Multiple videos of Ralph began going viral, and the big screen showed one of Ralph accidentally burning himself after trying to make pie. "This man is on fire! Literal and figurative fire!" Yesss told a crowd, dressed like a female dictator. "But he still needs 200 million hearts in the next five hours or these beautiful children lose their game! That's why I'm onto phase 2! You! My elite pop-up army, I need you out there popping up and getting clicks all over the internet. I'm talking Tumblr, Instagram, Mashable! Be my Pied Pipers, and lead that beautiful traffics of BuzzTube, because Wreck-It Ralph needs his hearts!" Yesss shouted. "Man, oh, man, that looks so fun!" Vanellope beamed. "Yesss, can (Y/n) and I be pop-ups?" Vanellope asked. "I don't know," Yesss replied. "Can you two be annoyingly aggressive?" "I don't know. Can we? Can we? Can we? Can we? Can we? Can we? Can we? Can we?" Vanellope smirked. "Oh, yes. You're perfect! Here!" Yesss said, handing them pop-us.  "Thank you~" Vanellope smirked, walking off with it in victory. "Hey, if you two are going, I wanna go." Ralph pouted. "No, baby," Yesss told him. "You gotta stay here and be my movie star." She said. "What? No, no, no, no," Ralph replied. "Me and the kids are like shoes and socks. Or peanut butter and bacon. One cannot exist without the other. Go on, kids. Tell her." Ralph said. "It's true," Vanellope agreed. "In fact, it's so true that we will be fine if we're apart for a minute." She added. ""B-But-" Ralph pouted. "Come on, pal. It's our game we're trying to save," Vanellope told him. "We just wanna get out there and be useful." "Without me?" Ralph asked. "What if you get lost? You're just kids!" "Oh, and you're some mature adult?" (Y/n) rolled her eyes. "I'm bigger." Ralph defended. "Don't be insecure, big fella. They're not gonna get lost, I promise," Yesss soothed. "They'll be in my personal web browser. And your app comes with BuzzzFace, so you can keep in touch anywhere on the internet." She said.

"See? We'll be fine." Vanellope smiled as they came to take a ride. "I know, I just-..." Ralph sighed. "We haven't been apart in, like, six years. I'm going to miss you two." He said. "You'll be fine, too," Vanellope smiled. "The more hearts your videos get, the faster we'll get the wheel, and then we can go home. We'll be celebrating at Tapper's this time tomorrow, buddy." She said. "Be careful, huh? Don't be dummies!" Ralph called out to the kids before looking to Yesss. "So where exactly are you sending them?" "Well, since the candy girls comes from an arcade game, I'm thinking she'd be good in the gaming district." Yesss replied, showing a globe. "Oh, no, no, no, no, no," Ralph said, spinning the globe a bit after seeing Slaughter Race. "Bad idea. Those games are dangerous. And they rot your brain. Why don't we send them somewhere a little more, totally different from that and nowhere near there?" "Let's see. Family-Friendly Fansites, that sounds safe," Ralph suggested. "And they are technically princesses, so how about this one here with the sweet little pink castle?" "I love it!" Yesss smiled. "Okay, I'll redirect our newest pop-ups to 'OhMyDisney. com'!" Vanellope and (Y/n) rode off to the popular Disney blog as the song Let it Go was playing. "Jeez-Louise, this place is bonkers!" Vanellope commented. "Oh, come on!" (Y/n) complained. "Princesses and cartoon characters? Lame." "Hey... Easy there..." Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh said. "Oh. I mean, no offense or anything." (Y/n) smiled, petting him. "Time to get to work!" "and for your final question, my friend would describe me as?" A quiz question asked. "Smart, funny, kind, or brave. Kind, I guess?" The girl asked, pushing the king option. "Based on your answers, your princess BFF is, Snow White!" Snow White then appeared. "I do believe our friendship will be the fairest of them all." She sung as the girl jumped.

