Vanellpe soon made it into the palace first, and the others came with her. They came across a golden statue and there was a redheaded girl who seemed to have wings.
"Stop, you villain!" The girl smirked as she held out a scepter which looked like a lollipop. "I, Princess Lolly, am the greatest acrobat in Candy Land!"
"Is that lollipop scepter important?" Mo asked Vanellope.
"Mm-hmm..." Vanellope nodded. "Not just to Princess Lolly, but all of Candy Land. If Lord Licorice had it, he could turn all of Candy Land into a dark and dreary place."
"Cool." Cherry replied.
"No, that's bad." Rancis said.
"Oh..." Cherry replied. "My bad."
"Who are you?" Princess Lolly asked.
"Princess Lolly, we mean you no harm," Vanellope said. "I am Princess Vanellope von Schweetz of Sugar Rush."
"Yeah, and we were invited to this celebration." Rancis said.
"Oh, I see," Princess Lolly smiled. "Well, welcome to my home. I am the princess of Candy Land... Well, one of them anyway... I'm the younger one. My sister Frostine is supposed to rule the kingdom after our father steps down from the throne. I'm not sure what that means for me though."
"That means you would be next in line for the throne after her." Mo said.
"I guess..." Princess Lolly pouted as she seemed not too excited since she was just the younger sister of Frostine.
"Lolly, are you being careful with your scepter?" An older voice asked as he was on his way inside.
"That must be your father." Mo said to Princess Lolly.
"It is." Princess Lolly nodded.
"Lolly, how many times have I told you to be careful with your scepter?" King Kandy reminded.
"86 times, Daddy." Princess Lolly smiled innocently.
"Whoa." Cherry said.
Princess Lolly then ran up to her father and kissed his cheek.
"Hello, there, and welcome," King Kandy smiled to the Sugar Rush racers. "You must be the people of Sugar Rush."
"We sure are," Vanellope said as she walked over. "I am President/Princess Vanellope."
"Ah, yes, it's nice to-" King Kandy said before looking to Vanellope as she looked somewhat familiar. "...Meet you, Princess."
"Uh, why is he looking at me like that?" Vanellope asked Mo.
Mo shrugged.
"I've heard of you..." King Kandy said to Vanellope. "Welcome to Candy Land."
"Um, thank you, King Kandy." Vanellope replied.
"And we're honored to have been invited to this celebration." Cherry said.
"I don't believe you're from Sugar Rush." King Kandy said to her, Atticus, and Mo.
"I'm Cherry, and this is Atticus and Mo," Cherry replied. "We come from far away, and we are honored guests of Vanellope."
"Yup!" Vanellope added.
"And your youngest daughter is running off with the lollipop." Mo said once she saw the king's youngest daughter running off to have some more fun.
"What?!" King Kandy gasped. "Lolly, stop right there!"
Princess Lolly suddenly stopped and looked over.
"Oh, Lolly, come here, please," King Kandy smiled, putting his arm around the girl. "I want to talk to you."
"That usually comes with something important." Mo said.
"It is..." King Kandy nodded. "Today, a brand new sweet flavor will bloom in Candy Land, right after the Sweet Circle Ceremony."
They soon saw workers working in another room around the Sweet Circle.
"And you, my daughter, you are going to have a very special job to do." King Kandy said as he took Princess Lolly's hand.
"Does it have something to do with the lollipop?" Mo asked him.
"No, it means I've decided Princess Lolly should stand in the Sweet Circle." King Kandy smiled.
"Me?" Princess Lolly piped up.
"Wow." The racers smiled.
"That sounds like a great honor." Strawberry added.
"You want me to-" Princess Lolly continued until she glanced at her father. "Dad, are you feeling okay?"
"Oh, delicious treats will be brought from every corner of Candy Land which goes in these gold cups," King Kandy smiled. "When every offering is in place when the last gumball has dropped, it-... Lolly, are you listening?"
"What? Oh, the last gumball, yes." Princess Lolly smiled.
"You see something sweet coming, don't you?" Mo asked Princess Lolly.
"Mm-hmm." Princess Lolly smiled bashfully.
They soon looked over as a worker came by with a cake that seemed to have a windmill on it.
"Of course." Mo smiled.
"And just at the right moment, a very magic thing will happen," King Kandy continued. "Lolly will set her scepter into the sweet center..."
Princess Lolly soon flew towards the cake.
"Oh, boy..." Mo sighed.
Crumbelina seemed to lick her lips with a smile once she saw the cake.
"Mm... Cake!" Candle Head beamed.
"Must have cake." Rancis smiled.
"Guys?!" Cherry warned.
Princess Lolly soon flew towards the cake and took a deep breath before blowing on the windmill on top of the cake which caused it to start spinning.
"Wow, it actually works." Cherry commented about the windmill.
Princess Lolly smiled as she flew back a little, but the baker seemed to trip over something, or rather, someone that fell on the floor with the cake in his arms.
"Cake! Incoming!" Mo called out.
Atticus soon rushed over to help and stop the cake, but he seemed to be too late, which was not common for him as the cake splashed onto the king.
"Daddy!" Princess Lolly cried out, but she couldn't help but giggle once she found him. "I just wanted to see if the windmills turned. They do!"
"I'm so sorry." King Kandy told his royal baker.
"We should have kept a closer eye on her." Mo said.
"Great... Babysitting a princess..." Cherry commented. "That sounds like a mission we'd be forced to accept."
"It might be an adventure." Mo said.
"Oh, boy... My favorite past time..." Cherry muttered.
Princess Lolly frowned as she felt bad about what just happened to her father.
"Sweetheart, I like fun as much as the next king, but today is a special day for Candy Land," King Kandy reminded her. "So, please, you only have to do two things: be here at the Sweet Circle in six gumballs." he then began to tell her until they heard something.
"What was that?" Mo asked.
They soon looked over and they all found what looked like a gumball machine that was working like a clock, and the gumball soon rolled down a slide, hitting a ball which tolled on the way down.
"Gumball machines are used like clocks in Candy Land." Vanellope told Atticus, Cherry, and Mo.
"Ohh." Mo smiled.
"Erm... Make that five gumballs... And remember your scepter," King Kandy soon told Princess Lolly. "Now, I know you can do that, Lolly, can't you?"
Princess Lolly nodded to her father with a small pout.
"And just try to stay out of trouble until then." King Kandy then said.
"Yes, Daddy." Princess Lolly replied.
"And we'll make sure she does sir." Mo said.
"I entrust you all to become Princess Lolly's guardians for the day." King Kandy told Atticus, Cherry, and Mo.
"I guess." Cherry shrugged.
"We'll make sure nothing happens to her or to the lollipop scepter." Atticus told King Kandy.
"I really appreciate it." King Kandy replied.
"She's pretty, isn't she?" Gloyd asked about Princess Lolly.
Rancis and Swizzle looked to him.
"Well, you guys have Vanellope and Minty, why can't I have a girlfriend?" Gloyd replied.
"V-V-Vanellope's not my girlfriend." Rancis blushed.
"Not yet." Gloyd smirked.
"I-I-I..." Rancis stammered to that.
"Come on, man, you gotta tell her how ya feel." Swizzle encouraged.
"Yeah." Glyod said.
Rancis bit his lip a bit nervously.
"I hope Patch is okay wherever he ended up." Mo said to Atticus.
"Yeah, and Custard and Pupcake." Strawberry added about her own pets.
