-==Chapter 8==-

New School and Diet Cola Race

Arthur entered his new school, and it has very pleasant students. He entered his classroom and introduces himself to the students, and the homeroom teacher, Ms. Maria. He took his seat next to 2 boys named Norton and Jackson, the latter being Heather's younger brother.

Jackson: "You must be Arthur Johnson, right?"

Arthur: "Yes I am. You must have heard me from BuzzzTube?"

Jackson: "Exactly. Look, don't blame yourself over my sister's death. If it weren't for her, you would have died in her place."

Norton: "Yeah, and try to forget those bullies. They are just low life scums who should probably get themselves lost in a forbidden amusement park where they'll be turned into donkeys for all I care."

Arthur: "Norton, did you just referenced Pinocchio?"

Norton: "I had to. Everyone in town is starting to hear your story."

Arthur: "They do?"

Jackson: "Yeah… Heather's Funeral will be held tomorrow… an Autopsy was held on that day she died…."

Norton: "And I'm coming too. Heather did a lot for me… If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't have met one of the most awesome Slaughter Race players out there."

Arthur: "Slaughter Race?"

Norton: "It's an Online M.M.O. Racing game developed by TobiKomi's rival company, Freedom Games, which is an American Gaming company as expected. You're the good guy, while the Bad Guys are Shank and her crew."

Jackson: "Do you play Slaughter Race?"

Arthur: "No, I play Sugar Rush…"

Norton: "What, Really? That Candy themed Go-Karting game? Are you serious?"

Arthur: "Yeah. You got a problem with that?"

Jackson: "No, not really. Just… we never played Sugar Rush before…."

Norton: "And mind you, some of these kids are discouraging others…"

Jackson: "We just want to keep our reputation."

Arthur: "Well, some people are just Sour Balls…."

Ms. Maria: "Okay, Class, it's time to begin with Mathematics."

Jackson: "Oh, Ms. Maria is a good Math teacher, she knows how to help us have fun with the subject, and I know you'll love her."

Later, at Recess, Arthur is having a good conversation with Jackson and Norton about each of their daily lives. Jackson and Norton felt sorry for what Arthur had to go through in his childhood, but Arthur reassured them that Heather was the reason he was able to keep going, and with her Dead, he made the right decision to move to a new school, as Heather's Absence means that the old school bullies will get to torment him more. Later, at 01.00 P.M., after School ends, Arthur takes Jackson and Norton to Litwak's Arcade.

Arthur: "Say, have you two ever went to an Amusement Arcade? You know, where we play Arcade games?"

Jackson: "Well, a couple of times but I only play Console games."

Norton: "I've never gone to an Arcade. Why do you ask?"

Arthur: "Well, you'll be amazed with the place I want to take you guys to."

Arthur, Jackson and Norton walked to a Light Rail train station next to their school. The Light rail line is a Quadruple lane, the outer tracks representing Local trains stopping at all stations, while the inner tracks represent the Rapid trains which stop at certain stations. The Rapid trains have a Stop at Litwak's in all directions, three stations away from the School, which both Rapid and Local trains make their stops at. By taking the Rapid train, the three boys skipped three stations after departing and before arriving at Litwak's. Upon their arrival, Jackson and Norton are amazed at the establishment, a Three Story Mini-Mall like building with a Racing rollercoaster decorating the exterior.

Arthur: "Here we are, Litwak's Family Fun Center and Arcade."

Jackson and Norton: "Whohw…."

Arthur: "Come on, let's go inside!"

The boys walked inside through the Big Entrance Arch. Jackson and Norton were amazed when they look at the surroundings, filled with Arcade game cabinets, Old and New; the racing rollercoaster which was both Indoors and Outdoors, and even Ferris wheels, Bumper Cars, and other Mini amusement park rides. There is even a café at the Second Floor.

Jackson: "This place is amazing…."

Norton: "So, Jackson, which game do you want to play first?"

Arthur: "You two have fun, okay."

Jackson: "How about, Hero's Duty?"