"Hey, wanna meet our BFF? It's Wreck-lt Ralph. Click here to see his new video. Thank you!" Vanellope said as the person clicked the pop up. "In Captain America: The First Avenger, Red Skull refers to Yggdrasil, the World Tree, guardian of wisdom and faith. Are we to believe, sir, that you are a descendant of that tree?" A fan asked. "I am Groot." Groot responded. "Okay. Okay, thank you very much." The fan walked away as another one approached. "What is Drax really like?" She asked. "I am Groot." Groot replied. "Thank you." She left. "Are you a conifer or a fruit berry tree?" Yet another fan asked. "Excuse me, I'll take this one. He is Groot, I am (Y/n). Click here to meet Wreck-It Ralph! This is almost too easy." (Y/n) said smugly. A trio soon turned to them which were Storm Troopers from Star Wars. "You have a permit for that pop-up?" The first Storm Trooper glared. "Uh..." Vanellope said. "That's unauthorized clickbait. You're coming with us, kids." Vanellope used the pop up to send him away and they ran off, blending in with the crowd, passing by Star Wars characters. They ran behind some curtains, passing by Nick Wilde from Zootopia as he ate an ice cream cone. "Hey! Can't you read?" Grumpy glared, having a snack with Peter Pan's shadow and Hei-Hei the chicken. "Cast members only!" He shouted. (Y/n) and Vanellope quickly glitch through a door to hide. The group inside of the room looked at them. "Um... hi?" Vanellope waved. The group glared, holding out weapons. "Whoa, whoa, ladies, I can explain! See, um..." Vanellope said nervously. "We... we're princesses too." She said. "Wait, what?" Anna asked. "Yeah. Princess Vanellope and (Y/n) von Schweetz of the, uh... Sugar Rush von Schweetzes? I'm sure you've heard of us. It'd be embarrassing for you if you haven't." Vanellope giggled nervously.

"What kind of princesses are you two?" Pocahontas asked. "What kind?" (Y/n) repeated. ""Do you have magic hair?" Rapunzel smiled. "No." (Y/n) said. "Magic hands?" Elsa smirked. "No." (Y/n) said again. "Do animals talk to you?" Cinderella asked. "No." (Y/n) said. "Were you two poisoned?" Snow White asked. "No!" (Y/n) said, a bit annoyed. "Cursed?" Tiana and Aurora asked. "No!" (Y/n) said. "Kidnapped or enslaved?" Rapunzel and Belle asked. "No! Are you guys okay? Should I call the police?" (Y/n) replied. "Then I have to assume you made a deal with an underwater sea witch, where she took your voice in exchange for a pair of human legs?!" Ariel asked Vanellope as she kicked one up of her legs in the air with a smile. "No! Good Lord, who would do that?" Vanellope flinched. "Have you ever had true love's kiss?" Snow White smiled. "Eww, barf!" (Y/n) groaned. "Do you have daddy issues?" Jasmine asked. "We don't even have a mom." Vanellope replied. "Neither do we!" Half of the Princesses said. "And now for the million dollar question. Do people assume all your problems got solved because a big strong man showed up?" Rapunzel asked. "Yes! What is up with that?" Vanellope agreed. "They are princesses!" All of them said.  "Who made your gowns?" Snow White asked the girls. "I've never seen anything quite like them." Cinderella added. "Oh, these old things?" Vanellope asked, referring to their hoodies. "I'd so love to have one of my own." Snow White said. "As would I." Cinderella agreed. "Me too!" Aurora said. "I want one too, you guys." Ariel gushed. "I'll get my mice on this." Cinderella added. Eventually, the Disney Princesses had their own outfits, thanks to Cinderella's mouse friends which were basically like their own clothes, but a bit of a modern look. "Oh... So this is love..." Cinderella smiled as she sprawled in a beanbag chair. "All hail Princess Vanellope and (Y/n). The Queens of Comfy." The others cheered. "Of all the thingamabobs in this entire world, I never thought I'd get to wear a real... What's it called again? Oh, yeah. A shirt." Ariel smiled as she looked down to her shirt while Belle read a book beside her. A spotlight shined on the former mermaid princess. "I once had a dream that I might wear a shirt~" Ariel began to sing. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Wait. What's going on?" (Y/n) asked.

