Vanellope's New Chapter

Chapter 14- My Person


A day had passed. I slowly opened my eyes to find myself laying on an air mattress in what seemed to be a white room. When my eye sight finally began to adjust back to normal, I saw Pepper looking down at me with hopeful eyes.

A bright smile then appeared on her face. "Well look who's finally awake!" She beamed.

"Pepper?" I asked in a soft tone as I slowly sat up. "Where are we?"

"We're at Google silly!" She giggled.

I then noticed she was dressed differently from the last time I saw her. "Did you change your outfit?" I asked raising a brow.

"You could say that." She replied slyly.

I then grew suspicious. "What's going on…?" I asked.

"Relax, everything's fine. Turns out everything The Hacker said was true."

"You didn't get that the moment you saw a ring sucking up pixels." I joked.

Pepper laughed. "Well yeah, but I was actually talking about the part with my memory getting whipped. I don't fully remember everything that happened as yet, but I'll get there. And now, your looking at the new boss of Google!"

'Wait seriously?!" I asked in disbelief.

"Yup! Apparently I was next in line for the position but then the whole Hacker thing happened and I never gotta chance to do my proper job, but now I can!"

"Well that's great Pepper! I'm really happy for you!"

"Thank you!" She smiled but her tone quickly shifted into a saddened one as she continued. "And… I'm really sorry… about our fight, Shank's car, your metal, everything. All that I ask is if you can find it in your heart to forgive me…"

My expression became more serious as I looked at her concerned. "I can, if you can tell me why you're always so rude and manipulative to people. I know you we're going through a lot, but was that really the right way to handle it?"

Pepper began to rub her arm as she looked down. "Honestly, I never wanted to be that way with you, or anyone else for that matter. Loosing my temper is the only way I know how to hide my true feelings from others. I didn't wanna blow up at you earlier, I just….felt like I had to…because…I really liked hanging out with you….and…I felt like I didn't deserve too…"

A small smile creeped up on my face. "You know even though you were a pain in the neck at first, I really enjoyed being stuck with you for the past few days too…"

Pepper slowly began to look up at me with her eyes widened.

"You're smart, brave, kind and a lot better at most things than I am. And to be honest, the reason I didn't really you at first is because…I was jealous of you…" I confessed looking away slightly.

Pepper looked at me surprised. "Jealous of me?" She asked. A bright smile suddenly appeared on her face. "If anything I should be jealous of you."

Now I looked up at her with widened eyes.

"Your an amazing racer, you have the coolest super power, you're a really quick thinker and you have such wonderful friends that really care about you! You have a great life Vanellope and your own amazing talents. There's no need for you to be jealous of anybody."

I was dumbfounded by her response…

It wasn't until after hearing those words was when I truly realized how kind hearted of a person Pepper really was. She may have had her flaws, but so did I. Besides nobody's perfect.

I knew then and there that I didn't want this to be the last time we spoke. Cause I knew that I had found my person all along.

I smiled at her. "That's really sweet of you to say Pepper, but my life wouldn't be half as great without you in it."

Her eyes widened once again.

"I don't want this to be the last time we see each other, I really don't! I want for us to hang out more together and it would make me really happy if we could become friends!"

Pepper slowly smiled. "I-I would love that! Does this mean…that you forgive me?"

"Of course I forgive you Pepper!" I then stood up and rapped my arms around her, giving her the biggest huge. She immediately joined in as she hugged me back tightly in her arms.

As we released each other, Pepper then said, "Thank you for accepting my apology and for everything that you've done to help me. And I promise you I wont act rude towards people every again. Today's the start of a new leaf for me!"

I smiled happily at her. "That's great to hear!"

"Well, now that that's settled, how bout your new friend show you around her new office!"

I laughed as she grabbed my hand and began to show me around.


After that, Pepper definitely proved that she'd keep her word. She decided that she wanted to apologize to everyone she's wrong in the past, starting with Shank.

"And I'm really sorry for trying to steal from your game in the first place." Pepper apologized. I know a simple apology like this isn't enough to make up for it but I'd just like you to know that I won't be doing anything like that again."

Shank smiled at her as she placed her hand on Pepper's head to rub it slightly. "It's alright Candy-Canes! All's forgiven."

Pepper looked up at her and smiled brightly.


As for The Hacker and The Scammer, they were both taken into custody into a special facility for the internet's most dangerous threats at the anti-virus district.

Pepper and I got to go visit them so we could get the rest of Hailey's hacked coding removed.

"Come on! Can't we talk about this?" Hailey pleaded. She was strapped to a chair with her hands secured tightly behind her back within metal hand cuffs.

Pepper and I only looked at each other with out eyes narrowed in annoyance. Pepper then pointed the green ring at her and the next ya know, bye bye powers.

She immediately fell on her knees due to the ring's effect but besides that she was ok. She then handed me the ring and said, "Will you do the honors!"

"Gladly!" I replied as I took it from her. I then threw it on the ground and stomped it under my feet, breaking it into pieces. Hailey then returned back to normal into her regular human form.

A security guard that was in the room with us only a few feet away, walked up to us. He then said. "We'll make sure to get both rings disposed of immediately! Thank you for your service ladies!"


For the remainder of the time, Ralph, Pepper and I hung out for the remaining time his visit. It was really hard to say goodbye to him again when it was time for him to go, but I think I'll be ok.

Cause I know Pepper will have my back!

Things have really gotten better for her. She went from being called a 'pushover' to a respected leader at Google. You could tell she was happier and so was I.

I knew meeting my person was only the beginning of my adventure in this crazy new place, but whatever the future will bring for me, I won't be alone, cause I know my friends will be there for me!

"Hey V! Ya coming?" I turned around as I broke out of thought to see Pepper waving me over from a distance as she stood with two other people.

I nodded as I ran over to them so we could get another great day started.
