I was going to post it long time before but I got some writers block and distracted with some other histories, but now I'm in with the first chapter of it and great expectations for the future of the series First part of a two parts history, this first one is about Vanellope's plan to have her and Ralph back to their original 'most important people in each other's life' stats, but things get out of control letting Ralph to take care of a baby Vanellope for a whole week and this week will lead to the most important decision to both and Lily. The second one, in this middle way, Lily make her own plans to help her sister, and look for help inside the Heart Tower, heart og Sugar Rush, but when a new character is accidentally unlocked, the tree will have to make a new choice in name of their new family. I will not tell more to not spoil the surprises.
Another day of games has been finished in Litwalk's and the kids in Sugar Rush Speedway were preparing themselves for the Rooster Race before they were finally free to go where they needed too.
Vanellope Von Schweetz, president from Sugar Rush, just checked if it was everything all right.
She smiled at Jay-Jay Cotton Candy, the only racer, alongside with his sister, to have fire-red hair, not matching with his theme, five fingers and a appearance mostly human than a real chubby, it was because Jay-Jay, in fact James Grace Jackson, adopted Fix-It, aren't a programmed Sugar Rush racer. He and his twin sister were unoffcials who had their parents and games unplugged by a virus and were adopted as part of the racing game.
But the fact of Vanellope smile to him in particular, and he return the smile, was Vanellope had a secret crush on him, her little hero.
And talking about heros, where was her biggest hero? He promised he wa going to come to see the race today because it was a special day. Had been exactly four months since he had saved her from being a glitch, saved whole Sugar Rush from Turbo... Four months he has been her hero and best friend. All right that was Clarion's idea, but he just promised her he would come.
The president finally spotted a group of people coming towards the start line.
The red-haired little girl in lead of the group certainly was Clarion Grace Jackson Fix-It, James' twin sister.
Clarion was normally part of Sugar Rush too as Pammy Cotton Candy, but today had been the first day of her new, temporary job.
Besides her were the reason of this change. The couple Felix and Tamora Fix-It, the twins' adoptive parents. All right, that wasn't a reason, the true reason was Tamora was pregnant and Clarion was covering her place as sergeant in Hero's Duty to keep players' curiosity from cause problems.
How it was even possible? Looking at the two you could see they were too different to pass by each other. Clarion was about half of her mother's height, had red average hair while Tamora's was blonde and short and their eyes had different shades of blue.
But being an unofficial, Clarion had something normal characters hadn't. Unofficial's codes were created at their mother's game, but wasn't connected to it. When the two were born, their codes were hidden into jewels they carried around their necks as medallions, giving them the power to change it without any problem.
Talking with them was Roxane, formerly character from Labyrinth of the Nightmares. Her game had been unpugged for be freaking players, all because the bad guy of the game got off control with her nightmares, both illusions and creatures. She and her partner, Tatian, were now living at the game Fix-It Felix Jr.
And behind them, relaxed and with a playful smile like aways, was Jack Willian Calhoun, Tamora's young brother. He had come to the Arcade in a Hero's Duty update, just one week ago and it was hard to say who was worst in the jokes, him, Clarion or Gloyd.
But there wasn't any sign of Fix-It Felix Jr.'s giant bad guy, Wreck-It Ralph. The person who Vanellope was so anxiously waiting for.
Lily Von Schweetz, Vanellope's young sister, the only seven years old racer in Sugar Rush, jumped next to her.
"Hey Vannie, where's Ralph?" She asked happily.
"What about we go and ask Clar? She should know. She know everything."
The two hurried to Clarion.
"Clar, were's Ralph?" Vanellope asked hopefully he was just a little late.
"Sorry Vannie, he asked us to tell you that he's really sorry, but when he promised you he was going to be here he had just forgotten he had a much more important thing to do today, that he's really sorry and will try to compensate you late."
Vanellope couldn't believe, he had forgotten her. What could he do more important than pass a time with his best friend?
But so she noticed a second person was missing. Dianna wasn't there too.
"Wand what happened with Dianna?"
"Well, she also had something most important to do today and couldn't cancel." Clarion hurried to reply, but Vanellope noticed the slight red in the girl's cheeks when she rolled her eyes and walked away.
