During one break in the game, Ralph went over to talk with Felix. "Felix, I need help," the big man started.
"Well, sure, Ralph," the handyman replied, "I'm always willing to lend a helping hand. What's the matter?"
"Well, this isn't for anyone else's ears…"
"Don't worry, Ralph. As an old-school good guy, I swear I will not reveal anything to anyone else. Not even Tamora…unless she asks."
"Right. So when Elsa and I went to talk with Mary about the cake, Elsa got nervous and ran away. She told me she doesn't deal well with meeting new people."
"That sounds just awful."
"I know. I was thinking I could help her gain some confidence to meet some new people. She's been in the arcade for this long, yet she's never made any friends besides me, you, Vanellope, and Calhoun. I want her to gain the confidence to meet some new people."
"That's really nice of you, Ralph."
"Thanks, buddy. I was thinking of introducing her to some of my Bad-Anon buddies…"
"Bad idea, Ralph."
"That's what I was thinking…and going to say. So instead, I think I'll introduce her to someone simple and work my way up. Do you know anyone who is easy to introduce?"
"Well, I think some of the Namco good guys would be easy to talk to. Maybe you should introduce her to one of them."
"Good thinking, Felix." Ralph high-fived Felix (which Felix was able to accomplish with his jumping skills). A new gamer walked up to the arcade cabinet. "Good luck against me," Ralph said as they took their places.
Ralph made it his goal over the next few weeks to introduce Elsa to someone new from the arcade each night. That night, after the two met up, Ralph started walking Elsa towards the spot where classic characters hang out. "Where are we going?" she asked.
"There's someone I want you to meet," he replied.
Elsa froze up. "Ralph, please. I don't want to do this," she nervously responded.
"Elsa, honey, relax. He's a nice guy. He's not gonna hurt you." Elsa slowly walked next to Ralph as they got closer. They came upon a little blue man wearing a white suit. "Elsa, this is Taizo Hori. Taizo, this is Elsa." Elsa looked down at the little guy. He looked like he wouldn't hurt a fly. Elsa bent over and shook his hand.
"Pleased to meet you," Taizo said, "My friends call me 'Dig Dug.' Actually, everyone does."
"Nice to meet you, Dig Dug," Elsa said.
"I've got to get going. I'll talk to you later." Taizo then used his patented digging device and dug a quick tunnel.
"Bye," Elsa said. She turned to Ralph. "That wasn't so bad," she admitted.
"Would you be up for meeting someone else tomorrow?"
"I guess so."
Over the next few weeks, Ralph introduced Elsa to more people. He introduced her to the paperboy, Ryu, Raphael, wireframe Little Mac, Miles "Tails" Prower, and others. Without even realizing it, Elsa was getting over her social anxiety with Ralph's help.
After a month of introducing Elsa to new people, Ralph asked Elsa, "Are you ready to see Mary again to discuss our wedding cake?"
"I think so. I don't even know what I was so worried about before," Elsa laughed.
"That's what I like to hear! Let's go pay Mary a visit." The two walked to Mary's apartment and knocked on the door.
Mary opened her door. "Ralph! Elsa! What a surprise!" she answered, "I wasn't expecting you or anyone else tonight. Come in. Sit down." The two did just that. "So Elsa, Ralph and I discussed the idea of making a castle-shaped chocolate cake with marshmallow sauce."
Elsa thought of that. "That sounds pretty tasty. Perhaps a bit of graham cracker crusts, either on the rooftops as shingles or on the ground for stone pathways."
"I like the sound of that," Mary said. She wrote it down.
"Also, may we please make the cake light blue?" Elsa lifted her dress slightly. "It's my favorite color, as you can tell."
"A light blue wedding cake?" Mary asked, "This is most unorthodox…"
"To be fair," Ralph pointed out, "the cake is shaped like a castle. I think we're leaving orthodoxy behind on this one."
"Good point." Mary wrote down the color idea. "Do you guys have anything else you want to discuss about the cake tonight?"
"I believe I've given you all my ideas," Ralph said. He turned to his fiancée. "Anything else you have to say?"
"No. I believe everything I need to say has been said."
"Okay. Let me just review." Mary looked at her notes. "So that's a castle-shaped chocolate cake with blue frosting, marshmallow sauce, graham cracker-I'll decide later what I'll do with it-and that's everything. When do you need it by?"
"April 24th," Elsa answered.
"Two months from now? Oh, that will be plenty of time."
"Thank you for all your help, Mary," Elsa said. She shook Mary's hand.
