Wreck-It Ralph: A Wreckin' Christmas

Part 2: A Three Game Project

After the tree decorating was finishing up, Ralph and the rest of his friends hopped the nearest cart and headed back for Fix-It Felix Jr. As the carriage passed down the wire and into the game, Ralph is seen tightly seated in the front with Vanellope in his lap and Calhoun seated in back with Felix.

"Uhh...yeah. Heh. Sorry about the "close quarter" ride everyone. I swear these things were NOT made my size." Ralph said. Vanellope hopped out as Ralph pulled himself free. As they walked towards the Nicelanders Apartment, Ralph noticed Vanellope was gone. He turned to see her looking on at Ralph's crudely made house in the brick pile and snickered.

"Vanellope!" Ralph groaned. She turned to Ralph, still laughing, and wiped her eye.

"Sorry Ralph! I still find it so hilarious how stupid your house looks!" Vanellope laughed. Ralph groaned and picked her up by her shirt.

"Yeah? Well YOUR place isn't exactly "picture perfect" either. So zip it." Ralph muttered. Placing her on his shoulder, Ralph hurried to catch up with the others. But as he did, he suddenly felt a cold sensation rushing up his spine. Ralph looked down and saw the ground around him was covered in snow.

"Snow? Dah! I forgot. I HATE snow." Ralph said. Vanellope leaped off his shoulder and into the snow. She then glanced around at the entire game being covered by snow and more flakes were coming down from way above screen. She put her hand out and watched as it fell into her hand.

"Uhhh...Ralph? Felix? I think your game is glitched or something! There's some kind of...dandruff like stuff falling from the ceiling." Vanellope said. Felix stopped and looked up, lightly chuckling.

"No little lady. That's snow. The owner does this around the holidays. He feeds a special coding into the system that makes it seem like its snowing while the kiddies play our games. Its something nice that good ol' Litwak himself does for us game characters." Felix explained. Ralph groaned, trying to keep his big bare feet out of the snow.

"Yeah? Well, did he ever plan it to be this COLD?" Ralph asked, hopping around. Just then, a lone snowball was thrown at him. It hit him dead in the chest. Ralph stopped and slowly looked ahead to see Vanellope holding a snowball in her hands.

"Uh-oh." Vanellope muttered. While everyone was hoping for Ralph to explode, a big grin came on his face instead. He quickly squatted down and made the biggest snowball he could with his hands. Vanellope, in shock, dropped her snowball.

"Oh ho ho! You shouldn't have done that you little nutcracker! I may not like snow, but I AM this arcade's "biggest snowball" champion! Prepare to be buried!" Ralph exclaimed. The two started to run around the building as Ralph comically chased behind Vanellope, watching her laughing.

"Come here ya little...!" Ralph exclaimed. Vanellope laughed.

"You're gonna have to catch me first flat foot!" Vanellope exclaimed with a laugh. As they chased each other around the building, Felix couldn't help but chuckle.

"And what's got you so happy?" Calhoun asked. Felix sighed and looked over at Ralph, rounding the corner.

"Well, its just really good to see ol' Ralph has a friend like our little Vanellope. At first, nobody in our game liked him simply because he was the "bad guy". But Vanellope got to see Ralph the same way I have, a big hearted giant who only acts big and mean when he's doing his job." Felix said "I guess...I'm grateful that Ralph and Vanellope met." Just then, Ralph tripped on his own two feet and threw the giant snowball in the air. Everyone watched as it soared up and then came plopping down over them, lightly coating them in snow.

.: WRECK-IT RALPH :.

Afterwards, Ralph and his friends sat together in the Nicelanders Apartment lobby to plan out what they were going to do for this year's holiday.

"Okey dokey. Since I'm going to be this year's host, I'm thinking of "old classic" kind of Christmas. You know? The way things used to be before the newer stuff came in." Ralph said. Felix nodded, writing things down on a clipboard.

"Just remember. You don't have a lot of time to get things ready. We have until tonight." Calhoun explained. Felix added that was why they had the Christmas tree gathering so early, to give whoever the winner of the contest was enough time.

"Now...what to do about decorations. I'm not exactly the best at "making" as I am "wrecking"." Ralph said, looking at his hands. Vanellope, seated on the couch, lightly swayed her feet before an idea hit her.

