It didn't take long for their new relationship to spread all over the arcade. Actually pretty much all of the characters were okay with it, but mostly because Vanellope was an adult now. Of course the characters who knew Ralph and Vanellope best were very happy for them. Especially the other bad-guys. Satan (or Satine) and Zombie even congratulated Ralph.
Despite this Vanellope could see that Ralph seemed sad about something. A couple days after they became a couple:
"Ralph, are you okay?" She asked sympathetically after she led him to her bedroom where they could be alone.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Ralph smiled weakly.
"Ralph, I know you're not always good with describing your feelings but I can tell that something is wrong." Vanellope said seriously. "What is it?"
"It's just..." Ralph gave in. "You're the most beautiful and amazing woman in the entire arcade...and you fell in love with me of all guys. Me, a badguy, a wrecker, a giant brute who can destroy almost anything with just one hand."
"Ralph, have you forgotten that my new appearance is because of you? The only reason why I changed myself was to keep you from becoming an outcast again."
"Even so, there are at least three boys in Sugar Rush who-"
"They are all interested in other Racers anyway." Vanellope dismissed. "And besides, you may be a badguy and a wrecker in your game but that's just a job title. Everywhere else you're an extremely nice and sweet guy who just happens to be really strong. And you are not a brute, you never were. You not only risked your life to save mine, you also returned me to my proper place as one of the racers in Sugar Rush. You're my hero, my knight-in-shining-armor."
"What about prince?" Ralph smirked.
"I never heard of a prince becoming the First-Man so I don't think so." Vanellope smirked back.
"First time for everything." Ralph shrugged.
"True..." Vanellope had to admit. "Well maybe you can be my prince but don't expect me to be your princess."
"Of course not." Ralph chuckled. "You're my President Fart-Feathers and I wouldn't have it any other way."
"And you're my one and only Stinkbrain." Vanellope smiled.
Ralph smiled at Vanellope, extremely touched. He then hugged her.
"I'm so lucky to have you in my life." He said.
"No, I'm the lucky one." Vanellope hugged him back.
After that, Ralph never felt insecure about his relationship with Vanellope ever again.
The weeks passed, and Vanellope had noticed a change in Ralph: he was now so happy that he was more energetic and talkative. One day, while the two of them were hanging out near the start of the track, she decided to bring this up.
"Say Stinkbrain, you've been talking more often lately." Vanellope teased. "And you've been more energetic too. Have you been at the chocolate puddles again?"
She of course was just referencing how Ralph had reacted when the two of them had landed in a chocolate puddle after she saved him from Diet Cola Mountain's eruption.
"Nah, my newfound energy is because of you." Ralph grinned back. "The love you give me, and the love I feel for you, it's just overwhelming. Plus I've never been this happy before, so I'm still getting used to it. It's like...it's like you're my Sugar Rush."
Vanellope giggled at the pun. Ralph then started to sing:
I
Get a high whenever you're around
Sweeping from my head to my toes
I
Gotta get my feet back on the ground
Cuz you make me go
Out of my way
Crossing the line
Making me say what I have in mind
You make me so excited
And I don't wanna fight it
I start to blush
You are my Sugar Rush
Ain't nothing better baby
It is for real not maybe
I start to blush
You are my Sugar Rush
I
Got a sweet tooth and a taste for you
And it might be too obvious but
I
Can't help my self from what I do
Cuz you make me go
Out of my way
Crossing the line
Making me say what I have in mind
You make me so excited
And I don't wanna fight it
I start to blush
You are my Sugar Rush
Ain't nothing better baby
It is for real not maybe
I start to blush
You are my Sugar Rush
Baby you're my Sugar Rush
I get weak and talk too much
You're the sweetest thing I ever tasted
Baby you're my Sugar Rush
I get weak and talk too much
Cuz you make me go
Out of my way
Crossing the line
Making my say what I have in mind
You make me so excited
And I don't wanna fight it
I start to blush
You are my Sugar Rush
Ain't nothing better baby
It is for real not maybe
I start to blush
You are my Sugar Rush
Baby you're my Sugar Rush
I get weak and talk too much
You're the sweetest thing I ever tasted
Baby you're my Sugar Rush
I get weak and talk too much
You are my Sugar Rush
Vanellope kissed Ralph.
"You're my Sugar Rush too." She smiled.
Ralph smiled back and hugged her. She hugged him back.
A.N. I know it seems out of character for Ralph to sing, but that's the point: he's so happy to be in love and have someone who loves him back that he couldn't help but sing.
