Last chapter! I hope you guys enjoy!

The song for this chapter is "Can't Fight This Feeling" by REO Speedwagon. Seriously, when I first listened to that song, I could not stop squealing because it fit Rancis and Vanellope so much! XD

Honestly, I could NOT stop smiling like an idiot while writing this chapter. XD

Disclaimer: I don't own Wreck-It Ralph, or REO Speedwagon's "Can't Fight This Feeling".


The instruments of the song began, and Rancis stood in the middle of the stage, looking at Vanellope. He couldn't tell weather she was happy, shocked, or amused for that matter. But nonetheless, he took a breath, closed his eyes, and began to sing into the microphone.

I can't fight this feeling any longer,
and yet I'm still afraid to let it flow.
What started out as friendship has grown stronger.
I only wish I had the strength to let it show.

As the song went on, Rancis grew more and more confident. He was glad he was finally telling Vanellope how he felt, and that he didn't have to hold it in anymore. It was like nobody but Vanellope was watching him.

I tell myself that I can't hold out forever.
I said there is no reason for my fear.
'Cause I feel so secure when we're together.
You give my direction, you make everything so clear.

And even as I wonder, I'm keeping you in sight.
You're a candle in the window on a cold dark winter's night.
And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might.

Rancis opened his eyes and looked straight into Vanellope's caramel-colored eyes. She was grinning from ear to ear, and was practically sitting on the edge of her seat.

And I can't fight this feeling anymore.
I've forgotten what I started fighting for.
It's time to bring this ship into the shore,
and throw away the oars, forever.

'Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore.
I've forgotten what I started fighting for.
And if I have to crawl up on the floor,
come crashing through your door.

Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore.

Vanellope bit her bottom lip as she smiled, her cheeks turning red. Why she was acting so girly and weak and... well, love sick, she didn't know why. It wasn't like her at all! She liked him a lot, but would never admit it. Well, unless Rancis admitted it first.

Rancis walked down the stairs that were placed in front of the stage and as soon as the instrumental part was over, resumed singing, right on cue.

My life has been such a whirlwind since I saw you.
I've been running 'round in circles in my mind.
And it always seems that I'm following you, girl.
'Cause you take me to the places that alone I'd never find.

Rancis began to walk closer to Vanellope as he sang, smirking with happiness.

And even as I wonder, I'm keeping you in sight.
You're a candle in the window on a cold dark winter's night.
And I'm getting closer than I ever thought I might.

Vanellope was smiling to much, her cheeks hurt. Everyone at the party thought it was adorable.

And I can't fight this feeling anymore.
I've forgotten what I started fighting for.
It's time to bring this ship into the shore,
and throw away the oars, forever.

'Cause I can't fight this feeling anymore.
I've forgotten what I started fighting for.
And if I have to crawl up on the floor,
come crashing through your door.

Baby, I can't fight this feeling anymore.

As the song finished, the crowd cheered; Rancis did an amazing job, and was surprisingly a good singer!

Rancis, who was now in front of Vanellope, got on one knee to be at Vanellope's height(he was a little taller than her already, and the fact that she was sitting down only made him taller than her), and grabbed one of her hands.

"Vanellope von Schweetz," he said into the microphone, so everyone else could hear as well, "will you be my girlfriend?"

Vanellope couldn't help but let out an excited squeal. "G'DOI, I'LL BE YOUR GIRLFRIEND!" she exclaimed as she jumped from the chair to Rancis and hugged him tightly. "THAT WAS THE BEST-EST BIRTHDAY PRESENT EVER!"

The party guests aww'd and applauded and the adorable racers that were now a couple.


"Cake time!"

A six-layered(which, at first, Vanellope thought would be too much, but then she saw how many people came) vanilla cake was rolled into the middle of the party room. Each layer was either brown, green, white, or purple, to match Vanellope's clothing color scheme. Each layer had stripes, polka dots, ect. patterns. Random candy was sprinkled over the whole cake, representing the random candies placed in Vanellope's hair. The border of each uniquely decorated layer was red licorice, representing the strings of Vanellope's hoodie and the hairpiece that held Vanellope's hair in a ponytail. There was nine different colored candles at the top, already lit and ready to be blown out.

Vanellope thought it was perfect.

As everyone began to sing "Happy Birthday", Ralph lifted Vanellope up so she would be able to reach the candles.

"Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday, dear, Vanellope!
Happy birthday to you!" everyone sang.

Except for Ralph, who sang,

"Happy birthday to you!
You're a hundred-and-two!
You smell like a monkey!
And you act like one too!" over everyone else, causing Vanellope to giggle and shove his face away slightly.

She faced the candles, and closed her eyes. All I wish is for my friends and boyfriend to be happy 'til the end of the Arcade in ten million years! she wished silently, took a deep breath, and blew out all nine candles. Everyone cheered.

A few minutes later, Felix had helped Vanellope cut the first slice of cake, as well as many others.

Once the cake was served, Vanellope sat in Rancis' lap at a table with Ralph, Felix, Calhoun, and a few other game characters.

"What did you wish for, Vanilla Bean?" Felix asked the little girl as everyone enjoyed the delicious cake.

Vanellope simply rolled her eyes. "I can't tell you, or it won't come true, guh-doi!"

