Over the next couple weeks, Lucy and Mocho enjoyed popularity as popular racers in sugar rush. They weren't played as all the time obviously, but they definitely had their fans. But things were about to change for the 2 kids. One day during work hours, they were about to race on candleheads track, a very hard track full of birthday cakes and repurposed terminators from an old invasion years ago.
The race went as usual for the most part, mocho and Lucy crushing the competition.
"We're doing great Lucy" said Mocho
"Of course we are. Hey I'm getting an itch, could you-
Mocho scratched lucys upper back, much to her pleasure. The 2 reached the hardest part of the track, a large canyon with old hunter killer tanks firing explosive sprinkles at the karts, as well as old t-600 and t-1 and t-7t terminators popping in from giant cakes to fire their weapons. Mocho was always nervous about being here, but he felt safe with Lucy at his side.
Unfortunately today wasn't a good day, as Lucy got shot off the track.
"Stupid kart, start" Lucy shouted
"Come on Lucy" mocho begged
"I'm trying" said Lucy
Before Lucy could react, a t-600 threw her out of her kart and into a big cupcake. Several more terminators approached and started beating her up. Mocho quickly got into Lucys purse and pulled out her lightsaber, which he used to cut down the terminators. They attacked him of course, but he cared more about Lucys well being than his own, and pushed through the pain they gave him. After the race ended, the others immediately rushed to the aid of the 2 kids, Lucy not moving.
Lucy was pulled from the roster as a result and hospitalized while mocho was treated for minor injuries. The doctors said Lucy would be alright, but wouldn't wake up til all her energy came back. Mocho in turn refused to leave her side, much to his family's annoyance.
"No, I'm not leaving my best friend. You can drag me away but I'll just come back" he told them
Mocho was never so determined about anything, and his family reluctantly agreed to let him stay with her. Mocho stayed with Lucy for days, reading her stories, massaging her feet, watching tv, among other things. Occasionally someone would visit and he would talk with them. His favorite person he talked to was oddly Norville.
"So vy are you so interested in Lucy?" He asked
"She's my best friend and I care for her. She watches out for me" said Mocho "She's my only real friend I trust"
"I understand. Not many around here care for her. Look, you seem like someone I can trust, so I'm gonna let you in on a little secret I have, about Lucy"
Norville leaned towards mocho and whispered something in his ears. Mochos ears shot up when he heard it.
"Really? You have a crush on her?" He asked
"Please don't tell her, I'm not ready for her to know yet. I may have cool powers and can go to ozer dimensions or votever, but I'm still shy" said Norville
"Don't worry, your secrets safe with me. I'll let Lucy figure it out on her own" said Mocho
After a couple weeks, Lucy got better and had woken up. She appreciated mocho staying with her during the time she was unconscious. Eventually the new track the game was promised was made and Vanellope did an unveiling ceremony before the arcade opened. It seemed to be based on mochos abilities, and themed around chocolate. Mocho sat behind Lucy as she prepared to race through the new track.
"Can't believe I inspired this track" said Mocho
"Enjoy this popularity while it lasts, we won't be popular forever" said Lucy
"I know. But I will enjoy every moment of this til that happens" said Mocho
Sorry if this felt rushed mangle but I ran out of ideas and I just wanted to get this over with. Being honest I'm running out of ideas for this story and only have a few left. Mangle, dusty, enjoy this while it lasts
