Vanellope watched the little robotic egg resting inside her bag. She didn't dare to touch it, she knew what would happen if she did. It would crack open and a Cy-bug would come out from it. But why did Turbo give her a Cy-bug egg? What could she do with it? She thought and thought, but she couldn't manage to get a concrete answer on her head.
It was Turbo trying to destroy Sugar Rush or really trying to help her.
She touched the egg. Nothing happened. She touched it twice. Nothing again. The third time the egg glowes green, and cracked open. A very small Cy-bug went out from the egg. It was even smaller than the one that got into the scape capsule along with Ralph, and caused the whole problem.
Vanellope walked backwards, terrified, trying to get away from the robot insect. But the Cy-bug walked towards her. The ex princess hit the wall, she couldn't move anymore... and the bug kept moving foward, towards her.
She began breathing heavily, it was her end, she knew it. The Cy-bug would eat her, she was outside her game... instant game over. She didn't have a gun near so she could kill the robot, so basically, yes... she was doomed.
The Cy-bug stood there right in front her, but it did something Vanellope didn't expect. The insect rubbed against her leg like a hungry kitten and in need of affection.
"Uh?" Vanellope muttered. She looked at the insect surprised. The cy-bug just stood there, watching her. It had a puppy look on its robot face... or that's what Vanellope thought.
So Turbo was really trying to help. He had given her a newborn cy-pet. Weird? Pretty much, but not as much as everything that had happened to her since the game had been plugged.
Vanellope knelt down, and patted the bug on top of its head. The Cy-bug layed down on the floor to play with her. Vanellope thought it was sweet.
"Oh, who's a sweet little thing? You are!" She said. The Cy-bug was now happily playing arround her.
"I must give you a name, I guess..." she thought for a second "What about... Chocklissa?"
The Cy-bug shook its head, disgusted.
"Gummiana?" She asked once again.
The cy-bug shook its head once again. "Hey, you know, it's hard to think a name for a robotic insect?" she said sitting on the floor. The cy-bug walked the little space between them, and sat next to her. Who would've thought an insect that was supposed to come from a game where all the rest of the robots were evil, would be so sweet and friendly?
"Oh, I got it... what about Lillypop?!" She said smilling at the cy-bug, her eyes filled with hope.
The insect gave up. It wasn't her favourite name, but Vanellope's eyes looked like wet puppy ones. It just nodded its head in approval.
"Alright! You'll be Lillypop! So you'll help me with my conquering this Sugar Rush plan?"
The Cy-bug nodded once again.
a knock on the door was heard.
"Can I go in?" SourBill's voice said from the other side.
"Fast, I need to hide you!" She told her new pet. She then saw the backpack the egg was inside. "Forgive me about this" she whispered.
She grabbed the bug, put it inside the bag, closed it and hid it.
She then opened the door.
"What happened SourBill?" She asked trying to sound like the president as much as she could. It obviosly worked.
"The racers are on the first floor, they want to see you" he said seriously.
"Oh, alright, tell them I'm going down in a sec" she said, to then close the other her room's doors.
She ran to her bag and let out her little friend.
"Stay here, I have someone's place to steal" she said smirking.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Meanwhile, our favourite president headed to the new Sugar Rush. She needed to hurry, she was running late since apologizing with Vanellope about the accident took her long, though she knew she hadn't been completly forgiven.
She was really sorry, she wouldn't want her to be hurt. Not even considering she had been lying to her since the begginig, not even considering she had made her believe the other racers were evil.
This last thoughts made her walk faster to the game's entrace. She touched the portal when an alarm went off.
Vanellope rolled her eyes. Surge Protector. Again.
The SP appeared right next to her.
"Come her" he told her as she walked closer to him.
"Can't we do this another moment? I'm running late dude!"
"Name?" He asked anyways.
"Princess Peach Toadstool" the SP raised his eyebrows "President Vanellope Von Schweetz" she said rolling her eyes.
"Game you come from?"
"Sugar Rush"
"Game you're heading to?
"Sugar Rush, duh?!" She said as it was obvious, which of course was.
"Are you taking any food with you?"
"Nope"
"Anything to declare?"
"You suck, you know?"
"I've been told... many times in fact"
The Surge Protector dissapeared. Vanellope quickly crossed the portal, and ran toward the castle. She had given up on glitching, it would've been faster, but after the accident that had happened two hours before, she didn't want to use her superpower again.
She ran as fast as she could till she reached the doors. She knocked and SourBill opened.
He let her in and led her to the main dinning room, where on the long table rested cookies and hot chocolate. The racers were sitting arround the table waiting for Vanellope to arrive with their arms crossed.
