For me and Phantom. However, if anyone else wants to jump into it as a sugar rush racer. Feel free too. I really just wanted to give a shot at the headcannon i made for the unused design for Candlhead so i gave her a sister.
Patchy: Candlehead Priscilla Poxie
Green pigtails bounced up and down with excitement as the young racer finished the last touches on her kart. It had gotten a few scraps on it within the last race, and she had come close to getting at least a second place. Unfortunately, she had gotten hit by ice cream at the last moment. Not that she minded. But today there had been an annoucement that there would be a new sugar rush racer coming, and Candle had wanted it to be special and at least make a good impression

Phantom/Ray - Vanellope
A patch. Evidently, a patch had been made for Sugar Rush and a new racer had been added to the game. Vanellope had heard the news earlier that day and, contrary to how one might have thought, she was pretty excited. The game thus far had consisted of the same racers and, obviously, had the appeal of the random roster for every day. With a new racer that would mean one more to add to the potential group that could race each day. She wanted to meet the new racer and give him or her a proper Sugar Rush welcome. Not in her fancy attire, though. No, Vanellope had ditched that dress after Calhoun and Felix's big shindig and decided that she wouldn't wear it again unless absolutely necessary. Sour Bill had confirmed that it wouldn't be necessary in this case.
Vanellope hopped into her kart, the good ol' Sprinksmidge she and Ralph had built, and revved it up so she could speed off to where the new racer was likely to be. The black-haired racer had a hunch that whoever the new racer was would probably have been generated near where the karts would get fixed up after the races. It wasn't long before the mismatched looking kart had been revved up completely and was off like a shot toward the fix-it station.
"Newbie, here I come!" Vanellope whooped. Whoever the newcomer was, Vanellope wanted to meet them. Nothing could possibly go wrong with this meeting.

"Vanellope!" Candle called waving her hands up and down as she saw the familar kart. Of course her jumping up and down made her look more spazzy than usual but the green haired girl didn't care one bit. She was who she was after all. "Did you come to meet the new racer to?" she shouted.

Seeing Candlhead up ahead in the fix-it station, the young black-haired racer drove toward her and waved a little in greeting. Vanellope came to a stop after a little bit, careful to avoid hitting Candlehead with her kart, and hopped out to come up beside the green-haired racer. "Yep, I came to meet whoever this new kid is. I didn't think Sugar Rush would ever get any new racers. Whoever the new kid is, I have a feeling this is gonna be pretty interesting." Vanellope replied. She could feel the excitement welling up within her, and because of that extra joy that came with it her body glitched a little. It wasn't enough of a glitch moment to make her appear in a different spot, but enough to make her pixels waiver a little as the blue coding appeared and disappeared before settling and making her appear normal again.
"I mean, really. When was the last time this game got a new racer? I mean, the gamers might have referred to me as new because I didn't get to race until... however long ago, but this is an actual new racer! It's gonna be great!" she exclaimed. Her body glitched briefly again as she jumped into the air and pumped her fist excitedly, but settled out again as soon as she hit the ground again. What would the newbie be like? Would they want to join any of the particular groups of friends that had formed among the racers?

"Yeah its going to be great. I mean, finally someone else to race against. I wonder if they are any good." Candle wondered taking a seat on her own kart, before adjusting her hat and smiling a bit, typical candlhead smile. But the sound of a new kart coming drew her questions or anything else she was going to ask away.
It was almost a flash of green and gold as it pulled to a stop. Green mints for wheels and almost a jolly-rancher like center with its golden wrap showing at the front. Young girl stepped out of the kart and looked at the two in front of her. A big smile on her face. "Hi. This is Sugar Rush right?"

Vanellope's attention went to where the new kart appeared, and she couldn't help but look a little impressed by what she saw. It appeared that the new racer had a thing for green candy as her theme, and that fact reminded Vanellope of Taffyta and her kart Pink Lightning. However, this racer wasn't like Taffyta in terms of her appearance. The new racer looked rather similar to Candlehead, and Vanellope wondered for a moment if the newcomer was related to her friend. In response to the newcomer's question, Vanellope nodded and stepped forward to meet her.
"Yep, it sure is! Welcome to Sugar Rush." Vanellope said. She held out her hand to shake the new racer's and continued to smile cheerfully. So far, she didn't think there was anything to worry about. The newcomer seemed friendly enough, so she figured she wouldn't have any trouble getting settled in. "I'm Vanellope, President of Sugar Rush. Nice to meet ya." she said.

