Chapter 4: Problem on a billboard
The vortex finally opened to show our heroes a billboard that they fall on. They are dangling 50 feet in the air on the edge of the billboard. Vanellope is shaking in her boots and starts hyperventilating.
"V, are you all right," Rancis asked. His fear for her was growing by the minute.
"Yeah," Vanellope responds, "I-I'm j-j-j-j-just…"
"Just what?" Rancis asked. He was now even more concerned for her.
"I'm just scared of heights!" Vanellope blurted out. To that, Rancis started to try and figure out how to make Vanellope feel better and try to get him and his friends to safety. Then he noticed something, the billboard had a giant teacup that was hollowed out.
"V, you're going to be alright," Rancis started, "Just look at me." Vanellope did as she was told. "Good," Rancis' soothing voice said, "Now just follow me." He moved his hands toward the teacup and Vanellope followed. When she looked down again, she was above a giant teacup. She felt a lot better. She smiled at Rancis who smiled back. The others followed them. Once all of them were over the teacup, Vanellope's hands suddenly slipped. Luckily, Rancis caught her. They were smiling at each other when Rancis' hands slipped. They plummeted down into the teacup, interrupting a date held inside the teacup.
"Is anyone else seeing the two kids who just fell out of the sky?" the redheaded girl in a beautiful pink gown said, inspecting Rancis and Vanellope, who are now unconscious. As everybody was inspecting the two kids, Gloyd, Swizzle, Jubalina, and Minty came down to see if their friends were okay. That startled everybody on the billboard.
"Who are you?" an Indian boy said. Gloyd decided to speak to the group because their leader and the second in command were out cold on the floor.
"My name's Gloyd and these guys are Jubalina, Swizzle, and Minty. Oh and the two that are passed out are Vanellope and Rancis," he said, "We are just some lost people and we need somewhere to stay."
"How'd you get on the billboard? And why are you wearing a pumpkin on your head?" the redhead asked.
"Long story," Gloyd replied, "So you know our names and we still don't know yours."
"Oh sorry," the redhead responded, "I'm Jessie, this is my boyfriend Tony, and our butler Bertram, and these little trouble makers are Luke and Ravi."
"Nice to meet you," Jubalina said.
"Since you're here, you don't mind helping us out, do you?" Jessie asked.
"Of course not," Swizzle replied, "Hey Gloyd, do you have some rope."
"Lets see," Gloyd said, looking in his pockets, "Pie, feathers, oh! Here we go."
Jessie and Tony were about to grab on to the rope, but then Minty pulled the rope up. "First help Vanellope and Rancis up," she ordered. The two obeyed the order and picked up Rancis and Vanellope. Once Rancis and Vanellope were safely out of the teacup, Minty let the rope down. Jessie and Tony climbed out of the teacup and they all walked back to the apartment.
