Lucy sat in the castle garage, tinkering with her go kart, the sweet revenge. She hadn't raced in days, wanting to make herself better. She tried out several power ups and different upgrades, but none proved good for her kart, malfunctioning or making her slower. Lucy decided her best bet was to go fast, but she wasn't sure how. It had been nearly 2 weeks since her incident and the reasons she went mad still went through her head. She kicked a tool box aside, frustrated. Lucky for her, mocho had come by to see her

"Hey Lucy, any luck?" He asked

"No. I don't know what to do anymore" said Lucy

"Maybe you just need a little fresh air" said Mocho

"Maybe you're right, I could use some. You wanna go for a walk?" Lucy asked

Mocho smiled and wagged his tail in response. Lucy grabbed her purse and the 2 started walking away from the castle.

(Meanwhile at the track)

Kevin had just won another race and was congratulating the player before the game ended. Once it did, he merely threw his trophy to the side and sat back in his kart.

"Your sis still bothering you?" Jr asked

"She going crazy again?" Norville asked

"No, she's fine. Her pills are working as planned, it's just that nothing she's doing to her kart is working. She's becoming depressed" said Kevin

"Ve vont to cheer her up but she keeps denying my requests to hang out. She promised me ve could grab a bite and get me some pearls too, maybe my ears pierced. She keeps pushing it off. I hate it" said Christie "I don't really care zat much about ze last 2 zings, I just want to be vith my best friend again, like old times sake"

"I know Christie. I'll talk to her after the races. See if I can do anything for her kart" said Kevin

"Part of me wishes she just stuck vith baking, said zere can't be a princess baker" said Christie

"Wasn't there a baker king in that Sofia the first show you and Lucy used to watch on Disney plus?" Kevin asked

"zats exactly vot I said, she said zat didn't count" said Christie

"Of course Lucy would say that. Don't worry Christie, I'll have a talk with her later." Said Kevin

(Back with Lucy)

Lucy enjoyed her walks with mocho, she enjoyed the peace and quiet.

"So, anything new besides-

"No" Lucy replied

"Of course. Sorry I asked" said Mocho

The 2 reached the rainbow bridge that led to the games exit.

"Wanna go outside the game? Take a walk outside?" Lucy asked

"I don't know lucy, seems kind of-

"Please?" Lucy asked

Mocho thought for a moment, but agreed to leave the game. Upon entering the game station, they were stopped by the surge protector.

"Hey, where do you think you're-

"I'm not part of gameplay today and my friend isn't a playable character now go away" lucy snapped

"Fine, just don't be seen by players" said Surge

"They wouldn't like me anyway" Lucy muttered

After taking a lap around the station, Lucy and mocho went to tappers. They sat in a private room for during game hours, characters from unplugged games or non playables usually drank here. Right now they were alone at a table, drinking mugs of cola.

"You'll get the players to like you, in your own special way" said Mocho

"I tried a new outfit, different power ups, I don't know why people don't like me. I can't even give my kart a good power up. Plus I have to take these stupid pills to control my anger" said Lucy

"Hey how about I work on your kart? I'm sure I can think of something to help you" said Mocho

"Go ahead, knock yourself out. I'm just gonna stay here, drink some more" said Lucy

"Ok. I'm gonna make you happy no matter what. I promise Lucy" said Mocho as he left the bar

Lucy waved goodbye before finishing her soda. She twirled her fingers around her pearl necklace and looked at her reflection in the mug.

"I am such a pretty girl. Why doesn't anyone like me?" Lucy asked herself

"I can't answer that, but you are a pretty kid. You ok kid?"

Lucy looked up to see a man in a white suit with glowing blue lights over it.

"I've been better" said Lucy

"So have I. You're one of them sugar rush racers right? I've seen your kind before. Names TRON, I'm from TRON"

"I've heard of it, never been in there. Wasn't your game unplugged?" Lucy asked

"For repairs. It's being delivered today back to the arcade. Since you're here you obviously don't have anything going on for you back home. Why don't you come back with me? See what my game has to offer" said TRON

"Yeah, why not. Got nothing to lose" said Lucy

(Later that day)

Back in sugar rush, the roster race was ending. Lucy approached her brother and friends.

"Hey guys"

"Lucy, surprised to see you. Vot brings you here?" Jr asked

"I thought I'd take my friend Christie out for a bite to eat and hang out with her like I promised" said Lucy

"You're serious?" Christie asked hopefully

"That's right. I'm in a great mood. I did some things today and found a new purpose. I'll explain some other time, now come on Christie, let's hit the spa" said Lucy

Lucy hopped in Christie's kart and the 2 drove off towards Main Street.

"New purpose? I vonder Vot zat is" jr asked

"Heck if I know. I'll talk to Lucy tonight, see if she opens up" said Kevin

(Later)

Jr and Norville sat in one of their houses play rooms playing video games on their tv. Jr checked his watch and spoke to his brother.

"Christie's been gone 5 hours, you zink she'll be home soon?" Jr asked

"I'm sure she's fine vith Lucy. Besides it's an off day tomorrow" said Norville

Christie then walked in and sat next to her brothers, she looked a little different. She now sported a pearl necklace, a new red jacket and shiny boots, a bag full of new outfits and a new red and black purse. Her ears were also pierced with dangling cherry earrings like lucys.

"Vell, Vot do you guys zink of my new look?" Christie asked

"You look beautiful sis" said Norville

"Lucy seems pretty generous today Don't you zink?" Jr asked

"She seemed pretty happy. Zough oddly enough she didn't pay for anyzing in coins, some money from another game, can't tell Vot game zough" said Christie

"Did she say vhere she vos today? Kevin says Lucy von't tell him" said Jr

"She didn't say. She seemed so happy I didn't vont to ruin ze mood. But I can assure you she still has zose pills and isn't doing somezing stupid" said Christie

"Zats good to know. Eizer vay you look beautiful sis, zough I didn't expect you to go vith zose as piercings" said Norville pointing to her earrings

"Standard issue in sugar rush, I'll probably replace zem later on, don't know yet. Vell I'm gonna get ready for bed. Goodnight guys" said Christie as she gathered her stuff

"Night sis" the 2 told her

After Christie left, norville looked at his brother.

"I sense somezing off vith Lucy. I better investigate" said Norville

"Now?" Jr asked

"No not now, but next time she leaves ze game. Don't vont anozer incident like ze volcano again" said Norville
