Bing-Bing Berry Bonanza Part 1
But what was happening days before?
What was happening before all the news got out, all the craziness?
Well…
The sun rose in Sugar Rush, the golden light peeking through the second floor room of the garden house. Inside were the twins, their beds untouched by the sunlight as it slowly crept along the divide between their beds.
The one in the red bed was dreaming sweet dreams, her feet twitching as even in her sleep she was ready to go and run about.
The one in blue was sleeping much more soundly, curled up tight and enjoying the slow, drifting feeling of flying through the clouds.
*BRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!*
The alarm sounded but both girls were far too entranced in their slumber to notice, the clock carrying on. Just went it seemed like no one would answer the alarm, a string upon the smaller arm snagged a switch.
*TWANG!*
It pulled hard upon a wheeled contraption, pulling it further down the top of the dresser. It rolled off, the weight pulling the blinds of the window which caused bright sunlight to POUR into the room.
"Zan shango hao!"
The girls grumbled and groaned as a chipper voice echoed from an entrance in the floor, followed by the sound of footsteps.
"Girls, girls! WAKE UP!"
The first girl, the one in red, rose first. She yawned and rubbed her eyes sleepily "Daaaa-dyyy…."
The second girl, the one in blue, huddled in her blankets "It's too early."
"Too early?" said the crimson-headed man, coming through the entrance and standing tall "TOO EARLY?! When the royal family needs us, it is never too early!"
"But-!" said the first girl.
"We-!" said the second.
"Yes, yes. 'But we have to get going! We have a job to do!" the man said as he walked over to the windows and pushed them open, the warm sweet air billowing into the room. He took a deep breath, patting his chest.
"Oh, smell the flowers! Smell the leaves! I can tell we are going to have a bunker crop this season! The Von Schweetz will love it!"
The twins knew there was no way they were going to escape with as roused up as the cherry man was, so what other choice did they have but to get up.
"Okay." Said the red girl.
"Alright." Said the blue.
"We'll get ready." They both said, getting out of the bed in a mirrored fashion, both their feet touching the ground at the same time.
"That's my girls." The man said, patting his daughters atop their head "We can't have a harvest without all the Bing Bings!"
Wash up.
Brush teeth.
Comb hair.
All in patterns, all in patterns.
As the two girls went about their daily routine, a good eye would have been able to spot how flawlessly the two matched each other in movements. It was like watching a shadow, each girl moving at precisely the same time, each girl reaching for the exact same time at the exact same time.
They were twins alright….
And yet.
And yet, they were still different.
The one in red seemed boundless in her energy, her eyes glowing bright with glee while the one in blue seemed much more calm, relaxed, reserved.
The one in red had pigtails that curled UP.
The one in blue had pigtails that curled DOWN.
The one in red had double cherries on her shirt.
The one in blue had double blueberries on hers.
At last they were ready for breakfast, feeling much more refreshed once the sleep bad been shaken from their bodies.
"Ready, Citrusella?" the one in red said as she put on her cherry cap.
Citrusella smiled warmly, getting her blueberry cap "Yes, Jubileena."
"And they wanted how many?" asked a plump blueberry woman as she placed the final bowl on the table "FOUR dozen."
"Yes, yes." Said the cherry man, nodding his head as he looked over his notes "And that is only for a start!"
"A START?"
"From what I have been informed, the royal family are having some sort of party soon, all sorts of dignitaries and all that other fancy stuff? That'll be there."
"So no wonder the king sounded so frantic." Said the woman, sitting down and pouring her husband a cup of tea "Oh, Ah! We have to make sure we find the best! Only the best!"
Ah smiled; he loved it when his little wife got so excited over the prospect of showing new arrivals to the kingdom the array of flowers and fruits that grew throughout the land.
"Ha-haaaa, Muffy. Don't go shooting through the roof, my dear. Wait for the children to arrive and-!"
"We're here!" the twins said as they joined their parents at the table, both taking their seats in their respective colored chairs.
"What was this-?" began Jubileena.
"About a party?" finished Citrusella.
"It's a special get together for the royal family, you two." Said their mother with a smile "The King was gracious enough to request that we find him the best jewel fruit for the occasion."
"Jewel fruit?" asked a curious Citrusella.
"But don't those grow later in the season?" asked Jubileena.
