It was a bright and beautiful day in a sweet and cheerful game called Sugar Rush. Sugar Rush was a racing game imported from Japan where young chibi avatar children would race against each over for a trophy. When the arcade was closed, the citizens would get up and do whatever they please. One of the game characters was a young boy named Rancis Fluggerbutter. Rancis was inside of his comfy home, just doing his daily chores. Now, Rancis was a boy who wanted to look his best. Other people thinks he's vain, due to the fact that he is never seen without glancing at himself in the mirror, and the fact that he acts vain and arrogant, but he's more than what he seems to be. Rancis stopped wiping a mirror and stared at his reflection, sighing a bit.

"Why were you programmed so handsome, Rancis?" he asked his reflection.

Shaking his head he headed to the door and walked out, when he saw Gloyd and Swizzle in front of him. "Hey, dude!" Swizzle exclaimed, saluting him. "So, we were wondering if you wanted to hang out with us!" Rancis raised an eyebrow at them and crossed his arms. "Oh really? Where are we going this time? Tapper's?" he snapped, turning his back to then. This wasn't the first time they said they wanted to "hang out." It usually means they want to hook Rancis up with a girl he has no interest with. The last time they said they wanted to hang out, he ended up getting laughed at by Taffyta. He really didn't want to go back.

"C'mon dude! It's not that bad this time! You'll like it, I promise," Gloyd assured him.

Rancis rolled his eyes and looked at them. "Who'd you set me up with?" he demanded, getting a broom and dusting the floor. Gloyd and Swizzle glanced at each other and smiled nervously at him. "…Candlehead." they answered.

"No," he replied, not even looking at them. "There is no way I'm ruining the friendship I have with Candlehead because of you two. I'm not doing it."

"Dude-"

"I said no!" he yelled. Rancis sighed and turned back to his brooming. "Don't you guys have dates or something?" he said. Gloyd shook his head and walked out, Swizzle in tow, closing the door behind. Rancis shook his head and leaned against the broom.

'They don't understand," he mumbled. "I don't need someone to hook me up. I'll find true love," he looked behind him and walked towards the open window, leaning out and stared at the sky. "And when I find her, she'll be my princess."

Not far from Rancis' home was the castle, where a ruler was making his way home. Yes, it was the one and only King Candy, along with his two security guards Wynnchel and Duncan. He was coming home after running some errands, and was returning home to speak to his little girl. In his hands was a small teddy bear that was the color or cotton candy with a matching bow around its neck. He entered his sweet sanctuary, only to be greeted by his advisor Sour Bill.

"Sour Bill, where is my little princess?"

"She's in her room, sire," he answered.

The king thanked him and went up the stairs to her room. Once reaching her door, the king was about to knock, when he heard a sweet singing voice. Smiling, he put his ear and listened as the voice continued singing euphoniously.

SUGAR RUSH!

King Candy silently chuckled and knocked on the door. "Come in," a girl's voice called out. Thr monarch opened to door to see none other than his young nine-year-old daughter, Princess Vanellope. Vanellope was staring out her room window, the soft wind blowing on her hair. She turned around and smiled brightly at her father. "Dad, you're home!" she exclaimed, rushing to her father to greet him with a hug. The king smiled and picked up his daughter, kissing her cheek.

"Have you been a behaved princess?" he asked her, walking into her room and closing the door behind him with his foot

She nodded and jumped out of his grasp, looking excited. "Yes, father," she teased. "But since you're here now, now can we play?" she begged. "Please, dad. you promised."

King Candy smiled uneasily, then picked up his daughter and sat her down on her bed. "Vanellope, there is something I need to speak to. It's very important," he started, handing her the teddy bear he got her. Vanellope stared at her father, confused. "Well, what is it?" she asked, sounding upset. The king smiled and sat next to his daughter.

"Do you remember when you were younger I would read you all those princess stories, like Cinderella, Ariel and Belle?" he asked. "Well, I think it's time for you to find your prince."

"Dad, this is the third time you spoke about this. Frankly, I don't think I can talk about it right now," she said sternly. "Besides, I'm too young to get married."

"I'm not suggesting for you to get married, sweetheart. I'm suggesting you think about finding true love. Every young man who came here-"

"Were selfish, rude, inconsiderate, and brash. You honestly think I'm going to fall in love with anyone like that?" she demanded, getting up from the bed. "Don't I get a saying in this?"

"Vanellope, you are a princess! And you must do what every princess has done: fall in love!"

"But I don't want to date a prince!" she argued. "I want to fall in love with someone who loves me for who I am, ne because I wear some tiara. Every boy in this arcade who stopped by this castle only asked if I was an actual princess! They didn't even ask me what were my hobbies, or interests, or even what my own personality was like! They only came here just because I'm the daughter of a king!" she turned around and sat on a chair, hiding her face in her hands. King Candy knew she was crying, since she was sobbing, and leaned down. He pulled away her hands and stared into her watery hazel eyes.

"Listen to me, my little cupcake. Please, just promise me one thing."

"What's that?"

"Promise me that you'll at least make an effort to understand true love. Please?"

"Dad-"

"Please, Vanellope. At least try."

She sighed and stared at her shoes. Finally, she weakly smiled at her father. "I guess I can try to get along with other-but only because you're my dad and I love you," she replied "I'm not promising anything!" King Candy smiled and kissed her forehead, brushing her hair gently. "That's all I ask of you, sweetheart." He got up and walked towards the door, when he looked back. "Are you joining us for dinner?" he asked. "I'll be down in a minute, dad," she replied. "I just want to clear my head a bit."

King Candy nodded and walked out, leaving the young princess alone. She slowly looked up and made her way to the window, the wind softly blowing back her bangs. Closing her eyes, she whispered," If I do find true love, he'll be a guy who'll love me for me. A guy sweet, caring, protective, a bit shy, and really handsome. That's my dream prince." She listed out, plopping on her bed. "As if there's actually a guy like that here." But the young princess didn't know that she was going to meet someone who felt the same way. She had no clue that her life was about to change.
