Chapter Text
|| 1987 ||
At first Felix thought it was a nightmare, that Felix didn’t run off with that… that game jumping creepazoid but as he watches the more robotic replacement Felix the two left in Felix’s place he has no choice but to accept it… accept that the real Felix probably died with Turbo in Roadblasters, but hey at least unlike Turbo Felix actually bothered to make sure his game would stay plugged in…

“I don’t know Turbo… we’re taking this little girls life from her…” Felix nervously objects to his partner in crime as they float in the Sugar Rush code vault. Tugging at the light blue collar of his new outfit, a light blue dress shirt with a frilly pink bow and chocolate brown suit vest and dark chocolate brown knickerbocker pants. Turbo told him that his new name would be Marsh Hare, but Felix is having… second thoughts about his racers plans..
“Oh hush! She’s barely had a life! She just got plugged in, she barely even knows who she is!” Turbo- no King Candy shushes his darling boy, trying to convince Marsh that this is fine, Vanellope can’t miss a life she never lived after all!
Quickly pulling the plugs attached to the princess’s node and pushing it into the darkness King Candy makes the decision for his newly appointed royal adviser, “We’re doing this.” The little king says with his eyes, Marsh sighing and nodding, “it’ll be fine Felix… Turbo knows what he’s doing…” Marsh attempts to convince himself as King Candy has Sour Bill pull them out of the cold void of nodes.

“Today is the 5th anniversary of Sugar Rush being plugged in” Marsh thinks as he hurries around the sugar coated halls of the castle, planning a party to celebrate, contemplating inviting the citizens of Fix-It Felix Jr. stopping in his tracks to contemplate for a second before shaking his head, the marshmallow rabbit ears atop his head swaying as he does, crossing their names off the list and going back to speed walking down the halls, past what might be the 11th guest room he’s found so far “Jiminy jaminy… how many guests was that Princess planning to have?” Felix wonders, turning on his heel and walking back to the throne room, sitting in his seat next to the Royal throne which is currently lacking the cart, he always thinks about how off it looks when his King is out and about with the Royal Racer.
He was making a personalized invitation for each guest when King Candy returned
“MARTHH! That… that GLITCH tried to race again! Thomeone gave her a coin!” The grumpy King yells, ignoring Marsh’s giggling at his lisp. Marsh rolling his eyes and getting up and going to hug his racer from behind as Turbo taps his foot and glares at the window like it’s personally responsible for his woes “Don’t worry, your majesty… She won’t be taking your throne any time soon.. I’ll send Wynnchel and Duncan after her!” Marsh comforts, rubbing his beloved’s shoulders, heading his head against his lover of almost 18 years.
At the party Marsh and King Candy go around greeting everyone, Marsh stopping dead in his tracks when he sets eyes on some uninvited guests “Your majesty… My King… Turbo…!” Marsh whispers to King Candy as he taps him on the shoulder, Candy only sparing his advisor some attention when he’s called by his real name, god does he love when Felix says his name, it’s so rare that he hears it nowadays “What is it Marsh?” King Candy whispers, going dead silent when his eyes land on what or who Marsh is looking at, the glitch, Vanellope Von Schweetz, Marsh looking at King Candy for help “What do we do? We can’t arrest a little girl in front of everyone!” Marsh asks, panicking
“Calm down bunny… I’ll handle it..” King Candy reassures.
Marsh never bothered to ask how his dearest got the little glitchy guttersnipe to leave, all he cared is that the party wasn’t ruined and that nobody said a thing about the brat, that night Felix and Turbo changed out of their disguises as they did every night and curled up in their soft sponge cake and cotton candy bed and cuddled up and fell asleep, although Felix couldn’t stop the nagging feeling in his stomach that someday their peace will be disturbed and he won’t be able to fix it… but for now he can rest easily with his Turbo…
