Princess and the Pumpkin Ch. 2
Fishing, parties, and swim trunks
By 5:30 the party was in full swing. Nearly every character in the arcade was there. Mario and Luigi were chilling by the hut while Sonic and Shadow were in a dance battle. Even Ralph was having fun, you know once he got around the fact he was nearly breaking every part of the decorations. All of the Sugar Rush characters were swimming in the water, with the occasional "ewe!" from Taffayta every time something brushed against her leg. The music was loud and Kirby was producing as much food as possible to keep up with the demand of all the hungry customers.
After a while, most of the party goers have fizzled out. This left Vanellope, Ralph, and the rest of the Sugar Rush characters. Most of the time during the party, Vanellope couldn't help but stare at Gloyd as he played in the water. She stayed in that trance for who knows how long. She was only broken when everyone heard a huge scream and raucous laughter coming from one end of the beach.
Vanellope looked over to find a bright red Rancis with only his head above the ground with Taffayta laughing her brain out. Word spread quickly of what had just occurred. Vanellope looked over to her right to see Gloyd with a fishing rod and at the other end was Rancis' swim trunks. Gloyd must have fished out Rancis' trunks when he wasn't looking. As soon as everyone found out they couldn't help but bursting out in laughter. Rancis was never good with humiliation, so he had to end this. He quickly wrapped a large piece of floating kelp nearby and ran as fast as he could at the prankster. Gloyd took off like a rocket, laughing maniacally as he jumped out of the water and started to run from the peeved peanut butter boy. Vanellope kept staring at Gloyd as he ran around the beach. She couldn't help but stay in a trance. She stayed like this until a large figure pressed her head into the water. She shot herself up out of the water, gasping as she turned to her attacker. It turned out to be Ralph. "Hey you ok kid" Ralph said looking concerned. "Yeah" Vanellope weakly replied. Ralph knew that something was up and didn't want to see her upset, so he had to press on. "Does it have anything to do with that boy in the pumpkin hat…. Gloyd I think it is" Ralph questioned. "NO!" Vanellope said a little too quickly. Ralph knew something was off, but he knew that she would tell him if something was wrong. After about 9, the racers have mostly dispersed. Gloyd finally gave Rancis back his pants after a while. Vanellope drove home pretty slowly on her way back home. "What is wrong with me" she thought to herself "do I like Gloyd, no that can't…, he is…, I am…., there can't be…, oh I can't deny it anymore, I should take the night to think about it". She got back to her castle and she knew she had a lot to think about that night.
