Start Your Engines Chapter 36: The End :'(
Nope, no reviews to reply to. I've got something so special planned for you guys :) And just a final thank-you for being such loyal reviewers. Thank you to Agent BM for letting me use Spike the Devil Dog in this story AND for allowing me access to his OC, Kevin, Rancis and Vanellope's son from his stories.
(Nine Months Later)
Nine months had passed since the two couples had gotten married. And in that time, Ralph and Samus had tied the knot, Torvald and M. Bison had gotten engaged along with Swizzle and Jubileena, Oreo had grown up to full size and Herschel had opened up his Movie Theatre. He called it, 'Herschel's Flix.' Also, Herschel, Rancis, Swizzle and Gloyd had gotten into racing NASCAR after hours since the NASCAR game had been plugged-in. However, currently, Herschel and Rancis were waiting in anticipation, their wives giving birth to their children.
"Come on Wipp, just keep pushing, I'm right here," Herschel assured his severely pregnant wife. The two were in Super Mario Bros. as Dr. Mario was helping Sticky give birth to their first child. Since the couple loved surprises so much, they wanted to find out if it was a boy or a girl when Sticky gave birth. Herschel held his beloved wife's hand, helping her through her immense pain.
"YOU GOT ME FAT!" Sticky screamed at him, "I'M GONNA KILL YOU FOR DOING THIS TO ME!" She yelled. The Aussie turned to Dr. Mario to ask him a simple question.
"Is that the medicine talking Doc?" He asked. Dr. Mario cleared his throat and looked away from Sticky to reply to Herschel.
"Eh, most-a likely," Dr. Mario replied. Sticky screamed in pain yet again and she crushed Herschel's hand. "AHHHHH!" He screamed in pain and held onto his pained hand.
"My hand!" he cried. Sticky turned her head and glared at her husband.
"Like you have room to talk you pussy!" she yelled yet again at him. One of the nurses shot novocaine into Herschel's hand, numbing it almost immediately. The Aussie breathed a sigh of relief and grabbed ahold of his wife's hand again.
"Okay, I see-a the head, just one last-a big push Mrs. Nougatson," Dr. Mario ordered. Gathering up all the strength she could and pushed, and pushed and pushed. Herschel believed for a brief moment that his eardrums would explode from the high pitch of his wife's painful screams. "Almost-a there!" Mario encouraged. Sticky persistently kept pushing until a high pitched scream from below was heard. Instantly, Sticky felt relieved and pain-free. Remembering how she yelled at her husband, she turned back to him with a warming smile.
"I love you Hershey," she reassured.
"Tell that to my hand Darlin'," Herschel joked. The two new parents looked down at Dr. Mario who stood up, holding their first child. "So, what is it Doc?" Herschel excitedly asked.
"Is my baby a boy or a girl?" Sticky impatiently asked. Mario looked down and looked back up with a smile.
"It's a little girl, and a beautiful girl at that, Congratulations," he said happily and handed her over to Sticky. Sticky used the blanket and wiped the gunk off her baby.
"She's so beautiful," Sticky gushed and kissed the top of her baby's head. "Hi little one, welcome to the world," the teal colored woman said. The little baby slightly opened its eyes and smiled at its mommy. "Aww, she knows I'm her mommy," Sticky gushed.
"Can I see her Wipp?" Herschel asked and outstretched his arms to Sticky. Slowly, she handed over the baby to Herschel, who almost broke down in tears at the life in his arms. "I can't believe we made something so beautiful Sticky," the Aussie let a tear or two slip down his cheeks. "Hey there, I'm your daddy," he whispered to his little baby girl. The baby laughed slightly as Herschel hugged her.
"You'll be a great dad Hershey," Sticky commented when Herschel handed the little bundle of joy back to his wife.
"And you'll be a perfect mother Sticky," Herschel grinned and hugged his two girls. Dr. Mario cleared his throat and held up a birth certificate.
