Their very first race
Ch.7 Race Time
(Where last chapter left off)
The kid would begin lining up, all would be eager to get started.
Linder would stand beside his kart looking it over. "Something about this doesn't feel right…"
He'd jump into his kart and speed off towards the kart factory
"Where's Linder going?" Vick would ask
"No idea…" Nikki would reply
At the factory most of the adults would be waiting as Vanellope had left saying she'd go and fetch everyone a ride
Adorabeezle and Jubileena would be among them when suddenly Linder would come roaring in his kart stopping a few feet infront of them
"Linder? This better not be to ask why we're taking so long…" Jubileena would cross her arms
"No of course not mom…I just wanted to….well….change my kart….something about this one doesn't feel right to me…"
The adults would look at each other as Adorabeezle would turn to Rancis. "Mine if I go in with him to change his kart up?"
Rancis would nod and open the door for them. "Just don't take too long…Vanellope should be back at any moment."
Adorabeezle would nod and go in with Linder
(10 minutes later)
Vanellope would glitch in holding a remote along with the adults who had started walking towards the Royal Raceway
"Vanellope? Thought you said you were fetching us a ride?" Candlehead would ask
"I was but then I thought…it's a long way from here to the Royal Raceway….so why not have a race?" She'd state with a smile as she'd press a button on her remote and everyone's karts would teleport in beside her.
Everyone would smirk and jump into their karts as Vanellope would look around. "Where's Adorabeezle?" She'd ask
At that moment the large garage door would open and Adorabeezle would walk out
"Right here….Linder wanted to change his kart….he's keeping the same name though…"
Linder would drive his kart out and everyone would see the body would be an exact replica of Adorabeezle with a thick blue strip running down the middle of the kart and bright red strips running on either side of it, the wheels would be large balls of ice cream like on Jubileena's kart and on the rear of the kart there'd be a large red wing made of Jaw Breakers
"Nice kart…Linder head back and tell the children we'll be there in about 5 minutes…"
Linder would nod and would speed off
"Giving him a head start?" Adorabeezle would smirk as she'd jump into her kart
"Hey kids might be fast racers….but they don't have what it takes to race with us just yet…" Vanellope would respond
She'd rev her engine. "Ok…3…2…GO!" She'd shout as she'd take off and everyone would chase after her.
A few minutes later Linder would arrive at the Royal Raceway parking himself in his assigned spot
"They said it'll be about 5 minutes…"
"Argh that's 5 minutes too many!" Lucy would state
They'd all suddenly hear the roar of engines and would see their parents speeding towards the Raceway.
"Took them long enough…" Charles would state
The adults would slam on the breaks and would stop beside the Royal Raceway.
"I won!" Rancis would shout
"How is that possible you were chasing us the whole way here!" Taffyta would shout pointing to herself and Minty
Meanwhile Herschel and Lodhi would look at one another
"Should we tell them that they completely forgot the fact we were here 5 seconds before them?" Herschel would ask
"No…" Lodhi would chuckle
Vanellope would go up to her special platform in the stands and point to a special area made just for the adults
"Your seats are all there…"
She'd grab a microphone.
"Hello my Candy Citizens!" She'd pause as the crowd would give a little cheer.
"Today is a special day! For everyone in the stands and those watching at home…-she'd look at a camera filming her-…and those watching from Tapper's….for you all get to see the first race of the next generation of Sugar Rush racers for the very first time! These kids have been practicing and preparing for this and just like their parents are ready to entertain all of you with intense, close and exciting racing!"
The children would stand beside their karts as the cameras would begin pointing at them.
"Starting in 1st we have Lucy Fluggerbutter driving the Sweet Revenge!" Lucy would jump and fist pump the air.
"In 2nd is Kevin Fluggerbutter driving the Choconator!" Kevin would cross his arms and smile at the cameras.
"Starting in 3rd Lodhi Crisp Jr driving the Red Missile!" Jr would smirk and toss his helmet in the air than catch it and point it towards the camera.
"Starting 4th Christie Batterbutter Crisp driving the Crimson Glider!" Christie would throw her arms in the air and small flames would shoot out of the ground beside her unconcerned knowing most would be convinced it was special effects.