"So it seems that you remember the growing patterns." Smiled Ah, swelling with pride at his daughters' knowledge "Yes. Some do but there are a few breeds that are ready for picking now but only for a short supply."
Jubileena's cheeks glowed with wonder "Then they must be-."
"Very, very special then." Finished Citrusella, looking rather nervous.
"Indeed they are." Said Muffy, going over to one of the bookcases "In fact…"
The woman got upon a step-stool, looking through the wide array of text both she and her husband had collected over the years. There were just so many books on plants and fruits for the kingdom, some of which only the little family knew of.
After all, would you expect less from the Royal Gardeners?
Aside from the royal family themselves, only a few other people lived on the vast estate of the candy castle and one of those families were the Bing-Bings.
Granted, their home was just the garden quarters and it was nowhere near as large or even as lavish as the livings quarters reserved for more 'dignified' members of the court. In fact, the place was just a two-story cabin, completely DWARFED by the massive castle that loomed beside it but as small as it was, it was home to the Bing-Bings and it was the Bing-Bings that kept the gardens and many of the other foliage of the entire kingdom looking bright and healthy.
It was a job that was rarely spoken of in the castle, the Queen usually saying that the care for the palace was handled by 'the help' but King Tobias was much more modest and truthful when telling others about who and where he got the delectable fruit from. Maybe those of upper-crust did not know but in the village?
In the village it was another story.
In the village, away from the hustle and the bustle of the castle, people knew about the Bing-Bing's creations and their craft as the family would travel to the village and sell their wares to anyone who was interested and once you tasted some of their fruit…
Goodness!
There was nothing as good as a Sunny Peach or a Pink Kissed Strawberry. Whatever plant it was, Ah and Muffy had it and their daughters were always there, watching and learning the tools of the trade from both their parents. Of course, such practices didn't exactly make them RICH as the family made certain that their creations were available to EVERYONE but the four were always well off enough that they could always go about in peace, wanting nothing more than to discover and share new fruits with everyone in the kingdom.
And this party was the perfect chance to showcase it to a whole new set of tastebuds.
"Ah, here we are!"
"Me?" said the father as he looked up. Muffy tittered, tickled by her husband's reaction.
"No, I'm talking about the FRUIT!"
"What is it?" asked Citrusella, as she got up.
"What did you find?" asked Jubileena.
Muffy flipped through the pages of the massive book, stopping on a page that showed forth the most beautiful of fruits. It showed off in so many colors that the twins were certain that the entire page was glowing before them, their eyes fixated on the picture before them.
"THIS…." The blueberry woman began "Is the Rainbow Crystal Berry."
"Rainbow-?"
"Berry?"
Ah nodded, taking the book in his hand "Yes, YES. A summer-fruit. One of much rarity and beauty. The flavor is delicious but it is said it can do various other things as well."
"Like what?" the twins asked.
Ah shut the book, a crafty smile forming on his face.
"They say…." The man began "That who ever eats upon this fruit during the height of the Summer Strawberry Moon gains ultimate power!"
The twins looked at their father with wide eyes, taken in by what they both assumed to be some sort of tale of wonder and adventure. How could such a fruit possess such power?
"Is that-?"
"True?"
Ah smiled down at his girls and laughed, tossing the book over his shoulder.
"The heck should I know? All I know is that these berries do come uncurled from their leaves during the night so that is when we shall find them."
Night?
The two girls looked at each other; they had gone on errands with their parents before for fruit and plants but never at NIGHT.
If it meant they had to go at night, then it must have been REALLY special!
The girls turned towards each other, whispering.
"Berries that bloom at night?"
"Made of crystals?"
"Daddy said they don't have powers."
"But what if they do?"
Now the girls were interested.
"Well, what do you think?" asked Ah.
"About what, dear?"
"The girls are old enough. This can be their first night berry picking venture!"
"It sounds lovely." The little woman said in a calm voice, munching on some honey toast "And I'm sure the royal family will love it just as well when we bring them back."
The two girls looked at their parents at the very mention of the royal family.
This was a big job.
A BIG job.
"We can make a trip out of it. Get away from the palace for a while and go camping!" said the father as he began to gather his books "Yes! To be away back into nature! We can find so many new specimens and-!"
*BRIIIIIIIIIING!*
The phone.
Muffy walked over, picking up the receiver.
