(Y/n's POV)

Vanellope and I watch as Ralph puts the finishing touch on Vanellope's new kart. He writes "AND RALPH" in red frosting under the turquoise writing "made by Vanellope" and (f/c) writing "and (Y/n)." He smiles, something I don't think I've ever seen him do since I met him. Vanellope seems to notice the same thing.

"Woah, what? You have teeth? I don't think I've ever seen you smile before," she says.

"I'm not smiling. It was. . . I'm gassy, okay?" Ralph defends himself.

"Uh-huh, sure," I tease him, and we all three laugh. "And to think, Vanellope, soon you'll be having the time of your life. You're so lucky."

"You've played Sugar Rush, haven't you?" Ralph asks me.

"Well, yes. I played it all the time with my dad. But I would often wish I could experience it in real life, as if I were actually in the game. I would try to imagine the exhilarating feeling of the wind in my hair as I played, the excitement of having adventure in my life," I explain.

"Is life not that fun in the human world?" Vanellope asks me.

"Sometimes, yeah, it can be. Yet there are days when things can get boring. But now that I'm here, my wish for adventure is coming true. I just wonder what it'd be like to be in the race," I say.

The moment is ruined when we hear the garage door open, and King Candy, Wynnchel, and Duncan come running in!

"Hold it right there, glitch!" King Candy shouts, and he gasps in shock when he sees me and Ralph. "And Wreck-It Ralph and (Y/n)?"

"We're busted!" I cry out.

"Uh-oh," Ralph says, and sprays some frosting at King Candy and the donut cops, knocking King Candy down.

I don't know why, but seeing that made me worry. Ralph places Vanellope in the driver's seat and hops on the back, then grabs me by my shoulders and places me on his left knee.

"Start the kart! Start the kart!" Ralph tells Vanellope, but she doesn't do anything. "What are you waiting for? Come on, let's go!"

Vanellope looks up at us with a nervous smile.

"I, uh, don't know. . . how to drive a real kart," she says.

     "You don't what?" I ask in disbelief.

     She's gotta be kidding. She has dreamed of being a racer, and she doesn't even know how to drive?! If we get arrested, I'm holding this kid personally responsible! I see King Candy standing up and wiping the glaze off of himself.

     "Are you hurt, sire?" Duncan asks him.

     "No, he just glazed me," King Candy replies, and chuckles at his joke before pointing at us. "Get them!"

     "Gangway!" Ralph shouts.

     Vanellope and I scream when Ralph uses his hands to move the kart at a great speed, and I grip his overall strap when we head for the window. We crash right through, and we pick up speed as Ralph hand-pedals by the toll booth.

"Stop in the name of the king; that's me!" King Candy yells.

"I said I wanted to be in a car race, not a car chase!" I shout as I grip Ralph's overall strap to the point where I could feel my fingernails digging into my palms.

"Get off the road!" Vanellope shouts to Ralph.

Ralph digs a hand into the ground, causing us to turn sharply. Unfortunately, the turn was too sharp and my grip on Ralph's overall strap wasn't tight enough, and I scream as I end up flying off his knee!

"(Y/n)!" I hear Vanellope yell.

I hit the ground hard a few times before hitting my head. Darkness completely takes over after that. I can only hope that Ralph and Vanellope will be okay.

(Ralph's POV)

"Head for Diet Cola Mountain!" Vanellope shouts.

I see a towering mountain shaped like a Coke bottle a short distance away, and I hand-pedal the kart in that direction.

"Drive into the wall!" she shouts.

I look at her like she's crazy.

"What?" I shout.

"Right there, between the two sugar-free lollipops!" she shouts.

"Are you crazy?" I shout, thinking this kid is gonna be the death of me.

"Just do it!" she shouts.

I do what she says, and I scream as we get closer to the wall. Just as I brace myself for the impact, the wall pixelates and we go right through. The kart ends up crashing into a rock, and I tumble out of it.

(King Candy's POV)

Wynnchel, Duncan, and I stop by Diet Cola Mountain. I lift up my goggles, not understanding what just happened. We were right on their tail!

"Where'd they go? Maybe they've just turned," I say before looking at Wynnchel and Duncan. "Find that glitch! Destroy that kart! She can't be allowed to race!"

I start to drive back to my castle, but then I stop when I see something. I hop out of my kart to get a closer look, and I see that it's (Y/n). Worried, I hurry to her side. There are scrapes and bruises on her arms and legs, and she has a nasty purple-and-blue bruise on her forehead. Fearing the worst, I place two fingers against her neck to check for a pulse. Thankfully, I feel it. She must've been flung off the kart and knocked unconscious when Wreck-It Ralph and Vanellope made that turn. I'm not sure why, but something about this girl has sparked my interest the moment I met her. I decide to bring her back to my castle to help her.
