"Oh, no..." Strawberry frowned.
"We're too late..." Jubileena said.
"Totally bogus!" Snowanna complained.
"We can't give up just yet." Patch said.
"What can we do though?" Candle Head asked. "Lord Licorice already sent out some licorice ropes for the castle!"
"There has to be something we can do." Mo said.
"Vanellope ate the licorice vines last time." Patch commented.
"Well, I am not eating any of that." Cherry grumbled.
"Would you like Candy Land to become Licorice Land? " Atticus asked her.
"...Well, no..." Cherry admitted. "But you know licorice makes me sick."
"Oh, right..." Atticus said.
"Listen, Geeky, I hate licorice too, but I had to gnaw my way out to get away from Lord Loony, so you can too!" Vanellope replied.
"Ugh..." Cherry groaned as she hated this already.
"How do we stop Lord Licorice?" Patch asked.
"Say, some of us are still chocolatey..." Cherry said. "What if we pretend to be a monster from the Chocolate Swamp and scare Lord Licorice? He looks more like a coward than a cold-hearted villain to me."
"That just might work." Atticus said.
"I hope it does," Cherry replied. "Call me a skeptic, but this villain doesn't look as bad as the other bad guys we've faced over the years."
"Too true." Atticus nodded.
They soon went to try out Cherry's plan as Lord Licorice began to rule over Candy Land.
'Here goes nothing.' Cherry thought to herself.
Lord Licorice looked around before turning around to see a 'chocolate monster'. This scared Lord Licorice and his Bites before they began to run off as the clock was ticking for The Sweet Celebration. Eventually, the chocolate wiped off to reveal Mr. Mint and Jolly.
"HA! Knew it would work." Cherry smirked.
"Uh, Cherry?" Patch called.
Lord Licorice growled once he saw who the monster really was before he smirked. "Nice try, troublesome treats!"
"Oh, you can not be serious!" Cherry glared.
A gumball was soon rolling down which made Princess Lolly and Jib gasp.
"Now, let me hear the sweet sound of that gong!" Lord Licorice smiled evilly to his Licorice Bites.
Atticus soon took out his spell phone and answered it. "Drell, sir, now's not a good time." he then said.
"You don't understand, I've found Vanellope's parents!" Drell replied.
"Then teleport them here now!" Atticus told him. "Maybe they can stop this!"
"Uh, well... I can't exactly teleport them over right now," Drell replied. "You have to come find them."
"Drell, the Sweet Celebration is at stake!" Atticus told him as flew off to try and stop the last gumball.
"But you don't understand, they can't leave the arcade!" Drell replied. "Look, what if I helped you guys since you're in a lot of trouble? I haven't been to Candy Land since Phoebe's last birthday."
"But Candy Land is part of Sugar Rush!" Atticus told him.
"Okay, you're not listening to me, I'm coming over there." Drell said before hanging up.
Atticus soon used his magic to keep the last gumball from landing. Drell soon used his own magic to appear in front of everyone, and he seemed to have a bowling shirt on, though he looked a little grumpy. Even more than usual. He soon saw that Atticus was keeping the final gumball from ending the Sweet Celebration.
"You miserable little cavity!" Lord Licorice glared to Atticus.
"You're not ruining Candy Land as long as I'm around!" Atticus glared back.
"Okay, I'm now understanding why you wanted me to bring them here." Drell said to Atticus.
"Well, why don't you?!" Atticus asked.
"I can't, they're stuck in the arcade!" Drell told them. "You guys are due for another adventure in Litwak's arcade!"
"Which game are they in?" Mo asked.
"You have to come with me, then I'll tell you." Drell told them.
"What's with the bowling shirt?" Cherry asked then.
"Part of the reason why I'm steamed," Drell replied. "It's my bowling night."
"Ohh." The others replied.
"Uh... Well... We're not in trouble, right?" Cherry smiled nervously.
Drell didn't say anything and walked away from her.
"Answer me!" Cherry begged.
"Not for the moment." Drell told her.
"Stop riddling us!" Cherry cried out. "It's annoying and evil when Edward Nygma does it, why do you think it's any better if you do it?!"
"Nice work with the gumball, Atticus," Drell said. "That should be enough time to save The Sweet Celebration... Ugh... This whole place is gonna give me cavities again."
"Hello, Drell." Lord Licorice glared.
"Ah... Lord Licorice..." Drell replied. "Long time no see," He soon saw what Lord Licorice had. "Ah... What a nice lollipop scepter..." he then smirked. "Shall I take it back to its rightful owner?"
"NO!" Lord Licorice glared.
"I think I will." Drell smirked as he used his full strength to take it back.
Lord Licorice tried to hold onto the scepter.
"Whoops!" Drell smirked as he lifted it up which made Lord Licorice fall flat on his face. "Clumsy you."
"Oh, come on!" Lord Licorice complained.
Drell soon returned the scepter to Princess Lolly.
