Meanwhile, Vanellope and Rancis were in the kitchen, hunting through Felix's fridge, looking for anything sweet.
"Let's see, there's lots of pie." Rancis said, pulling out two tins. One a marmalaid pie, the other apple.
"That's perfect." Vanellope was on the counter, pulling out a package from a cupboard. "Here's some sugar. Uncle Felix always has some ice cream. Can you find some?"
Rancis placed the two pies on the counter next to the raven girl before nodding, turning back and digging out a bin of multi-flavoured ice cream. He read the side, "Includes chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry."
"Great! Bring it here." Vanellope dropped the pack of sugar before pulling out a large bowl from the same cupboard. "We're gonna mix all this together!"
"You sure this will taste good?"
"Of course, Butterfingers! I mix stuff all the time! Now I'll be right back. Uncle Felix keeps candy like gummy worms and junk in the pantry and chocolate syrup. This is gonna taste really sweet!"
Rancis giggled as Vanellope lept off the counter top, skidding on her knees across the kitchen, whipping open two cupboards closer to the fridge which was the pantry.
"...Hey, Nellie?" Rancis asked.
Vanellope kept looking through the cupboard, "Yeah?"
"Do you think Ralph will let us date again?"
Vanellope found what she was looking for and hopped back up onto the counter. She placed the gummy worm-like candy with their other ingredients, as well as some chocolate syrup and sprinkles, "I don't know, Rancid. I wanna say yes, but that might not be true."
Rancis stood next to her on the counter, "If not... what should we do? I really love you, Vanellope. He just doesn't believe that!" he complained as he helped his crush open their ingredients.
"I know, I know. If he says no, then... we'll just do it behind his back. We won't even tell him!" she said as she started topping the pies with sugary sweets.
"I dunno, Vanny. Wouldn't you feel kinda guilty?"
She looked him in the eyes, "Let's just wait 'til we get there, Pretty Boy."
Rancis thought for a moment. Then he spoke up, "I wanna do this just in case though."
"Wh-"
Vanellope was interrupted when Rancis kissed her on the lips. He pulled away after a few moments.
Vanellope blushed and smiled, taking a few steps away to get some space.
However, when she did, her feet bumped into a few ingredients, causing them to fall onto the floor with a loud BANG! CRASH! CILCKITY-CLACK!
The two racers cringed at the loud noise as they heard footsteps coming closer.
"What's going on?!" Calhoun asked, as she and the guys hurried into the kitchen.
"Are you two alright?" Felix asked worriedly.
"What's happening in here?" Ralph questioned with a more serious tone.
The three adults seemed to relax their shoulders when they saw the two chibi children alright, just a bowl and some spilled items scattered on the floor that could always be cleaned up.
Tamora sighed, tucking away the handgun she had flipped out back into her casual pants pocket. She walked over to the two, leaning slightly on the counter, "So what happened?"
Vanellope blushed, stuttering, "O-oh, um... Rancis and I w-were making candy pies and... um... accidently pushed them too close... to the edge..."
Felix whipped out his handkerchief, walking over to the fallen food. With a shake of his head and a few 'tut tut' sounds, he knelt down, whipping up the icing and ice cream.
"We're sorry, Uncle Felix,"
"No worries, Vanilla. No use crying over pixilated dairy products."
"We could help clean." Rancis offered.
"Um, I think you two spent enough time in the kitchen." Ralph said, picking the two up, one of them in his right hand, the other in his left. "I'll take these two to the couch."
"That's good, brother. The lady and I will be on our way shortly."
Ralph gave a nod to his counterpart and soldier wife before carrying the two racers over to the living area where they had been sitting before the crash. He set the two onto the large couch before picking up the remote, switching the television to some kiddie program to keep the two occupied for awhile.
"Ralph, this is baby stuff. It's like what those down at the Whack-A-Mole watch."
"Your game is located by the Whack-A-Mole."
"Can we see if Street Fighter is on yet? Or maybe some Sonic or Mario races?" Vanellope asked, clearly wanting something more exciting and, well, her speed.
Ralph watched the program he had turned on for a moment. It was for little character's alright; short and simple music, not too difficult of a plot, along with problem solving with letters and numbers. Oh, wow! The characters in the show were building a little kart!
"Hey, it's a about racing," Ralph stated, pointing a massive finger at the television, "They're making a kart."
Vanellope groaned, "Ralph, we weren't programmed yesterday!" she said, glitching up onto Ralph's shoulder and snatching the remote from his hand with ease. She then proceeded to hop down from his shoulder, and change the channel.
