"You're still here."
Ralph turned around and saw Vanellope.
"Yes." Ralph smiled. "I was just..."
"Please, I don't know what my parents said to you but, I apologize." Vanellope pleaded.
"Oh no no, they were wonderful." Ralph reassured her before scoffing: "Compared to my family."
"I want to meet your family." Vanellope smiled.
"No you don't." Ralph almost panicked.
"Everyone in your life." Vanellope was a bit too excited.
"No no, really you don't." Ralph insisted.
"That bad huh?" Vanellope couldn't believe it.
"They didn't even want me to come here tonight." Ralph admitted.
"Well I'm glad you did." Vanellope smiled.
Ralph looked at her, and smiled back. They both walked past a fountain and one of the doors to the dance floor.
"To tell you the truth I almost didn't come myself." Vanellope admitted.
"How can the princess not show up at her own ball?" Ralph was surprised.
"Don't you think it's a little medieval? Everyone's circling around as if I was some prize cow they were trying to rope in."
Ralph chuckled.
"Go ahead and laugh, but this is serious." Vanellope smiled. "If I'm going to spend the rest of my life with someone, then he's got to be-"
"Then he's got to be exciting." Ralph leapt backward.
"I guess." Vanellope chuckled, catching up with him.
"But charming." Ralph grinned and winked.
"Not that charming." Vanellope winced.
"And your loyal knight forever and ever." Ralph gently sat down on a bench.
"Knights I've got." Vanellope dismissed. "What I need is someone I can really talk to. You know what I wish?" Vanellope knelt down. "I wish-"
"You know the trouble with most people," Ralph remembered what Felix had said to him earlier that night. "Is that they sit around wishing for something to happen instead of just doing something about it."
"You're right." Vanellope looked as if she had an epiphany. "May I ask you a question?"
"Of course." Ralph's heart pounded.
"Do you think it's possible to meet someone and to know in an instant that he's the one?"
Ralph's heart calmed down and he smiled.
"It's very possible." He said.
"I feel so strange." Vanellope grinned, giddy. "Like I'm not myself or maybe it's just with you I really am myself. Not the self that people expect me to be but the real self that I- I'm not making any sense am I?" She chuckled.
"Actually you're making perfect sense to me." Ralph said. "That's what's so scary."
"Scary, and confusing, and wonderful all at the same time." Vanellope grinned before singing:
Do I love you because you're enchanting
Or are you enchanting, because I love you?
Am I making believe I see in you
A man too handsome to be really true?
Do I want you because you're wonderful
Or are you wonderful, because I want you?
Are you the sweet invention of a lover's dream
Or are you really as enchanting as you seem?
"Maybe you are imagining me." Ralph stood up. "And maybe I'm imagining you too."
RALPH:
Am I making believe I see in you
A girl to perfect to be really true?
Do I want you because you're wonderful
Or are you wonderful because I want you?
BOTH:
Are you the sweet invention of a lover's dream
Or are you really as wonderful as you seem?
Vanellope smiled and kissed Ralph's cheek. Ralph's heart skipped a beat.
"I've always dreamed it would happen like this, and now it really has." She grinned. "I never want this night to end."
"Neither do I." Ralph agreed.
BOTH:
Are you the sweet invention of a lover's dream
Or are you really as wonderful as you seem?
They kissed...but then the clock struck twelve.
"I can't stay." Ralph panicked before running away.
"What do you mean?" Vanellope's smile fell.
"I have to go."
"Wait, come back!" Vanellope ran after him. "I don't even know your name!"
She met Tamora along the way.
"Your highness what is it?" Tamora asked.
Vanellope ran past her without a word.
Ralph ran up the steps, everyone else watching him confusedly. Vanellope continued running and saw her parents standing nearby.
"Van, don't let him get away." Maltina said.
Vanellope then met Turbo.
"Your highneth you thimply mutht-" Turbo was cut off as Vanellope ran past him, causing him to fall down.
Ralph continued running, losing his hat along the way. Finally when he was outside he ended up back in his shirt and overalls. The carriage was a pumpkin and the horses were mice again. Q*Bert and his friends looked like themselves again, and ran away with Ralph.
Vanellope made it to the stairs, but she was too late. The only thing left of him was his hat. She picked it up and held it to her heart as she sang:
Do I want you because you're wonderful?
As Ralph headed for home he was thinking the same thing.
RALPH:
Or are you wonderful
Because I want you?
BOTH:
Are you the sweet invention of a lover's dream
Or are you really as wonderful as you seem?
Once they were home Q*Bert talked to Ralph excitedly.
"Oh guys I had the most wonderful time." Ralph sighed happily. "The princess...she was like something out of a dream. And she actually loves me back! If only I could see her again...but how can I looking like this?"
