Finale
"I'm sorry for everything that happened." Said the little racer.
"Nah, it's fine." Said Paper Boy "I'm just glad we got this taken care of as quickly as we did."
"But it's still my fault." The girl said "I let my excitement get the better of me an' before I knew it…Bwoooosh! So much drama."
"It happens in the world of news." The boy said, crossing his arms "But I want ya ta know one thing, kiddo."
"Ah-huh?"
"I really did bring ya on because of your skills. Don't think for a second that I held a grudge over ya because of what happened when Turbo was runnin' your game. Ya have tha right spunk for this type'a biz."
"Thanks." Torvald said, blushing from head to toe "That means a lot ta me."
"But what happened that that Guy-Gas-Gus-Ghost guy?" asked Vanellope, Ralph nodding his head.
"Yeah, where is that trouble-maker?"
"Well, before these guys turned this place into a winter wonderland, they actually hit me up first."
"Oh?"
"Yeah!" smiled Paper Boy "Tori told me everythin' an' then I relayed tha info ta my mom an'….well."
The other three waited to hear the results, Paper Boy grinning.
"Ya guys won't hafta worry 'bout him GHOST WRITIN' anythin' else."
It was only a few days before Christmas and yet the best gift had already been given to Torvald, a great weight lifted off of her once she realized how wonderful it was to have done such a good deed.
"By tha way, when can we expect ya back?"
"I don't know if Tori will have tha time." Vanellope said smugly as she stepped forward "We had a talk an' we thought it was high times that tha Sugar Rush Sentinel goes back inta print. With Tori bein' our leadin' editor, of course!"
"Oh, I'll have plenty'a time with Paper Boy too!"
Vanellope blinked, surprised by what she had heard "Uh, Torvald?"
"Yeah?"
"Um, isn't this tha time where you're supposed ta go 'Oh, but my game needs me more!' an' ya come back ta us? That's how it works in tha movies!"
"Are ya kiddin'? I LOVED workin' at tha Paper Boy Press an' I'll still work as a CONTRIBUTOR!"
"A CONTRIBUTOR?" said Ralph.
"Yeah, we're gonna revamp a few things and start a new section." Said the news boy "Startin' next year, we'll have correspondents from EVERY GAME, new and old, to report on special interest! It'll really connect tha games together, don't ya think?"
Ralph and Vanellope looked at each other, a little caught off guard but after a few moments….
They smiled as well.
"Haha! Guess we have a rather excitin' year ta look forward to, huh?"
"You bet Vanellope!" Torvald said happily "But right now? I think I just wanna sit back an' enjoy tha holidays. Don't ya think?"
Vanellope and Ralph looked about the station, finally feeling that Christmas cheer that they had so been longing for.
"Yeah, Tori." Vanellope said, putting her arm around the girl and hugging her "That's great."
