I said I wouldn't update this story for a long time. I lied. Not intentionally. I'm just flowing with ideas & can't pass up the opportunity.
"Hi.. Vanellope?", asked Vanellope.
It was Vanellope, sort of. She had light brown hair, a pink equivalent of Vanellope's garb (with the exception of the peanut butter cup mini-skirt, which was the same as Vanellope's) & a pink tiara, like the one Vanellope never wore. She wore a light-hearted, but seemingly impaired face, complete with a half open-mouthed smile, not taken aback in the slightest.
"I'm not Vanellope.", she giggled.
"I know that. I am. But who are you?".
"You first.", she played.
"President Vanellope Von Schweetz. And you are?".
"Princess Banannaby Schweetza.", she said announcingly.
"What are you? Why do you look & sound like me?".
"I was going to ask you that.".
"Where did you come from?".
"Right here. Where did you come from?".
Vanellope didn't think she was making any progress in finding out who this look-alike is. Now that her vision was restored, she examined her surroundings. The castle was unrenderred & transparent, occasionally flickerring. There were no other characters around. And the sky was a dark orange. She was still beyond the borders of the game. She didn't get back at all. In fact, she was in some sort of error world, a negative copy of Sugar Rush not meant to be seen.
"You're like an anti-me.".
"Does that make us enemies?".
"No. That makes us sisters!", she said. They both excitedly jumped about.
"Are there other people here?".
"I don't know.".
"Did you SEE any people here?".
"No".
She was displaying signs of a low IQ. Afterall, she was Vanellope's opposite. Vanellope wasn't affected. She became excited again.
"I've never had family before.".
"Me neither.".
"How long have you been here?".
"I don't know.".
"A long time, a short time, what?", she attempted to simplify the question.
"I think a short time.".
"What have you been doing all of this time?".
"I was just standing here until you came.", she said happily.
"All your life?".
"Yeah!".
"Years?".
"Uh".
"I think you've only been here a day. I think I created you by going through that portal thing. That would explain why there's no other characters here.".
"Yeah, I think you're right.", she exclaimed, not really following.
"Come with me to my town. I can introduce you to everyone & show you my castle.".
"Is lt like my castle?".
"Maybe. What's your castle like?".
"I don't know.".
"[Sigh] Then how am I supposed to answer your... oh, nevermind. Let's go.".
Vanellope led Banannaby back to the portal. It wasn't hard to find, being a glitchy rectangle above ground. Fortunately, lt wasn't that high up,
so they would easily be able to climb through lt. Vanellope grabbed the sides of the ground & pulled herself up. Then, she extended a hand down & pulled Banannaby up. Banannaby took a good look around at the amazing sight. A large candy plain holding a few candy cane trees in the distance & the entire scene complemented by the most perfect skyline. She must have been so happy & serene that she glitched like Vanellope.
Except her code was pink.
"Wow. You can glitch too'? And your code is pink!".
"Amaranth pink.", she added.
Vanellope was caught offguard. Though Banannaby was usually dim-witted, she could be smart when she wanted to be.
'She really is my opposite. She's smart when she wants to be & I'm dumb when I want to be.'.
"Hey, that's a perfect middle name for you: Amaranth.".
"Whoa. I like lt! Now me, now me!".
"Okay".
"You're middle name is, 'Rainier'.".
"I'm German, not French.".
"So what? It's a nice name.".
"Yeah, lt is. Okay, I like lt.".
Banannaby returned her gaze to the sky & clouds. She looked like she hadn't seen anything other than the monochromatic landscape she had been affixed on through the portal. And she probably hadn't.
"Okay. Come on. We're not in Schweetz yet.".
Vanellope led the way back to the Game Wall, only a short 10 minute walk from the portal. More candy cane trees appearred, the ground changed back to white chocolate, the sky reverted to blue & hills started to materialize far off. The cybug corpse designated the location of the Game Wall & thus, the border between what Vanellope was already planning on calling Schweetz Borough & Desolate Plains. The place through the portal she decided to call the, 'Unzone', which would be a separate borough.
Then Vanellope stopped, as a terrifying thought made an entrance: 'What lf since I can travell through, she can't?'.
Being opposites, there was a chance that Banannaby could not traverse the Game Wall like Vanellope could. There were only two ways to find out.
Vanellope went through the Wall with ease. Banannaby halted.
"What's that thing?", she pointed to the dead baby cybug.
"Oh, that's a cybug. I'll tell you all about THOSE things later. Come on through.".
"Through what?".
"The Game Wall.".
"What's that?".
"This invisible force field right here.", she waved her arm through lt.
"I don't see anything.".
"That's the thing with invisible objects.", she pointed out.
"What's the thing?".
"Forget lt. Come on.".