Norton: "Wait, they have a Hero's Duty ARCADE version?"

Jackson: "Hell yeah, come on, let's go for it!"

Jackson and Norton ran off to Hero's Duty, and they were amazed by the game's Intro screen, showing off the 4 playable heroes: Tamora herself being player one, Kohut for two, Markowski for three, and a Rookie soldier for four. Hero's Duty costs One dollar PER player upon start, and to continue, only a quarter is required. Meanwhile, Arthur walked off to Sugar Rush, and the intro music, the Sugar Rush theme by AKB48 is something catchy even for him. Then, he saw four kids younger than him rush off to the seats. To his surprise, when they inserted their quarters and confirm that they don't have Tobi-Save cards, on the character select screen, neither chose Vanellope, and they picked the other racers.

Citrusella: "(Does a Twirling jump and pumps her left fist forward)"

Adorabeezle: "(Makes a Roundhouse Kick and points her right hand's forefinger up)"

M. Zaki: "(Does a Jump-Flip and crosses her arms with a determined smirk)"

Swizzle: "(Does a Single-Jump-Triple-Flip and raises both arms up) HA HAAA!"

Arthur then saw the kids fastening their seatbelt, which allows the Motion Simulator to take effect should the mode be activated. However, he also discovered that the game also has 3D Camera sensor, to which if you're not wearing the 3D-Power Goggles, the camera will stick to 2D, and no, personal 3D-Glasses won't do. The kids also chose "Play together" because they want to compete. Arthur just laughs, and he takes the backseat to watch the race, and he'll take a seat once the kids are done.

Meanwhile, inside the game, Vanellope and Crumbelina are at the castle's Friendship Lounge, having a conversation.

Crumbelina: "Hey, uh… Van… May I talk with you?"

Vanellope: "Sure thing, Crumby, what is it…"

Crumbelina: "I miss Heather… She started playing as me back in 2015, and the last time we saw her in 2016 was her last race playing as me. I know that she's dead, but, I can't help it but miss her."

Vanellope: "Are you sure? Because everyone else barring us racers freaked out when her name was mentioned."

Crumbelina: "Of course I miss her. She helped me gain my confidence"

Vanellope: "I miss Heather too… When Molly first discovered that I was different from those other Vanellopes, she knew what to do, and Heather just helped made Sugar Rush even more popular, well, in General, not just this specific arcade's."

Crumbelina: "I know how you feel, Vanny… *Sigh* If only she was allowed to live…. Just a bit longer…."

Vanellope: "The real world out there is cruel… While we can just regenerate so long as you die in a place where you are properly coded, i.e. Native game… the Real World has no such privilege. But enough about that, so, who's running for president?"

Crumbelina: "Oh, that? I've heard that many sources claim that Adorabeezle, Sakura, Swizzle and Candlehead are running for president. You in on this?"

Vanellope: "You BET I am. It's been quite a while since I ran back in late 2012 to Mid-2013, and that's when I came back to full force, thanks to Ralph…. He's my HERO…."

Crumbelina: "Oh, you still owed him that much? But he only gave us that drawing, it's no big deal."

Vanellope: "No, you don't get it… one small act of kindness can make a Tremendous impact on someone, and Ralph's helped you guys discover my true identity."

Crumbelina: "Oh…."

Vanellope then walks off to the balcony, with Crumbelina next to her, watching as the race goes by. Back at the arcade, Arthur caught the sight of Mike at the Sugar Rush Tobi-Save terminal. He got himself a Tobi-Save card.

Arthur: "Hey, Mike, so, you got yourself a Save-Card?"

Mike: "Sure did."

Arthur: "I'm waiting for these kids to finish their race."

And after a while, the race ended with the kid on Seat 3 being the winner. Because the three others left and only the kid in Seat 3 remains due to the free game, Arthur takes seat 1 and Mike takes seat 2.

Mike: "Arthur, you ready for this?"

Arthur: "I'm goin' for it."

The two inserted their first quarters, tap their Tobi-Save cards and Arthur confirms Vanellope, because she is still his only racer in his Save-Data.

