Princess and the Pumpkin Ch. 6
Bonding and pranks
After their little accident, Vanellope and Gloyd started to hang out more often. They would hang around the castle, pull a prank, or sometimes head over into the other games. Gloyd would sometimes find himself staring at the president. Slowly, checking out her features. The way her hair was tied with a twizzler, the way she would laugh, and most importantly, how she smelled. He couldn't figure out why he loved the way she smell, he normally didn't take a liking to vanilla. He couldn't figure out why he was somewhat drawn to this girl. He decided if he hung out with her more, he would find the secret to this.
Vanellope noticed how the boy looked d at her. She loved it to say the least. She believed that this meant that he liked her too. Instead of asking him upfront, she decided after some advice from Calhoun to patiently wait and let him come to her. Today, they were planning yet another stunt.
"So we head and dump the chocolate here" Gloyd said finalizing the plan. They headed out but decided to walk to be silent to their victims. They arrived at Taffayta's house and set up the trap. "Finished" Gloyd whispered as he jumped down and opened a case with a red button in it "care to do the honors?" "I would love to" Vanellope smirked as she then flipped the switch. A small kart made its way through a track which hit a bag of flour, which activated a panel making a plane fly to Taffayta and drop a plié of chocolate on her. Then, the plane hit a button which activated a fan, which hit her with a wave of feathers, sticking to the chocolate. She was carried by two roller skates and ran over to the door only to hit a brick wall (provided by Ralph) painted like her front door. Finally she hit a trip wire, which splattered her with a pumpkin pie and snapped a picture of chicken Taffayta, sending it straight to Gloyd's phone. For the grand finale, one father falls to the ground igniting firecrackers which permantly burn her rug in the shape of a pumpkin saying "you've been poned!" "GLOYD!" Taffayta screeched. Gloyd and Vanellope ran to their awaiting karts as Vanellope took it one step further and posted the picture on her Facebook page.
"That was hilarious!" Vanellope told Gloyd laughing hysterically. "Yeah, let's get out of here before Rancis gets back and sees what we did to his girlfriend" Gloyd warned. They were going to get in Gloyd's cart but realized a problem, there was only one seat. "You could just hold on?" Gloyd said with a blush reforming on face. "Okay" Vanellope slowly agreed, the same blush appearing on her face. They got in the cart and Vanellope grabbed onto Gloyd's mid-section and purposely nuzzling her head on his back. Gloyd couldn't help but turn dark red as he turned out and drove off.
After begging on Vanellope's part, they stopped for a quick picnic. Vanellope quickly realized this was the same way her dreams always started. Instead of getting excited, she played it off and acted normal. Gloyd was unaware to his attraction to Vanellope. Even though he wanted to be nice to her before she was crowned president. He walked over to her, just finishing his chocolate bar, and put his on her shoulder.
"Hey Vanellope" Gloyd said, blushing again and turning away "the view from here is pretty great". "Alost as great as you" Vanellope whispered so he couldn't hear it, but he did. He instantly blushed once again and decided he was going to take a shot in the dark. "Hey Vanellope" Gloyd started, the nervousness damping his usual cocky demeanor "if you want to, maybe we could…. Hang out tomorrow after the races?" Vanellope was ecstatic, she finally had him. Not thinking, she pounced on the boy, giving him a huge kiss for almost a full minute. Still dazed from the kiss Gloyd drowsily responded "So is that a yes?" Vanellope shook her head and scudded up to the boy, placing he head on his chest and taking a deep sigh
