Thank you for the reviews and feedbacks.
IMPORTANT NEWS: I'm not sure if it's a bad new or good new, depending on your view. Some of you must know that my friend have asked me to help him out with his game project for free coding lessons and my other plans…Um…Guess what? I just checked my email and found out that the friend decide that he want to start the game project early than expected and it will start somewhere around mid of October. (Second or third week) So…Yeah…That will cut the writing time down to about two to three hours, give or take (Depend on the process). Because of that, I decide to change from mass update to Story Countdown. It mean that I will update a story's planned chapters once they are completed and you can see how many chapters or stories that are planned to update in my profile…Once it reach to Zero (0), I'm officially on hiatus. If you remember the update poll that the mass update won, I'm really sorry about that. I don't know that was going to happen but it did and we know that you can't control life all the time so yeah...I hope you all understand that and I'm really sorry…
On bright side, you get some updates, even if it's a small bunch.
STORY COUNTDOWN (Please see my profile)! Just don't read them all in one sitting or day because I'm going into a temporary hiatus in order to focus on my youtube projects and I don't know how long it'll take since I'm planning to make roughly fifty to hundred videos first to cover a year and few months in advance (Planning to update weekly).
At same time, I kinda got recruited by a friend for his game project. Just brainstorming and nothing else. He know that I'm always imaginative and make up a lot of things for stories (Beside fanfiction, he don't know about them). He offers to teach me few lessons with game developing and I can't say no to free stuff. So…With setting Youtube channel up and working with his project, it'll be gonna be a while…Or long wait, depending on progress.
But don't worry, I'll write a bit in free time during the hiatus.
Special Announcement: From now on, please check my profile frequently for status or any change.
Some questions won't be answered to avoid the spoilers and if I miss some questions, sorry!
Most characters might be OOC and there might be some grammar errors but I'm trying my best.
Enjoy the third chapter of SDR.

Chapter 3: Blind Date
The day of his blind date has arrived and Ralph would be lying if he said he wasn't nervous about it. The giant baddie pace back and forth outside his home and he kept fixing his clothes or combing his hair, only to mess it up again then repeat it once in a while. "Damn Calhoun, why can't she tell me anything about her?!" Ralph dragged his hand down his face with a groan, he has no clue about his mysterious date and he wants to throttle whoever invented blind date. "Ugh, I am so gonna wreck it badly."
"Hiya, Ralph." The said baddie's head turn to Felix with his wife, "You nervous?"
"Gee, not even a bit." Ralph replied sarcastically.
"Oh, that's good." Felix nodded goodheartedly and both his friend and wife roll their eyes at his naivety.
"Here, information for your date." Calhoun handed Ralph a piece of paper, "You have about one hour before your date so I should left right now if I were you."
"You're not gonna tell me who I'm meeting?" The giant baddie read his paper with a tiny frown, all the information he get are a name of restaurant game, reservation and some directions to this place. No mention of his blind date. "How do I find this person?!"
"No, that's whole point of blind date." Calhoun replied, "She'll join you in a bit if you get there in time." She shoo him away with her hand, "Now shoo."
"Stupid blind date…" Ralph stomped toward to the train station with a quiet grumble, "Just gimme a name, dammit."
"Good luck, Ralph!" Felix called out to his friend and the giant just wave his hand lazily without looking back before the handyman turn to his wife. "I really hope it go well for him. I'll hate to see him come back heartbroken."
"Eh, if this date blows up on him then I'll get another one." Calhoun brushed it off with a shrug and her husband gives her an odd look.
"Okay, Sonic's second game is right here so I should turn at second left from here…" Ralph muttered to himself as he read the direction, grateful for Calhoun's direction because he never have went to these places before and the plaza can be an maze sometime if you're not familiar with any areas. He follows the directions, glancing between his surrounding and paper for a while.
"Ralph?" The giant baddie's ears perked up at mention of his name and his head turn right to see Sorceress.
"Oh, hi, Sorceress." Ralph greeted her, "Going somewhere?"
"Yeah, Bad-Anon." Sorceress said before she notices his confusion, "You know we have a meeting every Monday and Friday, right?"
"Ah, right, right." The giant baddie nearly smack his forehead, "I forget about that."
"Really, that's not like you." The blue sorceress crossed her arms with a raised eyebrow, "I mean, you never miss a meeting since day one."
"Sorry, it kinda slip my mind." Ralph scratched his hair sheepishly, "I have a blind date today so I got a lot of things on my mind about it."
"…A-A-A blind date?" Sorceress put her arms down with widened eyes, "Y-You?"
"Yeah, I got set up with someone and I'm kinda nervous." The giant chuckled lightly, "I'll be way more nervous if it wasn't for a mock date the other day. I really learn a lot."
"M-Mock date?!" The sorceress's right eye twitched slightly, "With who?"
"Lara, she's from console plaza." Ralph smiled, "She was really nice and helpful." He takes a glance at clock to check the time, "Oh, I better get going. I don't want to be late or Calhoun will never let me hear the end of it." He gave her a small wave as he resumes walking, "Bye, tell guys I won't make it today."
"O-Okay…" Sorceress slowly wave back before she turn around and float away with her eye still twitching and a strained smile.
