THANKS FOR THE LAST REVIEWS. I HAVE THREE NIECES AND TWO NEPHEWS WHO ARE ADORABLE AND I HAVE A CHILD AT HEART PERSONALITY, SO THAT HELPS ME A LOT IN THIS FAN FIC TO DO THE CHILDREN DIALOGUE HUMOR.
I do not own Wreck-It Ralph or the video games mentioned.
RACING THE STARS
The two kids entered Sugar Rush on Ralph's shoulders and made their way down the rainbow-colored ramp to the candy land. So many memories hit Ralph and Vanellope once again as they stepped onto the empty race track, none of which Alpha knew about. Vanellope saw the look on his face as he just looked around, simply taking in the view and not really recalling any memories. That is another thing they would have to talk about.
"So, where are we going, exactly?" Alpha asked now that they were there.
Vanellope hadn't really thought of that either. Ralph, on the other hand, was one to make suggestions. "How about Candy Cane Forest?" he asked.
"That depends. Can we break it?" Alpha asked with much interest.
"No!" Ralph and Vanellope exclaimed.
"Okay! Okay, gee wiz," Alpha said defensively and then muttered under his breath, "Sore sports."
Ralph thought of another suggestion, "How about Diet Cola Mount…" Vanellope gave him a stare that made him think over the point of place involving Alpha, "Oh, uh… never mind."
"Why does it seem that you guys are taking the fun out of this trip?" Alpha said in a grumpy mood.
"Hey, ya tooty fruity, I don't want you to blow things up unless I say so in my kingdom," Vanellope said pointing a warning finger at him.
"Yes, mommy dearest." Alpha sassed.
Ralph laughed a bit at that until he was slapped on the head by Vanellope. "What? It was funny," he tried to excuse his laughter.
"Whose side are you on?" she asked feeling she was being ganged up on.
"Your side, of course!" said Ralph, trying to support her.
"Always the gentleman with you huh Ralph?" Alpha said crossing his arms.
"Oh, come on, leave me out of this!" he complained, "I hate being in the middle."
Alpha thought for a moment and then snapped his fingers, "I got it!" Vanellope and Ralph looked at him to hear his idea, "How about we go dodge gumballs at Gumball Canyon?" Not a very popular choice, as Vanellope and Ralph stared at him with are-you-kidding expressions on their faces. "Or not," Alpha said scratching the idea.
"Isn't there anywhere we can go that won't get us in trouble or kill us?" Ralph asked.
Vanellope thought carefully about this, as to not to pick a place too boring and dangerous. Then she got it, "Laffy Taffy Woods!" she exclaimed.
"Loafy Whoosie what now?" asked Alpha, who hadn't heard of the location yet.
"Come on follow me," she jumped off from Ralph's shoulders and skipped towards a certain direction. Alpha looked at Ralph for an explanation, but was only given a shrug. "Come on! Move your molasses!" she called back to the two.
"Well, we won't know until we go," Ralph said making a point.
LAFFY TAFFY WOODS
They found an open spot in the candied woodland area. The trees were covered with mini marshmallows and had vines of laffy taffy. It looked more like an orchard of cherry trees, as the sunlight gave the trees a golden glow through the marshmallows.
"So, why do they call it Laffy Taffy Woods when it's mostly marshmallows in the trees?" asked Alpha.
Vanellope smirked, "Because this is where people come to laugh at a face as ugly as yours!" She said and burst into laughter.
Alpha glared at her for the sudden insult, but then heard more laughter. Alpha and Ralph then looked up to see the ends of the laffy taffy lowering down and laughing.
"What in the warhead candy is that?" Alpha asked completely weirded out by the laughing candy.
"They're attracted to whatever makes them laugh. For example, the joke I made about you," she explained.
Ralph already saw what was coming and backed up a bit.
"Oh, that's convenient. I thought they were laughing at your face, since it resembled a chewed up piece up gum after it was mixed with the crumbs of an Oreo cookie," Alpha shot back.
Vanellope shot a glare back as the laffy taffy began to laugh even more, "Alright then. If you want to play like that," she said as she cracked her knuckles, "You're so dumb, you broke your own jaw when someone told you to give yourself a jawbreaker."