"Bing-Bing Gardens. This is Muffy-Soufflé Flugpucker Bing-Bing speaking. How may I help you?"
She always knew how to greet someone.
"Ah haaaa…oh, yes. Yes. That sounds AWFUL. Oh! OH! Goodness!"
"What is it?" asked Ah, a concerned look coming upon his face.
Muffy sighed, twirling a finger through her blue locks "Guess who."
"Uuuuuh…Tobias?"
"Nope."
"Aaaaaaaah…Dango?"
"NADA."
"Oh GOBS. It wasn't my Uncle was it?"
"Oh come on, he's not THAT bad."
A spark went off in the man's mind, his hand going into his palm.
"REESE."
"Indeed."
"What's wrong this time?"
"It seems that there is some sort of infestation happening with the roots of the grape vines."
"That sounds horrible!"
"Yes, but you know how Reese is. He sees something he THINKS is a calamity and it turns out it is nothing more than a trick the Princess has played on him."
"Either way…." Said Ah, gather up his equipment "We cannot just ignore him. It might be serious."
Muffy nodded, reaching for her own gear "Yes. And you know how he gets when we're late. And it doesn't get any better when Milka backs him up."
"Don't be hard on them, Muffy. They just like things….ORDERLY."
"So does this mean-?"
"No camping trip?"
The adults stopped, suddenly remembering their daughters were waiting for them.
If only work had not gotten in the way.
"Darlings?" Ah said, approaching his precious children "We need you to stay here. Duty calls."
"But what about-?"
"We can plan for it later." Said Muffy as she put on her pack, the twins wondering just what their mother was carrying "But right now, with as much work we're going to be doing it would be best if you two stay away from the palace garden."
"But what it we-?" said Jubileena.
"Get bored?" finished Citrusella.
"Why don't you play with the Princess? Or Rancis?" asked Ah.
The two girls looked at each other; that was quite the heavy task their father was putting on them.
"Maybe." Said Jubileena.
"Maybe…." Said Citrusella, her words coming out MUCH heavier than her sister's.
Muffy sighed, already aware to the feelings the two harbored "Kids….they need friends too."
"Dear, let's go."
"Alright…" the woman said, looking back at her husband as he got in the car "We'll talk about this later. And we can talk about the camping trip later as well. But for right now, just play safe."
And with that the parents were gone, leaving the two alone in the house.
"This STINKS." Said Jubileena as she walked back towards the ladder to the upstairs room.
"Juju, wait!"
"This ass gonna be our FIRST important berry harvest!" said Jubileena with a pout "But some ugly bugs gotta come in an' ruin it!"
"J-Ju-Ju…." She managed to say, shivering "We've picked berries for the King, the Queen, and the Princess before. What makes this one special?"
"Did ya SEE that berry, Cissy?" the cherry girl said as she jumped to her feet, spinning around "It-! It was like-! It was like a bajillion an' a million sugar diamonds on a berry! An' it looked so good in the book! Imagine what it's gonna look like when we see a bajillion trillion MORE!"
"Oooh. Well, that does sound pretty." Said the blueberry girl as her sister reached down and pulled her from the floor, dancing with her.
"We'll be the first kids in the kingdom to find them! An' when we bring 'em ta the royal family our parents are gonna be so PROUD!"
"Wait, what do you mean?" said Citrusella.
"I know that daddy said they only come from the leaves at night but-"
An idea was already ticking away in the cherry girl's head. She could see the berries in her eyes but she could also see the proud look of her parents once they returned to the home with baskets upon baskets of berries waiting for them.
"Cissy?"
"Ah-huh?"
"We gotta do this on our own."
"WH-MMPH!"
Before the girl in blue could say another word she found her mouth covered by Jubileena.
"Shh! SHHHH!"
A nod; Cissy had gotten the message.
"We can't let mama an' papa know."
"But, it's dangerous to go alone. You know what they've said."
"About what?"
"About….about all the creatures that lurk around the forest." Citrusella said, moving her fingers about, eyes growing wide "The creepies. The crawlies. OOOOOH!"
"That's not scary…." Huffed the cherry girl "An' I've seen scarier things!"
"Like what?"
"Rancis' dad freakin' out when he finds a gray hair." Jubileena laughed cheekily, her twin giggling softly.
"Okay, okay. Maybe we've seen scarier things but…."
