Happy Anniversary, Wreck-It Ralph!

"I love chocolate!"

"Liar," Vanellope smirked up at her friend.

"No, I still hate the taste, but I love that it saved us," Ralph chuckled as he watched them on the screen splash each other with chocolate mud.

Felix giving Calhoun a surprise cheek kiss was next, everyone getting a kick out of Calhoun acting like she was going to pummel him instead of kissing him back. Calhoun actually laughed and slapped her knee watching this.

"I didn't even notice the floating hearts!"

Felix turned beet red and twisted his cap in his hands. "I-it doesn't happen every time, y'know..."

"Hey, Ralphie, maybe that happens when you kiss someone!"

Ralph actually choked on the air, coughing as he got his breath back. "Uh, yeah, I don't think I'm gonna find out any time soon."

"Because you have halitosis warthog breath," Turbo told him and then immediately ducked when a soldier tried to backhand him.

"We can always help you out in finding a potential mate, Ralph!" offered Satine and several of the Bad-Anon members started shouting in agreement.

"No, no, that's fine, it's okay, let's just watch the movie please?!"

It was time for Vanellope to cross the finish line that Felix was able to fix. Everyone went "ooh" and "ahh" as she floated in the air magically while Sugar Rush reset itself. The locked chests in the code vault that were keeping everyone's memories hidden unlocked themselves, allowing everyone to remember the truth about their game.

"Whoa, what's with all the magic sparkles?"

"I still really hate that stupid dress," Vanellope stated with her tongue out.

"I happen to like it," Taffyta commented. "Then again, I like everything pink."

"Disney just had to shove a princess in there, didn't they?" Gene muttered with an eye roll.

"We are SO sorry for the way we treated you!"

"Ha, see, I did apologize!" Taffyta said while pointing at the movie screen with one hand and shoving Rancis with the other. "And there you go saying it was all jokes and Candlehead is just blaming me for it all!"

Rancis had a sad puppy dog look about him. "Wow, I really did say that..."

"Sorry," Candlehead frowned, her candle dimming with her mood.

"Tut-tut. As your merciful princess, I hereby decree that anyone who was ever mean to me shall be...executed."

"Haha, I still can't believe you guys fell for that!" Vanellope laughed at the other kids as they all cried in the movie. "You would've just regenerated!"

"And everyone says I was a tyrant," Turbo thought to himself but he didn't dare say it out loud.

"I kinda believed you too, kid," Ralph chuckled uneasily. "And Felix looked like he was gonna game-over from shock."

"I'm thinking more along the lines of a constitutional democracy," Vanellope was saying in the film after she announced that she was abandoning the princess gig. "President Vanellope von Schweetz! Has a nice ring to it, don't ya think?"

"And I never had to wear the dumb dress again."

"This is so stupid!" Turbo spat, unable to hold it in anymore. "You shouldn't have still had a glitch, first of all, and you can't just vote yourself president! You need an elect-"

"Oh put a sock in it!" a soldier commanded him before literally shoving a sock in Turbo's mouth to gag him. "See how you like it!"

The rest of the movie was mostly fluff between Ralph and Vanellope, who had to say their good-byes since the arcade was about to open.

"I'm already happy," he said to her after declining her invitation to live in the Sugar Rush castle. "I've got the coolest friend in the world."

A collective "aww" came from the audience, people wiping their eyes with happy tears. The movie sped up at this point, showing a range of events such as Litwak stating that Fix-It Felix Jr. didn't have to be unplugged anymore.

"Say, where's Mr. Litwak anyway?" Felix wondered as he realized he hadn't seen the man at all.

"He, uh, still doesn't know we're all alive actually, so I didn't want to freak him out and invite him," Ralph answered him. "Don't want him havin' a heart attack."

Back to the movie, Ralph began to monologue to the Bad-Anon group about the different things that happened after he returned to his game. Felix and Calhoun were wed ("They finally mentioned my name," Calhoun said in amusement), and the Q*bert gang found a new home with the Nicelanders. Everyone laughed at Gene getting blown up by dynamite...everyone except Gene that is. Vanellope was fully included in her game now and was popular with the players despite everything Turbo had said. All in all, it was a happy ending for all.

"Turns out, I don't need a medal to tell me that I'm a good guy...because if that little kid likes me, how bad can I be?"

The scene faded to black and Owl City's song"When Can I See You Again" began to play, showing some pixellated artwork during the credits. Everyone bobbed their heads and swayed to the catchy music, singing along with it in unison.