Vanellope: "Oh? (Jumps in Excitement) Ha-HAAA!"

Announcer: "Chews Your Racer! (For seat 2)"

Meanwhile, Mike just got started in his Save Data. On the character select screen, the 9 racers are: Vanellope (Crossed due to Arthur), Candlehead, Citrusella, Swizzle, Adorabeezle (Crossed due to the kid at seat #3), M. Zaki, Taffyta, Rancis and Jubileena. Mike's first racer was Swizzle, and so the daredevil is his choice.

Announcer: "Is this your choice?"

Mike: "(Confirms his racer by stepping on the gas pedal.)

Swizzle: "(Does a Single-Jump-Triple-Flip and raises both arms up) HA HAAA!"

Meanwhile, inside the game…

Vanellope: "I gotta dash! Arthur's here!"

Crumbelina: "And if I recall, a kid named Mike is here too, remember him?"

Vanellope: "The one who chose Swizzle and raced us on Chocolate Coast? He managed to finish 4th."

Crumbelina: "Well, he did say he learnt from Mario Kart. Sugar Rush worked similarly to Mario Kart, only that our karts can actually reach up to more than 130 Miles Per Hour, which is basically more than 215 Kilometers per hour."

Vanellope: "I never knew you were smart."

Crumbelina: "Thank Gloyd for that, he's been teaching me Science-Mathematics for several months."

Vanellope: "Whoah… our local prankster is a Mathematician now?"

Crumbelina: "That's why I fell for his affection."

Vanellope: "And he sure does love your musical talents. Well, gotta get going!"

Vanellope dashes out of the castle, boards the Fresh Mint Cruiser (Yes, that's what the developers named Vanellope's Candy Kart as), and drives off to Sugar Town. Back in the arcade, Arthur and Mike make their setups, they put the 3D-Power Goggles on, set the camera to 3D-Max, fastened their Seatbelts, and turned on Motion Simulator. They also chose "Play together", resulting in challenging the kid at seat 3.

Announcer:" Chews the Track!"

Arthur: "Okay, Mike, which track would you like to race in?"

Mike: "What about, Diet Cola Mountain?"

Arthur: "You mean, that Quote-on-Quote "BoNuS tRaCk" as seen in that Wreck-It Ralph movie?"

Mike: "Yeah, but this game has it as Track number Five."

?: "Diet Cola Mountain, you say? I've been playing at that track since Sugar Rush Super Speedway showed up and seeing the track as featured in that 2012 Wreck-It Ralph movie, I knew people want to race on it so badly that Walt Disney and TobiKomi outright responded, which is how we got Sugar Rush Super Speedway in the first place."

Mike: "Huh, looks like this is a coincidence."

?: "So, you two ready?"

Arthur: "I sure am ready. Diet Cola Mountain it is!"

Mike: "That's settled then!"

The three kids chose Diet Cola Mountain as their track. Meanwhile, Molly came, and she took seat 4. She inserted her quarter, tapped her Tobi-Save Card, and chose Crumbelina.

Crumbelina: "(Twirls, bows, and pumps her right fist up, smiling)"

Molly then wears the 3D-Power goggles, fastens her seatbelt, sets the camera view to 3D-Max, and activates Motion Simulator.

Molly: "Hey, Arthur, and Mike?"

Mike: "Moppet Mantis? You're in on this too?"

Molly: "Of course (Chose "Play together)"

Announcer: "A NEW CHALLENGER!"

?: "Looks like this is gonna be crazy!"

Announcer: "Chews the Track!"

Arthur: "Molly, pick Diet Cola Mountain! We're going to race there."

Molly: "Okay then."

Crumbelina: "That's my Cue! I gotta get going. (Boards the Tira-Missile and accelerates off to go after Vanellope) VANELLOPE, WAIT FOR ME!"

?: "Pick Casual mode, I'm only good with Power-Ups!"

Arthur and Molly: "Same here."

Arthur: "But, Molly wouldn't you rather…."

