Chapter Ten
Queen Candy Says It All
Elsewhere in the Sugar Rush kingdom, Calhoun and Felicia were still flying around in the spaceship, Felicia fantasizing about Calhoun half of the way. However, she didn't know that the following words she was about to say would really traumatize Calhoun, "Al, be Calhoun! You're one dynamite guy!"
Those words hit Calhoun like a bomb. He began to envision him and Dr. Bethany Scott on their first encounter, dates, and most importantly, the wedding day, right before the Dr. got eaten. All throughout the flashback, he heard Bethany say, 'You're one dynamite guy!'
"GET OUT!" Calhoun screamed, almost in tears. He slowed down the spaceship, landing it safely to the ground.
Felicia was shocked at the sudden change of Calhoun's behavior, "Al, be, Calhoun. All I said was that you were one dynamite guy-"
"I SAID GET OUT!" And with that, Calhoun lost control of his anger, and threw Felicia out of the spaceship, and this time, he wasn't sorry for hurting a lady. As Felicia fell on to the ground, he immediately started up the spaceship again, and flew away, so Felicia wouldn't follow him.
Felicia sighed, and suddenly realized that she would have to look for Rhonda all on her own, in this humungous video game full of candy. Now, where would she start?
Meanwhile, inside Queen Candy's castle, the Queen un-locked a secret passageway at the back of the game. She angrily strode through it, Sour Belle walking nervously and hesitantly behind her, holding a large, red piece of licorice. Suddenly, she ran as the Queen came to a halt.
The Queen held up a napkin from Tipper's and flipped it over. There, was a code. Her eyes then settled on the large GameBoy advance controller, "Up down, eh eh, eh, and start." She mumbled, copying the code from the napkin.
The automatic door opened, and inside, was a confusing pattern of glowing blue lights, all labelled with a different item, "Ooh, the code! It's the sweet life-block of the game!" And with that, she jumped inside the room, the rope wrapped tightly around her waist.
She floated through the code with ease, "Hm...race courses, no...Jumbo-Trons, no...aha!" Her eyes finally settled on one blue box, "The winner's cup!" She touched the box, and suddenly, many pictures of gold coins appeared. Queen Candy scrolled through the large amount of coins, "One of these things, it's not like the other, it's you!" She exclaimed, taking out the small box which contained Rhonda's medal.
"Now, we're going to give you a nice, new home!" She giggled, floating towards her own code box. She put the smaller code into her own code, and suddenly, out of thin air, Rhonda's medal appeared, right around Queen Candy's neck, "Ha, ha! Success! Thour Belle, I'm going out! You're in charge of the castle until I get back!" And with that, she was pulled out of the game's code, locking the door behind her.
Back at Diet Cola Mountain, Vancent happily skipped outside, "Yes! I'm finally gonna race!" He exclaimed, Rhonda pushing his kart behind him. Suddenly, his smile dropped, "But Rhonda, what if the gamers don't like me?"
"Aw, c'mon, the gamers will love you." Rhonda smiled; Vancent blushed a little, "And y'know why? Because you're a winner."
"I'm a winner." Vancent copied, putting his fists towards his chest in determination.
"And you're adorable." Rhonda finished; and that was actually the truth, too. Vancent was pretty adorable. Much more adorable then any of the other little racing brats any day.
"I'm adorable!" Vancent retorted, "I'm a winner and I'm adorable!" He jumped up and down with delight; Rhonda was pretty surprised. She knew little kids had a lot of energy, but she had never met someone with as much energy as Vancent. Well, she figured that came along with the candy-coated world. Hyperactive children. Suddenly, Vancent seemed to have forgotten something, "Oh Rhonda, before we head to the race, I forgot something! I'll be right back!" And with that, he jumped back into Diet Cola Mountain.
Rhonda smiled; she was really, really happy for Vancent. However, that pleasant thought was took out of her mind as soon as she heard the happy, hyperactive noise of Queen Candy's kart, "Hello, Rhonda!" Queen Candy waved her cartoonish hand, "I come alone, un-armed!"
"You," Rhonda spat angrily; she couldn't care less if Queen Candy was the Queen or not. She was getting fed up of this annoying woman interfering everything, "I've had enough of you pedal pants!"
The Queen yelped a little and quickly hid behind a large rock made out of some sort of candy. However, Rhonda easily picked it up and threw it over her shoulder, "AND I'M GONNA BEAT THE FILLING OUTTA' YOU!" She screamed.
"Ha, ha, you wouldn't hit a girl with glasses, now would you?" The Queen nervously put on a giant pair of glasses. Rhonda groaned and picked up the glasses, and hit it on the Queen's head, "You hit a girl with glasses...that's well played..."
