From the moment I saw Wreck it Ralph I was in love with it! It's by far one of the best movies I have seen! And I have gone absolutely gaga for Felix and Calhoun! So I've decided to go ahead and write a series of one shots!

Hope you enjoy!

When Can I See You Again?

It had been a rather quiet ride back to Game Central Station. Ralph had waved out of the window until all of Sugar Rush was gone from sight. He then continued to look out of the window to avoid the air of extreme awkwardness that was occurring behind him. Felix's face was a bright shade of red and a large and goofy smile was plastered across his lips as he gazed longingly at the blonde-haired sergeant that was piloting the ship. Ralph was doubly shocked at her expression; in the very short time that he had known Calhoun, he had barely seen her do anything but sneer; but now here she was with lightly glowing cheeks and the hint of a smile on her lips. Something had happened between those two that much was for sure.

They soon arrived back in the hustle and bustle of the station, and Sergeant Calhoun carefully landed the space craft into Game Central Station, near the entrance of Fix It Felix. She opened the hatch to let her two passengers out.

"The fun ride stops here ladies, better get back to your game pronto before the arcade opens."

Ralph was the first to jump out. He turned and smiled to Calhoun, saluting her.

"Thanks for all your help Sarge, we couldn't have done it without you."

"You're probably right about that Wreck It. Crazy as it sounds it wasn't a half bad adventure. Just be sure you don't set a cybug loose the next time you decide to game jump." She gave him a polite nod. "You're a good man Ralph."

Ralph smiled and waved again before he turned around, intent on heading back into his game. He quickly realized that he was one man short and turned around again to see Felix slowly climbing out of the ship with a strangely nervous expression on his face.

"Eh…he's probably just worried that the game is still in trouble" thought Ralph.

"Hey! Felix! You comin' or what?"

"You go on ahead without me brother, I'll catch up." The handyman replied, waving a hand, and Ralph got the vaguest feeling that he was actually being shooed away.

"Oh…uhm..alright then." Ralph shrugged and walked into the portal for their game, scratching his head as he went.

Felix watched as his large friend walked away and turned back around to face Calhoun. He slowly slid his hat off and nervously wrung it between his hands.

"Thank you for all your help ma'am. I'm really thankful. And it sure was a pleasure meeting you. And well…I sure hope I'm not being too forward ma'am, and you can go right ahead and tell me if I am, but I just..well you see..what I wanted to ask is…"

"Spit it out Fix-It." She said with an amused tone in her voice.

"When can I see you again?" he squeaked out.

Well, she was surprised; she had found herself shockingly hopeful that that was the direction his question was going in, but she hadn't expected him to actually get it out. She was surprised at the butterflies that rose up in her stomach when he asked. There was something about this man, so fresh and enlightening, he was so different from everything she had known. Perhaps that was why she felt so drawn to him and found herself wanting to spend more time with him. She smirked at how nervous he was. He was sure that she was going to laugh at him when she didn't answer right away. He sighed and his shoulders slumped.

"It's fine ma'am…I understand..."

He was cut off as she swooped down from her seat and placed a kiss against his cheek.

"Tell you what, I'll see you this Saturday, right here, 7 o'clock sharp."

Saturday…that was two days away! His heart soared.

"Oh yes ma'am! Thank you!" he beamed. The warning bell that the arcade was about to open echoed through GCS. Felix held his hat to his chest and directed a polite bow at her.

"Until this Saturday, milady." He said. Calhoun smiled lightly and started the ship back up.

"Hey Fix-it! You can call me Tamora." With that, she closed the hatch and lifted the ship from the ground.

"Tamora" he sighed happily. Her name was like a sweet song to him.

Calhoun huffed and sat back down on her bed, staring at her locker of clothes. She'd never had much of a reason to have many other clothes aside from her uniform; a few basic pants and tops, some more comfortable clothing for lounging and working out in, and a small amount of sleepwear; and there in the back of the closet: the charred remains of her old wedding dress. She sighed again, frustrated with herself. She was Tamora Jean Calhoun! She did not get nervous!

…so then why did the thought of this date with the handyman have her practically shaking? She'd rarely before given much thought to her appearance; there wasn't much of a need for it when your daily life consisted of getting splattered by bug guts. But she wanted to look - dare she say it? - nice.

