Wreck-It Ralph High
Chapter One: New School Year
"Alright Fabulous Melanie, is about to make the shot that will win the game," a young 17 year old said under her breath. Her hair was a dark brown with red high lights held back in a ponytail with a purple ball cap turned backwards. She set her blue eyes on the basket and with great speed she dribbled the ball and jumped tossing it in the air. Time slowed down as the ball circled around the rim. "Come on, come one," Melanie whispered nervously. The ball circled finally going into the hoop. "And the crowd goes crazy, Melanie Fix-It has just won the NBA championship!" she screamed jumping in the air.
"Mel, where are you?" called a voice. Melanie turned to see a boy the same age as her but a foot shorter with light brown hair, a rosy complexion, and the same eye color as her. His hat was blue yet facing the way it was supposed to go. Now Melanie wore a white t-shirt with black jeans that had holes at the knees, and beat up black sneakers. The boy had on a white t-shirt but a blue vest with blue jeans and white tennis shoes.
"Hey Felix, what brings you here?" Melanie asked walking up to him.
"Mom wants us home for dinner, come on let's go grab Ralph he should be getting off soon," Felix said.
"Okay, so you ready for basketball tryouts?" Melanie asked her brother.
"Yeah, I can't believe we made the team again last year," Felix said smiling.
"All because of team work and practice," Melanie said dribbling her ball on the sidewalk.
"I hope we make the team again," Felix said nervously playing with his ball cap.
"Why do you think I have been practicing non-stop all summer?" Melanie asked with a grin. Felix just laughed as they walked down the street. It was a clear day and tomorrow they would start their senior year. Both kids were excited yet soon they would have to apply to colleges and think of their futures. Till then they agreed to just enjoy senior year and worry about their futures later on. Felix and Melanie turned a corner and came to a construction site. Men bigger than Felix with biceps the size of Melanie's basketball came out. "Do you see Ralph?" Melanie asked. Even though she was six foot and Felix only five they had trouble seeing Ralph over the giant men. Till a familiar red shirt caught Melanie's eye, "There he is, hey Ralph over here!" Melanie shouted. A seven foot nineteen year old boy man came out wearing blue overalls, and black boots. His brown hair was shaggy but covered by a hard hat and he had deep brown eyes. The callous on his hands were big yet he did a lot of work.
"Hey guys," Ralph said greeting the younger kids.
"Hey Ralph how was work?" Felix asked.
"Oh just fine wrecked two old building today and the boss was talking about building a new restaurant down town," Ralph said. "Anyways I am hungry I hope Mom fixed enough dinner, I could eat a mountain," he said with a grin.
"As long as you take a bath first buddy whew eeh," Melanie giggled.
"Hardy har, har," Ralph said shaking his head.
"Come on guys let's get going," Felix said as they walked on to their home. They crossed Niceland Street and came to a blue house with white shutters. A little girl, at least eight years old with black hair in pig tails, with hazel eyes, and freckles sat on the lawn. Her outfit was a black t-shirt and a green hoodie and her pants were black with black and white tennis shoes.
"Hey guys," the little girl said smiling at them.
"Hey Vanellope," Felix said.
"Hey V," Melanie told her.
"Hey Booger Face," Ralph teased.
"Hello Stink Brain," Vanellope giggled back. Then she turned her attention to her home made go-kart.
"I see you are planning on entering the annual go cart race," Felix said.
"You got it and this year me and the Lickity Split will win," Vanellope said proudly adding wheels to her cart.
"Do you need help Vanellope, I am good with fixing things," Felix said.
"No I got it thanks anyway," Vanellope said as she tested the wheel.
"Well, good luck V," Melanie said as they headed up the stairs. Ralph headed to the shower as delicious smells lingering around the house. They followed the smells to the kitchen were they found a woman two inches taller than Felix with a plump body, green eyes and brown hair in a bun. She wore a blue shirt and jeans yet was wearing an apron covered in dough and flour.
"Hi, kids just baking some more pies for the shop," said the woman.
"Hey Mom, need any help?" Felix asked.
"Nope I got it," his mom assured him. Their mother owned a pie shop called Lucy Fix-It's Pie Haven, the most popular shop in town. She was always working late coming up with new pie flavors to sell and different ways to make pie. Within a few minutes the timer went ding and Lucy quickly put on some oven mitts and took the pie out of the oven.
"So, Mom what pie did you make this time?" Melanie asked as she was looking in the fridge for some Kool-Aid.
"It is Strawberry Chocolate Surprise," Lucy said proudly. "Wait till it cools down then you kids can try a slice," she added as she stirred the soup they were having.
"I hope it tastes better than her Tangy Lemon Pineapple Pie," Melanie whispered making a disgusted face.
"Oh come on it wasn't that bad," Felix said.
"You threw up all night and I had the stomach ache for two days," Melanie reminded him.
"Look if we don't like it we will give our pieces to Ralph," Felix whispered.
"Yeah he eats anything," Melanie said smiling.
"What are you two whispering about?" Lucy asked looking at her children.
"Nothing," they said together. Vanellope came in and washed her hands as Ralph came in freshly clean as he kissed Mom on the head.
"Hey Mom, dinner ready?" he asked with a grin.
"Once someone sets the table," Lucy said. Melanie grabbed the bowls, Vanellope took the silver ware, and Felix made drinks. Ralph grabbed some fresh napkins and the butter for the biscuits. Soon the family set down and ate their soup. "You guys excited for your senior year?" asked Lucy sipping her soup.
"Yeah I can't wait for the basketball tryouts, the coach has them every year so hopefully we remake the team," Melanie said.
"Oh I know we will Mel," Felix said proudly.
