I do NOT own Wreck-It Ralph which is owned by Disney. Here is the highly anticipated sequel to One Sweet Career! It starts right off where One Sweet Career left off. I hope everyone enjoys this high octane racing thriller. I hope you all enjoy:

Nights of Lightning

Rancis Fluggerbutter and Vanellope von Schweetz were still soaking up the news of their upgrade and of the new racing game that was going to be plugged in. "An upgrade, can you believe it Rancis? I wonder what will change?!" Vanellope squealed in excitement. Rancis just shrugged as he put on his hat and jacket.

"I haven't a clue Nelly, but maybe we'll be older and our karts might be faster," He suggested. Rancis took Vanellope's arm and led her out of the room along with Swizzle and Jubileena.

"Uh so, you guys slept in the same bed after only being a couple for nine hours?" Swizzle asked awkwardly as the four descended down the stairs.

"Yeah I know it sounds weird Swizz, but Rancis and I care about each other a lot and besides all we did was a little cuddling ya Fonzie wanna-be." Vanellope replied as they reached the castle's kitchen for some breakfast. Swizzle sighed in annoyance at his nick name.

"I really like that nick name you gave my special guy Vanellope, its pretty original!" Jubileena complemented as she sipped on some hot chocolate. This caused Swizzle not only to sigh, but snort also.

"Well I don't Jubee, its annoying, and what the hack is a Fonzie anyway?" Swizzle said through gritted teeth. Even he felt weird losing his cool complexion for a minute. Vanellope, Jubileena, and Rancis all looked awkwardly at each other over Swizzle's remark. Vanellope mouthed to Jubileena, 'Has he ever seen Happy Days?' Jubileena mouthed back a shocked, 'I guess not.'

"Oh crap, look at the time guys, the arcade opens in thirty minutes!" Rancis exclaimed. Swizzle and Jubileena quickly got up and hauled ass out of the castle. Rancis got up too, but was stopped by Vanellope.

"Good luck today baby-blue eyes," Vanellope complemented her boyfriend. She gave him a quick peck on the lips and let him go. Rancis, still new to the relationship, was frozen in place. He eventually got his brain working again and smiled.

"Thank you Nellie, good luck to you too," he replied before leaving. He scurried out to his kart, leaving Vanellope leaning against the door frame staring at him with a sigh.

"I love the taste of peanut butter on his lips," she said to herself. She got lost in her mind as she thought more and more of Rancis. Even when he tormented her like a piece of dirt, she always felt special feelings for him. And now, fifteen years later, they had both realized their true feelings. It was a little strange waking up in his arms, yet it felt right. She vowed to herself that she would never lose him to anything. Her head snapped up when she realized that the arcade would open soon. She hurriedly got on her fire suit, helmet, goggles, and gloves and jumped into her kart and sped off to Sugar Rush Motor Speedway.

(Arcade closing time)

The gamers raced the lives out of the characters. For a Saturday, it was close to a record breaker for number of races. All 16 characters took the green flag 37 times, coming close to breaking the record of 43 races in a day. All were exhausted, except for Rancis, whom was chosen more frequently due to being first on the roster list. And as luck would have it, he won close to 60% of the race that day.

"Wow, now that was a great day of racing. Great but exhausting," Taffyta said after taking a long swig of water. She was still sitting in her kart trying to catch her breath.

"It sure was Taffyta, and I liked that last minute block you pulled on me during the last race, very sneaky." Vanellope replied taking off her helmet and goggles. Her hair was greasy with sweat which began to travel down her face. She grabbed a bottle of water and splashed it on her face, breathing in a big sigh of relief.

"So Nellie, are you gonna tell everyone the news," Rancis suggested.

"Sweet mother of monkey milk, I completely forgot to tell them!" Vanellope exclaimed. "Attention everyone, please do not under any circumstances leave the game tonight. We are getting an upgrade!" Vanellope declared. The murmuring began immediately. Candlehead was the only one to speak up.

"What's going to change Vanellope?" She asked innocently.

"I honestly have no idea Candlehead, but Rancis thinks we'll be older and our karts will be faster," Vanellope replied as she got off her kart. The murmuring started back up again as everyone thought what could change.

"Okay we are all happy with the upgrade Miss President, but if we're all stuck in the game, what the hell are we gonna do for eight hours?" Swizzle asked. A few 'yeah's' were tossed around. They all again looked at their president for an idea. Vanellope shrugged, for even she had no idea what to do. They couldn't practice because if their karts were changing, it would be a waste of time to practice in their current karts.

"How about a slumber party," Crumbelina offered. All the girls, except Vanellope of course, squealed in excitement. All Vanellope did was smirk in agreement.

"Okay if you girls have a slumber party, then us guys will have a movie night," Rancis said as he fist bumped Swizzle. Gloyd slapped him on the back.

"Good idea pretty boy, I have loads of horror movies at my place." Gloyd replied. Rancis cringed at the friendly insult. He got upset when others insulted him, but Vanellope was alright, it was one of the things that made his heart melt.

"Whatever boys, you can do what you want. C'mon girls, we don't have a moment to lose!" Vanellope exclaimed as all the girls took off for the castle. The boys started off in the other direction towards Gloyd's house.

