Princess and the Pumpkin Ch. 4
Guy's night out
While Vanellope and the rest of the girls were having their sleepover, the rest of the kingdom was silent. VROOM, VROOM! Except for the roar of three race cars, flying over a nearby hill. Gloyd, Rancis and Swizzle were hosting their biweekly race around the kingdom. Rancis had pulled ahead and was on the final stretch, Cola Mountain. Just then, an ice cream rocket appeared from nowhere, smashing into Rancis' car. "Oh, ale mode!" Gloyd shouted as he passed him, replacing the announcer who would normally do that. Then he revved the engine and passed the finish line, taking first place. "Ha, looks like I win again, chocolate breath!" Gloyd teased he hopped out his car to pry the poor boy out of the cone. "Your worse than Vanellope" Rancis complained "you won by sheer luck, that's all". "Yeah, true talk of a loser!" Gloyd shouted as he walked around chanting his name in the air as Swizzle caught up with them.
"What do you guys want to do know?" Swizzle questioned "that only took half the time we normally do". "I don't know, Gloyd do you…." Rancis began before he noticed his phone ringing "oh it's Taffayta". He picked up the phone and began to talk to the lollipop girl. After they had reached home Rancis was still on the phone and turning a new emotion every minute. Then abruptly he stopped and put the phone on the ground.
"She said to put the phone on speaker" Rancis said as he pressed the little button. "Hi guys!" Candlehead was heard over the phone. "Hey girls" Gloyd replied. "You'll never guess what Vanellope's secret is" Taffayta said. "Don't you dare!" the president could be overheard shouting at her. The phone had clearly been fought over based on the struggling sounds before they could here Taffayta's voice again. "Vanellope…. has…. A crush….with…Gloyd!" At this you could hear screaming and almost the chucking of a barstool.
If eyes could pop out, Gloyd's would be rolling all over the floor. He began to stammer and then started to rethink what that meant. "Well she does stare at you…. A lot" Swizzle commented. "And she does hang out with you a lot" Rancis pointing out, a smirk beginning to form on his face. Gloyd started to feel his cheeks burn up, nut he couldn't figure out why. "So what?" Gloyd defended, trying to get them off his back. Swizzle and Rancis noticed his cheeks and nearly passed out laughing at what they said next.
"You're in love with her back don't you!" they both said at the same time. "And if I did?" Gloyd pointed out "I don't really matter" "The gigantic blush on your face says otherwise" Swizzle pointed out. "No, it's just really cold in here that's all" Gloyd said back. "Its 82 degrees in here" Rancis sarcastically pointed out. "Don't start with me Rancis" Gloyd "besides you can't tell that Taffayta almost repainted her kart because she's madly in love with you". Rancis nearly passed out when he heard that and Swizzle started laughing. They all went to sleep that night, wondering about today's events.
What they didn't notice is that the phone was still on and the girls had heard every word they said. A collective "Whoa" was all they could muster after that display.
