A.N. This story is going to feature a lot of new OCs of mine, so to make things easier I decided to post a guide to them on deviantART (not sure if this site would allow me to post it here).

It was June, and not long after Luann and Reneult joined Hero's Duty and Sugar Rush respectively. Mr. Litwak was doing business as usual when he overheard two boys complaining by the Sugar Rush console.

"Man, I'm tired of this game mostly having girls." One boy frowned.

"I know, just because it looks like a girls' game doesn't mean it is." His friend agreed.

They continued to protest a bit as Mr. Litwak thought it over. He had to admit that the two boys had a really good point. He also thought of another detail: the only three boys in Sugar Rush already had girlfriends (Reneult didn't count because he wasn't interested in dating). Gloyd had Jubileena, Swizzle had Minty, and Rancis had Taffyta (finally, according to Gloyd and Swizzle). That meant that all those other female Racers - not counting Vanellope because she had Ralph - didn't have anyone. He felt sorry for them, especially Sticky because her description in the manual said that she's a romantic. He decided it was time to do something about this.

So after the arcade closed that day he wrote a letter to TobiKomi about the unbalanced ratio of girl Racers to boy Racers. He included the fact that at least two boys had already complained about it.

About two weeks later Mr. Litwak got a letter and a package. The letter was from TobiKomi, and said that he had a point. After much discussion the company had decided to upgrade Sugar Rush with new male Racers. To help the consoles get used to having new characters however these Racers weren't exactly Racers yet. Instead they were just new visitors to the kingdom who had to get used to racing first before they could join in the game. This would allow the consoles to get used to these new characters without any harm happening to consoles. The package obviously was the upgrade itself.

Mr. Litwak was excited and couldn't wait to upgrade Sugar Rush. He had a feeling that Vanellope and the current Racers would be happy to get new friends.

The following Sunday Mr. Litwak entered the arcade with a woman: his daughter.

"What's Mr. Litwak doing here with Atara?" Gene asked.

"A game must need upgrading." Felix shrugged.

"Hello everyone." Mr. Litwak smiled. "Atara's here to help me upgrade a game, she finally got some free time."

"Yeah, working in an animation company can make you busier than you'd think." Atara chuckled.

Mr. Litwak went over to Sugar Rush.

"President Vanellope?" He said.

"Right here." Vanellope appeared on the screen. "Just in time, Reneult and I were just about to leave to visit Ralph."

"Hello Mr. Litwak." Reneult smiled as he entered the screen.

"Hi Reneult." Mr. Litwak smiled. "Vanellope your game is the one we're upgrading so if you want to see what's going on then you'd best hurry over to your husband's game."

"Right, come on everyone." Vanellope left the screen.

She, Reneult, Candiel, Sour Bill, and the other Racers headed for Fix-It-Felix Jr so that they could watch. Tamora and Luann showed up as well.

"Say, I don't think Reneult and I ever met Atara before." Luann realized.

"You haven't, last time she was here it was just a short visit to pick up Mr. Litwak for her son's birthday party." Felix said.

"Yeah as I recall you two were playing hide'n'seek with me and the Racers at the time." Ralph nodded.

"Oh yeah, that was fun." Luann smiled. "Of course having a fun uncle, aunt, and cousin helps." She ruffled Reneult's hair.

"Luann get off!" Reneult pretended to be annoyed. "I like your name Atara, how did you get it?"

"Thank you." Atara smiled as she helped her father open the console without harming it. "Originally dad wanted to name me Atari, after the video game company, but mom was against it so dad compromised with the name Atara."

Luann and Reneult chuckled.

"So what's the upgrade for?" Tamora asked.

"A lot of boys have been complaining about Sugar Rush having more girl Racers than boy Racers." Mr. Litwak explained. "I wrote to TobiKomi and they agreed to add more boy Racers. However they aren't actual Racers yet, TobiKomi wants the consoles to get used to them first."

All the girl Racers, except for the ones who already had boyfriends, started giggling to each other. Luann and Reneult rolled their eyes.

"Hey, you're older than us physically Luann." Snowanna smirked.

"Yeah but I still have the mind of a kid. You guys already have teenager minds even though...man sometimes it's weird being a game character." Luann winced.

"Yeah no kidding." Reneult agreed.

The adults chuckled.

Before upgrading the game, Atara decided to go over each character using her laptop.

"Hm, interesting characters." Atara said almost to herself. "I'm glad the companies have been putting more detail into their games...uh-oh."

"What's wrong?" Mr. Litwak asked.

"One Racer too many." Atara explained. "Didn't take into account that TobiKomi doesn't know about Reneult did you dad?"

Mr. Litwak facepalmed.

"Shoot, I forgot about that." He admitted.

"No problem, I'll look through these new Racers and see if one can be reprogrammed. Good thing I got this laptop from...ah, here we go." Atara smiled. "This one is a cowboy and more into horses, so I can make him a non-Racer. Interesting, he also has a Native American best friend who isn't a Racer. I think she'd appreciate him not being a Racer as well, it might make her less lonely during races."

"Horses?" Vanellope smiled.

Candiel winced, but sighed.

"Well, I do have to move on eventually. Maybe I can learn to be near horses without getting painful memories of Maltina." He shrugged.

"Hm...maybe that's why they added a cowboy to the list." Mr. Litwak guessed.

"Could be." Atara agreed.

She and Mr. Litwak finished the upgrade and closed the console before turning it back on.

"There we go, that should do it." Atara dusted off her hands and picked up her laptop.

There was a knock at the door.

"Attract Mode everyone!" Yuni from DDR called.

The Sugar Rush characters hid as the other characters went into the motions they did when they weren't being played. Mr. Litwak went to the door, unlocked it, and opened it. There was a delivery man with a giant package.

"Can I help you?" He asked.

"Delivery from TobiKomi." The delivery man said. "It's a new console, I think it's that game they recently completed."

"Oh yes that scavenger hunt game I pre-ordered." Mr. Litwak smiled. "Good, I was hoping it would arrive soon. Here let me show you where I want it..."

Mr. Litwak led the delivery man to the back of Sugar Rush. Atara went over to Fix-It-Felix Jr.

"I've gotta go, dad can take things from here." She whispered. "Bye guys, I'll try to bring my kids over one day to meet you all."

"Bye Atara." Ralph and Felix whispered as everyone else waved.
