"The Diary"
A "Wreck It Ralph" Fan-Fiction
Part 3 - "1998"
by Dr. Thinker
It was sometime before Ralph saw a "Sugar Rush" character again. A few of the "Sugar Rush" citizens including Sour Bill had birthdays that covered Saturday through Monday - and the Bad-Anon meeting was on a Tueday. So, Ralph and Vanellope had decided to continue reading the diary on Wednesday - but he think he didn't have to worry as he got on the train to Pac-Man.
=WIR=
It has been a normal Bad-Anon meeting for Ralph much of the night. Clyde said, "By the way, we have a new member - recently restored."
The person entered from the entrance of the ghost pen. Ralph could smell the salty oil butter used to cook up popcorn. The small Japanese female was dressed in a purple ropes - she had light blonde hair with a pepper of yellow spots over all her hair. She had a popcorn necklace make out of purple, green and black popcorn.
Ralph stated, "I guessing you from 'Sugar Rush' by the way you look."
The small Japanese female remarked, "What was your first clue, Capt. Cannonball?"
Dr. Eggman remarked, "I believe it might be your popcorn necklace."
M. Bison added, "And you smell of salty butter used by American movie theaters."
Bowser asked the question, "Who in the name of Nintendo are you?"
The small Japanese female remarked, "My name is Count Mazzo Butterpop. I am a "Sugar Rush" racer - but I feel low. With the expect of President Vanellope, everyone treating me like a glitch. I take that back, I'm insulting every glitch that ever existed.."
Ralph said, "President Nut Roll was a glitch."
Count Butterpop remarked, "Did you have 'Foot Loops' for breakfast this morning, Admiral Fire Nose?"
Ralph said, "No, one of the Nicelanders give some pancake and orange juice."
Count Butterpop said, "So, you are Wreck It Ralph. My hero."
Ralph blushed as he raised his eyebrows. "You and President Jawbreaker were cut from the same block of candy"
Count Butterpop said, "Very funny. I forgot to laugh at that one."
Clyde asked, "Why is Ralph your hero?"
Count Butterpop remarked, "The programmers made 'Sugar Rush' based me on a pretween Ralph."
Everyone was stunned by this reveal, but not to the level of when Ralph said that he did not want to the bad guy anymore before his game-jumping adventure that lead to the allow Vanellope to take charge of "Sugar Rush" again.
Count Butterpop added, "I'm serious!"
Now, every villain expect Ralph, Clyde and Count Butterpop was laughing. Clyde was just staring at him. Ralph was looking at the floor feeling embarrassment by Count Butterpop. Count Butterpop tossed a book on the floor at Ralph. Ralph saw that book "SUGAR RUSH: BACKGROUND FILES" was written on it. "Read that, Sgt. Brainless."
Ralph said, "Ok. After the meeting."
Clyde nodded, "Good idea. Let's close out with the affirmation"
Everyone hold hands and said, "I'm bad, and that's good. I will never be good, and that's not bad. There's no one I'd rather be than me."
Ralph picked on the book on the floor.
=WIR=
Ralph took the book with him. Turns out the book was all about the backgrounds - fictional and real world outside of the game screen. Somehow, in the past, before Turbo took over Sugar Rush, Princess Vanellope Von Schweetz must have come meet herself from a "Sugar Rush" for one of the old consoles to get this book. Mostly like a Playstation system, since that kind of home console could have this files as unlockables. After reading a few, he went to sleep.
=WIR=
Ralph sighed as he gotted a tall female and acted like a gothic - but not a perky one - insulting a quarter in second slot. He know her as "The Goth". The second slot was the player to take control of him - wrecking the building.
Ralph went to work on wrecking the building as usual - with Felix hoping in trying to repair the building as usual. The Goth game ended with duck removing Ralph's last life. The Goth groans - and spot "Sugar Rush" not to far away - Ralph saw the Goth put in a few of quarters and picked his friend Vanellope to race as. The Goth slammed Vanellope's kart into some of the railings. Vanellope's face icon turned from happy to confused to downright mad. Everyone face icon turned mad. The face icon usually show their - for lack of better words - poker face. Goth ended up in 5th place - much to her dismay - and left to tell Mr. Litwick that some weird was going on with "Sugar Rush".
A smart female with glasses show up soon enough dressed in a white shirt and shorts. Her legs were too short for pants. She hopped into "Sugar Rush" and insert a few quarters. Ralph finally recognized her as "The Game Nerd" - one of the best player in the arcade. Everyone in "Sugar Rush" started to show their best smile or very cheesy smile. She picked Vanellope as her player and played six races - all of them won. Mr. Litwick arrived to check on "Sugar Rush" during the four game and watch "The Game Nerd" play
Soon after the final one, Yuri remarked, "Coast all clear!" and then Felix remarked, "Quitting Time!"
=WIR=
On entering Bookville, he meet up with Vanellope at one of it's library. Ralph handed Vanellope the book he gotten at the Bad-Anon meeting while. She put the book in her hoodie's right pocket and took out her past self's old dairy out of her hoodie's left pocket.