"I just hope I graduate," Ralph said nervously. Ralph repeated freshmen year when he was 15 and was held back. Thanks to Felix, Melanie, and Lucy, Ralph was sure to graduate senior year.
"Don't worry brother we won't let you fail," Felix said.
"Yeah us Fix-Its stick together," Melanie cheered.
"Well, technically Vanellope and I are Wreck-It's not Fix-It's," Ralph reminded them.
"Hey you are a Fix-It in spirit and still our brother don't worry senior year will be a blast," Felix said. After dinner Lucy cut open the pie and it smelled okay but Felix and Melanie still had doubts.
"Looks good Mom," Vanellope said as Ralph rubbed his hands eagerly. Lucy cut five slices and placed one slice in front of them.
"Let me know what you think," Lucy said. Ralph took a bite and licked his lips.
"Best pie ever Mom, normally I don't like chocolate but this pie is pretty good," Ralph said taking another bite. That didn't tell Felix and Melanie much for Ralph would eat anything. Then Vanellope took a bite and smiled.
"Not bad mom but you may want to add hmmm, oh I know a caramel texture to balance the chocolate," Vanellope said.
"I will consider it dear," Lucy said taking a bit herself. "Hmmm and maybe have a graham cracker crust oh Felix, Melanie what do you think?" she asked looking at them. They exchanged looks and knew what they had to do. Felix picked up his fork and cut into the pie as did Melanie. Then they placed the bite in their mouths and chewed. The pie was sweet from the chocolate and tangy from the strawberries with a delicate flakey crust.
"This is good Mom," Felix said.
"Real good," Melanie agreed and finished her pie. After dinner Ralph and Vanellope cleared the table, as Melanie did dishes and Felix took out the trash. It was then he saw a basket ball rolling to him. He picked it up and heard someone shout to him.
"Hey that is my ball!" a 17 year old girl shouted. Felix's mouth nearly dropped for this girl was stunning. Her hair was blonde yet cut neatly short with a strand of bangs falling over her icy blue eyes. Now her figure was athletic with pale skin. She wore a black t-shirt and jeans with tennis shoes. She was six foot and stood over Felix looking at him holding out her hands. "Can I have my ball back?" she asked him.
"What oh um yes here you are ma'am," Felix said shaking his head and handed her the ball.
"Thanks, but my name isn't ma'am it is Tamora Calhoun, I just moved here with my folks. Who might you be pint sized?" she asked giving him a small smile.
"Felix Fix-It Jr." Felix said tipping his hat to her. Tamora let out a small chuckle.
"Your last name is seriously Fix-It?" she asked laughing again. Felix blushed placing his hat over his face.
"What is wrong with my last name?" he asked unsure what was so funny.
"Oh I am sorry I didn't mean anything by it. I just never heard a last name like yours before it is very um unique," Tamora said trying not to offend him further.
"Well I can understand that, it is okay that you laughed I would too. So, you just moved here uh. Maybe I will see you around school," he said smiling again.
"Maybe, what grade are you in let me guess you will be a freshmen," Tamora said.
"Actually no, I will be a senior," Felix said blushing again.
"Really, I wouldn't have guessed your um size threw me off," she said frowning.
"Yeah I am pretty short but it doesn't bother me," Felix said. Tamora smiled she really liked Felix, he seemed like a nice guy.
"So, does this school have a basketball team?" she asked.
"Oh yeah my sister Melanie and I are retrying out for the team and our older brother is on the football team," Felix said.
"Cool maybe I will see you at tryouts, I have to go but it was nice talking to you," Tamora said waving. Felix waved back and headed inside. The next day school started. Lucy took Vanellope to second grade and the other kids walked to the school. Litwick High was a huge red building as kids all came excited for the new year. Boys showed up in flashy cars as girls wearing miniskirts walked by having the boys whistle at them.
"Oh great he is back too," Melanie grumbled. Just as she uttered those words a sporty red car with white strips zoomed into the parking lot with rock music blaring and the engine roaring. A boy the same height as Felix only with platinum blonde hair and lime green eyes, with a light peach skin came out of the car. He wore a white t-shirt with red strips and a matching pair of jeans and black boots. The girls screamed when they saw him, Blake Rogers a.k.a Turbo. He was known for driving fast and wearing the latest style of clothes.
"I thought he was suspended last year?" Ralph asked.
"Look forget it lets grab our schedules and head to class," Felix said. Yet, Turbo spotted them and jumped in front.
"Hey it's the Loser Squad miss me guys?" Turbo asked.
"Not now Turbo we have to get to class," Felix said.
"Sorry did a mouse squeak?" Turbo asked.
"Who you calling a mouse, you are the same height as Felix," Melanie snapped.
"I wasn't talking to you girlie," Turbo hissed.
"Is there a problem here kids?" a man asked. He was tall with a round belly, black hair but no hair on top with kind eyes covered up by glasses. His clothes were a buttoned up white t-shirt and black slacks with shiny black shoes.
"Um no Principal Litwick sir, we were just talking," Turbo said politely.
"You all get to class," Litwick said yet pulled Felix aside. "Except you Mr. Fix-it I need to talk to you privately," he said. Felix paled for he wondered why the principal needed to talk to him on the first day of school. Yet, he remained quiet as he was led to the Principal's office. Litwick sat down as did Felix, and he spoke. "First off Felix, you are not in trouble. I just wanted to ask you if you mind showing a new kid around the school for a bit till they get the handle of things," Mr. Litwick said.
"Sure sir, I would be happy to," Felix said.
"Good," Mr. Litwick said and just then a knock was heard on the door. Mr. Litwick got up and opened the door, "Come in I was just talking to your guide, and he happily volunteered to show you around the school". Felix turned to see Tamora Calhoun standing before him. "Felix meet Ms. Tamora Calhoun, our new student and you will be showing her around," he told Felix.
