Wralph and Felix saw many game's come and go from the arcade in 30 years, One of which being Turbo Time and the many games Turbo had gotten unplugged, Hero's Duty ( Which still stands tall and proud) and Sugar Rush . A game that wasn't as sweet as it seemed.

Ralph wasn't there to see Sugar Rush being plugged in, because it was plugged in during Gaming hours. And he didnt even know about it. He had never even seen the children leave that game. They had no reson to. In Tappers , Characters began to talk about it, and so he knew about it from then. Suprising that he didnt see it actually, It was opposite his game, But he had never been high enough out of arcade hours to see it.

Though, Rumour had it , the game was infested by children and candy. Which gave Ralph no interest in even taking a glance at it. Wralph hated candy. Always made him sick.

" Happy new year Ralph!" Felix said sheepishly through a forced smile.

"You too Felix." Ralph said happily as he shook hands with Felix.

" Whats that?"

Ralph turned to see Mr Litwak bending down, Lights flashing , walking away and locking up the arcade.

" New game by the looks of it!" Felix beamed out of his now smiling face. Ralph however was not so impressed.

" Back downhill from here. Probably one of those new adventure games."

Felix looked at him, Confused. " What do you mean 'downhill'?"

" No gamers for us. Were old Felix. Its all these new higher graphics now , are all that catch their attention . Not old simple games like ours. "

" Please don't say things like that Ralph. Your'e beginning to sound like Turbo."

Time seemed to pause for a few moments as Felix realised what he just said and Ralph looked at him blankly. To break the silence, " Im going to Tappers " Ralph said as he walked and squeezed into the train to Game Central Station.

As he arrived in game central he glanced at the plug to the new game. It sounded like an adventure game. Sugar Rush. He thought it was the kind of game where you would jump on different platforms to get different candies. He walked streight into Tappers from there. That wasnt classed as game-jumping. Because you more or less had no chance of death in that game. So it was officially permitted that characters could come and go from Tappers as they pleased.

Ralph was not just seen as a bad guy because he was a "Bad guy " He was also widely feared beause he was friends with Turbo. All the other characters were cautious of him beause they beleived that Turbo's actions influinced him enough to encourage him to Game jump and take over games. Surely nobody in Sugar Rush had ever even heard of Turbo or Ralph for that matter yet. And if they had well, Rumours spread fast.

When he got to tappers, the only one that didn't run was the Bartender. Other than run, All he did was listen to Ralph at the times he needed to talk to someone most.

" Happy new year Ralph. " The Bartender smiled at him.

" Yeah you too Bartender " Ralph replied.

" Something up buddy? "

" Yes. People have been whispering and turning a blind eye to me all night ,and even Felix is acting weird. Whats going on?"

The Bartender sighed. " Do you really not remember Ralph? "

" Is it your birthday? Because , i mean... I can get you a free drink? "

The Bartender leaned forward and whispered in his ear, " Its the Turbo Time anniversary. "

Ralph suddenly went wide eyed and stared at the Bartender. " Oh! That was today?! "

" Yes. Nobodys very exited. Everybody still hates Turbo . So nobody really wants to celebrate. And if anybody is, They're celebrating his downfall. Insted of his victories."

" Okay , well... Are you celebrating? "

" Are you? Im not. I wasn't exactly his friend."

" He was a good guy though."

" Thats debatable. Anyway , did you see the new game next to the Whack-A-Mole?"

" Yeah Sugar Rush isn't it? Is it an adventure game? "

" Not close. Its a racing game. Good graphics from what i have seen, Its going to attract alot of gamers."

" Good thing Turbo isn't here." Without realising, He said that loudly. Everybody stopped drinking and stared at him. Most whispered. Ralph ducked his head low.

" Let's not say any more yes? " Bartender asked, his eyes squinting.

" Almost opening time. Have to go." Ralph got up and walked out the door. Not looking at anyone on his way out.
