Alright I bring you another chapter! In this one we get to see a new couple! There was the ever so tiniest hint in the last one but I doubt anybody saw it. Here is the chapter! This chapter is actually not about Bubblina or Barry.

Honey stretched and yawned as she woke up. She started to get breakfast when she suddenly remembered she was on the roster today! She quickly got dressed as the flashback of why she's on the roster came back to her.

Flashback begins

"PLEASE! I'm sorry," Chip begged. Vanellope didn't really know how to punish Chip for what she did to Taffyta as it was against the rules to hurt another racer off the track. So she left the decision to Cottoney, the stuck-up rule enforcer. Cottoney simply looked down at the begging Chip, who was on her knees. "You should have thought about the consequences BEFORE you broke the rules. Now you don't get to be in the Roster for tomorrow." Honey looked on with sympathy for Chip. Chip had a really bad past and couldn't help it when she freaked out. She suddenly heard Cottoney's voice say her name but couldn't make out the rest of the sentence. "What?

"I said that you will take Charlotte's place on the roster since she is now ineligible to race. Try to pay attention more to your surroundings." It took all of Honey's will power to not roll her eyes. She was nice and patient but Cottoney got on everyone's nerves and sometimes Honey just got frustrated and angry with her. She was still shocked with herself that she thought that about Cottoney but it wasn't technically her fault, right? Instead of responding to the comment, our honey themed racer simply nodded.

Flashback ends

Honey arrived at the garage an hour before opening. Looking around, she found that almost everyone had arrived. Everyone else who was on the roster had arrived. She looked for a specific racer. I wonder where Carnell is- Stop thinking that Honey! There is no way that he would like you back! Is what Honey was thinking as she went to check on her kart. It was perfectly fine for a long day of racing.

Since she had nothing else to do for a while, she started to think. Now, Honey herself couldn't explain this, but her thoughts started to drift back to Carnell. There was just something about him that made Honey like him. Maybe his quietness. Possibly his cleverness. Point is Honey likes him. She just wished he liked her back. Oh well, a girl can dream.

Soon, it was time for opening. Honey positioned herself in Chip's spot of the screen in the top left corner. She looked to her left to see Carnell in the slot next to her. She quickly looked ahead as Mr. Litwak started fumbling with the keys to open the doors. Before he could open the doors though, Honey heard a faint whisper. "Good luck today, Honey." She looked back towards her left and saw Carnell smiling at her. She blushed but hid it with her long hair before smiling back and nodding a thank you. She then took her pose- smiling shyly with her head down but looking up at the same time. Hands clasped in front of her.

The seats were soon occupied by 2 boys, both bragging about how they were going to win. The first boy spoke. "Oh yeah? Well I get to choose first, so I am going to pick Jerry." He drove the steering wheel until it landed on Jerry's slot. When it did, he hit the gas pedal which selected the avatar. The other boy scoffed at this. "Jerry? Really? Everyone knows this game is about speed, so I am going to pick Honey! She's fast and has good steering!" While talking, he selected Honey. Before the game started though, the first boy said something. "Why would you pick a girl? There may be more girl avatars, but the boy avatars are far better!"

While the 2 boys were arguing over the avatars and had no attention to the screen at all, Honey frowned. Was she really that bad? Were girls worse than the boys? After a while, Mr. Litwak came and sent the boys away from the game. Seeing as though no one was looking at the screen and there weren't many people there yet, Carnell whispered to Honey. "Don't listen to them, Honey. You're a great racer!" Honey blushed and quietly mumbled a thank you, knowing that Carnell was one of the few people that could hear Honey when she spoke quietly.

The arcade closed at 7 'o clock. Everyone on the roster had won at least 2 gold trophies that day. Honey had won 3 gold, 1 silver, and 2 bronze. Pretty good day. Now she was getting ready for the roster race. She would be talking to Bubblina but Jerry had dragged her away to a track to show off for her. She changed a flat tire, put in new oil, and gave it a wash. Yep. She was ready for racing.

Soon the roster race begin. Nobody was really ahead of anybody until Gumball Gorge. Gloyd got 3 Sweet Seekers and fired at Swizzle, Barry and Bubblina. He got Swizzle and the remaining 2 missiles started heading for the bubblegum duo. Both looked at the gumballs coming out of the machines and smirked at each other. Barry darted to his left while Bubblina went right. They started climbing the sides of the canyon with the sweet seekers still following them. Nobody, not even Vanellope, could do what they did.

