Summary
Faced with the growing realization of Ralph's role in her life, it is up to Vanellope to decide how to convince him to officially be her dad.
Orrr, she can just abandon ship and stamp all these thoughts down until they stop messing up her life. Yeah, that sounds about right. She'll go with that one.
(Nine-year-olds aren't exactly the best with feelings.)

Summary
“So, you want me to be your mate?” I ask, my stomach full of delicious butterflies.
“Of course, what else would all of this be for?”
“I dunno,” I grin. “Maybe you just wanted to have some sexy fun with an alien.”
Adrian lets out a tinkling little burst of laughter.
“I’ve heard you are very good with your hands. But I have designs on all of you, Grace. If you'll have me.”
“We’ll see.” I push myself awkwardly up off the floor. “Let's have our big important date first.”

Follow up to 'I am healthy, I am whole, but I have poor impulse control'

Ain't you my baby? by FlvDmv

Summary
Rocky make a contemplative noise, before asking, “Terms of endearment for mate and family only? Would be weird for Rocky to call Grace “baby”, question?”
Grace’s stomach flipped. He blushed harder. “Uhm - yea don’t - don’t do that. It would, uh, definitely be super weird,” he stammed out. He followed up his incredibly awkward statement with a strangled laugh that was way too high pitched.
Or five times Grace introduced Rocky to the concept of human pet names, and one time Rocky called him an Eridian one

Summary
The egg is the same bright copper color as the rest of Rocky’s body, but smooth where his carapace is bumpy and brittle, the first Eridian-made object I've ever seen with curved edges rather than flat panels and sharp corners. It has a slight taper as well, narrowing upwards from its widest point.
Rocky’s words echo in the back of my mind: “Grace would be perfect at take many ♪♪♫.”
I jam the dissection probe through the shell.