"Hey. I know! We can make decorations out of the Make-A-Cart station in my game! We can make whatever we want and bring it here!" Vanellope exclaimed. Ralph, remembering their time making her cart, snapped his fingers.

"Yes! That's brilliant! And...And...And...I'm sure Felix and I can make like a...a...dagh! Felix? What do they call that thing? That...That...eh. Whatever. I'll tell you later." Ralph said, getting Felix partially excited. He then turned to Calhoun, asking how great she was at cooking. Calhoun looked on with a shocked glare.

"Wh-What do you take me for you lumbering oaf?! Some kind of master chef?! I'm a commander in my own game! Not your personal cook!" Calhoun shouted. Ralph lightly gulped, backing away while lightly shaking his hands.

"Ehhh...I...I was just gonna ask if you and Felix could help out with cooking treats and such for the guests?" Ralph asked nervously. Calhoun quietly crossed her arms and looked firmly at Ralph, putting everyone on edge, before she shrugged.

"Fine. Whatever." she said, shaking her head afterwards. Everyone else nervously chuckled as Ralph and Vanellope turned to one another.

"Okay then. C'mon squirt. While they're working on their cooking, we've got some decorations to make. Let's hop the next train back to Sugar Rush." Ralph said. Vanellope nodded and followed Ralph outside before she jumped back on his shoulder. As the two were rushing off outside, Ralph heard someone's voice calling out. He stopped and looked to see Q*bert.

"Huh? Oh hey Q*bert. I didn't know if you got back from the tree decorating party. What's up?" Ralph asked. Q*bert began to speak, but nothing he could say made any kind of sense.

"H-Huh? What's that Q*bert? I...I don't understand." Ralph asked. Vanellope hopped off Ralph's shoulder and watched Q*bert's word bubbles as he spoke again.

"Uh huh. Oh. Okay. I think he's asking how it feels to be the "winner" this year?" Vanellope asked. But instead of answering, Ralph looked confusingly at Vanellope, who lightly began to blush.

"What?! Felix's been teaching me Q*bert so we could chat. D-Don't look at me that way!" Vanellope exclaimed. Q*bert continued to talk, catching Vanellope's attention.

"Oh. He's asking if we'd like some help from him." Vanellope said. Ralph glanced at Q*bert and lightly shrugged.

"Fine with me. What about you squirt?" Ralph asked. Vanellope glanced at Q*bert and shrugged.

"Well, I don't know if he'd be able to help out in Sugar Rush. Maybe Felix and sargeant lady would like the help?" Vanellope asked. Ralph nodded, saying that sounded good. And with Vanellope's translation, Q*bert was happy to assist. Afterwards, the two were then off out of Fix-It Felix Jr. and on their way to Sugar Rush.

"So...what do you think we'll need to make?" Ralph asked. Vanellope chuckled.

"Reindeer! They are a definite around the holidays! Oh! And we'll need some candy canes for outside too!" Vanellope exclaimed. As they passed through Game Central Station, they saw more characters hard at work, finishing up the decorating. But as they went through, some of the other game characters would stop and congratulate Ralph.

"Way to go Ralphie! Can't wait for this year's Christmas Eve party!" Doctor Eggman called. Ralph also saw Chun-Li and Miles "Tails" Prower waving at him from afar.

"Hey there Ralph! How's things going? Need any help with the party planning?" Yuni Verse asked, catching Ralph for a moment. Ralph came to a stop and turned to her, lightly waving his hand.

"Who? Me? Nah! I've already got three of my "best" on it. In fact, we're just heading over to Sugar Rush to make a couple decorations." Ralph explained. They then continued on and hopped on the next line heading into Sugar Rush. Vanellope looked on with a smile as Ralph was himself. But then, he lightly glanced down at Vanellope.

"Man. The holidays are almost here. I know I'm supposed to be busy focusing on this party. But...I really want this to be special...since this is little Vanellope's first actual Christmas. From what she told me, everyone in Sugar Rush used to keep her out of their holiday cheer because she was still "The Glitch"." Ralph thought. He continued looking on at her as Vanellope adjusted her seat.

"Before Christmas comes, I gotta find something extra perfect for Vanellope. Not just because she's my friend...because she's the first person to see me as something more than just a "bad guy"." Ralph thought. He sighed as the line continued on up the plug cord and into Sugar Rush.
