Chapter 2: Closing Time
Tamora's P.O.V
"Alright ladies, excellent work on defeating the enemy. Now rest up for tomorrow another practice session and if you are late I will kill you before you had time to realize you regenerated!" I barked. The men all saluted me as they exchanged fearful expressions on their faces. They all knew I didn't make threats, I made guarantees. Soon they all shuffled out of their armor as I headed to my office to change. I really didn't want to do another drill practice but I knew it would be beneficial. Still if anyone dared ask want I wanted to do tomorrow it would be hanging out with Felix in Sugar Rush or his game. Talking and kissing him all day. That little guy is the best thing that ever happened to me. Of course he argues by saying I am the best thing that ever happened to him. We actually had a ten minute disagreement over that till I kissed him and we both agreed that we were both the best thing to happen to one another. It was quite a funny thing.
Getting my civilian clothes on I headed out of my game to go see Felix and maybe have a family night. See if Wreck-it and the kid will want to hang out. Even ask Faye if she wants to come. Ever since she defeated Anthony Faye had become aloof, for she wanted to take her job as the Angel of Justice seriously but came out to see if we all were okay. During that time Turbo asked us if Faye was alright and I know he has changed but I still can't believe I would be friends with a person that tried to kill a little girl he made into a glitch but also tried to destroy an entire game. In all honesty if Faye wasn't there that day Turbo resurfaced I don't think he would have changed. Yet for her sake I am glad he did.
Vanellope's P.O.V
"Alright racers great work, now enjoy the rest of the night off," I said putting my cart up. The other racers zoomed on home except for Turbo.
"Good job with the race Jr.," he said nicely. It still was weird to seem him being nice but I thank Faye for that. She was Turbo's motivation to stay good.
"Thanks you too," I said heading out to the game.
"Are you going to see Ralph and Felix?" he asked cautiously.
"Yeah and the Sarge," I replied.
"Maybe Faye might be there?" he wondered.
"Could be, she does like to show up once in a while," I told him. I knew he missed her, heck we all did. Faye was a good friend but after her true part in her game was revealed she took it seriously. She stayed in her game practicing her sword attacks, racing around to get faster, and burning what she could with her fire powers. Being the Angel of Justice must be hard but Faye wanted to do the job right. She would come out of her game if one asked like I did a week ago, when I had a big race and she came by to cheer me and Turbo on.
"May I come with you, it would be nice to see my little girl again," Turbo said.
"Yeah sure, Turbo come on," I said and we walked out of Sugar Rush together.
Ralph's P.O.V
"Okay Felix it is closing time. So, what plans do you have today?" I asked wiping the mud from my shirt.
"Oh I was thinking of a quiet dinner with Tammy. She really enjoys it for her game is tough I mean those Cy-Bugs are horrible," he said jumping down.
"Yeah I was thinking of going to Sugar Rush and hanging out with Vanellope," I said stretching my arms.
"Did she win another race? I really didn't get a chance to get a decent look," Felix asked.
"Actually Turbo won I believe but it was a close race," I said. Saying that sentence really was weird. Who would have thought the same guy who tried to kill me one year ago, within a few months I would consider a friend. Life is funny I guess. "Well I am going to go grab the kid see ya Felix," I said waving.
"Bye brother I am going to pick up Tamora," Felix said. I nodded and headed to the exit when I saw Calhoun and Vanellope along with Turbo coming up to me.
"Hey Stink Brain!" Vanellope cheered glitching onto my back.
"Hey kid, Calhoun, and Turbo," I greeted.
"Hey Wreck-it where is Felix?" Calhoun asked me.
"Over by the pent house he is getting ready to pick you up," I told her.
"Good you three come with me, I have a plan for tonight," she told me.
"Sarge wants to have a family night," Vanellope explained happily.
"I just hope Faye will be here," Turbo mumbled to himself. We all walked back to Felix who smiled when he saw Calhoun.
Felix's P.O.V
"Tammy, I was about to come get you," I said kissing her cheek.