"Uh, she's singing." Jasmine said. "Yeah, but there was, like, music and the spotlight and... Wait, you all saw it, too, right?" Vanellope asked. "That's what happens when a princess sings about her dreams." Tiana said. "Oh, that's never happened to me or (Y/n), I mean, not even once." Vanellope said. "Why don't you give it a try? What is it you really want? Sing about that." Rapunzel suggested. "I'll do it!" (Y/n) suggested, standing up. "Oh, steering wheel, oh, steering wheel. Oh, yes, I want a steering wheel. "Well, there's a lot to unpack here," Belle added as she closed her book. "So, this steering wheel you sing of, that's a metaphor?" "Oh, no, no, no, no. It's not a metaphor," Vanellope told her. "It's just, we literally want a steering wheel." She said. "I think the issue was I was a little pitchy." (Y/n) said. "Maybe a little," Mulan said. "But sometimes, your song can't start until you go someplace to reflect." "What works for some of us is finding a form of water and staring at it." Pocahontas advised. Meeko nodded in agreement. "What?" (Y/n) gasped. ""Oh, yes," Snow White smiled. "I like to stare at a wishing well." "I stare at the ocean." Moana said. "Horse trough." Mulan added. "Soap bubbles." Cinderella smiled. "So, wait, you're saying if I just stare at some water-" Vanellope began. "Ah. Important water." Ariel reminded. "Right, of course, important water," Vanellope nodded before she continued. "I stare at the important water, and somehow magically, I'll start singing about my dream?" She asked in disbelief. The princesses nodded. ""I don't think so, ladies, but thanks." Vanellope shrugged. There was then a knock at the door and a certain golden robot known as C-3PO appeared at the door. "Five minutes, Princesses," he then told them all. "Another 'Which Disney Princess are you?' quiz starts in five minutes." The Princesses groaned, but thanked him. "Well, I guess it's back to the gowns, girls." Tiana told the others. "And best of luck to you two for finding your song." Belle wished. "Ack! Lang may yer lum reek, and may a moose ne'er leave yer girnal with a tear drop in his eye!" Merida then added. "Haste Ye Back, Me Lassies!" Merida said. "What did she just say?" (Y/n) asked. "We don't know." Tiana said. "We can't understand her." Moana said. "She's from the other studio." Anna said. "Ah." Vanellope said. Some time later, Vanellope and (Y/n) were staring into some water, feeling uninspired. "Come on, song. Come on. We're reflecting." Vanellope said. "What is it that we want? What is our quest? What is our dream?~..." she then groaned. "Well, at least I tried. No song for these princesses, I guess." She said. Vanellope said before gasping as she felt a buzzing in her pockets, taking out the app as she was being given a call from Ralph. "Huh? ...How does this thing work?" she tried to open it up. Ralph soon appeared on a hologram. "Hey, guys, can you see me?" Ralph asked. "Yeah, you're right there." (Y/n) smiled back. "I did it! I got the money!" Ralph said. ""No way, Ralph!" Vanellope smiled. "That's great!" "I'm on my way to eBay right now with eBoy." Ralph said. "We're almost there, champ." The messenger replied. "Good work, eBoy," Ralph smiled. "Meet me out in front of eBay in five minutes, okay?" "Okay, we'll see you soon." (Y/n) replied. "We're going home, kids!Our lives could finally get back to normal." Ralph shouted in celebration. "We get to go home sis." (Y/n) smiled, but it seemed fake. "Yeah..." Vanellope said softly. "So I guess that's it. I guess we just wanted a steering wheel." Vanellope said, a little broken as she stared into the water puddle. "And now we got it, so, woo-hoo." Vanellope said. Vanellope sighed as she had a lot to think about. Something amazing soon happened to the young racers. "Slaughter Race...?" Vanellope muttered as she wandered around the new game until a spotlight shined on them.

