The next morning, the arcade opened, and the gamers entered to play games. Even during that time, the search for Max kept went on and on.
Later that night, after the arcade closed, Max and Swizzle were taking a break in their house after the random roster race.
"Hey Max, what do you think of a life in Sugar Rush?" Swizzle asked.
"Its pretty sweet." Max replied. "And its good to spend time with you. Except for one thing."
"What is it?" Swizzle asked.
"Well, here's the thing." Max then took a deep breath. "I'm starting to miss my original life."
"You miss your original life?" Asked Swizz. Max nodded in response.
"Yeah, I do. I miss our team's manager, my crew chief, racing models, and even the other race cars."
"I see." Swizzle said. "Wait, you miss the other race cars too?" Max nodded in response.
"Why? Didn't they bullied you?"
"True. They bullied me, but they might be feeling sorry for me right now. So I was thinking, if they apologize to me, I would accept their apology."
"Wow, you sure have a warm heart, Max."
"Thanks, Swizz." The two smiled each other.
Just then, a telephone rang. Swizzle went to answer it.
"Hello?" He said in a phone.
"Is that you, Swizzle?" Came a familiar voice. It was Vanellope.
"Oh hey, Vanellope. What's going on?" Asked Swizzle.
"Swizz, I want you and Max to come to the castle right now."
"Huh? Is there any problem?"
"Never mind. Please come right now."
"Well then, okay." Then Swizzle ended the call.
"Hey Swizz, what was Vanellope saying?"
"She said come to the castle now."
"Why?"
"I don't know. She just said come to the castle."
"Well then, okay. Let's go." With that, Max and Swizzle went to the castle.
At the castle, they went into Vanellope's throne room. All the other racers were already there.
"Welcome, Max and Swizz." Vanellope greeted.
"Hello, President." Swizzle said.
"Is there any problem, President?" Max asked.
"If you wanna know it, then come and sit here." Said Vanellope. Then Max and Swizzle sat down with the other racers.
"Racers, I told you to come here because I have an important news to tell you." Said Vanellope.
"What is it, Vanellope?" Taffyta asked.
"Because of this." Vanellope said as she took out a letter from her pocket.
"A letter?" Said Snowanna. "I wonder who sent to us."
"You wonder who, right? Henry sent to us."Vanellope said.
"Henry!?" Rancis said. "What's about that jerk?"
"Hold on. I'll read it." Then Vanellope started to read a letter.
Dear Vanellope,
I was really impressed to see your game's new racing car. And you know that we're big rivals, right? So, I have an idea. I wanna challenge that race car in your game. If I win, my game wins, and if your race car wins, your game wins. Sounds like a good deal, right? Anyways, I'll go to your game four days later for the tournament. Be prepared tightly.

"It seems like Henry wants to have a tournament with you, Max." Said Vanellope after he finished reading.
"Wow, that jerk sure has no fear." Said Max.
"Yeah, he sure has no fear." Said Sticky. "He really likes challenging."
"You must win, Max!" Said Torvald. "Your now the only one who can save our game's honor."
"That's right, Max." Said Vanellope. "Like Torvald just said right now, the honor of Sugar Rush is held on your tires now. You must win the race against Henry. Think you can handle it?"
"Don't worry, President!" Said Max. "I will beat that jerk in the race and show him the true power of our game."
"Very well. And after that, I'm gonna lock him up in the fungeon as a payback for mocking us!"
"Ah, what is the fungeon?" Max asked.
"It is a dungeon in my castle." Vanellope replied. "It is pronounced as 'Fun dungeon', but its simply called as fungeon."
"Oh, I see." Said Max.
"Anyways guys, the battle will be held four days later!" Said Vanellope. "And if Max wins, we will beat Henry so badly that he would wish he didn't want to mock us like that before!"
"Yeahhhhhhhh!" The racers shouted.
"I got it, President!" Said Max. "I will beat that jerk! And this is all..for Sugar Rush!"
"Yes! That's what I'd like to hear!" Said Vanellope. "Let's shout it for our game, guys! For Sugar Rush!"
"FOR SUGAR RUSH!" Everyone shouted.
