Thank all of you for the reviews! You've all been so nice! Thank you! I just want to warn you guys that Rancis is kinda creepy in this...0_o
Vanellope eyes fluttered open, she saw nothing but darkness. She tried to move but her hand and feet were bound to a wall or something. As she struggled to get free she heard a low and menacing chuckle.
"Don't struggle my sweet, you'll hurt yourself and we wouldn't want that," the same voice that the chuckle came from said.
"Who's there?" Vanellope asked frantically.
"Here, I'll show you."
Vanellope's vision was restored as the blindfold was removed. She could now clearly see she was in the diet cola mentos volcano, except it didn't look like how she left it. It looked like some kind of evil lair for a billionaire villain and speaking of villain, Rancis didn't look the same either. His normally tame hair had become rather messy and looked like he had devils horns on both sides of his head. His normal entire was darker, almost black, and ripped. He wore a regal orange cape and a golden crown on his head.
"Rancis...what are you wearing dude?" Vanellope said, stifling a giggle.
"Do you like it? I think it gives me a little extra something," Ranics said as he spun around and modeled it for her.
"Oh it's something alright..." Vanellope replied sweetly, not wanting to hurt his feelings.
"I glad you like it! After all, I did it for you," Rancis said with a blush and smile as he went over to the nearby table and came back with two glasses and a carton of chocolate milk.
"For me? But Rancis, why? You looked fine before."
"Oh my darling Vanellope, your kindness truly knows no bounds! I will admit I wasn't exactly shabby before, but I wasn't good enough for you...so I made myself better!"
"Aw butterfingers what are you talking about? You shouldn't change yourself for me or anybody else! I'm flattered that you'd do that for me, but I liked the old, sweet Rancis," Vanellope said sincerely as Rancis poured her a glass of milk and freed her left hand, placing the glass in it.
"I know Vanellope. You liked me so much that you helped me win a race when no one else cared. You liked me so much that you brought me into your private little world after the race and showed me places in Sugar Rush that I'd never been and Ralph had yet to see. You liked me so much...that you gave me a kiss in a candy cane tree...and I liked you so much, I wanted to become better for you. I wanted to win more races and be more than just Rancis. You, the benevolent ruler of Sugar Rush, deserve so much more...especially after all those years of abuse—"
"Rancis I'm over that! You guys's memory was locked up, you couldn't remember who I was an-"
"That is still no excuse for how cruel we were to you! Not allowing you to race was one thing, but leaving you out in the cold all alone and going out of our way to hurt you...Vanellope we were monsters to you. I wish you hadn't been joking about the execution, because every last one of us deserved it," Rancis said, throwing his glass of milk to the floor with a crash and crying soon afterward.
"Oh Fluggerbutter don't cry, excuse the cliche, but there's no use crying over spilled milk," Vanellope said sweetly making Rancis giggle.
"Oh Vanellope, you always know what to say to make things better," Rancis said, wiping his face and going over to hug her.
"Rancis, Do you mind if I ask you something?"
"Of course not, ask me anything!"
"Why do you have me shackled to a wall?"
"Oh that's because I don't want you to get hurt when I execute my evil plan!"
"Oh...wait, what?! What do you mean your evil plan?!"
"Don't fret sweet Vanellope, I'll tell you everything soon, but I have an appointment I must attend and must, until then my minions will keep you entertained. Oh minions!" Rancis whistled and three red jelly beans came marching out.
"Rancis wait! What's going on?! Rancis!"
Rancis left blowing Vanellope a kiss as she struggled against the chains and his jellybean minions guarded her.
