-Chapter 3: Doublestripe-

Vanellope and Swizzle were in the east part of the swamps, and were near where Ralph met Vanellope for the first time. "Ya' see any dragons yet?" Vanellope asked. "Nope. Not a dragon in sight, aside from a few wild ones, and that one perched on top of that tree above the taffy lake." Swizzle replied. "Well, they're all wild dragons! Ga-doi!"

The nearest dragon was hard to spot. It was white with red stripes and green eyes, and looked similar to a candy cane. Its stripes were in a pattern similar to the double striped branches on the candy trees. It let out a screech that sounded similar to a cougar. "Let's try an' train that one."

Vanellope hopped from one giant gumdrop to another, leaping onto the tree and climbing it. The tree seemed somewhat familiar, as she had been there before. Was it the same place where she had met Ralph? It seemed like it. "Hello, dragon! What brings ya' here?" The dragon grunted lightly and knocked Vanellope down a couple branches. "Oh, is that how yer' gonna play the game? Then fine, hard mode it is!" She climbed up the tree a bit more, but the dragon shook the tree. She accidentially grabbed a double striped branch, causing her to fall down onto another branch, luckily springing her back into the air.

"Hah! Beat that, ya' scaly beast!" Apparently, the Deadly Nadder didn't like being called that, so it grabbed her with its tail and hung her by her hoodie on a branch. It then made a little grunting noise. "Wha- hey! Get me down from here, ya' sour patch kid!" Vanellope then saw a Monstrous Nightmare in the sky, heading for her. "Aaahh, stinks." Wait. Hold on. Was that… Candlehead? Riding a dragon? "Don't worry Vanellope, I'll get you down from there!" Yep, it was her. The dragon picked her up with its talons and set her down. "Thanks. Y'know, that dragon just wouldn't let me train it. How'd you train yours?"

The Deadly Nadder swooped down and grabbed her again, playfully putting her back on the branch. "Well, if ya' insist." The dragon knocked her down to the bottom branch. The dragon knocked its tail on the tree three times as if it were counting down. It roared, as a way of saying 'go'.

She began to climb up the tree, dodging sharp spines being launched at her. After tons of jumping, dodging obstacles, and climbing, she made it to the top. The dragon looked impressed. Vanellope had sucessfully completed its little challenge. It made a little warbling noise. She slowly placed a hand on the dragon's snout. It then pulled its head back after a few seconds and then got her down from the tree. "And I'm going ta' call ya'… Doublestripe."