Molly: "Nah, I prefer using Power-Ups and Character skills. Sugar Rush's main gimmick is to be a Sweet mouthwatering Adrenaline. Simulation Mode is if you're a Realistic-Driving maniac like Isaac and Rebecca."

Mike: "Oh, I know those two, and don't forget the notorious Violet Slayer."

Molly: "Elvin? You know him?"

Mike: "Molly, you do realize that he's on the Hall of Fame, right?"

Molly: "Oh, I forgot."

Arthur, Molly, Mike and the kid chose Casual mode for the race. While the loading screen is in place, Norton and Jackson have just finished playing Hero's Duty. They took up 4 continues, meaning they had to each use up 8 quarters in that game. As the two attempt to walk to an escalator to Floor 2, which the Restaurant, café, more Arcade cabinets, and the Racing Roller Coaster station where a bunch of kids and teens are in line for the trains; they came across Sugar Rush, where Arthur and the three other kids are waiting for the race in Diet Cola Mountain to start. Jackson was a little intrigued to Sugar Rush, while Norton was still skeptical.

Jackson: "Uh, Norton, maybe we should…"

Norton: "No, Jackson, that won't do. Slaughter Race is our thing."

Jackson: "Look, I know that but…. My sister played Sugar Rush."

Norton: "Oh… it seems like you owed her that much? But… what if many found out?"

Jackson: "I'm sure they won't mind… to be fair… Slaughter Race was made because Freedom Games wanted to compete against TobiKomi and the name "Slaughter Race" came from Sugar Rush."

Norton: "You may have a point but…"

Jackson: "I mean, look at those other kids, they're making a crowd, and look! There are those who record videos right now."

The race is about to begin. The starting/Finish line's Straight is on the South of the mountain heading northeast.

Vanellope: "Man, I forgot that when TobiKomi upgraded our game from the original 1997 version to this 2017 version, they finished Diet Cola Mountain. Oh, hi Crumby."

Crumbelina: "Well, I must say you're not sharp at remembering stuff, Van…"

Swizzle: "So, this is it, huh?"

Adorabeezle: "What do you mean, this is it?"

Swizzle: "We're racing at Vanellope's old hideout for the first time, that's what I'm talking about."

Vanellope: "Swizz, something wrong with that?"

Swizzle: "With all due respect, V, none of the gamers ever tried to race on this track, probably because of that FiCtiOnaL movie about Wreck-It Ralph and us which convinced gamers to not race at your old hideout just because it's a Bonus Level then."

Crumbelina: "Well, um, Swizz, you do realize that Diet Cola Mountain is refurbished and the location now is no longer secret, but instead as Regular Track number 5, right?"

Adorabeezle: "Well, that does sound kind of convenient. But enough about that, Let's get this race started!"

Snowanna: "Yup, and May the BEST candidate win!"

Candlehead: "Good luck with that! But watch your butts, because I won't go that easily."

Vanellope, Crumbelina, Swizzle, Adorabeezle, Candlehead, Snowanna, Jubileena, Citrusella, Torvald and Rancis are about to race, and the countdown is about to begin.

Announcer: "Are you ready? 5! 4! 3! 2! 1! START!"

And the race is off. Diet Cola Mountain runs on Three Laps. Arthur LAUNCHES Vanellope into First place (By hitting the gas Halfway of 2-1) followed by the kid driving Adorabeezle, also Launched by the same method. On the main straight to the first Left curve, Vanellope and Adorabeezle are Neck-and-Neck! Molly and Crumbelina are in 7th place while Mike and Swizzle are in 4th place between Rancis and Citrusella. On the course of Exiting the first left curve into a Right curve heading towards a small bridge and a fork, the kid and Adorabeezle picked up a Power-Up: a Cherry Bomb, while Arthur and Vanellope picked up Sprinkle-Spikes. In an agreement, Arthur, Vanellope, the kid and Adorabeezle deploy their Power-Ups. Mike and Swizzle, now in 3rd, can see the Cherry Bomb and Sprinkle-Spikes ahead of them so they steer to the left side because of the fewer sprinkle spikes. Even though they hit a few spikes, they can still manage BECAUSE of the fewer spikes. But the Cherry bomb then EXPLODES as Candlehead, Citrusella, Rancis and Snowanna drive towards it.