Alpha narrowed his eyes, "You're so ugly, you scare the jolly out of Jolly Ranchers."
"You're so fat that they decided to rename Big Hunks to Big Chunks." Vanellope returned.
"You're so dumb, they decided to use you as the next new level of Airheads candy." Alpha quickly responded.
"You're so ugly, that even candy hearts can't stand to give you love qoutes," Vanellope came back.
"You're so fat, Jelly Bellies is too kind of a word to describe you," Alpha retorted.
"You're so dumb, a box of Nerds won't let you in because you're too much of a nerd for their taste!" Vanellope made her riposte.
"Hey, that only happened once!" Alpha responded with a faked insulted expression.
They both stood there for a second before they tumbled over, laughing hysterically. Ralph was already having the time of his life hearing the two kids go at it with there jokes and insults. All the laffy taffy was lowered enough to ground to join in the laughter. The laughter could be heard across the area. Vanellope then hit Alpha in the shoulder playfully. Alpha hit her back, but with a little more force, enough to cause her to use her arm to keep herself up. She retaliated with a two-handed shove, almost making Alpha topple over, himself. Alpha then got a mini marshmallow from the ground and stuffed it in her mouth. Vanellope then sat up, surprised after having her mouth plugged by a mini marshmallow. Alpha and Ralph laughed even more as Vanellope looked at them, surprised and confused, with a fluffy white mini marshmallow plugging her mouth. She ate the marshmallow whole, tackled Alpha, and began to tickle him as best as she could. Alpha regained himself and tried to fight back with his own set of tickles for her. Ralph just sat back and enjoyed the two rolling around, tickling each other.
Then they finally came to a halt on top of each other, breathing heavily and trying to catch their breath. Everything was almost numb from the tickles and rolling that they could see the way they were positioned. Ralph sort of cleared his throat as he saw the whole thing. Vanellope and Alpha looked at Ralph's awkward expression and then looked at each other. They now noticed that she was laying on top of Alpha with their faces only a breath away. Alpha was on his back, with his elbows bracing him up. Vanellope was holding herself up by her hands on the ground as she laid right over Alpha. Both were staring at each other, afraid to move. They began to hear a song sung around them in a melodious choir as they stared into each others eyes. But soon they saw movement in the corners of their peripherals. They noticed the laffy taffy singing around them and making heart shapes with their vines, with one big heart shape with them in the middle.
Alpha got up in panic while helping Vanellope up as well, "Shoo! Shoo! You're embarrassing us!" Alpha shouted, scaring all the laffy taffy away.
Ralph just sat back, watching the two kids blush a deep red. Vanellope was still looking at Alpha, while he was to embarrassed to look at anyone, "Hey Alpha! Are you alright or you turning into a cherry?"
"Shut it Wrecking ball butt!" Alpha yelled obviously showing his embarrassment.
Vanellope then hugged Alpha from behind, which wasn't doing anything to help stop his blush, "Aw it's fine Alpha pup," she said nuzzling the side of his face.
Alpha's mind raced to control the situation, "Uh, Vanellope! I almost forgot that um… How did you and Ralph meet? I mean, since he used to be the bad guy and now he's a good guy."
It seemed to work, because Vanellope let him go and looked excited to tell the story, "Oh yeah! Doy, we never told you what happened around the arcade a few months ago."
Ralph began explaining how he was always treated as the bad guy and left to try to get a medal to prove he could be good and how he first met Sgt. Calhoun, then how he and a cy-bug flew in a ship and crashed landed into Sugar Rush. Then came Vanellope telling mostly the beginning of when she met Ralph and their little issues. They both started to get irritated at each other for remembering certain things that were said and done, but later playfully waved it off. Then, the next part of how Vanellope got herself on the random Roster Race and how everyone tried to kick her off. Ralph explained what happened to him as he chased Vanellope to get his medal back and got caught by King Candy. Next was how Ralph escaped and helped out Vanellope from her bullies when he found her and then the comical break-in at the factory. Next was escaping to Diet Cola Mountain and practicing how to race. Then came the tragic moment where Ralph was fooled to believe in King Candy's reason to keep her out of the race and finding out the dark scheme in Sugar Rush. Then was the Cy-bug attack and Ralph's attempt to sacrifice himself to save Vanellope, even if it meant failing to save himself and his game. Finally came the happy ending of Vanellope saving Ralph and ending a great threat to the arcade with mostly everything going back to normal, with a few minor changes like Felix and Calhoun's wedding, helping unplugged games find a new home, and making the dump into a second residential area.
