Chapter 3
Vanellope lead me over to a huge building that was pretty far away from where I first met the little kid. She pointed to a door that had her picture on it and it was crossed out saying, "NO GLITCHES ALLOWED". I raised an eyebrow at this and turned to the little girl beside me.
"What's up with that Van?" I questioned, using the little nickname I gave her, and pointed at the door, one hand on my side. "Are you wanted or something?"
The kid frowned and shook her head slowly and looked up at me, brown eyes looking sadden. "No. I'm not. People here just don't like me."
I pulled her over to some candy sticking up from the ground and sat down with her on one of them. The poor kid looked like she was going to cry at any second. "If you don't mind me asking, Van, why don't they like you?"
"Because I'm a glitch," Vanellope told me, her voice quiet and sad. "I was never suppose to be here in the game, but somehow I am. Everyone in Sugar Rush hates me. They make fun of me and tell me I can't race because I'm a glitch..."
"So that's why you wanna win so bad.. To prove them wrong.."
"Yeah.." She looked up at me a little surpised. "How do you know?"
I sighed softly. I knew a question like this was going to come up sooner or later from Vanellope. Might as well tell her now. "Because Van I was bullied like you are. People made fun of me 'cause of my two tails. They would beat me, hurt me, even tried to kill me all because of my tails. I never understood why they did what they did to me. Not till I met Sonic. He showed me that not all people were bad. There are good people out there, Vanellope. You just gotta look for them."
"And I think I just found one," Vanellope said, smiling.
I looked down at her, blinking. "Yeah? Who?"
She gave me a big hug, grinning as big as her hug. "You, Tails!"
I froze and stared down at her as she hugged me. I smiled and hugged her back, a few tears falling for my eyes. "Thank you Van. You're one of my friends too."
Vanellope smiled and let go. She saw me crying a bit and frowned, wipping my tears away with her hand. "Don't cry Tails..."
"S-Sorry Van. I'm okay now." I gave a smile and a wink, must like Sonic does when he promises people things. "Now, come on kid, let's go build that car!"
"Okay!"