~Just imagine whatever lines of Vanellope's your character sings in the song~

Meanwhile

"You want to get rich playing video games?" A familiar voice asked. "Click here to f-Oh, Ralph. Ralph! What's the good word, brother?" Spamley asked. "The good word is I just paid for the steering wheel, and we are going home." Ralph said. "Congratulations." Spamley smiled. "Now I just need to find the girls, so we can get moving!" Ralph added. "You haven't seen them, have you?" He asked. "Your friends?" Spamley replied. "No, no, I haven't." "Hope they're not lost," Ralph said before taking out the app to call them. "I'm gonna try to reach them on this doohickey." Meanwhile, Shank was showing them he parts of Slaughter Race, unaware that Ralph had tried to call them, but he was muted, so they didn't notice him. "See over there? Over that mountain?" Shank pointed out. "Yeah?" Vanellope replied. "That's the Sequoia Speedway," Shank told them. "It's gonna be unlocked next month." Shank said. "Hey!" Ralph glared, seeing Shank, (Y/n) and Vanellope together. "What are you two doing in that awful game with her?" "Right over there," Shank pointed out. "It's gonna be so tight." "I love it," (Y/n) smiled. "Uh... Can I tell you something that I don't think I could ever tell Ralph?" "Of course." Shank allowed. "I know it sounds crazy, but the second I walked into this game, It felt... Well, it felt like home," Vanellope confessed. "More than Sugar Rush ever did." She said. "Oh, yeah? How so?" Shank asked the girl. "'Cuz it's like my dream. It's full of weirdos, and the racing is super dangerous, and you never know what's gonna happen next," Vanellope smiled before sighing softly. "Back home, I know exactly what's gonna happen next because Ralph's dream is to do the same thing every day." Vanellope said. "Here's something I wish I'd learned years ago," she said. "There is no law saying best friends has to have the same dreams." She said. (Y/n) smiled at her. "Whoa... Yeah. You are a very wise person, Shank," Vanellope smiled. "And a good friend, too. Thank you." Vanellope said. "Around here, peeps like to say 'Shank you'." Shank smirked, playfully hitting her arm. ""Well then, shank you." (Y/n) said. Vanellope and Shank chuckled. "You know, after you go home, and your life gets back to normal, you're always welcome here." Shank advised Vanellope. "But that's the thing, I want this to be my normal." Vanellope replied. "I want this to be my life. I can't go home now. I just can't." Vanellope said. "Me either. I want to stay too." (Y/n) said. Ralph hung up as he looked heartbroken. "Wow... You know, where I come from, that's called a kick in the face." Spamley said softly. "I can't believe it." Ralph sulked. "Straight up donkey kick to the teeth." Spamley continued. "They're supposed to be my best friends. No, this can't be right. No, they've been brainwashed! That's what this is. 'Cuz the girls I know would never abandon me like that. I gotta get them out of there right now." "Whoa! Easy now, tiger! I admire the impulse, but you charge in there like some White Knight, they're likely to hold it against you." "So what, I'm supposed to let them stay in the game that's obviously bad for them?" Ralph asked. "Of course not." Spamley said. "Then how do I make them leave?" Ralph rolled his eyes. "They think it's so cool and exciting in there-" he suddenly had an idea. "Unless you know how to make a game boring or- Wait. You know about viruses and stuff. Right, Spamley?" Ralph asked. "Who's asking?" Spamley asked suspiciously. "Back home, me and the kids use to goof off in this game called 'Tron', but then it got a virus that made the motorbikes go slow and then they stopped wanting to hang out there," Ralph explained before looking to Spamley. "So, do you know a way to do something like that to Slaughter Race?" "Oh, there's ways..." Spamley nodded mysteriously. "Follow me."

