Princess and the Pumpkin Ch. 7
Date
"You're no help!" Vanellope barked at Candlehead. Vanellope was getting ready for her so called "date" with Gloyd, and to be honest, she was freaking out. "Sorry, president" Candlehead apologized "maybe if a pull this out". With that she yanked out Vanellope's twizzler hair ribbon revealing her true hair style. It flowed down into perfectly bouncy curled bangs with landed on her shoulders. "I didn't even know my hair was like that" Vanellope said, stunned by how good she looked right about now. All the girls in the room were amazed how their president was able maintain such perfect hair in the first place. "Are you just going to stand there or are you girls going to help me get ready?" Vanellope said, breaking the silence. The worked until they got it perfect. And not a moment too soon, because at that moment a car horn could be heard outside.
Gloyd had changed out of his original attire. He was now sporting a navy blue tux and a golden tie. He even had removed his signature hat for the night as well. As soon as he knocked on the door Vanellope came rushed out, running into the poor boy. She pulled herself together was glithing from a combination of excitement and worry. When Gloyd got back up, he was, at the very least mesmerized. Vanellope had her new hairstyle on with silver glitter in it. She was a wearing a long, light green, satin dress, adorned with sparkles every which way. She also had on ruby heels, which made her slightly taller than him.
"You look great tonight Gloyd" Vanellope said, trying to break the boy out of his silence. Blushing once again Gloyd replied "so do you". Gloyd was walking her over to her kart when she stopped him. "My karts in the shop, Ralph had an incident with it earlier" Vanellope lied, knowing he would let her bunk with him. "Okay, then how do we suppose we get around" Gloyd asked. "I know" Vanellope said as she walked over to his kart "get in". Gloyd agreed and hopped into the candy corn kart. Then Vanellope jumps in, landing straight on his lap and buckling them in.
Before he could protest, she gave him a sad look, and he reluctantly agreed. He did to an extent enjoy it, but felt just a little odd. He started up the car and drove off. Vanellope asked to head into game central station. He parked the car outside the winding rainbow road and got out, holding Vanellope bridal style. She hopped down and ran into the central, with Gloyd on her heels.
They headed towards the new restaurant the Sonic had opened, Sonic rush. They got in and sat down. They chatted for a while until they heard and angry screech and sonic flying across the room, landing face-first straight into their food. Gloyd was hysterical, he couldn't stop laughing. Vanellope on the other hand was worried that this could start an unfortunate series of events, which would ruin, which was to her, the most important night ever. Sonic got of the pizza they had ordered, apologized and offered to get a new one.
The night was filled with disaster after disaster. First, a Pikachu comes out of nowhere and just stared at them, making it very uncomfortable. Then Kirby, while being dared by Knuckles, accidentally suck up their pizza, and Gloyd too. Then, Calhoun's soldiers accidently shoot Vanellope's tiara right off her head. She never wore the thing, but did so for Gloyd's sake. Then Bowser nearly roosts Gloyd after a spicy burrito. And finally, they were almost trampled when a fight broke out between Shadow and Link.
Vanellope was furious. Gloyd saw the anger in her eyes and was going to try his best to calm her down. "Vanellope, you okay?" Gloyd asked. "No I'm not!" Vanellope barked back, instantly regretting it "it's just I wanted it to be perfect, but instead everything in ruined, and now you're going to dump me". Gloyd was surprised. He had always though that after she became president, she would be more confident. Yet she was upset and depressed like when she was considered the glitch. "Look Vanellope" Gloyd started "it wasn't that bad, in fact it was pretty nice considering I was with you the whole night". Vanellope was elated by his words and pulled him into a long, passionate kiss. Gloyd still wasn't used to it and nearly passed out.
Gloyd walking the president back to the castle, and said goodnight. Vanellope kissed him once more and headed in. She was then confronted by her peers. "Tell us everything" Taffayta demanded.
