Chapter 36-Remaining Unbroken
After Ralph and Vanellope finished telling that story, one of Ralph's cousins asked a question.
"So, what did you do to get back at Taffyta and Turbo?" One of the cousins asked.
"Well, we thought of a revenge scheme." Vanellope explained "But then as we thought through it, we realized that our revenge wouldn't really do our situation any justice. You see, the best thing to do in times like these is to just turn the other cheek and pray that-"
However, before Vanellope could finish her sentence, Sour Bill walked up to her.
"Excuse me, Vanellope, but someone is at the door asking for you." Sour Bill informed.
"I'll be right back." Vanellope informed.
As Vanellope walked to the front door, she opened it and saw that Taffyta was outside with blue skin and red hair.
"Look at me!" Taffyta shouted.
Vanellope then laughed after seeing Taffyta. Earlier that week, as revenge for having a wild party at the Von Schweetz house, Ralph and Vanellope had put blue dye in Taffyta's swimming pool and red hair dye in her shampoo bottle. On that day, Vanellope saw the result of that situation.
"Taffyta, here's a word of advice." Vanellope answered "The next time you have a party, have it stay away from my house."
"What have you done to me?" Taffyta shouted "You've turned me into a freak."
"That sounds familiar." Vanellope mentioned "I'm pretty sure that's what you call me and Ralph on a regular basis."
"Do you know what will happen when I tell the other Candy Girls?" Taffyta asked.
"But who will take you word, now that you're one of us?" Vanellope asked in reply using a deep voice.
"Why did you do this?" Taffyta asked in reply.
"I've tried my best to befriend you, but you played me." Vanellope answered "How could you take advantage of me like that? You know, I really was trying to be your friend."
"I didn't think you were." Taffyta commented "Considering how you have stolen my thunder ever since you've come along. I thought you were going to play me."
"Well, you thought wrong." Vanellope replied "You probably shouldn't make up assumptions on people. By the way, don't worry. The blue and red dye will come out in about a few days."
Vanellope then closed the door on Taffyta. However, Taffyta wasn't the only one who got an embarrassing comeuppance. Earlier, Ralph and Vanellope got revenge on Turbo by planting a mixture of eggs, honey, and feathers in his helmet, plus they had changed the colour of his white jumpsuit by putting a red sock in his washing machine to turn it pink. When Turbo took off his helmet that day, he noticed his hair covered in feathers and couldn't get them out because it was stuck with the honey and eggs.
Meanwhile, as Vanellope was talking to Taffyta, Samus was by herself outside of the crowd until Ralph walked up to her.
"Is there something bugging you?" Ralph curiously asked.
"It's nothing." Samus answered "It's just that I needed a moment of thought."
"Come on, you can tell me." Ralph replied.
"Snake is still pestering me." Samus explained "I just can't get him to leave me alone. Yesterday, he bothered me as a left my house."
Samus then recalled the last time she encountered Snake. Snake was outside her house on his skateboard and began to talk to her as she went towards the sidewalk.
"Hello, Samus, its fancy meeting you here." Snake greeted.
"Don't lie to me, Snake." Samus replied in an upset tone "You already know that I live here."
"How else I am supposed to talk to you?" Snake asked.
"You can try not talking to me again since I don't want you around me anymore." Samus answered "Why do you even want me back anyway? Are you unable to get with my cousin Kitana again?"
"Come on, you know I'm doing my best to change my ways." Snake replied.
"So, change your ways, Snake." Samus requested "I just don't want to be with you anymore. I'm dating a good guy."
"Come on, Ralph is no 'good guy.'" Snake replied "Have you heard of all the crazy stuff he's done in the past?"
"Oh, please, your act of cheating on me totally ranks higher on the mischief-o-meter." Samus replied back "Besides, he's become such an amazing guy now."
Snake then grabbed onto Samus' arm as she was just about to walk away.
"Snake, will you please let go of me?" Samus angrily asked.
"Why is it so hard for you to believe how I'm changing?" Snake asked in reply.
"It's probably because you really haven't." Samus answered "You're still so aggressive and I deserve better than the harsh treatment you give me."
Snake then pulled Samus close to kiss on her lips. After that, Samus felt very irritated by Snake's actions, that she punched him on the face. The punch caused him to fall down to the ground.
"Don't ever come near me again!" Samus shouted.
"Listen, Samus-" Snake interrupted.
"Leave me alone!" Samus shouted.
But as Snake continued to come near her, Samus punched him repeatedly which hurt him really bad. Snake then ran off as Samus began to walk all by herself as she felt really upset because he went too far. After Samus finished telling Ralph that story, they began to talk to each other.
"It left me feeling scarred for a bit as if I had lost my advantage." Samus explaining "I thought that by telling anyone would put blame on me."
"Listen, I know that Snake has put harm on you, but you don't have to hide these things." Ralph replied "I want to be there for you."
"Ralph, Snake has been going too far trying to get me." Samus replied back "I have a feeling something bad might happen."
Ralph then hugged Samus very tightly.
"I would never let anything happen to you." Ralph admitted.
Ralph then kissed Samus on the lips. After they kissed, they went back to Ralph's family reunion. As the day continued, Ralph and his friends continued to enjoy the company of Hancock family as the reunion continued that day in the backyard of Von Schweetz Mansion.
