Vanellope raced along the final stretch towards the finish line.

"Bring it home, kid! The finish line is wide open!" Ralph shouted.

Vanellope shifted, and increased the speed of her kart. Jackson also shifted, but his speed wasn't fast enough to overtake Vanellope. Finally, Vanellope crossed the finish line in first.

"The winner! VANELLOPE VON SCHWEETZ!" The announcer shouted.

Jackson also crossed the finish line. "Second! HENRY JEFFERSON!"

Vanellope hopped out from her kart. Her friends started to congratulate her. Jackson, Finish Line race cars and fans stared at them, and Jackson kicked the ground in frustration.

"Damn it!" Jackson muttered. "I could have won!" Before he could continue with his complain, Max, the core 4, racers, and Sugar Rush citizens crowded up to him. They were totally shocked that Jackson was still alive.

"Jackson, what are you doing here?!" Max asked. "Were you alive?"

"Of course I was alive!" Said Jackson. "You didn't know?"

"Yeah! Everyone thinks you're dead!" Max said.

"I knew it." Said Jackson.

Then Candlehead came up to Jackson, and asked, "Jackson, how did you managed to come here?"

"Well, it's a long story. You all know about my story, right?"

"We do know about it." Said Ralph. "Max told us about it."

"I see." Jackson said.

"Can you now tell us about how you came here?" Vanellope asked.

"Well, here's the thing." Said Jackson. "When I broke out from my career, I ran to the forest to hide myself. People searched for me, but I hid deeper in the forest so they would not find me. When they stopped, I was free, but living by myself was so hard. Soon enough, I ran out of fuel, my tires worn out, and I lived lonely and poor for 20 years. Then, sometime in 1993, on a rainy night, I found Litwak's Arcade. I went to there, fell unconscious, and I found myself in the game world. The Finish Line race cars greeted me, and enabled me to work as their game's avatar. And I lived like that for another 20 years."

"Oh my land!" Felix said shocked.

"You did?" Minty asked shocked. "You lived like that? For 20 years?" Jackson nodded in response.

Everyone were shocked. The Sugar Rush racers felt sorry for Jackson.

"It was the most difficult time I've ever had in my life." Jackson said in a sad tone. "And I felt terrified everytime I remember it."

Max slowly approached to Jackson. "Hey uh, Jackson." He said.

"What?" Said Jackson.

"I'm actually a hopeless racer, just like you."

"You do?!"

"Yeah, I do. I joined in motorsport 5 years ago, and had a dream about becoming a best racer. But it got shattered because I never won a race. Also the other race cars bullied and teased me, and called me a loser. So some days ago, I ran away from our team's headquarter. Then I came here, and worked as a racer of Sugar Rush."

Jackson's eyes were widened at this. "You really did?" He asked. Max nodded in response.

"Then will you be my friend?" Jackson asked, a little hope in his mind.

"Of course! We can be friends now! In fact, we both are in a same shoe." Max replied.

"You are totally right! Hey uh, Max, I'm sorry for being mean to you, and all the other kids."

"Don't worry Jackson. We don't even think about it anymore." Said Max.

"We already forgave you." Said Vanellope. "So don't worry."

"Thank you so much." Said Jackson.

Ralph came up to Vanellope. "Hey, kid. Shall we do a something special right now?" He asked.

"That's a great idea!" Said Vanellope. "Who wants to have a party?"

At this, everyone agreed.

"Very well! Come on! Let's do this!" Vanellope shouted.

Everyone cheered. Soon, a big party had opened and everyone enjoyed it.