"Vanellope, give that back!" Ralph said, making a grab for the remote.
Vanellope ran to the side and blew a raspberry at her best friend, "If you want it, you'll have to come and get it, slow poke!"
Ralph grabbed for the remote yet again, only having Vanellope glitch behind him in return.
Eventually, it turned into a fun game rather than a fight over a remote. Ralph's chuckling and heavy footsteps filled the room, along with Vanellope's giggling and squealing, mostly when he managed to scoop her up and began to tickle her.
Rancis sat on the couch silently, grinning at Ralph and Vanellope's brother-and-sister-like relationship.
"And - I got you!" Ralph chanted gleefully as he scooped Vanellope up with a squeal. The little girl giggled as she was tossed up into the air once, being caught by her best friend.
"What's going on in here?"
Felix and Calhoun entered the room, the two holding a bowl each, one with chips, another with popcorn. They set the bowls down onto the small table before the TV.
Vanellope instantly glitched away, leaving the remote in Ralph's large ham hands, and took a handful of chips.
"Thanks!" Vanellope said through a mouthful of chips.
"Sure thing. Since you and your little friend's candy pies didn't end well, we just got some snacks." Felix explained while he and Tamora sat down on a shared single couch.
Ralph turned the television off and used his huge hands to carefully grab some chips, then sat down on his chair. Rancis grabbed some popcorn.
"Well, it would've worked, but Rancis being his clumsy self just went ahead and knocked everything down!" Vanellope teased, turning to him and shaking her head disapprovingly, "Tut tut, Rancis."
"H-Hey!" Rancis exclaimed half offended, half amused, "You knocked it down, not me!"
Vanellope jumped up onto the couch and sat next to Rancis, "Butterfingers, lying won't do any good."
Rancis shoved Vanellope slightly, "Which is why you shouldn't do it."
"I'm not!"
"Did too! You knocked the bowl over!"
"Only because you kissed me a-" Vanellope glanced over at the others in the room, mentally scolding herself for saying that in front of them. Vanellope, you idiot! Vanellope thought, closing her eyes tightly for a moment.
Ralph's eyes immeditalty widen at hearing that, whipping to glare daggers at the blonde racer. Vanellope had shot her hands up over her mouth and Rancis just looked nervous at the others.
"WHAT?!" Ralph exploded.
"Wreck-It, calm it down!" Calhoun ordered when the oaf stood from his seat furiously.
"Brother, we can always talk this thr-"
"NO! We can't always 'talk everything out', Felix. Sometimes actions are better," Ralph said rather loudly, anger being known in his tone.
Rancis held his hand up in defense, "R-Ralph, I-I can explain!"
At the sound of his voice, Ralph turned towards Rancis, "You peanut butter, little sister stealing, cheating little racer! Why did you kiss her?!"
"B-Because I like her. And..." he faced Vanellope and held her hand, "just in case you didn't let us be together."
Vanellope smiled and faced Ralph, "But he's gonna get your approval as soon as you give him a chance." she said matter-of-fact-ly.
Ralph huffed in annoyance, "You two have been kissing despite no given approval yet. I'm sorry but this night is over."
Rancis nodded, "I'm sorry," he murmured as he leaped off the couch. He sent a quick nod towards Vanellope and apologetic motion to the Fix-Its before exiting. He really couldn't face Ralph then. He was already in trouble.
"Ralph!" Vanellope freaked, completely furious then. "I can't believe you! What is wrong with you anyways? You're like a wall blocking me! I'm still gonna see him, we're in the same game."
Ralph pointed his index finger towards Vanellope, "I'm doing this to protect you, Vanellope!" he sated.
"From what?!" Vanellope exclaimed, throwing her hands in the air.
"From jerks like Rancis! No daughter of mine is dating at nine years old!" Ralph shot back.
Vanellope narrowed her eyes and clenched her fists, "Rancis is NOT a jerk! And... wait, daughter?"
Ralph shook his head, "Just forget that! Stay away from Rancis. Got it? Good." Ralph said without waiting for a response. He walked to the door, looking over his shoulder, "I'll see you all tomorrow!" he shouted still mad. And with that, he walked back to his shack.
Vanellope huffed and crossed her arms. "I cant believe him." she scowled.
"Don't worry, Vanilla Bean," Felix comforted, kneeling in front of Vanellope and hugging her, "we'll get this sorted out soon."
