Thanks for the follows!


Felix and Ralph decided to introduce me to their new friend. I think her name was Penelope, or something like that. We were on our way to Sugar Rush when a blonde lady who looked rather scary approached us. I stare up at her... Her size irks me.

"Oh, hey honey!" Felix jumps up and gives the lady a peck on the cheek.

"Hey, Fix-It."

I stare at the two of them as if they just grew second head. And then bit it off. How could someone like Felix... Be with someone like... Her?

"Hey, uh... Felix? Who's she?" I ask slowly

"I am Sergeant Tamora Jean Calhoun from Heroes Duty, and you are?"

"I'm Jay-G... From... Jungle Fever... 2..." I stare up at her, feeling a bit intimidated. "So are you and Felix...?"

"Oh, I forgot to tell you! This dynamite gal is my fiancé." Felix explains.

If I was drinking something, I'm sure I would've done a spit take at that moment. I take a few moments to form a proper sentence in my head before saying it outloud.

"You son of a gun!" I drape my arm over his shoulder. "You didn't tell me you were married!"

"So where are you pussy willows headed?" Sergeant Calhoun crosses her arms, a small smile on her harsh features.

"We were just taking Jay here to Sugar Rush to meet Vanellope."

Ahh, that's her name. I follow them into the game plug, coming out the other end to see... A land made entirely of candy. From up here, I could see the words Sugar Rush on the ground written in what looked like green frosting. The sounds of go karts fill my ears. But I couldn't focus at the sight of all the candy. The trees, the ground, everything was made of pure candy! As we venture farther in the land, my stomach starts to growl.

I try to ignore it as we come to stands full of candy people. My mouth falls open and I stop mid-step. Popcorn, lollipops... Assorted candy, some with nuts.

"Don't go eating the candy citizens." Ralph warns.

"Wh-What? I'd never, ever think of ever doing that!" I lie, hurriedly catching up to the group.

But truthfully, I did consider it... But wouldn't that technically be cannibalism? Eh... I'll stick to the trees. I wonder what those lovely go karts taste like? Matter of fact, how do those things even run, being completely made of candy and all...

"Ralph! You came!" A small girl, who(thankfully)wasn't taller than me runs up to us. She takes one look at me and laughs. "Who's the short girl?"

"I'm not short!" I hiss. "And anyways, your shorter than me!"

"Yeah, but I'm only 9! And this game is made to be short and sweet!" She explains. "But you, your just plain ol' short."

"I'm fun-sized."

The girl changes her voice, making it slightly hard to understand her, "Erm fun-serzed."

"...your mocking me."

"Yer' mocking me."

"That's very mean and-"

"Blah blah blah blah."

I crack a smile and shrug the girls off, "So, you must be Princess Stinkbrain, eh?"

A look of shock registers on her face, but it soon turns stern, "That's President Stinkbrain to you!" She starts to snigger and laugh.

"President? But your 9!"

"So is pretty much everyone in this game."

"...Touché,"

"Racers to the starting line!" A random voice suddenly announces.

Vanellope bolts off and hops in her kart, of which looked like it went through a frosting explosion. I laugh a bit and go sit with the others. I look at the big screen that showed the names of the racers, Vanellope the first name up there.

A big glowing 'ready' appears above the starting line. Racers rev their candy engines as it switches to 'set'. A horn sounds as 'go!' shines above their heads, then their all racing off. I look up at the screen that broadcasted the race. A boy(possibly the only boy in the entire game) was in first place, weaving through deadly-looking gumballs.

"Woah..." I stare with wide eyes at the screen as they make a jump, 2 racers coming short and landing in some kind of creamy dessert. "This looks... Amazing," I glance at Felix. "Is there more?"

"Yes, there are multiple tracks all through Sugar Rush." He explains, gesturing to the wide expanse of candy-themed buildings. "Even a few hidden ones."

"There's even a factory over there to bake a kart." Ralph points his huge finger.

"Bake? Don't you mean make?"

"No, I mean bake."

"Oh..." I shift my attention back to the race.

I look at the screen with the racers names and see Vanellope's name rising up. I look at the other screen and see her glitching all over the place. She gets behind a girl with a lollipop in her mouth and after a few seconds, glitches in front of her and speeds away.

I raise an eyebrow curiously as a group of racers speed towards the finish line. A flash of blue occasionally appeared in the crowd. I smile a bit and cheer for Vanellope. I'd cheer for others, but I don't know their names.

"YEAH! GO PIPSQUEAK!" I yell over the crowd.

A cloud of chocolate dust billows up into the air as they pass the finish line. I immediately look to the screen as the start announcing the winners.

"In first place is Candlehead. Second place is Vanellope Von Sweets. Third place is Taffyta-"

I cheer excitedly for Vanellope, even though she didn't get in first place. She still came in the top 3 at least! My pocket starts to beep, scaring the hell out of me. I fish the small handheld out my pocket and press the green button.

Arcade opens in 5 minutes.

"Oh shit, gotta go!" I stand up. "Tell Vanellope I said congrats!"

I bolt up the rainbow bridge into the station, using one of the kiosks to grab onto as I fling myself around the corner. I suddenly crash into another person, sending us both to the ground. I groan and sit up slightly.

"I am so sorry." I stand up, holding out my hand. "I should really watch where I'm going."

"It's no problem," He grabs my hand and I pull him up.

He wore a blue jumpsuit with a lighter blue stripe on it. His helmet matched. His skin was grey, his eyes almost black.

"I'm Jay-G." I introduce myself. "I've never seen you around, are you new?"

"Yeah, I uh, just got plugged in."

"What game are you from?"

"Turbo time 2!" He gives me a toothy grin. "The names Jet."

A sequel, huh? I wonder what happened to the original Turbotime? It seems like a nice game. From the way Jet is dressed, I'd have to assume its a racing game.

I look around the emptying platform, "We'll, I've gotta go. See ya later, maybe."

I head for my game, going through the surge protector and finding that they started the game without me. I cross my arms and pout, trudging to the tavern as they do an entire round without me. The moment they all die, they regenerate back here at the tavern.

"Your late, what's-your-face," Rose points out.

"My name. Is Jay." I correct.

"Whatever. Just be happy no one tried to choose you."

"That... Doesn't make me happy."

She shrugs and wipes bug goo off the side of her face. Then flicks it at me. I jump up and glare at her, pulling out my gun and shooting her with the attached blaster. She stares down at the hole in her stomach before bursting into pixels. She regenerates not to long later.

If looks could kill.


I spent the rest of the day, sitting around the tavern. I got chosen like once. I didn't mind, but it's a bit discouraging. Did the gamers not like me? Maybe it's just because of my size they automatically think 'The bigger ones must be stronger'. I puff my cheeks out as my colleagues regenerate back in the tavern. Rose glares daggers at me, still miffed at me for shooting her.

She cracks her knuckles, "Now that the day is over..."

I look up at her and flinch as she aims her turbo-blaster at my face. This will not be fun.


And so ends another chapter... Please review! Tell me what you think!
