1- I've Got To Go

Vanelope looked at King Candy, tears forming in her eyes. "You've got to let me race!" she cried.

"No!" the King yelled. "Glitches cannot race! You are not allowed to race!"

"Glitch!" Taffyta yelled gleefully. "Glitch!" The others began to yell too, until the stands were all screaming.

"GLITCH!" they cried. Vanelope burst into tears and turned to run away, glitching as she went. She could hear the laughs and yells of the others after her.

I've got- to get- away, she thought, Somewhere they'll never find me!

She found herself heading towards the rainbow bridge. Pushing her hair out of her face and wiping her eyes, she headed onwards. She was leaving. She couldn't stay here.

Parting is such sweet sorrow, read the sign above her. Yeah, right, Vanelope thought, and raced past it towards Game Central Station.

When reaching the start of the tunnel, she turned to look over Sugar Rush. She felt a pang in her heart; this game was her home. She didn't know anything else beside its sweet-covered ranges. Then, she turned, and took a step.

Instantly she was thrown backwards by a blue barrier. Hesitantly she climbed to her feet and tried again. And again. And again. But it was no use; she was thrown backwards by the barrier. She turned back towards the game and screamed; she was trapped. Beacuse Glitches couldn't leave their games. And that's all she was; a Glitch.

She burst into tears and sank to the floor. It wasn't fair. The sound of music reached her ears, and the familiar tune annoyed her. S-U-G...

"Shut up!" she screamed. "I hate you! I hate this game!"

And yet she knew that she'd never escape. Vanelope was trapped in a place that hated her.

Life was at an all-time low.
