Chapter 1-The Perfect Arrangement
Vanellope von Schweetz was in her castle in Sugar Rush playing Truth or Dare with Taffyta Muttonfudge, Candlehead, and Crumbelina DiCaramello. They had a fun time telling deep secrets and doing daring challenges. It was Taffyta's turn where chose to do a dare in which was told to see how many marshmallows she could put in her mouth at one time. Taffyta was able to put 12 marshmallows in her mouth, but then she was unable to hold it and ended up spitting it all out. Everyone was so grossed out by the mess that they had to move to another room.
"I think I just ruptured my throat." Taffyta commented "Okay, Vanellope, your turn, truth or dare?"
"Truth." Vanellope answered.
"Have you ever had certain feelings for Ralph?" Taffyta asked.
"Of course, he's the best friend that I've ever had." Vanellope answered.
"No, we don't mean those kinds of feelings." Crumbelina replied "We mean to ask that do you have a crush on him or something?"
"First of all, you're about to make me throw up like Taffyta did with those marshmallows." Vanellope answered "Second, looking at Ralph is like looking at my own brother, so it kind of grosses me out to think about him that way."
"So, Vanellope, how is your brother doing?" Candlehead asked.
"Hey, the rules of truth or dare are to answer one question per truth." Vanellope commented.
"We just want to put the game on hold for a moment, because we want to know how the legendary Wreck-It-Ralph is doing." Taffyta commented.
"Alright, I'll tell you, but you guys need to give me some advice on the situation that I'm currently in." Vanellope replied.
"Wait, are you guys in a fight or something?" Taffyta asked.
"I don't know, he won't even tell me how he feels. Ralph's been having moments where he is calm, and moments when he just feels upset." Vanellope answered.
"If there's one thing I know about boys, other than the fact that they have 'boy disease', is that they never talk about how they feel." Candlehead commented.
"Well, I don't know what to do, because it's best happening for a week." Vanellope commented back.
"Let's rewind, when was the last moment that Ralph was his usual self?" Taffyta asked.
"It was the previous last Saturday, when Ralph and I were in that parade float." Vanellope answered.
Vanellope reminisced about the moment when she and Ralph had been in a float for a parade that was held in Sugar Rush. Ralph and Vanellope were on the float dancing to the song "Scream & Shout" by will. featuring Britney Spears. Other members of the game had joined in which assembled into a large flash mob.
"And when was the first time that Ralph was no longer his usual self?" Taffyta asked again.
"The next day in the afternoon when we met in Game Central Station, but he never answered to anything I said." Vanellope answered again "How are you? What did you think of the parade? Want to hear our song again? But all I got was silence."
"So, something must have happened to him after the parade but before you went to see him." Taffyta assumed "It appears that Ralph has that subject wrapped up tight, so I guess you're going to have to speak to him and get the answer right out of him."
"I can't do that." Vanellope replied.
"Come on, you were brave enough to save Ralph's life the same amount of times that he saved your life." Crumbelina commented "Come on, like you said, he's your brother, and you don't give up on your brother."
The next day, Vanellope had left Sugar Rush after the arcade's closing time to visit Ralph at his game. Ralph was just finishing removing the mud off him after being thrown in it multiple times.
"Ralph, how's the game treating you?" Vanellope asked in an upbeat tone.
"You seem very giddy right now." Ralph responded.
"Well, you don't seem giddy at all." Vanellope responded back "I got to know, what's wrong with you? You've been acting strange all week."
"Honestly, I don't know what's wrong with me." Ralph answered "I can't eat, I can't sleep, and I've got so much on my mind."
"What exactly is on your mind?" Vanellope asked bracingly "Are you back on the chocolate again?"
"No, I haven't eaten any in months." Ralph answered.
"Are you upset about how fat you are?" Vanellope asked again.
"I'm not fat, it's my stature, and it makes me look big." Ralph answered again "I've been alright, up to the point when I met-"
"Who did you meet?" Vanellope interrupted.
"One of the games here at the arcade has been upgraded and we've been visited by some new characters." Ralph continued "I happened to meet one of them a week ago."
"What's the name of the new arrival?" Vanellope asked.
"Her name is Cassandra." Ralph answered "She's a new combat character who fights with a staff. She has been a new addition to one of the fantasy fighting games here that I don't remember the name of. I've haven't been that attentive lately. Anyway, when I met her, I didn't have anything to say, and now she's just on my mind constantly."
"I know what you got, something that begins with the letter 'L'." Vanellope commented.
"Okay, I don't have that disgusting thing you're talking about." Ralph commented back.
"No, I mean you're like practically falling in love with this Cassandra." Vanellope corrected.
"I understood what you meant; it's just that I wish I could get this all out of my mind." Ralph responded.
"What you need to do is talk to her again." Vanellope suggested "You know, the both of you need to get together, or something. I really don't know anything about coupling."
"You're a child, you're not supposed to." Ralph responded "Anyway, I can't go talk to her because every time I just-"
"You need to stop being scared, you big Stinkbrain." Vanellope shouted.
"You call me Stinkbrain a lot. It's not exactly a term of endearment." Ralph argued "How can someone like me able to have what it takes to date Cassandra?"
"I'll tell you why, because you are hiring me as your wingman, or wing-girl, or wing-person." Vanellope answered "If you follow my lead, and do exactly as I say, you'll be to have this girl in your arms in two minutes at the least."
"And how is that going to work?" Ralph asked.
"Let me construct you a plan." Vanellope responded as she took out her blackboard "The next time we see Cassandra tomorrow night, you'll take me with you. First, I will go up to her, and pretend to be sad. I'll provide you with a lollipop that you will give me right after I pull out the waterworks. She sees you being great with a child like me, and then she will be falling for you."
"Where did you get that blackboard?" Ralph asked.
"It was just lying there in Game Central Station." Vanellope answered.
"But wait, how am I going to repay you for this plan of yours?" Ralph wondered.
"You'll owe me a few favours that you will do for me when I ask and say 'Please.'" Vanellope answered "So, are you in?"
"I'm in." Ralph responded.
Ralph and Vanellope had shook hands, and were preparing to set their plan into motion. Even though both of them were confident, they were unsure of what would happen next.
