Ch.4 Day 1: Preparation part 2
(Where we left off)
Herschel, Sticky, Minty, Torvald, Taffyta, Crumbelina, Candlehead, Taffyta and Gloyd would arrive at the starting line of Sonoma as Torvald would park off the track and into the stands.
"Same as starting positions as last time…and like before I'll just monitor your performances….we'll have a 1 lap race to end practice"
"After I win want to celebrate at Tapper's?" Taffyta would look around.
"I'm in…though I'm not sure I'd be allowed…." Gloyd would get into position.
"You are Gloyd…Vanellope came up with some story clearing your names…."
"Oh then Crumbelina and I will come….." Candlehead would add.
"But if Sticky and Herschel come it'd be a triple date…" Crumbelina would chuckle as Herschel and Sticky would look away blushing slightly.
"We're not together…." Sticky would break the silence as all eyes turn to them.
"Trust me…..by the end of the day you will be….I promise you that" Taffyta would snicker as Gloyd would turn to Herschel.
"Hey atleast you fell for a good one…." He'd chuckle as Herschel would look up at him.
"Like she said…..we're not a thing…."
"Oh but you will be…-he'd walk up and whisper to him-…..besides knowing Taffyta, Crumbelina and Candlehead…they'll make good on that promise…"
He'd walk back to his kart as Sticky would let out an annoyed sigh. "Can we just get this race started?"
"Sure sis…." Torvald would grin as the countdown would start the light above them staying red.
"Anyone want to bet on this race?" Taffyta would look around.
"Sure….if you finish ahead of me I'll pay at Tapper's…." Gloyd would smirk.
"Ok…if you beat me I owe you a kiss…" Gloyd would blush abit. "Deal!"
The light would turn green and they'd speed off Torvald shaking her head chuckling. "Now I want Gloyd to win…"
Heading into turn 1 Gloyd would check his mirrors and see Crumbelina and Minty right behind him. "Hopefully he'll slow down for the turn….." Minty would mutter as Gloyd would swerve to the side to get a better angle and Crumbelina would follow his line through the turn as Minty would overshoot the turn and would send her from 3rd to last. "That must suck for her…." Going up the hill towards turns 2 and 3 Crumbelina would pass him. "Still trying to beat me Crumbelina?" Crumbelina would smirk as she checks her mirrors. "I will since you have company…." Gloyd would check his mirrors curiously and see Taffyta, Herschel, Sticky and Candlehead all right on his heels as Minty would be a solid 15 karts distance behind.
Sticky and Candlehead would pass him in turn 2 having gotten better angles as Herschel and Taffyta would pass him in turn 3 when he'd be forced to slow down to avoid going off the track.
"See ya Gloyd…Can't wait for you to be buying for everyone!" She'd chuckle.
"Aw hell no!" Gloyd would speed through turn 3a as everyone would pick up items.
"Ice Cream Mortar!" The announcer would as Crumbelina would grin as her kart would spin around and she'd launch a large scoop of ice cream.
"INCOMING!" Taffyta would yell as she'd take off with a huge boast of speed as the announcer would shout. "Sugar Rush!"
Sticky would swerve to the right as Herschel would swerve to the left and the ice cream would land right on top of Candlehead as Gloyd and Minty pass her Crumbelina would put a hand over her mouth. "Whoops…." She'd spin back around just in time to see Taffyta take first. The racers would continue through the turns as Gloyd would work his way up to fifth right behind Herschel, Taffyta, Crumbelina and Sticky as they head for turn 6. "Gloyd picked up a power up and has yet to use it….I got a feeling he's planning something…..but what?" Taffyta would question herself as Sticky would overshoot turn 6 dropping down the fifth as Gloyd would smirk.
They'd go through turns 5-9 Gloyd working his way into third behind Taffyta and Herschel his smirk turning into a grin.
"What you smiling bout Gloyd?" Taffyta would glance in her mirror only to see Gloyd's grin grow wider as the head as the finish line would appear. "Hey Taffyta….just be glad you didn't bet more than you did…."