Calhoun picked Felix up out of his seat and put him in her lap, wrapping her arms around her husband while he smiled bashfully. Turbo sat there in silence, glaring hatefully at everyone around him that was dancing in their seats, though he did tap his foot to the beat and hoped no one saw him. Even Sour Bill had a smile on his face during the musical number, a rare sight if there ever was one.

Surge Protector flipped the lights on while Beard Papa lowered the music volume down, letting the credits roll on the screen while Ralph stood up. He stepped forward in front of everyone, clearing his throat.

"This was fun!" he began, putting his hands on his hips as he thought of what else to say. "You guys wanna watch our movie every year for the anniversary?"

A big resounding "yes!" filled the air along with loud applause. Ralph put his hand up to silence the crowd, a smile on his face.

"All right, guess that answers my question," he chuckled. "So thank you all for coming, I'm glad everyone got to make it." He side-eyed Turbo after he said that. "Well I'm glad about most of you showing up anyway."

The racer grumbled before Kohut and another soldier lifted him up by his armpits to literally carry him out, his short legs dangling lifelessly below him.

"All right, back to prison we go!" Kohut told him, plucking the sock out of Turbo's mouth as they marched.

"See ya next year, losers!" was his parting shot as he disappeared for the night.

"Don't worry, he's not invited. Ever." Ralph assured everyone before he forced a smile and waved to them all. "Happy anniversary, everyone!"

"Happy anniversary, Wreck-It Ralph!"

Everyone began to pile out, everyone chatting with their respective friends about their first anniversary experience. Ralph tore the bow tie off of his neck and flung it out to the crowd with one finger.

"Good riddance. Hey, Van, since I had to wear that ridiculous dog collar this year, you get to wear the dress next year."

"That'll happen never, Stinkbrain!"

Felix blinked up at the screen, his eyes big as he pointed up and behind Ralph. "Um, Ralph?"

Ralph furrowed a brow and turned around to see what the handyman was pointing at and his jaw dropped when he saw that the movie was glitching up after the credits. A tiny 8-bit version of himself carrying a Pac-Man cherry could even be seen.

"What the...Beard Papa, what gives?!"

"I don't know!" the old man replied back from the projection room, scratching his beard in confusion as he checked the equipment.

Ralph was as baffled as his three friends but then a thought hit him. "Turboooo!" he yelled at the top of his lungs, so loud in fact that Turbo could actually hear him from outside the building.

"Hoohoo, oh yeah," the racer laughed as he changed into King Candy again, kicking his feet in mid-air as he continued to be carried towards a patrol car that was waiting to take him back to Disney Prison. "I forgot that before I got locked up the first time, I glitched up the very end of the movie. Millions and millions of people saw it, hoohoohoo!"

"You're a sick man," Kohut retorted as he practically threw him into the police car.

Turbo giggled himself into hysterics and threw candy all over the inside of the car the best he could with handcuffs on. "Oh hey, when I switch into this form, the candy in my pockets regenerate!"

Kohut sighed and rubbed the back of his neck, watching the squad car drive off. "He's nuts, but I wish I had as many fangirls as he does."

Back inside the building, the Core Four slowly made their way down the aisle towards the exit.

"Good job with the hosting, junkpile" Calhoun commended the wrecker with a friendly wink. "All right, half-pint, let's go celebrate our wedding anniversary now," she said to Felix as she carried him bridal-style out of the theatre.

Vanellope glitched herself up to the top of Ralph's head, digging her hands in his hair so she could hang on. "Move forth, royal chump! This president needs a nap!"

"Now who sounds like a diaper baby," Ralph kidded as he walked. "All jokes aside, I'm glad we're still best friends after all this time."

"We always will be, ya big goof," Vanellope told him with a grin. "The adventures of President von Schweetz and her stinky hero must continue!"

"I agree, kid," he smiled. "And if we get a sequel, whatever happens in it, I promise nothing will ever change us."

"It better not, or I'll give Disney a good kick in the pants!"

"That's a little blasphemous, I think."

"Messing with us is blasphemous!"

"Yeah you got a point there."

And like Ralph said, sequel or not, nothing ever changed them.


It's been fun but now I've got to go
Life is way too short to take it slow
But before I go and hit the road
Tell me when
When can I see you again?

~ The End ~


A/N: Thanks for reading, everyone, hope you enjoyed! This was a lot harder than I initially thought it would be! I wish I could have done full commentary on every little thing, but that was just impossible! I apologize if I missed a scene you liked or if I missed an oppurtunity for a good joke, but I did my best! And happy anniversary, fellow Wrecklings!
