Rancis was against Natasha's boyfriend Chris, yes he was nervous but that wasn't going to stop him. He chose a brown go-kart while Chris chose a black one.

Both boys got in their karts and waited for the announcer.

"Ok racer's rules are:
No pushing or touching the other player physically
No cheating
And have fun!
Ok on your marks!..." Started the announcer.

The boys turned on their engines.

"Get set!..." the announcer continued.

Rancis and Chris looked at each other they both nodded, and looked forwards.

"GO!" the announcer finished.

Both boys were off, Chris in the lead. Rancis soon caught up and both were tied. In the second lap Rancis started in the lead but Chris caught up. Finally, the third lap came up and Chris was in the lead just then Rancis saw a button on his kart, curiosity won him and he pressed it then suddenly he was going at full speed he was mere inches from the finish line Chris wasn't far behind when...

He crossed the finish line! He had won first place, Chris crossed the finish line seconds after. Then Chris did what nobody thought he would he got out of his kart and stretched out his arm Rancis took his hand and both shook their hands.

'' Good job, you were a tricky opponent and for once someone beat me, so I congratulate you." Chris said.

"Thanks." Rancis replied. The a woman came put with a trophy and handed it to Rancis.

Both boys headed to the girls, Vanellope hugged Rancis.

"You won you're first trophy pretty boy." congratulated Vanellope.

"This isn't over you still have to beat me which won't happen." Natasha said.

Both girls entered the course and chose their kart, Vanellope chose a mint green one (coincidence) while Natasha chose an orange one.

The announcer once again spoke.

"Ok racer's rules are:
No pushing or touching the other player physically
No cheating
And have fun!
Ok on your marks!..." Started the announcer.

The girls started there engines.

"Get set!..." the announcer continued.

The girls looked at each other, Natasha glared at Vanellope while Vanellope glared back.

"GO!" the announcer finished.

The girls sped off Natasha in the lead, but Vanellope wouldn't let her be ,too long. Vanellope not much after was in the lead in the second lap it got more interesting since the girls kept changing who was in the lead every five seconds.

On the third lap though Vanellope hit a rock that was in the track and fell behind it was going to be hard to get in the lead, that when Vanellope saw it. There was an unfinished ramp Vanellope wasn't sure what was happen but, she had to take a risk.

Vanellope turned to the right and before she knew it she was soaring in the air. She closed her eyes and with a pretty loud thump she landed on the ground safe, sound and in front of Natasha everyone was awed at the nine-year olds courage.

Vanellope crossed the finish line, everyone clapped and made a huge commotion.

"You cheated!" Natasha exclaimed, while the announcer came over with her trophy.

"Mrs. she cheated!" once again Natasha exclaimed.

"Sorry sweet heart she didn't, there isn't a single rule she broke and nothing is against what she did with the ramp over there." the announcer told Natasha.

Vanellope got her trophy and ran to Rancis who gave her a hug.

"Come on Chris, let's get out of here." Natasha ordered while exiting. Chris winked at the pair and left, behind his girlfriend.

" We won our first trophies!" Vanellope exclaimed as they exited and looked for the grown ups, they congratulated them the group walked to the van.

All the way both, nine-year olds talked about how they felt when they crossed the finish line. When they got home, both kids were asleep in the back seat. Vanellope's head resting on Rancis's shoulder Mrs. Griffon took a photo, while Ralph boiled of anger (he could be a little ,too over protective.)

After the photo was taken the nine-year olds started shifting and woke up at the same time, both blushed. They got off the car, said there goodbye's and left. Vanellope excused herself and went upstairs.

She showered and went to sleep even if it was only 8:00 p.m., tonight she felt very tired so she easily went to sleep.

The next morning Vanellope did her normal routine once only she and her uncle were left she got her cookies and asked her everyday question.

"Who's looking after me today?" she asked.

"The Griffon's wanted to take care of you again so I though it was ok." Felix answered a he closed the silently 'yes'ed' herself. They went to the Griffon's house and once again Mrs. Griffon opened the door.

Felix almost said the same the same words as last time and left.

Today Vanellope was wearing some jean shorts, an aqua green shirt that had a flower that's center started at the right hand corner.

"Do you have a few seconds to come in before leaving?" asked Mrs. Griffon.

"Where is everyone?" Vanellope asked.

"Mary and Brad are sleeping, Mr. Griffon is at work and Rancis..." she started as they entered the living room where Rancis was watching the t.v

"... is watching t.v. " finished Vanellope making Rancis get startled at the sudden voice.

"Hi Vanellope!" greeted Rancis.

"Hey, Rancis!'' she greeted back.

"Whatcha doing?" he asked.

"I just came in to say hi I need to get working." she explained.

"You work?'' he asked.

''Nope, but sometimes I get paid, it's just that since there's no kids here I help the neighbors." she once again explained.

"Don't you get tired?" he asked.

"Lots' of questions, huh? " she asked back.

"I'm curious." he replied.

"The answers no." she looked at her watch it was 7:50.

"Well, I'd love to stay and chat but I have to go with the Sander's." she told him.