"Okay, she's-a 7 pounds, 3 ounces and she is-a 17 inches tall," Dr. Mario explained, "now all-a we need-a is a name," he added and clicked his blue pen. Herschel and Sticky looked down at the baby and back up at each other.
"Whitney?" Herschel suggested.
"Brandy?" Sticky suggested.
"Delana?" Herschel asked.
"Ingrid?" Sticky asked.
"Ella?" Herschel asked. Sticky's eyebrow cocked upwards, feeling that she knew that name from somewhere. "It's Jeff Gordon's daughter's name," Herschel explained. Sticky looked down at her now sleeping daughter, smiled and nodded.
"Middle name-a?" Mario asked.
"Torvald," Sticky exclaimed.
"Perfect, after her Aunt," Herschel smiled again and tickled Ella's belly.
"Alright-a, Ella Torvald Nougatson, beautiful," Mario commented as he had the parents sign the Birth Certificate.
"I wonder how Vanellope's birthing is going?" Sticky commented as she let Ruth feed on her milk.
(With Vanellope and Rancis)
"Should we call an Exorcist?" Rancis suggested as Vanellope was screaming in pain as Dr. Goodbar was helping her give birth to their son.
"No, not necessary Mr. Fluggerbutter," Dr. Goodbar assured him.
"A-are you sure, 'cause this is pretty freaky," Rancis admitted and cowered in fear of his wife.
"You'll see freaky when I get ahold of you Flugs for making me fat and crave fatty food!" Vanellope threatened in a demonic voice. She was glitching all over as she pushed with all her might to give birth to her son. Rancis drew a cross with his hands across the front of his body and muttered a prayer.
"Okay Mrs. Fluggerbutter, one last BIG push," Dr. Goodbar encouraged.
"I'll 'push' it right up in there!" Vanellope threatened and pushed with all her might. She glitched more violently, causing even the Dr. to glitch.
"Dear sweet Mod," Rancis breathed frightfully. But, his mood swung to that of pure joy as a little baby boy was produced from his wife. Vanellope finally stopped glitching and her voice returned to normal.
"Whew, what a workout," she breathed and wiped her brow. "Wow Flugs, he looks JUST like you, except with his mommy's hair," Vanellope commented on her baby. The doctor handed him over to his mommy.
"He sure is a handsome fella," Rancis tickled the baby's nose, causing it to sneeze. Suddenly, the baby glitched into Rancis' arms, wanting to be held by his daddy.
"WOAH! And he can glitch like his mommy! Rock on," Vanellope cheered.
"He's gonna be trouble then," Rancis joked.
"Any name idea's Rancis?" Vanellope asked as she cradled her baby boy next to her breast to feed it.
"Well, it's not very 'Sugar Rushy,'" he air-quoted, "but I was thinking like Kevin maybe?" he suggested. Vanellope thought about it for a minute before a smile spread across her face.
"I love it Flugs," Vanellope replied, "Kevin Ralph Fluggerbutter, I love that name," she commented as Kevin fell asleep.
"Well then, let's get you guys home to rest then," Dr. Goodbar smiled. Rancis helped his wife to a wheel chair and handed her her baby and wheeled her out of the hospital. Coincidentally, Vanellope's wheel chair bumped into Sticky's as they left their room.
"*GASP* your baby is SO cute!" Sticky gushed over Kevin.
"So is yours, nice job guys," Vanellope replied. As the doctors wheeled the mothers out, Herschel and Rancis looked at each other with horrified expressions on their faces.
"Was it hell for you too Rancis?" Herschel asked as he lifted up his bandaged hand.
"Literally, it was like she was possessed by the devil or something," Rancis said in fear as he remembered what happened.
"By the way, you better keep your boy away from my girl," Herschel warned Rancis.
(At the castle)
"You've probably wondered why all four of us have called you all here," Vanellope announced as she held Kevin.
"Can we hold your kid?" Ralph asked excitedly.
"Hold your horses Stinkbrain," Vanellope interjected.
"Sticky and Herschel, you can start," Rancis said.
