Wreck It Ralph Cherries Novels & Stories

And powerful to boot. I approached the cherries. They had three varieties and I wanted to try them all. They were in season and my absolute favorite. I pulled a burlap sack from my pack and read the pricings. Ten gold per half-pound?? What? That was an outrageous over-price for cherries. I looked up to catch the attention of one of the siblings when I met the eyes of the old woman. She got up from her seat and walked swiftly over to me. “What’s the matter boy? Cherries to pricy for ya?” she chuckled.

She stroked her cheeks, “Don’t listen to those kids, they are jealous of you that’s why they say such terrible things.” Cherry folded her arms and pouted, “I’m not a baby anymore. I don’t believe I don’t have a daddy. Surely I didn’t fall from the sky and land in your arms, did I? “Um…” Scarlett was at loss for words. “Mommy” Cherry’s doe eyes sparkled, “I just want a daddy.” Scarlett let out a bitter smile, “Don’t worry, I’ll give you a daddy soon.” “Really, how soon?” Cherry pouted her little lips excitedly.

“Do you like cherries? That little red fruit, perfect, usually enjoyed in syrup with some food or drink…” “I know what a cherry is, Olívia.” “Do you like them?” “What does this have to do with what we’re talking about?” “Do you like them or not, Gabe?” “I… like them.” “Did you know that sometimes the cherry you eat is made from chayote?” I burst out laughing, unable to stop, my stomach aching. It’d been ages since I laughed that hard.

The steam hit my face, hot and wet. "You made coffee," I said. My voice was a dry rasp. "You were out of the good stuff. Used the backup in the second cabinet." "I didn't tell you I had a second cabinet." "I looked." Jax scrolled through his phone, his thumb dragging across the glass. "You also have three expired protein bars behind the pasta and a bottle of hot sauce you've clearly never opened." I stared at the side of his head. "Were you going through my kitchen, Jax?"

I waited till I shut the door behind me before putting on the light. The room was decorated like a modern living space. There was a sofa and chairs. A glass table stood on one side done in a beautiful swan-like design. The television was large enough to have been teleported into the room. There was a refrigerator calling my name on the other side of the room. I rushed to the refrigerator opening its door to see it was fully stacked. My eyes glowed greedily as I stuffed my mouth with the cupcakes I found on the top rack. The food we had been eating on the island since our arrival was mostly canned goods and most of them had expired. Even worse, some had no expiry dates.

Morris was coming from the east corridor, jacket on, the expression on his face that Elias had come to associate specifically with news that required sitting down to receive. "Talk," Elias said. Morris stopped in front of him and kept his voice low. "The shipment. We got the full report an hour ago." He paused. "Kane's men didn't just take it, Alpha. They destroyed it. Everything. The goods, the vehicles, the storage units they moved it to." He met Elias's eyes. "Nothing is recoverable. We're looking at a total loss." The corridor was quiet. "Everything," Elias repeated. "Everything."

Cherry, chewing her gum as usual, observed her twin's discomfort. However, when Cherry realized the extent of Ixora's pain, her concern spiked. She hurried to Ixora's side, searching through her drawer. "Where are those pills? Where are they right now?" Cherry demanded, frustration clear in her voice as she rummaged through the drawer. She turned to Ixora, her anger mounting. "Forget Small Mark, I'm gonna pull out what's left of that old man's gray hairs if I ever see him again! Where are those damn pills now!?" she hissed.

“But it’s over now.” Mama G didn’t buy it—her eyes lingered on the fading mark along Raven’s jaw. “You sure about that?” Raven nodded. “Yes.” Before Mama G could press further, Cherry sauntered by, blowing powder off her chest and snatching a lipstick from the shared table. She gave Raven a quick glance, voice cutting. “You suck at hiding weakness, you know that?” Raven blinked. Cherry gestured vaguely toward her face. “Next time, spend more time on the makeup. Or wear bigger lashes. You’re basically screaming, ‘He hit me.’”

Chump snorted. “Aren’t you going to drink too?” “I’ll drink it! I’ll drink! I’m so thirsty!” Ralph nodded fervently before he asked again, “Did you bring any food? I’m starving!” That earned him a sneer and nothing else from Chump, who continued to feed him water. Ralph was extremely thirsty and opened his mouth eagerly to drink, but when he tasted the water, he found it did not taste right. It was salt water, and it was the kind that tasted like they poured a whole packet of salt into the water.

We share a bond as close as sisters, growing up together in that miserable, red dust covered orphanage. Cherry came to see her, fetching fudge and gossip, joking that she was going to head to that cave and scream for Alpha Dex to save her.. Even Matt and Felix visited. Felix seemed to bask in being a hero and brought Roxie some beautiful flowers, a sheepish little grin planted on his face at mine and Cherry’s praise of him.
