It was a normal night in Sugar Rush as the arcade closed. Vanellope was taking a stroll outside the castle.
"Vanellope?" a voice said.
"Rancis," Vanellope said.
"What're you doing here? I've always known you to hang out with Ralph after the day's up," Rancis said, slightly confused.
"Today is the weekly 'Bad-anon' and he participates in that event over at Pac-Man," Vanellope said.
"Bad-anon? What's that?" Rancis asked.
"It's basically a little 'get together' for the bad guys of different games. You have people like Bowser, Dr. Eggman, Zangief, and the host Clyde," Vanellope said.
"So… what do you plan to do right now?" Rancis asked.
"I dunno to be honest. I'd go play a little prank on Taffyta, but I'm not in the mood and what with the fact that her and I are a little bit on the uneasy side of things lately, I'd rather not do that," Vanellope said.
"My evening's free if you wanted to hang out," Rancis said.
"Really? What do you plan to do," Vanellope asked, her interest piqued.
"Well… every Wednesday night, I like to go to Snow Cone Mountain for a picnic," Rancis said. Vanellope let a smile crack on her face.
"All right," Vanellope said.
"Follow me then," Rancis said.
They arrived at Snow Cone Mountain and sat down. They set up the picnic.
"Of course…" Rancis began, realizing there wasn't enough snacks for the both of them, "I wasn't planning on bringing a girl with me, so… yeah…" Rancis bit his lower lip. He lied down on the ground and sighed.
"It's fine, Rancis," Vanellope said, "just going to this picnic with you gives me something to do."
"Well I-"
"Shh!" Vanellope said as she covered his mouth with her hand, "do you hear that?" Vanellope asked.
"Your voice," Rancis asked behind her hand, "yes."
"No…! There's something going on. I've got to go! Thanks for bringing me on this picnic with you!" Vanellope said as she hugged Rancis. She turned around and started running the other way.
Vanellope arrived at the castle and felt a strange amount of coding going on. As if someone were installing something into the game. A bright flash of light appeared at the top of Sugar Rush and a chibi girl with flame red hair, blue eyes, and a gummy bear themed outfit appeared and floated to the ground. Vanellope reacted quickly and looked for the girl. She gasped sharply when she saw the chibi girl.
"Are you okay? What's your name?" Vanellope asked without questioning what had just happened. The girl's voice was soft and pleasant.
"I'm okay…! I'm fine. My name's Gummyna Beary," the girl said.
"I'm Vanellope von Schweetz. President of Sugar Rush," Vanellope said.
"Really?" Gummyna said, "Sugar Rush looks more like it would be a monarch run place, not a constitutional government run place."
"It used to be, but, I deemed myself president. I was formerly the princess of Sugar Rush, but I prefer a constitutional government! So… welcome to Sugar Rush!" Vanellope said. Gummyna smiled shyly.
"How do you know that the citizens of Sugar Rush would prefer this kind of rule?" Gummyna asked.
"Well…" Vanellope said, "no one objected to it when I told them about it, so… I'd say everyone is okay with it!"
"Okay…" Gummyna said.
"Anyway… do you want me to show you around… or…?" Vanellope asked.
"No," Gummyna said, "I'm good."
"Alright," Vanellope said.
Inside Litwak's arcade, a man by the age of 70 and unplugged a flash drive from the Sugar Rush game console.
"Are you sure that flash drive will do it?" a woman said.
"You forget. You're talking to the best game coder in the world. I KNOW how to add a villain," the man said.
"But will it work?" the woman said.
"I've done the research and there is no WAY this won't get a game like Sugar Rush shut down! The villain I programmed in will cause the game to corrupt, and before you know it, the game's outta here!" the man said.
"Good. I've never liked that game!" the woman said as she left the building.
