As the three began on their journey to get Vanellope a new kart Ralph seemed displeased to say the least.

"C'mon, lighten up Ralph," Lorain smiles, nudging him with her elbow.

"Who are you again?" Ralph asks, raising an eyebrow at her, "I, my dear friend, am Lorain Licorice-Twist. One of the daring Licorice-Twins who-"

"Yeah, don't care," Ralph cuts her off as he ducks under a lollypop tree.

Lorain's smile droops as she looks up at him, "Are you mad about something? Cause I think you are, but that doesn't mean you can take your anger out on me." They three come to a stop twenty feet away from the entrance to the Kart Bakery.

"Listen, Lorain, was it?" Ralph says turning to her, "I don't care if you're the first lady or whatever. That's great for you, but the only reason I'm even in this game is to get my medal back. Then I'm gone. So I suggest you just give me some space while we're in here, cause I have a feeling that if you and your uppity little attitude stay this close to me all day, that you're going to get game over more times than you can count!" He raises a hand threateningly.

"Hey!" Vanellope glitched in front of Lorain protectively, "Stop that, Ham Hands!"

Ralph looked at her before looking at his raised fist and closing his eyes, sighing as he lowered his hands, "Look, I'm sorry, Lorain. It's just….that medal means a lot to me and I really need to get it back."

The licorice racer smiles weakly up at him and places a hand on his shoulder, "It's okay, Ralph. But…I think it would be best if you and Vanellope went on this little quest alone, okay? It would probably be a good idea if one of us stayed behind anyway, right? You know? Keep King Candy off your scent so you guys can get this done quickly."

Vanellope looks up at Lorain in sudden sadness, "But you said-"

"I know what I said but now that I think about it, it's a good idea for someone to stay behind and keep King Candy busy. He's out here hunting for you, Vanellope. I need to keep him away long enough for you to get that Kart."

"Okay…" Vanellope says with a sigh, "Just meet us at my house after we get the kart…okay?"

"Of course," Lorain smiles and kisses Vanellope on the forehead before she looks up at Ralph and pats him on the shoulder once, "I'll see you later than, Hm?"

He gives a nod and Lorain takes off back towards the castle where she knew King Candy must be.

The licorice racer pushes open the doors to the castle, looking around, "Yo, King C? You in here?"

"Hello, Lorain…"

Lorain jumps and looks down at her feet at Sour Bill, "Bill? Where's King Candy?"

"In the garage working on his kart I think…" Sour Bill says slowly.

"Alright, thanks Bill," Lorain goes to walk past him but Bill grabs her leg.

"You can't leave yet. Someone wants to talk to you," Bill says looking up at her.

"Who?" Lorain asks, as Sour Bill releases her leg and looks towards the throne. She looks in the same direction and sees Landon picking away at the throne as she had once done. She locks her jaw, "What are you doing here, Brother?"

He looks over at her and gets to his feet, brushing off his pants, "Alright, Lorain, now I just want you to keep an open mind-"

"To hell with that!" Lorain snaps, "What do you want?"

"I want you to know the truth," Landon says, intertwining his fingers with each other, "First of all…I want to tell you how sorry I am."

Lorain suddenly went very pale, "…What did you do…?"

"In the beginning I was jealous…of how you were always better than me. Of how much more popular you were than me. Every single one of those kids that entered that cheat code...they all picked you, Lorain. That's why for the last few years I've hated you and…"

"What did you do, Landon?" Lorain nearly wailed.

"I-I…" Landon looked down at his feet and clenched his eyes closed.

"Landon!" Lorain yelled.

"…I messed with your coding…"

Lorain dropped to her knees. When she forgot about Vanellope…that was him. He had found the code room and messed with her coding. Those gaps in her memory were his doing. But when he realised the images of Vanellope were being replaced with King Candy he panicked and must have put them back, thinking she would flip out at King Candy for deceiving her. When it didn't go his way Landon must have tried to convince her otherwise by coming to the castle and telling her himself that King Candy was no good for her…

"It was you…a-all this time…" Lorain stared with empty eyes at her brother.

Landon cringed at her and sucked in a breath, "I'm so sorry, Lori. I-"

"Get out! Get out of this castle! Get out of my life! I hate you!" Lorain cried, tears stinging her eyes, "I hate you!"

Her brother was startled at her sudden outburst, "L-Lori…"

"No! Get out!" Lorain pointed at the door, "Get away from me before you fudge up my life even more than you already have! I don't know what's true or not anymore! Just get out!"

Landon shook but slowly walked towards the castle doors and opened them at the same time.

"I'm sorry…Sister…"

Then he was gone.

