Chapter 1: Splash Down

"Location: The Wasteland, The World Of Disney, September 29th 2110"

One afternoon in the Wasteland, the Sugar Rush racers, Cinndon, Candace, Toxika, Damon, and Crepe were rushing to get to OsTown. Vanellope ran next to Tovald, who was leading the group.

"So, your saying that Chip was kidnapped and brought here?" Vanellope asked.

"That's right." Torvald replied.

"But are you sure he's even here?" Cinndon asked.

Torvald took a sheet of paper out of her skirt pocket.

"Well, I did find this note that reads 'Come to OsTown in the Wasteland for some fun'. It had no name." Torvald replied.

"Whoever wrote that must have Chip. But who?" Jubileena asked.

"We'll find out when we get there." Taffyta replied.

As they passed by Mickeyjunk Mountain and approached the Gag Factory, they suddenly heard the sound of laughter. They followed it and entered OsTown to find a large bubbling pool that had been built recently, though work was still being done to it in order to work out unknown problems. They looked up to see Chip Chocolatte on top of a high dive, with another boy behind him. The boy had orange and brown striped hair, olive skin, and brown eyes, and he wore a white shirt, a red sleeveless jacket, red pants, a red cap, and orange shoes, along with thick red wristbands that hid a weapon storage device that was a watch called BYTE. He also had on an odd pair of sunglasses. The right lens was black with a white middle and a red border, while the left lens was orange tinted. The boy closed in on Chip with a sinister smile.

"Prepare to face your watery doom!" the boy said.

He then immediately shoved Chip off the diving board, and the brown haired boy began to plummet towards the water.

"Chip!" Minty cried.

She jumped into the water, which only went up to her chest, and rushed over to where Chip was heading. Minty dove onto her stomach with her arms held above her body and slid through the water, coming to a stop as Chip landed in her arms. Chip stumbled out of her grip and got out of the water. The rest of the group jumped into the water and ran up to Minty to check on her.

"Minty, that was amazing!" Swizzle said, looking impressed.

"You really went for it!" Citrusella added.

Candlehead hugged Minty.

"I was so worried, but I knew you would come out on top." Candlehead said.

"You saved Chip, Minty. I'm very proud." Vanellope said with a smile. She then frowned and said "Now let's teach that other boy a lesson.".

Suddenly, they heard more laughter, and turned to see Chip playing in the water, splashing the other boy, who was playfully splashing back. Crumbelina walked over to them.

"What are you boys doing?" Crumbelina asked.

"What does it look like we're doing? Chip and I are going for a swim." the boy replied, a bit annoyed.

"But didn't you kidnap Chip?" Candi asked, looking confused to see that there was no real danger.

"Yeah. You were going to try and destroy him." Candlehead added, looking just as surprised as the tan skinned girl.

"Oh nonsense. I just invited him for a swim in the new Wasteland Hot Tub." the boy explained.

"A hot tub?" Nougetsia asked.

She looked down to see that she was still standing in the hot bubbling water.

"Of course. It's the place where all Toons come to relax and rejuvenate, and since I, Armand Dangerous, am trying to be a better person, I figured why not invite my new friend I just met for a relaxing soak." the boy replied.

Candlehead looked around the hot tub.

"Well, now that you mention it, this water does feel nice." Candlehead said. She then sat down in the water and said "Ahh... real nice.".

Sticky turned back to Armand.

"But your not up to anything else, are you?" Sticky asked suspiciously.

"Of course not. We all need a break every now and then." Armand replied. He then stepped out of the water, grabbed a towel, and said "Well, I'd love to stay, but my time in the hot water is up. Feel free to stay and enjoy yourselves.".

He then left, with Chip leaving afterwards to go back to Sugar Rush. Once the group was alone, Toxika spoke up.

"Well, since Chip is safe, and that kid wasn't doing anything evil, AND we're in this warm relaxing hot spring, why don't we enjoy ourselves?" Toxika asked.

"I don't know. We should be heading back." Vanellope replied, sounding unsure.

Candlehead floated atop the water on her back.

"Oh, come on, guys. This feels so wonderful." Candlehead said.

Gloyd sat against the wall of the tub.

"I think your right, Candlehead." Gloyd said.

With a relaxing sigh, the Pumpkin themed boy put his arms behind his head and closed his eyes as he soaked in the tub. Candace was already sinking down to her neck in the water.

"I'm way ahead of you, guys." Candace said.

"But what if it has venomous substances or..." Adorabeezle started to ask.

She was suddenly pushed into the water by Taffyta.

"Stop being such a spoil sport and just enjoy yourself for once." Taffyta ordered playfully.

Adorabeezle sat in the hot tub, completely soaked and unamused.

"I'm really mad at you, Muttonfudge... or, I would be if this water didn't feel so relaxing." Adorabeezle said.

She quickly gave in and leaned again the edge of the tub, relaxing. As Candi soaked in the hot tub with her mother, husband, and friends, she turned to Crumbelina.

"Hey, Mom? How come Toontown doesn't have something like this, since Wasteland is basically like an alternate version of it and Disneyland?" Candi asked.

"Well, from what I heard from Mickey, it used to. But they got rid of it for some reason." Crumbelina replied.

Rancis sat up from the water.

"Anyway, it's nice to finally get a break now. We should do this again sometime." Rancis said.

"Agreed." the rest of the group said in unison.

They continued soaking in the hot tub for another hour before they decided it was time to leave.

"Location: Litwak's Arcade, The World Of Disney, September 29th 2110"

Later on, night fell and everyone in the arcade turned in for the night. In Adorabeezle and Nougetsia's house in the Ice Cream Mountains, Adorabeezle was lying in her bed, having some interesting thoughts suddenly running through her mind while she slept.

"My intellect... surpasses everyone." Adorabeezle mumbled in her sleep.

"Location: Richmond, Virginia, September 29th 2110"

In the castle in Richmond, while Candi and Gloyd both slept, Candi turned in her bed while she yawned with a smile.

"I want... everything." Candi mumbled.

"Location: Litwak's Arcade, The World Of Disney, September 29th 2110"

In Jubileena and Swizzle's house in Cherry Grove, Swizzle grinned in his sleep.

"The strongest being in the world." Swizzle muttered.

In Candlehead and Kandle's house, Candlehead licked her lips while she snoozed.

"Cupcakes are so... delicious." Candlehead mumbled.