Alpha sat through the whole story, listening to every word and picturing every moment, wishing he was there to help in the fight. He was touched by hearing about the sacrifice Ralph was willing to make and wished one day that he could make that same display of heroism.
"And that's pretty much the sum of it." Ralph concluded.
"Wow, it sounds like some of the stories from the games on the PS3," Alpha said remembering certain games.
Vanellope began to become intrigued about knowing Alpha's back story and game, "So what about your game and how you got here?" Alpha made a serious face as he recalled everything from before.
"Kid! Don't make him remember that stuff, it's still too soon for that," Ralph lightly scolded.
Vanellope then dropped her expression to a severe apologetic face as she covered her mouth, "Oh! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to…"
Alpha put a hand up to calm her down and shook his head, "It's okay now. The best way to heal a wound is to let it all out."
Ralph was still concerned for Alpha's state and asked, "Are you sure you really want to bring back those memories?"
Alpha nodded, "Yeah I am, so pay attention as I tell the shortly-put epic story of myself… and I mean epic as in me being so awesome," he joked. Ralph and Vanellope chuckled at that and listened closely to his story.
He told them about when he was created as a character and how he lived in an old medieval time. How he was just a normal boy and everything was peaceful. Then came the part where his small village was attacked by a giant, deadly, and powerful red dragon. Not even the sharpest weapon could scar him or the bravest soldier could stand to him as they dropped their weapons and fled. Alpha was the only one who took a basis sword and stood up to the red titan. He fought his best, avoiding the dragon's attacks and his flames as it laid waste to everything around him. Then, Alpha was able to sink his blade into the dragon as he was slammed by its mighty paw. Then, the dragon placed a mark onto Alpha, proclaiming him as the new arisen.
Ralph and Vanellope were leaning forward as the story progressed to hear such a fight. Vanellope was more focused on how heroically and bravely Alpha took up arms to fight a losing battle to protect his village. Ralph was amazed on the dangers and plot of the game. Alpha went on with more on how he took down mighty beasts; he was outnumbered and outmatched, yet still prevailing in every fight. They were really intrigued when Alpha spoke of the kinds of beasts he had to fight, which were Cyclopes, smaller dragons, trolls, griffins, chimeras, golems, and hydras as he gave a brief description of each one.
Vanellope was captivated by Alpha's spirit to head straight into a fight with such gruesome creatures. Ralph was just amazed that such creatures existed in one game over and over again to fight. He was sure glad there were none of those in Hero's Duty when he first went in that game. Vanellope was even more taken away when Alpha spoke of how he had helped people without taking more of an award, but the thrill of the battle itself.
But there was one thing that bothered Ralph, "So, how does your game story end?" he asked.
Alpha shrugged, "Don't know. I don't like to look ahead of my game and spoil it. Most games, nowadays, give you the choice of how to end it with either good endings, bad endings, tragic endings, or neutral endings."
This worried Vanellope, "What would you pick for an ending?" she almost didn't want to hear his answer, but had to hear to make sure.
"I don't know; some games make it a good but sad ending in many ways. I won't know the ending of my game, but that doesn't seem to matter, now, does it?" Alpha asked, referring to the fact that he had the free choice to make and not the choice he was programmed to have.
This relieved Vanellope, "Well that's good to hear; now you can stay with us forever."
"Hey, Alpha? Can I ask you something?" Ralph requested.
"Fire away, cannon ball fists," Alpha replied.
"You can make your own profile, as we know, right?" Ralph reassured.
"Yeah, what's your point?" Alpha asked, wanting to know where this was going.
"Do you think you can add more to your profile here to make a new track for your Sugar Rush character's origins?" Ralph asked.
Alpha's eyes widened before hitting himself in the head, "Augh! Stupid, stupid, stupid! Why didn't I think of that before?!"
Vanellope jumped in excitement, "You mean you can do that?!"
