My Vaniro One-Shot Collection

She's a Nerd

If you've already read this one (it's on here), then this'll be proofread (like I said in the summary), but it's the same thing. I also changed a part closer to the end of this though (I thought "Never Even Really Did" was a little too dumb).

"Did she have to come?" Hiro asked as he and Vanellope walked into his school; San Frantokyo Institute of Technology. Behind them wandered Tafftya, Vanellope's friend since 5th grade and the "she" within Hiro's complaint.

Hiro had met and befriended Vanellope in the Cafe his aunt owned (which doubled as a living space, since he lived in two floors above it). They hadn't clicked automatically; Hiro had actually caught Vanellope trying to pick another customer's pocket. Instead of calling her out automatically and causing chaos in the shop, Hiro coughed and looked Vanellope in the eye, to which Vanellope sheepishly responded to by slipping the wallet back in the customer's back pocket. He pulled her to the back of the shop and had her wait there until the police came. She didn't beg for him to be silent about it. She just sat on the counter, crossed her arms self-assuredly, and waited. At first, Hiro thought her indifference to the situation was because he was the only witness, but it turned out not to be the case. When the police arrived, they simply sighed a thank you to Hiro and left with a warning for Vanellope to, of all things, take her medication. With that, they left. Hiro, confused, decided to talk to Vanellope. Amongst learning her passion for race car driving and video games, Hiro learned she had kleptomania, the reason why the police decided not to arrest her. After that, Hiro learned to keep an eye on her. Which lead to them often talking, which also lead to their friendship.

Well, that had occurred only a year ago. Taffyta Muttonfudge and Vanellope Von Schweetz had a much longer history. And Taffyta was... overprotective, no matter how many times she denied it. She made Hiro always feel under deep scrutinization when she was around. But, like he said, Taffyta was Vanellope's best friend so, it was hard to prevent Vanellope from inviting her along to anything.

Vanellope was applying for schools, and Hiro begged and begged for her to at least come and take a look at the school. Vanellope finally gave in under one condition; Taffyta came along.

Hence her answer to Hiro's complaint being, "A doy."

Hiro rolled his eyes and looked to the right of him at Taffyta at the end of their three person line. It resulted in the colliding of narrow-eyed gazes. Hiro cringed; of course.

Hiro decided he had to try and shake her off; Vanellope was here and that was all that mattered. He introduced her to all his friends: Gogo (to which Vanellope responded to her electromagnetic disks with a "Oo, gimme the heads up when you're done. That'll make a wicked race car."), Wasabi ("Superman says keep going; then you can make glasses so you can shoot the lazers out of your eyes. Then all you have to do is find the right underpants!"), Honey Lemon ("The pinkness dyed my hair some more."), and Fred ("Oh you poor, poor child.").

Hiro knew when Vanellope acted like that, she wasn't being serious. He saw her at one of her race competitions; Vanellope could definitely mean business. Hiro sighed in defeat. He'd really liked the idea of Vanellope going to his school. She'd already brought her Vanellope Candy joy to his work when she came. He really had hoped...

Vanellope caught the look of defeat on Hiro's face. They were in his office, where they'd stopped for a break. Vanellope and Taffyta had been talking about their next race meet when she had.

" 'naw, you going ta miss me when I go to my meet?" Vanellope teased.

Hiro laughed lightly.

"Miss what; you're name calling or your pick-pocketing?" Hiro teased back.
