The owner/manager of the arcade, Mr. Litwak was closing up for the day and saw the girl crying her eyes out across from his arcade. Walking across to the girl Mr. Litwak asked "Are you lost sweetie?".
"They left me behind!" Ukyo sobbed. Shocked, Mr. Litwak replied "Your parents?" Ukyo shook her head "My fiancee and his dad took my families cart, and left me behind! How can I face my father?; I'm a failure!" she spoke as she buried her face in her hands.
"And what game are you from?" asked the syrup covered jumpsuited princess of the Candy Kingdom as she smoothed out a crack in the frosting of her kart with a butter knife. "Tur-Finish Line Your Majesty." cautiously replied the figure kneeling at the foot of the throne. "How am I supposed to know how to address a ruling princess" thought the number one menace in the arcade.
"I wasn't aware that automobile racers needed drivers." stated Princess Vanellope Von Schweetz with a raised eyebrow. "Some of the cars are formula ones." Turbo, or as he's currently calling himself Fantastic Tim quickly answered. Having adjusted the taffy bear-akes, Vanellope finished tinkering with her cart, and had to come to a decision. Honestly she'd like to be more careful with the information she has, but if what Fantastic Tim said was true his game would be unplugged the very next day if she didn't give him what he wanted. She might be seen as holding out just to eliminate the competition, however if she gave him the code and it worked she would be a hero in the arcade after her very first day plugged in. And Vanellope really wanted to be a hero!
"It's not like he knows where my code vault is. And he's too old and slow to get past my Oreo guards anyways!" thought the naive princess. After wiping her hands with a rag, she unzipped her jumpsuit pocket for the royal stationary and looked at it disappointed. It was soaked through with sticky syrup.
"Here you can use this." Turbo quickly passing what he was holding to a green sour ball. Sour Bill, Vanellope's sour ball retainer brought the item to the princess. It was a napkin with "Tapper's" the name of the establishment emblazoned on the front. "I'll go there tomorrow" thought Vanellope. Turning it over Vanellope brought out a candy pen and wrote the code that according to Tim was common to both of their games.
Mr. Litwik was upset, he brought Ukyo Kuonji to her family just for them to disown her, leading to even more crying. "How can people like that be parents?" he thought to himself. "If she were my daughter I'd..." Mr. Litwik realized that "She can be my daughter, and I'd have someone to run the arcade when I can no longer do so." Not having the sufficient funds to have her parents custody revoked (Even though they had disowned her) and formally adopt her, he would have to simply hire her instead.
"I have a place you can stay, if you work hard." he said. "I will work very hard." Ukyo answered. "Come with me then." Mr. Litwik ordered gently.
Inside the code vault, Turbo was integrating his code into the game, which was helped by Sugar Rush using a licensed engine with a toolkit. there were more recolors for every model along with models for a king and others. From sound clips of the announcer saying "Candy Kingdom" he fashioned the name "King Candy". He also discovered discarded relationships and plots. Finished he pulled himself out along the taffy line he tied to the door.
Outside he was greeted with a tackle from the princess. "Daddy!" Vanellope squealed, only to be shocked as her father knocked her off of him. "What did I do?" Vanellope sniffled.
"Vanellope", King Candy realization sinking in. "I'm sorry sugar I was just a little jumpy after coming out of the code vault." he apologized. "Yeah, why were you in their anyways. And without an guards... I called in these ones here when I saw the vault was open. We were just plugged after all." Vanellope cheering up replied.
King Candy gleefully saw that his reprogramming worked. "I'm just doing a check before the roster race." knowing that'll change the subject. "Can I be in it?" Vanellope pleaded "Please with sugar and cherries on top". "No I forbid you to race!" King Candy answered sternly, playing the part of an overprotective father."You could get hurt."
"But racing is in my code!" Vanellope snapped back. "I'll have to fix that then." King Candy thought. He soothingly answered, "Now if that were true then you would have a cart, wouldn't you?"
Ukyo was grateful to the nice man that took her in, but still mourned the loss of her cart and her honor. Remembering stealing the family recipe to cook okonomiyaki for ranma, she resolved to never be so foolish around boys again. "I will have my vengeance Ranma Saotome!" she quietly swore.
When she asked and Mr. Litwak answered he lived alone with no wife she automatically volunteered to cook okonomiyaki for him. Stopping at the market, Mr Litwak bought the ingredients she selected and they went home. While Mr. Litwak readied a room for her Ukyo was in her element in the kitchen, using stools to reach things normally out of reach.
================================================================================================ First Turbo Resistance - "As we all know the random roster race would normally be pay-to-play, but for our first day in the arcade lets just Meltdown - Mr. Litwak and Ukyo entered the arcade early in the morning, so he could show her the ropes. "There's the ropes" he said while pointing Sweet Devil - Felix was a little surprised to be woke up early in the morning and then left with no commands, while Ralph looked Hello Planet - King Candy was in the code vault throwing a tantrum. He'd like to think of it as calmly pruning the code, but the The Disappearance of Princess Vanellope Von Schweetz - "Princess" Adorabeezle exclaimed, "what is wrong?". Static ran up and down her body and it began to distort. Back in the code vault turbo Something else ================================================================================================
