"It's so pretty up here!" Candle replied, her eyes still wide at the wondereous world around her. SHe never thought it was so magical and big at the same time. It was just like something out of a dream. But she knew it wasn't. "I never thought that it was so big, when racing, everything just goes by so fast. You know. Now I really like it..." she smiled.

"Yeah. A whole, big ol' world for us to call our own... definitely worth checkin' out just on foot. It goes by too fast when we're racing." Vanellope said. She guessed that was why it was called racing. After all, they had to get to their destination across the finish line as quickly as possible. It was no wonder they hardly had the time to stop and smell the metaphorical roses. Or see the candy coated scenery, in this case. It was too cool to miss out on looking at. At least, that was how it was in Vanellope's mind. But racing around the candy world in their candy karts was the most fun thing she could think of.
"I mean, up until recently I had plenty of time to see what was around all the corners of the world. I wouldn't go back to that if you asked me to, though. I'm a racer through and through." she said. While it had been kind of fun at first to live like a little old homeless lady, she'd rather be a racer. It was in her coding far deeper than any other title could go. She then turned her thoughts to Candlehead and the other racers. She'd forgiven them, but there still was that tension between them she had felt earlier between her and Candlehead.
"Hey... don't worry. I'm not mad about what went down up until recently. It wasn't like we could do anything about what happened before the game got fixed. Just... don't worry, okay? We're cool." Vanellope said.

"I'm glad that you aren't too mad." Candle replied sheepishly. "I still feel bad that i couldnt' remember and made fun of you. I guess i just felt like i needed to fit in with Taffayta, that sounds really stupid now that i think about it." the green haired girl however decided that if Vanellope forgave her then it would be ok. It seemed that they would probably be able to become friends.
"This is amazing, i can't believe that its so big!"

Relieved that Candlehead wasn't going to dwell on that matter any longer, Vanellope nodded in agreement with her fellow racer's statement. Even she had found it hard to believe that the world was so big. They traversed it every day when kids came to the arcade and raced with them, but it was still mind blowing. Mountains with ice cream snow, caverns with roads made of rainbow sugar, the cola mountain, the candy cane forest... it was an amazing world, really. Perfect to gaze upon, at least to those who lived there, and even more so when they weren't zipping around the track like maniacs.
"It'd take forever to explore it all, that's for sure. But that's why I like it up here in these trees. I get to see everything that would take forever to get to otherwise." Vanellope chuckled. Maybe not forever with their beloved karts, but if they went by foot it would be a safe bet to say the trip would be long. "It's also a nice place to relax. Just hangin' out in the trees, no worries... no cares... just you and the scenery." she said. She slid down a little, allowing herself to lay in a slightly more comfortable position, and let one leg drape over the other.
"Almost makes you wish this was an adventure game instead of a racer, huh? I bet the kids would love to explore everything this place has to offer." she said.

"That would be the so cool. and sweet!" Candlehead smiled as she tried to imagine this game as an adventure one. Collecting all the candy to earn level ups. How fun would that be? And each of them would have a specific weapon. It would be awesome. "It would be really neat actually, finding all sorts of treasures, beating up monsters...." she was trailing off when she realized it she blushed. "Oh...sorry...I sometimes get really excited."

"Maybe I could talk to Sour Bill about arranging some kind of scavenger hunt or something for us." Vanellope said. Who was to say that would be impossible? After all, she had power to do some things within Sugar Rush. Not necessarily getting into the code, as she didn't know the password for getting into the core of the game's being, but maybe a little activity for the racers after the random roster race was done so they could enjoy themselves. Naturally, Vanellope would have to run it by Sour Bill before taking action. He was kind of an authority figure too, after all. But once they did that, maybe they could make something fun for them to do with the expanse of Sugar Rush.
"If he doesn't go for it, we could just have the fun to ourselves. Two racers runnin' around Sugar Rush, just doing what we wanna do... it'd be fun." Vanellope said.

"You bet your butterfingers it would be." The candleheaded girl said smiling, wow. Did she just say that? Normally it was Vanellope who made all the funny puns and jokes. Not today, it was her turn. "Do you really think he would agree, you know how...sour he is."