"Yeah, but it will take a lot of my concentration and I need complete focus." Alpha informed them.
"Gotcha!" Vanellope then started to push Ralph away to give Alpha space, "Come on, come on, hobo! Move your smelly butt and give the guy his space!" Ralph reluctantly let her lead him away a good distance, as to not to bother Alpha.
Alpha then closed his eyes and concentrated. He began to float in the air as bright pixels started to float around him. As he began to focus more, even more pixels appeared and swirled around him. Alpha was then soon glowing as he seemed to glitch. Ralph and Vanellope watched in awe as he displayed his ability. It took a full minute until he was consumed in a bright light and shook the game land after a flash of light exploded around him and small glowing pixels fell like snow.
Ralph and Vanellope uncovered their eyes to see Alpha on the ground unmoving. "ALPHA!" Panicked, Vanellope glitched right over to Alpha and tried to shake him awake.
Ralph cursed himself for letting Alpha do this when he remembered that his code may not have been able to take this kind of data all at once.
Vanellope tried desperately to find a way to revive him, but everything she tried didn't seem to work. She then put her ear against his chest and listened. Her eyes shot open in fear and sadness, as she felt nothing, not even a heart beat. She looked down at Alpha's limp body as she tried to deny that he was gone. She clutched onto his jacket and started to tear up and cry.
Ralph lowered his head in shame for allowing this to happen. This was all his fault for giving him this idea. He would never forgive himself for this.
Vanellope laid her head onto his chest and cried out loud wishing and praying to have Alpha back.
Just then, his chest heaved in a full breath of air and his eyes shot open. Vanellope jumped back in shock at what just happened. She saw him awake and… just fine.
Ralph was shock as well and overjoyed that he was alive. He ran over to help Alpha sit up straight. Vanellope was still shocked and trying to recover from her tears.
Alpha looked around a little dazed, "Wha-what happened? Did it work?"
Ralph chuckled at Alpha's first reaction, "You just came back from the dead and all you're worried about is if the new racetrack was finished?"
"Dead?" Alpha asked confused.
"You… you died. Right in front of us," She explained in a quiet, shaky voice, "You had no heartbeat."
Alpha thought of it and then had a guilty look on his face, "Oops." he said apologetically.
"What do you mean, 'oops?' " Ralph, as well as Vanellope, demanded to know.
"Um, uhh... I may have… forgotten to tell you more about the mark the dragon gave me." he said meekly.
Vanellope then grew a rather upset face, "And what would that be?" she asked, crossing her arms and drumming her fingers on her arms.
"Uh, well, you see... The dragon took my heart out and ate it," Ralph and Vanellope took on faces of shock and fear, "NO! No! Not like that! It still beats inside the dragon and allows me to live, but I just don't have a heart inside me anymore."
There was a moment of silence until Vanellope tried to attack him, "YOU SNEAKY, DOUBLE-CROSSING, WEASEL OF A MILK DUD WHOPPER FACE ANIMAL COOKIE!" She screamed, "You had me worried sick to death that you died and I lost you forever and you went back on your promise!"
Alpha then grabbed her wrists to stop her from fighting, "Calm down Schweets, I'm not going back on my promise and… did you say 'I'?" Alpha asked noticing her use of words.
Vanellope froze after realizing it, too, and began to blush furiously. To avoid any further questions or investigation on the matter, she quickly changed the subject, "Oh! Hey, what about the track? Where is it?"
Alpha then suddenly forgot about the subject change and was over-excited to show them the new track, "Oh yeah! Come on, let's go get our vehicles!" Alpha ran off ahead of them to get his racer, back in Fix-It Felix Jr.
Ralph walked up behind Vanellope, "Why didn't you tell him? That would have been a perfect moment," He asked, not knowing why she didn't take the chance.
She shuffled her feet, "It's much easier said than done," She gave an excuse. Ralph gave her a disappointed look, "I'll tell him soon, don't worry about it!"
Ralph shook his head as he picked her up and took her to where her kart was, back at the castle. "You know, the longer you wait, the more harder it will be."
Vanellope looked down, agreeing with what Ralph said. "Yeah, I know."
"Tell you what; next time, if the moment comes again, I'll be there to help you as support to tell him," he reassured her.