She dug through the clothes again, hoping that she just might find something slightly more acceptable. She finally settled on a pair of fitted black jeans and a dark green tank top. It would have to do. She took another look at herself in the mirror and slung a simple black leather jacket over her shoulders.

"Stop being so stupid." She told her reflection.

Back in his apartment Felix fiddled again with his tie, his nervous hands making it uneven once more.

"Oh fiddlesticks!" he huffed and threw his hands down as he stared at himself in the mirror. Maybe a tie was just too formal anyway. It was only the first date.

But maybe that was all the more reason to wear a tie.

But what if she didn't dress up?

What if she didn't show up?

Oh now he was being ridiculous, of course she'd show up! She'd decided on the time!

But maybe she was hoping for something more casual…

The tie was definitely too formal.

Then did that mean the vest was too?

And now he was arguing with himself...

Yes, maybe tie was a bit much…and maybe the vest too. He slid them both off and looked at his reflection. He had worn his dress shirt, a nice crisp sky blue. He smiled at the color; it reminded him of her eyes. He huffed again in frustration and slid his vest back on before smoothing his hair again. He glanced to the clock and jumped.

"Jiminy jaminy! I've gotta get going!" If he didn't hurry up and leave now he'd be late, and that was certainly no way to make a good impression.

When Tamora walked in to Game Central Station she could feel the knot of tension in her stomach grow and she grew annoyed at herself for being so "tender". She walked to where they had agreed to meet and was pleasantly surprised to find him already there waiting; there had been a small part of her that had been half-expecting him to be late. But no; he had beat her there first, and she was always prompt; she was impressed to say the least. He saw her and his face lit up instantly, those colors he called the "honey-glows" adorning his face once more. She smirked and strolled up to him, knocking the bill of his hat over his eyes.

"Hey there Fix-It."

"H-Hello Miss Calhoun…jiminy jaminy…" He blushed, popping his hat back up so that he could see her. He let out a quiet gasp at her appearance; he had known that she was beautiful from the first moment that he had seen her. But now, out of her uniform, she was stunning. Any of her earlier concerns about looking ridiculous or under-dressed were quickly washed away at his reaction. He presented her with a huge pink flower that he had asked Ralph to acquire for him from Sugar Rush. Tamora smirked and sniffed at the blossom before voicing her thanks. The blue-clad man blushed even brighter and tipped his hat to her.

"So where to?"

"Well I was hoping that I could take you out to dinner? Say Burger Time?"

"Sounds swell Short-Stack. I haven't had a chance to check it out yet." Burger Time, as she had been told, was a rather quirky game that, after hours, housed an old-style themed restaurant out of the sight from normal gameplay; complete with checkered floors, burgers, fries, milkshakes and even a jukebox. It wasn't really her normal sort of hangout spot; she had only left Hero's Duty a few times before her game-jumping adventure, and that was to peruse Tappers with a few of her men.

The diner was different, that much could be said for sure. But Tamora found herself having a very good time. They had been able to carry on with several conversations, as opposed to awkward silences and goo-goo eyed stares. She discovered that Felix, along with his natural southern charm and good manners, was also incredibly funny. No wonder everyone liked the little guy so much; he was so warm and open and charismatic. They of course couldn't continue to sit at their booth long after the food had been cleared and the check had been paid, so they exited back into Game Central Station, looking around for some sort of inspiration to continue on a conversation. The time had reached the point that most first dates do; where the couple are aware of the night coming to a close but still struggle for something new to say to stretch the night out.

"W-well tonight was just swell, Ma'am."

"That is was Fix-It." She agreed. Felix had become completely nervous once again. He had been brave enough earlier to take her hand as they sat at the table, and again as they walked. But now he was back to a blushing bashful babbling mess. "But ya know, the night isn't exactly over yet." She smirked and looked to him.

"What did you have in mind Ma'am?" he asked, elated that she wanted to spend more time with him.

"Well it's a nice night, and the arcade's closed. How about a little joy ride?"

A joyride, to Felix's surprise, consisted of a swirling rushing ride on her hover-board. They rushed through the various terrains of Sugar Rush; the candy-cane and lollipop trees sped by in blurs. At first he had clung tightly to her, fearing for his life. But as their ride continued he grew braver, daring even to release his hold on her and let his arms out to his sides.