They both made it past the openings of the machines just as a gumball came out. With the unexpected object in the way, the missiles hit the gumballs destroying it and leaving the 2 perfectly unscathed. Honey stared in shock. She couldn't believe her eyes and just stared at the 2 along with everyone else. Nobody had ever escaped a sweet seeker before!

Honey came out of her state of shock just in time to get the accelerator at the jump. She rocketed forward into 4th place! She sped around Barry, Bubblina and Carnell. She shifted gears and pressed down harder on the gas pedal reaching over 150 miles an hour. She climbed up the cake quickly and shot out of the cannon. She felt the coldness of the cave and started to slow down as to not slip and slide.

Right when Honey left the cave, she heard the rumble of an engine. Looking in her mirror, she saw it was Carnell, who had caught up to her quickly. While she was distracted, Honey missed a power-up and Carnell grabbed it instead. She heard the announcers voice boom. "Sweet Seeker!" Carnell had grabbed a singular sweet seeker. He had only one missile but he had absolutely nothing in his way to make a direct hit on Honey.

Carnell was about to fire the missile until he finally noticed what kart was in front of him. A kart shaped like a honey pot decorated with bees. Honey's kart. Suddenly an angel version and a devil version of him appeared on his shoulder. (The devil will be this while the angel will be this)

Do it! Shoot her! Take her down!

No. Don't. Let her win.

And why should she win you dress wearing dummy?!

Simple. She hardly wins the roster race and besides he has a crush on her.

Crush hmmm... Great idea! You can CRUSH her! Nice idea angel!

That is not what I meant! I meant that he likes her! A lot actually!

That is just stupid! She's a 4-eyed freak! I mean she drives a honey comb! A HONEY COMB!

"Will you 2 shut up please?!" Carnell whispered-shouted. Hmmm... No! Hahahahahah! Now just shoot her already! Forget the fact you like her! Carnell was now annoyed and flicked the devil of his shoulder and ran over him. OOOOOWWWWWWW! Can someone get me a Band-Aid?

Normally, I would go help someone who had been run over. But I think I'll leave him there.

Heard that! You were meant to!

What are you going to do now, Carnell? Suddenly Carnell had an idea. He aimed for Honey but at the last second jerked the aimer and shot a lollipop tree instead. Honey crossed the finished first, thus winning the race, and Carnell came in seconds after her. Since they had pretty much left everyone else in the dust, literally, Carnell decided to congratulate Honey on her win. "Hey, Honey. You did a great job racing today. I'm glad you didn't let those 2 gamers get you down."

Honey blushed and started stammering. "O-oh um, th-thanks. Y-y-y-you...did great yourself! Second place! Not bad! Yay?" She looked down at her shoes, refusing to meet Carnell's eyes, knowing she would just get lost in them. "J-just one question though. How did you miss me with the sweet seeker? You had a clear shot."

This time it was Carnell who was blushing. He didn't want Honey to know he liked her just yet, so he's gonna have to do the one thing he pretty much hates doing: lie. "Oh, um, well I was aiming when I sneezed and my aim got thrown off and I missed. But it was nothing personal in aiming for you, just doing what we're programmed to do!" He added in a hurry with wide eyes. By now all the other racers had come. They all went up to Honey to congratulate her.

"Nice job, Honey" "Good race" Smooth racing, Honey" was what Honey heard constantly. She did NOT like being the center of attention. When everyone else, besides Carnell, left, Bubblina, who got 3rd place, and Barry, who got 4th place, decided to finally talk to Honey, seeing as though they didn't want to crowd her with everyone else swarming her like bees. "Great job, Honey!" Bubblina said with a little more cheerful and bubbly voice than what she had yesterday. Barry chuckled and also congratulated Honey. Carnell introduced himself, since he hadn't really met the 2 new racers yet and the 4 just talked until it was time to leave.

Barry went straight indoors but Bubblina grabbed a basket and started picking bubblegum for a treat she would make later. She almost had her basket full when suddenly someone grabbed her from behind the waist and pulled her to their chest. She started giggling, thinking it was Barry again. But when she turned around, she stopped laughing and just stared at who grabbed her.

Adam.

I am so so so so so so so sorry for not updating sooner. I've been having a lot of homework lately and karate and band practice keep running long. Plus my sister DELETED every single word of this chapter when I finally finished it. So I had to do it all over again!

Anyways review!
