Yet another Ralph's Trip to Reality Prologue?!
Yes. The all-sappy, beloved and ever-so emotional VanillaButter fan fic is back. By the way, this is set two days after my last VanillaButter fan fic.
"Looks like someone's got the Honey-Glows!" Fix-it Felix J.r laughed, glancing over at the peanut butter-themed boy.
Rancis rolled his eyes playfully: "Whatever Felix. If you were to know Vanellope, you'd be 'Honey-Glowing' the rest of your life!"
Felix chuckled: "Well, I already got my Dynamite Gal here!" Felix said, putting his arm around Sergeant Calhoun, (wow, that's the first time Calhoun's made an appearance in any of my fan fics…) who just scoffed and ordered another root beer from Tapper.
Tapper's bar was a fun place for video game characters around the entire arcade. It had food, drinks, and an over-all good atmosphere.
"Oh!" said Felix "Here comes Ralph!"
Rancis froze: "Ralph!" he thought "He's gonna kill me!"
Wreck-it Ralph plopped onto the seat next to the Sugar Rush racer. Rancis's breathing quickened: "Oh my gobstopper, oh my gobstopper, oh my gobstopper!" he thought to himself "How did I not assume Ralph was going to be here too!"
"Hi, Rancis." Ralph growled.
Rancis put on a straight face "Hello, Ralph." He replied plainly, trying not to show any sort of fear.
"Yeah, whatever." Ralph huffed. "You'd better make this fun for Vanell—"
"Anyways!" Felix interrupted "Let's have a good time together! Remember, we're welcoming back all of the explorers from their trip to the Human World, we have to make this party worth it to them."
Rancis nodded in agreement with Felix and they set off to decorating Tappers. All of the other videogame characters helped too, excited for the arrival of their fellow neighbors and friends.
Rancis was setting up the balloons when a shrill scream tore through the air. He spun around in shock and saw Vanellope's secretary; Julie Goldentile bust through the doors of the bar.
Julie was slender with fair skin and chocolate-colored hair that fell beautifully over her shoulders. Her big dark blue eyes would have just about anyone's heart melt, not to mention with her winning smile with perfectly white teeth.
Rancis knew her to be especially calm—but definitely not today. Julie panted like a dog that just ran five miles, and her expression was pure fright.
"RANCIS! COME TO THE CASTLE, RIGHT NOW!" She shouted, and then darted off.
He glanced back at the crowd of worried videogame characters and sighed: "Sorry guys, gotta go."
….
Rancis burst into the castle, where Julie and Sour Bill were waiting.
"Sit down; we have to tell you something, important." Sour Bill said in his monotonous voice.
Rancis slowly placed himself in one of the candy-made chairs and Julie smiled at him—as if she wanted something from him and was trying to soften him up. Behind Sour Bill and Julie's chairs, was a small audience of (not so very happy) Sugar Rush employees.
"Oh gosh. What happened?" Rancis asked.
Sour Bill gulped and gestured to Julie to explain.
"Well, long story short—Vanellope's gone missing. And we have absolutely no idea where she is."
The color drained from Rancis's face: "What?!"
Julie shook her head: "She's gone, lost, or dead."
"WHO'S GONNA SIGN MY PAYCHECK?!" One of the muffin nurses shouted.
"I don't understand, what do you want me to do?!" Rancis replied, he felt like the entire room was spinning.
"You know that you have to take over, right? Until we have an election or something like that—or vote you into office. Whatever happens. But you have to take over Sugar Rush until we do something about President Vanellope's disappearance."
"H-how do you know Vanellope's dead?!" Rancis asked
"We just assumed, anyways, your president now. Good luck." Sour Bill stated and he started walking over to the door.
"Wait! Sour Bill! I have no idea how to—"
The little green cough drop slammed the door and the Sugar Rush employee's slowly went back to doing their jobs—leaving Rancis and Julie alone in the main room of Vanellope's castle.
Julie scooted her chair over to Rancis and placed her hand on top of his and laced her fingers through. Rancis's face turned bright red as he gazed up and met her seductive sea-blue eyes, her smile was now somewhere between ecstasy and insanity. (That's kind of creepy.)
"Oh, Rancis…Whatever will you do?" she said, as if she was rehearsing a line in a play.
"I-I don't know..." his voice faltered as he sank back into the candy chair.
"Julie! We need you!" one of the doughnut cops yelled from outside.
The girl rolled her eyes but didn't seem angry at all. She gave Rancis a quick kiss on the lips and whispered: "I don't know—but I think I'd make a great First Lady.", then strode off to meet them outside.
The young boy's eyes widened as he tried to comprehend what had happened to him in less than ten minutes; first, Ralph showed up unexpectedly at Tappers, then, he was informed that the president was—probably—dead, third, he was put into office, and now his secretary wanted to hook up with him?!
Rancis shook his head in disbelief: "how could this all happen?" he thought
His eyelids started drooping and his face was wet with tears; but he managed to get to his special bedroom in the upstairs of the castle, next to Vanellope's bedroom.
Usually he never used it, considering he had his own house. But on rare occasions he liked to be able to be close to her when he felt lonely. But that didn't matter anymore; Vanellope was dead—in the Human World. Rancis would never be able to see her dazzling hazel eyes, or her heartwarming smile, or her sense of humor that could lighten up even the worst days ever again.
Rancis hugged his pillow tighter and salty tears streaked down his face in the dim light of the room. He glanced up and saw a picture of Vanellope and him standing in front of his race car RV1 inside of a beautiful baby-blue colored picture frame. He glared at it and slapped the frame onto the ground—causing the glass to shatter.
"Why did you have to leave?!" he shouted, not knowing that he had said it out loud "Couldn't you have at least said goodbye?!" Rancis buried his face into the pillow and sobbed until he drifted off to sleep.
….
Rancis awoke to someone pounding on his door. His face was still wet from last night: "Great." He thought as he went to answer the door. Sour Bill stood in the light of the doorway and Rancis had to crank his head down just to meet his gaze. "Hi Sour Bill" Rancis sniffled.
The little green candy noticed the broken picture frame behind the racer: "What's that?" he asked.
"N-nothing, I think it tipped over during the night." He lied—but his voice quivered and sounded stuffy.
"Are you okay?" Sour Bill questioned
Rancis decided to tell him the truth: "No. Nothing's okay. Everything's gone horribly wrong; in a matter of hours my entire life has changed!"
Sour Bill sighed: "I know the whole 'Vanellope disappearance' thing is hard, but well find her, eventually…"he replied, but didn't sound confident " In the meantime, you should get some rest, you don't look so good."
"But what about the Roster Race?" Rancis mentioned
"Julie and I will take care of everything. Just rest."
Rancis shuttered at Sour Bill's reference of Sugar Rush's secretary, but eventually went back to bed.
"Oh, and by the way." Sour Bill said
"What is it?"
"They'll be sending search parties out to look for her; I think you're on one of them."
-That was a short ending. But you get the point. And now that I just read it over again, it's kind of confusing too… I'm getting tired and this is all I have to give…for now. There may or may not be YET ANOTHER VanillaButter fanfic. But I think it won't be based on RTTR (ralphs trip to reality). Maybe…maybe.
