Soon after the incident, Taffyta was in the castle dining room with Rancis and honey sitting next to each other, with her across the table with one of her droids, the other standing near the hallway.
"Don't see why she gets to sit next to you" said Taffyta
"Because I know Honey, and she didn't bring those 2" said Rancis
"Imperial droids are nothing more than protection to me, can't be too careful" said Taffyta
"So, you 2 were best friends once?" Honey asked confused
"Once" said Rancis
"We were the best of friends back in sugar rush. The racing, the soda bar, the ice cream contests. This was all before Vanellope regained her position as princess. Speaking of her, where is she?" Taffyta asked
"She's doing official business with my son in Lucy 2 next door, she doesn't need to be here anyway for this" said Rancis
"Alright. But yeah we were best friends" said Taffyta
"When it suited you" said Rancis
"What now?" Taffyta bluntly asked
"Taffyta, don't forget you bullied me too. Not as much as Vanellope, but you did. You made fun of the fact I never won a race until 2012. All those years I had that empty spot on my bookcase saved for that first trophy, you'd point it out and laugh at me" said Rancis
Honey gasped hearing that
"You got one didn't you?" Taffyta asked
"I did, after sending you into a molasses swamp" said Rancis
"So you were friends, how exactly?" Honey asked
"I was one of 3 boys in sugar rush, I was the only one who didn't mind hanging out with the girl racers. It's in my programming to care for my looks so I got along well with every girl. Taffyta was without a doubt the most popular girl racer, she was the best. I helped give her advice on looks and we bonded" said Rancis
"All was good until vanellope came back to power. She was good, very good, even better than me at racing" said Taffyta
"Vanellope sure loves racing, she can drive just about anything, the faster the better" said Rancis
A battle droid rolled in a cart full of different food
"Lunch is served, now before you dig in I will-
"Ooh this looks good" said Taffyta
She grabbed a burger looking dish and quickly bit into it, spitting it out.
"Ugh, what is this, hay? Why is there hay in this thing?" Taffyta angrily asked
"I was gonna warn you, that's a batch of hay burgers for twilight and pinkie pie in the conference room. You're not the only lunch being catered today"
"You are trying to poison our esteemed mayor, the penalty is death" said one of Taffytas droids
"No, don't bother, killing something so weak and pathetic like this droid isn't worth the time" said Taffyta
Just then, Lucy came into the room digging through her purse, not really looking where she was going
"Daddy I'm off to do some business at Kevin's arcade but I'll be home-
Lucy bumped into one of Taffytas droids and got a horrified look on her face. She backed up and bumped into the other one, who proceeded to grab her
"How dare you touch me, you are a disgrace to the empire"
"And a disgrace to this game"
Lucy glitched out of the droids arms and tried to run but was grabbed again. She was punched hard in the stomach before being thrown through a wall.
"Attempting to escape, a serious offense"
"Hey, tin cans, leave my daughter alone" Rancis angrily shouted
"Stand down" Taffyta ordered
Her droids obeyed while Rancis ran to his daughter who wasn't moving.
"She's dead. Those monsters killed my daughter!" Rancis angrily shouted
"Oh my gosh!" Honey shouted
"She'll regenerate, she's in her own game" said Taffyta
"Taffyta, how could you let this happen? How could you let those heartless things do that to Lucy?" Honey angrily asked
"They see her as a threat, what can I say? Granted I had them see her as one but let's face it, she's a nutjob" said Taffyta
"Did you even read her book? It explains everything from her point of view. And let's not forget she's still a kid" Honey shouted
"No and I don't intend to. If memory is correct that book caused riots I had to clean up in my district. Face it, the girls insane. Doesn't it bother you her army is made up of idiots? Idiots who killed billions in the games they came from?" Taffyta asked
"They're nothing but loyal to her" said Honey
"If she supported the empire maybe my droids wouldn't have killed her" said Taffyta
"I may be friends with a lot of villains, Taffyta, but out of all of them you're the most heartless" said Honey angrily "I've never seen one so hateful and evil"
"This coming from the girl who befriended Megatron? Do you know why the empire enslaved his kind?"
By this point, Lucy had finally regenerated. She pulled her lightsaber from her purse and stood up, despite Rancis wanting her to lie down for a moment.
"I got this daddy" said Lucy
"You know Taffyta, maybe you don't deserve to have Rancis as a friend. Why would he need you when he has me?" Honey asked
"SHUT UP! Both of you" Lucy shouted
Honey looked at Lucy while Taffyta rolled her eyes
"Both of you, get out. Wait in another room but don't leave this castle, I need to talk to my daddy" said Lucy
As honey and Taffyta began to leave the room, Lucy attacked taffytas droids, quickly slicing their legs off before cutting off their heads.
"Those were my personal-
"GET OUT! And wait in the throne room, both of you" said Lucy angrily
Taffyta and Honey went to the throne room as ordered. After 15 minutes of waiting, both Rancis and Lucy came out and sat in their thrones.
"Lucy and I have come to an agreement. Taffyta, if you even want to be my friend again, you have to get along with my family, and what better way to do that then spending a day with each of them" said Rancis
"And you can start with my droids" said Lucy
"The battle droids? Why would I wanna hang out with them?" Taffyta asked
"They might be tin cans to you, but they're family to me. They're having one of their karaoke nights tomorrow night on the bridge of my castle next door, you can hang out there for a couple hours. Handle that and you can hang out with someone else" said Lucy
"Awesome punishment for killing you earlier" said honey
"And you're accompanying her" said Lucy
"Oh that's not awesome" said Honey
"Honey, I trust you around my droids more than I trust the mayor here. My battle droids are a big investment, also, I'M THE QUEEN AND I'M ORDERING YOU TO COME!" Lucy angrily shouted
"Alright, geez, I know you died but you don't have to yell" said Honey in an annoyed tone
"The event starts at 8, again it's on the bridge. You'll both be taken care of, like it, or don't, I don't care, I'm not gonna be there. But if you want to be my daddy's friend again Taffyta, miss Honey and my droids better give me a good report on what happened. Now, get out" said Lucy
"As for you Honey, you can still have that lunch if you want" said Rancis
"I think I'll accept that" said Honey
