The group left Giselle's shop not long later, the thought of Vanellope turning evil on all the racers minds.
"Come on guys, I won't turn evil. Besides, there aren't that many imperials in this game. And they certainly don't have a ship that big. Their biggest one is in our ocean" said Vanellope
"I agree. Come on we're all friends" said Ralph
"You're right Ralph. I say we just forget about that stupid fortune of the future. No way it could ever happen" said Felix
This didn't sit well with the other racers unfortunately. They couldn't stop thinking that Vanellope could go bad on them. Their new home was young, new, the city not that big, at most a few businesses, a couple skyscrapers, several apartment buildings, and part of vanellopes castle partially built. They all wanted to start new lives now that the arcade was gone.
The racers pondered this in their apartments that night. They didn't know a lot about the imperials, but if a single star destroyer could cause problems, who knows what else the imperials were capable of. And that's not to mention the my little ponies. They hadn't moved in yet, but they were planning to soon, their theme was dying and moving in a new direction. And what of these robots in the vision, whatever they were.
No one was more concerned than Rancis, especially since he was dating Vanellope now. What if she did become evil? What would that mean for him? He had his own future to worry about.
As November came to a close and December came, the game started receiving snow. Everyone bundled up in warm clothes and prepared for Christmas. Pop up stores popped up to sell toys and other gifts to the citizens and everyone celebrated in numerous ways. One day the racers were playing in the snow in the fields, when Vanellope dropped by.
"Mind if I join in?" Vanellope asked
The other racers were hesitant. They reminded Vanellope of the vision Giselle gave them and their worries.
"Guys, that's not me. I swear. I'm a good girl" said Vanellope
"Sorry Vanellope" said Candlehead "we just don't want to be near you right now"
Vanellope sadly walked away, glitching from her adult to her kid body, and back and forth. She hated being rejected. The rumor of her turning evil spread to her slaughter race friends, and even they seemed hesitant to hang out with her. Vanellope felt alone.
Ralph noticed Vanellope was sad and tried to cheer her up but to no avail, she felt so unwanted. After a while of being ignored, Vanellope locked herself away in the library of her unfinished castle, which was now halfway done.
Ralph was worried, and he wasn't afraid to say that to Rancis as the 2 ate lunch at tappers one day.
"Vanellope would never do that. She's a good girl" said Ralph
"I wish we never went to that stupid fortune teller. She's so certain Vanellope will bring destruction" said Rancis "I'm her boyfriend and I'm scared. I know she won't do those things, but I need reassurance"
Tapper butted in on their conversation.
"You know, there are other characters who can see the future. Maybe they can reassure you. I got one guy in the back who might be of use" said Tapper
Tapper led Ralph and Rancis to the back of the bar where a strange looking character sat guzzling root beer. With the snap of his fingers his mug refilled when empty. He resembled some weird looking creature made of different animal parts.
"Ah, what are you?" Rancis asked a little creeped out
"Oh how rude to judge by appearance. My name is discord, friend of the my little ponies moving in after Christmas. I'm scouting places for a nice village for them. You must be king Ralph, pleasure to meet you. So, rumor has it your little friend Queen Vanellope might go bad"
"Hey, how do you know that?" Rancis asked
Discord lowered his head to Rancis
"I know lots of things dear boy. Like you're from a candy go kart game and want to be a pilot. How cute to have dreams. Tell you what, I can give you an answer to your friends fate. Be back soon"
Discord disappeared in a flash and reappeared as quickly as he left, shaking his head.
"My magics a little rusty, I can't give you a definitive answer. Looked like her. But I do know someone who can give you a definitive answer" said Discord "he sees more than I can"
"Who?" Ralph asked
Discord sent the 2 to new Iacon to a bar called Macadam's old oil house, where they were introduced to Autobot Macadam, a weird old transformer rumored to be one of the original 13 primes. He was said to be able to see into the future. Upon learning their plight, he looked into the distance and gave them a definitive answer.
"No, that is not Vanellope who causes issues. This girl is blonde. I can't tell you who it is, can't ruin surprises. But your friend will not turn evil" said Macadam
This was a huge relief to the 2.
"Think you can explain that to the other racers?" Ralph asked
"Sure, bring them here" said Macadam
(That night, Castle library)
Vanellope sat in front of the fireplace, alone and sad as the snow fell outside. She felt lonely as her friends didn't want to play or hang out with her. Maybe she was gonna be evil one day. Suddenly Ralph busted the door open and she saw all the racers along with Felix and Calhoun. Ralph explained what he and Rancis learned, and she was very relieved.
"We're sorry for being so rude to you and making you sad" said Gloyd
"We didn't mean it. We were just afraid" said Snowanna
"And even if you do become evil, we'll be here to help you be good again" said Candlehead
Rancis held vanellopes hand.
"I'm sorry for not being here for you. I was scared too to be honest" said Rancis
"It's ok. But please don't turn on me like this again. I do run this city and I can easily put a dungeon in here" said Vanellope
"No problem, just please no dungeon" said Taffyta nervously
"Well now that that's out of the way. Let's say I make some hot chocolate for everyone?" Felix asked
All the kids cheered and ran to the kitchen. Vanellope felt a little better, but she still worried. Could she still be that girl in Giselle's vision? Could she end up becoming a blonde and turning evil? Only time would tell
