"Ah, I love the smell of X-Box in the morning." Vanellope said as she stepped into her game.
"How would you know? We only just got booted up." Taffyta pointed out, walking up next to Vanellope.
"Well I smell it now." Vanellope argued.
"Oh yeah? What's it smell like?" Taffyta challenged.
"Girls, you gotta relax. We just got here, it's time to take a look around. Right man?" Swizzle said.
"Yeah, whatever. Someone get me a mirror, I wanna see how the new graphics make me look." Rancis said, trying to find something reflective.
"Oh my gosh, this is so cool! I can't wait to see all the new tracks!" Adorabreezle said as she ran around examining everything.
"Yep, looks like everything's going just great." Vanellope said.
"Everything is going just horribly." Minty Zaki was still sitting outside the game, lamenting to her friend Suzy Sourapple.
"C'mon Minty, it'll be fine." Suzy said.
"Maybe for you guys, but I'm just the joke character. I'm based on ice cream, but I've got a big fire strapped to my head." Minty said.
"Don't be so negative. It's a new game, a fresh start, everything we need to turn life around. Maybe you'll be one of the Lethal Joke Characters." Suzy suggested.
"Lethal? I can barely even race. My car always has low speed, it's big and clunky, and I look like I was doused in green paint." Minty said.
"I don't see what's wrong with green. You know what though? I have an idea." Suzy said as she walked over to her luggage. She pulled out a bright pink jacket and tossed it over to Minty.
"That was supposed to be Jazz Apple Red, but it fell in a pool of frosting. Now you at least won't be all green." Suzy said.
"Thanks. Listen, I'm sorry that you had to listen to this." Minty said as she pulled off her old mint green jacket and replaced it with the pink one.
"What are friends for? You look great by the way." Suzy said.
"Yeah, I do. I guess it doesn't really fit with the mint theme though." Minty said.
"Ditch it then." Suzy said.
"What? I can't. Minty Zaki was advertised all over the place." Minty said.
"Suzy Sourapple wasn't." Suzy said.
"What are you saying?" Minty asked.
"I'll be Minty so the fans are happy, and you can be somebody else." Suzy suggested.
"That's crazy!" Minty said.
"Good point. You need a new name and theme." Suzy said.
"No, I mean… do you really think it would work?" Minty asked.
"Absolutely. We're geniuses, I'm sure we can think of something." Suzy said.
"Mint's pretty much all I've got though." Minty said.
"You have a candle." Suzy said.
"And what am I supposed to do with a candle on my head?" Minty asked
"You could call yourself Candlehead." Suzy said.
"You aren't feeling very original today are you?" Minty asked.
"Don't worry, I'm sure we'll think of something. And if not, we can fall back on Candlehead." Suzy said, walking into the game.
"Oh right, because I'd walk around calling myself Candlehead." Minty said, running after her friend.
Within an hour, the character files detected an error. Apparently, the names of Minty Zaki and Suzy Sourapple had been changed. The game corrected itself to acknowledge the new Minty Zaki and the strangely named Candlehead.