"Sugar Rush!" The announcer would yell as Gloyd would speed by both of them Taffyta sighing as Gloyd would speed pass the line and drive off the track. "That's what I'm talking about!" He'd jump out of his kart and fist pump the air as the others would walk over.
"Sorry Herschel…..the odds weren't in your favor…." He'd chuckle.
"Hey I already knew I wasn't going to win every race…..but do understand I'll be trying my damn best to tomorrow…"
"That's what I want to hear…" Torvald would walk over. "From what I've seen you are all ready for tomorrow…..they won't know what hit them…"
"Are we still going to Tapper's?" Candlehead would look around.
Taffyta would sigh. "Yea…..but Gloyd won't be paying…."
"Yea and you owe me something Taffyta….." He'd grin.
"Save that for later Orangeboar…you might get more out of it…." She'd walk for her kart as Gloyd would turn red.
"And whose the red one now?" Herschel would chuckle as he'd crosss his arms.
"Don't start Nougatson….besides this is a triple date anyway…." They'd leave as Minty and Torvald would lean against the wall.
"So there going on a triple date….what are you gonna do?" Minty would look at Torvald.
"I'm just gonna go watch Vanellope's team practice….and make sure she isn't altering their karts to make them unbeatable…" Torvald would look at her.
"Well I'm just gonna stay here for a few more minutes….then I'll either head home or to GCS….whatever I decide to do…."
Torvald would nod and leave as Minty would let out a sigh.
"It's been a long month and a half…." She'd sigh again as Vanellope would appear beside her.
"Mostly because you guys have been trying to undermine me…." She'd lean against the wall.
"What do you want Vanellope?" Minty would cross her arms.
"Your gonna return the favour…."
"What favour?!" Minty would be angered.
"The favour you owe me for sparing Torvald…..besides it's easy…..throw the race you take part in tomorrow…."
"And if I flat out refuse?"
Vanellope would grin. "Then when your team loses not only will I turn Torvald into a glitch….I'll turn you aswell…."
Minty would turn to her shocked. "What?!"
Vanellope would chuckle. "You heard me…."
"I won't let you turn her into 1 Vanellope!"
"Then do what I told you…..and I'll consider it…."
"Fine!"
"Good….." Vanellope would glitch away as Minty would sigh. "This day just gets better and better…..-She'd go to leave and would run into Swizzle-…..and now it just got worse…."
Swizzle would take a step back. "Sorry…."
"No problem Swizzle." She'd go for the exit.
"Can we talk for a minute?"
Minty would turn around. "About what? You've made it clear time and time again whose side your on…..we don't need you…."
She'd go to leave and he'd sigh. "Torvald said the same thing….and I don't blame you seeing the shit show of the last month and a half…but I still thought you'd atleast listen…."
Minty would stop her back to him. "What do you have to say that would be worth listening?"
Swizzle would sigh. "I heard your conversation with Vanellope…..I know a way I can help…."
Minty would turn around and face him. "What did you have in mind?"
"Well we it look like you do try to have a bad finish….but at the end I could spin out and take someone with me…..you'd get a good finish and Vanellope would see that you tried to do badly…"
Minty would cross her arms. "Why are you helping all of a sudden?"
Swizzle would sigh again. "Turns out the "winning" side isn't always the right side…."
Minty would look at him surprised. "I never thought you'd admit it…."
"Yea yea…..but I'll leave you alone now…." He'd begin walking away when Minty would appear beside him.
"How about we just take a walk together? We don't have anything better to do…."
"Fine by me…." Swizzle would smile.
(Meanwhile)
Gloyd, Taffyta, Candlehead, Crumbelina, Herschel and Sticky would sit in a booth as Tapper would come over.
"I see you all got older….and we got a new one aswell?"
They'd nod.
"Name is Herschel by the way Tapper…." Herschel would look at him.
"I'll be sure to keep that in mind…..what would you folks like to eat?"
"Get us 6 burgers and 6 root beers please…and uh Tapper….you owe me….so this will be on the house…." Gloyd would snicker as Tapper would sigh.
"You have to stop that…."
Gloyd would glare at him. "I've taken the fall for you many many many times Tapper….so expect me too….we even had an agreement…." He'd cross his arms as Tapper would sigh again.