"Yeah?"
"I dunno. You know how mommy and daddy get when we go into plants we don't know about. 'Member what happened when we both feel into the poison oatmeal vines?"
Jubileena began to itch herself, feeling the memories coming back in a bad way.
"Urgh, urgh! YEAH! So many baths with that nasty pink lotion."
"That's why daddy doesn't like us going off into the woods alone. And I agree with him."
"Aw, but Cissy!"
"I wanna do something nice for mommy n daddy, I do." Began the blueberry girl "But the forest? By ourselves? At NIGHT?"
"Well, like I said…it won't be AT night if we go NOW." The cherry girl said as she walked over to the desk, pulling out a pad of paper and some colored pencils "We….we can mark a trail! We can make a map an' then when mommy and daddy get back! We can show it to them an' make things so much easier!"
Citrusella thought….
And thought.
And thought.
And thought.
"I dunno…."
"C'mon, Cissy. Ya wanna have fun, ya wanna go on this trip, don'tcha?"
"I-I do…."
"Then what's keepin' ya? I know you're not scared of the dark."
"Well….BEARS."
"We don't see a lotta bears around here."
"Then….hmmmm…skunks?"
"We can see 'em easier durin' tha day!"
"Twelve-legged choco-swamp zombies with three noses dripping boogers, one massive eye, and twenty octo-to-to-topus legs?"
"YOU MADE THAT UP!"
"No I didn't." said the blueberry girl, sure of herself "They said they found something like that. The paper said so."
"Cissy, are ya with me or not?" the cherry twin asked "I don't wanna do this just ta get out. I wanna help mom n' dad. Don't ya?"
"Well….yes. Yes, I do but-!"
"Then?"
Citrusella hesitated, thinking of all the creatures they could possibly run into if they were to go into the forest alone and she knew, there were PLENTY of things lurking around.
But at the same time, she wanted just what Jubileena wanted.
To help her parents.
Citrusella was always so shy, always so troubled when it came to choices but the more she thought about showing everyone in the kingdom that both she and her twin could be just as good as adventurers as they could be gardeners, the more her heart began to pump with enthusiasm.
"Yeah!" the blueberry girl said "Let's do this!"
It didn't take long for the two to get their things together, stuffing their packs with supplies and heading out to the shed.
"We need it?" asked Citrusella.
"We need it." Nodded Jubileena.
The two went into the shed and pulled the covers off a large, wooden vehicle.
A kart.
A TWIN kart.
Sure, it was shaky, a little flimsy and it looked as if it were made from scraps the two had GLUED together but it was THEIR kart.
And they loved it.
"Hook up the hitch!" said Jubileena, her sister hooking an extra carrying compartment that the cherry girl later piled their bags onto.
"Ready to go?"
"Yup!"
Jubileena took the front end, Citrusella took the seat behind her and with the power of both their legs turning-!
They went at a leisurely pace.
*Bring bring!*
"Don't go too far to the castle!" said Jubileena, looking out for their parents "I don't want mom or dad ta see us."
"Righto." Said the blueberry girl, ducking "I think we can make it if we just head this-!"
"An' what are YA two doin' here?"
The two girls nearly flew over the handlebars as a LOUD voice hit their ears. They turned, seeing a small figure in a pink dress smiling smugly towards them.
Wuh-oh.
"P-Princess Vanellope!" stammered Citrusella, Jublieena not sharing her nervousness "Ah! AAH! It's nice seeing you."
"Well, I DO live here." The Princess retorted matter-of-factly "What are YOU doin' here?"
"Um, we're just on our way to town." Citrusella fibbed, wanting nothing to do with the princess or even to let her know the truth of what was going on.
"With all that stuff?"
"Um, we wanted ta trade some things at the market." Said Jubileena, quickly trying to steer things away from Vanellope's suspicions. Her brows furrowed a bit "Why? What's it to ya?"
"Why should I care?" responded the Princess, already not too keen on the cherry twin's mood towards her "Ya can take that ratty ol' junk an' throw it into Diet Cola Mountain for all I care."
"Okay, then let us go." Citrusella said in a soft voice "We don't wanna be late."
"Why aren't ya with your parents here?"
"Huh?"
"I asked…." The girl said, tapping her foot on the ground "Your parents are arguin' with Mr. Reese 'bout some bugs or somethin'. Why aren't ya with them?"