Chapter 5

"Well, that's game." Pyro said after Vanellope scored in basketball. "Beginner's luck." Vanellope shrugged. "Come on, kid. I know a hustle when I see one." Debbie said. "Players on the way." Bob announced. "Thanks, Bob. Let's roll! It's show time. You two ready for your first race?" Shank asked. "Yeah. I think so." (Y/n) said as she glitched. "Don't get nervous. You're gonna be great." Shank said. "I know, I know. We'll be fine." Vanellope said. "You didn't tell Ralph yet, did you?" Shank asked. "Not exactly." (Y/n) said. "Come on, girls, he's your best friend. You gotta let him know you're planning on staying here for a while." Shank said. "We know, but he's gonna get really upset." Vanellope said. "Yeah, he might, but you guys will talk, you'll work it out. You'll figure it out." Shank said. "Yeah, but what if we don't? What if his feelings get hurt so bad he won't wanna be our friend anymore?" (Y/n) frowned. "Look. All friendships change. But the good ones, they get stronger because of it." Shank said. "Shank, I hate to bother you, but the player is waiting." Butcher Boy said. "I'm not gonna tell you what to do, kids. It's your call." Shank said. "Okay." Vanellope said. "Alright. Let's race!" Shank said. Vanellope jumped into the green car, and (Y/n) jumped into the (F/c) car. "Precious Car-Go! Deliver the car to Bert's Chop Shop. But watch out for Shank and her crew!" The announcer said. Shank was crashing into the player's car as they drove by. Then suddenly Vanellope appeared from the right and (Y/n) from the left. The player screamed and drove backwards. "Power drift into a drift jump! I saw it. You two are amazing!" Shank said. "Thank you!" (Y/n) smiled. "Looks like we're not finished. Come on, girls." Shank drove off. (Y/n) suddenly stopped when she saw a Ralph figure. "Ralph?!" She drove the car over. "(Y/n)?" Vanellope asked, then gasped as she saw what her sister saw. "Relax, relax. I'll just call him after the race. Ralph will be fine." (Y/n) said as she began to glitch. Then suddenly everything else began to glitch as well. "What is happening?" Vanellope panicked. "Come on, kids. The game's crashing. Let's go!" Shank said. "I think it's my glitch! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to destroy your game!" (Y/n) shouted. "We'll be fine but your codes aren't part of this game! We've gotta get you two out of here now! Follow me to the exit." Shank said. (Y/n) gasped as a building crashed. "Oh no!" She shouted. But it was too late as she crashed into it. "(Y/N)!" She heard Vanellope scream before she blacked out. "Come on, kids. Wake up." Ralph said as he held the girls in one of his hands. "Ralph?" They both asked as they woke up. "There you are. You okay, kids?" Ralph asked. "Ralph. We messed up so bad." (Y/n) cried. "No. No, you didn't. It's okay." Ralph said. "It's all because of me and my glitch. I should've just stayed with you instead of following some stupid dream! I've ruined everything!" (Y/n) began to sob as she hugged him. "No, kid. No. Look, I didn't mean for it to happen like this. It's not supposed to be this bad." Ralph said. (Y/n) stopped sobbing and looked at him in confusion. "You didn't mean for what to happen?" Vanellope asked suspiciously. "I might have, kind of, sort of put a harmless little virus in the game." Ralph said. "A virus? You did this?" (Y/n) asked. "I wouldn't have done anything if I hadn't heard you tell Shank that you want to live in Slaughter Race forever." Ralph snapped. "So you were spying on us?" Vanellope asked angrily.

"You aren't exactly innocent here. You two were gonna ditch everybody and abandon Sugar Rush!" Ralph shouted. "We're one of 16 racers. They'd never miss us." (Y/n) said. "What about me?" Ralph asked. "Why would we ever spend another second with you after what you did?" Vanellope asked angrily. Vanellope glared, ripping off his medal and throwing it over the edge. "No!" Ralph yelped as he tried to grab his medal, but it was flying down. "Girls, where are you going?" "Wherever you're not." (Y/n) glared. "Wait a minute. I can explain-" "No! You will not follow us!" "Vanellope, please!" "A friend would never do what you did. Never! So you leave us alone!" (Y/n) shouted.  "(Y/n), no, no, no, please! Please?" Vanellope and (Y/n) stormed off. Vanellope and (Y/n) wandered off, and soon saw Ralph which angered them. "What is your problem, Ralph? I told you, don'tfollow us!" "Friends?" Ralph said, in a kind of scary voice. "Cut that out," (Y/n) said, uneasily. "You're scaring me." "Friends!" Ralph looked like he was glitching...and followed by other copies. "Sweet mother of Ralph!" Vanellope shrieked. "In breaking news, the internet is under assault as a massive denial-of-service attack crashes servers across the web," A woman said on the news in a screen high above. "The Wreck-it-Ralph virus is fast moving and destructive." The army of Ralph viruses saw Vanellope and (Y/n) which made them run away. Some of the Ralphs jumped down to chase them. "I found 130 results for 'Where does my high school girlfriend live now?'," KnowsMore sighed as he was currently helping someone. "You're welcome." "Mr. KnowsMore!" Vanellope cried out as she and her sister ran up to him. "Oh, delightful! You're one of those courteous little children