[Hello, Luceti! Have another accidental recording over the journal network. This time, you'll hear is two similarly shrill voices arguing over each other. A peek at the camera reveals something leafy and green...]

Somethin' wrong with your ears, buddy? I already said I'd rather race off a cliff before I'd eat one of those!!

But don't you want to be big and strong like your friend, little girl?

Uh, no? AI's don't grow up to be anything, genius. [DRAMATIC EYEROLL] Also, I don't care what you say, that stuff's nasty.

But it's good for you!

Gross is what it is! Leave me alone!!

[The camera then shifts around, only to show a flurry of pixels flickering in place! When that clears, the setting is clearly different (outdoors this time!) and a nine year old's face is peering into the journal.]

So some kid with a stupid name keeps tryin' to poison me, guys. What do I do?

Nah. [And then, proudly:] Ralph stuffed him in a closet!

voice;

[gleamed]

[O-oh. Well. That was...]

Are you sure he's okay in there?

voice;\

[sugarglitch]

Dunno. But he's got Ralph's elf with him in there too, so at least he isn't lonely!

voice;

[gleamed]

[...Somehow, that's not too surprising.]

But aren't you worried...about getting on the naughty list?

voice;

[sugarglitch]

The naughty what? [Blink, blink. Looks like someone hasn't been listening to her elf! ...Not that that's any surprise.]

voice;

[gleamed]

You know, the naughty list! My elf has been telling me all about it...if you get on it, Santa won't bring you a nice gift on Christmas.

voice;

[sugarglitch]

Santa? But I dunno anybody named Santa, why would he get me a gift?

voice;

[gleamed]

Because that's what he does! [Apparently.] Once a year on Christmas, he flies through the sky in a magic carriage and drops presents on the heads of good girls and boys!

voice;

[sugarglitch]

[Vanellope's eyes widen... but not for te reason you think!]

On their heads? Wouldn't that hurt?

voice;

[gleamed]

[...Well, she hadn't really thought about that.]

I have no idea! Maybe he uses Christmas magic to soften the blow.

voice;

[sugarglitch]

Christmas magic, weird guys givin' gifts... Sounds kinda suspicious if you ask me. Hasn't anyone ever toldja of stranger danger, Blondie?

voice;

[gleamed]

Oh, you mean like ruffians and thugs?

voice;

[sugarglitch]

Sure, I guess! 'Course, it applies to just about anyone if you ask me! [Words of wisdom! From the girl who bothers stranger as a hobby.]

voice;

[gleamed]

But...not all strangers are dangerous!
