Hey guys. My first fanfiction. You guys'll probably see a lot of Wreck-It Ralph from me, but most will probably focus on the racers of Sugar Rush. Now I know most didn't play that big of rolls in the movie (except Vanellope, of course), but I just love them! So… this popped into my mind. Candlehead and Taffyta are probably my favorites, but I love all the others too.

Oh, and I don't own Wreck-It Ralph.

Hope you enjoy!

Taffyta was beginning to get annoyed, and worried. But mostly annoyed. She and Candlehead had made plans to meet at the Cakeway race track to practice, and she had yet to show up. It wasn't like her to be late; she may have been a fun-loving, easy-going little girl, but still. Tardiness was not something she usually exhibited.

Taffyta tapped her foot in the dirt, standing beside her kart, leaning over to look at the little clock. Ten thirty. They'd agreed to meet at ten! Having had enough, she decided she'd go find her minty haired friend. Hopping into her sparkly pink vehicle, she sped off, going straight to Candlehead's house.

When she arrived, everything looked normal. The cute little cupcake shaped house, with a row of little flowers framing the gumdrop stepping stones that led up to the cookie door. Not bothering to knock, the silver haired little diva marched right inside. "Candlehead!" she hollered. "You better have a good reason for ditching me!"

A faint little groan made her frown curiously. What… walking cautiously through the halls, decorated with so many pictures it was practically impossible to actually find the wall, she entered her friend's bedroom. What she found horrified her.

Poor Candlehead lay in her marshmallow bed, the fluffy blankets pulled up to her chin. She lay on her side, curled into a ball, shivering violently. As she approached, she noticed just how awful she looked. Her usually fair, cheery face was awfully pale and twisted with discomfort. All except her cheeks, which were flushed bright red, was white as snow. A thin line of sweat covered her forehead, despite her shivering. Her small jelly bean nose was a much deeper shade than usual; a mix of fuchsia and dark scarlet. Her breathing was raspy and uneven.

Taffyta felt her heart clench in pity… and guilt for ever being angry with her. "Oh Candlehead!" she rushed to her side. "What happened to you?!"

The other girl cracked open her watery green eyes. "T… Taffyta?" her voice was hoarse and frail, rough like sandpaper. "Is that… y-you?" she coughed weakly and whimpered curling up tighter under her single blanket.

"It's me." She murmured soothingly, sitting down beside her. She gently laid her gloved hand on her friend's head, stroking her hair, which was slightly sticky with sweat. "Are you ok?" she felt like smacking herself for asking something so stupid, but Candlehead didn't seem to mind.

"N-No." her voice shook, and Taffyta thought she was going to cry. Candlehead could be very sensitive at times. "I think… I mighta c-caught somethin at…" she took a breath, seemingly fatigued all of a sudden. "At Frosty Rally yesterday." The leader of the Sugar Rush racers couldn't help but find that a little ironic; the girl with a race kart that had six sticks of toasty warm on it, not to mention on her helmet, was the one that caught a cold in the freezing weather. They'd all gone for some friendly competition, as the arcade was closed on weekends and the roster race wasn't until tomorrow.

Suddenly the green haired girl let out a tiny sneeze, a soft little sound that wouldn't be noticeable in even the slightest of crowds. Still, Taffyta smiled sympathetically. "Bless you." Hearing her sniffle miserably, she looked around and reached over to the box of tissues on end table. Taking one, she gently pressed it over her red nose. "Here. Blow." She blew.

Tossing the tissue into the waste basket beside the bed, already overflowing with used kleenex, she asked "Better?"

She managed a nod and hugged her stuffed gummy bear to her chest, whimpering. "Y-Yeah." Her teeth chattered, and Taffyta suddenly got up. Candlehead blinked in confusion as her friend walked away, leaving the room, eyes filling with tears. Why had she left? Didn't she care? Was she afraid of catching whatever she had? Another whimper escaping her raw, sore throat, she buried her face the best she could in her stuffed bear and let a sob escape. She'd hoped she could count on her, but she'd just been proven wrong…

Suddenly, an extra weight was draped over her. Looking up questioningly, sniffling, a tear sliding down one cheek, she saw Taffyta draping another blanket over her, pulling it up to her chin. Candlehead closed her eyes and lay her head back on the pillow, relishing the warmth that suddenly spread through her and sent a shiver of pleasure up her spine. The sick little girl blinked open her minty green orbs at the feeling of a hand gently wiping away that one tear. She smiled gratefully, albeit weakly, up at her silver hair friend.

Taffyta suddenly held something up as she slid her stuffed her gloves in the pockets of her pin jacket. A lollipop thermometer hovered just above Candlehead's mouth, and she gave her a smile. "Open up." She opened. The lead of the little racers popped the candy end under her tongue, watching the pink bar slowly slide up on the stick. When it emitted a little beeping sound, she gently took it back. She was alarmed to find it read 104!

"We could bake cupcakes on you!" she exclaimed half-jokingly, half not. "You'd beat an oven in a cooking contest! You're burning up!" she lay her cool hand on her over heated forehead, which felt really, really good. "Poor little Candle…"

She couldn't help quivering under the cool touch, even though it felt really good. Taffyta smiled and gave her the lollipop back; once used, they just reverted into regular old lollipops, so it was a two-in-one deal. "I'll be back in a minute." She gently smoothed her blankets down and fluffed up her pillow a little, sliding the tissues closer. "I'm gonna go see the doctor about this. I promise I'll be right back. Ok?" she nodded weakly. "Good." She settled down beside her, stroking her hair comfortingly, murmuring soothing things.

Once Candlehead's breathing became softer and slower, she smiled. Gently taking the candy out of her mouth, she lay it back on it's wrapper on the bedside table. She stroked her hair a final time, before leaning down and hugging her gently for a moment, careful not to wake her. "Goodnight Candlehead." She whispered as she eased her bedroom door shut. "I promise you'll feel better soon. I'm gonna take care of you."

So… what did ya'll think? Was it awful? Halfway decent? Anyone? Review please! Even if you hated it, I'd like some feedback! I'll try to update as soon as I can.