who say 'please' and 'thank you'," KnowsMore smiled. "What can KnowsMore help you find today?" He asked. (Y/n) panted until she caught her breath. "There's a whole-" "Whole Foods? A hole in the ozone? Whole Lotta Love by British rockers, Led Zeppelin?" KnowsMore asked. "No! There's a whole bunch of Ralphs chasing us!" Vanellope told him. "This would probably be an appropriate time for me to shelter my site." KnowsMore said, grabbing the cover to protect himself, but it was slow. (Y/n) grabbed it and pulled it down with him. "How long you think before they get in here?" (Y/n) asked. "Precisely one second." And in that moment the door opened and the three of them quickly began throwing books at Ralph. "Hey, it's me! It's the real me!" Ralph shouted. "Ralph?" The girls asked. "My apologies." KnowsMore smiled smugly. "I followed those things here. I think they're looking for you, kids!" Ralph said. "Yeah, you think? What did you do?" (Y/n) asked. "I'm so sorry! I don't know how this happened!" Ralph said. "Well, I think it's fairly obvious," KnowsMore informed. "It happened because an insecurity virus cloned all of your needy, clingy, self destructive behavior, the very behavior which left unchecked can destroy friendships and in this particular case, the entire internet!" He shouted. "KnowsMore! You have all the answers," Ralph said. "Official query: What do I do if clones of me are trying to capture my friends? Search." KnowsMore began to load and then had an answer. "I found two results for your query," he said. "Either you put all of your clones in therapy, very unrealistic, or the Anti-Virus District is surrounded by a gate, made from security software," he added, opening up a book to show them what he was talking about. "If Vanellope and (Y/n) could somehow lead all the clones to the gate, they would be deleted all at once!" KnowsMore said. "Sort of a co-dependent Pied Piper situation." KnowsMore told them. "Wait. We know a Pied Piper!" Vanellope smiled. "We do?" Ralph asked. "Yes!" Vanellope smiled. "Who?" Ralph asked. "Yesss." Vanellope told him. "Yeah, but who is it?" Ralph replied. The girls just gave him a deadpanned look. "Oh! You mean Yesss!" Ralph smiled.

They contacted Yesss and they rode away from KnowsMore. "Thanks for your help, KnowsMore!" Ralph called out. "It's a bit of an empty gesture at this point, wouldn't you say?" KnowsMore sighed. "Guess I forgot to tell Ralph that when you 'break' the internet you don't literally have to break the internet." Yesss grumbled. "I can't believe he did this." Vanellope sulked. "Yeah, I mean, dude obviously made some real questionable choices here, but he also made a bee pun to save his best friend's game," Yesss replied. "So, what can I say, kid? Life's complicated." She said. "You ready to pied the piper?" Ralph asked. "Hey, guys!" Vanellope called to the Ralph viruses. "It's your best friends in the whole wide world who you can't live without!" The group of Ralphs looked over and began to chase after the girls. "Wow... From up here, I can see how I do come across as needy and clingy and self-destructive like KnowsMore said," Ralph said, seeing his copies. "Listen, kids. I don't blame you for not wanting to be my friend anymore." He said. "We never said we didn't want to be your friend," Vanellope told him. "We said you're acting like a bad friend, which you were." "I know I was-" Ralph began. "Hey, my babies!" Yesss called out. "There's the Anti-Virus District, straight ahead!" She said. "Alright, to be continued, okay?" Ralph asked. The Ralph clones muddled themselves together to make a giant Ralph monster. The monster wobbled briefly, before regaining its balance and hitting back with a few more punches, sending them flying. Ralph, (Y/n), Vanellope, and Yesss looked at the Ralph virus monster from where they stood. "That is unsettling..." Ralph said. "Get the girls out of here now!" Ralph said. "What about you, Ralph?" (Y/n) asked. "Just go! I got a date with the man in the mirror. You keep away from them! I'm gonna wreck it! They're not your friends! They're my friends!" Ralph shouted as he attacked. "Here it is, this way! Come on, kids, we gotta move!" Yesss said. Vanellope and (Y/n) quickly ran down the long railway. But soon it broke causing the young girls to fall. "Vanellope! (Y/n)!" Yesss shouted. The Ralph monster then caught the two in his giant hand. "Hey! Let go of us!" Vanellope shouted. "Ralph!" (Y/n) shouted as they were covered. "Get back here! You put them down!" Ralph shouted. "Vanellope! (Y/n)!" Ralph shouted. The monster walked away with the girls then uncovered his hand and smiled at them. "You know, you're acting like a real bad guy here!" (Y/n) shouted. The monster growled. "Well, you are, and we will never be your friends!" Vanellope shouted. "Hey doofus!" Ralph shouted. "Ralph!" The girls shouted as Ralph rode by. "Catch me if you can, you big dummy!" Ralph then hit the monster. "I gotcha, little sisters." Ralph grabbed the girls and placed them somewhere safe. "Now go, get out of here!" Ralph said as he fell back. "Ralph!" The girls shouted in panic. "Go!" Ralph shouted as the monster grabbed Ralph and began to squeeze him. "No! Don't hurt him! Please, no!" Vanellope shouted. "Stop it! You're squishing him!" (Y/n) shouted.

