A.N. Another character will be introduced here, this time an OC of mine who was based on an actual character Pixar fans might recognize.

More time passed, and Christmas Eve arrived. Vanellope hosted another party so that Racers and other citizens could exchange presents. Christmas Day was kinda 'family only', though friends were still allowed to visit each other.

"Joyeux Noël ma belle princesse." Graham gave Crumbelina a box.

"Joyeux Noël." Crumbelina smiled back.

"Open it." Graham smiled. "Go ahead."

Crumbelina hesitated, but did...to reveal a beautiful necklace made up of small gold and diamond hearts.

"Oh Graham..." Crumbelina breathed. "I...it's beautiful."

"Not as belle as you." Graham kissed her hand. "I wanted you to open it now because I want to see you wear it tonight."

Crumbelina smiled and let Graham put it on her.

"Parfait." He smiled.

"It must've been expensive..." Crumbelina fingered the necklace awkwardly.

"Don't worry, remember I still have that part-time job in your favorite store." Graham smiled reassuringly. "I was able to save up more than enough."

Crumbelina smiled and kissed him on the cheek. She then gave him her present.

Other Racers exchanged presents too, except for Sourward and Citrusella. Sourward did give Citrusella her present, but she didn't give him hers.

"I was wondering if I could come over later tomorrow to give you yours." Citrusella said shyly. "It's...kinda private."

"Of course, I'm sure my parents won't mind." Sourward agreed even though he was a bit confused.

The next morning presents were opened. Vanellope ended up receiving a few touching presents: Reneult gave her a homemade medal that said 'Best Mom' on it, Ralph gave her a red hoodie that he made (without help from Felix but with help from Mary), and Candiel gave her a mint green tiara that read 'President' in the designed part. It was his way of telling her that even though she was now president she'll always be his little princess. Last year he gave her an enlarged version of the only princess gown she never minded wearing - a simple mint green one - so that she would have something nice to wear for very special occasions. So, now she had a full outfit (the gown was floor length so the shoes and leggings didn't matter).

Ralph got a 'Best Dad' medal from Reneult, a homemade crown from Vanellope that was decorated to match the candies in her hair plus had 'First-Man' written in the middle, and a red suit from Candiel. Vanellope made Ralph the crown because Candiel had told her that he was planning on having an suit made for Ralph that would allow him to look like a 'prince' whenever Vanellope had to wear her princess outfit. Vanellope wanted Ralph to have something to wear on his head so that his outfit would be complete.

Reneult also got a suit from Candiel, for the same reason, though no crown in his case. In that kingdom princes didn't get the crown until they inherited the throne and Reneult still wanted to wait. As for his other presents he got a white horse plushie from Vanellope. Even though she didn't mind having a pet she kinda felt sorry that he couldn't have one (he wanted a horse like her too) and so thought that a plushie version would be good enough. It was, Reneult loved it and named it Majestic Malt after his grandmother (and as a sort of reference to Black Beauty). From Ralph Reneult got a medal that said 'You're A Chocolate Chip of a Racer'. This was Ralph's way of telling Reneult that he didn't mind his not becoming a wrecker, and was proud of how good a Racer he had become. Luckily Ralph had mastered making cookies enough to make the medal without messing up.

They got good presents from the rest of the family and vice-versa, and the other characters got great presents as well, but if I listed them all then this might get slightly boring. So I'm going to merely state what Crumbelina gave Graham (to be fair) and then move on to Sourward and Citrusella.

Graham was very touched with Crumbelina's gift. She had given him a model of the Eiffel Tower and the Leaning Tower of Pisa connected together by the base. It was her way of saying that even though they came from different backgrounds they would always be one (Crumbelina had a little nobility in her background - which was one of the reasons why she had been so interested in marrying someone noble or royal - whereas Graham had none that he knew of).

Citrusella also was touched by Sourward's gift. It was a simple necklace save one detail: the pendant in the middle. The pendant was of a crystal lemon with a heart engraved into it. Citrusella loved it because she knew that it was Sourward's way of physically giving her his heart. Meaning he trusted her with his heart.

Citrusella ended up wearing it to Sourward's house despite it not matching one part of her outfit.