Rhonda groaned once again and picked up Queen Candy by the collar of her shirt, "What do you want Candy?" She asked coldly.
"L-Listen," Queen Candy stuttered nervously, "I just want to talk to you." Rhonda settled her down on the ground, "I know you've been looked around for something, so, are you interested, in this?" Suddenly, she held up Rhonda's medal.
Rhonda couldn't believe it; she had thought the Queen said you couldn't get it back until someone won the race at the end, "H-How did you get that?" She asked.
"It doesn't matter, but it's yours!" The Queen exclaimed, but then, her smiled faded, "But I ask is that you hear me out. It's...about Vancent racing..."
"Why are you people so against him!?" Rhonda asked; she was actually wondering that for a long time, probably ever since she met Vancent. Why did everyone hate him? Just because he was a little different, didn't mean he didn't had to treated like everyone else was.
"I'm not against him, I'm trying to protect him!" The Queen sighed, "You've left me no choice but to tell. See, if Vancent wins that race, he'll be added to the race roster. Then gamers can choose him as the avatar. But, when they see him glitching, and glitching, and just being his general self, they'll think our game's broken...we'll be put out of order for good...but there's one who can't escape because, he's a glitch...when the game's plug get's pulled...he'll die with it..." She finished sadly.
Rhonda was breathless; she couldn't believe what she had just heard, "You don't know that'll happen. The gamers could love him."
"And...if they don't..." The Queen sighed, "He can't race, Rhonda. But, he won't listen to me, so can I count on you to talk a little sense into him." Rhonda nodded her head, "Very good. Look, I know it's tough, but hero's have to make the tough choices, don't they? I-I'll leave you two some...time alone..." She handed Rhonda her medal back. And after that, slowly walked towards her kart and drove away.
Rhonda couldn't believe that all this time, the Queen was trying to protect Vancent. But, that didn't explain why the other racers destroyed his previous kart. However, there was no time to think about that now, as he heard Vancent coming back. She quickly tucked the medal inside her shirt pocket, since she didn't want her little friend to know what she was doing previously.
"Hey, I'm back! Did I miss anything?" He asked ironically; he had missed an awful lot, in fact, but Rhonda didn't have the heart to tell him.
"Nope, but look, Vancent-" Before Rhonda could continue, Vancent had interrupted him.
"One moment, one moment, knelled before me!" Rhonda knelled in front of Vancent, "Now, close your little eyes!" Vancent giggled; Rhonda sighed and did what her friend had asked her. Vancent placed something into Rhonda's hand, "Now, open them!"
In Rhonda's hand was a small, love-heart cookie. There was some sort of ribbon that was lopped around it, implying that Rhonda could wear it. On the cookie itself, there was brown frosting and white frosting said in neat handwriting, "To Stinkbrain." Rhonda read out, "Gee, thanks."
"Wait, turn it over." Vancent smiled.
Rhodna did was her friend asked and turned the cookie. One the other side, there was turquoise frosting, and white frosting which said, 'You're my friend.' Rhonda felt her heart melt; this kid really looked up to her like a hero. Well, could you blame him? All his life, he had been tormented, and then, along came Rhonda, who was suddenly nice to him.
"Now, rise my royal chum!" Vancent exclaimed, talking like a prince, "I've gotta date with destiny!" He exclaimed, hopping into his kart.
Rhonda had to find a way to bring up the subject. He didn't want Vancent to race, now that the Queen had told her why she had banned him from the racetrack, "Look...maybe we shouldn't do it...y'know, race an' everything." She said nervously.
"Ha, ha, that's not funny, Rhonda." Vancent shook his head and started up his kart.
"No, no, look! What I'm saying is is that you can't be a real racer!" Rhonda blurted out; she didn't mean to word her sentance that way, but it was too late now.
"W-What?" Vancent stuttered, sadly glitching a couple of times.
A/N: Oooh, drama! I think I'm going to cry when I write the next scene in the next chapter, only because I cried during the movie when I watched it. In fact, I cried many times in the movie. I cried when Gene was a jerk to Ralph, when Taffyta and the other racers wrecked Vanellope's kart, the hallucination of where Vanellope died when her game was un-plugged, when Ralph wrecked Vanellope's kart, when Turbo was about to kill Vanellope, when Ralph jumped into Diet Cola Mountain (I know it was a Disney movie, but I seriously thought that they were going to kill Ralph) and in the ending, where Ralph and Vanellope had to say goodbye.
When Vanellope made that execution joke, I actually started laughing, thinking those little kids deserved it. I groaned when Vanellope said she was joking, and that she wouldn't really execute the Sugar Rush kids.