"Starting 5th Norville Crisp Batterbutter driving the Golden Rider!" The camera would pan towards Norville who's suit and helmet would conceal the skeleton hiding underneath, as the camera would get closer he'd raise a hand than close his fist and both his eyes would glow through the visor.
"Starting 6th Ricky Road driving The Dragster!" Ricky would look at the camera and crack his knuckles.
"Starting 7th Ryan Soft Serve driving the Ice Thriller!" Ryan would spin his helmet on one finger as if it were a basketball while grinning at the camera.
"Starting 8th Ella Nougetson driving the Wonder Wrecker!" Ella would fist bump the air several times smiling at the camera.
"Starting 9th Floyd Orangeboar driving the Corny Speedster!" Floyd would grin flicking a Candy Corn in the air spinning a full 360 on his heel then catching the Candy Corn and flicking it into his mouth.
"Starting 10th Nya Muttonfudge driving the Berry Blister!" Nya would jump in the air and twirl exactly like her mother however instead of a lollipop she'd be holding a Strawberry Gummy.
"Starting 11th Vick Rainbeau Twix driving the Fro-Twix!" Vick would cross his arms and smirk at the camera.
"Starting 12th Carl Brumblestain Mars driving the Sweet Wall!" Carl would stand on his kart and extend his arms out waving them up and down causing the section of the stands filled with his respective mothers' fans to let out a large cheer.
"Starting 13th Sophie Flugpucker driving the Pie Fighter!" Sophie would jump up in the air her parents' respective fans cheers growing louder with each jump
"Starting 14th Olivia Cookie Dough driving the Cookie Crusher!" Olivia would stick her left arm out a there'd be a small colorful explosion, she'd extend her right arm out and there'd be a second colorful explosion, she'd then clap her hands together and a big colorful explosion would go off 15 feet above her, her parents' fans delighted in the special effects.
"Starting 15th Linke Bing-Bing driving the Red Rocket! Linke would raise a hand and small jets of fire would shoot out around her kart, then as she'd clench her fist a giant ring would sprout around her kart for a few seconds before going out.
"Starting 16th Linder Winterpop driving the Sugar Rocket!" Linder would look around as ice would from around him and his kart, he'd slam a fist on the ground shattering the ice.
"Starting 17th Mercurio C DiCaramello driving the Drifter!" Mercurio would give a small elegant bow to the camera.
"Starting 18th Martin Buttercream Brownie driving The Fudge!" Martin would be staring silently at his helmet, he'd glance at the camera and smile.
"Starting 19th Hope Buttercream Brownie driving the Fudge Bike!" Hope would smile looking away from the camera and would kick the dirt infront of her
"Starting 20th Faith Buttercream Brownie driving the Sweet Speedster!" Faith would give a small smile to the camera before cracking her knuckles and fist pumping the air once her parents' fans letting out a large cheer.
"Starting 21st Charles Malarkey driving the Thrill Seeker!" Charles would stand on the hood of his kart wave his arms up and down getting his parents' fans roaring than do a front flip of his kart making the fans lose their minds.
"And last but not least starting 22nd Minty Zaki driving the Green Mint!" Minty would stand on her kart point towards the sky before doing a backflip off her kart sending her parents' fans into a cheering frenzy.
As Vanellope would finish the introductions the children would begin putting their helmets on while Marshmallow crew would help them connect specially designed HANS systems built my Lodhi for each child
Charles would role his eyes. "No pain no gain…no risk no fun…" He'd mutter
"And now…with final preparations taken care of….ladies and gentlemen…let the race…COMMENCE!"
Vanellope would pull on a rope hanging next to her and a light would appear infront of the children
They'd all grip their steering wheels tight as the red light would turn green, they'd slam on their gas pedals and take off everyone starting off well
Lucy would keep the lead as Kevin would fall down to the middle of the pack as everyone would jockey for position down the straight leading to Gumball Gorge
"Too easy…" Lucy would tell herself
Not to far behind Ella and Lodhi Jr would be battling hard for 5th.
Herschel would smirk watching the battle on the Jumbotron. "Those 2 remind you of anything Senior?"
