"howdy there how may I help you?" he asks us "is the our Felix here?" I ask him he looks over his shoulder and I look around him and see our Felix sitting on the couch he sees us and waves "howdy there kids!" he says standing up other Felix steps out of our way and gestures for us to enter Vanellope runs in dragging me behind her we jump onto the couch and get comfortable "where's Ralph?" Felix asks sitting down next to us "he went up the stairs" I say leaning my head on the back of the couch.
I close my eyes while the Felix's talk to Vanellope ready to rest but Vanellope is trying to keep me awake "Josh I'm bored" she says poking me in the face I turn my head away from her and close my eyes tighter she keeps poking me but I ignore her and begin to fall asleep and when I do I find my self back in the forest walking through it a bowstring around my neck quiver on my back I'm walking to my hunting tree.
I get there and climb half way up and sit on a branch I grab my bow and string and load an arrow I lean my back onto the tree and wait it felt like hours but the sun has barely moved a deer has wandered into shooting range I aim at it pull the string I aim for the heart and release the string sending the arrow flying towards its heart it hits and the deer falls I jump down and walk over to it I kneel down next to it and pull put my sword ready to skin it when I hear some growling I look up and see several pairs of eyes peering at me from a bush.
I stand up and point my sword at them one of them walks out of the bush and I see that it is a wolf "come on guys I need this more than you do" I say stepping towards the deer the wolf bends it's front legs ready to pounce and it does I grab it's neck midair and thrust my sword into it's chest and throw it behind me I pull my sword put as the wolf hits the ground I turn around just as one of the other wolves pounce on me knocking me onto the ground I grab it's head and try to push it off me as it tries biting me.
I look to my right and see my sword on the ground I reach for it but it's just out of my reach I kick the wolf off of me and roll over to my sword I jump over it and grab it I land on my feet the wolf jumps at me again and I trust the sword straight into it's face it falls limp and slides off my sword I look back at the deer and see a couple wolves devouring it I run over and start swinging my sword at them they run back into the bushes and are gone.
I pick at the deer seeing if there is any salvageable meat but there isn't I sigh as my stomach growls I stand up shake my head "another meal lost?" I hear Reginald ask I nod my head "damn wolves attacked me" I say turning around and face him and he's kneeling next to one of the wolves he pulls out a knife and starts skinning the wolf he looks up and shrugs "we could use them for blankets or something" he says getting all the fur off the wolf.
We finish skinning the wolves and we head back to Reginald's boat we get there and we clean the wolf fur Reginald takes the fur and he sows two blankets together one for me and one for him "not bad eh?" he says wrapping the blanket around himself I smile and stand up "not bad at all buddy" I say wrapping the blanket around me "well now we can stay warm on out stake outs" he says taking the blanket off of him and hanging it on the railing of the ship.
I do the same with my blanket "so what shall we do now?" he asks me leaning on the rail I shrug "we have all day have you been out side our game yet?" I ask him he shakes his head "no not yet" he tells me "I haven't either" I say jumping off the boat onto shore "where are you going?" he asks me "I'm going to see how the outside of our game is" I tell him walking towards the exit I get to the exit tunnel of my game and stop outside of it I take a deep breath and enter the tunnel I'm walking through it and it's dark for a minute until a light appears at the end I cover my eyes from the light as I enter game central station for the first time.
I look around at all the game characters doing their own thing walking to their games or other games "wow this place is cool" I say to my self as I step through the gate way a blue light flashes and blue man appears in front of me scaring me I jump onto him and knock him to the ground his glasses fly off and hit the ground and I start hitting him he throws his arms in front of his face trying to block my punches he flashes and disappears I forward and hit the ground I look up and see a couple characters looking at me I stand up and brush my self off I force a smile and keep walking through game central station.
As I'm walking through the crowd I bump into somebody I look up and see that it was Billy he turns around and looks down at me I turn around and try and walk away but he picks me up by the back of the collar and turns me to face him he brings me up to eye level "what's the big idea kid?" he asks me I shrug "I didn't see you" I tell him he narrows his eyes "alright kid what ever" he says dropping me I land on my butt and look back up I stand up "hey jerk wad" I say pointing a finger at him he looks back at me and crosses his arms "what is it?" "what's with dropping me" "I can already tell you are going to get on my nerves kid beat it" he says shooing me away and turning back towards some of the other enemies I narrow my eyes and walk up next to him "hey I'm not done talking to you" I say pushing his leg.
He looks back down at me and kneels down "kid you better scram or I'll make you scram" he says poking me in the chest I cross my arms "and how are you going to do that?" I ask him he cracks his knuckles and stands back up "like this" he says grabbing me by the collar and lifting me up he holds me with one hand as he pulls back his other he punches me and I fly into the wall I slide down the wall and hit the ground I shake my head and stand back up I lean on the wall with one hand and hold my cheek with the other I look back at him and he's laughing I walk back to my game and enter the tunnel "yeah well I wont be coming out here for a while" I say entering my game I go back to Reginald's and grab my blanket "what the heck happened to you?" Reginald asks me "oh nothing" I say as I jump off the boat and head back to my tree house I jump in and lay down with my new blanket and fall asleep.
I wake up again and I'm back in Felix's apartment I look to my left and see that Vanellope has fallen asleep I look to my right and see Ralph sitting on the floor he looks and sees that I have woken up "hey there kid my names Ralph" he says extending a finger to me I grab it and shake it "hello I'm Josh" I say letting go of his finger "well Josh its good to meet you" "the pleasures all mine mr wreck-it" I say as I pull my arm from under Vanellope I rub it as I roll my shoulder "how long was I asleep?" I ask Ralph he shrugs "I just got here" he tells me standing up.