"Woohoo! This is so much fun! It's like I'm flying!" he laughed out loud. Tamora found herself laughing along. It had been a while since she had last laughed, and tonight she was making up for that tenfold. They surfed over the bumpy rocky terrain of the peanut brittle before cruising over the very same nesquick sand pit they had landed in but a day prior. They glanced to one another, their faces each lighting in a blush.

As with most nights, this one too had to come to an end. Felix, the gentleman that he was, escorted Tamora back to the entrance of her game.

"Thanks for a great night Felix; it's been a while since I've had that much fun."

Little did she know just how much the sound of his name coming from her lips gave him the honey-glows.

"It was my pleasure Tammy-oh..uh..I-" He blushed brightly. He hadn't exactly meant to use the nickname; he wasn't even sure if she would approve. Tamora smirked and knelt down in front of him.

"Tammy? Huh-I like it; coming from you." She chuckled as his face burned a bright shade of red and she popped the bill of his cap down over his eyes. "So…when can we do this again?" she asked. She was rarely one to ever beat around the bush, and Felix sent strange butterflies flying in her stomach. His eyes were wide as he tipped his hat back up and looked at her.

"Again? You mean you want to?! I mean-oh shucks." He giggled then and cleared his throat. "The arcade is closed tomorrow; and Vanellope's gonna be in another race..."

"It's a date soldier. I'll see you tomorrow." Calhoun was a no-nonsense type of gal. She wasn't about to giggle like a schoolgirl and wait for him to make the first move and so she took it herself. She grabbed his collar and pulled him in for a kiss. He hadn't expected their first kiss, and this one too took him by surprise, but he took much less time in reacting to this one. He cradled her cheeks in his hands, kissing her sweetly.

Felix practically floated on air as he walked home to his apartment in Niceland. He didn't even see his surroundings as he tripped out of the trolly cart and walked towards his home. He bumped into something large and solid and fell back on his rear end with a thump. Ralph quickly bent down to place his friend back on his feet.

"Woah, hey there Felix, you feeling okay?"

"Hmm? Oh yeah! Real swell!"

"You sure? You're sorta looking kinda red. Hey! Wait a minute, that's right! You had a date with Calhoun! How'd it go?" Ralph asked, placing his hands on his hips.

"Oh Ralph…she's just the most dynamite gal ever." Felix sighed sappily. "She's just the absolute most!"

Well…that was something. When Felix had first gone on about the "dynamite gal" that he had met before he landed in the fungeon Ralph certainly had not expected it to be Calhoun, but it was clear that his fixer friend was happy, and he deserved it. He was just shocked with just how taken Felix seemed to be with the tough-as-nails sergeant.

"The most huh? Well…that's great Felix. Good for you. When are you gonna see her again?"

"Tomorrow night!"

Tomorrow? That was pretty soon. Ralph was actually impressed that his friend seemed to be pulling this off; he had sort of expected the pint-sized handyman to be a bundle of nerves and inadvertently push her away.

"I'll see you later brother, I gotta get home! The sooner I get to bed the sooner it's tomorrow!" Felix jumped into the air, clicking his heels together, before racing up the stairs of his building.

"Man…he is one love sick puppy dog." Ralph laughed and scratched his neck.

Back in her barracks Calhoun couldn't erase the small smile that had seemed to paste itself to her lips. As far as the majority of her men knew, Calhoun had two expressions: angry and murderous. Even Kohut, who knew her better than the rest, was all too surprised when he passed by his friend and saw the expression there.

"Evening Sergeant…seems like you had a good night." He smirked knowingly at her. She looked back at him, her smile growing as well before she let out a snort of a chuckle.

"Oh shut up Kohut."

She fell asleep that night looking at the flower that a certain 8-bit handyman had given her and she began to wonder just what the future might bring her.

well it might not be my best work.. or maybe i'm just being to hard on myself again, but there it is :) The first of what I am hoping to be many inserts... I actually currently have three others in the works! I've been slowly chinking away at them for a couple of weeks but life has been uber busy! I've got work, I'm involved in three (count em three) weddings, and I've also been trying to keep up some semblance of a real outside life too.. BUT I hope to get more chapters for this and my Megamind story up soon! :) Let me know what you think! Reviews are a writer's fuel! (seriously, I like hearing what people like and don't like! Happy fan reviews and constructive criticism are always welcome).