The arcade is closed. I was forward last Thursday about this one. Today, at noon, I will hold the first Random Roster Race of 1998.

Saturday, Feb. 14, 1998
Sigh. I had a hard time dealing with Jubileena today. Her favorite thing other than racing - is matchmaking - and today's holiday was all about love - Valentine's Day. I don't many time I had to hit my head on my kart.

Sunday, April 12, 1998
This time, things were a bit calmer - but we got a surprise - A large chocolate bunny hopped in - or race in. The other racers didn't know what to think. I think that was our "Sugar Rush" version of the Easter Bunny. I wonder if we have a candy Santa Claus here as well. Well, it's hope we don't get unplugged anytime soon - so we can find out.

Tuesday, May 26, 1998.
I was confused as the arcade was closed yesterday. Turn out yesterday was Memorial Day. Business are usually closed that day.
As for racing, Count Mazzo Butterpop got the win on the Random Roster Race, yesterday. I got third place on that.
I decide to take a few days out of the Random Roster Race for a special treat for the entire arcade.

Friday, June 5, 1998
My special treat was to invite everyone in the arcade to "Sugar Rush" 1st Anniversary Party. Almost everyone was there - though Gene, one of the Nicelanders accidently started a war between the good guys and bad guys present. I need to get some fresh air - so I left my game world and found face to face with Ralph.
I said, "Well, it's old Ham-Hands himself. Long time no see."
Ralph laughed, "What's in the name of Donkey Kong is that noise?"
I replied, "My game, "Sugar Rush", is having it's first anniversary party. Everyone in the arcade was invited."
Ralph said, "Not me."
I asked, "Mind if I hang with you?"
Ralph said, "I got to iron the ducks in my game."
I wonder what was wrong him and turned invisible to follow him. He went to sleep in small dump - and I don't mean a shack - a actual dump - fill with bricks. I explored the building Ralph wrecks in his game. Everything felt like a 8-bit game. In the penthouse at the top, open invites to the "Sugar Rush' 1st anniversary party - all expect on - to W.I.R.. I checked the trash can - found a half burn one. I got a theory that was Ralph's invite.
V.V.S.
=WIR=
Ralph yelled, "GENE!"
Vanellope know Gene, as the moron blockhead that leads the Nicelanders. If Gene didn't get to a heavy argument over Ralph. Ralph wouldn't have mess up "Hero's Duty" and "Sugar Rush" - kepting Turbo in power as King Candy.
Vanellope said, "Maybe we can come up with a prank for him."
Ralph said, "He's always expecting me to play a prank. so I just try to kept out of the way unless it's game time for us."
Vanellope said, "Then I play a joke on him. I got a idea."
=WIR=
It was a rough day at the game office for Gene. Today, they got 20 players for "Fix-It Felix" from opening of the arcade to the closing of the arcade. Gene picked up his martini to slip it as he does every night. He slip it slowly. He wanted to forget about the time he accidently called "Turbo Time" old-fashion when "Roadblasters" was around. Then he spit it out. It was mixture of milk, candy canes, pretzels, peanut butter, chocolate and whipped cream.
Gene groaned as he saw Vanellope standing in the doorway. He heard loud laughing from outside. He had a feeling that it was Ralph yucking it up.
Vanellope smirked, "A suitable punishment for a jerk like you."
Gene said, "You just bad as that witch that was dressed like a fairy tale princess that I had the misfortune of meeting in 1998."
Vanellope took out the crown that she got when she reset "Sugar Rush" by crossing the finish line. Her pink princess dress went on her.
Gene gasps, "No wonder you got so well with Ralph. You are really a Bad Guy!"
Vanellope asked, "Sorry. Much of the anti-heroes and villains in 'Sugar Rush' are based on salty foods like pretzels, popcorns, and french fries. Much of the good guys are based on sweet sugar stuff like soft drinks. In fact, my theme is sugar."
Gene fainted as just as Max, the janitor game up from the bottom floor.
Max said, "President Schweetz:Tell Ralph that if Gene doesn't recover by opening of the arcade tomorrow, I will replace Gene as the Nicelander that he throws."
Between heavy laughter, Ralph said, "Thanks for the replacement offer, Max - and may take you up on that offer - if Gene doesn't recover that prank."
Vanellope open the window and tap Ralph on their hands as both of them said, "Top Shelf!"
=WIR=
Soon after the Vanellope's successful prank on Gene, Vanellope got sick for two weeks - she was confined to her bedroom for the entire weeks that she was sick. By the time, she recovered - she discovered two shocks - she was dressed in her princess outfit - and she couldn't glitch out of it. She switch from her princess dressed to her hoodie outfit. Then she recalled her past self's invisibility trick - and with a bit of thinking - she did it and took a long walk to castle's garage where her Candy Surprise, the kart she and Ralph made in the bakery, shut down the invisibility trick, and hop in car - then reactivated the invisibility - discovering that included her kart. If anyone could see past her invisibility, they would saw Vanellope with a wicked grin that would make Bad Guy in the arcade green with envy.
The first thing after she becoming President was removing the coin rule that Turbo used. As long as you have a kart and show up on time, you can race in the Random Roster Race. She saw Sour Bill setting up the Random Roster Race as she told him two weeks ago. Everyone was present and soon as Sour Bill started the race. Everyone was racing their best - using power up as they can get them.
She speed past them and took a commanding lead without even using her power up. Taffyta miscalculated a Syrup Slick launch that send it forward instead of backwards - landed right on top of her covering her chocolate syrup.
Rancis remarked, "That got to a girl!"
The Swizz added, "Maybe. Some dudes look like girls and I'm talking to one of them."
Rancis remarked, "You just as bad as Gloyd."
The Swizz asked, "At least I'm not as bad as Taffyta and Mazzo put together."
Rancis smirked as he crossed third and Gloyd make fourth. By the time the ninth racer - Rescok Rootdrew - crossed the final line. Candlehead, the racer that took fifth place remarked, "I think that's the President!"