"Can I come?" he asked.

"I don't know by me ok..." she turned to look at Mrs. Griffon "... can Rancis come with me Mrs. Griffon?" she asked.

"Sure." Mrs. Griffon answered.

"Yay." Rancis said.

"Well what are you waiting for? Put on some shoes and let's go!" Vanellope ordered making Mrs. Griffon smile.

Rancis did as told and both nine-year olds headed for the exit.

"See you later Mrs. Griffon/grandma." both kids chorused a they left.

"The Sander's are next door." Vanellope told Rancis.

"Then why'd you make me hurry up?" Rancis asked.

"Because I have to get here five minutes before they open." she explained, Mrs. Sander was already inside making sure everything was in its place. Vanellope knocked three times and Mrs. Sander's opened.

"Hello Vanny." Mrs. Sander's greeted.

"Hello Mrs. Sanders..." she greeted and hugged the elder woman. "... I want you to meet my friend Rancis." she introduced.

"Hello Rancis." Mrs. Sanders said kindly.

"Hello." he replied.

"Well let's come in need to get this place tidied up before everyone comes in" Mrs. Sander.

For an hour they stayed with Mrs. Sander's then went with the Jackson's, next Blake's, then the White's, then the Johnson's, the Miller's and lastly the Berkley's.

They were nearly going to finish the hour with the Berkley's when the bell rang in came in a young man, Mr. Henderson.

"Hi, Mr. Henderson!" Vanellope greeted.

"Oh, hello Vanellope, who's your friend?" he asked.

"He's Rancis Mrs. Griffon's grandson." she told the grown man.

"Oh well, hello Rancis." Mr. Griffon said.

"Hello." Rancis replied he'd been introduced for what seemed the millionth time today.

"What are you doing here Mr. Henderson you barely ever eat candy." Vanellope said.

"Oh, it's just Mrs. Henderson suddenly got a craving for Vanilla ice cream." Mr. Henderson explained.

"Oh, how much would you want?" she asked.

"Only a quarter tub please." he requested.

"Ok." she went into a door that led to the huge freezer. She came out chattering her teeth

"Here you go. That'll be a dollar twenty-five." she told him.

He handed her a five dollar bill and she gave him his change, but put a couple quarters and a dollar bill in the tip jar which Vanellope was allowed to put up when she worked with someone.

Then Mrs. Berkley came out from the living room which was connected to the shop and only separated by a door and a wall.

"Well kids, you're hour with me is up and as a prize you can have any candy or ice cream you want." she announced.

"Yay." the kids chorused, both immediately went to the freezer and each got an ice cream popsicle.

"Thank you." they chorused as they took the tip jar , Vanellope hugged Mrs. Berkley good-bye and they left.

"What ice cream did you get?" she asked as Rancis opened his. It was coated in chocolate so she couldn't see the inside.

"Peanut butter bar." he answered. "How about you?" he asked as Vanellope started opening hers.

"Mint chocolate chip bar." she replied revealing a popsicle identical to Rancis's but different in the inside.

"Does mint even taste good?" he asked, he had always thought mint ice cream tasted yucky.

"Of course, or else I wouldn't be eating a chocolate chip mint bar, godoi." she explained.

"It's just it's green." he told her.

"What did you expect, mints green not purple! Here try some." she said stretching her arm out so Rancis could grab it.

"I don't know..." he started but Vanellope shoved the ice cream bar in his mouth for him to taste, Rancis bit the piece of ice cream bar in his mouth. He chewed a couple of times and swallowed. It didn't taste bad, it was actually rather tasty.

"So...?" Vanellope asked.

"It's actually better than I thought." he answered.

"I knew you'd like it!" she exclaimed in triumph. "... I knew that if you could like peanut butter you'd like chocolate chip mint." she finished.

"Don't tell me you don't like peanut butter." he said.

"Ok, then I won't tell you." she slyly replied.

"You don't like peanut butter!" he exclaimed as he bit his peanut butter bar.

"Nope." she said while she took a bite out of her ice cream bar.

"You have to like peanut butter!" he exclaimed.

"I don't have to" she protested.

"Yes you do... now try it." Rancis protested back and doing the same action Vanellope did when she tried to make him taste her bar.

"Ey, no!" she exclaimed.

"I tasted yours, so you have to taste mine." he stated.

"Fine." she whined , normally he wouldn't give in so easily but when it came to Rancis something got over her, she took a bite out of his ice cream bar, chewed then swallowed.

"So...?" he asked.

"Hm, pretty good" she replied sincerely.

"I knew you'd like it.'' Rancis told her.

"Don't get so used to it" Vanellope said. Then they arrived at his house.

"Wanna sit and finish before going in?" Rancis asked.

"Sure." she replied as she sat on one of the steps, Rancis sat on the step above hers.

They finished their ice cream bar while chatting animatedly, then once they finished went inside (the doors always open, plus Rancis is staying there so they don't need to knock.).

"Where is everybody?" Rancis asked as they entered.