"You're gonna kill our best friend!" Vanellope shouted. "Fine, you win. You win, okay?" (Y/n) said. "Just please put him down." Vanellope said as they glitched closer. "We'll be your only friends, okay? Just let him go." (Y/n) said. "No! No, kids!" Ralph said. "That's it. That's it, yeah. Let him down, and we'll go with you. We'll be best friends forever. Just us and you. That's what you want, right?" Vanellope asked gently. The monster smiled and nodded. "Well, that's not what I want!" Ralph shouted. The girls looked at him. "It's not right to hold a friend back from their dreams. You don't own them! That's not how friendship works! You need to let them go! Hey. You need to let them go. I know. It's gonna hurt a little bit when you do. Ah, who am I kidding, it's gonna hurt a lot. But you're gonna be okay. We're gonna be okay. Right, kids?" Ralph asked them. "Of course we are. Always." Vanellope cried. "See? No matter where they go, or where they live, they're always gonna be our friends. You just gotta trust them. Cause that's what best friends do. Right?" Ralph asked. "Thanks, buddy." (Y/n) smiled at him. "I feel good about this." Ralph said. The Ralph monster then began to glow. "Ralph look, I think you fixed your insecurity." Vanellope said. "Yeah I did." The Virus Ralph disappears. "Woohoo!" Ralph starts to fall. "RALPH NO!" The girls shouted.  J.P. Spamley comes to the rescue. "Pocket right here, Ralph! Your old friend J.P. Spamley's got you!" He said. "Woohoo!" Ralph goes right through it and falls, knocked out. "Wow, that didn't work." As Ralph was about to fall to his immediate death the princesses see him. "Look up there!" Rapunzel said. "It's a big strong man in need of rescuing!" She said. Moana held out her paddle to control the ocean. Ariel jumped into the water, swimming through it. Ariel landed on the magic carpet with Jasmine and Elsa. Elsa shot the water, turning it into an ice slide and Ralph slid down. Rapunzel handed Aurora some of her golden locks as Sleeping Beauty began to stream it through a spinning wheel. Cinderella's bird friends began to make a dress. Merida got ready to launch arrows with the help of Jaq and Gus. Cinderella and Anna went to work after the arrows had been shot. Snow White tossed the poisoned apple as Belle spiked it like a volleyball. Mulan jumped up and sliced the apple into pieces. The poison apple slices seemed to crease into the princess dresses. Ralph fell through the air before falling into Snow White's gown and the other dressed puffed out like parachutes with their large skirts. "Aaaaahhh~" Ariel sang. Pocahontas sent some wind to Ralph to float him over into The Royal Mattress. Ralph floated down and landed on the mattress safely. Tiana was about to go up and kiss Ralph, but her frog did instead. Ralph woke up and smiled. "Thanks, frogger." He then panicked slightly. "Wait a minute... Who are all of you?!" Ralph asked. ""We're friends of Vanellope and (Y/n)." Jasmine informed. "And any friend of theirs is a friend of ours." Elsa smiled. "You're welcome." Moana smirked. "Hey!" Vanellope and (Y/n) called out, appearing with Yesss. "Ralph! Guys!" "Looking good, big fella!" Yesss chuckled. "Hey-o!" Ralph waved, but ripped the dress a little due to his size. "This dress is not made for a big boy. It's going right up the back alley there. Let me just make a little adjustment..." he loosened the skirt, making his belly bulge out. "There we go." Ralph said.

