The Arcade had just closed, so we all parked up at the starting/finish line. The racers and I hop out of our karts to head up in front of the stands. I walked up to Snowanna Rainbeau, my best friend here other than Vanellope. 

She was the only one other than me who wasn't mean to her, at least when the others weren't around. We had to try and act as if we hated her as well so we wouldn't get kicked out of the roster, otherwise, there would be no chance of her getting into the race. 

But... I do feel like something amazing was going to happen today. "Today was an awesome day, huh?" I asked Snow.

"Yeah. So, are going to visit Vanellope after this?" she asked me in a whisper. 

I nodded. "We'll go after the Random Roster Race," I whispered to Snow. 

She nodded in confirmation. I smiled even more as we walked up the steps. "Why are you smiling wider for?" Snow asked me with a raised eyebrow.

"I just feel like something amazing is gonna happen today," I told her.

She rolled her eyes with a small smile, punching my shoulder slightly. We joined the group as Taffyta walked over, giving Candlehead a high five, and coming to a stop next to her. 

I didn't hate them and they didn't hate me or Snow, but we weren't friends either... At all.

"Citizens of Sugar Rush," Sour Bill started speaking over the microphone. 

In the corner of my eye, I thought I saw someone in green slip away but I ignored it and choked it up to my imagination. "All hail our rightful ruler, King Candy." Sour Bill announced before King Candy came out behind a curtain.

"Hello, my royal subjects! Ha-ha! Have some candy!" King Candy said, throwing out some candy to the crowd while they cheered his name. "Thank you for that stirring introduction, Sour Bill." King Candy thanked Sour Bill, patting him on the head. 

"Mmm-hmm." Sour Bill said.

"And thank you to today's avatars." King Candy said, motioning to us while we waved to the crowd. "It was a wonderful day of racing. It was. But now the arcade is closed, so it's time to wipe the slate clean and race to decide our new roster. The first nine racers across that finish line will represent Sugar Rush as tomorrow's avatars!" King Candy told us as the crowd started cheering again. "Okay, calm down. Listen! This event is pay-to-play. We all know this. The fee to compete is one gold coin." King Candy started to explain, pulling out a gold coin and we did as well.

Snow and I exchange a smile before we looked back up at King Candy. "From your previous winnings, if you've ever won, which I have. Let me go first!" King Candy said, pulling on a rope, and the coin thrower appeared.

We got into a line as King Candy threw his coin, landing on the coin thrower, and it went into the cup on top of the starting sign.

"King Candy!" The announcer said and the crowd started chanting again. 

Taffyta threw her coin. "Taffyta Muttonfudge!" The announcer said. Taffyta turned to the crowd. "Stay sweet," she said, jumping in the air while holding one of her lollipops. 

Man, she has a big ego.

"Crumbelina Di Caramello!" The announcer said as Crumbelina threw her coin and the two went back to their karts. 

"Gloyd Orangeboar!" The announcer said as threw his coin and walked back to his kart. 

"Adorabeezle Winterpop!" The announcer said as she threw her coin in and walked back to her kart.