Vanellope looked at him and smiled, "Thanks, bubble gum butt."
"No problem, gummy bear face," Ralph smiled back.
Later, Alpha returned to the castle with his bike, where Vanellope and Ralph were waiting, with Ralph riding on the back of her kart, "So, how do we get there?" she asked.
Alpha pointed to a candy cane cannon, "In there, of course."
"Of course." Ralph deadpanned not liking the idea a lot.
"Oh, come on, diaper baby, it's fun to be shot though a cannon," she said enthusiastically.
Ralph was still unconvinced. "Yeah, well you're not the one barely hanging on the back of a kart. Tell you what, I'll just let you guys go and…"
Before Ralph could set one foot down, Vanellope's kart zoomed off, with Ralph hanging onto the back of the kart as they blasted up into the sky through the cannon. At first, Vanellope was screaming for joy, but then noticed they were still heading up higher and higher.
"Wait, what's going on?" she asked in a panic.
Soon they landed onto a multicolored Fruit By The Foot track. They then looked around to try and find out where exactly where they were.
"Where in the network did Alpha send us?" Ralph wondered.
Soon, Alpha landed near them, "So, how do you like it?"
"What kind of place is it?" Ralph asked.
Alpha smirked, "I got the idea from Mario Kart. It's a track in a space-like environment. Welcome to Starburst Trek."
Ralph and Vanellope looked around to see the world of Sugar Rush far down below. There were stars were made of glowing shaped marshmallows, the moon was a large jawbreaker, and the sun was a bright yellow gumball.
Alpha then began to give the tour of the track, "As you can see, the road is made of a multicolored fruit by the foot candy, with many twists and turns here and there, which I also added in a few places. I also split the race track into three near the end."
"Why would you do that?" Vanellope asked. She had never heard of multiple tracks separating like that.
"It's a surprise when you get to it," Alpha continued on, "There are also warp zones to glide through as well. Now, the race track hazards are what will make this the most challenging part. You got your shooting starburst…"
"Shooting Starburst? What kind of a hazard is that?" Ralph asked, unconvinced of the so-called hazard. Alpha pointed to a shooting starburst as it was coming down to crash on the track. It was an unwrapped, square Starburst which had a tail with the same color of the starburst and was made of sugar. Ralph and Vanellope looked at it in wonder until it hit the track and blew up in an explosion. Their faces of wonder turned into faces of shock and looked towards Alpha.
He shrugged, "Track hazards. Now, there is a trick to them. If you time their landing distance, you will be able to grab a power up where it crashed after the explosion clears. There are two parts of the track that has an area where these things fall down like crazy so watch out. Next is the whopper meteor shower part. It's on a road made of rock candy. Then there are several black licorice holes around here and there…"
"Black licorice holes!?" Ralph exclaimed.
"Uh, yeah, that's what space has, you know?" he continued, "also watch out for the alien head pez candy dispensers," Ralph wipe his hand over his face in frustration, " I also added some wafer cookie spaceships that shoot pop rocks at you. And, to top off, the last hazard I created is a rock candy asteroid field."
Vanellope stared down the racetrack and it's many perils. Ralph worried about them trying this track, "Look, kids you don't have to race this track now; let's just wait till…"
"What are you, a big scaredy gummy bear? Of course we have to race it!" Vanellope shouted excitedly as she hopped into her kart and Alpha hopped onto his bike.
"Now, remember, when you get to that three-way fork in the road, one leads to the asteroid field, one leads to a open plain of shooting starburst with alien head candy dispensers, and the last one leads to a Milky Way river. Got it?" Alpha asked. Vanellope nodded with an overeager, goofy smile.
"Guys, just be careful, alright?!" Ralph warned.
"Don't worry, Ralph. I'll make sure she comes back in one piece, cuz we know she can't handle my track," Alpha called back.
"Oh please, I'm going to have to bring a flat shovel to scrape you off the road?" she taunted.
"You're on, candy nerd. Let's see who can get a flawless race," Alpha retorted.
They both placed ear phones to keep in contact during the race. Along the way, every once and awhile, huge, different colored lifesaver comets flew by and left a glittering facial image of each racer of Sugar Rush.