"Mom n' Dad didn't want us ta get in tha way of all that work, I guess." Said Jubileena "They said it was gonna be pretty dirty stuff."
"Well, I thought ya two would be USED ta bein' dirty."
The twins looked surprised at the princess, and her jeer as well.
"Did ya get tha joke?" the princess smiled "Cuz your parents always plant things in tha dirt? An' dirt is dirty?"
Vanellope laughed but the two girls weren't sure how to react, Citrusella looking most confused and upset of all.
"Um, yeah. It was funny." The blueberry girl said, looking down at the pedals of the kart "Uh, we have to-"
"Wait I have another one!" The Princess said "What do you get when ya cross a Bing-Bing with a Ding-Dong?"
"Vanellope, we gotta go."
"A Bing-Dong!" the Princess cut in as she laughed again but the twins were still less then bemused at the joke, their eyes looking back and forth to ensure that no adults were around to spot them.
"Princess, stop." Said Citrusella "We don't want to get caught."
It wasn't enough that the two didn't seem to catch onto her jokes but their feverish attempts to get away from her was starting to peeve the Princess something awful. She pouted, her cheeks puffing out.
"Oooh, I'm sorry. Is goin' to the junk sale THAT important?"
"It's not a JUNK SALE!" shouted Jubileena "An' even if it was, this stuff isn't JUNK."
"Looks like it ta me." The Princess sniffed as she looked at the twins' kart "Did ya make this yourselves? Huh, looks more like ya threw up on it."
"It works, an' that's all that matters." Jubileena huffed back, getting rather annoyed.
"Daddy can buy me karts." The Princess continued "He can buy me karts that can leave this pile of boxes in the dust."
"So?" snapped Jubileena, the only one of the two sisters who was more than ready to stand it up towards Vanellope "What do we care? We have things ta do an' places ta go!"
"Ya think you're gonna get anywhere in THAT thing?" the Princess laughed "I'm surprised ya made it this far without crashin' into anythin'!"
"Juju, let's go." Said Citrusella, the worry clear in her voice "We're losing time."
"BEEP BEEP!"
The two girls looked, Vanellope pretending to drive the double-kart around, running on her tiny little feet.
"Watch out! The Bing-Bings are on the loose an' they're gonna crash everywhere!"
"Vanellope!"
"AAAH! SCREE! OH NO!" the Princess continued "They hit my baby! They hit my dog!"
"We can drive this thing!" Jubileena said in anger, hopping off the seat of her portion of the kart.
"Ta WHERE? Another dirt heap? I mean, that's where all the best plants come from!"
"So what if we like gardenin' an' all that!" said Jubileena "What's wrong with that?"
Vanellope smirked, making certain that the two could see the shining candies in her crown.
"It's just funny. Ya live here on tha palace grounds, ya work here on tha palace grounds but ya sure don't LOOK like ya belong on tha palace grounds."
Something about the girl's words stung the two. The fact had never come to their minds before as they were always far too busy enjoying themselves with their parents to even consider just how detached they were from everyone else in the palace.
They could always see the bright lights and hear the galas that often took place but it never came to their mind that despite being so close, they were as about as far from being Royal as one could get.
It never had hit them.
Until now.
Vanellope laughed again "Your parents are workin' on gettin' some stupid bugs away from tha palace. THAT'S as close as they'll ever get ta tha palace."
"S-So what?" Citrusella spoke up, both a little angry and upset "It's not that we care. We have other things to do."
"Ya mean like root around in the dirt? Dig through the trash to find parts for you kart?" the girl said as she kicked the wheels, trying to purposely set them off.
"Hey, STOP!" shouted Jubileena "It took us a long time to find those!"
"This is better as SCRAP!" Vanellope said as she continued to handle the kart roughly "Mom was right! We don't need stuff like this he-!"
"VANELLOPE!"
All three of the girls froze in fear, a commanding voice booming from behind but of them all, Vanellope looked the MOST terrified.
Who was it?
"PRINCESS. VANELLOPE."
The girl turned, the tall figure of her father coming to her eyes.
The ANGER figure of her father.
The king narrowed his eyes and frowned, walking over to his daughter.
"What was that?
"W-What?
"What did you say to these girls?" the King repeated, his voice sounding very rough.
