Ralph sputtered a bit "Do what?" as he was more or less pulled towards the cart.

"Catch the unknown and mysterious cart-burglar of course Ralphie!" Vanellope said with a huge grin as she began to lead Ralph into his cart. "Well this is the first time I have really driven an-" Ralph was cut off by Vanellope throwing the tarp off her own cart, which for whatever reason was in the same room. "Learn fast or loose I always say! Come on Stinkbrain let's ride!" with that she pulled on her goggles, hopped in her cart and sped through the curtain and towards the front gate.

Ralph franticly pulled levels and pressed buttons on the cart grumbling in an attempt to make it start, and start it did. The engine roared and it blasted forward though the curtain "GEEEEEAAAAAAAAAH!" Ralph's yell filled the palace until he at last flew out the front gate and landed behind Vanellope's speeding cart.

Vanellope glanced over her shoulder "Ah glad to see it did not explode like the first one I made!" Ralph hysterically yelled to her as both carts zoomed down the road from the palace "The last one exploded!?"

"Yeah, yeah. But this one works fine! Now that ya got the hang of it let's find this burglar!" Vanellope pulled a level on the cart and her speed increased drastically, Ralph mimicked her action and in turn increased in speed. The duo raced off the road and onto the racetrack itself. Ralph squinted and saw that ahead of them was the mysterious racer "He's right ahead of us!" Ralph yelled to Vanellope whom he was right next to at last. "I know, I know! Just keep on him!" she yelled back.

The chase finally entered the forest of candy-canes and the unknown racer was still just out of the reach of Vanellope and Ralph. Then Vanellope's eyes lit up and an idea came to her. "Ralph! Remember when we escaped the castle the first time with my cart!?" she yelled to Ralph who was now behind her. "If you mean the time I had to use my fists to propel the cart; then yes!" "Well try it again!" Vanellope yelled with a big smile, absolutely enjoying the whole chase.

Ralph sighed a bit and unbuckled his seatbelt and lined up with Vanellope's cart. He then pulled a red lever and the cart came to a dead stop and Ralph flew forward yelling. He landed on the back of Vanellope's zooming cart with a thud and at once began to slams his fists into the ground, sending the cart into a period of amazing speed. "With this engine and your huge mitts we will catch him in no time!" Vanellope laughed back at Ralph.

The speed of Vanellope's cart kept increasing till at last they where on the tail of the unknown racer. Vanellope looked back to Ralph with a grin "Will you do the honors?" at this Ralph himself grinned as well and lifted his fists into the air in their iconic pose "I'M GONNA WRECK IT!" with his battle cry complete, both fists slammed on the tail end of the mysterious cart and it flipped over Ralph and landed behind them.

Vanellope brought the cart to a stop and hopped over to the cart and Ralph followed. They both looked into the cart and it appeared just a helmet lay in the driver's seat. "Were we chasing a helmet this whole time?" Ralph asked. As soon as Ralph said this two small green hand pulled off the helmet and the face of Sour-Bill was revealed "Is the simulation complete Miss President?" the candy asked rubbing his head.

"Yup! Thanks for that! You can have the day off now." Vanellope patted Bill on the head. Sour-Bill then pulled a lever or two and the damaged cart putted off.

Ralph looked down slowly to Vanellope with a perked brow, she had a huge smile on her face. "So that was all...staged?" Ralph asked. "Well Bill's part was...but you did great! You are a natural at this racing thing Ralph!" she chimed. Ralph became slightly bashful "Heh, well you know...learned from the best!" he proceeded to high-five Vanellope.

The two then returned to their carts and they road back towards the palace.

(More to come!)
