“Hey,” Ralph said as they left Killcode in Game Central Station and headed back to Ralph’s game. “Cheer up; you’re not going to get any bigger.”

“Yeah, but I still can’t race,” Vanellope said bitterly. “Not while the arcade’s open, anyway.”

Neither said anything else until they arrived back in the game. As Ralph helped Vanellope out of the tram car, he didn’t take his hands off of her waist. When she made to move away, he tugged her back. “We’ll find a way to fix this. I don’t come from the game ‘Fix-It Felix’ without knowing how to build a lot of things, not just houses.”

Vanellope smiled a little bit. “Yeah. I believe you, Ralph,” she said softly.

“Good,” Ralph replied just as softly. The two characters stayed like that, both seeming to wait for the other to say or do something.

The expectant stalemate ended when Felix and Calhoun approached and Felix asked, “So, did y’all find anything out today?”

Ralph and Vanellope jumped apart, coughing embarrassedly, before Ralph told Felix what had transpired.

Vanellope jumped when Calhoun grabbed her arm and pulled Vanellope off to the side. “What’s up?” Vanellope asked curiously.

“What’s going on with you and Wreck-It?” Calhoun asked, getting straight to the point.

“Wh-What do you mean?” Vanellope stuttered.

“I mean just now, and last night. Something’s up, so what is it?” Calhoun looked at Vanellope intently for a second, and then smiled. “You love him,” she said, grinning widely.

“What? NO!” Vanellope protested, blushing. “Maybe I’ve got a crush on him, but love him? No way.”

Calhoun just grinned. “You do,” she told Vanellope confidently. “And I can see he loves you. Take it from another woman in love,” she said with a wink, going back to Felix’s side. The two guys suddenly stopped talking as Vanellope and Calhoun came back.

After chatting for a few more minutes, Felix and Calhoun headed for the apartment building and Ralph and Vanellope headed for Ralph’s house.

Ralph made hot chocolate again, and Vanellope stayed silent as she sipped the drink and thought about what Calhoun had told her. In love with Ralph? Vanellope slowly realized that was true: She did love Ralph.

But… Ralph, in love with her? That was a whole other kettle of Swedish Fish. Ralph was nice to her, but she wasn’t sure that that meant he loved her, at least in that way.

“Why so silent?” Ralph asked, finishing his hot chocolate. “I mean, I know it’s going to be difficult, getting you a new kart and all, but at least you can race, right?” He looked at her, worried, and Vanellope privately thought that he looked really cute when he was worried.

“It’s not the racing,” Vanellope mumbled, gazing into her hot chocolate glumly.

“Then what is it?” Ralph gently took the mug out of Vanellope’s hands and took her tiny hands in his giant ones, looking at her intently.

Vanellope wouldn’t look at Ralph, instead tugging her hands out of Ralph’s gentle hold and mumbling, “Nothing I really want to talk about.” She knew that this wasn’t the most productive course of action, but she didn’t want Ralph to feel pressured or anything if she told him she loved him.

***

Ralph looked closely at Vanellope. She’d been acting fine until Calhoun had pulled her aside at the tram station… “Van,” he said softly, using a hand to lift her gaze to meet his. “What did Calhoun want to talk to you about?”

Vanellope blushed, and Ralph thought that she actually looked more beautiful in this size than she had previously. “Van, you know you can talk to me about anything, right? We’re best friends.” But I’d like to be more.

Vanellope didn’t reply, and Ralph had a pretty good feeling he was going to regret this, but he pressed on anyway. “This probably isn’t the greatest timing,” he admitted, smiling sheepishly and blushing slightly, “but, well…” He took a deep breath and then said in a rush, “IthinkI’minlovewithyou.”

Vanellope looked up at Ralph, her eyes wide in surprise. The blush on Ralph’s cheeks intensified, and he started to mumble something by way of apology but found he couldn’t talk for Vanellope’s lips, pressed against his own, were in the way.

Slowly, he started to kiss her back, his hands moving so that one was splayed against her back, the other resting on one of her hips. He hands came up to tangle themselves in his hair, and Ralph slowly lowered them so they were laying on the couch, Ralph on his back, Vanellope laying on top of him.

Neither broke the kiss off for several minutes, just simply getting to know each other in a whole new way, each learning to see the other in a new light.

Finally Vanellope broke the kiss, but on to pull back far enough to whisper, “I love you, too,” before kissing him again. Ralph smiled against her lips.

Eventually, they pulled apart again. This time it was Ralph who spoke. “How did you know?” he asked, looking at Vanellope intently.

“I realized last night that I had had a crush on you for a while, but Calhoun was actually the one who make me realize that I actually loved you. What about you? How did you realize?”

Ralph chuckled. “You’ll never believe who helped me realize: Sour Bill.”

Vanellope laughed at the thought. “Sour Bill? He helped you realize you were in love?”
Ralph grinned. “Crazy, huh? But when you and Killcode were in the code room, he asked me why I was so worried. After talking to him, and after pulling you out of the database, I realized he was right: I care for you a lot more than I thought I did.”

Vanellope smiled. “Tell me again,” she demanded. Ralph grinned and complied.

“I love you,” he said.

“I love you, too, Ralph,” she said before kissing him again.
So here's part 3 of Glitch. I might or might not(depending on if I can work out a plausible way of doing it) show how Vanellope becomes a racer again... Idk.

Continue this please! Also I think somebody from Mario Kart should help Vanellope find a new kart (since MK is very similar to Sugar Rush but has some larger karts). You can use my idea if you want to.
