Chapter 2: A New Game
Agent BM: Thx.
The next morning, Vanellope woke up and went downstairs to get breakfast. Shank and her crew were already eating doughnuts and drinking coffee.
"Morning, Vanellope." greeted Shank.
"Morning." she replied.
"You ready for another day of racing?" asked Little Debbie.
"Yeah, you bet." Vanellope replied.
She had a couple doughnuts, and then went to get her kart.
She raced around with the others for a few hours, but then Vanellope got bored with it. She parked her kart, and decided to explore the Internet a bit.
"(Sighs), who ever thought I could get bored of my favorite thing, again?"
As she walked, she got bombarded by a bunch of pop up ads.
"Wanna buy an island?"
"Need know a way to burn some belly fat?"
"Check out what was washed up on this beach."
"Come on, beat it." Vanellope told them.
But they continued to bombard her. Feeling panicked, she quickly started to look for an escape. She then spotted the entrance to what looked like a game. She burst through the ads, and hurried inside it.
At first it was dark, and Vanellope wasn't sure what game she'd run into. Then she saw a light at the end, and walked towards it. As she got closer the light got brighter, and she had to shield her eyes with her hand.
After her eyes adjusted she could finally see where she was, and she was shocked. She saw that she was in a land of candy! There were mountains made of chocolate bon bons, hills that were different kinds of cakes, there were trees made of lollipops and swizzle sticks, and the ground was covered in candy grass and sparkled with sugar sprinkles.
"Oh my gosh." Vanellope gasped.
It was like she was back in Sugar Rush. She walked further into the game, taking in the new yet familiar sights.
"Where am I?"
Suddenly, she heard the sound of revving engines. She looked in the direction of the sound and saw something approaching her. At first she thought it was karts, but as she looked closer she saw they were motorcycles.
Then the motorcycles came to a stop, and one of the riders got off their bike. It was a 70's-era style motorcycle. A set of rocket boosters resembling candy cigarettes are fixed to the back. It was a girl, and she was the same height as Vanellope, and had lightly tanned skin, brown eyes, and fiery red, held up in back in a spiky claw clip.
She was wearing a white motorcycle suit with an orange flame pattern on the sleeves and a red chevron pattern on the chest, along with a light brown sweatband.
"Who're you? And what are you doing here?" she wanted to know.
"I'm Vanellope."
The others racers seemed to be shocked when they got a closer look at her.
"Well Vanellope, what are you doing here? You're not part of this game."
"Calm down, Nico Tina." said another racer.
This one was a boy. He had tan skin, brown eyes, and wavy hair that was white, brown, and pink. And he was wearing a brown t-shirt, white pants, pink shoes.
"Sorry, about her. I'm Freezee."
"Nice to meet you, Freezee, but what game am I in?"
"You're in Sugar Crunch Run."
"Sugar Crunch Run?"
"Yep, we're a candy themed motorcycle game." Freezee informed.
"A motorcycle racing candy game?" Vanellope asked in disbelief.
Then another boy stepped up, and to Vanellope's surprise he looked like Rancis. He had light skin, blue eyes, his hair styled in a cowlick like him, he wore a blue shirt, brown pants, black sneakers, brown chocolate with chocolate stains on it.
"Yep, I'm Kevin Fluggerbutter."
"Fluggerbutter?" Vanellope asked.
"Yes."
"You know you look sort of like our leader." said a girl with light skin, blue eyes, black hair in two ponytails, and wearing a blue shirt, red jacket, red shorts, blue boots.
"I do?"
"Yes. In fact, we should take you to her. She'd definitely want to know about you."
"Good idea, Pi." told Freezee.
And with that, the racers led Vanellope further into the game.
Soon they came to a large castle that looked like it was made of pink wafers, icing, and chocolate chips. Nico Tina knocked on the door, and some Oreo soldiers opened the door.
"State your business."
"We have a visitor here to see the princess."
The Oreo soldiers let them in, and Vanellope noticed how similar the place looked to her old castle. In the throne room, there was someone sitting on the throne, but they were in the shadows, so Vanellope couldn't see them clearly.
"Your Highness, we have a visitor in the game." Kevin informed.
The figure then stepped forward, and when Vanellope got a better look and was shocked. The girls looked exactly like her! Only she had blonde hair instead of black. And she was wearing the same princess dress Vanellope originally wore but this one was blue.
"Presenting her royal highness, Princess Lucy Von Schweetz." announced Pi.
Lucy stepped down from her throne, and then saw Vanellope. She gasped and Vanellope did the same. After getting over the shock, Lucy signaled for her subjects to give them a minute alone. And they all left, leaving the two alone.
Lucy looked at Vanellope confused.
"You look just like me. Except I don't have black hair or that much candy in my hair." Lucy told her.
"And you look just like me."
"Who are you and why are you in my game? I know you don't live here." Lucy demanded to know.
"Uh, I'm Vanellope Von Schweetz. I just ducked in here to get away from some annoying ads." Vanellope explained.
"Von Schweetz? You have my last name? How is that possible?" Lucy asked.
"Well I'm originally from the game Sugar Rush."
"Sugar Rush? That's our sister game. Though I didn't know a Von Schweetz existed there. Maybe that means we're related...somehow."
"Maybe, but I don't have a clue how."
"Maybe you're my mom. Or sister. Cousin perhaps? No one knows a lot about our history or sister game."
"I have no idea. But I have to say your game reminds me a lot of home."
"If you're from sugar rush then I can understand that. Welcome to my castle. As you already know I'm the princess. Are you a princess too? Do you have a fancy dress like mine?"
"I am and I do. But I don't like wearing or being called princess. I used to be called President."
"President? Princess is much better, but that's just me. But wait, if you're from Sugar Rush, how're you here? We're an old online game, that was an arcade game. Are you from a rom or fan copy of sorts?"
"No, I'm actually originally from Sugar Rush. You see I left Sugar Rush a couple years ago to race in Slaughter Race."
"Slaughter Race? Why would anyone leave a paradise like Sugar Rush to live in gangsters paradise? That's like if I made Kevin go live in Star Wars Battlefront."
"Truth be told. I got bored."
"Bored? Well that's still no excuse. Then again I guess I can relate somewhat. We don't get played as often so I sometimes take excursions out into the web. I see such beautiful things I want but can't buy so I don't venture out as much."
"Guess we have something in common then."
"My reason is much different than yours. I want more jewelry and new dresses but can't buy them. I can't fully leave because my subjects need me."
"Well you got me there."
Vanellope then thought a little more, and then spoke up again.
"Hey, would you mind if stick around for a while and look around. This place really reminds me of home."
"Hmm, well you don't seem like a threat, so yes you may stay for a bit. I'll introduce you to my racers." Lucy replied.
"Thanks."
And the two girls left the castle.
That's chapter 2, and the rest of the racers will be introduced in the next chapter
