A/N: I found the start of this really hard to decide on, so that's probably the reason why this took a long time. I also was facing a bit of a writers' block (my 5th one during the story, I think), so this may not be as good as the other chapters. Anyway, continue reading!
I slowly turned around, dreading what I would see. At first, I was slightly confused at what she was wanting me to see, but after seeing it, I was shocked.
It was King Candy and the two donuts.
I hoped he hadn't spotted us yet, so I dragged Vanellope and ran the other way down the hill as fast as I could. To my surprise, she stopped me from dragging her and looked at me in confusion, saying, "What are you doing?!"
I put my finger over to her lips. "King Candy was right there! He could've seen us!"
She looked at me, still slightly puzzled, and whispered, "I was talking about the mountain! A single shout could've started an avalanche, stinkbrain!"
I looked back at the mountain, and sure enough, she was right. There was an enormous amount of snow piled on top of the mountain.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"Then why didn't you tell me that King Candy was there?"
"I only spotted him right now!" I started to grow a bit frustrated, and she was too.
"Same here!" She was going to say more, but then we heard a revving of the engine.
I just realised that we had been talking out loud with King Candy not too far from us, and now he and his donuts were driving straight at us.
"Why am I so dumb? I really feel like a stinkbrain right now." You know, I can't believe I thought that.
Vanellope tugged at me with all her might, but I was heavier than her and she only managed to make me stumble before both of us fell to the ground. I got both of us back up, and shot an irritating look at her before grabbing her hand once again and staying firmly on the spot, waiting for them to come.
"Are you crazy?!" Vanellope screamed, and tried to tug at me to run away.
However, I knew that running was not going to help, as they were faster than us, so I turned to her and said, firmly, "Trust me." I had remembered something I saw on the television once, and I hoped it was going to work.
Time seemed to have slowed down as the first donuts' motorbike was getting closer to us, and when it was just a few inches away, I jumped to the side, dodging the car. Fortunately, we were on a pretty steep slope so it'd take ages for him to stop and turn around. Next, I did the same with the second donuts' motorbike, and this time there was a moderately large bump behind us, so when the motorbike missed, it hit the bump and flew away.
"Now, only one more to deal with."
I knew how King Candy raced, and he was both tricky and fast, so he wasn't going to fall for the trick like the others. Even if he did, his combined off-road, brake and acceleration would allow him to catch up with us easily.
Suddenly, an idea formed into my mind, and I tore out one of the candies that was in Vanellopes' hair.
"Ow! What'd you do that for?" She rubbed her hair and glared at me.
"I'm going to throw this at him, and when he brakes for a small while, we have to run forward!"
"This better work, stinkbrain!"
When the car was a few metres away from hitting us, I threw the piece of candy at his face, and sure enough, his car slowed down while swerving away from us. Afterwards, we ran up the mountain, and by the time we got to the peak, he had just recovered and was heading straight for us.
Vanellope threw a worried glance at me. "What do we do now?"
"We have to start an avalanche!" I shouted.
In the following moments, we had screamed and yelled so loud that I thought that my throat was going to burst, but finally an entire wave of snow (or white powder, don't know what type of candy that is, really) came crashing down, knocking out both donuts and King Candy.
After a few minutes, they finally managed to get back up on their feet, and they drove away, cursing at us.
"Phew!" I croaked, still sore from all that shouting.
"That was awesome, stinkbrain! Nice plan!"
I held out my hand in front of her, and she jumped up and slapped it. "High five! Now, let's see the damage caused and head back home. We're not in much shape to snowboard, and the mountain's almost wrecked!"
"Aw..." She seemed disappointed about that, and I think that she was actually planning on pushing me off the mountain again. "But can we go to the city?"
I thought about that for a moment, and considering the events that had just happened, I said, "Fine. But after today, I think that you should stay in your hideout for a while, because King Candy will probably want you to be locked up in the fungeon."
Afterwards, I turned around and looked at the screen, and my mouth dropped open.
The damage had been worse than expected.
A/N: Sorry if any characters were out of character or if there should have been some other additional dialogue by other characters. Please review and tell me what you think (and also if there were any errors)!
I had to keep on thinking of the ending of this and there were so many ways I could've done this (I think there could've been possibly around 10 ways).