"Wow... Thank you, sir!" Princess Lolly said.
"Consider it my greatest honor." Drell told her, sounding nice for once.
"Shall I release it now?" Atticus asked.
"Hmm... Is it getting too hard for you?" Drell smirked as he teased.
"DRELL!" Atticus cried out.
"Knock yourself out, kid." Drell replied.
Atticus soon let the gumball go as Princess Lolly had the scepter back. Jolly soon morphed into a pair of scissors to free King Kandy from the licorice ropes which tied him up. Princess Lolly waved to her father and older sister as she came into the circle with her lollipop scepter.
"She's making her father and sister so proud." Drell smiled.
"Everyone, present your gifts!" King Kandy smiled to his people.
The people of Candy Land soon gathered around to donate something to the Sweet Celebration once Princess Lolly did what she needed to do. Drell began to make sure that everyone had presented their gifts. Mr. Mint gave his peppermint stick, Jolly gave his candy hearts, Granma Nutt brought out some peanuts in a lovely basket.
The others soon joined in with a special looking jar, a chocolate bunny, a muffin, a wrapped up jawbreaker, a truffle, and a small chocolate cake. The Sugar Rush racers soon joined in by giving their best possessions which collaborated with their designs and character types. Adorabeezle gave a red and green peppermint, Candle Head gave saltwater taffy, Crumbelina gave animal crackers, Gloyd gave candy corn, Jubileena gave cherry-dipped Chocolate Kisses, Rancis gave chocolate peanut butter cups, Snowanna gave grape candy scented gumballs, Swizzle gave a hard candy known as Jolly Ranchers, and Taffyta gave some heart-shaped candies like you see during Valentine's Day.
'Looks like everyone is doing their part.' Drell thought to himself.
Vanellope reached into her hair and took out her hair ribbon which was a sweet red licorice stick and decided to include it in the Sweet Celebration. Drell saw what Vanellope did and smiled as that was very thoughtful of her. Once Vanellope did that, her hair fluffed down behind her ears and on her shoulders.
"That's a good look for you." Taffyta commented.
"Thanks, Taffyta." Vanellope replied.
Lord Licorice, King Kandy, and Granma Nutt soon saw how similar Vanellope now looked like her mother.
"Your gifts are graciously welcomed." King Kandy said after he put his scepter in with Princess Frostine's.
"Wait, we're missing one offering." Princess Frostine told her father.
Drell began to count the offerings to see if someone's offering was missing.
"Hmm... There is one space..." he then said. "But what's missing?"
Jib poked his head out shyly.
"Come on, Jib, it's your turn." Patch told the gingerbread boy.
Mint soon picked up Jib to let him have his turn.
"I have nothing left," Jib frowned as he looked into his bag. "I failed you, Mother!"
"But Jib there is still some frosting left, right?" Pupcake asked.
"None that I can see." Jib frowned.
Pupcake soon checked the bag and where he saw that Jib was right.
"Jib, if you hadn't sacrificed your icing, your friends would still be in danger," Princess Lolly smiled to the gingerbread boy. "You saved the day!"
"Wrong, Lolly," Jib frowned. "Look, I have no gift to offer."
They soon heard Lord Licorice laughing. Drell looked over with a small growl.
"How perfect!" Lord Licorice smirked to Jib. "You've wasted your icing and now the celebration is ruined! Now nothing will bloom!"
Jib sniffled as he felt terrible right now. "I'm so sorry!" he then cried out before falling to his knees and broke down crying.
Patch frowned for his gingerbread friend.
"Drell, can't we do something?" Cherry asked the warlock.
"Trust me, this is gonna be worth it." Drell told her with an actual smile.
"How is this okay?!" Cherry asked. She got her answer as the huge circle began to glow.
Drell crossed his arms with a smirk.
"...I'll shut up now." Cherry muttered.
"What's happening?" Patch asked.
"What does it look like? Jib is helping The Sweet Celebration." Drell replied.
"What?!" The others asked him as the circle began to glow because of that.
"Jib!" Princess Lolly called out happily which got his attention which soon turned to confusion.
"Jib, my boy, you are the gift!" King Kandy smiled. "We all said that Candy Land blooms because of what you bring, but this young man has shown us that it blooms because of who you are. You, all of you, are a Sweet Circle!"
"Ohh." The others smiled.
"I knew Jib was special from the moment I first met him." Patch smiled.
"Just like I have with Vanellope," Rancis said. "Uh, speaking of which, Vanellope... I... I..."
Vanellope looked to him.
"Peppermintyriffic!" Mint smiled, happy for Jib.
Swizzle soon got Rancis closer to Vanellope. Minty soon began to do the same to Vanellope to get her to Rancis.
"Rancis, what're ya tryin' to say?" Vanellope asked.