Candlehead, Citrusella, Snowanna and Rancis: "AAAAAAGHH!"

Crumbelina: "Well well well, you gotta hurry before it blows up. (Passes the four racers)"

Jubileena: "Oh, come on, Crumbs, one cherry bomb is nothing compared to a simultaneous ten."

Torvald: "And don't forget Giant Sprinkle-Spikes."

Citrusella: "(Resets) You're not getting away!"

Snowanna: "(Also resets) This is just getting started!"

After the right curve, came the straight to a Y-Fork. One leads to the normal track which consists of a Slalom-Turnaround-Slalom, while the other leads to a Shortcut being the Interior. The fork to the shortcut itself is VERY narrow, and only one kart can fit the entrance.

Arthur: "I'm going for that cut!"

As Arthur and the kid approach the fork, Mike and Swizzle are approaching behind them, followed by Molly and Crumbelina in 4th place. Arthur and the kid try to shove each other out of the entrance, and Arthur manages to knock the kid off, but as he entered the shortcut, the kid also entered the shortcut by a certain recovery skill. With that in mind, Vanellope and Adorabeezle approach the Crossed-Lollipops entrance. Meanwhile, Mike and Swizzle met up with Molly and Crumbelina. The crowd started cheering like wild animals, and this got Jackson and Norton intrigued with the Sweet Mouthwatering Adrenaline of Sugar Rush, a sensation that could NEVER be found EVEN in Slaughter Race. Because Mike is busy with Molly, he doesn't realize that he missed the Fork to the shortcut INSIDE the mountain.

Jackson: "What's this feeling?"

Norton: "Jackson, snap out of it, dude."

Jackson: "No, Norton, can you feel it?"

Norton: "Jackson, you're having me on."

Jackson: "No, I'm…. serious…."

Norton: "Argh, sometimes you're unbelie…"

Norton then looks at the game, and like Jackson, he became curious as he saw Arthur and the random kid's racers, Vanellope and Adorabeezle, entering the mountain. The interior of the mountain's track which Vanellope and Adorabeezle drive on consists of a short straight to a Sharp left curve, followed by a Right Ascending Helix to the iconic Wafer Bridge that leads to a Launch Tunnel. Said launch tunnel has Power-Up boxes which Vanellope and Adorabeezle obtained. The tunnel also propels Vanellope and Adorabeezle out of the mountain and back to the main track, and the just so happen to be far ahead of Mike, Swizzle, Molly and Crumbelina, as well as the other 6 racers. Just then, Crumbelina's Superpower Bar is full, and with that, Molly can use the Linearity Missile to catch up to Vanellope and Adorabeezle. Vanellope's power up is a Sticky oil sludge, which Arthur deploys. Adorabeezle got a Sugar Boost cube, and the kid uses it to leave Vanellope in 2nd place.

Molly: "(Sees the Sticky Oil in front of her) Looks like I'll close the gap! (Presses the Skill Button)"

Crumbelina: "(Tira-Missile summons the Linearity Missile underneath it, and Crumbelina accelerates as the missile activates) HEY! GUESS WHO'S BEHIND YOU!"

Crumbelina speeds away from the pack. And without warning, Crumbelina's Linearity Missile ATTACKED both Vanellope and Adorabeezle by a mighty BIFF! Meanwhile, Mike also got his Superpower bar fully charged, and he activates Swizzle's skill, Sugar Arrow, and with the Skill in effect, Swizzle manages to overcome the sticky oil, leaving the other 6 racers behind to get stuck on it.

Vanellope: "AAAAAGH!"

Adorabeezle: "OUCH!"

Crumbelina: "Better not let your cookie Crumble…"

Vanellope: "(Resets) Oh, you can sometimes be a Pushover!"

Arthur: "Might as well keep the heat on!"