"Your orders will be ready soon….." He'd leave and bring back root beer for them then leave to another table.
"So how you guys feeling about tomorrow?" Crumbelina would break the silence.
"I'm ready…..I'm not losing another tournament…." Taffyta would take a sip of her drink.
"I'm ready for whatever they throw at me on the track." Gloyd would take a swig of his.
"I'm excited…" Candlehead would lean on Crumbelina.
"I'm just eager to race against the others…" Herschel would take a swig of his drink as Sticky would look down.
"I'm nervous as heck…..can't stop thinking of what might happen if we lose…."
"It'll be ok….Torvald wouldn't have started all this unless she knew we could win….she's got confidence in us and for good reason…" Herschel would a reassuring arm around her as everyone would awe.
"Really?" He'd look at them.
"Yup they haven't done a thing and your already pulling moves!" He'd laugh but stop when Taffyta would punch his arm.
"Put a sock in it Gloyd…."
(10 minutes later after they ate)
"So what do you girls want to do now?" Gloyd would ask curiously as music would start playing.
"How about some dancing?" Crumbelina would drag Candlehead out onto the dance floor as Gloyd and Taffyta would get up. "You love birds coming?" He'd look over at Herschel and Sticky.
"Common…..Hersch buddy trust me you don't want them to drag you out…."
Herschel would look at Sticky. "Want to dance?"
She'd blush. "Sure…"
He'd take her by the hand and bring her to the dance floor.
Taffyta would turn to Gloyd. "Have them play a slow song please…..you'll be rewarded if you do…"
Gloyd would have the music changed and Herschel would hold Sticky close.
"Sticky? Can I ask you something?"
"Sure what is it Herschel?"
"I just wanted to know…if you would like being in a relationship with me…."
Sticky would turn red. "Y-yes…I'd love too…" They'd kiss as the song comes to an end.
"I honestly thought this wouldn't work…." Gloyd would cross his arms as Crumbelina would smack the back of his head.
"You underestimate us Gloyd…."
Gloyd would sigh. "I will never get girls…." He'd mutter as the couples would head back to Sugar Rush. "That was a successful night…." Taffyta would chuckle as Candlehead would lean on Crumbelina as they walk.
"If we do lose this tournament and I get banned from racing…promise you'll win one for me?"
Crumbelina would put an arm around her. "I'd dominate for you….but let's not think about that…"
They enter the game and would part ways, Herschel and Sticky going to Herschel's house, Taffyta bringing Gloyd to her home, and Crumbelina and Candlehead would walk in Candy Cane forest and would lay down in a clearing in the words looking up at the night sky.
"Beautiful isn't it? Just me you and the bright shining moon…." Crumbelina would put her hands behind her head.
"Trying to imply something dirty Crumbelina?" Candlehead would laugh as Crumbelina would turn red.
"No not at all…." Crumbelina would still look up at the sky.
"You think Herschel and Sticky will last?" Candlehead would look over at her.
"If Herschel doesn't mess up yes…." Crumbelina would look at Candlehead.
(10 minutes pass)
Candlehead would sit up. "I think she would head home…"
"Sure…wanna stay at my place for the night?" Crumbelina would stand up and help her up.
"Sure I'd love too." Candlehead would lean on her as they walk back and head to Crumbelina's room.
Candlehead would take off her hat and blow out the candle. "I assume there was a reason you wanted me to spend the night…."
"Of course there was candles…" Crumbelina would kiss her as both would fall onto her bed.
(Meanwhile)
Torvald would head home having spent her time watching Vanellope's team practice. "It doesn't look like she's cheating so far….but I shouldn't let my guard down…"
Minty's voice would startle her. "Sis if anything we have the advantage…."
Torvald would turn around to see Minty and Swizzle holding hands. "And what advantage would that be?"
Minty would smile. "We have an inside man….Swizzle is here to help."
Torvald would smile. "Swizzle….I was wondering what was taking you so long…."
"Well….I had wanted to tell you…..but I didn't get the chance…."
"Well you should have told me before…..either way…it's good to have you back on the right side…."