Lodhi would chuckle. "I guess ze rivalry burns just as brightly in ze next generation…"
Lucy would lead the race into Gumball Gorge but would see people swapping positions constantly
Back at the starting line the second screen dedicated to listing the positions would be going crazy constantly swapping the position of racers
"Hope the system can handle the stress…." Vanellope would mutter
Meanwhile Lucy would lead the large pack towards a ramp
She'd notice Martin blazing through the pack towards her, he'd catch up to Norville and swerve to the left knowing his cousin was distracted with Ricky
He'd quickly get to the bumper and start pushing her forward
"What is he doing?" Lucy would ask herself
She'd see they were heading for the ramp leading to the Cakeway part of the track
It hit her
"WAIT!" She'd scream as Martin would nudge her into the speed boost at an awkward angle flying off the ramp and onto the side of the track spinning in dirt
Martin would let out a laugh as he lead the race towards the large cake
Lucy would hit her steering wheel. "I should've seen that coming!" She'd get back on the track as most of the racers would speed past her and she'd realize she dropped to about halfway down the grid
"Mod damnit! I was leading!"
Up ahead Martin would be ahead of a large chasing pack
All the racers would be within 20 kart lengths from start of the pack to end
He'd check his mirrors just in time to see Ricky blow by Norville and race towards him as they climb the steep run towards the ramp to take them to the next part of the track
Ricky would pull up close to Martin and would just nudge his left rear bumper, and on the dirt like road of the cake it was enough to send Martin sliding
Reacting quickly Martin would stop himself from going into a spin but would drift wide to the edge of the track looking at the perilous fall down to the bottom
Martin would drop about 10 places before being able to straighten out his kart.
"That was so dirty Ricky! I could've fallen off the track!" He'd shout in his mic built into his helmet.
"Ironic considering what you did to the princess…" Ricky would respond
"I was giving her a push!"
"Regardless...see you at the finish line!"
Ricky would jump out of the tube at the end of the cake and fly into the Frost Rally part of the track
He'd check his mirrors and see Charles right behind him with Lodhi Jr and Ella battling for third behind him, and behind them Norville would be keeping tabs on the large group of racers behind him
In the back Kevin would see despite starting second on the grid he was now running a lowly p18 and at the tail end of the massive pack of racers.
"Where did it all go wrong in this lap?" He'd ask himself
In the pack places would be swapped nearly constantly, everyone would be jockeying for positions trying to get a run on the top 5 who managed to stay out of the mess
Ricky would lead through the mountain and towards the finish line with Charles hot on his heels
Both would smile as they'd roar pass the grandstands and would hear the loud cheers of the crowds
The rest of the pack would not be to far behind as they'd hear Vanellope's voice on the intercoms lining the track
"LAST LAP! MAKE IT COUNT!" She'd yell into her microphone
Ricky would check his mirrors just in time to see Charles pull hard to the right and pull up beside him
Ricky would swerve to the right and hit Charles kart as they'd speed down the track, Charles would return the favor
"This is my race!" Ricky would shout
"No! It's mine!" Charles would respond
They both swerve to hit each other again, though this time both racers would spin from the ensuing contact As Jr would notice 1st place pop up on his dashboard and his eyes would light up
"No so fast Jr!" Jr would look around just in time to see Ella speed by him followed closely by Norville
He'd tighten his grip on his steering wheel and follow them through Gumball Gorge
Right behind them Nya would be battling Hope and Faith for 5th, Nya would swerve side to side denying both sisters, all 3 would hear and engine roar and see Vick soar pass them
Far behind Kevin would push his pedal hard to the floor. "No I'm not finishing this race this low!"
He'd catch the slipstream of Carl and would use it to sling shot himself into the middle of the pack, he'd catch up fast to Mercurio who'd swing to the right to block off his passing lane, Kevin would swing to the left not noticing his sister Lucy, he'd clip her kart and send her sliding into a Gumball that would send her flying to the back
Kevin would look over his shoulder. "Oh she's going to kill me for that…"
Just ahead Floyd would be laughing
"What's so funny?! I didn't mean to do that!" Kevin would yell at him
"Kev…buddy you got to learn to laugh at these things! It's just a race not life or death!" Floyd would respond and go back to laughing.
