It is decided then.
Vanellope has decided to stay in Slaughter Race. At least she saw changes in Taffyta and the other racers while she was away having her adventure with Ralph in the Internet. In fact, they are behaved properly and no temper tantrums upon losing in races. This is mostly done by the way Felix and Sgt. Calhoun raised them while she and Ralph had their adventure.
After one last visit to her game, she left for the Game Central Station, and she saw the station that led to the Internet wasn't blocked with yellow tape after what had happened.
As she took one step...
"So you're leaving now..." a voice on called her, and she looked behind to see it's Taffyta coming out of her game to have a conversation with her, which is going to be her last. "That's funny. I always blame Ralph for all your troublemakings, including on what had happened recently that started your adventure in the Internet. I always thought he's a bad influence on you."
"Yeah, I know," Vanellope acknowledges on what she said, especially the last part.
"But at least he's a good bad guy. After all, he saved the day again, even if he started the situation in first place," the blonde said in acknowledgement of the big guy. "Now, tell me, Pres... I mean, Vanellope," she cleared her throat to remember that her position as President is now transferred to hers when she has decided to stay at Slaughter Race. "Why do you trust me to run Sugar Rush in your place?"
"Why do you think? I trust you, Taffyta," the brunette responds to the question, and it's an honest answer.
"You trust... me?" Taffyta blushed at this.
"Yes, I do. After all, you're my equal. Always catching up to me in our races," she gave a short answer. "You're always second place, while I'm first place."
"Yeah, I do remember that," Taffyta chuckled a little on it. The memories of their races will always be in their heads, and so are the times when they're not racing such as being invited to the castle for sleepovers and helping each other when the other is in trouble.
Vanellope chuckled in return before taking another step. Just then, she felt the blonde wrapping her arms around her for a hug. Noticing this, she hugs her in return.
This is the last hug they will share with each other.
"You're the best friendly rival I could ever have," Taffyta acknowledged while tears started coming out of her eyes.
"I know," Vanellope responds.
After a few seconds, they let go of the hug. She even helped her wipe her tears, along with her makeup being smudged over.
"Good luck out there," Taffyta said her goodbye. Vanellope smiled at her for it, as she went for the station leading to the Internet.
Heading back to Sugar Rush, she's ready for her new life as President.