After he find the virtual restaurant and asked a waiter for a reservation, the virtual waiter lead Ralph to a table before the waiter hand him a menu then left him to his business. Ralph place his hands on table, drumming his fingertip very lightly as he examine the restaurant's interior out of nervousness and he glance at some virtual people who were chatting or eating their foods at their tables. His gaze shift back to menus on table and he place one in front of empty table before he clasp his hands together, his eyes once again glancing around at the interior's design. The giant make sure to take few deep breath to calm his rapid-beating heart down, it's really different feeling when you're waiting for someone on a first date and he don't know what to think…But thankful, he was saved by a new voice.
"Hi." Ralph looked up to see a well-known face as she take her seat in front of him, "My name's Chun-Li but you possibly already know that by now." Chun-Li smiled, "Calhoun told me few things about you."
"O-Oh, hi, yeah…" Ralph stammered with his tongue tied before he clear his throat, "E-Eh, my name's Wreck-It Ralph but everyone call me Ralph. Um, what did she tell you about me and how did you know Calhoun?"
"Not much, just few good things." The Chinese fighter hummed lightly with shrugged shoulders, "And we went out on girls' nights together. A mutual friend invites her to join us since she's new to the whole 'virtual life'. You?"
"Met her in her game." Ralph laughed nervously, "Well, I crashed into her game world for a medal but you already know about the incident, right?"
"Yes, I did." Chun-Li nodded with a airy giggle before she take a glance at their menus, "Oh, we should take our order now."
"Y-Y-Yeah, let's!" The giant picked his menu up with her and they look over the list before they make some small talks until the waiter come over to take their order.
Clyde stare oddly at Sorceress with his fellow baddies, the said villainess have been grumble under her breath since the meeting has started and the baddies trade glance between each other unsurely. "…Sorceress, would you like to go first?" Clyde spoke up and she lifts her head up with a scowl.
"No." She grumbled.
"Okay then…" The orange ghost glanced around, "Anyone?"
"Whose idea was it to set Ralph up on a blind date?" Sorceress threw her hands up with a shout as almost everyone jumped up in air, "When I get my hands on whoever did it, I'm gonna use a rusty spoon and scoop their eyes out!"
"…Pardon?" Zangief looked at her with a slow blink, "Blind date? Huh…" He stroked his beard, "Funny, Chun-Li mentioned about going out on a blind date today…"
"You're right, she did say that before we left." Bison glanced at Russian fighter, "If that's the case then she must be with Ralph right now on a da…" A purple ball flew past their heads and it hit the wall with an explosive before the two fighters slowly rotating their heads around to ticked-off sorceress with twitching eyebrow as she stand over them with raised hand, coating in glowering purple magic.
"So it was you two who set it up with Ralph?" She gritted her teeth, "Without asking me first?"
"No." Both fighters quickly raised their hands up with shaking heads.
"Lying to cover your asses?" Sorceress gave them a strained smile, "I'm gonna ki…"
"By any chance, do you happen to have a thing for Ralph?" Bowser asked her normally as if the sorceress didn't attempt to blow their fellow baddies up and they watch on as she froze up, her face slowly become red.
"…W-W-What if I do?" She mumbled out embarrassingly.
"How long?" Saitine asked curiously, not expecting that she have a crush on their fellow baddies.
"Oh, since the first day she joins us around twenty years ago." Neff clapped his hands together then swat his right hand down, "It was, like, so adorable!" He cups his cheeks, "She asked me a lot about him. Do you, like, know who this hottie is? Did you see him? Is he single? Where does he usually hang out at? Oh, I can't ask him out yet. What if he do…" He slowly trail off as he notice Sorceress' stern expression with dirty look before he fold his hands on his lap, "Shutting up…Sorry, girl."
"…This long?" Dr. Robotnik's eyebrow arched, "Why don't you say anything to him?"
"E-Easy said than done." Sorceress sat down, burying her face in her hands with a groan. "How can you ask someone out just like that?!"
"Oh, that's easy." Bowser waved his hand, "Just be casual. All you have to do is go up to him and plant a big wet smooch then he's all yours!" Several baddies deadpanned at him.
"Um, what do you like about him?" Cycloptopus asked and everyone turned back to her, waiting for her answer.
"…H-H-His hands." Sorceress flustered behind her hands, "I-I-I like how big they are…Can you imagine yourself being hold by them? A-And…" She started to ramble on while the baddies just sat there with blank expression.
'…His hands?' Almost everyone thought, their gazes find the floor to be interesting. No one knows that she have a hand fetish by the sound of her voice.
'How did we go from Bad-anon to that?' Clyde thought before he clear his throat loudly to attempt to bring them back to their meeting for now.
Ralph and Chun-Li exited the restaurant arcade before she look up to him with a smile, "I had great time. Sorry if it doesn't work out between us."
"Oh, that's alright." Ralph waved his hand with a tiny smile, "I also have good time and I get to make a new friend today." They have spend some time chatting with each other before they realize that there was no chemistry between them near the end of their date and they agreed to be friends.
"Well, I'll be going now." Chun-Li checked the time before she give him another smile with a small wave, "See you later and if you ever see my game, feel free to drop in and say hi."
"Back at you." The smiling giant waved back before they separate up and he walk back to the direction of his arcade… "Wait, do I turn right or left?" Ralph glanced between a split path, once again remembered how unfamiliar he is with this area and it took him a few hours to find his way back home.
And that end the third chapter of SDR! Love it? Hate it?
