King Candy is the king of the popular racing game, Sugar Rush. And (Y/N) is a side character from the most unpopular game in the arcade: Mary Poppin's Chimney Sweep Adventure. (Y/N)'s game is getting closer to being unplugged due to its unpopularity...
So, I spoke too soon about Taffyta and Mary. Taffyta told Mary what I had done and what I was doing. So, Mary did something to move the unplug date to tomorrow morning. And she's demanding that I be in the game when that happens since I doomed the game. I'm sorry, I'm not the one who decided to break the entire game, making it glitch and showing Litwak what I've apparently done! She did this to teach me a lesson for game jumping AND going Turbo. This isn't teaching me anything.
I've literally been doing this since we got plugged in. Why didn't she do this 70 years ago? She will find any reason to blame me for something I didn't do! I would stay at Sugar Rush but Mary is literally waiting for me to come back so I know I can't. She's so manipulative. But I think things are about to get much worse. Candy is throwing a royal ball tonight and he's invited me to be his special guest. I don't even know how to dance! I don't know Waltz or any of those fancy dances! I'm scared to tell him, honestly.
He also gave me a special dress for the ball. Even a crown. I mean, a ball wouldn't be so bad for my last day here. I haven't told him that either. He doesn't know. Another thing I'm scared to tell him. I'll tell him after the ball. Sour Bill got me ready for the ball. I was put in a purple, pink, light and dark blue dress, a purple crown, matching flats and some light makeup. I look amazing! I can't wait for Candy to see. I walked down the stairs to the throne room where the ball was being held.

The room was full of the Sugar Rush citizens, the racers, some Oreo guards and party decorations. Sour Bill announced my arrival and Candy turned to look at me. He looked shocked. He walked up to meet me at the bottom of the stairs. He bowed and I curtsied to him. My curtsy was very bad because I've only ever bowed at people. He offered his hand and led me to the ball.
"You look thtunning, my dear," Candy said smiling.
"Thank you, your majesty. You're looking dapper as always," I said smiling.
I noticed everyone staring at me. It kinda made me uncomfortable.
"Don't worry about them, you look amazing. You look like a real princess," Candy said smiling.
I blushed. I talked with guests, had some drinks and food and had a good time. But then, Candy asked me to dance with him. I instantly got nervous. I finally admitted to not knowing how to dance but he assured me that I would be fine and just follow his lead. I mean, I'll try. We stood a distance from each other before the music started.
Our dance ended and he kissed my cheek! Thank goodness this makeup is hiding my blush. The ball continued for hours. I had fun afterwards and got the hang of dancing. I danced with Candy a lot. And I may or may not have shown off by using my ability to walk upside down to dance around on the ceiling. I took Candy with me and he was completely fine. He loved that I was using some of the abilities I was programmed with to have fun. I don't want this day to end. But it has to. Everyone soon left and it was just me and Candy alone.
"Did you enjoy yourthelf?" Candy asked smiling.
"I did," I said smiling, "I'm just sad that this will be our last day together."
"Wait, what?"
"Mary has made sure our game gets unplugged tomorrow and I am being forced to stay there when it does. We'll never see each other again," I was holding back tears.
So was Candy. Until we both just hugged each other and just let our tears fall. I hate the thought of leaving him but I have no choice. We've become such good friends and now we'll never see each other again. He's helped me overcome my fears and made me feel important. It's all been a waste of time. We separated the hug and he wiped my tears away.
"I don't want to go," I whispered sobbing.
"I don't want you to go either. But it'th your choice, (Y/N)," Candy said.
"No. No, it's not. Mary is waiting for me to come back. She will search for me if I don't show up. I have no choice!"
Candy hugged me again.
"I'll never forget you, (Y/N)," Candy said, "you mean the world to me. I'll keep all your belongingth, I'll take care of your pet thnail, I'll make thure never to forget you because you are an amazing person. You've changed my perthpective of the world."
"I'm glad I've done so much. Maybe pass it down to someone else. Someone new," I said, "and I'm letting you keep everything even though I think they're all meaningless."
"Nothing ith meaningleth to me. Ethpecially if they once belonged to thomeone I care about more than anything."
I smiled. Because he did it so much to me, I kissed him on the cheek. The first time I've done this to anyone. We looked at each other. I asked him if I should give the dress back but he insisted I keep it. Then I will. I'll even wear it when we get unplugged. May as well take something that reminds me of him with me. We shared one last hug and I went back to Mary Poppins. I'll miss my King Candy.
King Candy's POV:
I watched her leave the castle. When did this all happen? And why didn't she tell me what Mary Poppins did to their game? I wiped my tears away and looked away. I never even got the chance to confess my love for her. I know she wouldn't think I would because of our different statuses but that doesn't stop me from loving her. I've never loved anyone as much as I love her ever. I wish she would stay with me. She walked out the doors. I'll never see her again.
'I wath the one who had it all. I wath the master of my fate. I never needed anybody in my life. I learned the truth too late. I'll never thake away the pain. I clothe my eyeth but she'th thtill there. I let her thteal into my melancholy heart. It'th more than I can bear,' I looked back at the doors.
'Now I know she'll never leave me, even ath she runth away,' I made my way up the stairs, 'she will thtill torment me, calm me, hurt me, move me, come what may. Wathting in my lonely tower. Waiting by an open door,' I looked out a window, 'I'll fool myself, she'll walk right in and be with me for evermore!'
'I rage againtht the trialth of love. I curthe the fading of the light. Though she'th already flown so far beyond my reach,' I found myself at a balcony where I watched her walk away, 'She'th never out of thight!'
'Now I know she'll never leave me, even ath she fadeth from view! She will thtill inthpire me, be a part of everything I do! Wathting in my lonely tower. Waiting by an open door. I'll fool myself, she'll walk right in and ath the long, long nighth begin,' I stood up on the banister, 'I'll think of all that might have been. Waiting here for evermore!'