"Hey Sarge!" Vanellope called. "Glad to see you could come." She smiled. After Ralph, Calhoun was the closest friend she had.
"Ready to the race little cavity?" Tamora joked, messing the girl's hair.
"No. I'm worried about Ralph. I'm afraid this 'important things' of him can be something bad."
"No, it isn't. Except, maybe any accident that can come up. You know how Wreck-It is."
"Something that can go wrong on what exactly?"
"Grown up stuff kid, probably you will find out soon."
"Clarion is just ten." Vanellope protested, crossing her arms.
"Yeah, but you know no one can hide anything from fire-head there."
It was true. Clarion was ever the one who knew everything and always the first to know.
Vanellope sighed and walked to her presidential stand to give start to the race.
A time after the race, Vanellope walked out of Sugar Rush and let herself sat down on a bench at GCS. Everyone had already back to what else they had to do and she was left with the other racers, but in fact she wasn't in a good mood to be around them.
One thing she couldn't understand. She lived on her own for fifteen years, since when she was so depending on people?
So she felt someone else near and looked up at a smiling Clarion.
So she realized the answer to her question. Clarion had also lived by her own six years, but after she came back to the Arcade she had slowly turned into another person, she began to live with the Fix-It's and was now almost a normal girl, who depending more on her parents, being more nice, sincere, helping... Both had changed a lot after find someone who really cares for them.
"May I sit down?" The redhead asked.
"Right." Vanellope replied sweetly.
"What's bothering you? It's about Ralph?" Vanellope nodded. "Look Vannie, it happen, you should know, and you may think it's bad to you, but it isn't a really bad thing. In fact, it's the most wonderful thing that can happen and..."
"I could understand it if at least I knew what are you talking about." Vanellope interrupted her.
Clarion just pointed far away with a sigh. Vanellope looked the direction and what she saw made her mouth drop open.
There were Ralph and Dianna, but it wasn't a really strange thing, except for the fact Ralph was dressed with the suit he had just used and Felix and Calhoun's wedding, and Dianna dressed in a long, black, low-cut dress, different from anything that was her usual. They were just heading back to Fix-It Felix Jr. and Vanellope couldn't say where they had been, but both had big smiles and Ralph had a hand around Dianna's waist.
Clarion elbowed Vanellope, while trying to hold herself to not laugh at her friend's shocked expression.
Vanellope just couldn't believe what she was seeing. So it was Ralph's 'to busy'?
In fact she thought she should be happy for her friend, but how could her, when it just put her at risk of being alone again? Besides Ralph, the only person she really had everytime was James, but she knew how James was even busy and just tried to hide it when she was around.
Vanellope was going to get out of here but was too late. Ralph had already spotted the two little girls, he gave Dianna a quick but passionate kiss as saying goodbye and walked to them.
"Hi girls!" He greeted with a big smile.
"Hello Ralphie!" Clarion grinned at him. "I suppose all went well this night." He couldn't help but brought up the subject.
"It couldn't be better. But seems someone isn't having a good day. What's up with you kid?" He asked Vanellope, a little worried as he noticed she was too quite.
"I'm fine Ralph, just a bit distracted." She faintly smiled, doing her best to keep it and look up at him. "Hi to you too."
But her smile faded out and she looked away. Clarion shook her head.
"She is a little mad because of the race." The redhead giggled. "Even Lily handled it better than her."
"Oh, shut up." Vanellope rolled her eyes and tried to put up another smile. "Nothing about it Stinkbrain, Clar is just being... Well, her." This time was the redhead who rolled her eyes. "But look, James asked me to check up a think and I'm on time." Vanellope jumped up. "See you later guys!"
And with that she ran through GCS towards the game Fix-It Felix Jr.
It was a lie of course, James was going to get a great surprise when she appear there, but she needed some advice from someone a little more easy to understand than Clarion, and depending on the option she would pick to handle that situation, James and his inventions were the perfect match to help her.
"Ralph, why you didn't tell her?" Clarion asked.
"Look kid, it's more complicate here, not sure if it's..."
"You think so much Ralph. But,considering the actual circumstances, I really don't know what to do. Wait a little more can be good or, by other hand, it can be bad. Lily can wait, but I'm not sure about Vanellope."
"All right Miss Know-It-All, I will talk with Dianna and tell here still today. You're always right anyway."