Then, the race light began to buzz, before it turned green to go and the two kids shot off onto the road at reckless speeds. Since it wasn't a race for the win, Alpha used his nitro boost to speed through the obstacles as a personal challenge. The first obstacle they drove through were the occasional shooting starburst that were easy enough to dodge. Next came a giant loop with a continuous speed boost to keep them on the track. Vanellope screamed in excitement from the adrenaline of speeding up and making the loop. Then, they came to a winding road that had wafer cookie spaceships come out and try to shoot them down with pop rocks. It was difficult to dodge, but they managed.
"Come on, Alpha, is this the best you can do?" Vanellope taunted him.
"Schweets, that was just a warm up. But tell me if you want someone's hand to hold when we get to the tricky part?" he shot back. Vanellope blushed when she thought about that comment.
Then was a part Vanellope did not expect. The road ended right in front of a large, spinning satellite made completely out of a tootsie roll. She looked over to Alpha and saw him confidently heading towards the end of the road. She then knew it would be fine and drove straight toward it, too.
As they flew off the end, they landed on the spinning satellite. They had to dodge and swerve to avoid the satellite's solar wings and antennas. Alpha rode off the right side and Vanellope tried to look over, afraid he fell off the road, but then she then saw him ride over from the left side.
"This thing has its own gravity pull, so you can drive completely around it." Alpha informed.
"Awesome!" She shouted and then took a spin around and under the satellite.
Then they reached the end and landed back on the road again. They came to a twisting curve that was circling the face of the bright jawbreaker moon. On the moon were alien head candy dispensers that shot out pez candy from their mouths at the racers. It took a while to pass, but the view was breathtaking, even for Alpha. Then, they reached a warp gate at the end of the road. When they entered, they hit a burst of speed through the warp as they flew though the swirling candy powdered wall of the warp hole.
Then, they came to the three-way fork in the road. It was a tough choice to make, as they all looked very exciting. Alpha ended up choosing the rock candy asteroid field. Vanellope, on the other hand, chose the Milky Way river. At first, she thought it was just a road made out of milky way candy that looked like a river, but as she neared the end of the road, she saw it was an actual river made of melted chocolate, caramel, and chocolate-malt nougat. She didn't have time to stop and flew off the end of the road and down towards the river, screaming. But then, she saw her kart transforming into what soon looked like to be a jet boat racer with her kart's designs still on.
She took a moment after landing on the river and speeding down the river before she regained herself, "Sweet Mother of Monkey Milk! This is totally awesome!" she shouted in pure adrenaline.
She rushed through the river as alien heads started to pop out and fire pez candy at her. She looked over to the asteroid field and saw Alpha, as he flew a jet aircraft that resembled his motorcycle. Next time, she was going to choose that path when she raced this track again.
Alpha flew, avoiding incoming asteroids and flying through holes of asteroids. Alpha was able to spin and flip out of the way of asteroids that almost hit him. Each stunt helped to quicken his turns to avoid collisions with the rocks.
Then, the tracks merged again and their vehicles turned back into regular karts. They were both racing down a straight track towards the finish line, which Vanellope thought was sort of strange. She expected there to be a final hazard. "And where was the black licorice hole that Alpha talked about?"
"Speed up, Schweets!" Alpha called out.
She began to feel a slight pull that was picking her up. She looked up and saw a huge black licorice hole above them, "Whoa!" she panicked and sped up quickly. Their karts remained on the ground as long as the kept up their speed.
Ralph was becoming restless, as Vanellope raced not only to finish, but to outrun the pull of the black licorice hole. Alpha was right next to her, cheering her to outrun the pull of the black licorice hole.
Soon, she crossed the finish line and skidded to a stop. Vanellope jumped out and bounced around on her kart, "I did it! I'm the flawless racing winner!"
"Your gummy eyes are in backwards; I clearly won the flawless race!" Alpha said, making a winning pose.
"By won, you mean won in last," She retorted.
"Last as in, last person on gaming network to always come in first," he shot back with a smug smile.
"Spice girl!" she name called.
"Chubby bunny!" he called back.
They began to playfully wrestle each other and roll around until Ralph called them, "Hey kids, look at the time!"
