So ladies and gentlemen, after many months I have finally began writing a new story to add in my series. This will be like the others in that it will be a slow boil but once it does, it will certainly overflow and it will come swiftly. It will also take a much darker turn and may shock some readers. So if everyone is ready to get on this new roller coaster with even more twists and turns, then there is no turning back! Read my friends, and enjoy. :D


"Tonight on CBS 2 news… a staggering report has shown an increase in violence around the world; people out of control from countries around the world to right here at home. Nuclear threats continue to plague the Middle East and gun violence on our own streets seems to be out of local authorities' control. Even shopping malls are dealing with brawls of out of control shoppers and we can't help but stop and ask; when will this get better? Is there anyone, anything out there that can stop the violence?"

"On NBC News today, the unimaginable has been discovered; rumors have been leaked of an alternate universe discovered by the FBI, the president is looking into the possibility of our greatest imaginations actually coming to life. More to follow."

"On day two of the investigations surrounding a supposed visitor from the world of animation, it is confirmed that our visitor is none other than the Disney villain known as Turbo from the 2012 hit film Wreck-it-Ralph… are we in danger? More to come shortly, only on ABC news."

"People, this is ridiculous! This is all some scheme to make Obama's presidency more interesting and ANYONE who believes this crap is on drugs!"

"Many public officials have come to believe that a terrorist plot to put drugs in the water systems of those who claim to have proof of the alternate universe, as well as members of the white house and the president himself is being investigated."

"It has been one week into the investigations concerning the supposed alternate universe and skeptics are in for a rude awakening today. Top officials from the CIA and other sources called in by the president have, through a supposed series of pictures of the subject carrying a device used to travel back and forth from here to its world, attempted to recreate a device of their own used to see if there is indeed… a world made of all the little characters on the other side of the television screen."

"We have made contact, I repeat, we have made contact with the other side! It's… it's incredible, all of these guys I grew up with as kids! It's amazing!"

"Attempts to steal the device to recreate and sell on the black market have caused a heightened security by the FBI and the CIA, as people scramble to try to see this world that we only believed existed in our minds and on the television screens…"

"We have taken several weeks to study the… the safety and stability of this contact, and what we could be opening up ourselves to here. We have taken… measurements of radioactive levels and this seems to be no threat. We have… made contact with some of these characters… and they are willing to try to help us… with peace efforts. I, as your president, want to ensure the safety of all my citizens, and do what I can to help promote domestic and global peace among all countries."


I sigh as we all sit in a waiting room. Currently, Turbo, Ralph, Rosie, Felix, Calhoun, Vanellope and I were all waiting outside the "big mouse's" office; that's right, Mickey Mouse… because of the recent happenings and how serious they could be to all of cartoonverse. Yes, as I had learned in the past few weeks after all the battling that had ensued, there was a much larger world outside of the arcade, even outside of the world of Disney that it resided in. But for now, as Mickey called us inside, we had this problem to worry about.

Mickey paced about before sitting at his desk before looking at us intensely. It was pretty hard not to want to hug or fangirl the mouse to death; I mean, it's Mickey after all. I looked around and noticed he had a number of portraits of himself in a progression through the years as well as a few of his friends like Minnie, Goofy, Donald and Pluto, and I couldn't help but smile at a group photo of him with the characters from Kingdom Hearts. Now THAT was awesome. But my moment was broken by Mickey clearing his throat, sighing a bit.

"Now. I let you folks live in your worlds and run them however you need to run them. That is what was decided when it was becoming too hard for me to be able to govern over ALL the Disney film characters. But now we've been threatened. I should have known that a movie about video games would cause problems and here we stand." He approached Turbo. "Do you remember what we had to do the last time someone tried to interact and bring a human back to our world?"

Calhoun cleared her throat. "Mister mouse, we've been around for barely a year. We hardly know anything about what's outside the arcade, and we're just recuperating from some problems we had."