"Hey short stack any plans tonight?" she asked me.
"I was thinking of a quiet dinner," I told her.
"I have a better idea, let's have a family night. We hardly get to spend any time together. Let's have you, me, Wreck-it, Vanellope, Turbo, Faye and her cats have a family night. Maybe invite that Michael guy Faye likes. You boys cook the food and Vanellope and I will go get Faye," she told me.
"Okay sounds good we can play games and stuff it will be fun. Ralph, Turbo come on to my house we have a dinner to cook. The girls are going to get Faye," I called. Turbo's face lit up as he walked over with Ralph behind him. "Honey you are a genius," I whispered.
"Just save some of that fun for later tonight," she told me seductively. Before she left she grabbed me by the front of my shirt and kissed me passionately. My legs kicked in midair as my heart was beating rapidly. When she let go the honey glows were all over my face.
"Yes ma'am," I said sheepishly. She laughed and put me down then left with Vanellope to go get Faye and her cats.
Faye's P.O.V
After the game I stretched my aching muscles. "Good job Faye, want to come with me to the Angels hangout and chill before tomorrow?" Michael asked me. Before I could answer I heard a familiar voice calling my name. Vanellope appeared out of nowhere and hugged me.
"Vanellope what are you doing here? You know my game is too dangerous to have visitors," I told her.
"At ease soldier I will protect her," Tamora said walking up to us.
"Hey Tamora good to see you it has been a while," I said hugging her.
"We are inviting you to a family night at Felix's game," Vanellope told me.
"That sounds like fun okay I do miss everyone," I said smiling.
"Well I see you are in good hands I will talk to you later Faye, be safe," Michael called.
"You are invited to Feather Head," Vanellope giggled.
"Really?" Michael asked them.
"Affirmative soldier, we do count you as family so, let's go," Tamora told us.
"Cool come on Faye," he said smiling. We walked out of my game as I rubbed my eyes.
"You look tired," Tamora noted looking at me.
"Just having trouble sleeping," I told her. Flame and Ash exchanged worried looks for they remembered what happened this morning. Yet, they didn't say anything.
"What seems to be the trouble?" Tamora asked.
"Oh nothing just nightmares, I can handle nightmares," I assured her. She nodded and we headed to Felix's game. After the day I had it would be nice to be around family.
Normal P.O.V
After the arcade closed most people were either heading home or on their way to Tappers for a drink. Two men from Heroes Duty began walking back to their game. Of course they had too many drinks and were a tad drunk. "I think we are going the wrong way?" said a soldier named Adam.
"No ep, this right way," a soldier named Kevin assured trying to stay balanced.
"I don't hic remember the hall hic being so dark," said Adam who was hiccupping from the alcohol. It was true that had wandered to the darkest part of Game Central Station. It was the oldest part of the arcade. Games that used to exist that were unplugged a long time ago. The area looked deserted with only black rooms of past games. The two men were stumbling trying to remember which way to go when something caught their attention.
A young woman a year younger than them with high definition was smiling at them. Her hair was long and black with curls. They saw her skin was a honey color and smooth like glass with a figure to die for. She wore a tight black dress and her eyes were mesmerizing for they were ice blue. "Do you see that?" asked Kevin sobering up a bit.
"Yeah," Adam said grinning happily. The woman smiled at them and extended a finger at them beckoning them to her.
"She wants us to come over," Kevin said happily grinning now.
"Yeah, let's go see what she wants," Adam said walking to the woman. The woman began to walk towards a dark room where an unplugged game was at. "We are coming baby," Adam said getting closer to the woman.
"Maybe she wants company?" Kevin thought walking closer. They went into the dark room and searched for the woman. "Where are you honey, come out we won't bite," Kevin said.
"Yeah we promise to be gentle," Adam assured her. Just as they were in the center they saw something. A pair of white eyes stared at them.
"Welcome to my nightmare," said an ice cold voice. Then the men shrieked out in terror as two sharp fangs bit into them making their world go black.
