Racing Love {Fix-it-Felix love story}

Chapter 3: Teaching Two To Drive While Learning Some Secrets. Also... Bonding?

She motioned to her, like presenting something amazing to a class "Welcome to my home!" she announced before crawling onto her giant yellow gumdrop. "I sleep in these candy wrappers. I bundle myself up like a little homeless lady," she said, wrapping herself in a candy wrapper.

It seemed that something seemed to click in Ralph's brain, since he looked at Vaney with sympathy. "By yourself? With all this garbage around you?" he asked.

"Well, yeah. I mean, everyone here says I'm just a mistake and that I wasn't even supposed to exist. What do you expect?" Vaney questioned.

"Especially since Orey is also a glitch," I said, causing Ralph to look at me in shock.

"She is?... Then why is she still allowed to race?" he asked.

"We came to the conclusion that King Candy doesn't know that she's a glitch... And we only found out about a few weeks ago," I informed him, hopping up to sit next to Vaney.

"Listen, kids... I know it's none of my business, but why do you three even stick around this game?" Ralph questioned.

"You really don't know anything, do you? Glitches can't leave their games," Vaney responded, lying down on her back. "It's one of the joys of being us," she muttered, talking about herself and Orey.

I set a hand on her shoulder, trying to comfort her.

We really need to win that race.

~ORELINE P.O.V

After Felix had fixed the shuttle, we hopped in before Calhoun took control, flying around as she scanned for the Cy-bug. While I watched the scanner, I glanced over at Felix... Who was looking at me dreamily with a smile on his face? 

I blushed, looking away. Calhoun must've noticed his face because she looked over at him. "Your face is still red. You might wanna hit it again with your hammer," she suggested.

"Oh, that's not blunt force trauma, ma'am. That's just the honey glow in my cheeks." Felix said, causing me to giggle slightly. 

I noticed Felix's smile widen while Calhoun rolled her eyes. "Okay," she muttered, seemingly hiding a smirk, causing me to look at her confused. 

"Orey,"

I looked back over to Felix when I heard him start to speak. "I just gotta tell you... You are one dynamite gal," Felix told me with such a sweet smile. 

I awed slightly, a blush growing on my face. I was about to reply when suddenly, Calhoun screamed, turning us around in a flash. I grabbed onto Felix like a reflex, hugging him tight as I felt my heart start to race.

Calhoun ended up stopping the shuttle in front of the racer's houses, close to mine in fact. Calhoun opened the windows.

"Get out, both of you," she told us. 

I let go of Felix, looking at her confused. "All I said is that Orey was a dynamite gal." Felix tried to explain himself. 

She glared more at the steering wheel. "I said get out!" she yelled, pain in her voice Felix glanced at her sadly before hopping out. I was about to follow when I noticed the pained look on Calhoun's face.

I could see that someone used to say that to her... And she must've either lost them or they left her. "Thank you, Cal. And I'm... Sorry for your loss." I whispered to her with a small smile.

I jumped out of the shuttle and after a few seconds, Calhoun flew off. "Oh. Jiminey jaminey... What do we do now?" Felix muttered, kicking a small gumdrop away.