"Torvald, Major Bison," Herschel started, "since you are our immediate family, we want to ask you to be the Godparents of Ella," Herschel asked. Torvald almost fainted as she heard the news.
"Y-you want me?" she asked in disbelief.
"You're my sister Torvald, you've always looked out for me," Sticky explained, "there's no one I would trust with my baby more than you," she smiled and let Torvald hold Ella. Torvald almost started crying. "Her full name is Ella Torvald Nougatson," Sticky explained.
"I love you Sticky!" Torvald cried out and held Ella.
"So, does that mean you want us as Kevin's godparents?" a very pregnant Samus asked Vanellope.
"You are my parents practically, but yes we do, whaddya say Stinkbrain?" Vanellope asked. Ralph held Kevin in his arms and almost began to tear up as well. "We even named him Kevin Ralph Fluggerbutter," Vanellope sweetly added.
"We'd be honored," Ralph exclaimed as he snuggled the little baby. Suddenly, Sour Bill entered the room with a Digital Camera on a tripod.
"What's the meaning of this intrusion Bill?" Rancis asked.
"Hold on Flugs, I've got this," Vanellope said, "why are you interrupting our family meeting cough drop?" she demanded.
"Family picture," Sour Bill explained.
"Oh, well that's okay then," Vanellope replied as everyone got set up. Ralph stood behind Samus and Vanellope, arms around the two's necks as Vanellope and Rancis held Kevin in each arm. M. Bison and Torvald stood behind Sticky and Herschel as the two held Ruth. The two groups stood next to each other as Sour Bill got the camera set up.
"Okay, say family," Sour Bill instructed.
"FAMILY!" The two groups exclaimed as Sour Bill took the picture. As the groups disbanded from the picture, the roar of go-kart engines sounded from afar.
"You guys up for one last race before the day is out?" Vanellope suggested.
"Of course Nelly," Rancis replied.
"I'm game," Sticky said. All eyes cast upon Herschel as he chewed on a toothpick he got from out of nowhere. He pulled it from his mouth and looked up at his best friends and smiled.
"Start Your Engines," was all he said with a smile.
End Start Your Engines
The camera froze and the scene faded to black as the sound of a quarter dropping into an arcade game filled the air. The screen faded up to an 8-bit version of Herschel's kart's hood. It opened up to reveal an 8-Bit motor with the words "Directed by Mason Gordon" on top of the motor.
When can we do this again?
When can I see you again?
When can we do this again?
When can I see you again?
When can we do this again?
When can I see you again?
The screen shows The Sugar Rush racers as Herschel appears holding the Sugar Rush Cup. The words, "Produced by Fifty Below Zero Studios" appeared.
Switch on the sky and the stars glow for you
Go see the world 'cause it's all so brand new
Don't close you eyes 'cause your futures's ready to shine
It's just a matter of time before we learn how to fly
Welcome to the rhythm of the night
There's something in the air you can't deny
The screen showed Sticky and Herschel as they tore through Game Central Station in Wonderboy, while Surge Protector scolded them.
It's been fun but now I've got to go
Life is way too short to take it slow
But before I go and hit the road
I gotta know, 'til then, when can we do this again?
Oh oh oh oh
The screen shows Maverick and Goose as they shoot down Cybugs with their missiles while the words, "Executive Producer: Mason Gordon" appeared.
When can I see you again?
Oh oh oh oh
When can we do this again?
Oh oh oh oh
I gotta know, when can I see you again?
[When can I see you again?]
Joined at the hip, yeah your sidekick needs you
Life is a trip down the road that leads you
Look all around at all the mountains you haven't climbed
The next thing that appeared on the screen was the Ghostbusters as they fired their proton packs at several Ghosts in Sugar Rush.
It's just a matter of time before we learn how to fly
Welcome to the rhythm of the night
There's something in the air you can't deny
It's been fun but now I've got to go
Life is way too short to take it slow
But before I go and hit the road
I gotta know, 'til then, when can we do this again?
