Chapter 4: Candace Aaron
Note: Candace Aaron belongs to jubileena.
Blink!
All she remembered was flashing into existence. She blinked a couple times and looked down at her appearance. She had pale skin, freckles, braces, long brown hair that had bangs and a thin blue highlight, and brown eyes, and she was wearing a red shirt, a purple skirt, and white shoes. The girl looked back up and looked around Sugar Rush.
"Is this Sugar Rush?" the girl wondered.
The sound of kart engines roared in the background.
"I'm going to take that as a yes." the girl thought. She then thought "I probably should make my way to the racetrack. The gamers won't like seeing that a character is not there when they are supposed to be there.".
With that, the girl walked to the racetrack. Once she arrived, she saw Timothy, the Sugar Rush racers, Cinndon, Captain Kaiser, Ralph, Felix, Tamora, and Turbo, who were still getting over the fact that Candi had all of the sudden decided to attack the other Sugar Rush racers and endanger everyone. She then noticed the popcorn stand, and how it had VVS in cursive.
"VVS? What is that supposed to stand for? Is it supposed to be some type of candy?" the girl wondered. She then shook her head and thought "I don't know, but I can't worry about that right now. For now, I should head to the racetrack and find my kart.".
The girl walked over to the racetrack and saw the karts, which were lined up in their usual places.
"Now where's my kart?" the girl wondered as she stood in the center of the starting line, gazing over the rows of karts.
Her eyes scanned each row to see if her programmed kart was anywhere to be seen, but she couldn't find it. While she stood at the starting line, Taffyta walked up to her and stood behind her.
"Hey, who are you?" Taffyta asked in confusion.
The girl turned around to face the Strawberry themed racer.
"My name is Candace Aaron." the girl replied.
Taffyta raised an eyebrow.
"Where exactly did you come from? I have never seen you before in my life." Taffyta asked.
Candace thought about it and then shrugged.
"I don't remember. I kind of just appeared by the racetrack." Candace replied. She then asked "Anyway, who are you?".
Taffyta smiled.
"Oh, I'm sorry for not properly introducing myself. I'm Taffyta Muttonfudge, one of the best racers of this game." Taffyta replied.
Candace smiled.
"Okay. It's nice to meet you, Taffyta." Candace said, smiling.
Candace held her hand out to the Strawberry themed racer. Taffyta smiled and held her hand out in order to shake hands with Candace. However, when she touched Candace's hand, Taffyta's hand went straight through her hand, and Candace glitched, looking like she was computerized. Taffyta pulled away from the girl and gasped.
"GLITCH! Vanellope, there's a glitch!" Taffyta screamed out at the top of her lungs.
Vanellope ran over to where Taffyta and Candace were standing. Candace just stood in front of Taffyta, confused.
"Glitch? But I'm not a glitch. Even if I was, why is everyone so scared of me? It's not like I did anything wrong." Candace wondered.
Vanellope raised an eyebrow upon seeing that Candace wasn't even glitching.
"Um... Taffyta, are you sure that you saw her glitch? She's not even moving." Vanellope asked.
Taffyta nodded.
"Yes, I saw her. She was glitching like a maniac, and I couldn't even touch her because my hand went through her like she wasn't even there! I am not going to let our game get unplugged by some silly glitch in the program." Taffyta replied angrily.
Vanellope frowned and walked up to Candace. She put her arm through Candace, and like Taffyta, her arm went right through Candace, who glitched. Vanellope pulled her hand back in shock before turning to Taffyta.
"Taffyta, can I have a word with you?" Vanellope asked.
Taffyta nodded, and she and Vanellope walked a few feet away. Vanellope looked at Taffyta.
"Taffyta, I don't feel like putting her through what I went through." Vanellope said.
Taffyta huffed.
"But, Vanellope, she's an actual gitch. It's not like her code was messed with, like what Turbo did to your code." Taffyta said.
Vanellope nodded.
"I know that, but we can't just bully her. That's wrong! Whenever you and the other racers bullied me, I felt terrible. The best thing to do is to get along with her." Vanellope said.
Taffyta sighed and then nodded.
"Alright, fine." Taffyta said.
Vanellope suddenly got an idea.
"Taffyta, you remember how Turbo is a master of code hacking, right?" Vanellope asked.
Taffyta became confused, but she nodded.
"Yeah, that's right. Why are you asking?" Taffyta asked.
"Well, if you remember, Turbo can also fix codes. So, if he fixes her code, then she won't be a glitch anymore." Vanellope replied.
Taffyta thought about it and then nodded.
"Alright, I get what your saying. That sounds great." Taffyta said.
Vanellope and Taffyta then walked back over to Candace. Taffyta sighed and approached Candace.
"Listen, Candace, I'm sorry for my outburst a few moments ago. Can you forgive me?" Taffyta asked.
Candace smiled.
"Sure, Taffyta." Candace replied.
Just then, Crumbelina drove up to Timothy, the Sugar Rush racers, Cinndon, Captain Kaiser, Ralph, Felix, Tamora, and Turbo. She got out and ran up to them, looking horrified.
"Guys!" Crumbelina shouted.
Timothy, the Sugar Rush racers, Cinndon, Captain Kaiser, Ralph, Felix, Tamora, and Turbo turned to her in confusion.
"Crumbelina? What's wrong?" Turbo asked.
Crumbelina looked at everyone.
"Candi escaped." Crumbelina replied.