Vanellope tensed as Banannaby started. She successfully passed through & Vanellope eased up. She took her back to Candy Castle, which she renamed to, 'Castle Schweetz', because she didn't want any painful reminders of King Turbo Candy. They approached the gates & Vanellope knocked on the huge wooden door. After a moment, Sour Bill emerged. Seeing Vanellope, he fully opened the doors for her.
"Sour Bill, this is my sister, Banannaby. I want you to call a meeting so everyone can meet her. That includes Ralph, Felix & Calhoun.".
"Yes, Mistress President.", he said in a less dreary voice.
He wanted to be polite in front of her sister, shocked as he was of the news.
"And don't ruin the surprise. Just tell them I'm calling a meeting.".
"Ofcourse, Mistress President.", he said & was off in his personal kart he made at the bakery only the day before.
She turned to her sister.
"Let me show you the castle.", she smiled & said.
"Whoaaa. This is where you live?!".
Banannaby was easily excitable.
"Yes. And you can live here too'.".
"But where will I live?".
"Umm... here.", Vanellope reiterated.
"That's great!".
"You can be the Princess & I can be the President. It'll be a republican monarchy or something.".
"Yeah! What's that?".
"I'll tell you all about lt.".
Later on, Sour Bill had returned & all of the guests were in the meeting room. Vanellope's best three friends in the whole arcade had VIP seats in the front row while all of the Sugar Russians occupied the rest of the seats. Bill was beside Vanellope & Banannaby was in the throneroom,
prepared to make an entrance.
"I'm glad everyone could make lt!".
She looked to the front row & began naming off her friends.
"Stinkbrain, Sir Smiles A lot Jr., Seargeant Spray-It, people of Sugar Rush. Everyone, I would like for you to meet my new sister & the Princess of Sugar Rush who will be ruling by my side: Banannaby Schweetza!".
Banannaby enterred the room, spinning around adolescently while smiling & waving. Vanellope expected something like applause, but naturally,
everyone was very confused. Ralph stood up.
"How did you get a sister? Is she from another arcade?".
"Nope. I found out that since I'm a glitch, I can go through the Game Wall. So, I did & I went to the back of the game. Then on my way back, I found a portal to a part of the game where everything is backward. And I found her there. She's my opposite.".
"And then you found me.".
"I just said that. So, I finally have family. Is lt great or is lt great?".
"It's great.", he said. Then turning to the Princess, he said, "Nice to meet you by the way. I'm Ralph.".
He extended his hand.
"Nice to meet me too'.", she said, still spinning & in her own world.
Ralph looked a bit worried. Noticing this, Vanellope reassured him.
"She is a little nutty, but she can be very smart at times.".
"And you just met her today?".
"Yes. About an hour ago.".
Ralph was concerned for Vanellope. Banannaby was only a skeleton of her character. She wasn't fully developped & he wasn't sure lf she had the common sense to distinguish between right & wrong. He trusted Vanellope & he hoped this girl could be trusted as well, but he'd have to keep an eye out just in case.
"Well, okay. And uh, nice to meet you again.".
Felix & Tamora also greeted her. The Sugar Russians lowly gave, 'hi's, from the background. She glitched for a half second from all of the attention she was receiving. Everyone was startled, but most of all Ralph. Calhoun had instantly equipped her gun & had a laser point on her forehead. It was out of habit for her.
"Sheesh. No more sugar for yous people. She only glitched.", she ridiculed. "Anyway, Banannaby, that's my best friend, Ralph. He likes to wreck things, but never wreck him, unless you're me, which you are. That's Felix. He has to fix everything that Ralph wrecks, like a janitor. And he's married to Tamora. She's a seargeant & she hates cybugs. The three of them are my best friends.".
"Are they my best friends too'?", she asked excitedly.
"They can be lf you want.".
"Do I want to?".
"That's for you to decide.".
"What do I decide?!".
Vanellope face palmed.
"Yes. They're your best friends.", she decided.
"Yay! ...But I thought they were your best friends.".
Ain't she something? You gotta love her.
A few things: Yes, the Unzone is based on Upside Down World from Grand Theft Auto III. No, lt is not based on the Twilight Zone. Yes, Banannaby Schweetza is based on Twister Von Schweetz (& Ermac somewhat. And my old friend, Bruno, who's retarded, but smart when he wants to be. The, 'I don't know's', are based on me,
because that's my default response to a question.). I decided on that name because I literally thought that was Vanellope's name the first time I watched Wreck-It Ralph. I have to watch everything twice to understand lt. I also thought the Kart Bakery was Vanellope's prison. The skyline in Desolate Plains is the same as the skyline in Astoria on certain days. Schweetz Borough is based on Queensborough. Ralph's reaction is based on my mother, who thinks Bruno is dangerously stupid. The title of the story is based on a shitty movie sequel, Basic Instinct 2: Risk Addiction. The next chapter will entail the remainder of the meeting. Until then... Oh; & Disney, lf you're reading this, I own Wreck-It Ralph.