Rancis asked, "Are you suffering from a case of low sugar, Miss Cakence Candleday?"
Everyone was stunned by Rancis's question - when someone used Candlehead's actual name - they were down right serious.
Candlehead answered, "No - it's just that I recalled that the Princess had invisibility as her power."
Everyone expect the still invisibility Vanellope started laughing - -then after ten minutes - Vanellope could hold her laughter anymore and let her laughter join the others. About a minute afterwards, Vanellope invisibility trick stopped.
After Gloyd high-five for that awesome prank, Vanellope asked Candlehead, Taffyta, and Rancis to come to the castle.
=WIR=
Ralph entered the game world and found a open door and saw Vanellope speaking to Candlehead, Taffyta, and Rancis. Ralph waited as he thought she was starting or finishing up a meeting.
Vanellope stated, "In summary. I believe when I crossed the line to reset after King Turbo Bug business - I set off a slowly-moving soft reboot. After the Random Roster Race, I checked the code room. The game had reinstall all but mostly recent upgrade to the system. I guessing when that's inserted - everything will be mostly like back to normal here. Now, I have a smell an important friend a.k.a Admiral Stunk."
Vanellope run right out of the room and right into Ralph's body and remarked, "Hey, Stinkbrain. You could move out of the way, so you don't kill me!"
Ralph said, "You are in your own game, President Sour Face."
Vanellope said, "I know that - but while I checked the code. I discover that if I am kill while in 'Sugar Rush' - I will ended up in the first outfit I was code with..."
Ralph remarked, "That doesn't sound so bad."
Vanellope ignores Ralph's remark and finished her remarks "...And that is my puffy pink princess dress."
For ten minutes, you could heard a "M&M" drop in the castle before Vanellope remarked, "Let's try to finish the 1998 section today, Sgt. Bulldozer."
Since Ralph was having problems with his mouth forming words, he just nodded in the American "yes" way.
=WIR=
Saturday, June 27, 1998.
I told Gene if he doesn't invite Ralph to the next July 4 party in "Sugar Rush", he's going to wish his final game over what I am playing on doing to him.
V.V.S.
=WIR=
Sunday, June 28, 1998
I'm making a mock martini out of items found in "Sugar Rush" - the mock martini contains the following items: milk, candy canes, pretzels, peanut butter, chocolate and whipped cream. Either way, this is a win-win for me. I added a new party goer or I get to play a prank.
V.V.S.
=WIR=
Ralph said, "That was the prank that you pulled on Gene about two weeks ago!"
Vanellope said, "By the way that blockhead of a blockhead acted when I played the same joke, that my past self got to play her joke."
=WIR=
Saturday, July 4, 1998
Today, I saw almost the entire arcade entered my game for a "July 4" picnic. The Bad Guys headed to Diet Cola Mountain. while the Good Guy head to Salt Taffy Beach. I know for a fact that Taffyta and Pescok will give a earache tomorrow - but I don't know which one is going to worse than the other.
V.V.S
P.S. No since of Sgt. Brickface a.k.a Wreck-It Ralph today. So I think I play a joke on Gene, but I waiting August to pull it.
=WIR=
Saturday, August 1, 1998.
Joke played. With help of some of the other game character from "Burger Time", "Tapper" & "Action News", I created what humans might call a picnic lunch. That was every night from July 20 to July 30. Yesterday, I invited over Gene to talk business over picnic today as soon as the "all clear" signal was made.
He was present just six minutes after "Action News" give the "all clear" signal. The start was pretty good - and planning on using one of my land's sweet in his game's pie. By the time, we reached the mock martini, he was in good spirits - and he took one slipped of it, call me a witch in a fairy princess outfit and run out of the game as if he was a villain chased by army of Devil Dogs. I hadn't laugh that so hard at something in a long time.
V.V.S.
P.S. Zella Pretzel-Roddus won the Random Roster
=WIR=
Saturday, August 15, 1998
Today, a player picked me at his avatar - and send me to the bakery to play that "kart" mini-game. I haven't see anything as ugly as what come out of it. It looked like something a moron, a glitch or both would create - it looked like something out of horror movie. After he raced it - I show it to Gloyd. He remarked that cart looks something out of horror movie such as "Mentos: The Candy of Fate".
V.V.S
P.S. The following page is photo of Gloyd's drawing of the Candy Monster.
=WIR=
Vanellope blinked at the next page. It was her present day kart she's been using.
Ralph said, "At least we know why game kept the kart. I guess your old one got destroyed when Turbo got eaten by a Cy-Bug."
Just then, a strange brown hair girl entered. Her clothing was odd mixture of yellow, brown, and white. Before, Ralph could said anything, Vanellope remarked, "Zella. What's up?"
The girl answered, "Litwick is buying a tenth upgrade."
Vanellope said, "Holy swedish fishes! How long until he gets around to do so."
Zella said, "He's waiting on Vanna Bean to check to see if there is no glitches in the game."
Vanellope remarked, "Thank goodness, that my invisibility power is back to normal."
Ralph said, "So you are Zella Pretzel-Roddus?"
Zella said, "That's my name. Don't wear it out. Don't worry, I only give President Princess here a hard time during the day - if I'm on the Roster for that given day and not picked by the player."
Ralph said, "That's good news to this this bad guy's ears."
As Zella left, Vanellope remarked, "He's fine though I am worry about you meeting Mazzo. He acts like you before the 'King Turbo Bug Crisis' here. He thinks he's you as a preteen."
Ralph said, "He showed up to a Bad-Anon meeting about two months ago. He was the one that give me that background book."
For ten minutes, you could heard a "M&M" drop in the castle before Vanellope remarked. "Let's get back to the dairy."
=WIR=
Monday, September 7, 1998
Guess what? Not chicken feet! I meet another version of myself from a Playstation game. She give full files on everyone in "Sugar Rush" including myself. I read of them when I need to kill some time between the Random Roster Race and bed time.
V.V.S.

