thedarkkn9ght: Phew! Alright! The second one-shot in Vanellope Stories is-
Vanellope: Seriously? You're going down this route? Did sweetprincess900045 even give you permission to-
thedarkkn9ght: Yes! I JUST PMed her and she gave me permission to do so as long as I credit her for the idea. Because SHE came up with it!
Vanellope: Well calm down.
thedarkkn9ght: Alright. Where's Rancis? This is my FIRST time doing this gimmick and he's not even here?
Rancis: Right here! Sorry. My kart just broke down.
Vanellope: You're gonna need to get that checked. It's the 6th time that's happened.
thedarkkn9ght: 6 times?
Vanellope: Yup. The other 5 was when he was taking me on a date.
thedarkkn9ght: Alright. Disclaimer: I don't own the characters of WiR. Enjoy!
Vanellope: Will this be a vanillabutter themed story?
thedarkkn9ght: I mean. Aren't more than HALF of my WiR fanfictions vanillabutter stories?
Rancis: Nope. Only one is.
thedarkkn9ght: Is that so? I'm gonna have to change that! Anyway, opening gimmick idea was created by sweetprincess900045. Sheesh! That fanfic name is a mouthful!
Vanellope and Rancis arrived at a drive-in theater screening The Lion King.
"What's your favorite song in The Lion King, Rancis?" Vanellope asked.
"Be Prepared for sure! I warn you, Vanellope," Rancis said, "when that song begins playing, I'll be singing along with it!"
"Ooh hoo! I'm looking forward to it!" Vanellope said. Soon, the movie began playing and Vanellope and Rancis ceased talking. They were both quiet, that is, until Be Prepared started playing and Rancis, like he said, started singing along with it.
"I know that your powers of retention
Are as wet as a warthog's backside
But thick as you are, pay attention
My words are a matter of pride
It's clear from your vacant expressions
The lights are not all on upstairs
But we're talking kings and successions
Even you can't be caught unawares
So prepare for a chance of a lifetime
Be prepared for sensational news
A shining new era
Is tiptoeing nearer
And where do we feature?
Just listen to teacher
I know it sounds sordid
But you'll be rewarded
When at last I am given my dues
And injustice deliciously squared
Be prepared!
It's great that we'll soon be connected
With a king who'll be all-time adored
Of course, quid pro quo, you're expected
To take certain duties on board
The future is littered with prizes
And though I'm the main addressee
The point that I must emphasize is
You won't get a sniff without me!
So prepare for the coup of the century
Be prepared for the murkiest scam
Meticulous planning
Tenacity spanning
Decades of denial
Is simply why I'll
Be king undisputed
Respected, saluted
And seen for the wonder I am
Yes, my teeth and ambitions are bared
Be prepared!
Yes, our teeth and ambitions are bared
Be prepared!" Rancis sang along with the song. That earned a wolf whistle from Vanellope.
"Whoa. How often do you listen to this song?" Vanellope asked in shock.
"More than you'd think!" Rancis said, "What's your favorite song?"
"Like I'd ever tell you!" Vanellope joked. They proceeded to kiss.
"You'll learn once we get there!" Vanellope said. Rancis smiled and they continued watching the movie.
"Mufasa. Quick. Stampede. In the gorge. Simba's down there!'
'Simba?'"
"Oh goodness," Vanellope said softly, "we're approaching the saddest scene in the movie…!" Rancis hugged Vanellope, preparing to comfort her when she cried.
"Do you cry when you watch this scene?" Vanellope asked.
"Of course I do," Rancis said quietly.
"COULD YOU TWO PLEASE SHUT THE FUDGE UP?! I'M TRYING TO LISTEN TO THE MOVIE!" someone said.
"That guys must have some sharp-" Before Rancis could finish his sentence, Vanellope clamped her hand over his mouth, for they had approached Mufasa's death scene.
"'Dad? ...Dad, come on. You gotta get up. Dad. We gotta go home. HEEEEELP! Somebody! Anybody... help.'
'Simba. ...What have you done?'
'There were wildebeests and he tried to save me... it was an accident, I... I didn't mean for it to happen.'
'Of course, of course you didn't. No one... ever means for these things to happen. ...But the king IS dead. And if it weren't for you, he'd still be alive. Oh! What will your mother think?'
'What am I gonna do? Run away, Simba.
'Run... Run away and never return.'
Vanellope wiped the tears from her eyes.
"I don't like seeing you cry, Vanellope," Rancis said quietly.
"Sorry," Vanellope said, her voice cracking, "It's just so sad…" Rancis kissed her on the forehead. Vanellope looked at him and smiled. The movie continued on and they once again sat in complete and utter silence.
"I can see what's happening
What
And they don't have a clue
Who
They'll fall in love and here's the bottom line
Our trio's down to two
Oh
The sweet caress of twilight
There's magic everywhere
And with all this romantic atmosphere
Disaster's in the air"
Vanellope then broke the silence between the two of them and began singing.
"Can you feel the love tonight
The peace the evening brings
The world for once in perfect harmony
With all its living things"
Rancis then joined in singing, earning a smile from Vanellope.
"So many things to tell her
But how to make her see
The truth about my past, impossible
She'd turn away from me
He's holding back, he's hiding
But what, I can't decide
Why won't he be the king I know he is?
The king I see inside?
Can you feel the love tonight?
The peace the evening brings
The world, for once, in perfect harmony
With all its living things
Vanellope then rested her head on Rancis's shoulder.
Can you feel the love tonight?
You needn't look too far
Stealing through the night's uncertainties"
The two stopped singing and shared a kiss.
"Love is where they are"
And if he falls in love tonight
It can be assumed
His carefree days with us are history
In short, our pal is doomed"
"The only thing I DON'T like about the song is that Timon and Pumba ruin it!" Vanellope said. Rancis chuckled and kissed her on the forehead.
"That makes two of us," Rancis said. Eventually, the movie came to an end and the two drove home.
thedarkkn9ght: I honestly think this was the trickiest WiR fanfiction I've written, surprisingly.
Rancis: Really?
thedarkkn9ght: Yes. Really.
Vanellope: It feels like the other fanfictions you've written are a little bit trickier.
thedarkkn9ght: Okay. Anyway. What'd you two think of the fanfiction.
Rancis: Meh. Never been a big fan of The Lion King.
thedarkkn9ght: WHAT?! THAT'S ONE OF DISNEY'S BEST MOVIES!
Vanellope: Yeah. How could you NOT like it?
Rancis: I never said I didn't like it. I just said I haven't been a big FAN. I get enjoyment out of it, but it's not on my Top 10 Best Disney Movies.
thedarkkn9ght: Disney fans! ASSEMBLE!
Rancis: Oh boy…
thedarkkn9ght: ATTACK RANCIS!
Rancis: You're gonna allow this, Vanellope?
Vanellope: I'll try to talk him out of it.
thedarkkn9ght: If you're not with me, then I'm against YOU! You may be the cutest animated character in history, but that won't stop me from saying ATTACK VANELLOPE TOO!
Vanellope: Let's get out of here, Rancis!
thedarkkn9ght: I hope you enjoyed this fanfiction and hopefully, by the next fanfiction, Rancis will have changed his mind about one of Disney's BEST movies. Seriously, though. I BAWLED when I saw Mufasa's death scene.