Felix chuckled at her response.


"Here's the first present, little soldier." Calhoun said, handing a present to Vanellope, who was still sitting on Rancis' lap.

Vanellope read the tag that was on the messily-wrapped gift, "'To: President Fart-Feathers. From: Stink Brain.'" Vanellope read, grinning. "Nice wrapping, doofus." she commented at Ralph.

"Yeah, yeah, just open it." Ralph shot back. It was hard to wrap presents with such huge hands...

Vanellope ripped the colored wrapping open, and revealed the present. "Sweet!" she exclaimed, placing the gift on her head. "I love it!"

The gift was a helmet, decorated by Ralph. It wasn't very well decorated, much like Vanellope's kart, but Vanellope loved it. To her, it was nothing but perfect.

"Did you read what was on the side?" Ralph asked.

Vanellope took the helmet off her head and read what was written on the right side with frosting. "'This helmet is property of the best racer ever and the best little sister ever, Vanellope von Schweetz.'"

Vanellope smiled so much her cheeks hurt again, and she placed the helmet back on her head. "That's the awesome-est presents ever, Stink Brain!"

Ralph smiled and ruffled her hair, "Glad you think so, kid."

Vanellope got handed the second present, which was from both Felix and Calhoun. Unlike Ralph's, their's was neatly wrapped.

"'To: Vanilla Bean. From: Felix and Tamora.'" Vanellope read, a smile still glued on her face. She ripped the wrapping and revealed the present.

Her present was a suit from Hero's Duty, small enough to fit her tiny body. It even came with a gun she could hold!

"You won't be actually be shooting cybugs- just training." Tamora explained, "By Felix and Ralph's wish."

"Aww, c'mon! Not even one real game?" Vanellope asked.

"That's not such a good idea, Vanellope." Ralph said, "You know you don't regenerate outside your game."

"Aw, fine." Vanellope pouted. "But the suit would protect me!" she protested, taking one final look at the suit(which she found amazing that she got one just her size), and putting it back inside the box carefully. She added a mental note to put it on as soon as the party was over.


Vanellope had gotten so many presents that there wasn't enough time to open them all; it was getting late, and the party was going to end in an hour or so.

"Attention everyone..." Sour Bill announced from the stage, "It's time for the father-daughter dance... Or in this case..." Sour Bill read from a card the Vanellope had wrote with changes for the party, "The Stink Brain-President dance..."

A spot was made clear in the middle of the room, with the exception of Ralph and Vanellope. Ralph scooped Vanellope up with one hand, and held one of her tiny hands in his other giant one.

"Well, look at you," Ralph smiled, looking into her sparkling eyes, "one year older, and you already grew up on me."

She looked confused, "What the Hershey's are you talking about?"

"You got a boyfriend," he responded, scrunching his face up at the thought of the blonde racer.

"So what? It doesn't mean I'm grown up or whatever-not that I can." she rolled her eyes, but still smiling. "I'll always be your little sister though. I promise."

Ralph smiled too, "I know you will."

"Just promise me one thing, Stink Brain."

"What's that, Baroness Booger Face?"

"Don't be all protective or scare Rancis. Please?" Vanellope asked.

Ralph thought about it for a moment and responded, "Ah, we'll see about that, Princess."

"President." she corrected.

"Same thing."

Not too long after that, the song ended. The party guests clapped and Ralph placed Vanellope back on the floor. They goofily bowed to each other, and then it was Rancis' turn to have a dance with the ex-princess. Rancis placed his hand on her waist and held her hand. Vanellope placed her hand on his shoulder, and held his hand as well.

"Enjoying your party, Miss. von Schweetz?" Rancis smirked.

"G'doi!" was her response, as if it was obvious.

That caused Rancis to chuckle, "Glad you think so."

Vanellope smiled and laid her head on his chest as they swayed back and forth. "Y'know,I really liked your performance earlier."

Rancis blushed. "R-Really?"

"Yeah. You're actually good at something other than looking in the mirror and making yourself look cute," she responded, blushing a bit herself.

Rancis didn't respond. He just kept smiling and blushing as he placed his chin on her head and continued to sway back and forth.


It had been a long night. Some people had left, but not everyone. Surprisingly, the some of the youngest people at the party, the Sugar Rush racers, were still full of energy, despite how late it was. Well... With the exception of two.

Tired out from the day, Vanellope was fast asleep. She and Rancis had took a break not too long ago. They sat in a chair, and the second Vanellope was sitting on Rancis' lap and her head was on his shoulder, she had fallen asleep.

And Rancis had been there since. He was tired, but not tired enough to sleep. So he just sat there, looking at the sleeping girl in his arms. That was, until three of Vanellope's closest friends came up to him. Rancis looked up at them.

Ralph was the first to speak, "Look, kid. Vanellope means a lot to me; so hurt her in any way, you'll get hurt even worse. Got it?"

"Y-Yes sir." Rancis nodded.

"Oh, Brother, you know he's trustworthy." Felix said.

"Hey, you can never be too safe!" Ralph responded.

Rancis smirked lightheartedly, "Don't worry." he looked down at Vanellope again, "I'll make her the happiest girl in the Arcade."
