In Ponyville …

Vanellope's POV

It's race day. Pinkie Pie gave me bucket-loads of candy to fuel up my race car. I put the candy where fuel normally goes and I was ready. As I'm driving my kart through Ponyville, everyone stared at me. Rainbow Dash had chosen a place for me to use my kart as well as plenty of room for her to fly. The place is called Ghastly Gorge. We got up to the starting line and I saw a Pegasus on the other side of Rainbow Dash. The Pegasus had a dark blue mane with red streaks in it. It had a blue coat with a sonic cone with a red lightning streak through it for its picture.

"Hey Sonic Lightning, ya ready?" Sonic Lightning nodded.

"Ya ready Vanellope?" I nodded and revved up my kart.

"Ready. Set. GO!" Twilight called. She then flashed off to the finish line.

The two Pegasus took off and I glitched with my car to the front. I'm in first place. I always feel comfortable when I'm first. Sonic Lightning pulled ahead of me as I dodge around rocks and boulders that were in my path. Rainbow Dash started pulling ahead of me. I got mad and randomly started glitching. I glitched on top of a rock, almost on top of Sonic Lightning, I almost managed to get eaten by some rock-eel-like things and I managed to glitch ahead of the competition.

I checked behind me and I saw Rainbow Dash get mad. I saw her start to go faster and faster with each wing beat. She got so fast that she broke the sound barrier and sped away. I heard a ridiculously loud BOOM and a rainbow-coloured streak zoomed ahead of me. I checked back behind me again and Sonic Lightning started to get faster and faster with each wing beat. 'Oh, crud' He sped up and streaked away as he, too, broke the sound barrier. I glitched and managed to catch up to them. Rainbow Dash was still speeding and Sonic Lightning was not far behind her. I'm still a little bit behind them both but at least I'm keeping up. My car revved up from all that candy that was put in its fuel tank and I started to speed. I got so much speed that I broke the sound barrier and headed off in front of them.

The finish line's in sight and as I'm just about to cross it Rainbow Dash speeds up as another rainbow-coloured streak flies by me. I managed to just come second with Sonic Lightning a close third. This is the only time that I've come second. My wheels and engine were smoking by the time I stopped. 'I hope I'll be able to fix it.'

"Okay, I want a rematch!" I said to Rainbow Dash.

"Maybe another time kid."

"That was intense!" Sonic Lightning said.

"Yes it was very close. Why don't we retire to my library?" Twilight flashed off and Rainbow Dash followed more slowly.

"Which way is Ponyville?" I asked Sonic Lightning. He pointed in the direction that Ponyville lay. I hopped back in my car and sped off. 'It's still in good condition. I'll have to check it when I get back to Sugarcube Corner.' I left Sonic Lightning in the dust and headed off to Ponyville.

In Game Central Station...

Ralph's POV

I had just finished with Bad-Anon and was heading to Tapper's to drown my sorrows in a mug of beer. A flurry of activity was going on in the Station.

"What's happening here?" I asked Q*Bert. Q*Bert responded in his unintelligible language that only Felix can understand. 'Okay, no help there. I'll just ask Tapper when I get there.' I went to Tapper's game entrance and waited for the train to come by to collect me. I hopped into the all-too-small compartment and went to Tapper's. I sat down at one of the long bars in the arcade game and waited for Tapper to come by. He showed up after what seemed like an hour but it was only a few minutes.

"Choose your poison." He laughed at his joke. I only laughed half-heartedly.

"I'm just kidding. What you wanna drink Ralph?"

"I'll have the usual."

"So what's on your mind?" He asked as he served me my drink.

"I'm still thinking about Vanellope but when I was coming into your game entrance I saw a whole lot of activity in the Station. Do you know what's going on?"

"Yeah, something about Vanellope missing and that weird game entrance she found. You said that she just glitched out of existence right before your eyes?"

"I thought I only told Felix. How do you know?"

"I know a guy." He tapped his nose and smirked. I'm about to say something to him but he went away and served drinks to the other customers.

"You were saying?" He asked as he came back to me.

"Oh nothing. I have to use the bathroom." I got up and went into the bathroom. After I finished in the bathroom I went to the Lost and Found room. It's interesting to see what other people forget. As I looked into the box I saw a green racing suit. 'Could that be Vanellope's? What's it doing here?' I picked it up, tucked it into my overalls and walked back out. I spotted Tapper and called him over.

"Hey can I speak to you in private for a minute?"

"Yeah sure, wait, hang on a minute." I waited as he served some more drinks. He gestured for me to follow him and I followed into his private office. I could barely fit in there so I had to duck through the doorway and I managed to squeeze inside without breaking anything. I saw Tapper cringe as I struggled through the doorway. He sighed in relief as he saw that I hadn't broken anything. He closed the door behind me, sat down, and gestured for me to speak. I pulled out Vanellope's racing suit.

"Where did you get that?"

"I found it in the Lost and Found room. Do you know what it's doing there?"

"Yeah. I went outside my game to clear my head and I just saw it lying close to a game entrance that had no name above it."

"That's where Vanellope disappeared."

"Really? Then why was it lying around there? Hmm. It's a mystery all right." I had nothing to say to that. I grabbed the suit back from him, tucked it into my overalls and squeezed outside. I walked through the bar and out to the train station. I hopped onto the train and headed back to Game Central Station. Surge Protector showed up.

"Name?"

"Wreck-It Ralph"

"Which game are you coming from?"

"Tapper's"

"Any fruit to declare?"

"No"

"Which game are you going to?"

"Fix-It Felix Jr."

"Anything else to declare?"

"Nope. Except that I hate you."

"I get that all the time. Proceed" He flashed out and I could get through to Game Central Station. The same activity that happened before I went into Tapper's is still going on.

"Does anyone know what's happening here?" I asked loudly. Felix came up to me and said:

"I think we found her."

"What?" I walked through the crowd and I saw someone lying on the ground. The person had a green hoodie, much like Vanellope's, and had candy-filled hair.

"It's not her."

"Huh?"

"It's not her. Look at the size. Clearly it's much too big to be her."

"But-"

"Enough. I'm going back to my home." With that I walked towards Fix-It Felix Jr. I got on the train, got off at the station and who would I meet? Sergeant Calhoun.

"Hi."

"Hi." That's it. I walked past her and went to my dump of a home.

In Ponyville …

Twilight's Library …

Vanellope's POV

"You wanted us all to meet you here?"

"Yes I did. I have something very important to tell you all." Before she could elaborate on that fact a turquoise Unicorn came rushing in.

"Twilight! You're needed up at the Castle. Something big is going down!"