(With the girls)

"So what's on the agenda tonight Vanellope," Minty Zaki asked as she sipped her soda. Minty, Taffyta, Jubileena, Vanellope, Adorabeezle, Crumbelina, Snowanna, and Candlehead were all in their pajamas in Vanellope's bedroom.

"Ooh, we could watch a romantic comedy like You've Got Mail or Failure to Launch, I love those movies," Crumbelina offered.

"Um, blecch," Vanellope said with her finger in her mouth. True, she loved being in a relationship with Rancis, but she detested romantic comedies.

"I gotta agree with my home-girl here," Snowanna declared, "I was thinking of some truth-or-dare," she suggested. The girls gasped in agreement.

"Now there's an idea that doesn't bite," Adorabeezle said as she put away her MP3 player and got in the circle of girls.

(With the guys)

"Okay boys, I have here either A Nightmare on Elm Street or Halloween; take your pick!" Gloyd said holding up two DVDs.

"Elm Street," both Swizzle and Rancis replied. Swizzle seemed a little miffed. "Come one Gloyd, Rancis and I have girlfriends, and watching a horror movie with exposed nudity seems really low," Swizzle continued with Rancis nodding in agreement.

"Yeah you're right Swizz," Gloyd replied as he popped in the movie. In reality, he really only cared for the horror and violence. When the movie started, Gloyd and Swizzle munched on their popcorn and drank their Pepsis. Rancis wasn't really paying attention. Gloyd seemed to notice and decided to check on his friend. "Are you all right there Rancis?" He asked in a hushed tone.

"Hmm, uh what Gloyd?" Rancis asked as he was snapped out of his thoughts.

"I asked if you were alright," Gloyd repeated as he put the movie on pause to talk to Rancis.

"Yeah I'm fine Gloyd, just thinking that's all." Rancis replied taking a drink.

"Thinking about what bro?" Swizzle chimed in.

"About the upgrade and if Vanellope and I will still like each other," Rancis confessed. Gloyd and Swizzle finally understood.

"Look Rancis, I know you two will be fine, I can tell from watching you and her at last night's party," Swizzle assured. Rancis contemplated this and nodded. "Speaking of girls, after the upgrade, are you gonna ask out Taffyta Gloyd?" Swizzle joked. Gloyd did a massive spit take with his Pepsi.

"W-what are you talking about Swizzle? I don't like her that way! I think she's too bossy," Gloyd defended.

"Oh please Orangeboar, I see the way you drool over her after she takes off her helmet and swishes her hair around," Swizzle retorted with a snicker. Gloyd snorted in annoyance.

"Whatever Fonzie," this caused Swizzle to grit his teeth.

"Why do people call me that? I don't even know what that means!" Swizzle declared in anger. Suddenly, throughout Sugar Rush, a blindingly white light lit up the night as if the sun went super nova. All the racers, fans, cops, and fans fell into a deep and peaceful slumber.

(Out in the arcade)

"Thanks for doing this at night Johnny, Jeff Litwak said.

"Hey no problem Mr. Witlak, it's the least I could do for my favorite arcade owner. I remember playing games here back in '95," a 24 year old man said as he stood up from his work. Johnny had just begun the upgrade for Sugar Rush.

"And thanks for also getting that new NASCAR game up a few days early," Mr. Litwak said. After a few minutes, Johnny's work was done.

"Okay Mr. Litwak, NASCAR is up and ready to roll, but Sugar Rush won't be ready until morning." The screen for Sugar Rush had a message that read, 'Upgrade in Progess.'

"Tell me Johnny, is there anything else I need to do for the upgrade?" Mr. Litwak asked. He had run the arcade for close to three and a half decades, but he also wanted to make sure everything was alright for the kids.

"Yeah there is Mr. Litwak, just let the kids have fun," Johnny chuckled. They both locked up the arcade for the night and went their separate ways.

"See you later Johnny!" Mr. Litwak called out. He felt better about having Sunday off to give the game more time to recoup.

(With Ralph)

Ralph had been secretly watching the work done on Vanellope's game. "Why didn't she let me know?" He said to himself. He waited for Litwak and Johnny to leave before talking to Felix.

"What can I do for you brother?" Felix asked as Ralph approached him.

"Well Sugar Rush just got an upgrade, but Vanellope didn't tell me! I mean what if she doesn't even remember me because of it?" Ralph said in a worried tone. Felix patted him on his arm.

"Don't worry Ralph; I'm sure everything will be fine. Your friendship with her is very strong. She won't forget you, I promise," Felix said.

"Thanks buddy," Ralph said breathing a sigh of relief.

"I can fix anything Ralph, now I'll see you tomorrow!" Felix declared as he went up to his apartment. Ralph went to his shack and took one last look at Sugar Rush.

"I hope you remember me kid," he said to himself as he shut the door. Four hours later, the screen of Sugar Rush rebooted and the game started playing its theme song. "S-U-G-A-R Jump Into Your Racing Car!" Across the aisle, the NASCAR game was finished booting up also, playing its theme song: Born to be Wild."