Adorabeezle: "(Resets) Crumbelina, you're not going to win that easily!"

Arthur and the kid soon chase after Molly after their reset. The track continues to a Left S-Hairpin and then a medium left turn back to the main straight. At this point, Mike and Swizzle caught up to Arthur, Vanellope, the random kid and Adorabeezle, just as his Sugar Arrow wears off. The four leading racers advance to Lap 2 of 3. The crowd grows as more kids witness the race. Jackson and Norton walked off to the Quarter change machine to get more quarters and they walked off to play other games. Meanwhile, Stan Litwak sat in his office, receiving a telephone call from TobiKomi.

Stan Litwak: "Hello, Mr. Hiramoto, what is it? Sugar Rush Super Speedway? Is there anything to talk about it? What's that you say? A new update? Sextuplet cabinet setups? You mean that the game will be capable of housing 6 players in VS-Player races? Alright then, when will the update take place? Tomorrow? That'd be great. Alright, I'll see your crew tomorrow."

Stan then continued his work. Back in the game, The race was already about to reach Lap 3, every Power-Up thorwn at one another. But if you look closely, Arthur still holds back from using his racer's Skill. Most Vanellope players would immediately activate her Sugar Nitro once they're fully charged. Exiting the medium left turn to the Starting/Finish Line, the random kid and Adorabeezle are now Neck-and-Neck against Molly and Crumbelina, but they then got overtook by the other racers.

Rancis: "Outta my way!"

Snowanna: "Oh, no you don't! I'll take the lead!"

Citrusella: "Hey, Not if I can't help it!"

Candlehead: "You wanna play hard?! Okay then, (Activates her skill) CANDLE-LIGHTERS!"

Candlehead's Candle Lighters attacked Rancis, Snowanna and Citrusella because they are near her, and they were spun out of control. Candlehead is now in the lead. And as Crumbelina and Adorabeezle cross the line to the last lap, the kid presses his seat's Skill button, as Adorabeezle's superpower bar was fully charged. Adorabeezle's Ice Rocket summons the "Freeze-Force-Field" which freezes Crumbelina, Rancis, Citrusella and Snowanna. Because Adorabeezle's skill freezes those who got near the force-field, Arthur, Vanellope, Mike and Swizzle are forced to hold back until the Skill wears off. Meanwhile, Jackson and Norton walked by again, and they noticed that the commotion was even BIGGER.

Swizzle: "Whoa! Adorabeezle has grown, alright! I say she's going to give her sister Nougetsia a RUN for her money!"

Vanellope: "Well, the latter did manage to outdo Adorabeezle most of the time, so it's fair enough for Adorabeezle to try Outdo her sister by showing us what she's worth!"

Swizzle: "But still, this win is MINE!"

Mike: "Watch your exhaust pipes, kid, because I'm going after you!"

?: "I'd like to see you try!"

Arthur: "This is the Last lap of the race!"

The other racers also chase the leaders. Molly and Crumbelina managed to get to 4th place. They all drive across the long right curve to the straight that leads to the Y-Fork.

Molly: "Outta my way or I'll smash into you!"

Crumbelina: "(Drafts behind Vanellope)"

The kid and Adorabeezle took the shortcut again, and when Arthur and Vanellope attempt to do so, Mike and Swizzle grind against Arthur and Vanellope. But Arthur and Vanellope persevered and with Molly and Crumbelina behind them, Arthur, Vanellope, Molly and Crumbelina made it through the entrance of the shortcut, and Mike and Swizzle were forced out by the track's wall barriers, forcing them to stay on the regular track, now being chased by the other 6 racers. Now, Arthur, Vanellope, Molly, Crumbelina, the kid and Adorabeezle cruise through the Helix of the mountain's interior, and into the Launch Tunnel. Then, theylanded back on to the track, and after the S-Hairpin, they cruise off the medium left curve and into the Starting/Finish Line.