Kevin would ram the back of his kart and send him into a spin
"Now that was funny!" Kevin would laugh
Floyd would drop 2 positions before regaining control. "Yea, yea laugh it up your lowliness."
"Hey!"
Floyd would laugh again. "Like father like son…"
Up ahead Ella would lead the race up the cake with Norville and Jr hot on her heels.
She'd smirk as she'd jump into the Frosty Rally part of the track and would see a bridge over a ravine
"Great short cut…not worth the risk when I'm already leading…" She'd tell herself
The top 3 would continue driving as they'd all notice Nikki, Sophie and Olivia drive over the loose slightly broken bridge
"They're insane!" Ella would shout
Nikki would jump back onto the track slamming into the side of Ella's kart.
"Thanks for breaking my momentum! I thought I was gonna fly off the side!" Nikki would shout with a smirk
"My pleasure!" Ella would respond sarcastically
Right behind them Sophie would jump followed closely by Olivia, Sophie would hit the side barrier and spin and clip Olivia's kart that would cause her to slide across the track losing a handful of positions
Norville would see Jr right behind him and see Ella and Nikki slowed down by their collision.
"It's time…" He'd tell himself
He'd slam on the gas pedal and swerve far to the right to ensure both Ella and Nikki wouldn't have a chance to block
He'd speed by the 2 girls and down the tunnel leading towards the finish line, he'd see Jr line up beside him, neither brother would look at the other, they'd silently grip their steering wheels and put as much pressure on their gas pedals as possible.
From the grandstands the parents would see the 2 brothers shoot out of the tunnel down the final stretch, Ella trailing them with Nikki falling behind.
The fans would cheer as Jr would just inch ahead of Norville at the line with Ella finishing right behind with Nikki a few inches behind.
Behind them everyone would make one final scramble for positions
While Lucy silently watched from dead last.
The children would halt just abit passed the finish line at the results from their first race would appear on the Jumbotron

"Everyone give a cheer for such a magnificent race!" Vanellope would shout through the mic and the crowd of fans would cheer even louder
Jr would jump out of his kart throwing his hands in the air and jumping around like crazy.
"YES! YES! I VON MY VERY FIRST RACE!" He'd shout
Norville would give his jumpy brother a hug, as most of the other racers would come by and give Jr either a pat on the back or a pat on the shoulder each giving him a warm congratulations.
Kevin would give Jr a high five
"Way to go Jr!" He'd state happy to see his best friend overjoyed
"Zanks Kevin! Next time I hope I actually get to fight you on track!" Jr would respond
"I'll be a thorn in your side…I promise you…" Kevin would respond with a smile.
Lucy would sit slumped in her kart, she had started first, she led up until halfway through the first lap, and it was all downhill from there.
She'd hit her steering wheel angered.
Rancis would walk over to her kart and rest his arms on the door. "Hey sweetheart…look it's just a hard break…they happened to the best of us…even Lodhi Senior catches bad breaks every now and then…"
"But it was my first race!"
"I know honey…I know…you'll get them next time…great racers bounce back after a bad race…I expect to see you at the front next time…"
Lucy would sigh. "I'm sorry…I just…I just wanted to win so bad…"
"I get that honey…but as a racer…you're going to have to learn that you can't win them all…and part of being a good racer is being a good sportsman…and that means going and congratulating the winner…"
Lucy would sigh again. "I know…"
She'd get out of her kart and walk over to Jr who'd be standing on the top podium spot placed at the finish line, he'd be holding a massive trophy high in the sky as Norville and Ella would stand on either side of him
Lucy would eye the big trophy and her eye would twitch slightly
(A short while later)
Most of the fans would begin leaving as children would talk with their parents about their first race
Jr would step off of the podium holding his trophy tight, he'd see Lucy walk up to him
"Congrats Jr…you raced well…you earn that victory…" Lucy would shack his hand holding in her anger and forcing a smile
Jr would smile. "Zanks…hopefully I get to properly fight you on track…" Jr would state
"I'll be there..." Lucy would respond
"Probably in my dust!" Jr would say with a laugh as he'd walk over to where his family would be standing and showing them the trophy up close
Lucy's eye would twitch more as she'd walk back to her kart.
"Next time…oh next time…I'M WINNING!" She'd scream inside her head