"I-I didn't do anythin'!" the Princess shouted, shaking her head "I was just-!"
"Don't lie to me!" King Tobias said as he marched towards his daughter, taking her by the arm "I heard EVERY word that came out of your mouth!"
"But-!"
"Apologize."
The girl was far too afraid to look at her father eye-to-eye but she forced herself anyway, her body trembling as she did so.
"H-Huh."
"Apologize to them." The King repeated "The Bing-Bings have done this family a great deal over the years and you have no reason to insult them as such."
The twins looked at each other, much too confused and surprised that the KING of Sugar Rush was talking about them. They had always seen him from afar, had always hidden from him whenever he came close so it was so odd, so DIFFERENT to see the King up close in such a manner.
And Vanellope?
She was stuck.
She could not escape but she was not in the apologizing mood. She glared at the twins as her father let go of her arm, crossing them in a huff.
"Young lady…"
"FINE." The girl sniffled "I'm….sorry."
It may not have been truly sincere but having the King around them made things feel a little better for the berry twins, if not a bit awkward as well.
"Um, it's okay." Said Jubileena.
"Yes. It's alright." Said Citrusella.
Vanellope didn't reply, still very sore about having to say such words to, as her mother had put it, the common help of the Kingdom.
"That is not how we behave." The king said, giving his daughter a nudge on her backside with his staff "Do we need to have another talk?"
"No."
"I'm sorry. What was that?"
"NO!" Vanellope snapped, going into a bit of a tantrum "Oooooh! Why do ya hafta be so mean, daddy!"
"Young lady-!"
"I'm goin' ta mummy!" the Princess cried "You're bein' mean ta me."
"Wait! VANELLOPE!"
But it was too late, the girl running up the marble-cake stairs into the palace. Tobias sighed, the worries rushing back to him.
"Heavens….if that girl isn't doing one thing…."
The man shook his head, remembering her had other subjects to attend to.
"Girls, I am sorry about that. Vanellope has been acting really strange lately and-!"
He turned….
And the girls were gone.
"Miss Jubileena? Miss Citrusella?"
Not a trace of either could be found…
Except…..
The man looked down, finding a folded up piece of paper on the ground. He picked it up, unfolding it to reveal colorful scribbles drawn upon it.
"Is this….is this a MAP?"
"Don't worry, Cissy!" Jubileena said as she and her sister pedaled their way toward the woods "We're almost there!"
Citrusella said nothing, her legs continuing on the journey.
"Don't ya have anythin' ta say?"
"Juju?"
The two stopped, the tires only a hair off from where the land crossed into the woods.
"Yeah?"
"Um…."
The blueberry twin rubbed her hands nervously, her lip quivering.
"Cissy?"
"Is it true?" the blue twin asked the other "I-is it true that we're just dirt diggers or whatever the Princess said?"
A sour expression came upon Jubileena's face, the echoes of the Princess' words making her angry.
"Forget about what she says."
"Huh?" Citrusella sniffled, a small tear rolling off her cheek "What do you mean?"
"She can stay up in her fancy castle an' with all her fancy toys but while she's doin' nothin' we're gonna find tha berry that's gonna make our family FAMOUS."
"You mean it?"
"YES!" Jubileena cheered, her excitement rising "We'll show her! Soon, everyone is gonna know tha name Bing-Bing! Because we're gonna show tha world tha biggest haul of Crystal Berries EVER!"
"And mommy and daddy?"
Jubileena looked back at her sister, a soft smile on her face.
"With that money….we can get them a new house. We can buy a house that'll make Vanellope look so dinky n' stinky! She'll have ta sleep outside!"
"Um, I'm not sure if I want that much to happen to-!"
"C'mon, Cissy. Let's go." The red twin said, determination in her voice "Ya with me?"
Citrusella turned her focus back on the village, suddenly realizing just how FAR the two had traveled on their own. Usually, they had only gone so far in the accompaniment of their parents but there they were.
Alone.
And the woods were starting to look more and more intimidating.
But then she remembered what Vanellope had said; how she had made fun of them, how she had made fun of their PARENTS.
The sisters knew how hard their parents worked, how much they loved their job and to hear the Princess talking about them in such a way.
Soon Citrusella was starting to feel the same fire as Jubileena.
She gripped the bars of her portion of the kart, looking into the air.
"Let's go!"
