Finale

"Shhh! SHHH! We have to get in before anyone notices us!"

"As if I didn't figure that out!"

It was nearing three in the morning as Mary and Gene slipped their way into Niceland, trying to be as discrete as they could, a hard thing to do when even their tip-toeing made little pings and pops as they hopped along.

"Ow!"

"You're eye okay?" asked Mary in concern.

"D-Don't worry about me dear!" the mayor grimaced "Let's just get you into bed before-GAH!"

The Nicelander let out a cry as he ran into another body, both he and the mysterious figure going down. The mayor groaned as he rolled over on his side, putting his hand to his head.

"Okay, who's blocking the way?"

"Relax, Genie…" came another voice, sounding just as tired as he was.

"Dee-Dee?"

Deanna picked herself up and adjusted her glasses "Who else?"

The mayor was relieved, not only glad to see that the others were making their way back to the apartment but that he and Mary weren't the only ones trying to sneak in. Of course, with this knowledge, Gene used it to play the part of stuffy mayor once more, walking right up to Deanna and giving her an angry look.

"You guys! You have NO idea what trouble Mary and I went through looking for you!" the mayor scolded "And what happened to Felix?! When we got out of here earlier, he was nowhere to be found!"

"Trust me, he WAS fine when we left…." Lucy chuckled from behind the mayor. Gene turned, seeing Tony and Lucy walking up, the younger of the two smiling from ear to ear "Well, I sure did have fun!"

"Blugfhr, YOU!" growled Don, stumbling his way over to Lucy "YOU'RE the reason I feel like crap now! I promised you when we got home I was gonna throw your butt in a closet and now-!"

"An' NOW, its time for you to rest…." Meg said sadly, pulling the man back "Don, you're a wreck. Whatever trouble you have with Lucy, let's try to sort it out AFTER work, alright?"

Don prepared to say something but the painful wave of nausea hit him again. His face paled as he slumped over Meg, the smaller woman crying out as she was unable to hold up against his weight.

"O-okay! That sounds like a -OOOAARUGH!" the man moaned sickly "I feel like I'm gonna vomit again…."

"Don't do it on me!" Meg said, jumping out of the way, only causing Don to fall on his face.

"And everyone else?" asked Mary "Where are they?"

"We're here…" said Nolan, the others following after him "Well, we can say that this was an exciting weekend!"

"One that I don't want to repeat!" Gene huffed, crossing his arms "Is it just me or ever since Ralph game-jumped have things gotten more hectic here!"

"I won't complain. I like the excitement!" smiled Lucy.

"Dear, we are going to have us a talk…" Mary said "A nice LONG talk."

Gene turned towards the apartments, noticing that the only lights that were on were those of Nel's apartment, everyone else's dark.

"Say, you mean Felix isn't back yet?"

"He's NOT?" said Tony "Ya'd think he'd come back to wait for us so what-?"

"This is HUMILIATING!" screeched an unfamiliar voice in the distance.

"Speak for yourself! At least you two look halfway decent!" said a second.

"WHAT!? LOOK AT ME! I LOOK LIKE-!" roared the third, its squeaky anger echoing throughout the entire front end of the game.

The Nicelanders all turned, seeing three figures approaching them from the distance, seemingly unaware of the tiny people before them. At first, the Nicelanders were afraid that several people they had disturbed during the day were coming back for a bit of repayment but as they got closer….

"Oh my…PROGRAMMERS!"

The three figures stopped in their tracks, their eyes meeting the Nicelanders.

Everything was still, everything was silent.

No one could say a word and how could they?

Before the Nicelanders stood Ralph, Felix, and Calhoun.

And all three of them had been BLISSED.

"FELIX?!"

Felix looked away in pure humiliation as his cheeks burned bright, his usual work attire replaced with a silly little blue dress and a beret, his new feminine features just as outlandish as his attire.

Big blue eyes that were twenty percent brighter!

Cheeks redder than a rose!

Short brown hair that ended in perfect little curls!

Blue! So much powder blue!

So say that a BLISSED Felix wasn't a sight to behold….

Ralph didn't fare any better, the HUGE man translating to a HUGE woman, HER hair styled in red pigtails that jutted from each side of his head, her overalls replaced with a tattered dress and both the nails on his fingers and toes slathered with the most outlandish shade of pink nail lacquer.

But Calhoun.

Out of everyone there, CALHOUN had gotten it the WORST.

Not only had she been Blissed into a dress….she had been Blissed into a NICELANDER.

The true Nicelanders stood stunned before the lot of them, Gene clearly trying to hold back his laughter but failing as he bit his lip, his face gradually turning red and a smile fighting its way on his face.

"You have GOT to be kiddin' me…." said Lucy.

"D-Don't think you're getting off scott-free!" said Calhoun, her voice HIGHER pitched than normal.

That was it. THAT was the thing that sent Gene off.

"PPPPPPPFT-HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA!"

The mayor was overcome with laughter as he stepped back, his sides aching "N-NO! PLEASE! THIS CAN'T BE REAL!"

"So…Demitri?" asked Mary.

"Demitri…" the three others said, not sure who to be angrier at; the vampire or the mayor who was still laughing.

"Okay, okay. That's enough chunky-butt!" Mary glared as she pinched Gene on his nose.

"NYAGH!"

"So, how long did he say THIS would last?"

"Does it really matter?" growled Calhoun, her chubby cheeks puffing out adorably "Spending FIVE minutes like this is punishment enough! No offense…"

Gene snorted again as he wriggled himself free from his fiancé's hold, Calhoun's voice too much for him.

"I-I'm sorry, young lady b-b-but I- PFFTAHAHAHHA!"

"Gene, you butt!" Mary growled, kicking Gene in his rear "You keep this up and it's no Burger Time for a week!"

"But it's WORTH it!"

"A MONTH THEN!"

"A-aw, c-come on! I just HHAHAHHAHAHAHAH!" Gene turned and ran as fast as he could, his laughter echoing throughout the entire game

"COME BACK HERE, FAT BOY!" Mary yelled, going after her fiancé, tackling him on the ground just as he was an inch from the entrance.

Ralph rubbed HER temples, groaning in anger "I'm glad that Vanellope isn't around to see this. We'd never hear the end if she-!"

"Hey Stink-Breath!" called a familiar voice "I heard there was somethin' wrong here! Should I-?"

"Aw crap…."

"Mmmmm, Norwood?" sighed Nel, turning over towards the red-head next to her in bed.

"Yeah?" yawned the man.

The small Nicelander pulled her bangs from her eyes, looking at both up and down. She smirked, as she pulled the man's cheek "Looks like ya've gone from 'Annoying Butt with Some Height' back down to 'Annoying Butt that's Shaped Like a Ball'!"

Norwood pulled Nel closer, kissing her on the forehead. He could care less what he or his love looked like; he had just had the BEST day ever in his opinion.

"Baby, as long as I'm YOUR annoying butt, then I'm okay with it!"

"Hey, isn't it funny that everyone is gonna get in trouble because they locked Felix in a closet an' left….an' we won't because we stayed here an' made out all day?"

"See. If this day has taught us anythin' Nel, it's that sex is wonderful an' will keep ya outta trouble!"
