SECOND LAP. [rocket frequency audio; video from lake of rage.]

[AUDIO; LOCKED TO ROCKETS]

So... How come we never do anything fun? I mean, I guess some of you guys think explosions are fun or whatever -- and they can be! -- but shouldn't there be like, I dunno, a company picnic, or a morale-boosting festival? Let's face it, guys, as a team we don't have the greatest track record of successes.

[NOT THAT SHE...MINDS THAT...]

Even some of you old, boring guys gotta enjoy something fun! Throw us younger members a bone, here.

[VIDEO; OPEN TO PUBLIC]

Alright guys, I've got a question. And I need you to think really hard on it! This is important.

[She stares into the camera for several seconds, brows furrowed to show the seriousness of the situation.]

...You can only eat one thing for the rest of your life. Go.

[...Yeah, she might be going a little bit stir-crazy in her tent, today.]

I'm not particularly too fond of sweet things...

[It isn't as though she wouldn't eat them occasionally, but she wouldn't want to eat it for an eternity.]

I do enjoy produce, though. Back at home, I was growing some oranges in my garden.

[?????? DOES NOT COMPUTE]

You don't like sweet things?! But... Candy!

[For lack of a better example, Vanellope gestures to her sugar-dappled hair.]

[suncrushed]

It isn't as though I don't like them, necessarily...

[It's just she prefers eating healthy more.]

I do eat candy at times but just not often, if that clarifies things.

[rarestcandy]

I would eat candy like all the time.

[...which she does, so, uh. With a sigh, Vanellope tries to look less indignant.]

Do you grow all your food in a garden?

[suncrushed]

T-That isn't very healthy, though, is it...?

[Though, she's pretty sure her words aren't going to make much of an impact...]

I do, yes. I, um, don't live near a city, so I have to grow them myself.

[rarestcandy]

Well I certainly never had any problems before.

[Ralph does make sure she has at least something a little nutritious on a semi-regular basis, though.]

Oh. That's cool, I guess. Do you like doin' it?

video;

[suncrushed]

I do. I find it highly relaxing, and it's a good feeling to see the seeds you put such hard work into planting grow up to produce fruits and vegetables. Even when I plant flowers, it gives me the same effect to see them blossom.

[rarestcandy]

Isn't that something that takes a really long time, though?

[GOTTA GO FAST.]

video;

[suncrushed]

W-Well, it does...but it's worth it in the end, I think.

[It also teaches you how to be patient, she thinks.]

[rarestcandy]

Sure, I mean, if you can't go out and buy food all the time, best to have something right there so you don't die or nothing.

...Just sounds kinda boring to me and seeds that sprouted up, like, peppermint trees or something immediately would be way cooler, you know?

video; sorry for the late tag!

[suncrushed]

I... I suppose so...

[Sorry, Vanellope, but you're probably never going to get her to agree with you.]

Leave everyone to their own devices, I suppose.