"Vanellope von Schweetz, ever since our game was first programmed into Litwak's Arcade, I found you to be very amazing, and don't get me started about that time with Turbo when he tried to delete your code and wipe your existence away from our memories," Rancis soon spat out. "And there's something that I've been meaning to tell you since the day I've met you. I, Rancis Fluggerbutter, LOVE YOU!"
'Finally.' Swizzle thought to himself.
"You love me?" Vanellope asked.
"Yes... More than words can say... And you play a song in my heart whenever I'm near you." Rancis said.
"What song would that be?" Vanellope asked.
"HIT IT!" Rancis called as pop music began to play.
'I knew there would be a song involved.' Drell thought to himself.
Everyone looked around as Vanellope sat on stage beside Rancis as he took a microphone before singing to her.
"My girl's like candy, a candy treat, She knocks me high up off my feet, She's so fine, as can be, I know this girl is meant for me~" Rancis rapped before he got into the song to show how he really felt about the Princess of Sugar Rush. "Vanellope, You are my world When you're with me, You brighten up my day, All I know, When I'm with you, You make me feel so good, through and through, The way you walk, and the way you talk, You always look so good, you make forget my thoughts~"
Vanellope just knew that this song was truly from Rancis's heart.
"Do you really love me?~" Vanellope soon sang back to him. "Don't you really care? Do you really need me And will you always be there?~"
"Every night and every day~," Rancis continued to sing. "I'm always thinking of you in every way, All I know, When I'm with you, You make me feel so good, Through and through, Vanellope, you are my world~"
"You're everything, everything, everything to me~" Swizzle chorused.
"Vanellope, what I want to say~" Rancis sang.
"I need your love, each and everyday!" Gloyd chorused with Swizzle.
'I just know this will end perfectly.' Drell thought to himself.
Rancis soon finished up as he took Vanellope's hands. Instead of saying thank you for the song, Vanellope stood on her tiptoes and then gave him a kiss right on the lips, and where that was all Rancis needed. Everyone then cheered and celebrated for both the Sweet Celebration and for Rancis and Vanellope now becoming a couple. Mint soon helped the others up onto the Sweet Circle which made Princess Lolly smiled as she soon put her scepter in to make the celebration official as she was trusted with the job as the princess of Candy Land.
"Lookit!" Vanellope pointed out to the licorice vines which seemed to go away from that.
"Looks like they're going away." Patch said.
"Wow! A new road!" Jib smiled.
"Lollipops." Mo added.
A new path and world was created right in Candy Land from the Sweet Celebration's victory.
"No, no, no!" Lord Licorice cried out in defeat. "Oh, lollipops..."
Princess Lolly smiled as she set her scepter on Jib in thanks as the people of Candy Land cheered.
"Alright, now should be a good time to get you all back to Sugar Rush, and luckily, this path leads back to video game." Drell said.
"Really?" The others asked him.
"Would I deceive you?" Drell replied. He soon saw some looks that looked like he would. He then looked away from them.
"Where's our next mission?" Cherry asked.
"Like I said, Litwak's." Drell replied.
"That's easy." Atticus said.
"How do you know about Litwak's Arcade anyway?" Cherry asked.
"I take my niece and nephew there all the time," Drell replied. "Besides, you really think I lose track of your many adventures?"
"I thought you might eventually." Cherry shrugged.
"Nope, I don't." Drell shook his head.
"Hmm~..." Cherry replied.
"Also, I'm gonna be having my hands full for a while with my niece Phoebe..." Drell sighed and rolled her eyes.
"How's that?" Atticus asked.
"Her tutor quit and now her mother is making me look for someone to help educate her." Drell replied.
"Why not send her to a school?" Mo replied.
"Because we don't know if school is right for her," Drell shrugged. "She hasn't been to school since Nursery School, and she caused some experienced teachers to retire, which did not go well at all."
"Yikes." Mo said.
"Who's volunteering at an elementary school sometime soon?" Drell asked.
Atticus and Mo both raised their hands.
"Good luck." Drell said.
"Thanks, we think." Atticus replied.
"So, do you know where Vanellope's parents are?" Mo asked.
"Do you people not listen to me?" Drell complained. "Go. To. Litwak's. Arcade. For another. Adventure. With. Wreck-it Ralph."
"Alright." The others said.
"Now then, let me take you back home." Drell then told them.
"Alright." Atticus said.
"This was nice, guys, but it's time for us to go." Patch said to their new friends of Candy Land.
"Yeah." Mo added.
"Will you come back for a visit?" Princess Lolly replied.
"Maybe someday," Patch smiled. "It was really nice to meet all of you."
"It was nice to meet you too, Patch." Jib smiled back.
"You be a good gingerbread boy now." Patch smiled.
"Will do," Jib smiled back. "Thank you so much for being a good friend to me."
"No problem." Patch smiled back.
They soon shared a hug with each other before separating since this adventure was over. Soon enough, Drell used his magic to teleport them. They were all soon back at Cherry's house once Candy Land was done and over with.
