. But she makes me happy, and I like to think I make her happy too. And I want to make sure to keep her happy for as long as I can."

Ralph sighed and rubbed the back of his neck. "You do make her happy kid, I know that much for sure." Vanellope always talked about him with a smile on her face. Whether she was talking about how funny he was, or complaining about his eating habits. "And who am I to keep her from being happy."

Gloyd smiled. "So does that mean…?"

"You have my blessing."

Gloyd fell to his knees and raised his fists in the air. "YES!" He cheered as loudly as he could. "I did it! I got a blessing from Wreck-It Ralph! I can't believe it!" The three adults chuckled at the sight before them. He was certainly a goofball, and even if he was an adult now, he was still a child at heart. But nobody could doubt that he cared for Vanellope. And that was enough for them.

"Bet you can't wait for the wedding night huh Orangeboar?" Calhoun said nudging him. "You finally get permission to make an 'honest' woman out of her." She said with a sly smile.

Gloyd grew a look of realization on his face, followed by a wide smile. Felix's face was red as a tomato, and Ralph… "Why you rotten little-! I'm gonna kill you!" Ralph said getting up and charging towards Gloyd.

The brown haired boy got up and made a mad dash for the door, and the wrecker rampaged after him. Calhoun was howling with laughter. "Honey, did you really have to set him off like that? You knew Ralph was going to try and kill him." Felix said with a sigh.

Calhoun wiped a tear from her eye. "I couldn't help it. It might very well be the last time I get to see Ralph chase him down like this." She said looking out the window.

She watched as Gloyd sped down the street, with Ralph hot on his tale. Ralph must have really been really mad this time since he usually tired out halfway down the street. But even with the large man right on his heels, Gloyd couldn't help but smile.

A/N: This is just another random thing that popped into my head. I always like the scene in movies and shows where the guys has to ask for the dad's blessing. It's either really funny, or really emotional. I tried to get a good mix of both here.

This was planned as just a one-shot, but I'm considering doing others with Rancis, Swizzle, and the rest of the Sweet Tooth racers. Tell me what you guys think in the comments.

Oh, and don't worry. I'm currently working on updating Return of a King. It'll be updated soon!