They stopped to look at the board, which showed Alpha's name as "ROX" at a time of 1:20 and said Flawless Race.
Both kids jumped for joy at the new top time score for the track. Ralph just clapped for Alpha. And Vanellope hugged him for the top new record.
"You did it! You did it! You did it!" She shouted.
"Did what?" Alpha asked, confused. Ralph wanted to know as well.
"There is an unlockable upgrade to the game if someone is to beat the time of a minute and thirty seconds!" she explained.
Alpha and Ralph looked excited at the news, "So, what is the upgrade?" Ralph asked.
Vanellope shrugged, "Don't know. It's been so long that everyone forgot what it was after King Candy locked up our memories."
Alpha sighed, "Well, I guess we'll soon see, now won't we?" The others nodded, "So, what did you think of the new track?"
Vanellope then burst into hysteria as she felt the adrenaline rush all over again at remembering the thrill of it all, "Oh, my Everlasting Gobstopper! The track was so… and the hazards are so… oh! And the loops were just… and the transforming kart and satellite is completely… we went vroom! Then we whooshed! Next we zoomed and swished and boomed and… Oh I don't know what, but that was so amazing; I just loved it!"
"Well, it's bits and pieces of things I remembered from other racing games I played like Mario kart, moderating, and Sonic Racing Transformed." Alpha explained.
Vanellope then jumped onto Alpha in a hug, "This is the best track ever! I'm so glad you came to the arcade! I'm so glad we are all friends and I'm just… I'm just…" without warning or realizing, she gave Alpha a hard kiss on his cheek that left him frozen in shock and left Ralph shocked, but overjoyed to see her pull it off.
After realizing what she just did, Vanellope jumped off of Alpha and turned away, blushing like crazy. Neither said anything or dared to look at each other in pure embarrassment.
Ralph decided to cut in, "I think we all should call it a day."
"Uh, yeah. It has been a sweet... err, I mean cool day. Uh, yeah," Alpha stumbled over his words.
Vanellope shyly brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, "Uh, yeah, it was really a uh… cool day."
After coming back down to Sugar Rush, Ralph already made his way back to his game, "Hey, Ralph, aren't you going to wait for me?" Alpha asked, confused of Ralph's hurry to leave without him.
"Uh, I just uh, need to go to Tapper's real quick. Why don't you escort your little princess to her castle and kiss her good night?" He half-joked.
"RALPH!" Alpha and Vanellope shouted, blushing in embarrassment.
"Don't worry, you two; I won't tell, I promise!" he then ran off to the exit, leaving the two red-faced kids alone.
"Um… d-do you need an uh, you know... Escort?" Alpha hesitantly asked.
Vanellope shuffled her feet and fiddled with her fingers, "Well, you don't have to if you don't really want to." she said in a meek soft voice. She knew Alpha wouldn't do it, now that he had a choice. He was like that to try to get out of everything if he saw the chance. She didn't know why she even asked and…
Just then, she felt his hand hold hers and she quickly turned to see him smile at her, "I'd be honored if I could, my princess." he said.
Her heart jumped for joy and felt all warm inside and giggly, like a little lovestruck school girl. She gave a small curtsy and let Alpha escort her back, holding her hand along the way. She would get Sour Bill to come for their racing vehicles when she could.
After Ralph took the train down the exit, a new figure in a kart suddenly appeared. She looked over the land of Sugar Rush and smirked, "Watch out, Sugar Rush, you have a new racer," she said as she drove down the colored ramp, "and her name is Flannery deBrûlée."
AND THERE YOU HAVE IT. FLANNERY IS A REQUESTED CHARACTER TO MAKE THIS FAN FIC MORE INTERESTING AND ENJOYABLE, WITH NEW WAYS TO BRING MORE LAUGHS AND FUN. THIS CHAPTER IS LONGER, BUT I WANTED TO ADD ALL THAT STUFF WITH THE NEW RACE TRACK AND, IF ANY OF YOU WERE WONDERING, ALPHA USED MOST OF HIS BOOST THROUGHOUT THE RACE TO GET THAT TRACK TIME. I HOPE I DIDN'T GO OVERBOARD WITH THIS CHAPTER. REVIEW WITH YOUR OPINION.
