A/N Don't mind this story. It's just something I had stuck in my head. Don't read, if you don't like real world AU's
Crash!
The sound of a window breaking makes Ralph jump out of bed. He quickly grabs the bat from his closet, and runs down stairs. He stops at the bottom of the stairs. Looking at the living room, he sees that glass covers the ground, making it nearly impossible to walk anywhere in the living room, but Ralph tiptoes across the floor anyways. He spots a rock just a foot away from the broken window. picking it up he sighs. This wasn't exactly the nicest neighborhood, but no one around her would do this. He opens the window, and throws the rock into the lawn.
"Who would do that?" He asks himself, closing the window. Music starts blasting from upstairs, making him jump, and slip on the glass, quickly though he jumps to his feet, biting his lip while doing so. He hops toward the stairs. He tries running, but trips, thanks to the glass in his feet. He falls onto the stairs, and drops the bat. The music is turned up. Ralph drags himself up the stairs. He tries pushing with his feet, but any pressure makes him wince.
When he makes it to the top he sees Vanellope standing outside her door, covering her ears. "What the heck's going on?" Vanellope yells, over the music. Ralph forces himself to his feet, and leans down next to her ear, he pulls her hand down, and leans closer to her ear.
"Go back to bed. I'm handling it." Ralph says, calmly, nudging her into her room. Vanellope walks back to her bed. Ralph closes the door, and limps down the hallway, to the room where the music is coming from.
slowly, he opens the door, music fills the hallway, making Ralph cover his ears. He sees the window at the other end of the room open. Limping to the window, he shuts off the music, makes it to the window, and shuts it. "Who the heck..." He begins. Felix screams. Ralph limps as fast as he can, out of the room, back down the hallway. He looks down the stairs, and sees Felix stumble out of the kitchen, over the couch, and onto the ground.
Ralph hops down the stairs, having a panic attack. Felix jumps to his feet. Ralph stops, when he sees that Felix is covered in red goo.
"Is that blood? And who the heck is in there?" Ralph asks, hopping next to Felix.
"It's not blood! And I don't know!" Felix says, loudly. Something in the kitchen slams. Ralph covers Felix's mouth, and puts a finger up to his lips, shushing Felix.
Ralph looks at the kitchen door. It sways, forward and backwards, not fully closed. Ralph walks on his tip toes, towards the door. He opens it, and peeks his head inside. "Hello?" There's no response, so he limps in.
"Careful. He's dangerous." Felix whispers, hiding behind Ralph.
Ralph shakes his head, looks around the kitchen. Light from the fridge makes Ralph notice the fridge door is ajar. He walks carefully on his tiptoes, and closes it, rather loudly, making Felix jump. Ralph's eyes dart around the kitchen. One of the cupboards open for a split second, then closes just as quickly.
Ralph limps over. He reaches out for the handle, on the cupboard. Felix grabs his arm, stopping him. Felix shakes his head.
"He's dangerous." Felix whispers, clearly afraid, of the intruder.
"He can fit in this cupboard. How dangerous can he be?" Ralph says, shaking Felix's arm off. He opens the cupboard, and is immediately bombarded by the red goo. He falls backwards, and smashes onto the ground. The intruder jumps out of the cupboard, making Felix flinch away. He runs past Felix, jumps over Ralph, and runs out of the kitchen. Ralph sits up, and licks some of the red goo off of his lips.
"Ketchup?" He forces himself to his feet again, and follows the intruder.
The intruder unlocks the door, and runs out. Turning down the sidewalk, he looks back, and sees Calhoun chasing him. She starts gaining on him, rather quickly. He pulls the ketchup bottle out of his backpack, aims it at the ground, and squeezes, making the ketchup cover the ground. Calhoun jumps over the ketchup, barley makes it, and trips on the last bit of ketchup. She reaches out, and grabs the kids leg, tripping him. He kicks his leg, trying to get loose, losing one of his flip flops in the process. "Let go crazy lady!" He yells, still kicking.
Calhoun pulls him towards her. He tries digging his nails into the sidewalk, to stop himself, but to no avail. He then tries dragging himself forward, but thanks to his lack of upper body strength, Calhoun has gotten a hold of him, pushes herself to her feet, and has started dragging him back to the house. He doesn't stop struggling though. Luckily, well not lucky for the kid, but lucky for the others, Ralph shows up, and grabs the kids arms.
"Just let me go!" Josh orders, still kicking his legs, and yanking his arms. Ralph and Calhoun ignore him, and carry him back to the house.
