Chapter 5: Promises Made
After Tamora talked to Wreck-It Ralph, her mind was buzzing with questions. According to him at one time Felix and Felicia were extremely close. Then something happened to make them not talk to each other for awhile. Yet, according to Felix, he assured her that he and Felicia were just good friends. His exact words were that he saw Felicia as a kid sister and to Felicia, he was like her big brother. But she kept getting this odd feeling that Felix was hiding something from her about Felicia. Since she didn't know much about racing games or their players, she went to someone who would have information.
President Vanellope was adding an extra layer of frosting getting her car ready for another big race. She was about to hop in her car to take it for a joy ride when a familiar shadow fell over her. "Hey Sergeant Yells A lot what brings you here? According to Hammer Head you and him were supposed to take this Labor Day weekend easy," the girl said with an impish grin.
"Hello Vanellope, I am here because I need your help with something," Tamora said gently but firmly.
"What do you need is Stink Brain okay? What about Hammer Head?" Vanellope asked her face growing serious with a hint of worry in her eyes.
"Wreck-It is fine but I don't know about Felix that is why I am here. Do you know anything about other racing games and characters?" Tamora asked getting to the young girl's level.
"Sure I do after I was able to leave my game I made a book about all racing games and characters. Thought it would be useful to see obstacles and how other racers race but if we use any ideas we always ask the other races first. Just give me a second," the tiny President said. Grabbing a gold whistle from her hoodie she blew hard into it and in a flash a small green sour ball came rushing up to them. He wore an odd purple looking hat with odd matching pants.
"Yes, President Vanellope?" the sour ball asked politely.
"Sour Bill I need to see the book," Vanellope asked sweetly. Sour Bill let out a small groan but raced off to get the book and came back with an enormous gray book bigger than any encyclopedia.
"Wh-what ga-game d-did yo-you wa-nt to see," Sour Bill huffed clearly out of breath.
"What is the game called?" Vanellope asked addressing Tamora.
"Uh R.U.S.H, I believe," Tamora told her. Sour Bill began to flip through the massive book and came to the game of R.U.S.H.
"Okay what do you want to know about the game?" Sour Bill asked.
"Look up a character known as Fast Felicia," Tamora said and Vanellope nodded her head and Sour Bill looked up Fast Felicia.
"Okay it says she is the fastest racer in the game. Usually rides a black motorcycle but does like cars. A huge flirt with the guys loves to drink beer, play pool, and going fast. She only knows two speeds fast and faster. Has an attitude but apparently is the hero and knows how to handle herself and I think that is about it," Sour Bill said. Tamora bit her lip wondering how a sweet guy like Felix knew a girl like Felicia.
"Thanks guys, you both were a big help. Um I don't suppose you two know where the game of R.U.S.H is?" she asked looking down at them.
"Yeah go outside our game and turn right and there is the game of R.U.S.H" Vanellope told her. "But wait you never said if Hammer Head was okay," she reminded her.
"Well I think this Fast Felicia is trying to take Felix from me. Apparently Ralph told me they had some history together and I plan on finding out what relationship it truly was," Tamora said firmly.
"What did Hammer Head say?" Vanellope asked.
"He said that he saw Felicia as a kid sister and that she saw him as her big brother and that they were just good friends," Tamora answered.
"Then don't worry Hammer Head is nuts about you," Vanellope assured her.
"Yeah thanks kid see you later," Tamora said and Vanellope waved goodbye and Sour Bill dragged the book back to the castle. Once she was out of Sugar Rush she decided to go to R.U.S.H. Tamora felt bad for spying on Felix but she just had to know if she had any competition and if she did then she would blow Felicia's head off. Going through the gate way she saw herself standing on a deserted street with trash littered everywhere. Graffiti on the walls and her attention was drawn to a gray building with what looked like a devil smoking a cigarette and drinking beer. Poking her head through the smoky atmosphere her attention quickly locked in on Felix and she was shocked at what she saw.
