Authors note: this is my first fan fiction, so no flames. I do not own wreck it ralph or Jessie.

Rancis' POV

It was a beautiful day in the arcade. I just woke up to the sounds of engines revving up. It must be time for the random roster race.

"Oh no!" I yelped seeing what time it was, "I'm going to be late!"

You see I was supposed to meet Vanellope before the random roster race because she said she had something for me. She's going to be so disappointed if I didn't show up. I got up and started getting ready, and then the doorbell rang. I opened the door to see it was my friends, Gloyd and Swizzle.

"Hey dude," Swizzle, said, "Where were you."

"Yeah," Gloyd pitched in, "The random roster race is starting in twenty minutes! Vanellope is very worried."

"Sorry dudes," I replied, "I overslept."

What Gloyd said was running through my mind. She cares about me? I thought. It must have been obvious because Gloyd then said, "Dude, are you okay?"

"Yeah," I replied, nervously, "I just have to meet Vanellope before the random roster race. She said she had a surprise for me."

Gloyd and Swizzle shared a knowing look before staring at me.

"Okay," Swizzle said in a mischievous sounding voice, "But you better hurry, V has been looking all over for you.

"Okay," I said in a confused tone, "Thanks for the tip."

The two shared another mischievous look then ran to their carts and left. That was a weird visit, but I still have to get ready.

Vanellope's POV

Where was he? I have been waiting here like an idiot waiting for him to arrive! Yet he still isn't here.

"You okay, your highness?" someone asked me.

I looked around to see who was talking to me. I saw it was Taffeta. She's been my very good friend for as long as I've been the president of Sugar Rush. She's been there for me for the things that Ralph can't help me with, like boys.

"It's president," I replied back, "And Rancis was supposed to meet me here so I can give him this."

I showed her the metal I made him that said to buttercup: congratulations on your first win, love, Vanellope.

"I made it for him, but he didn't even show up!" I started to cry. Taffyta put a hand on my shoulder and gave me a knowing glance.

"Wait for a few more minutes," Taffyta finally replied, "If I know Rancis, he was just wiped out from yesterdays races and slept in a little later then expected."

"You really think so?" I asked.

"I know so," Taffyta replied softly then turned around to her cart, "Look, I've got to go. Just wait. He'll most likely come in just a few more minutes." After that, she took off. I waited for a few more minutes. When I felt like I was just going to give up waiting when I heard a car engine rolling up. It was Rancis!

"Sorry it took so long," he apologized, "I overslept."

"It's okay," I said, a blush creeping on my face, "I'm just glad you came." With that comment, a noticeable blush was creeping on his face as well.

"So, what did you want to give me?" Rancis asked.

"Oh," I said and gave him the metal. He looked at it and then at me.

"I love it," Rancis replied to my relief. That's when I realized how close we were to each other. A big blush crept on my cheek and a goofy smile was on my face. I looked down then back at Rancis. He started to have a goofy grin too, but his didn't look goofy. It looked… cute.

"We should head to the random roster race," Rancis said.

"Yeah," I replied back. After a moment of silence, we headed to our respected carts and drove off to the random roster race.
