Hours later the arcade closed, and game characters started to leave their games. Sonic was one of the first of course, same with a few of the oldest characters. Felix and Raeburn were stunned.
"Pong? PacMan?" Raeburn said. "They're still around?"
"Good, at least a few of our friends are here." Felix said with relief. "This'll make things easier. We'd best enter the station now."
"Right, maybe we can find a new home somewhere." Raeburn agreed.
They entered Game Central Station, and all the other game characters just stared at them. Most started whispering, but the oldest characters went over to Felix and Raeburn instead.
"Fix-It-Felix? Wreck-It-Raeburn?" Inky, one of the PacMan ghosts, said. "You guys are back?"
"Kinda, our game died for good but we managed to escape into Mr. Litwak's laptop long before it happened." Raeburn explained. "We're glad you guys are still here...but where's Clyde?"
"Clyde normally stays in our game to give bad-guys advice." Blinkie, another ghost, explained. "He started these Bad-Anon Meetings to help badguys cope with their situations years ago. About five years after you guys left the arcade actually...we thought you two were gone for good then."
"No, Atara was able to temporarily repair our game." Felix said. "We've been in Mr. Litwak's home this whole time."
"Really?" Pinky, the only female ghost, smiled. "What was it like?"
"Lot's of fun, Mr. Litwak and his family played us a few times." Raeburn smiled. "He kinda has a plain apartment when compared to the arcade, but it's not exactly shoddy or anything. It's just obvious that he puts most of his money into the arcade."
Felix then froze.
"What?" He ran around the ghosts.
The ghosts turned around too...
"Felix wait!" Inky called.
Too late, Felix was nearly out of earshot. Raeburn also saw what had caught Felix's interest.
"No way." He stared, running after Felix.
You see what they had seen was Felix Jr, who was on his way to meet his wife Tamora. Luann was going to be spending a bit of time with Reneult and Candiel while Felix and Tamora went on a double-date with Ralph and Vanellope. In fact Luann was already in Sugar Rush.
Felix Jr and Felix Sr nearly bumped into each other.
"Oh excuse me-" Felix Jr at first apologized politely only to freeze upon seeing who he almost bumped into.
Felix Jr and Felix Sr both stared at each other, but Felix Jr was really the one who was shocked. His mouth and eyes were wide open while Felix Sr's were only slightly open, relatively speaking. Felix Jr's eyes then rolled upward and he fainted. Felix Sr was concerned for Felix Jr, but was too shocked about his existence in general to act on it.
"Another Felix?" Raeburn said with confusion.
"I didn't know TobiKomi made a sequel..." Felix Sr was stunned.
Felix Sr knew Felix Jr wasn't another version of him because Felix Sr had dark brown hair and Felix Jr had golden brown hair. Plus Felix Jr wore mostly blue while Felix Sr wore green. Raeburn wore a typical yellow demolition outfit, complete with hard hat and tan boots.
"Felix!" Someone gasped from behind Felix Sr and Raeburn.
Startled, they turned around and saw a woman with short blonde hair and armor run over to them. Obviously Tamora, Felix Jr's wife, though Felix Sr and Raeburn didn't know that yet.
Tamora went over to Felix Jr's side and checked his heart. It was still beating much to her relief. She then noticed Felix Sr and Raeburn and looked shocked upon seeing them.
"Who are you?" She asked.
"Fix-It-Felix, and this is my friend Wreck-It-Raeburn." Felix Sr said. "We're from the game Fix-It-Felix, which had been in Mr. Litwak's house, but it died earlier today. We escaped in time and traveled here through Mr. Litwak's laptop. Who are you?"
"Sergeant Calhoun, from Hero's Duty-" Tamora froze when the names of the two familiar-looking guys fully hit her. "You must be Felix Sr."
"Sr?" Felix Sr said with confusion.
"Yes, you see this is Fix-It-Felix Jr from the game of the same name." Tamora explained. "Your son. And you must be Ralph's father...you kinda look like him and his full name is Wreck-It-Ralph. Plus he once said his father's name was Raeburn..."
"He's my son?" Felix Sr was stunned.
"I have a son?" Raeburn was probably more stunned.
"Apparently...come with me, I'd best get Felix Jr back into his game so that he can recover." Tamora got up, picking Felix Jr up and carrying him back towards his game.
Felix Sr and Raeburn followed, and as they entered the game they indeed saw that the name of it was Fix-It-Felix Jr. They then got onto the train - kinda tricky for Raeburn but he managed it - and headed further into the game. During the trip Felix Sr and Raeburn were still trying to get used to the information that they apparently had sons despite their not having met anyone in their old game. Of course this was because they had been the only ones in their old game, but that just made it more confusing. They couldn't help but wonder how they came to have sons, after all in order to have kids there has to be a mom...so who did they fall in love with? What were their wives like?
Tamora was wondering something too: when Felix Jr was shocked upon first finding out that he was going to be a father he 'died' from the shock. So why hadn't he died from shock again? Eventually Tamora decided that Felix Jr had just fainted before the shock could entirely affect him.
After they stopped at the station Tamora got out still carrying Felix Jr. Felix Sr and Raeburn got out too.
"Wait here, I want to talk to the citizens here before they see you." Tamora said.
Felix Sr and Raeburn nodded. They watched Tamora disappear behind a row of small apartments.
Tamora headed for the main building, where she saw Gene and Mary talking outside.
"Felix!" Mary gasped, having just noticed them.
She, Gene, and a few other Nicelanders that had been in earshot, went over to Tamora and Felix Jr. Ralph, who had just left his house due to having been taking a shower, saw the commotion and went over too.
"Is he okay?" Gene asked.
"He's fine, he just fainted back in Game Central Station." Tamora explained.
"Fainted from what?" Ralph asked.
"Well..." Truthfully that was another thing that Tamora had been wondering: why did Felix Jr faint upon seeing Felix Sr? "I'm not entirely sure but..." She then sighed. "What do any of you know about Felix Sr?"
"Felix's father?" Roy, one of the Nicelanders, said. "Well, we do know that Felix and his father were extremely close...and that Felix Sr died from cancer back when Felix was a teenager. He still hasn't gotten over it."
"That explains it..." Tamora said almost to herself before turning back to the Nicelanders. "Ralph told me about his father Raeburn but when I asked about Felix's father Ralph just said that it wasn't his place to tell and that Felix would tell me when he was ready. Felix never did which always confused me before...but now I know why."
"Yeah, since dad had died because of a demolition accident I was able to get over his death easier." Ralph nodded. "After all he had warned me ahead of time that demolition was a dangerous job. Felix on the other hand...when his dad got cancer it was really sudden. And for a moment it looked as if he was going to pull through..."
"But he didn't." Tamora said sympathetically.
"It nearly broke Felix's heart." Mary added sadly.
"But...what does this have to do with Felix fainting?" Gene asked.
"Because...did any of you know that there was an original Fix-It-Felix?" Tamora asked.
"Not officially, but we assumed so." Don said. "After all this game was called Fix-It-Felix Jr for a reason."
"Well, apparently Mr. Litwak owned one of those games back home and it just died earlier today." Tamora explained. "But...Felix Sr and Raeburn were able to escape in time and..."
Ralph and the Nicelanders looked shocked.
"They're here?" Ralph said.
"Yes, they traveled here through Mr. Litwak's laptop." Tamora nodded. "They're waiting back at the train station."
"Excuse me." Ralph left, actually looking happy.