"It's my pleasure, your majesty." Elsa blushed.
As the date of the wedding drew closer, Hans frantically planned his assassination of the two. He frequently visited the Chapel at Hero's Duty Academy in order to figure out how he would be able to kill both of them at the same time. As soon as he had a basic plan, he called for Edvard. "What is it, your majesty?" Edvard dryly asked Hans.
"I've figured out how I'll get rid of both Wreck-It Ralph and Elsa at the same time at their wedding," Hans replied.
"You're still going on about that? Haven't you moved on?"
Hans handed Edvard a sketch he made of the cathedral's interior. "My first thought was to break down the big stained-glass window, but that Calhoun woman makes sure that anything that comes in through that window is terminated immediately." He handed Edvard another sketch. "But take a look at this."
"A chandelier?"
"The chandelier is perfectly placed above the spot where they'll exchange vows. Once it falls on them, the spike at the very bottom will impale them. Disregarding that, the sheer weight alone will crush them."
"Okay. You have your plan. Now how in the world are you going to get the chandelier to fall on them?"
"That's my next step. I'm going to be pulling several all-nighters to figure out how I'll pull it off. I'll need you to stay up and make coffee for the both of us." Edvard groaned in annoyance.
With their cake planned out and being prepared by Mary, Ralph and Elsa moved on to the next part of their wedding: flower arrangements. There were certainly nice flowers in Arendelle, but Elsa wanted to do something different for her wedding. One night in February, Elsa went to Sugar Rush to visit Vanellope.
"Hey there, Queen Frostine," Vanellope said as Elsa approached, "What can I do for you?"
"Ralph and I are coming up with ideas for flower arrangements. I was thinking since…"
"Since I'm a little girl, I'd automatically love flowers and would have the perfect idea for what you'd want to decorate your wedding with?"
"That isn't what I was going to say…I was going to say since you and Ralph are friends, you might allow us to use some flowers from Sugar Rush for our wedding."
"Oh, I can definitely do that!" Vanellope said, "Wait here. I'll get Ralph." Vanellope got into her race car and drove off to Game Central Station. She found Ralph heading to the Frozen gate. "Hey, Ralph, your fiancée is in my game. I'll take you to her."
"Thanks, kid," Ralph said. He got on the back of her car and the two headed back to Sugar Rush. "So what's Elsa doing in your game?"
"She wants to use some flowers from my game for the wedding."
Ralph thought about it. "You have flowers in your game?"
"Well, not like organic flowers. They're candy flowers."
"Oh. Gotcha." They approached Elsa. Vanellope stopped next to her. Ralph picked Elsa up in a loving embrace. "Hello, beautiful."
"Hello, handsome," Elsa replied. They kissed.
"Vanellope says that you wanted to use some flowers from this game for our wedding. Also, that there are actually flowers in this game."
"Yes. I thought it would be a nice way to distinguish our wedding from past ones and a sign of the good relations between Arendelle and Sugar Rush."
"Plus, you'll be able to eat the flowers afterwards," Vanellope added.
"That is a plus," Ralph replied.
Elsa turned to Vanellope. "What kind of flowers do you have here?"
"I'll take you both to the castle garden. There's plenty of flowers there." Vanellope got in her car, Ralph sat on the back, and Elsa sat on his lap. They drove to Vanellope's presidential castle. After getting out of her car, she led them to the garden. Neither Ralph nor Elsa had ever seen it. "Here it is, the presidential garden!" Elsa and Ralph looked at the garden in amazement. There were so many kinds of candy flowers. There were ones made of marshmallow, hard candy, chocolate, rock candy, bubblegum, licorice, and other assorted types.
"Oh, there are so many," Elsa gleefully commented, "I can't decide! Would I be able to have one of each flower type?"
"Sure, but there is one condition…"
Elsa's smile faded. "I don't like the sound of that."
Vanellope smiled at Elsa. "I get to be the flower girl at your wedding."
"Oh. Well, that isn't so bad." Elsa looked at Ralph. "You have any objections to that?"
Ralph thought for a minute. "No. I can't even think of a joking objection."
"Yes!" Vanellope threw her fists in the air. "I'm gonna get to be a flower girl! I'll have your flowers picked out in a few weeks."
"Thank you very much, Vanellope," Elsa said. She and Ralph began walking away.
"That's another thing off our wedding checklist," Ralph commented. He plucked a chocolate rose and gave it to Elsa. She sniffed it and took a bite.
