Chapter 37-Let There Be Love
The next day in the afternoon, Vanellope talked to her mother, Valeria. As Vanellope walked into the office where Valeria was doing business work, Rancis shortly walked in after.
"Vanellope, what is one of the Fluggerbutter's doing here?" Valeria asked.
"Mom, that's Rancis and he's my boyfriend." Vanellope answered "We don't your little fight between you and his parents to keep us from seeing each other."
"Vanellope, you're too young to understand what I had gone through." Valeria replied "Rancis' father, Donald had ruined my life for a few months when I was 25 because he told a bunch of men that I had one-night encounters on a regular basis."
"Mom, the whole stuff you went through in your 20's is already disgusting to hear about." Vanellope commented "But that's not why we're here. What we want to know is that why aren't you letting me and Rancis see each other."
"I'm trying to protect you as a parent." Valeria answered.
"I don't need you to protect me like this because I'm a growing young girl." Vanellope replied "You don't see Rancis like the way I do. If you're going to fight with his parents, keep it between yourselves and keep us out of it."
"How am I supposed to believe what you say?" Valeria asked.
"Excuse me, Mrs. Von Schweetz." Rancis interrupted "I should let you know that I care for your daughter, Vanellope very much. She's special and strange just the way I want her to be. I want to be with her, because…she's my perfect fit. I assure that whatever my parents have against you, it doesn't stem from my point of view."
"Why can't you do for me the task that I have done for my little brother Lucas?" Vanellope asked her mother "Lucas is friends with Ness Muttonfudge, who just so happens to be the little brother of Taffyta. Even though Taffyta and I dislike each other, we don't keep Lucas and Ness from being friends."
"I didn't know that." Valeria commented.
"Now that you know the example I set for Lucas, why can't you do that for me?" Vanellope asked.
"You're right." Valeria admitted "I've let my feud cloud my judgement. Vanellope, you're lucky to have a guy who admires your quirkiness. Your father, he was really one of the only guys who loved me despite my flaws and I can't rob you of that opportunity. Vanellope, you can resume your relationship with Rancis."
After talking to Valeria, Vanellope and Rancis then talked to Rancis' parents: Donald and Diana. As soon both of them were in the room, both of Rancis' parents were hateful.
"Rancis, how can you find interest with a girl whose mother comes from the Stinson family?" Donald asked.
"May I ask what problem you have with my mother?" Vanellope asked.
"Well, Vanellope, about 21 years ago, your mother had an 'encounter' with me one night and never called me again." Donald answered.
"What else did she do?" Vanellope continued asking.
"That's it." Donald continued answering.
"That's what you're fighting about." Vanellope replied "Aren't you being a little ignorant?"
"Mom and Dad, can I tell you that whatever issues you have with Vanellope's mother, you shouldn't have them with Vanellope." Rancis commented "I think I'm love with her."
"Is that true, Rancis?" Vanellope asked to Rancis.
"I'm sorry, but how am I supposed to believe what Vanellope says considering she's the offspring of that former playgirl?" Diana asked.
"Listen, Mr. and Mrs. Fluggerbutter, I didn't know about this stuff about my mother until a few weeks ago, and I can assure you that you can't put prejudices on me just because of the actions of my mother." Vanellope commented.
"This argument is strictly between you and Mrs. Von Schweetz, why do you have to drag me into it?" Rancis asked.
"We're sorry. I guess it's just irritating because your connection with Vanellope reminds us of Valeria." Diana answered.
"Mom, Vanellope is who she is, not her mother." Rancis replied "She's the very strange of kind of girl that makes me feel amazing. Please, don't rob me of this opportunity, because I love being with her."
"We're sorry, son." Donald admitted "I guess our fight with Valeria, has taken a step too far. We don't have any business to interfere with your relationships."
"So, Rancis, you can continue your relationship with Vanellope." Diana continued.
"Thank you, Mom and Dad." Rancis replied.
Elsewhere, Ralph and Samus were walking over to Snake's house to confront him for his rude behaviour towards Samus. After Ralph knocked on the door, Snake didn't open the door and only answered from the other side of it.
"Who is it?" Snake asked.
"It's Ralph Smith." Ralph answered "I'm Samus' boyfriend. We need to talk…right now."
"I'm sorry, but…I can't come to the door right now." Snake replied nervously.
"Is that so?" Ralph asked.
As Snake walked away from the door, Ralph began to punch the door so hard that it ended up breaking apart. Afterwards, Ralph walked in the room.
"Ding dong!" Ralph rudely greeted.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Snake shouted.
"What's wrong with me is that you have just placed your hands on my girlfriend, Samus." Ralph answered.
Ralph then grabbed onto Snake's shirt and began to lift him up over his head.
"What do you want with Samus, anyway?" Ralph asked "You've got a lot of nerve to go after someone you cheated on her cousin with."
Snake didn't give off any response at the moment.