Jackson and Norton were defeated by curiosity and they watched the race with the other kids cheering on at the racers. Back in the racing action, the kid in Seat 3, who's now in 1st place, also with a fully charged superpower bar, desperate to win, activates the Skill again to attempt to freeze Vanellope and Crumbelina. But Arthur and Molly have none of that, and with their Superpower bars also full, they pressed the Skill Buttons again, activating Vanellope's Sugar Nitro and Crumbelina's Linearity Missile!

Vanellope: "(Glows in Light Blue and picking up speed) WHOOOAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!"

Crumbelina: "(Tira-Missile summons the Linearity Missile underneath it, and Crumbelina accelerates!)"

Catching up to the kid and Adorabeezle (And disregarding the Freeze-Force-Field due to their Skills in effect); Arthur, Vanellope, Molly, Crumbelina, the kid and Adorabeezle are Neck-And-Neck! The three racers are reaching high speeds up to 172 MPH; it's so intense that nobody knew who's in the lead as all three are Paralleled Side by Side! And then, as they cross the Finish line, in a sudden turn of events, Crumbelina FINISHES 1st, Vanellope in 2nd, Adorabeezle in 3rd place and Swizzle in 4th place!

Molly: "YES! I WON!"

Crumbelina: "GOTEEM!"

Vanellope: "Whoah… that was something! Good job, Crumby!"

Crumbelina: "You too, Van! Adorabeezle, you did great too!"

Adorabeezle: "You did great too, Crumbs!"

Arthur: "Well, Molly, you sure did time that perfectly, don't you?"

Molly: "You did great too, Arthur. Looks like Vanellope had helped you a lot!"

Arthur: "Huh?"

Molly: "Van sure is a miracle to those who needed to be happy the most. Even though you lost this race, an Adorable Winner is always by your side no matter what. Look at the screen."

Arthur looks at the screen, where he sees Vanellope, Adorabeezle, Swizzle, and the other racers with their awards, waving happily, congratulating him (And Mike and that random kid) for finishing the race. In Sugar Rush, anyone who races is considered a winner. Those who backed out and refuse are treated as losers (But thankfully this does NOT apply to the native game NPCs).

Mike: "Well, I had fun, but I gotta go play other games. See you, Arthur."

?: "And I gotta go home, my brothers are waiting."

Molly: "Okay… wait! What's your name?"

Nancy: "Oh, my name's Nancy Watterson."

Mike left the game, and his data is saved. His only racer was Swizzle because that daredevil was his starting choice. Nancy left with her brothers, and she wished to return to race again.

Molly: "Hey, Arthur, since I won, I got a free game. If you insert your quarter to continue, you're going to have a Rematch with the winner, so you would automatically "Play together" for a second time. How does that sound?"

Arthur: "Alright, I'm in for this! I'm going to kick your butt SO hard than last time!"

Arthur inserts his second quarter, and with that, he challenges Molly to another race. Little do they know is that Jackson and Norton are now dragged in to Sugar Rush and they want to try this new sweet racing game they've never even played before in their life out because Sugar Rush can provide insane Adrenalines on closed tracks that Slaughter Race cannot.

To be continued...

Author's Note: Yeah, so in Sugar Rush, you cannot have Vanellope always winning. At some points in time, there are races where she does lose. And yes, EVEN back when she was the infamous "Glitch". And at one point, Vanellope and Crumbelina talked about Ralph's gift, which confirms HARD that the events of the movie were Fictional. My Wreck-It Ralph AUs take place in an alternate timeline, where all Sugar Rush needed was a small act of kindness, and NOT an accidental Cy-Bug invasion, and that the events of Ralph Breaks the Internet took place in 2015 with a Different outcome (Chapter 3), and the Events of both movies were purely fictional (Wreck-It Ralph REWRITTEN), which means, the racers were never forced into bullying Vanellope, and that Vanellope in the "Real World" never abandoned Sugar Rush permanently, again, Chapter 3 explains how. Now, about this chapter, there are some things i'd like to point out. This story will have Drama in it, but that Drama will NOT involve the characters inside the game, no that ain't it. The Drama will focus on the patrons themselves. I'll be in touch with the next chapter. See you soon.
