Chapter 21

Ralph walked to his game and went to his apartment to get a better view from his balcony.

Ralph: If I find him…I WILL teach him a lesson he will never forget.

Ralph frantically looked from left to right. After a few minutes he walked towards his room and started to take his overalls and t-shirts off. He opened his closet and put a black tank top on as well as black sweatpants on. He took his shoes off and went to grab his white trainers until…he heard a big THUD! From the dump. He quickly put on his trainers and ran to the balcony to see what it was.

Rancis grabbed the broken building bricks and started to chuck them at Vanellope who was trying to protect herself from him by hiding behind the stump but many had hit her.

"ENOUGH IS ENOUGH VANELLOPE! YOU HAVE TO MARY ME EVEN IF YOU DON'T LIKE ME! I WILL EVEN KILL YOU IF I HAVE TO… IF YOU WON'T MARRY ME! I HAVE BEEN TRYING MY WHOLE LIFE FROM THE TIME WHEN YOU FIRST BECAME PRESIDENT TO TAKE THAT BLOODY POWER OF YOURS, YOU HAVE THREE OPTIONS! GIVE UP THE THRONE AND GIVE IT TO ME, MARRY ME TOMORROW OR KILL YOU AND THEN TAKE OVER SUGAR RUSH!"

"NO!" screamed Vanellope, shaking with fear.

"ALRIGHT! NUMBER THREE IS YOUR CHOICE! YOUR GONNA DIE VANELLOPE! YOUR GONNA DIE! HAVE SOME CANDY!"

Vanellope: What the…? That's what King Candy used to say!

Over at Ralph's apartment, Gloyd and Taffyta came to calm Ralph down.

"Look Ralph! Just save her and don't fight!" said Taffyta putting her hand on his back.

Ralph clenched his hands and looked at Taffyta.

"I will do whatever you say Taffyta but at only one exception…" he looked over at Gloyd."Promise me you won't ever attack her or make her cry!"

"I promise Ralph! SAVE VANELLOPE" said Gloyd.

Ralph ran out of his apartment and ran to the dump. Rancis had caught Vanellope and had pulled her hair.

"LET GO OF HER!" said Ralph.

"Why are you here?" growled Rancis.

Ralph ran to Vanellope and pushed Rancis off Vanellope. She hugged Ralph and Rancis got up. He felt as if his body was going up in flames.

"I WILL GET YOU RALPH! YOU WONT LIVE THAT LONG!" said Rancis as he backed away and went back to Sugar Rush.

"Do what you want but don't you dare touch VANELLOPE!"

"Thank You Ralph!" cried Vanellope still hugging Ralph.

"It's alright. Don't worry I won't let that idiot ever touch you."

She looked up at Ralph who put his palms on her face and wiped her tears off.

"What the….? You're bleeding!"

"Don't worry…I'll be fine! I'll just go to my castle and Sour Bill will take care of me"

"No…! You can't go to Sugar Rush looking like that. Come with me"

"Ralph…trust me I'll be fine"

"Vanellope…listen to me! If you go back without anyone with you, Rancis is going to hurt you even more"

"IM FINE RALPH!"

"NO YOU ARE NOT!"

He grabbed her hand and started to head towards his apartment.

"Ralph let go of me!"

"NO!"

"RALPH LET GO OF ME!"

Ralph stopped and looked at her with anger. She too looked at him with anger and slapped him around the face.

"HIT ME AS MUCH AS YOU WANT BUT I WON'T LEAVE YOU UNTIL YOU GET TREATED!"

"STOP IT RALPH!"

"ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!"

He picked her up and put her on his shoulder. She was kicking her legs in the air shouting…

"LET GO ME RALPH!"

He arrived at his apartment and Gloyd as well as Taffyta were standing outside the apartment. Before they could say anything, he walked past them and went to the bathroom with Vanellope. He put her down and closed the door.

"SIT DOWN!"

He walked over to the bathroom closet, got out the bandages and wet a cloth. He walked towards Vanellope and started to dab the wet cloth on to her. She squealed here and there but stopped once he started to tie the bandages on her arm. She stared at him in confusion whilst he tied the bandages.

"Why are you doing this?"

"Look Vanellope…You're hurt"

"But why did you have to do this to me?"

"Because…I need to take care of you"

"Even after what I said and did to you?"

"That doesn't matter…the only thing that matters now is you"

Vanellope smiled and moved his hand from her arm. She got up and looked down at Ralph who raised an eyebrow at her. She sat on Ralphs lap facing him directly in the eyes.

"What are you doing?" questioned Ralph.

"Something I should've done a long time ago"

She put her hands around his neck, her face only a few inches away from his…

"Vanellope…you're getting a bit too close"

And then… kissed him passionately. As that was happening Ralph continuously said…

"This is wrong Vanellope…"

At that moment Taffyta and Gloyd entered the bathroom to find Vanellope and Ralph.

"Oh my Gosh!" shrieked Taffyta.

Ralph and Vanellope broke out and Ralph took her off him gently.

"It's not what I looks like" stuttered Ralph.

"Oh really Ralph. This time you did actually kiss!" smirked Taffyta.

"No I didn't"

"Why are you so scared?"

"I'm not!"

"Its fine don't worry"

Ralph blushed as well as Vanellope.

"I think it would be good if we left you two alone and it's time for us to leave"

"Wait…I don't want you to get attacked again"

"We won't"

"Why don't you just stay over for a few days?"

"You do know it's only Monday!"

"Yeah…Look…I'll drop you guys off to Sugar Rush"

"Alright. So where are we going to stay?"

"Umm…I guess you and Gloyd could stay in my bedroom…"

"What about Vanellope?"

"I guess she could go to sleep in the living room"

"But where?"

"On the sofa"

"Seriously?"

"Don't worry it's a sofa bed"

"What about you?"

"Don't worry…I find my ways" smiled Ralph as he got up. "So I'll leave you here with Gloyd and fix Vanellope's bed"

He walked past Taffyta and went to the living room. Moments later he had fixed the bed for Vanellope and she too had entered the living room…
