Welcome to a prologue story to Wreck-It Ralph. Set three years before the events of the movie. As our title says Beauty of the Glitch implies Vanellope's gonna be the lead. Well duh.

Here we go! I don't own the characters from Wreck-It Ralph.


Sugar Rush

Rancis' POV

I switch on the turbo speed, but the front of my kart gets hit by King Candy, and thus, both he and Taffyta zoom right pass me and cross the finish line!

The announcer announce the announcement of who won the Random Roster Race. "King Candy, 1st Place! Taffyta Muttonfudge, 2nd Place! Rancis Fluggerbutter, 3rd Place!"

Go ahead and laugh at my last name, I honestly don't care, 12 years of being laughed at about it, you get used to it. But anyway, I park my kart and watch the racers wind the bend that leads to the finish line, and more racers zoom over the finish line.

"Minty Sakura, 4th Place! Candlehead, 5th Place! Crumbelina DiCaramello, 6th Place! Swizzle Malarkey, 7th Place! Minty Zaki, 8th Place! Gloyd Orangeboar, 9th Place!"

I walk over and high-five Minty Sakura, she's an old friend of mine, she taught me everything I know about racing. Her cousin is Minty Zaki, it's kinda funny there are, well technically, two versions of the same racers. We refer to them by their last names in order to avoid confusion. "Great job out there Rancis-san." Minty Sakura tells me.

Yeah, Minty Sakura's Japanese, I learned some while we were training. "Arigatō Minty-chan." I reply to Minty Sakura. With that the two Mintys begins to chit-chat, and I walk over to King Candy, who's currently talking to Taffyta. We usually finish the Ransom Roster Races about, four or so hours before the arcade opens, thus allowing us time to do whatever we want. "and Taffyta, I want you to make sure the Glitch stays away from the racetrack, got it?"

"Yes sir, King Candy sir!" she replies. Taffyta walks back over to her kart, bumping into me, and then she shoves me out of her way. King Candy helps me up. But when he helps me up, I feel something odd about the king, there's always been something, odd about the king, I've never been able to figure out what though. But something else has my attention, the king mentioned something about a "Glitch".

I know the word "glitch" is a noun, and it means one of three things. A problem affecting function; a bug; an unwanted noise. Because we're in a video game, I'm gonna assume they're referring to the second type of glitch. "King Candy, what's this "Glitch" you and Taffyta were talking about?" I proceed to ask. The king gives me a look at first, then laughs and replies "I don't mind you overheard part of my conversation first of all. Second of all, it's not "this Glitch" it's "the Glitch". It's a person you should never meet! She's rumored to live over by Diet Cola Mountain." he brings me up to his private both, and points over at a mountain that's shaped like an old school soda bottle.

I hop down, and walk into my kart, start it up and proceed to zip away, grabbing a coin for coming in third place in the race, and I begin to drive over to Diet Cola Mountain.


Vanellope's POV

I sigh, my pixlexia acts up. Yeah, I'm the Glitch of Sugar Rush. I look over at the racetrack from what viewpoint I have, then I walk over to a river it's light-blue Kool-aid, once again, I sigh. Once again, my pixlexia acts up.

I look down at my reflection, the pixlexia appears, distorting my body briefly. I typically walk over to this river to think. Why am I even here. I suffer torment from most of the racers, and it's been this way for 12 years! I grab a mint off of the ground and toss it across the river, it skips and then lands on the other side of the river. Then I pull off my chocolate shoes and my mint socks off, and dip part of my feet into the water and slightly splish-splash waves into the river, it's relaxing. Takes my mind off of being a Glitch.

Being a Glitch, means a few things. One, you get tormented just about everyday of your life. Two, Christmas is completely lonely. Three, you're an outcast. Four, you have no friends. And five, you can't leave your own game!

I grab another mint and toss it, but as high and as far as I can, out of frustration. I sigh again, and ponder. Will I ever have a real friend? After another sigh, I begin to sing to out loud.

"Cause it's 0 to 60 in 3.5, baby you've got the keys. Now shut up and drive, drive, drive. Shut up and drive, drive, drive."

Even I'm amazed by how much of a beautiful singer I am, but because I'm a Glitch, I can't share my beautiful talent.


Rancis' POV

I manage to get away from the racetrack, and get directions to the mountain from Sour Bill, and then I get hit in the head with a mint, I look around to see who might've thrown it, but there's nobody around. But then I can faintly hear someone sing.

"My engine's ready to explode, explode, explode! So start me up and watch me go, go, go!" Whoever's singing has a really beautiful singing voice. I stop my kart, and continue to listen, hoping to find whoever is signing.


King Candy's Castle

Normal POV

"Sour Bill, where has Rancis gone?" King Candy asks. Sour Bill watches as Rancis heads for Diet Cola Mountain from a window. "Um, I think he's gone searching for the Glitch."

King Candy's caught off guard by this, but rolls his eyes. "Not like he's gonna find the Glitch!" he says, reassuring himself, knowing that Vanellope's life is terrible, and Rancis is likely to torment Vanellope, just like everyone else in Sugar Rush.


Well, how's this for chapter one. I hope you all liked it.
