Chapter 13: First date
Jessie was gathering the Ross kids and the Sugar rush racers for a family dinner. She knocked on Rancis and Vanellope's bedroom door to get them to come for dinner. A few seconds later, Vanellope came out of the door. She was wearing her new sparkling mint green dress and metallic black flats. She had her hair down and had a red flower in it. Jessie was wondering why she was so dressed up.
"Aren't you a little overdressed for family dinner night?" she asked. Vanellope was in complete shock.
"Was that today," she nervously said. Jessie shook her head. "Oh man! I'm going to have to take a rain check and so will Rancis," she responded.
"Why?" she asked, clearly having no idea what's going on in their social life.
"Me and Rancis are going on a picnic for our first date. I'm supposed to be down there in five minutes," Vanellope responded back. Jessie had a look of guilt on her face.
"Oh," she said, "Well go on and have fun." Vanellope smiled and walked out to the hallway towards the stairs.
Rancis' POV
I was waiting for Vanellope in the living room. She came into view and I was awestruck. She was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. She was wearing the most beautiful sparkling mint green dress and a mesmerizing red flower in her long raven black hair. I couldn't take my eyes off of her.
"Hey Rancis, what do you think," she said, twirling around so I could see her in every angle. I was at a loss for words.
"It, I-I mean you look… beautiful," I managed to say. We both started to blush.
"Gee, thanks Rancis," she said while looking down at the ground. I looked at the time. It was exactly seven o'clock.
"Shall we," I said and held out my hand. Vanellope giggled at my gesture.
"Yes, we shall," she said while she took my hand. We both walked out of the living room into the elevator to go start our perfect date.
Gloyd's POV
All of us except Vanellope and Rancis were patiently waiting for Jessie to come and sit down at the table. Finally, Jessie comes in and sits down.
"Where are Rancis and Vanellope?" I heard Jubalina, who was sitting right next to me, say.
"They're on their date," Jessie responded. That sentence ignited an idea in my head. I am going to ruin Rancis' date. I quickly got up and ran towards the door. I suddenly stopped when Jessie asked, "Where are you going, Gloyd?"
"I wasn't that hungry, so I thought I would go out for a stroll," I said without hesitation. I tried to run out the door again, this time being successful. Once I was out I could hear Jessie's voice saying, "He's going to try to ruin Rancis' date, isn't he." I knew that everybody was nodding at that.
Vanellope's POV
We were walking to our picnic spot. We stopped on top of a giant hill, where everything was set up already. I was awestruck.
"Wow Rancis, you really thought of everything!" I exclaimed.
"Yep, it's the most beautiful place in the whole city. I had to get a reservation just to set it up," he explained. I giggled. I didn't know he could be this… romantic. "Shall we sit," he said, walking toward the blanket. I quickly followed him onto the blanket. He lit some candles so we could see well. I smiled at the sight. All this romanticism and he saved it all for me. My train of thought was ended when Rancis said, "Are you hungry?"
"Oh, yah," I replied. He unpacked the basket in front of me, which had all my favorite foods and deserts in it. I'm very impressed with Rancis today. We ate and talked for a while and then we lay down together and looked at the stars. I've never seen this many stars before. It was beautiful! I looked at Rancis and he looked at me. As if by magic, we both came closer. Just about when our lips were about to touch, some sprinklers came on. I wasn't the only one who was confused. Rancis looked away form me a then quietly muttered something under his breathes. I was wet and cold now. This perfect date was now wet and cold and miserable. I shivered out of extreme coldness. What Rancis did next really surprised me.
"Here," he said while taking his jacket and putting it on me. I never felt happier in my entire life than in this moment. He leaned in to kiss me again and made it. I could taste the taste of Reese's peanut butter cups on my lips. It felt like an eternity of bliss. That is until something punched me in the stomach, knocking the breath out of me. I heard someone say, "V, are you alright." I didn't respond for a while.
"Rancis!" was all I could muster.
"What? I didn't do that," he said, apologizingly.
"Who else could have done it?" I quietly questioned.
"I don't know, but it wasn't me. Don't you believe me?" he said, trying to fend himself. I laughed. He's so cute when he's trying to fend for himself. "Why are you laughing?" he asked.
"Because I know it's not you," I reply. He laughs and kisses me again. I quickly became tired and fell asleep. The last thing I heard was a gentle goodnight.
Jessie's POV
What's taking those lovebirds so long! They should've been back here an hour ago! I decided to look for them, but she needed some help. "Luke! Emma! Come here!" I yelled.
"What is it?" Emma questioned from the top of the stairs.
"I need your help trying to find Vanellope, Rancis and Gloyd," I replied. The two kids looked at each other and then nodded. We headed out for our search.
After a long search, we finally found them sleeping under the stars in the most romantic place in New York. I quickly picked up Rancis and Emma and Luke picked up Vanellope and Gloyd, who were sleeping in some bushes. After we got every body we walked back to the penthouse.
Rancis' POV
When I woke up, I realized we were in our room. I got up and tried to wake up Vanellope, who was peacefully sleeping next to me. When I finally got her up, she said, "Hello handsome." I smiled when I heard that. I tried to walk out of the room when I heard Vanellope's soft voice say, "Rancis."
"Yeah," I replied back.
"I had a great time last night, thank you," she said and ran up to hug me. I thought I would never be sad again.
Authors note: Here it is, another chapter. next chapter will be an ordinary day and Rancis will ask Vanellope out again. Please R&R, your killing me here. JK LOLs.