Lorain hugged herself tightly as she shakily got to her feet and began to walk towards the garage at the end of the hallway. As she walked she began to pull herself back together. This wasn't the time to be all emotional. She had to stay focused on her simple task. Keep King Candy busy long enough for Vanellope to make her kart.

She paused outside of the garage door and took a few moments to recompose herself. Then she closed her eyes and took one last breath before opening the door. There was a flow of rock music coming from a radio on one of the work benches and a pair or white and red striped legs poked out from under the kart, one foot tapping along to the music.

Lorain couldn't help but smile as she walked over and stood over his legs. She quietly hopped up into the kart and sat in the driver seat before she raised a hand and pushed it down on the horn. The horn blared and she heard a bang underneath the kart and bit her lip.

A very startled Turbo rolled out from under the kart and jumped to his feet, spinning around and facing Lorain in fright and anger. As soon as he saw her he let out a relieved sigh and glared at her, "You nearly gave me a heart attack, Toots."

"You're not in disguise," Lorain smirks, sitting on the back of the seat, "Someone could come in and see you, you know."

He looked at her for a moment, his suit was unzipped halfway down and hung around his hips. He wore a dark grey tank top underneath and had a good amount of grease on his upper body. "I know," Turbo says, looking at the car she sat in with a small smile on his face.

She looked down and blinked, "Is this…what I think it is…?"

He smiled and gave a simple nod, "My old car from Turbo Time."

"Aren't you afraid someone will see you working on it in here?" Lorain questioned, running her hands over the steering wheel.

Turbo shook his head, "No. Sour Bill knows that no one is to come in here while I'm working."

"Then why did he let me in here?" Lorain asks, looking over at him.

"I trust you," Turbo says simply, wiping the grease off his hands with a rag, "And you already know who I really am so there's no point to hide from you."

"Hm…" Lorain hums and looks over at the radio, "I didn't picture 'King Candy' as one for liking rock and roll."

"He's not," he smirks, before tossing the rag onto the ground, "But Turbo is."

She laughed slightly at this and pushed a red curl behind her ear.

"I forgot to ask, what was it that Wynnchel and Duncan got so worked up about?" Turbo asks, fixing the gloves on his hands.

"Nothing really, just Wynnchel and Duncan being…Wynnchel and Duncan," Lorain laughed.

Turbo chuckled and ran a hand through his sweaty black hair. He looked over at her as he wiped the grease off his face with the back of his hand, "You know, I think I'm gonna head out and try to find the glitch." Lorain blinked before she jumped out of the car.

"You can't leave yet!" She blurted out.

He turned to her in confusion, "Why not?"

"Because…Because…" Lorain glanced around the room for an excuse before she collapsed backwards into the front seat of his car, legs hanging over the door.

Lorain peeked one of her eyes open to see a confused Turbo looming over her, "What are you doing?"

"I suddenly feel lightheaded," Lorain touched her hand to her forehead before grabbing his hand and pushed it against her face, "To I feel warm to you?"

"Lori, I'm wearing gloves," he smirks down at her, "And now you have grease on your face."

"I do?" Lorain furrows her brow and pushes his hand back, trying to see her forehead and failing.

Turbo laughs and slips off his gloves, "Here, I'll get it." He uses one hand to cup the back of her neck and raise her face closer to his while the other hand wiped the black grease from her forehead. He looked down at her, "There. All gone…"

Lorain stared up at him, biting her lip as she thought of another way to distract him from looking for Vanellope. Then she paused and her eyes flew to his lips as an idea bloomed in her mind. But before she could put her plan into action Turbo did it for her. Lorain closed her eyes as he kissed her, her arms sliding around his neck as she hugged him close to her. The scent of oil and dirt filled her nose, something completely different from what she was used to smelling in this game. Lorain smiled against his lips, fingers running through his hair.

"Sir!"

Both jumped and Turbo turned angrily towards the door where the voice came from, "What!? I'm busy!"

"It's the glitch! She's in the kart bakery!" Sour Bill said with an unusual urgency.

"What?!" Turbo jumped to his feet and spun to face the door.

Lorain watched him glitch into his King Candy and rush out of the room. She groaned, closed her eyes and let her head fall back onto the seat, "Fudge…"

"Hey."

Lorain jumped, looking up as King Candy held out a hand to her.

"You coming, Toots?" He asked. She nodded and grabbed his hand, pulling herself upright as King Candy places a hand on the car, glitching it so it looked like his kart used in the on screen races. He hops in beside her and pulls on a seatbelt, looking over at her, "All set?"

"Uh huh," Lorain says as the garage door opens.

"Let's go get that glitch," King Candy smirks and the car roars to life.
