A/N: Hi, so... somehow I stumbled upon this pairing and then I realized that there were practically no stories for these two. I am gonna be the one to change that. So... here we go!

Disclaimer: I do not own any characters that are mentioned, even though I think it would be awesome to have Vanellope and Hiro (and Gogo, maybe Fred) as friends.

Chapter 1: Gummy Bears to Repair.

Summary:

Hiro misses Vanellope's race.

"Do you see him?!" Vanellope jumped up and down, trying to see over her brother's shoulder.

"Nope, sorry Kid." Ralph ruffled the 15 year-old's hair before going over to help Felix with the tires.

Vanellope sighed and fixed her mint-green jumper. She was racing today and she was hoping he would come. She even made sure that his aunt would remind him after giving them the tickets.

"Vanellope, it's almost time." Felix called out. He handed her her gloves and patted her on the back. "You'll do fine —"

"Yeah! Make them eat your dust!" Tamora Calhoun smirked in Vanellope's direction.

Vanellope perked up and a determined glint reached her eyes. "Oh, they will!" She high-fived her sister-in-law and pulled on her goggles and helmet.

"It's time, let's go ya little freak of nature!"

Vanellope climbed in her kart and started it.

"Hey Kid —" Ralph leaned down to her level, a proud smirk on his lips. "Make Taffyta cry, yeah?"

Vanellope shook Ralph's larger hand with her smaller one, "You got it, Hobo."

She took her spot on the track and scanned the crowd for any sign of his messy hair—to let her know that he was here. She caught the eyes of his Aunt Cass, but she just shrugged and sent Vanellope an apologetic look.

"Hey there, Glitch! Come to lose the race, haven't you?" A taunting voice came from beside her.

"Actually, Taffyta— I am here to win." Vanellope sent the white-blonde a challenging smirk.

"Did you hear that, Rancis, Candlehead? The Glitch thinks she's gonna win!" Taffyta had an amused look on her face, she clearly thought the idea of Vanellope Von Schweetz winning a race was impossible. Rancis and Candlehead laughed along to the cruel joke.

Vanellope just rolled her eyes and tightened her gloves.

The speakers let out a loud ringing sound as 'Sour' Bill tapped on the microphone to test it. "Welcome to the Sugar Rush Racing Track." He started in a bored voice.

"Our racers today are Taffyta Muttonfudge, Rancis Fluggerbutter, Candace 'Candlehead' Morris, and Vanellope Von Schweetz."

Vanellope could hear the cheers and boos from the crowd, but she didn't really pay attention to it. All she was focusing now was the red light that just turned to yellow.

"Racers, start your karts. Ready, set..."

Yellow went to green.

"Go."

Hiro couldn't believe his day. First, he woke up late—which caused him to be late to class. That made his professor keep him after class so that he could catch up.

Then, he had to help Gogo with a new project of hers—this time it was on how she could make an old Cadillac go as fast as her bike, without breaking the speed limit.

And now, well... now he sitting in a jail cell at the San Fransokyo Police Department for jay-walking—even though there were no cars at all.

"Don't I get a phone call or something?!" Hiro said desperately.

"Quiet, Hamada!"

Hiro sighed and sat back down on the bottom wooden bench that made up a make-shift bunk-bed. He slid his hand into his pocket and felt for the small, green ticket. He had to be there, he just had to. He already missed the last two races, he couldn't miss this one.

The 17 year-old leaned his head back against the brick wall, his eyes closed.

"Hamada!"

"Ouch!" Hiro rubbed his now sore head from hitting the top bunk.

"You get a phone call." The police officer opened Hiro's cell and lead the way to the old payphone.

Hiro glared at the policeman before fishing his pockets for a quarter. He shoved the coin in the little slot and quickly dialed a number.

"Hello?"

"Aunt Cass!"

"Hiro? Where are you, the race is over."

Hiro sighed, "Aw, man! Did she win?"

"Yes, she did. Now, answer my question. Where are you?"

"I got arrested."

"Hiro Hamda, what did you do?!"

"I was picked up for jay-walking, but it was only because I wanted to make it to the race! Can you come bail me out?"

"Okay, I'm coming."

Hiro gave a relieved sigh, "Thank you Aunt Cass!" He hung up the phone and let the policeman take him back to his cell.

Vanellope held her trophy up high over her head, her lips breaking into a large smile.

The crowd gathered around her and cheered.

Vanellope laughed as she saw Taffyta stomp her foot and throw her 3rd place medal on the ground. She let out a little shriek as Ralph picked her up and settled her on his broad shoulders.

"You won! You won, freak! You won!"

"I know!" Vanellope hung onto her brother's neck as he was setting her down. She let go and blew her bangs out of her vision.

"Good job, Vanellope!" Felix gave his little sister a side-hug. "You were great out there today!"

"Thanks."

"Alright, Kid. Time to go home." Ralph led Vanellope over to the garage, but she stopped short.

"You go on, I want to get changed first. Here," She handed over her trophy and grabbed her bag before heading over to the public restroom. Vanellope quickly went into one of the stalls and changed into her clothes.

Vanellope came out dressed in her old mint-green hoodie, blue jeans, and converse. She quickly tied her hair into her usual ponytail before leaving.

"Oh, look. The Glitch changed into her ratty clothes again. I mean, at least the jumper made her look pleasant enough to look at."

Vanellope sighed and turned to see Taffyta flanked by a smirking Rancis and a giggling Candlehead.

"What do you want, Taffyta?"