She rang the doorbell and Mrs. Lemonscan opened it.

"Hello Citrusella, come on it." She smiled.

"Thank you." Citrusella smiled back.

They then went into the living room where Sourward was waiting. He smiled upon seeing her...and upon seeing that she was wearing the necklace he gave her.

"I'm glad you like it." He said. "I know yellow's not your color but..."

"No, I don't like it. I love it." Citrusella smiled. "Now, before you open your present you'd best bring your laptop over."

While big company computers still used floppy disks laptops did exist (technology progressed in game worlds as well as the human world) and did require a flash-drive. Fortunately Matlow had the smarts to covert what was on a floppy disk into a flash-drive. And that's what was in the wrapped box Citrusella pulled out of her jacket.

Sourward was confused by Citrusella's request but did as she asked. As he took a couple minutes to get his laptop out of his room Citrusella talked a little with his parents, trying to hide her excitement.

"Here you go." Sourward said, turning his laptop on.

Once it came on...

"Okay, you can open it." Citrusella smiled.

Sourward did and found the flash-drive. He then understood Citrusella's previous request and plugged the flash-drive into his computer. He froze and his eyes widened as he saw the title of the file that came up.

"What came up son?" Mr. Lemonscan asked.

"P-Pre-Lemon...scan...Recipes..." Sourward stammered.

His parents dropped their mouths open. Mrs. Lemonscan put a hand to her mouth.

Sourward shakily opened the file and looked through the items. He opened one item and read it. Tears formed in his eyes and he started to sob a little.

"You...you risked danger...getting into trouble...all that just to...?" Sourward wiped an eye. "How did you ever...?"

"Some of my friends helped...I couldn't have done it without them actually." Citrusella blushed. "I did it for you Sourward, and they did it to help a friend and for justice. It just wasn't fair that the Sluggums were still profiting from your family's recipes after what Thembara had done to you. So, I deleted them from their factory computer and brought the altered versions to you as proof."

"So that's how...there was a report in the newspaper about the factory being robbed of a file but they thought that a cat burglar or someone like that did it." Mr. Lemonscan remembered. "But...it was actually you and your friends the whole time? You all risked imprisonment just...just to avenge our son?"

Citrusella nodded, blushing even more now.

Sourward was still sobbing, but he was smiling as well. He felt his whole body throb with love for Citrusella. He gently grabbed her and gave her a big, passionate kiss. Citrusella relaxed and let him, only returning the kiss a minute later.

Soon, obviously, it was January. Bodhivian had decided to play outside more to get used to the cold weather and to keep from getting sick again. So he, Adorabeezle, Swizzle, Adamec, Minty, and Sticky were hanging out around the ice cream mountains. Mostly they walked and had ice cream-ball fights and things like that, but they also had brought their snowboards for when they came cross choice slopes. Minty and Sticky had learned how to snowboard a while back from their boyfriends.

At one point Bodhivian zoomed on ahead, and then rested at the end to wait for his friends. He suddenly screamed, causing his friends to go even faster. When they caught up with him Adamec screamed too, his sparkler turning brown, but Minty, Sticky, Swizzle and Adorabeezle just chuckled.

There was an Abominable Snowball cake monster right in front of them.

"Relax guys, Abominable Snowballs are very friendly." Swizzle smiled. "In fact they're only called abominable because they're based on the legend of the Abominable Snowman."

"Hey John!" Adorbeezle waved. "Guys this is John, he's a good friend of mine."

"Hey there Adorabeezle!" John smiled. "Welcome to the land of the Abominable Snowballs! I know we're based on that legend but I really think our title should be changed you know? I mean seriously, why not Agreeable or Adorable even? We're nice creatures. Hey, how about I show you around?"

"Of course." Adorabeezle smiled. "Come on guys."

They all did, and ended up having a really good time. Later on John gave them some snowcones and Swizzle picked up a yellow one.

"Whoa Swizzle don't eat that!" Adamec panicked.

"Why not? It's just lemon." Swizzle looked at him confused.

"It...oh. I thought...nevermind." Adamec blushed, his sparkler turning red-brown.

Everyone else sniggered but got over it quickly to spare Adamec's feelings.
