Scooby dooby doo! Where are you? Woo hoo!
"It's right through…" Rancis's voice trailed off as he realized that the previously opened secret door was now closed.
"Vanellope…" Rancis said with worry. He immediately began searching around the kitchen to find some way of opening the door.
"Are you sure you're not going crazy?" Swizzle asked.
"Yeah," Candlehead said, "There's NO open door he-" Rancis covered Candlehead's mouth with his hand before she could finish her sentence.
"There's a fine reason why people call it secret! It's HIDDEN! It closed! And Vanellope is inside!" Rancis said.
When Vanellope awoke, she felt her hands tied behind her back with licorice and fruit roll up being used as a gag.
"Hey, Vanellope," a voice said. Vanellope looked up and saw Taffyta caged up in a small cell.
"Mmph?" Vanellope questioned.
"Simple really," Taffyta said, "I saw someone lurking outside and when I followed him, I noticed that he was some kind of sour themed candy boy painting my kart black."
"Mmph?" Vanellope questioned once more.
"He told me he had something BIGGER in mind than just wrecking peoples' cars. I thought that was Ralph's job," Taffyta said. Vanellope just sighed deeply.
"Oh," Taffyta said, "by the way."
"Hm?" Vanellope said.
"Are you dressed up as Ms. Danger Prone Daphne from Scooby Doo?" Taffyta asked. Vanellope nodded.
"You know wearing an outfit like THAT on Halloween when a ghost is lurking around is a nasty idea," Taffyta said. Vanellope glared at her.
"Then again," Taffyta said, "You couldn't have seen it coming so… I'll give it a pass."
Rancis moved aside a glass cup and found a switch.
"Aha!" Rancis said. He pulled the switch and the door opened back up. The three friends stepped inside and the door closed behind them.
"We're trapped…" Candlehead said.
"Yeah," Rancis said, "I can see that." The three racers followed the staircase down where they saw Taffyta and Vanellope.
"Taffyta! Vanellope!" Rancis said. Candlehead and Swizzle went to free Taffyta while Rancis went to free Vanellope.
"Phew!" Vanellope said, removing her fruity gag.
"What happened?" Rancis asked.
"Well," Vanellope said, "the door closed, and then when I failed to find out how to open it, I decided to start leaning on it and wait for you guys. That's when the door opened again from behind me and I fell in. It closed in front of me and before I knew it, knockout gas was being pumped into the room!"
"I was just knocked unconscious!" Taffyta said.
"Wait a minute!" Candlehead said.
"What?" Vanellope asked.
"Did either of you see what your kidnapper looked like?" Candlehead asked.
"Like I said," Vanellope said, "I was pumped full of knockout gas."
"I got a brief glimpse of him before he knocked me out," Taffyta said, "And again when he told me that he had something BIGGER in mind."
"What'd he look like?" Candlehead asked.
"He looked like a sour themed candy ghost boy that was about all of our height!" Taffyta said.
"We SAW a ghost up-!"
"There are no such things as ghosts!" Vanellope said.
"Okay! We saw what LOOKED LIKE a ghost upstairs!" Rancis said.
"What're you saying?" Taffyta said.
"I think I know who the ghost is!" Candlehead said.
"You do?" Vanellope asked in shock.
"Yup," Candlehead said, "and here's how we're gonna catch him!" The group huddled together and formed a plan.
Back in the living room, Rancis and Vanellope were sitting on the biggest sofa. Rancis looked up at the chandelier, where Candlehead, Taffyta, and Swizzle were waiting with a net. Just on cue, a ghost emerged from nowhere and attacked Rancis and Vanellope. The couple moved out of the way of the net, letting the ghost get in the trajectory of the net. The three racers hiding on the chandelier dropped the net. At the last second however, the ghost moved out of the way and pushed Rancis and Vanellope in the trajectory.
"No!" Rancis said before the net fell on him and Vanellope.
"Oh crud…" Candlehead said. The ghost made its way to Rancis and Vanellope and then picked up the net they were in. He threw them into the kitchen.
"You know," Taffyta said, "now that I think about it," she continued, "I don't think this chandelier can support all three of us."
"What're you saying?" Swizzle asked. Just at that moment, the chandelier chain snapped and it fell on top of the ghost, knocking it unconcious. Afterwards, Candlehead, Swizzle, and Taffyta freed Vanellope and Rancis from the net.
"Well…" Vanellope said, "now it REALLY feels like we just solved a Scooby Doo mystery."
"How's that?" Rancis asked.
"Well," Vanellope said, "1. A ghost. 2. Other people get caught in the crossfire of the trap. 3. The mystery person is caught anyway."
"Very observant, Vanellope," Swizzle said.
"Well let's see who our suspect really is!" Candlehead said as she pulled off the ghost costume. It revealed to be, big surprise, Gloyd.
"Big surprise," Candlehead said sarcastically.
"But what was your 'bigger plan?" Taffyta asked.
"To pain all sugar rush cars black!" Gloyd said.
"Um…" Rancis said, loss for words.
"I would've gotten away with it if it weren't for you meddling kids and that stupid dog!" Gloyd said.
"What dog?" Vanellope asked, confused.
"Aren't we serving Taffyta as Scooby Doo here?" Gloyd asked.
"Wha-?! Hey!" Taffyta said, offended.
"If you want," Swizzle said, "we can go purchase a devil dog so it could-"
"LET'S JUST GO WITH THAT! OKAY?!" Gloyd said.
"Okay! Okay! Sheesh!" Candlehead said. After everything settled down, the party resumed.
"So that candy corn kid pranked us?" Calhoun asked.
"Yup," Vanellope said.
"Well," Felix said.
"I suppose we better get going," Ralph said.
"Yeah," Felix said, "It's been fun, but we need to hit the hay back at our game!" With that, Ralph, Felix, and Calhoun left.
"See you later guys!" Vanellope said. Little to her knowledge, Rancis was walking up right behind her.
"So…" Rancis said. Vanellope looked at him and smiled.
"That was some prank," Rancis said.
"I'll say," Vanellope said. The two leaned in for a kiss. At the last second, however, Vanellope got mischievous and licked Rancis from his chin to his forehead.
"Trick or treat, chocolate boy!" Vanellope said with a smirk. Rancis was just wide eyed at what his girlfriend just did.
"Okay," Vanellope said, "now we can do it for realsies!" The two leaned in for a kiss. This time, Vanellope kept true to her word and the two embraced each other with a kiss.
Woo hoo! Vanellope Story Vol. 2 done! I hope you all enjoyed!
