I Here's one more chapter. I'm doing my best to keep it clear of major errors, but you have to understand English isn't my first language and grammar isn't my cup of tea, I'll do my best and if you can point me errors to correct I would be happy, just keep in mind I'm doing my best to improve more and more.

Thank you to all my friends accompanying this history, in special to the ones who leave a review on the last chapters.

This chapter will have the first hints of the history inside the book, like Once Upon a Time even has.

All unrecognized characters and places belongs to me, Wreck-It Ralph characters and places belongs to Disney and I don't know who owns Once Upon a Time.

Let me also say, the OC, Sara/Clarion has a history similar to Emma from Once Upon a Time, but it wasn't on purpose. This OC came from the series Black 'n' White by Lily Von Schweetz and it was already full written even before I knew the show, I just noticed the coincidence while reading a Once Upon a Time remake last week.

Episodie 2: The Curse

Crystal woke up with the, surprisingly but pleasant sound of shaking keys. She slowly opened her blue eyes to spot the sheriff opening her cell's door.

She had gotten arrested after be found in the forest, passed good part of the night trying to convince sheriff Reynald - Crystal had found out Calhoun, like the girls on the forest called her, wasn't her true name - she was just on the wrong place at the wrong time and had nothing to do with whatever the two had stolen, but all to nothing, untill she was too tired to even keep herself awake.

Now she was surprised to see the sheriff hold the door open to her and say:

"You can leave now."

"Oh, right." Crystal replied. "After the whole night" It was already nine in the morning, she noticed on the clock at the opposite wall, just above the sheriff's desk. "what made you change your mind about me been lying?" Crystal raised an eyebrow, challenging for an answer. Crystal had even an authority problem.

"We confirmed your halib to the crime's hour." Was the answer she got, but not just that.

"I told her about our meeting and mom confirmed." Truffelio's voice made her turn to the exit/entrance's door, where the boy was standing with his mother just behind.

"Thank you." Crystal felt she should say at least it for them to have saved her.

With no more words from the sheriff the three leave the police office.

"No problem dear." Megan smiled at her. "But how you got on this mess?"

"One of that girls stole my money, my only way to get outta here. I was going to try to take it back when I was found next their recently abandoned camping."

"Want a ride to the next city?" Megan offered. "I will just let Truff at school."

"No!" The boy almost yelled. "Crystal will be fine right here." He rushed to correct. "And, talking about be fine, I can walk with her to the school? Just today?" The boy put his best innocent-looking smile to his mother, but he already knew the answer.

"All right dear, but beware. I take you at the exit."

Magan kissed her son's forehead and walked back to the car.

"Why don't let me get a ride back home?" Crystal asked as she drove away.

"Second, because we need you to break the curse; First, because my mother can't leave the city."

"First, you know normal people list things other way, don't you? And second, why she can't leave?"

"It's part of the curse. No one can leave the city, bad things happen when someone try."

"But you leave." Crystal stated.

"It's different. I was born on this world, not in the one where the others came from. And you also was out, because you was sent out before they got here."

The girl just rolled her eyes.

"Are you still insisting on this history? Not even your criminal friends believes you. I heard them laughing from it last night."

"Yeah, I know, but they still stick around, as are you doing, and it's why I trust you. Sooner or late you all will believe"

"I doubt it." The girl muttered to herself. so said louder "So, changing the subject, why they live on that forest?"

"Sara and Penelope? They're orphans and outcasts, no one knows why, it's this way since everyone remember. But I know the truth." Truffelio explained, pushing something from inside his school bag.
It was a book, Crystal had already sawn one like that, they were rare, expensive and normally just owned by collectors and addictive gamers with a lot of money. They contained each game's histories, characters back histories and more.

"Wow!" She exclaimed. Even was her dream have one like that, besides she already knowing almost all the information she guessed had inside, from her years playing games. "Where did you got it?!"

"It was a gift, from my nanny in my last birthday."

"Wow, she should care a lot about you. It seems like new! But what this have to do with the girls?"

"In fact, it has everything to do with the curse. Better you read it from the beginning." He open it at a certain page that certainly wasn't the book's beginning. "I have school to go." Truffelio pointed the building just in front of them. "But you can read it and give me it back at exit time."

Crystal nodded and as he ran to the school she sat down on the sidewalk and began to read.

"I can't believe already passed another perfect year." Clarion said, all smiling, holding tight their parents' hands.

It was a beautiful night, like always in Niceland, but today was different, it was a beautiful night outside too, and through the open window, they could see the stars shining in the horizon.

"I just wished it wasn't with having to remember about what battle it was." Felix commented, with a sweet smile to his adoptive daughter and so at her twin, holding his other hand, but James was unusually quiet, staring attent to the candles sparks.

So was it, two years had passed since the Sugar Rush Battle. The battle that had reunited them for the first time and after what they haven't been apart.

Well, Clarion and James weren't part of the battle, but the party was celebrated for them too, they were part of the family now.

