"Ralph, what happened to Vanellope?!" Felix panicked, reaching for his hammer.

"Well, long story short, she got into a bad kart accident," Ralph said, gently placing Vanellope on the ground, using his hand to help her sit up.

"Jeepers! Well, don't worry, Brother, she'll be fine momentarily!"

Ding-Ding! Ding-Ding! Ding-Ding!

"There you go, Vanellope! Do you feel better?" Felix questioned, hoping he fixed her enough.

Vanellope jumped up, "Yeah!"

"Are you sure?" Ralph asked, "Not even a little sore?"

"Well, maybe a little bit, but it's not that bad!" Vanellope smiled, "Now let's go! I've got a race to win!" she jumped up, and headed for the exit.

Ralph picked her up easily from the hood of her sweatshirt, "No, you don't. I told you that you're not racing anymore today or tomorrow so you can rest." Ralph reminded the girl.

Vanellope scoffed and rolled her eyes, "I told ya, I'm fine! Now put me down, Numskull!"

"Nope. You're not racing today, even if you have to stay in Fix-It Felix Jr."

"Oh yeah?" Vanellope tested, "Where would I stay then, huh?"

Ralph thought for a second, "...My house. I'll lock you in." he smirked.

"That's not a good idea, Ralphie..." Vanellope tsked, her voice pitching.

"Why ever not?" Ralph said in a teasing tone, "There's food, water, a bathroom, a good bed for you to sleep on. And a guarantee that you won't be racing and get some rest."

Vanellope sighed, "Aw, c'mon, Ralph, I'll get bored!"

"Which will force you to sleep from boredom." Ralph smirked.

"...I taught you well, Ralph. Too well."

"ARCADE OPENS IN FIVE MINUTES!" was shouted through out the arcade.

"Okay, Kid, I gotta go now." Ralph said as he tucked Vanellope in his bed (it was the only bed he had, so it was the only place Vanellope could sleep, really, unless she wanted to sleep on the floor...), "Promise me you'll get some rest, alright?"

Vanellope saluted from where she lay.

Ralph raised an eyebrow, "I'll take that as a yes." he made his way towards the door, "I'll be back when the arcade closes,"

"I'll be here," Vanellope said, as if it wasn't obvious enough.

Ralph waved good-bye, and closed, and locked, the door.

Vanellope lie there for a few minutes, listening to the ticking of the clock on Ralph's nightstand. Every now and then she would hear the game going on. She wasn't really tired, though. Maybe a little bit, but not enough to allow her to go to sleep. She sat up and hopped down from Ralph's bed. She looked around Ralph's room. It wasn't much, really. It was big enough for Ralph, though, and defiantly big enough for Vanellope. Not that it mattered, considering she isn't the one who lives there. She looked at his walls. They were white, and there wasn't anything- wait a minute.

On the left wall, there was something hanging from a thumbtack...

It was Vanellope's You're My Hero medal. Right there, where Ralph could wake up and see it everyday. Vanellope smiled her adorable smile. He kept it somewhere where it would be safe, and it would be close to him. Where it would be there for him almost whenever he needed it. It was something Ralph held close to him, and reminded him that he was loved and cared for. It reminded him that he was someone's hero. Being Vanellope's hero was his duty- and it was a big duty!

Vanellope stood there for a while longer, thinking about how good a friend Ralph was- even if he does smell, she thought.

Eventually she climbed back onto Ralph's bed, and attempted to take a small nap. It's not like she had anything better to do anyways.

Yeah, I know, I'm kinda getting off the Vanilla Butter stuff... but there should be some more after the next chapter at least! Until then, enjoy some Ralph and Vanellope friendship cuteness! :D

Hope you all enjoyed!
