Chapter 1: Somber Moment.
The Nicelanders pick Ralph up and they throw him off the top of the building as the flashing score display itself above the apartment building. Ralph land on the pile of bricks with a crash and he quietly stand up, brush the dusts off him as he take a quick glance at the screen to see the last player leaving, due to closing time. "You did a great job today." Felix exited the building with a grin.
"Thank, you too." The left corner of Ralph's mouth lifts up slightly and he can hear the all-clear announce from the dancer of Dance Dance Revolution arcade. "Well, I'm off to Tapper's." He jabbed his thumb at the small train, "You coming or…?"
"Sorry, another time." Felix chuckled lightly with a small blush, "I'm gonna take my dynamite gal out for a romantic dinner."
"Ah…" Ralph smirked at him with a small chuckle, "Have a nice dinner and tell her I said hey."
"Will do." The smiling handyman waved at his giant friend and the villain head over to the train with a short sigh, causing the handyman to look at his back worriedly. He has been noticing the giant's state and there was something eating at Ralph because he has been down lately for some reason. 'Better talk to Calh about that.' Felix really doesn't know how to help his friend out but he bet his wife will come up with something.
"Hey, Tap, hit me up." Ralph entered the Tapper's game and the bartender pass him the root beer mug before he tend to his other customers as the giant take his seat with another sigh. He looks around in the bar as he takes a sip from his drink, he can see some familiar faces and some new faces. He see some couples flirting with each other and he turn back to his mug, taking one big gulp before he raise his index finger for another one, which was on its way with a slide. He was about to chug it down but a booming voice catch his attention and he glance over his shoulder, the voice belong to one of his fellow bad guys, Zangief.
"Ah, my comrade!" Zangief patted Ralph heartily with a booming laughter, "Good to see you! Tapper, round!" He gestured at the nearby table where their other fellow bad guys sit at, "Comrade, you join us, yes?"
"Sorry, Zan, not this time." Ralph smiled wearily, "Maybe other time?"
"Alright, see you at meeting." Zangief looked over him with a concern as he picked the mugs up and he walk over to his table.
"He's not joining us?" Sorceress asked the Russian wrester and he shake his head, placing the mugs on the table.
"No, our comrade's troubled by something." Zangief sat down with a frown, "Shame he can't tell us."
"You're right." Browser took his mug with a nod, "He just missed Bad-Anon meeting three time in row, that's not like him at all." Like Felix, they have notice a slight change in their fellow bad guy-slash-friend.
Back with Ralph, the giant was on his tenth mug and he was slightly buzzed. "Put them on my tab." Ralph called out to Tapper and the bartender give him a nod before the giant leave the bar, attempting to avoid the surge protector on his way out but his attempt failed once again.
"I hate this guy so much…" Ralph muttered under his breath, sitting down on the bench in the middle of game center and he watches the characters walking or doing their own things. He don't know how long he have been sitting there for until someone booed him from behind, causing him to jump up with a yelp and his head spin around to see his giggling friend, Vanellope. "Ooh, I got you so good!" Vanellope glitched onto the seat next to him with laughter, "You should have seen your face!"
"Not funny, you almost give me a heart attack." Ralph rolled his eyes at her with a tiny smirk, "Just wait, I'll get back at you."
"Ooh, I'm scared." Vanellope teased him before she look up at him, "Anyway, how come you don't come to see my races lately?"
"Oh, ah…" The giant rubbed the back of his head, "Just been busy lately…"
"Doing what?" The chibi girl asked curiously.
"Thinking, I guess." Ralph muttered.
"Careful, your brain will blow up." Vanellope said with a mocked gasp, receiving a small glare from her giant friend. After a few moments of laughing, she looks up at him again with a curiously expression. "What were you thinking about?"
"Well…" Ralph seems to be conflicted, either he keep his mouth shut and risk her pestering him all day or he can just tell her and she'll blab it to everyone, secret or not. He shrugged with a soft snort, "Ah, it's kinda stupid and you'll laugh at me."
"I promise I won't laugh at you." The chibi said firmly with a odd glint in her eyes, something that puzzled the giant slightly but he just shrug it off.
"I…" The giant looked out to the crowd as he spot some couples among them, "I'm kinda envious of these people like them over there. I want to have something like they have but I'm pretty sure that no girl want to go out with me because…You know…"
"A bad guy?" Vanellope blinked, "That's really stupid to think like that, I'm pretty sure no one care since…"
"No, no…" Ralph shook his head before he pause for a bit, "…Well, partly, yes…But that's not it." He gestured at himself, "I mean, look at me…I'm a giant with freakish arms and dirty clothes. No girls would be interesting in me because of that."
"Hey, hey, don't think like that." The chibi punched his side lightly, "Anyone would be crazy if they are not interesting in you and I'm one thousand perfect sure they don't mind the way you look like."
"Oh, really?" The giant corked his eyebrow at her.
"Yeah." Vanellope patted his leg with a nod, "Don't worry, someone will come to you or you'll find the right girl…Even if it's someone under your nose." She whispered the last part.
"…Thank." Ralph nudged her shoulder lightly with his index finger as he gave her a small grin and she elbowed him back with a wide grin.
"Now with that out of the way, let me tell you how the race went down today…" The chibi start to tell him about her race while he listens to her with an eyeroll.
Calhoun listens to Felix as he told her about Ralph's odd behavior after their dinner and she rest her head on her fist, staring at her husband. "Sound like he's lonely." She said flatly, it was pretty oblivious.
"What are you talking about?" Felix blinked confusingly, "He has us and a bunch of friends."
"Not this kind of lonely, hon." Calhoun rolled her eyes at him, "Lonely as in 'single' lonely."
"O-O-Oh, I see…" The handyman coughed into his hand embarrassingly before he looks up to her, "How come he doesn't say anything to me? I would help him…"
"Because that's how he is, an idiotic blockhead." She deadpanned, "He'll keep everything in or might go around doing something really stupid, like the medal fiasco."
"Ah, right…" Felix winced at the memory before he rubs his neck, "So what can we do?"
"Either we'll leave it alone or…" Calhoun hummed, "We can set up a blind date for him."
"With who?" The handyman asked.
"Classified." She smirked at her pouting husband, "So how was your work?" They both share their days with each other while the handyman try to drag some info out of his wife.