"Oh, c'mon, it has been fun." Vanellope laughed, between Tamora and Ralph.

"And we'll have another years like this." Ralph smiled to his little friend.
During that two years they had a lot of battles. Kitty, Ganondorf, The Labyrinth of Nightmares and Turbo seemed always come back to an aftermath.

They looked around towards the Nicelanders and all their other friends and, together, the six of them turned off the candles on the cake.

That exactly moment all the other lights on the penthouse turned off too, good part of the characters on there runned to near the group. The bravest ones immediately turned to the door, preparing themselves for a battle against whatever was coming.

So a burst of shadows happened on the center of the penthouse and Turbo materialized himself from it.

"Having a party without invite the friends?" He joked to the group in front of him with an evil grin.

"You!" Clarion exclaimed angry, materializing a blue light saber on her hand. "How many times we'll need to kill you?" Her blue eyes flashed angrily, but James put a calming hand on his sister's shoulder.

"What you want here?" He asked firmly but still gentle as he always sounded.

"Oh, don't worry, I don't came to ruin your little party." Turbo's eyes darted towards the four behind the twins. "Two years, am I right? Two years since the first time we had a battle, no? I don't know why are you so angry? Should thanks me, because without it you wouldn't have all you have now."

"Wasn't you who said you should thank me, but would be more fun to kill me?" Ralph replied. "Same here."

Clarion and Vanellope giggled.

"Ha, you got me." Turbo smirked, "I like your sense of humor, Ralph. But lt's put the jokes aside and talk about what I know really interest us. Why I'm here." Turbo's Tone turned serious. I'll let you all celebrate this day, but don't think it will last so long. Soon, all this, everything you all love and care, will be taken from you forever. And so the victory will be mine, I'll be the last to laugh while I watch your happiness being destroyed."

"Why are you telling us it if you know we'll stop you?" Clarion raised an eyebrow at him with a smirk.

"Oh, I would really love see you trying." Turbo smirked back, before vanishing in shadows.

The lights turned on again and the music began to play again. But now everyone was too shocked or scared to party. The Arcade Warriors, like they were called now, shared worried looks. James stared at his twin.

"Clar, tell me it was one of your pranks!" He asked.

"Not this time Jay. But you want me to be sincere? We don't need to worry. We'll take care of this like we even did." The girl assured.

"So, like the history?" A sudden voice brough Crystal back to the reality.

The blonde teen looked up to see Sara and Penelope standing in front of her, both with funny smiles.

"What you want?" Crystal closed the book, looking angry at the two girls. "How dare you to come talk with me after yesterday? I got arrested because of you two!" She shouted.

"In fact we came here to say we're really sorry for that." The raven-haired girl said apologizing. Crystal supposed that was Penelope.

"Yeah, you shouldn't have followed us, but I think it was the more you could do after we stole your money." The other girl, Sara, replied looking down a little ashamed. "But, about the book... What about it?"

"It's really a children's book?" the blonde girl asked in surprise. "Sounds really cool, but it's a little too sinister to a fairy tale."

Sara rolled her eyes and laughed.

"Truff believes it's real, that we're all game characters, cursed by this Turbo guy."

"So, he believes you're this Clarion girl?" Crystal asked, she remembered Penelope had called her friend Clar the night before. She opened the book back and analyzed the picture of the group in the party. "Really looks like you."

I was true, Sara and Clarion were very looked alike, except Sara's hair was cut short, while Clarion's was long and covered in sugar and of course their clothing were different.

And now paying attention, Penelope looked a lot like Vanellope, but more human and less chubby, also with a different hair cut, no candy on it and different clothing.

And since she was paying attention now, she understanded why the two girls called sheriff Reynald, Calhoun, the woman was totally looked alike Hero's Duty's sergeant.

And had a curious thing on that history. The characters, Felix, Ralph, Vanellope, Calhoun, the Nicelanders and even Turbo were real game characters, she knew them very well, had already played the games many times, but she never heard from Clarion and James in any game, and Turbo was good guy racer, not an evil wizard. just could be that stupid fairy tales to mess up things she even took serious.

"I think it's because of it." Penelope admited.

"We pretend to believe to don't hurt him." Sara explained. "But it's all stupidness. But the histories are cool. You already saw the curse part?"

"No, I was still on the party."

"You need to read it late, but now we're inviting you to go for a icecream." The redhead closed the book smiling.

"Hold on a little." Crystal stoped her. "If you two are so wanted on this city, how you two can walk around during day like this?"

"No one really know us. The just know two little girls cause mess around, but they never saw us like we really are." Penelope explained.

"We use masks and clothes special for the missions." Sara added. "But we just do what we need, not random crimes just to annoy people or because we want. Only the money, food or things we really need."

"I know what 's being an orphan outcast, but at least I hadn't to steal to survive." Crystal sighed. "But how about the money?"

Sara smirked.

"Let me say you're paying for us."

Well, the end. I was going to include some more scenes on this chapter but it's already geting long, but I'll continue it soon.
