Chapter 10: The Parents are coming! The Parents are coming!
Once they got back to the penthouse, Jessie got a call.
"Wow! You guys are amazing behind the wheel!" Zuri complemented.
"Yeah, can I have a ride in one of your carts sometime?" Luke asked.
"Sure!" Vanellope exclaimed, excitedly.
"Yeah. Okay. See you then. Okay bye," Jessie said, ending the phone call.
"Who was that?" Emma asked. Jessie's face looked like something bad is going to happen.
"Your parents," she replied. Everybody gasped.
"Do they know about our guests?" Luke asks. Everybody was hoping they do.
"No," she says and turns around. When she turns around, she screams. "What is that and what is it doing there?" she screeches. Everybody looks at Gloyd. Gloyd looks to the ground sheepishly.
"Oops, looks like I forgot to put it away," he replied.
"Well, clean it up! The Ross parents are going to be here any minute!" she yelled and started hyperventilating. Gloyd then took a remote with a big red button out of his pocket. He presses the big red button and the entire thing retracts until it can fit in his pocket. "Okay, we need to get you guys out of here. Where do you guys live?"
"Rancis?" Vanellope asks nervously. Rancis takes out his phone and types something in, then stares at it with a worried expression on his face.
He looks up and says, "California." Everybody gasps. That is not the kind of news they needed at that moment. How are they going to get home? An even better question is how are they going to leave in a minute or so?
"Okay, obviously we can't get rid of you, so we have to make their parents like you," Jessie said.
"Oh! That will be easy for some of us," Vanellope said while everybody looked at Gloyd.
"What! I promise I will behave!" Gloyd said getting uncomfortable from all the stares he got. They all stopped staring at him and continued their conversation.
"Great, everybody got the idea," Jessie whispered to the now huddled group. Everybody nodded. "Great, let's do this!" she exclaimed. As she said this, the family helicopter landed on the top of the apartment building.
"They're here!" loudly whispered Ravi. Just then the elevator door opened and two people were making out inside of it.
All the Ross kids ran to their mother and father screaming, "Mom! Dad!"
"Hey kids!" the father said, grabbing Ravi and Zuri and picking them up. That's when their mother noticed the other kids in the room. "Who are your friends?" she asked. Gloyd then pushed Vanellope toward them. She looked back at them and they all encouraged her to go speak for them.
"Um, hi," Vanellope started, a little shy, "I'm Vanellope, and these are Rancis, Gloyd, Swizzle, Minty, and Jubalina."
"Okay," the mother said, "My name's Christina and this is my husband, Morgan. If you don't mind me asking, what are you doing here?"
"Long story," she replied, "Which involves a vortex, a billboard, and a giant teacup." Everyone was shocked at that comment. "Anyway, we need a place to stay until we can get back on our feet. Can we stay here?" Vanellope asked nervously.
"Oh, of course you can!" Christina said, clearly touched by Vanellope's honesty. Everybody's face lit up when they heard that. "Oh, also we saw the cutest carts ever and we were wondering who those belong to," she said, which made our six heroes beam even more.
"Those are our carts!" Jubalina spoke enthusiastically.
"Really?" Christina asked, clearly shocked.
"Yeah, we're professional racers," said Minty.
"Awesome," Morgan exclaimed, "I've always wanted to meet professional racers. Of course, I didn't imagine them being ten."
"Yeah, we get that a lot," Rancis, replied.
"Well we just stopped by to see how it's going, we are off to the set of Galactopus 5," Christina told them.
"Really," Jessie said sarcastically, "Don't you think people will get a little board of Galactopus movies."
"No, plus this one's going to be the big finally," Morgan replies.
"Oh, good," said Jessie.
"Anyway, bye kids," Christina, replied. They left and rode off in their helicopter.