"Talk right now!" Ralph demanded.
"Alright, I'll talk!" Snake replied "Samus meant a lot to me at the time, and I made mistakes in the past. I thought that if I could get her back, I could fix them. A guy like you doesn't deserve a girl like her."
"You're wrong about that, Snake." Samus commented as she walked in the room.
"Samus, do you see what your boyfriend is doing?" Snake asked "How could you like a guy who gives a threat like this?"
"It's because I told him to." Samus answered "I'm sorry, but this is the only way I can prove to you that I'm through what was done in the past."
"Come on, Samus, think of all the stuff we had in common." Snake replied "We've done shooting practice and fighting training together. What do you see in Ralph?"
"My attractions are chosen by my heart." Samus replied back "And those feelings stem from Ralph and not from you anymore."
"Listen, Snake, is that convincing enough for you?" Ralph asked.
"Alright, I'll leave Samus alone." Snake agreed "Man, you are bigger than everything."
"Thanks for your appreciation." Ralph replied "You've become wiser already. Before I leave, I should tell you that Samus has been the only girl who I've been in a relationship with and she's made me feel a way that I haven't before."
"How much do you care for Samus?" Snake asked.
"I care enough to do this." Ralph answered.
Ralph then dragged Snake outside and threw him to have him land on the trampoline in his backyard. Afterwards, Ralph and Samus walked away together. Elsewhere, Tamora was in the backyard of her house digging through the lawn looking for a precious item. She dug up a few small holes, but was unsuccessful. Tamora's boyfriend, Felix walked into the backyard to visit her and began to walk over to her to comfort her.
"Tamora, what are you doing?" Felix asked.
"I'm looking for my necklace." Tamora answered "I buried it here in my backyard six months ago and I can't find it."
"Why is it so important to you?" Felix continued asking.
"It's because my first boyfriend Bradley gave it to me, and it's the almost been a year since his passing." Tamora continued answering.
"You're going through all this trouble for a necklace?" Felix continued asking.
"You don't get it, do you?" Tamora asked in reply "This item means a lot to me and without it, I—I've tried so hard to move past it, but all the time, it follows me like a haunting spirit. Have you ever experienced something like this before?"
"No, I haven't." Felix replied "But whatever the problem is, don't you think it's time to let it go?"
"I don't think that memory is letting go of me." Tamora answered "I mean, ever since Bradley's passing, things haven't been going well for me. I mean, things right now are about as worse as they could possibly get!"
From what Tamora last said, it started to rain and the rain came down really fast as they were still outside.
"I stand corrected." Tamora admitted.
"What's this really about?" Felix asked "I really want to know."
"I've never been able to get close to anyone for a long time." Tamora answered "It's hard to me to handle all the chatter and emotions. I've had plenty of baggage put onto me, and I don't know anyone who can forgive those flaws."
"I think I could." Felix commented.
"What do you mean?" Tamora asked.
"Tamora, I want to be with you." Felix answered "I have from the first moment that we met each other. I can't explain it, but I believe I'm falling in love with you. Whatever issues you have, I'm not letting them come between us."
"That means so much coming from you." Tamora commented.
"Well, we should get going." Felix commented.
Felix and Tamora then stood back on their feet. As Felix was about to walk away, Tamora grabbed Felix's arm and pulled him closer to herself. As soon as Felix was in front of her, Tamora then kissed Felix on the lips. During their kiss, Felix and Tamora put their arms around each other. They continued kissing each other, even as they were still outside in the rain.
Vanellope and Rancis were both outside in the park as it started to rain that day. Nevertheless, they continued walking.
"Did you really mean what you said back there?" Vanellope asked.
"I meant it when I said that was falling for you." Rancis answered.
"I wonder how you love me for being strange." Vanellope commented.
"You're different and that what's makes you interesting." Rancis replied "Vanellope, the way you are is what makes me want to me come out of my shell."
"No guy has been motivated by me like that." Vanellope commented.
Vanellope and Rancis then kissed each other while they were still outside in the park as it was raining.
Ralph and Samus were also outside as it started to the rain that day, but they still stood outside alongside each other as the rain poured down on them.
"You know, I appreciate you for sticking up for me like that." Samus commented "You certainly come in handy."
"I told you before that I would never let anything happen to you." Ralph commented back.
"I can't believe Snake would come to me and bring back these issues." Samus replied.
"I don't think you have to worry about that anymore." Ralph replied back "All of that is in the past."
"You're one amazing guy, Ralph." Samus commented.
"You're pretty amazing yourself." Ralph commented back.
Ralph and Samus then kissed each other as they were still outside in the rain. The three couples: Felix and Tamora, Vanellope and Rancis, and Ralph and Samus were all outside in the rain that day. The couples all were outside kissing each other as the rain poured down on them. The time the couples spent outside in the rain made them feel romantic emotions and were entirely focused on each other's embrace.