"I want what's rightfully mine. Duh!" The white-blonde girl simply looked over her nails, a tiny smirk on her painted lips.

"Uhm, I'm sorry Taffyta, but I believe you're mistaken. 'Cause you see... If I remember correctly, I won and you lost."

"No, I don't believe I am mistaken, Vanellope. You see, if you hadn't cheated... I would've won."

Vanellope snorted. "Yeah, sure. Keep telling yourself that." She went to move past them but Taffyta stepped in front of her, blocking her way.

"What are you trying say, Glitch?" She snarled, her baby blue eyes narrowing into slits.

"I'm saying that you shouldn't blame other people on your lack of racing skills." She wasn't trying to be mean, Vanellope has always been brutally honest. Taffyta really was not that good of a racer.

Taffyta let out a soft growl, her eyes flaring in anger. "Why you little bitch!"

Before Vanellope could say another word, she was pushed to the ground.

That was it.

"Thanks for coming to get me Aunt Cass." Hiro followed his aunt to her car, making sure not too look her directly in the eyes as he slid into the front seat.

"Uh-huh, you do realize you're grounded, right?"

He sighed, "Yeah, I know." He leaned his forehead against the cool glass of the window and closed his eyes.

"You're gonna have to make it up to her, Hiro."

"I know."

"You promised her you would be there."

"I know."

"You broke that promise, and now you have to fix it—"

"I know."

"Watch your tone, Hiro Hamada!"

"Sorry." Hiro mumbled.

"You should've seen her out there, Hiro. She was amazing. Finished the 5 laps while the others were on their 2nd or 3rd lap."

A small smile twitched at his mouth as he imagined that. He looked at all of the passing stores, until one caught his eye.

"Aunt Cass, turn around!"

His aunt looked over at him with a look of confusion. "What?"

"Turn around! Please! I need to do something."

Vanellope sat on one of the old beach chairs, looking over San Fransokyo. Sometimes she would come out on the roof of her and Ralph's apartment building to think. Though most of time, she never had anything to think about.

She raised the bottle of soda to her lips and took a tentative sip. She winced as her lip stung, the fresh cut not fully healed yet.

Vanellope had gotten into a fight with Taffyta. Rancis had tried to step in, but Vanellope punched him in the nose—which was an accident. Candlehead just let out a shriek at the sight of blood.

Taffyta fought like one of those girls that you would see on tv—you know with the slapping and hair pulling. Vanellope used her fists, so Taffyta had gotten the most damage.

Though, Taffyta did get a few good hits in. But that was only because she was wearing a ring on her finger. She managed to bust Vanellope's lip and scratch her under the eye.

Vanellope made Taffyta's nose bleed. She smirked in the memory of Taffyta's whiny voice at how she was getting blood on her new jumper.

Hey, it was all Taffyta's fault anyway.

"Hi."

Vanellope nearly fell out of her seat when she heard his voice behind her. She got up and turned around to face him.

"What do you want, Hiro?"

"I just wanted to say that I'm sorry for not being there. I—"

"Save it." Vanellope pushed past him to get to the fire escape. She climbed down the ladder and shuffled through her window.

She should have closed and locked the window.

Hiro came in after her, "Vanellope." He sighed and ran a hand through his hair.

Vanellope ignored him and collapsed on her bed with a groan.

"Please let me explain Vanellope."

She rolled her eyes at how desperate he sounded, but she waved her hand for him to continue.

Hiro let out a grateful sigh, "I really tried to be there today, I really did. But I woke up late, and then my professor held me after class. Gogo needed my help with her project and when I was finally able to leave, I tried to hurry to get to the track. I ended up jay-walking and then I was arrested for it and Aunt Cass just bailed me out."

Vanellope scoffed, "Why am I not surprised. Oh, I know why! Because you always get arrested, Hiro!"

"I'm trying to work on that."

"Uh-huh."

"Congrats, by the way. Aunt Cass told me you won."

"Yep, and then I was suspended."

"What?"

"Taffyta started a fight with me and I was blamed for it."

"Are you hurt, do I need to get Baymax?"

"I'm fine. Taffyta's the one with the bloody nose and chipped tooth." Vanellope smirked over in Hiro's direction and he smiled at her back.

"I uh, got ya something." He sat down on the side of the bed and leaned down 'till he was a few inches away from her face.

"What?"

Hiro pulled a bag out of his coat pocket and held it up so Vanellope could see.

"Gummy bears?"

"Yep" Hiro said, popping the 'p'. He tore it open and pulled out an orange one. "Open your mouth."

"Hiro—"

"Open your mouth."

Vanellope sighed and did as she was told (for once).

Hiro dropped the small gummy into her mouth and smirked when she chewed it quickly.

"Am I forgiven?"

"Maybe. I just need one more thing from you."

Hiro's eyebrows furrowed, "huh—" He felt her small hand on the back of his neck and then, before he knew it, he was tugged down and he felt his lips on hers.

Vanellope tugged him closer until he was practically on top of her. She could feel his blush creeping up is neck as he kissed her back.

After a few minutes, Hiro pulled away. His cheeks were red in color, and it only darkened when Vanellope laughed at him.

He threw a gummy bear at her.

A/N: Okay so, that was probably crappy. Oh, well. Hoped you enjoyed it anyway. Read, review, follow. Just don't stalk me.

P.S: If you hadn't guessed by the cover, I pictured Isabelle Fuhrman and Booboo Stewart playing Vanellope and Hiro.
