That night, Vanellope went to visit her best friend in his game. "Hey, Stinkbrain," she said, arriving at the station.
"Hey, Boogernose," Ralph retorted.
"You were acting really weird today, with the weird heart thing. What's going on?"
"Last night, I proposed to Elsa, and she accepted." Ralph smiled brightly.
"That's great! I mean, not for her, since she's going to be living with you and your stench, but I can imagine that you're happy with it."
"Real funny. She's never had a problem with how I smell."
"So have you guys discussed living arrangements? Always important to consider."
"No, but I'm thinking we'll start coming up with plans this week. Felix is getting a reservation at the cathedral where he and Calhoun got married."
"I'm wondering how she'll adjust from living in a beautiful castle to living in a pile of broken bricks," Vanellope joked, "It's probably not that comfortable, but it'll have to do."
Ralph's smile disappeared. He looked over at the pile of bricks and the tree stump that he called home. "I didn't think about that. Elsa's got so much already, and I've got so little. I don't want her to have to leave all that just to live with me…"
"Ralph…" Vanellope said, "I was only kidding."
"No, no, you're right. Elsa would never want to sleep with me in a dump when she's so accustomed to living in a castle…"
"Ralph. It was a joke. I wasn't being serious about my comment."
"She'd be miserable every single night, with broken bricks poking at her back…"
"I was being facetious…" Vanellope realized Ralph was not letting go of this problem, so she decided to come up with a solution. "Fine. If you're really worried about this, maybe you should have Elsa sleep with you for a few nights. That way any problems can be worked out early."
"That actually sounds like a good idea, kid," Ralph admitted.
"I'm full of good ideas. Now let's get going, lover boy. Your bride-to-be is probably excited to see you." She grabbed Ralph's hand and started trying to drag him over to the train station. He walked with her and took another look at his home. He sighed sadly.
As they walked through Game Central Station, they noticed Elsa talking to Sgt. Calhoun. "Ralph!" Calhoun yelled.
"Hey, Calhoun," Ralph said to her. He and Vanellope walked over to the two ladies. He grabbed Elsa by the hip. "Hello, beautiful," he said to his fiancée. They kissed; Vanellope gagged.
"So I was talking with Felix earlier about arranging a wedding at the Chapel at Hero's Duty Academy."
"Is that where you and Felix got married?" Ralph confirmed.
"Yes. Now I called them up and found that the earliest date they can get you two married is April 24th. Does that work for you?"
"April 24th?" Vanellope asked, "Are there seriously enough people getting married in this arcade to have that be the earliest date?"
"That sounds fine," Ralph said.
"It gives us plenty of time to plan everything," Elsa said.
Hans and Edvard were walking nearby and overheard the conversation. "Did you hear that? The abominable snow woman and the temperamental giant are getting married at the Chapel at Hero's Duty Academy this April!"
"I did hear it. Twice, actually."
"I bet if I was to study that church's layout enough, I could formulate a brilliant assassination plan!"
"Your last assassination attempt failed miserably because you expected Anna to die without writing anything or anyone finding her, let alone her escaping."
"Hey, I was young and stupid at that point. Now, I'm only one of those things." Edvard bit his tongue. "Tell you what. I'll go visit that church, see if I can figure out a death trap for those two."
"And what shall I do while you're out?"
Hans tossed Edvard a set of keys. "Why don't you take my turn cleaning the stables on the Southern Isles?" The prince quickly walked away.
Edvard looked at the keys in his hand. "Oh, joy." He walked to the Frozen gate.
The five friends went to Burger Time. "Table for five, one Kid's Menu," Calhoun told the host.
"Booth, please," Ralph added. The host got out the four menus and one Kid's Menu.
"Follow me, please." The host led them to a round booth. Ralph sat down in the back with Elsa and Felix sitting next to him, Calhoun sitting next to her husband, and Vanellope sitting next to Elsa. The host gave them the menus. "Your waiter will be here soon." He walked away.
"Trade you menus, Felix?" Vanellope asked.
"Why would you want this menu? The portions are too big for you and the Kid's Menu portions are too small for me."
"There are puzzles on the Kid's Menu."
"Gimme!" Felix tossed his menu to Vanellope and she handed him her's. He began solving the crosswords and the mazes.
"Can I get you folks something to drink?" the waiter asked.
"I'll take a root beer float," Ralph said.
"Make that two," Elsa added.
"I'll take a cola," Vanellope said.
"May I please have a chocolate milkshake?" Felix requested.
"I'll have a beer," Calhoun said.
"We don't have beer, ma'am," the waiter explained, "We're rated 'Appropriate For All Ages.'"
"Really? Damn! I'll have an iced tea instead."
"I'll have those right out for you." The waiter walked away.
A few minutes later, the waiter came back with their drinks. By that time, the five decided what they wanted to have. "Let's start with the big guy in the back."
Ralph responded, "I'd like a cheeseburger, with all the fixings." The waiter looked at Elsa next.
"The rest of us are going to split an order of sliders," she said.
"You sure? Only one slider for each of you? They're much smaller than the regular burgers."
"Trust us," Calhoun said, "We've eaten here before. We know what we want…"
The waiter shrugged and wrote it down. "The customer is always right, I suppose." He walked away.
Calhoun turned to the engaged couple. "I want to congratulate you two on your engagement. I can see that you two really do love each other and it makes me so happy that you're committed to each other."
"Well, thank you, Calhoun," Elsa replied.
Calhoun took a sip of iced tea. "I'm willing to help out with the wedding planning since it will be taking place in my game. In return, I hope you two will ensure your compatibility."
"What do you mean? Ralph and I love each other. Of course we're compatible!"
"I know you two love each other. What's important is that you're in love with each other. I want to make sure you two are willing to put up with whatever hardships both of you will encounter and will stay together no matter what."
"Well, okay," Ralph said, "I suppose we could try that." He turned to Elsa. "I'd be willing to test our relationship if you are."
"Do you believe our love isn't strong or pure enough?" Elsa asked.
"No, no. I just want to make sure our love is as strong and pure as it can be."
"When you put it like that…" Elsa looked back at Calhoun. "Yes, Calhoun, we will ensure our compatibility."
"Fantastic! I think one of the first things to do is to live together. Couples who can survive cohabitation have longer-lasting marriages."
"Vanellope was actually talking about that earlier," Ralph commented.
"It was a joke!" Vanellope insisted.
"She's right, though," Elsa commented, "It would be best for us to spend the night together for a few nights to make sure we can live together." She put her hand on Ralph's hand. The two looked into each other's eyes.
Ralph held Elsa's hand in his palm. "Elsa, if I'm not bothered by your ice powers, I know we could live together happily."
"Ralph…" Elsa dreamily said.
"Elsa…" Ralph dreamily replied.
"Ralph…"
"Elsa…"
"Oh, puke," Vanellope snarkily interrupted, "I think I lost my appetite." The four sliders dropped onto the table, each as big as a normal-sized hamburger. Vanellope grabbed a burger and started eating. "Ignore my previous comment."
From above, the waiter yelled, "The cheeseburger will be ready soon."
"The portions here are great," Ralph commented, "It's just that the service is so slow."
"And the orders get easily messed up," Calhoun commented, "Like this slider has egg on it." She removed the top bun and took off the fried egg, dripping its yolk onto the burger patty.
"Trade you for a burger with a shoeprint on top?" Felix asked, showing the indent of a sole on his top bun.
Ralph's burger dropped onto the table with immense force, not surprising given it was half the size of the table. "Oh yeah!" Ralph picked up the burger and began eating.