He was on the bar dancing with Felicia. Well Felicia was doing most of the dancing and Felix was mostly clapping his hands to the music. Felicia had all the guys whistling at her as she dipped low and grabbed Felix's hand and spun him around. Tamora growled at this and watched as the music ended Felicia tossed Felix in the air and he did a flip and landed in her arms. They both smiled at each other as the song ended and the crowd cheered loudly. Leaving quickly Tamora went to her game for some practice shooting for some odd reason she wanted to shoot something.
"Well that was fun but I better get home. I promised Tammy I would be home at two and it is one. And I want to get her some flowers since I didn't get to spend much time with her," Felix said frowning.
"Okay want me to give you a lift?" Felicia asked.
"No it is okay I will be back later tonight to help you train that is if Tammy will be okay with it," Felix said.
"If not you could always sneak out," Felicia said slyly. "Just kidding bro, but be careful and I will see you later tonight," she said and went over to the record player and picked another song. Felix walked on home and headed to a flower shop. Back in Hero's Duty Tamora was blasting fake cy-bugs pretending they were Felicia's face.
"Damn, biker slut trying to steal my man. I will show her," Tamora hissed angrily as she shot her gun. The image of Felix in Felicia's arms brought tears to her eyes. Made her want to scream and pull the raven haired girl's hair out. But this was Felix surely he wouldn't cheat on her would he?
"Uh Sarge, are you okay?" asked a man named Derrick. He had dark skin with curly brown hair and deep hazel eyes. He wore a battle suit that showed off his muscles and he was taller than Sarge by a foot.
"Yes, soldier why do you ask?" Tamora growled continuing to shoot.
"Because you are shooting a gun that ran out of bullets five minutes ago," he told her nervously.
"Oh I uh knew," she replied quickly. Looking at the clock it was about 1:30 and she had to get home since Felix said he would be back at two. "Good day soldier," she added and left the area.
"Good day Sagre," Derrick said frowning and wondered what was making Sarge so angry. The last time he saw her like this was when Brad Scott was killed on her wedding day. Tamora made it home and quickly changed into some normal clothes just as Felix walked in.
"Honey I am home," he called cheerfully. "And I brought you something," he said handing her some yellow flowers and kissed her cheek.
"How did your visit with Felicia go?" she asked biting her lip.
"Just fine, we talked and someone made her mad so she asked me to dance with her. Was that okay because I honestly didn't know for you danced with your soldiers so I thought it was okay. But if you are uncomfortable with it I won't do it again promise," he said taking his hat off and his cheeks growing red. Tamora couldn't help but smile for he looked so cute and realized Felix would never cheat on her. Scooping him up in her arms she planted sweet kisses along his neck and cheek finally getting to his lips.
"It is okay Fix-It I trust you," she said sweetly.
"Good because Felicia wants me to help her train for a big race after Labor Day and I promised I would help her. Do you mind Honey Glows?" he asked. He wanted to tell her all of it but was afraid for her safety. He could handle Skull and his bullies but he couldn't handle losing her.
"I guess so," Tamora said frowning slightly. She wanted to say hell no and hold onto Felix as tight as she could so he couldn't get away. But she did trust him for she did stuff that would test any husband's trust and Felix never doubted her.
"Okay but I have to go help her later tonight but I will be back before eleven okay sweetie," he said growing nervous.
Now she didn't like this idea at all but Felix was a man of his word. If he promised Felicia that he would help her then he had too. Still Tamora didn't trust Felicia at all but what could she do? "Okay but till then I get you all to myself," she purred wanting nothing more than to be with him.
Felix grew even redder as he said," Ma'am yes ma'am" and kissed her lips. During the kiss an idea came to Tamora she would pay Fast Felicia a little visit and see for herself if this little biker girl was truly after her Felix and if so Tamora would make Felicia regret ever being coded.
