Chapter 7
The day was here! Everyone was excited about the day but the only problem was that they were all in their games getting ready for the night. No one was in Game Central Station. People were excited but except one….Ralph.
Over at Fix-It Felix Jr Ralph woke up very nervous. He got up out of bed and wiped his mouth until he felt something on his face. It was much rougher than before. He noticed the area around his mouth was much more rougher than his jaw line.
Ralph: What the? Where did that come from? WHY TODAY?
Ralph brushed his teeth and ran to Felix.
"FELIX?!"
"Yes buddy." Said Felix running down from the penthouse. "Whoa….. Your face!? "
"Felix what's wrong with my face!?"
"You grew a stubble and a short circle goatee."
"A what?"
"Come with me."
Ralph followed Felix to his apartment. Felix took him to the bathroom. Ralph went and looked at himself in the mirror.
"Whoa"
"Personally Ralph I think you look even better."
"You think"
"Yep. Just don't let it grow too big"
"Okay. How comes you didn't grow it?"
"Umm….I actually did but I shaved it off"
"Can I?"
"Don't man. You look better like this."
"You sure?"
"Yep" smiled Felix.
"Thanks Felix. You're probably the best brother anyone can have." smiled Ralph.
"Hey…Have you got anything to wear today?"
"I don't know what to wear…. Help?"
"Yeah I'll help."
"Thanks bro."
They walked to Ralph's house and Ralph took him to his room. He opened his big blue closet.
"Well my clothes are here."
"Okay let me find something."
Felix looked in Ralphs closet and found a few suits but didn't like them until he found the perfect one.
"This one is perfect!"
"Where did you find that?"
"Well… In your closet!"
"I never saw it in there."
"Probably because you didn't know you could access your code in here."
"Seriously"
"Cool…let me see"
Ralph walked over and looked in his closet to find his code on the back. He tapped on his clothing and found millions.
"Whoa! It's cool right"
"Yep it sure is."
They both smiled.
"What did you buy for Calhoun?"
"Can't tell"
"Why? I'll tell you what I brought"
"Fine….I brought her a teddy bear"
"Aww"
"So what did you buy and for who?"
"It's for Peach and Vanellope."
"Aww so what did you buy them."
"I brought Peach a peach"
"Seriously?"
"No just kidding. I brought her a little pearl bracelet."
"And… Vanellope?"
"A diamond set which includes a necklace, bracelet and earrings"
"Nice dude. They sure are going to be happy."
"I hope so…"
"Well….WOULD YOU LOOK AT THE TIME! ITS 5 o'clock"
"We better get changed see you after I've changed"
"See you brother."
Ralph brushed his teeth and had a shower. He was as fresh as a daisy. He got out of the shower and put on his boxers. Later he walked to his room and wore the suit which Felix chose for him. It was a Bordeaux red suit with a black tie and white shirt. Hair was the usual, messy, but had a small twist. It had a quiff at the front. He was wearing black suede derby shoes with maroon laces.
Ralph: Finally….I'm ready.
Ralph grabbed the gifts gently until…
Ralph: Wait a minute….if I take both of the gifts then they are both going to think they're the same and might get offended so think I'll leave Vanellope's gift here and give it to her later.
Ralph went out the front door with Princess Peach's gift in his hand. The gift was wrapped with gold wrapping paper as well as a bow and ribbon on top. He walked proudly towards the penthouse waiting for Felix outside his door.
"Felix….you ready?"
Felix opened the door.
"Ye….Whoa! Ralph you look…..umm….good."
"So do you?"
"I do?"
"Yep"
Felix was wearing a navy blue suit with a white shirt.
"I like the colour of your suit Felix. I looks good on you"
"Will Calhoun like it?"
"DEFINITELY!"
"Thanks Brother."
"Any day… so shall we…"
"Yep"
They both walked out their game and said goodbye. Ralph walked over to Super Mario Bros. He stood outside the castle and waited. After a few moments the door opened…out stepped Peach.
Ralph: Whoa! She looks…umm…really pretty. Well…what do I expect she's the prettiest program?!
Princess Peach was wearing a red and white dress which was similar to her pink one but was a lot nicer and pretty.
Princess Peach: What? How did he grow a goatee so fast….I think in two days? How? He looks so…manlier now. It makes him so much more attractive! I can't believe I'm going with him to the party!
"Hi Ralph"
"Hi Peach. You look really pretty." he said whilst he hid the present behind his back.
"I do?" she blushed.
"You sure do."
"Thanks. What are you doing behind your back?"
"Umm…." he took out his hands out of his back and gave her the gift.
"Ralph….you didn't have to."
"Take it….it's an offering from me on New Year" he smiled.
Peach smiled at Ralph and opened it. Once opened… she opened the box. The bracelet glistened.
"WOW. It's so pretty Ralph…. thank you."
She placed a hand on his cheek and kissed him on the opposite one. The moment was quite awkward. He blushed and so did she. She opened the castle door and told the keeper to take the gift box inside and slid the bracelet on her hand. It sparked every time her wrist moved.
"Shall we…Ralph?"
"Umm…yeah."
She wrapped his hand around hers whilst the exited Super Mario Bros. They both entered Dance Dance Revolution and there was a gasp. Everyone looked at Ralph in shock due to his goatee.
Yuni: OMG! Ralph looks extra hot today. His facial hair made him even more attractive.
"Ralph and Princess Peach have just entered the building" announced Yuni with a light sigh on the DJ stand.
Ralph looked around to find everyone staring at him.
"Come on guys….this is a party not a staring contest" he said in embarrassment.
Ralph walked towards an empty table and sat down with Peach. After they sat down… everything was normal again.
"Phew!"
Yuni walked over to Ralph and placed her hands on his shoulders.
"Do you guys need anything like refreshment?"
"Umm….no not right now thanks" replied Peach.
"Alright just call me if you need anything." smiled Yuni.
Yuni: I touched him! OMG!
Peach looked around to see DDR slowly starting to get fuller.
"Luigi and Daisy have just entered the building." announced Yuni on the DJ stand.
"Daisy's here…YES!" yelped Peach.
Daisy and Luigi spotted Peach with Ralph and joined them. They sat down greeting Ralph. The minute Daisy sat down…Peach and Daisy started chatting non-stop. Luigi sat on the opposite side of Ralph and talked about things with him.
Ralph: WOW! Luigi looks much better than Mario. The only thing I don't get is why hasn't Mario upgraded?!Anyway… I guess this evening isn't going that bad so far but when are the others going to come?