I walk over to the window and look open it I lean out the window and I can see my Ralph outside with both Felix's and I think our Calhoun sitting outside I smile and wave at them but they cant see me I look back into the apartment and I see that other Ralph is heading to the door "well we better go see the others" he says opening the door "you go ahead I'm going to wait for Vanellope to wake up" I tell him sitting down on the couch he nods and walks out closing the door behind him I lift Vanellopes head and put her head back onto my arm I sit quietly waiting for her to wake up.
Finally after a couple she does I look down at her as she sits up and rubs her eyes "oh hey Josh" she says while she crosses her legs "have a nice nap?" I ask her she nods her head "yes very good" she says laying down on my arm again I lift her head off me and stand up she start pouting and she crosses her arms I smile and extend my hand to her she grabs it and I help her off the couch "come on lets go see the others" I say pulling her to the door.
We exit the apartment and we walk over to Ralph and the others "hey kids have a good sleep?" Ralph asks us I nod "yeah we did" I say as we sit down next to them "so what's the plan for getting home?" Vanellope asks one of the Ralph's shrugs "we don't yet were still planning" he says "well can you plan I little faster?" she asks him "were trying but we still don't know which door we came from" our Ralph says "well the paper clip must know which door we came from" Vanellope says running for the exit.
I jump up and follow her she jumps onto the train and I do the same me and Vanellope look back and we see the others getting up as the train pulls away "so if we find the paper clip that took us here then we can find our way home" I say as the train makes it's way through the tunnel Vanellope nods and grabs my hand "I can't wait to go home" she says as the train stops in the game central station look alike we jump off the train and run for the door we get to the door and I open it.
I lean out the door and turn my head searching for the paper clip "do you see him?" Vanellope asks me I shake my head "no there's too many people in this place" I say stepping out the door "well last time we just called him and he appeared" she says stepping outside the door and standing next to me "alright call him" I say leaning on the building we exited "fine I'll call him" she says stepping closer to the crowd of people she makes a circle with her hands and places her now circled hands around her mouth "hey mister paper clip are you out there!" she yells after a couple of minutes and still no response Ralph Felix and Calhoun have caught up to us.
I jump onto Ralph's shoulders and begin searching the through the crowd "did you guys find him?" Ralph asks me I shake my head "no not yet" I tell him I step onto the top of his head and start jumping I see Vanellope running through the crowd I look down and see that Vanellope is still standing next to Ralph's leg I look back to the crowd and see the other Vanellope jumping through the crowd "guys I found another Vanellope" I say sitting on Ralph's head "yeah I saw her too" Ralph says taking me off his head and placing me on his shoulder.
"so what if there's another me you guys aren't replacing me" Vanellope says crossing her arms "I don't know she might not be rude" Ralph says "or abusive" I add rubbing my shoulder I look down at Vanellope and she has her bottom lip curled out and she's tapping her foot I laugh and look back to the crowd Vanellope jumps onto Ralph's other shoulder she reaches around his head and punches me in the shoulder and I fall off of Ralph and hit the ground I shake my head "I think my point has been made" I say rubbing my shoulder.
She crosses her arms again and looks away I jump back onto Ralph's shoulder and keep looking around "screw this I'm going to look for the door my self" I say jumping off of Ralph's shoulder and try and run into the crowd but I get picked up by Ralph and he lifts me up "no you are staying with us" he says putting me back onto his shoulder I cross my arms "why am I staying with you guys?" I ask "the last time you went some here by your self we wound up lost on the internet" Calhoun says walking up next to us "well technically we wound up lost in my game" I say standing up on Ralph's shoulder.
Ralph looks at me "well either way we wound up lost" he says walking towards the crowd "well I got us out too" I say looking away from him I look around but can't see the paper clip any where I sigh "does any one know how big the Internet is?" I ask "too big" Calhoun says to me I spot a bunch of familiar faces but I know they're not the ones I know "how many people like us do you think are out there?" I ask no one in particular "hundreds most likely but there could be thousands" Calhoun says searching through the crowd.
I sigh "so there are hundreds of me's out there?" I ask Ralph shakes his head "I doubt it how many you's have left their games and joined sugar rush?" he asks I shrug "I have no idea" I say looking through the crowd "where is that paper clip?" Vanellope asks "he could be any where" Ralph tells her Vanellope sighs and looks down at the ground "don't worry we will find him" I tell her she looks up at me and smiles "I know Josh I just want it to be sooner rather than later" she says I nod my head "me too sweet pea me too".
I jump back onto Ralph's head and start jumping again "Ralph do you have any idea where you're going?" I ask him he shakes his head almost making me fall off "I have no idea" he says "well your going to get us lost" I tell him he shrugs "wouldn't be the first time we got lost" he says "we could be stuck here forever" I say sitting down on his head and crossing my legs "no we won't" Vanellope says looking at me I shake my head.
I look at her "we could get lost and never get back home" I tell her "Josh shut up!" she yells as she looks away from me crossing her arms I shake my head and look away from her I spot a big door with above it I look down at the others "steam is what they use in a sauna right?" Calhoun nods "okay cool I've never been in a sauna before" I say as I jump off of Ralph's shoulder and run for the big door "hey private get back here!" I hear Calhoun yell as I open the big door and jump in.