"Mrs. Griffon normally serves lunch in the garden since it's hot." she replied.

"You know a lot about everyone's lives ,don't you?" he asked.

"I was nearly raised with most of these people, there like my family of course I know a lot about them, all I have is them my uncle, my brother and my aunt, just like some only have each other and me." she explained.

"But, you have friends ,right?" he asked.

"Of course, but I don't see them during the summer or in the afternoons after school." she answered as they entered the garden.

"Hello." the kids chorused. Mrs. Griffon was having tea, with Mary and Brad.

"Hey kids, came to eat lunch?" Brad asked.

"Yep." they replied.

"Good, come and sit down I'll go get lunch." Mary said as she patted two empty seats that were next to her. The nine-year olds sat down as Mary got up and went to the kitchen.

Once Mary came back everyone ate and talked. After lunch the kids excused theirselves and left.

"Where are we going next?" he asked.

"Well, I'm not going with the young couples until next week. And the week after that I won't be helping anyone since we're going to be finishing the preparations for the wedding." she answered.

"I ment to today." he explained.

" Oh, we already did all the couples we needed to do for today." she replied as the exited the house.

"Then what are we going to do?" he asked.

"You'll see." she answered.

They walked to her house, and Vanellope opened the door.

"Is this your house?" he asked.

"Yep." she answered.

Rancis noticed a picture on the wall. There was only one person in it, a young man with brown eyes and black hair, he had a warm looking face. He was wearing a military suit, and looked a lot like Vanellope, with the exception he was a man.

"Who's this Vanellope?" asked Rancis.

"That's my dad." she answered.

"Wow, he worked for the military." he said.

"Yep, he died while fighting for our country." she told him, her expression was tough while her eyes looked sad.

"Well, we need to keep going Rancis this isn't out destination." she said as she pushed Rancis out of the kitchen and made him enter the backyard. She closed the door and unlocked the fence gate.

Rancis went outside and Vanellope followed suit, closing the door behind her.

"Follow me." she ordered Rancis she walked a couple of houses, Rancis behind her, then Vanellope reached the alley, and stopped dead in her tracks, as though she had forgotten something and just remembered.

"Rancis, I'm going to show you a secret but you can't tell." she told him.

"Ok." he replied

"No Rancis you have to promise you won't!" she exclaimed.

"Ok, ok I promise I won't tell." he answered seeing how much Vanellope wanted to hear the words. She looked around as though expecting someone and suddenly grabbed Rancis's hand and went in the alley.

"Cats?!'' he exclaimed "that's your big secret?" he asked.

"Ssssshhhh..." she started. "... look this isn't the same neighborhood in which we live. In this neighborhood everyone's crazy, they treat animals bad and are going to tell the pound if they found out they were here." she explained.

"Oh." was all Rancis managed to say.

"Look, these cat's are important to me you can't tell anyone, okay?" she asked.

"Okay, I promise I won't tell anyone." he reassured.

"Here, I'll introduce you them." she said she slowly walked towards the cats, who purred and came near they surrounded her legs and hissed at Rancis.

"It's ok guys he's friendly." she cooed the cats.

"This is Tiger." Vanellope told Rancis as she held up a ginger cat with a black stripe.

"Hello Tiger "he cooed the cat, Tiger meowed in response and Vanellope handed him to Rancis.

"This is Dandelion." she said as she picked up a grey cat with yellow eyes. Rancis let Tiger down and held Dandelion.

"Hello Dandelion." he cooed, as Dandelion purred.

"And this... is Cream." she told him as she picked up a white cat with green eyes. Rancis let Dandelion down. And got Cream.

"Hello Cream." he cooed once more, as the cat meowed and started purring. Vanellope opened her side bag and got out six cookies out.

"It's just for today guys because I didn't feed you yesterday." she explained to the cats who rushed towards the cookies, Cream who had been with Rancis leapt out of his arms.

Vanellope got the bowl from times before, took out the water bottle, and poured in the water for the cats to drink.

"See you tomorrow guys." she cooed as she and Rancis left they went back inside and Vanellope locked the fence gate.

Both nine-year olds washed their hands and sat on the table.

"Now what are we going to do?" Rancis asked.

"I don't know." Vanellope replied.

"Want some cookies?" she asked.

"Sure." he replied.

Vanellope did the normal procedure but this time she got the pack. When she was about to go down though, she tripped and fell backwards. Luckily Rancis had been waiting for her under and caught her.

"Um... got the cookies." Vanellope nervously said. Both blushed.

"Great." Rancis ,also nervously, replied.

He let Vanellope down making them both blush even redder. Both sat down on the table at started eating cookies after a while both started talking and acting normal again after 3 hours of talking, watching t.v and playing in Vanellope's room,Rancis left promising to meet Vanellope outside of Mrs. Jackson's house at 7: 50 since, Vanellope was probably staying with someone else tomorrow.

"Bye Rancis." she said.

"Bye Vanellope see you tomorrow" Rancis also said as he walked to his house. Vanellope closed the door.

*I can't wait 'till tomorrow* Vanellope thought with a sigh.