"Nice to meet you Vanellope." the newcomer smiled ."I'm Priscilla Poxie." she shook the girl's hand, still keeping the smile on her face, her eyes turned to Candlehead. "Candle!" instantly breaking away from the black haired girl, she gave Candlehead the biggest hug in the whole world. "How is my little sister?!"
Candle was still more shocked to see the familiar girl, she wasn't exactly thrilled but she would never say that outloud. "Hi...Priscilla..."

Poxie? As in pocky? Vanellope thought the name made sense, at least in terms of Priscilla's attire, but decided not to make a comment on it. She'd have to try and come up with a nickname for her if she could. Before she could really start a conversation, though, the little President saw that Priscilla had turned her attention to Candlehead. What she said next threw Vanellope for a bit of a loop; her first thought about the two greenies had been correct, as it appeared that Priscilla was Candlehead's sister. Her older sister, too, if she was to take what had been said into the proper context. Vanellope was even more excited by this prospect. It seemed as though Jubileena had been the only one with a sister for quite a while, but now Candlehead could say she had a sibling within the game. How cool was that?
"I didn't know you had a sister, Candlehead. Pretty cool that she's the newest racer, huh?" Vanellope asked. In the back of her mind, though, something seemed to have caught Vanellope's attention for a brief moment. It looked as though the cupcake-themed racer seemed slightly uncomfortable with the idea that Priscilla was the new racer. Vanellope couldn't imagine why that was, though. Maybe she could ask her friend about it at another opportunity. For the moment, though, she would act as a guide to the new racer and offer a tour of the game as soon as the introductions were finished.

"Oh, well uh...it just never crossed my mind to mention her..." Candlehead said thinking quickly. She was still trying to process the fact that her older sister was still here. In Sugar Rush. A game where she thought that she could be unique again. "We don't have a very good relation-"
"Oh don't listen to Candle, she's just too stunned for words and filled with excitement to have some sisterly bonding." Prisilla replied turning to Vanellope. "Just because I'm the new racer, i don't need any special treatment.

One eyebrow rose slightly, but Vanellope decided not to voice her question. Was there something about the two sisters she needed to know? Vanellope wanted to ask, but part of her decided it would be better to just go along with what Priscilla had said for the time being. She put one hand in her hoodie pocket and started to dig around in it like she was looking for something just as Priscilla said she didn't want any special treatment.
"Well, at least let me get your house key. You're gonna need it if you wanna..." Vanellope trailed off and pulled her hand out of her pocket. She opened her hand up and found that there was nothing inside. Panicking a little, she put the other hand in her pocket and began to feel around again. When she felt nothing, Vanellope gasped a little. She had forgotten to get the one thing that Sour Bill had told her to bring when going to meet Priscilla.
"Shoot! I forgot the key!" Vanellope groaned. How could she have been so stupid as to forget that little thing? She'd have to leave and go get it from Sour Bill, who probably would be none too happy about her forgetting it. "Don't move, 'kay? I'm gonna go get it from the castle! You two can handle yourselves while I'm gone, right?" she asked.

"Oh yeah sure. We'll be just fine. It gives me and candle a chance to catch up." Priscilla said warmly. "Right Candle."
Candle bit her lip again, almost hestiant, she almost wanted to go with Vanellope but maybe there was a chance her sister had changed. Not everything is what it seems right? So, deciding to keep her spirits up she turned to Vanellope. "You go on ahead. I'll stay with Priscilla."

"Okay, sweet. I'll be back in a bit!"
Vanellope quickly went back to her kart and hopped inside, all the while cursing herself silently for forgetting about what she'd needed to bring in the first place. She guessed that the thrill of the day's races and the excitement of getting a new racer had caused her to forget entirely. Whatever it was, now she was paying for her forgetfulness. Vanellope revved up the Sprinksmidge again and was off once more, the candy wheels of her kart bringing up a cloud of chocolatey dust and making herself swirve around in a circle before finally heading toward the castle.
Sour Bill is never going to let me live this down. Vanellope thought. She knew the little sour ball of candy wouldn't reprimand her too much, but he certainly wouldn't let her forget that she had forgotten a duty which was rather important. But how was Vanellope to know she would forget? She was still rather new to the whole Presidental thing, and it wasn't every day that a new racer was patched into the game. That would be her argument, she decided as she sped away from the two green-haired racers. He couldn't blame her for still being new to the duties that came with being President, could he? Surely Sour Bill would understand.
As she got farther from the other two racers, Vanellope briefly glanced over her shoulder again. She didn't know why, but there was some doubt within her about leaving the two of them alone. What was honestly the worst that could come from leaving Candlehead and Priscilla alone together? The other greenie seemed nice enough. It was probably just the anxiety Vanellope felt over leaving the newcomer's key on accident and nothing more. Nothing at all to worry about... right?