Mickey sighed. "Yes, I should have known it was a bad idea to try to let Goofy educate all of you on basic Disney protocol… but anyhow. Humans have now discovered our true world and have made contact. It was somewhere in Hasbro Hub and if they find any other provinces it could be disastrous! Our worlds cannot mix, it must be separated by a television screen! Any further contact could spell trouble for us! And having THIS human here now is a direct threat to our world! What if they think we kidnapped her? What if they are hostile? Humans have the potential to wipe out EVERYTHING here!"

I bit my lip. "I… I didn't mean to cause trouble. Before a few months ago I never thought you all even really existed and now… I've made such wonderful friends."

"And it should have remained unknown to you. I could put Turbo in prison for this. But being this is partly my fault for not making sure I properly educated all of you on this, I will spare him this one time. But just know that security will be increased and any, I repeat, ANY, sightings of humans must be reported. In addition, THIS human, is to be sent home immediately and not return!"

My heart sank, and Turbo looked from Mickey and me. "But… but I… we… we care about each other." Turbo said quietly.

"I'm sorry Turbo, but this is how it has to be. We will be returning her to the human world after you say your goodbyes. You won't be able to see each other again."

Rosie covered her mouth lightly in shock, deeply upset. "She's my best friend!"

Mickey sighed. "This is my final decision. It's for everyone's good. You can either abide to it, or break the law. I'm sorry folks. It's the only thing I can do. I have to protect Disney citizens."

We were all somber on our way back to the arcade. "Golly… it's sure going to be different without Kara around." Felix said.

"We have to follow Mickey's rules. It's unfortunate, but we've got no other choice." Calhoun replied.

"I'm gonna miss you coming to my races and coming to the castle for snacks…" Vanellope said, looking up at me. "You saved our butt a few times… this seems like a stinky way to repay you."

I smiled sadly. "Don't worry, you guys… everything will be okay. Just remember the fun times we had together and… I'll just try to get back to life in my world…"

Turbo scuffed his foot on the ground. "That stupid mouse… how dare he try to separate us! I outta beat the code out of him!"

We all arrived at Game Central Station, each of us parting ways. I would have to leave tomorrow morning, and I gave tearful hugs to everyone but Turbo, Ralph and Felix, as I would go back to Fix-it-Felix Jr. with them. Once there, I gave Felix a warm hug before he went to the penthouse, heading back to our house with Turbo and Ralph.

"I'm really gonna miss you, Kara…" Ralph said sadly. "There's no way we can see each other again, even once?"

"It doesn't sound like it… Mickey wants humans to stay out of the cartoon world and… I'm unfortunately, human." I gently pat his arm. He had to bend down quite a bit to hug me, and he finally let up, patting my head gently before saying goodnight and going to his part of the house.

Turbo and I went to our room, and he hadn't really said much. I could tell he was trying to stay cool, but in his eyes I saw a mixture of emotions churning inside. I went over, hugging him close and he hugged me back. "Maybe… if I try hard enough… I can go to the barrier city and try to find you. Being I'm a good hacker and all… you and I could be able to see each other sometimes… even if there is a TV screen separating us."

I chuckled lightly. "Turbo, the last thing I want is for you to get in trouble. You already have gotten into enough trouble because of me."

"But it's not fair! We went through all this stuff and I actually learned to CARE about someone for what? What was all this for if you're just gonna go away anyway?"

"Because what you learned can stay with you even after I'm gone. Look at all the friends you've made. Look at the life you've built for yourself, the relationships you've mended. That all stays with you even when I can't." I said. "We should get some rest. I want to hug you one more time tomorrow before I have to go back."

Turbo nodded. "Okay…" I got up to go to my twin bed when I felt a gentle tug on my hand. "No… I… I want you near me." He said. I smiled a bit and nodded, and he hugged me close as I rested my head beside his. We tried to talk and stay awake for as long as we could, but sleep eventually took us both as night fell.


A rather short chapter to start, but I assure you that there is more soon to come! Hope you liked, and as a short reminder, Rosie and all characters associated with Slam Dunk! and company are copyright of Dixie Darlin. :)