Friday, October 30, 1998
I forward Gloyd to get too crazy out tomorrow even if it was "Halloween" - the time of treats and tricks.
V.V.S.
=WIR=
Saturday, October 31, 1998
Gloyd T.P. - toilet papered - my kart! So I used my invisibility to wreck his kart. He didn't took so well - and broke down crying.
V.V.S
=WIR
Ralph remarked, "So I'm not the first to wreck a cart in this game and make some cry."
Vanellope said, "You know something. We need to get a full report on that entire 'King Turbo Bug' crisis that happen here."
Ralph said, "May be your past self may clue us in when Turbo show up."
Vanellope said, "But my the looks it's seems to 18 against 1 or if he gets the bad guys on his sides - 16 against 4. Either way, those odds aren't worth a pile of 'Reese Pieces' in this game or any other game."
Ralph nodded, "Those odds ain't even good for 'Action News' characters." Ralph paused before a moment before asking, "Can we get back to the dairy?"
Vanellope nodded, "No harm done there, Mud Stunk, there is only three entries left for 1998."
=WIR=
Tuesday, December 1, 1998
I got a plan to get Gene to try to treat Ralph a bit more friendly. I'm going to put a brick in his stocking every Christmas season until he threats.

=WIR=
Friday, December 24, 1998
Everything went like clockwork though Gene thought that Ralph throw a brick into his room and that landed in Gene's stocking. Right now, I feel like a glitch in my own game - but I know that glitches can't leave their games since I'm writing this entry while invisible sitting on top of Ralph.
V.V.S.
=WIR=
Ralph jumped up - and went with enough force to land on Vanellope pretty hard. Vanellope faded in code. Ralph start crying for a few seconds before a sceptre was throw at him.
Vanellope reappeared in her Princess dress, "YOU MORONIC STINK BRAIN, YOU KILLED ME!"
Ralph tried to run but Vanellope hopped on his shoulder and used her sceptre to hit him on the head. Ralph throw her hard against the wall - again killing her - but Ralph run as fast as he can before the game start to regenerate Vanellope. Both him and Vanellope need to - as they said in the 80's - take a chill pill - after the last diary entry.
=TBC=
Ok. That was weird way of ending a chapter - but a ending of chapter non the last. Next up is 1999.