"Sure I'm sure! And if he doesn't go for it, then tough cookies for him. We'll just have to do it ourselves." Vanellope replied. Even if they were the only two interested, then that would be okay in the black-haired racer's mind. They would have fun without the others. And even if they didn't go forth on grand scavenger hunts or explorations, they could have the whole view to themselves. It would be all theirs to get a grasp of, and in the process they would learn the tracks better. The tracks probably were ingrained in their coding rather deep, particularly Vanellope since she had spent her days trying to memorize the twists and turns of the raceways, but it would still be fun.
Vanellope decided she was done laying on the branch she and Candlehead were on and proceeded to stand up, letting her hand grip the trunk and holding the other hand over her eyes as if she was looking for something. She didn't know what she was looking for really, but she was trying to scout. "Yeah... it'll be awesome. We could start from the castle," Vanellope used her free hand to point to the granulated sugar castle, "then head over here, make our way to the ice cream mountain, and then go through the caverns leading out to the end of the race track. We'll save the inner part of the cola mountain for later." Vanellope said.

"But what would be trying to find. Candy is kind of too simple. and we can't use the powerups on the race tracks? Or could we?" green haired girl put a finger to her chin and tapped it. What could they use for a scavenger hunt. It all sounded like so much fun, that she was almost wanting to go ask for it now. "Do you think the others would want in? I mean, obviously you and I are in but what about Taffyta and the others."

Vanellope opened her mouth to answer, but then closed it again. That was the question, wasn't it? She didn't know what they could find since candy was so abundant in Sugar Rush. Unless she snuck into other games and retrieved items from there without their knowing... well, she was short on ideas for once. A little bit disheartened, the black-haired racer shrugged in response.
"Got me. I just thought it'd be cool." Vanellope said. Whether or not the other racers would want in on the fun was another thing she hadn't fully considered. They remembered her now and were treating her better than they had before, plus Vanellope had forgiven them for what had happened so there was no bad blood as far as she was aware, so maybe she could let them get in on the fun. "Maybe after tomorrow's races and the random roster selection, we could ask Taffyta, Rancis, and the others if they want in. Then we can figure out how in the name of the mother of monkey milk we can put this thing together and what we'd use as scavenger hunt items." she said.

"Yeah taht would be cool, i mean i do like it. It really is a cool idea. But...i mean. It would be going about doing it and figuring out what to collect. Maybe there's stuff in the castle we could use?" she offered.

Lightbulb.
Vanellope didn't know why she hadn't thought of using things from the castle. It was big enough and there were surely interesting things for her to have Winchell and Duncan scatter around Sugar Rush for the racers to find. It was brilliant! "Candlehead, that's perfect! I dunno if Sour Bill would be too thrilled with it, but who cares? I'm the leader, and I can do whatever I want." Vanellope said. This included taking things from the castle and using them for a giant game-wide scavenger hunt.
"All I gotta do is ask those doughnut-brained police guys to move stuff from the castle to the different places. Easy peasy lemon squeezie." Vanellope chuckled. How a relaxing trip to the candy cane forest had turned from relaxing to talking about a fun game of scavenger hunting was beyond her, but she certainly wasn't going to question it. It was going to be fun!

Candle smiled, no one had ever said she had come up with smart stuff before. It made her feel good inside. "Thanks, glad you liked the idea." she then laughed at Vanellope's reasoning for Sour Bill not liking the idea. "And even if he could do anything, its not like he would want to. After all, the worst thing you can do is execute him or eat him..." she shuttered.

"Or get Ralph to eat him." Vanellope giggled. During one of their meetings, Vanellope had asked why Sour Bill seemed to dislike the wrecker, and he had told her what he had done to get him to talk about what he knew about King Candy and Sugar Rush. The idea of the sour ball being shoved into the wrecker's mouth had amused Vanellope greatly, to say the very least. "Either way, I don't think ol' sour puss could complain very much. Even for him I don't think there'd be much for him to say." she said.
"So all we gotta do is get stuff from the castle, have Duncan and Winchel take it all around Sugar Rush, and then we'll be set." she commented, nodding a little as she did. Vanellope liked the idea a lot, actually. They probably would have to wait until the next day to get everything in order, though. The other racers were probably tired and wanted to rest up. So, Vanellope would talk to them the next day about the idea. "Tomorrow is gonna be awesome." she said.