"So, uh...did you have a safe trip?" Candle asked giving a smile. However, a huge part of her knew that she would regret this question, as her sister turned and looked less cheerful than before. "I mean uh, did you find the place here?"
"Oh don't give me that good-goody act Candle." Priscilla replied. "I know you aren't happy to see me, but here's the thing Dummy. I'm here to stay!" she smirked. "Do you have a problem with that?"
Oh she really wished that she had gone with Vanellope. Oh, how she really wished. No, she also wished that she oculd stand up for herself, Priscilla always had been mean to her, so when she had left it was a relief. But now, she was here, in her game! "N-n-no i don't mind at all. It's great to see you."
Priscilla eyes narrowed again as a smirk revealed on her face. "Good, that's what i thought."

(ooc: Just throwing Sour Bill in for this one post. Then I'll go back to just Vanellope for the next.)
Meanwhile, Vanellope had driven up to her castle. She paid the oreo guards no mind and hardly acknowledged Duncan and Wynchell as she rode up and went through the doors as they opened up. She was on a mission to retrieve the key for Priscilla's house, and nothing was about to interrupt her. Vanellope slammed on the brakes and screeched to a halt in front of the throne. Once she had come to a complete stop, Vanellope hopped out of her kart and darted off toward the room she remembered being in when Sour Bill had mentioned the patch being added to the game.
"I have to get there before he does. Then I can grab the key, get back in the Sprinkdsmidge, and head back out before Sour Bill even realizes I forgot the key. He won't even know I forgot!" Vanellope giggled. She thought the plan was brilliant. If she could get into the room she'd left the key in before her right-hand ball of seriousness did, then everything would be okay. He'd never even know that something had gone awry if all went according to the hastily thrown together plan.
Vanellope pushed open the door to the dining room, briefly glanced about, and proceeded to walk inside. So far, so good. She didn't see Sour Bill anywhere and could see the candy-coated key sitting in front of her usual spot. Just as she reached her spot and made a grab for the key, though, the plan fell through.
"Forget something, Madame President?"
Vanellope froze, hand still out-stretched for the key, and glanced to the side. There was Sour Bill, looking ever so slightly amused by the situation at hand. He had one little hand resting against his round body and the other dangling at this side, but otherwise he looked as passive as ever. Not irritated, by any means, but Vanellope had a feeling that she would be getting a talk about responsibilities of being President later.
"I know, I know. I had a puff-brain moment and forgot the key. I'm sorry." Vanellope said quickly. She didn't sound all that sincere, but at the moment she didn't care. Vanellope just wanted to get the key and get back to the two racers she'd left behind at the fix-it station. "Can I just grab the key and go now? We can talk later." Vanellope said. Sour Bill remained silent, and for a moment Vanellope thought he would say no, but at length he gave a very slight nod.
"Thanks!" Vanellope exclaimed. She grabbed the key, gently patted the little ball of sour candy on the head, and ran back out the way she had come. Soon she was back in the throne room and had hopped back inside the Sprinksmidge, revved it up, and was speeding back out of the castle. One little slip up. Vanellope wondered if Priscilla thought of her as kind of a doof for forgetting her key, but the thought vanished as soon as she saw the scenery of Sugar Rush zipping past her in her kart. The fix-it station was just ahead. Now all she had to do was give the key to Priscilla and they could get a tour started. Assuming, of course, that the aforementioned racer wanted to have a tour of the game she was now a part of.
As she rode up, Vanellope could see the two talking. What were they talking about while I was gone? she wondered as she started to slow down.

Candle had almost cried with relief when she saw the familar kart. 'Thank you thank you thank you thank you.' she silently thought, despite the fact that Priscilla was still going to be a big jerk despite everything that had happened, she knew the act wouldn't change.
Prscilla gave a smile to seeing the kart, however, she glared at Candle one last time. 'I don't even see why you bother racing at all, you aren't good at it..' she whispered. 'You are just as dumb as ever.'
Ouch. That stung.