Oh oh oh oh
Next, the screen showed Vanellope and Rancis as they fought off hordes of angry CyBugs with their Kart weapons. Then, Turbo's head pops out of the ground, only to be smashed back down by Ralph.
When can I see you again?
Oh oh oh oh
When can we do this again?
Oh oh oh oh
I gotta know, when can I see you again?
Don't close you eyes 'cause you futures's ready to shine
It's just a matter of time before we learn how to fly
Welcome to the rhythm of the night
There's something in the air you can't deny
So let me know before I wave goodbye

Thank you all so much for reading this story. And thanks again for helping me make this my most reviewed (200+) story, and my longest (36 chapters) story. I honestly never believe it would turn out this popular. I seriously know how humble Jeff Gordon feels about having such loyal fans like this. Now, if you are not mentioned here, I am NOT trying to alienate ANYBODY. It just means you came along a little too late to be mentioned like this. BUT, if you return for the sequel, you WILL be mentioned.
Dark Demon122: You are the Kathy Bates to my James Caan. I just can't thank you enough for your hyper support and I hope to keep you entertained with my storeis.
Agent BM: Bro, you honestly are an underrated author and I'm glad to have someone like you reviewing my stories, I'm humbled. Keep on writing and I'm sure you'll have a story that gets 100 reviews
Smokescreen2814: Just like Agent BM, I really enjoy your stories. You two have so much originality. And that's one of the things I look for in stories. Thank God for FanFiction.
VickyT36: You came on a little later, but it's better late than never. But, your stories I swear are filled with so much hilarity. You BETTER go into a filed with comedy, the comedy world needs you.
LordCandyCane: There's my 100th and 200th reviewer. Always giving honest opinions and reviews, you're the Jeff Gordon of reviewers. Always honest. I like that in an author. Please keep writing, I am so curious to see what you come up with next.
Ranellope Forever: The one that kept pushing me to update more often. Without you, I probably would only be on Chapter 28, so thanks for pushing me to update faster :)
michael morelli: Always enjoyed reading your reviews. I can tell you are a huge Rancis and Vanellope fan. Just curious, when will you start writing Rancis/Vanellope stories?
A Shining Yoshi Star: Your reviews are always detailed. And I love your reactions to the comedic parts of the story.
Dixie Darlin': Just like in Nights of Lightning, you are always one of the first to review and I can't thank you enough for your feedback. And supporting me when I bitched about a chapter being to short when it turned out to be long lol. I love talking with you and educating you on racing ;)
Well that's it, thank you again for reading this story and keep your eyes peeled for the sequel! Start Your Engines 2: High Velocity. Good night and God bless and DO NOT FORGET ABOUT THE SPRINT UNLIMITED!
(EXTRA SCENE!)
A computer screen lit up the darkness of a room with an IM chat going on. One person contributing to the chat was named 'Mr. White' while the other two were 'Mr. Gray' and Ms. Indigo.
Ms. Indigo: So, what do we do about this?
Mr. White: We have to act fast, the arcade is falling apart with all these cross gaming couples
Mr. Gray: Simple, we send a message. If they don't return to what the arcade was before, we start Terminating game characters. We might even rid the arcade of those Sugar Rushers, they've been nothing but trouble ever since that brat regained control of the game.
Mr. White: But we have to be careful. Ever since that idiot Turbo was discovered and killed, the SP has been more strict on the traveling to different games
Ms. Indigo: As usual, the woman saves the day, we frame someone with murder. And while the arcade is trying to figure out the culprit, we start hacking some game codes
Mr. Gray: Perfect Plan. The time for me to go is here. The Perfect Three Out!
Mr. Gray is Now offline
Ms. Indigo is now offline
"Mhmm, we tried to warn you before, but now the arcade must pay for its sins," Mr. White threatened while looking at security cameras of the Sugar Rushers, Ralph, Felix, Calhoun, the Street Fighters and the NASCAR racers. "Just you wait, your Salvation is here," Mr. White squeezed an aluminum can until his fingers bled.