(Y/n), Vanellope and Ralph took one last look at the internet world together. "You know what I just realized?" Ralph spoke up. "The sun never rises or sets here, 'cuz everything is always on." "Isn't that an astute observation?" Vanellope replied. "I know, right?" Ralph smirked. "Other than KnowsMore, I'm probably the smartest guy in the internet." (Y/n) laughed. "Yeah." "Yo, girls!" Shank called out, coming with her crew to see them. "We're about to come back online. You ready?" "Be right there!" Vanellope called. "Hey, Ralph," Shank smirked. "Don't be a stranger." "I can't can't get stranger than you, Shank." Ralph said. "Oh. That's a good dad joke!" Shank replied. "Hey. Don't forget, you know, Shank added our codes in and everything, so we'll be able to regenerate," Vanellope smiled at Ralph. "We're gonna be totally safe." "I know. It's gonna be great!" Ralph smiled back. "You two found your dream game." He said. (Y/n) chuckled. "Yeah." She agreed. "Oh, I wanted to give you this." Vanellope and (Y/n) saw it was the medal, but it was broken. "I'm so sorry I broke it, Ralph." Vanellope said.  "No. it's okay," Ralph said before showing the other half around his neck, giving her the half with its own lace to wear around her neck. "Now we can both have a half. See?" He asked. Vanellope chuckled. "Yeah." The girls jumped into his arms to hug him. "I love you so much." (Y/n) whispered. "I'm really gonna miss you." "I'm gonna miss you too, kids," Ralph replied. "I really am." "Alright. Okay, you're getting a little clingy on me here," Ralph said, setting them down to go back to Slaughter Race. "Go on, get out of here. The world's waiting for you, kids." He said. The girls waved back at Ralph as they slowly walked up the stairs. Ralph waved back. And the trio did this until the two girls disappeared from sight.

"I'll be honest. It still feels kinda weird around here. A lot has changed. even though we got that steering wheel and saved Sugar Rush, it's never really gonna be the same. For one thing, the racers aren't even that obnoxious anymore. Felix and Calhoun, as goofy as they are, they turn out to be pretty great parents. I'm keeping busy, too. Finally joined Zangief's book club. Oh, and we got this new thing we do every Friday night where we all go and hang out in a different game. I actually hosted this week. Guess that's pretty much all the news I got for you two." Ralph said. "Oh, man, your stories never disappoint, Ralph. I just wish we can hang out sooner." Vanellope said. "Yeah, me too. When did you say you're getting those days off?" Ralph asked. "Our update starts on January 25th. So, like, 2 months from now?" (Y/n) asked. "That'll go by in a flash. Speaking of which, you want me to bring you anything from home when I come visit?" Ralph asked. "You know what we cannot find anywhere on the internet? A halfway decent Burger Time burger.  We've been talking to Shank and the crew, and honestly, I think they're starting to think we're making it up!" Vanellope said. "Alright. Consider it done. I'll bring you guys a truck load." The trio looked at the sunrise. "The sun's coming up already. Guess I better get to it." Ralph said. "Yeah, us too." Vanellope said. "Talk next week?" Ralph asked. "We shall await your call, Madame. Then, ado-ado. Farting is such sweet sorrow." (Y/n) said. Ralph chuckles. "So long, stinkbrain." Vanellope said. "Bye, kids." Ralph hangs up. Felix approached Ralph, sitting peacefully on the bench while watching the sunrise. "Hey. You doing okay there Ralph?" He asked. "Yeah. I am, actually. I'm doing great." The arcade characters are reporting to their games. "Come on, Felix. Let's get to work, Buddy." The two head off to Fix-It Felix Jr.