"I'm sorry I'm late, guys, you know, the Surge Protector stopped me" The president said while entering to the room.
"Oh, don't worry!" Taffyta said. "Come and join us!" She said pointing at the empty chair that rested between herself and Melonie.
Vanellope walked towars it and sat down.
"Before we start, I need to clear my mind about some things guys. This whole situation is making me really confused..."
"What do you need to know?" Melonie asked before any other racer could. She knew most of her questions were going to be about her, and she would be the one to answer her doubts.
"I need to know what really happened. Now that you're here I know the othe me's story was just made up. But I need to know the reason she lied to me. And why you guys didn't tell me about Melonie when we first met"
The room went silent. They knew exactly those would be the things she wanted to know.
Melonie was of course the first one to answer. She needed to be the one to tell her point of view of the events.
"It all began the day we got upgraded, the day I was 'born'. The racers found me on the laffy taffy pound, asleep. They woke me up and took me to the castle.
Vanellope was still the princess and the best racer on Sugar Rush, so when she heard a new character was on the game, she obviously wanted to meet me. When I first met her, Vanellope was very nice and kind to me. I thought we were going to be great friends.
She told me to go to the factory and build a cart, that she would help me. She did of course, it was really fun.
She then drove me to the speedway, it was the Roster race, my first roster race, I was really excited. Even though I had never been in a cart... deep inside I knew racing was my thing" Melonie said smiling at the memorie of herself creating her cart and going to her first roster race.
Vanellope also smiled. She could see Melonie's happiness through her smile. It reminded her of when Ralph helped her build her cart and become a real racer.
"We got to in place to the race. Vanellope wasn't in fact expecting what happened next… in fact none of the racers expected it. I won the race, and it wasn't even close. Vanellope appeared on the finish line almost five minutes after I arrived. She was mad, and jealous, we all could see it in her eyes. More considering that meant having me as a playable character the following day.
But there was anything she could do about it. So she just let me race.
I remember every single racer picking me up as avatar, because I was the new racer.
Guess that's what made Vanellope so mad. The next day, while we were on the roster race, she threw her cart on mine. I know she was trying to make me disappear…but it didn't work. She just made my code go completely crazy. This is what made all the racers turn against her. They couldn't believe she could be so jealous to do something like trying to kill somebody.
That's the reason Taffyta is now our princess.
This made Vanellope even angrier. She entered to the game's code and destroyed everything. Then she locked the racer's memories.
The last thing I remember is being carried to the Diet Cola Mountain. After that I have been completly asleep. Well, until I woke up on the highest floor in the castle" Melonie stopped for a second and gave a simpathetic smile to Vanellope. "That's all I can tell you since I've been asleep almost half of the story... guess I wasn't strong enough to stay awake"
"Saint peppermint! Are you crazy?!" Vanellope shouted surprised. Everybody stared a her silently. "I saw the state your code was in before you woke up. You ARE strong! Otherwise you wouldn't be standing here! Your code was ripped appart! You're really strong!"
This made Melonie smile widely... and give a big hug to Vanellope. She had never been told she was strong, not when she needed it. She was glad the president told her this. She needed to hear it.
Vanellope returned the hug. Melonie's story kind of reminded her of herself and how she needed someone to tell her she was strong.
After some seconds that seemed to last ages, the broke the hug.
"Thanks Vanellope, it really means a lot to me" Mel said still smiling.
Vanellope just gave her a wide smile. That smile said more than she could express with words. It was a ressuring smile, one that said 'if you need me, I'm there for you'.
"Alright, so what are we doing with Vanellope? I mean our Vanellope" Rancis asked breaking the silence
"So to bring Vanellope back to our game, this is what we've got to do..." Taffyta began.
.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-
Turbug sneaked back to Hero's Duty with a huge smirk plastered on his face. He had managed to get past Game Central And reach for Sugar Rush. He saw Both Vanellope's fight, and the ex princess break the cy-egg. That was all he needed to see.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
Me: so there goes, chapter twelve! What will Vanellope do with Lollypop? Will the racers bring Vanellope back to their game?
Taffyta: why does Turbo smirk so much?
Me: I see him as a smirky type of person...er cy-bug.
Taffyta: so leave a review! We appraciate every single thought! Even flames!
Me: are you old or new Taffyta? Cause Taffyta would never say that...
Taffyta: so, thenks for the favs, follows and reviews!
Me: and hopefully see you next chapter!... (to Taffyta) hey you still haven't answered my question.
Taffyta: *walks away*
Me: oh c'mon! you won't answer? you know that's rude don't you?... Well, see you all later!
